great need.

nize. / think some of you who have
more time than I have at present
might weave these titles into little
story or romance. / have given mostly
the well-known songs, as every one is
not up on the songs of the day So
called popular" and which prophecy
will not linger with us as these have
done.
These airs may be found in bound

BABY WITH A RARE DISEASE
Kansas City Physicians Puzzled by
Strange case-Very Young
Child.

Kansas City.-A case rare even to
the older physicians of Kansas Is at
tracing the attention of members of
the resident and visiting STATS at a
hospital there. A baby one month old
has suffered half its little life with
streptococcico polyarthitis. which
translated into less technical terms
means an Inflammation of joint cava-
ties caused. by germs known as strep-
tococed
The disease produced in joint cavi-
ties tiy these germs is not so rare
among older persons, and usually is
not very difficult to cure. There is an
anti-streptoeOccic serum which is gen.
orally used with good effect. but in
this case the wonder Of the physicians
is the age of the infant.
. Five places are infected. Two weeks
ago the. disease started in the baby's
right shoulder and spread to the knee,
wrist, the jaw and a place on its head.
The baby has been In hospital only
one week, but it Ia much improved.
and there has been no further spread
of the disease Physicians say it has
a lighting chance OF recovery IL It can
stand the long strain of graduating
the germs with the serum.
1t is not known when infection waa
started and no trace OF the disease has
been found in the infants parents. The
baby no longer cries and its tempera-
.ura is about normal. 1t nurses regu-
larly and issin all respects. outside its
strange and unaccountable disease, en-
|, tirely normal. !.

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH DAKOTA. sATURI
A NOVEL GRAIN pxPERIMpST.

[BY MANLEY CHAMpLIN, STATE COLLEGE,
BRooKINos. g. d.
Every now and then we have to 60
to the Chinese to learn something. They
gave US powder and first invented print
ing and many other arts originated with
them. What is true in industry, is true
in farming.
"The Chinese have custom of grow
ing grain in rows and cultivating it..
Since there is much of our state where
small grains frequently fail by ordinary
methods of planting, it was decided to
adapt the Chinaman's method for our
use. Accordingly trial is now In pro-
gress at the Highmore sub-station. Oats
and barley are being used in the expert
ment. One field is planted in the usual
way and not cultivated. Another field
is planted in drills, twelve inches apart
and cultivated with the springstooth
weeder. A third field consists of double
rows six inches apart with skip of
thirty-six inches which is cultivated. A
fourth field is sown with rows in threes,
six inches apart with a skip of thirty
inches for cultivation. 1t will thus be
seen that only three.eighths as much
seed is used by this method as is used
in ordinary planting. This season the
later method is proving best of all The
ordinary fields wilted and have been
cut for hay. All of the cultivated plots
promise fair yield of grain.
Everyone who has lived in the CEN
tral part of the state will Immediately
see the great advantage of method that
will produce grain crops in unfavorable
seasons even if the yield is not quite so
heavy in favorable seasons. The price
is nearly always high in unfavorable
seasons and low in favorable seasons, so
that the man who produces twenty
bushels of grain every year is ahead Of
the man who produces thirty bushels
one year, ten one year, and twenty an.
other, even though their average yield
is the same.
"When this experiment has run
through several seasons the results will
be published in bulletin showing ex-
actly what took place and the compare
tive profit per acre from the various
methods will be given"

writes:
I have been on the Isthmus for
nearly a year. have charge of the
erection of the Pedro Miguel Locks, and
this is sure mans work as it is the big
gest undertaking this world ever saw.
You may ask will they ever be finished
or when. The Canal will be in shape to
let ships through October LIST on one side
and inside of a year the Canal can be
put in full operation. The people of
the U. s. A. don't understand, and have
never been told the kind of a country
and climate we have here. 1t has no
terrors for me as never felt better in
my life and have not been on the sick
list one minute. We have good hotels,
fine water, free doctors and free hos
pital. 1t is warm here but every day is
alike and as for the rainy season I use
no protection but common umbrella.
One must see this work to have any con-
ception as to its size.
If any of my South Dakota friends
should come this way I would take great
pleasure in showing them some of the
Canal work. Under another cover am
sending you some Canal Records, with
my kindest and best wishes to you and
all my Custer friends.
I am fraternally yours,

CHILDREN'S PLAY HOUR.

watching a group of children playing
harmonious and interesting games un-
der the skilled and careful supervision
of a member of the Fairgrounds COM
mittee. The games were delightful
the children were being happily instruct
ed in rythmic exercises, and the only
cause for regret could see was the scar
city of children. Surely the mothers of
our Custer children do not realize what
is being offered their little people.
Vacation time is danger period in a
child's life. Unsupervised playtime is
wrongs own opportunity. And now
here is splendid chance for every child
to be guarded, while learning, new and
amusing diversions and to spend an hour
and half in social play.
Let us all combine to enlarge the use.
