Proposal Committees
Dates Of the Several Meetings. Under
the Primary Law

Mr.. C. S. Amsden calls our
attention to correction of some
dates in regard to meetings of
county proposal committees as
recently given out by j. w.
Parmley, and the corrected dates
are:
State Proposal meeting at
Pierre on the first Monday in
each general election year, which
will be on Monday January 5,
1914, at 10 O'Clock a. m.
Meeting Of county proposal
committees on first Wednesday,
which will be January 7th at
county seat.
Mr.. Amsden says:
Section 81 fixes the date of
meeting for Legislative districts
composing more than one county
on the first Friday in January Of
each even numbered year at one
o clock p. IN. which will be Janu-
ary End, instead Of January 10th,
as stated by Mr.. Parnlley and
will be the first meeting Of pro
posal men held under the laws,
except the meeting in Sec. Is on
last Friday in December to in
struct state proposal committee
men if the committee SO desires.
Section 55 fixes the date of the
Judicial proposal meeting on the
first Saturday of January 1914,
at IL o'clock IN. which will be
January 3rd, instead Of January
11th as stated by Mr.. Parmley
and will come before either the
state or county meeting.
The dates for these last two
meetings as fixed by Mr.. Parmley
would fall on Saturday and Sun
day and would put the meetings
eight days later than is provided
by the primary law, if the inter.
probation given by Mr.. Parmley
were followed it would undoubt-
edly make the actions of the
mittees invalid.
Hope this explanation will
put the matter right in the minds
Of those in our county who have
read Mr.. Parmleys article.

HE LIKES MILBANk


To the people of Milbank-
l was confident that Milbank,s
first tag day for the children's
home would be success. My
recent visit convinced me that
the home had friends enough to
push a movement Of that sort.
During the six years of my con-
nection with the home, not once
has the fall season passed with.
out bringing abundant evidence
of friendship, good will, and
helpfulness to the children's
home from the citizens of Mil.
bank and vicinity.
Over six years ago, Mr.. Sher-
rard told me not to miss visiting
Milbank whenever opportunity
offered, "because we have some
of our very best friends there
| have not forgotten the base
ball games and their yield Of
splendid results for the home.
During contribution time,
every letter postmarked. emil

ance that it contains substantial
assistance. Every box or barrel
has hidden within, good and use

ure and comfort of our children

for the surprise which announced
on small draft, that Milbank
cleaned up $4l1.71 in one day 5
efforts for the home, which has
for years been the recipient of
many substantial expressions Of
confidence.
Every visit to your city has
been pleasure. The sign flung
across your main street, "You II
like Milbank,' utters a truism
in my case. / find my "likes'
growing stronger with every
visit, and with every new
acquaintance formed.
To the committee, to every
worker on tag day, ard to every
contributor, / wish TO record my
personal gratitude. The news
papers must not be overlooked
for the very valuable part they
took by giving publicity to the
event, as we'll as to the work OF
the home. Thanks to the good
friends all over the State, the
childrens home has been per-
mit,ed to labor for over a score
of years in behalf of 1896 home

a square deal and an equal
chance With the other children
in the state.
Milbank has done its portion
nobly in helping to establish the
permanency and reputation OF
the home which must conduct
it's affairs honorably and above
lust criticism. And should per
chance some one journey to
Sioux Falls, be assured that a
royal welcome will be given at

ceived by sowing cheat-seed of merri-
ment.
"The battles on now, to a finish,"
muttered Fran despondently, yet here
sit, and here I scrooch." Fran's
thoughts were at the abysmal stage Of
Encouragement. For a time, there
seemed in her heart not the tiniest
taper alight, and in this blackness,
both hope and failure were alike indis-
tinguishable.
"But weIl see," she cried. at last
coming down the ladder, well see!"
and she clenched her fists, flung open
the barn-door and marched upon the
house with battle in her eyes, Grid
ing up her loins-that u.s., smoothing
her hair-and sharpening her weap-
ons for instant use, she opened the
library door.
She knew Grace Noir had gone
to the city with Robert Clinton. and
yet her feeling on seeing Hamilton
Gregory alone, was akin to surprise.
How queerly lonesome he looked, with
out his secretary! She found the phil
anthropist immersed in, day-dreams.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is0attached to
the condition OF the grain crops In
Western Canada. especially among
the thousands in, the United States
who are financially interested in lands
In that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year In
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made a considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Cdudud WE'RE. AuunuoAS ouASAiAS

headed out in Manitoba between July

There is, therefore, the best reason
