farm in Mapleton township, north

that township, and they propose
to fight the measure to a finish.
They object to having 40 or SO
convicts as next door neighbors
and while they admit that such a
farm may be a good thing for
the convicts themselves, they say
it would make their own peace of
mind and safety less secure, and
they declare that law abiding
citizens should not be injured for
the benefit of men who haye
broken the law.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed
condition Of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the infamstion can
be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot

9 Month Term Advocated
For The Rural Schools

I'VE ought to have nine months oil
free schooling for every child in the
rural districts. ;" said DR.. p. T. Cax-
ton, United States commissioner o'
Education. In letter 10 the superin.
tendent of public instruction in the
various states DIR. Caxton calls at
t9ntion To the present short ruraI
term and naAes an earnest plea for a
campaign by tile state officers 10 bring
the school term for country schools
up to that for city schools. Manv o1
the state superintendenls have alread )
pledged their assistance in the nation
wide movement TO bring this about
Dr. Caxton points out how far We
are in this country from approximat
ing at present even the lowest mini
days. The average length of the ru
raj school term is on'y l3S days or 3
little less than seven months, while
for the cities it is lo4 Gays, or more
than nine months. Only two states
Connecticut and Rhode Island, have
have school terms exceeding nine
months in rural district. Eeeer
others have country school terms be
tween eight and nine months. The,
are California, Iowa, Michigan
Maryland Kansas, New Jersey, New
York, South Dakota, w ash Rgtor
aud Wisconsin.
Many states are considerably below
the seven months acreage. In d
keep open tor only SIX mouths; Flor
ida and Arkansas keep their schools
in rural districts open for b e months
while North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, and New Mexico have apparent
iy been providing their country child
rem with barely four months and g
! half of schooling every year.
Nearly all the city schools, thu
commissioner shows. already hav,
nine months terms. $50 days or more
" ith well trained teachers. and there
is no reason, he declares. why coun
try children should not have as man,
days schooling and as good teacher:

mum qualification for rural teacher,
of four years of high school and no
less than two years of college or nor
NAL school education, and good lib
raries for all rural schools. "Witl
| these he says, should go an etfor
to adjust the work of the rural school
more closely to- the needs of countr,
life"
A number of states with short rura
terms are making splendid efforts II

Farm News
Soil Fertility, not Crop Rotation.
Makes Big Yields

Why should the average yield
Of wheat in Dakota be only IL
bushels per acre? Some say it
is because farmers grow wheat
year after year on the same land,
but such answer is made in ig-
norance and with no knowledge
of the available facts bearing
upoa the problem. The average
farmer follows no such practise,
and if mere rotation of crops
would solve the problem there
would be no abandoned farm
lands in the United States, for
in most places they have gone
down to abandonment under good
crop rotations.
One of the reasons why South
Dakota now produces more corn
than wheat is because the corn
crop gives a better opportunity
to work the land for all that's in
it. But you will be interested to
know that on our old experiment
field in Illinois, the oldest in the
United States, we now have aver
age yields of corn varying from
2J.2 bushels to S6.6 bushels per
acre, the same variety of corn on
the same kind of soil, plowed,
prepared, and planted exactly
alike, the fields both cultivated
the same, watered by the same
rains and warmed by the same
sun.
Only two factors of influence
make this difference: One of
these is crop rotation which
changes the yield temporarily
from 25.3 to 49.4 bushels by a
system of more rapid soil deple-
ton. The other factor is profit
able soil enrichment, viii ic h
changes the average yield from
49.4 to 86.6 bushels in system
OF truly permanent agriculture.
There are now 26 million acres
of farm land in South Dakota:
and there is no other use the
state could make of revenues
that would render so great SER
vice to the commonwealth as to
appropriate one cent per acre per
annum for the investigation of
South Dakota soils. Restore, in
crease, and preserve the fertility
of the land, and all things else
will be provided. By Cyril G.
Hopkins, University of Illinois.

famous agronomist and sol! ex-
pert. He is a graduate of the S.
ID. State College of Agriculture
at Brookings and has studied Da-
kota conditions.

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-17

This is the story of a fight, to the
death, with sea vampire, the cold,
bloodless, homeless, f1eshless, fiabby
creature which wraps itself about a
human being and draws the life blood
out, inch by inch, slowly and silently,
until the last drop is gone. 1t is the
famous combat in Victor Hugo's
'Toilers of the Sea-" retOld.
The scene of this terrible conflict
was a deep-sea cavern. The hero
was GiIliat, a great, strong, fearless
man, who would>dare everything and
fight anything!
GiIliat was exploring in the dark
recesses of this watery cavern, when
he suddenly felt himself seized by
the arm!
A strange, indescribable horror
thrilled him!
Some living thing; thin, rough, fat,
Shiny, cold, jelly-like, had twisted it
self around, his arm. It's pressure
grew tight like the pulling of cord!
In a moment a long, spiral arm
darted out toward his chest. Another

passed around his elbow and reached
almost to his shoulder.
A sharp point, almost like knife,
touched his aTmpit.
A moment later a second long,
leather-ike, cold, Shiny form started
out of the crevice in the rock; crept
over his skin and finally wound itself
around him. Numberless fiat, round
ed points that seemed like small
mouths, about to drink his blood,
crept on his skin.
A third long, Cord-like shape felt
it's way about his body and then
coiled itself tightly around his ribs.
He pushed and turned. But the
more he moved, the greater the &C
tiYity of the monster.
A fourth and a fifth long, Shiny
band twined around him and all be-
longed, evidently, to the same center.
All at once, as Gilliat strained his
eyes to see, a large, round, flattened,
hideous mass made its appearance
from beneath the rock. In the mid
die of the horrible substance there
