HObble Skirt Saves Life.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. 20.-Grace
Stewart, a beautiful young woman,
richly gowned in clothing of the
latest mode, owes her life tonight
to the fact that she wore a hobble
skirt that had all the buoyant quail
ties of life preserver, although its
designer never meant that it should
be used for that purpose.
Shortly after four o'clock this
afternoon she walked out on the
Smithfeld street bridge and, taking
large sum of money out of her
waist, mounted the bridge rail and
jumped overheard into the Monon-
gahela river. Several pedestrians
saw her leap.
Striking the water rs feet below,
she sank only half her length and
then, buoyed up by the air under
her tight skirt, remained afoat. She
made several desperate efforts to sink
herself below the water, but in this
she was unsuccessful.
Joseph Boseman, who was rowing
on the river, seeing the young Wo-
man struggling in the water, hurried
to her aid and after battle with her
succeeded in getting her into the
boat. Boseman later stated that
Miss Stewart was only half submerg-
ed, floating like a cork, and that she
stood no chance of drowning while
the air remained under her skirt.

Corn-Cattle-CottOn.

Georgia will possibly raise suflci-
ent corn this year to last for one year.
This is quite an unusual thing for
Georgia to ever do-this being her
bumper crop-placing her in this re-
spect in fine condition.
AS to the cattle proposition, she IS
simply killing the goose that laid
the golden egg," or committing an act
of personal injury to all her subjects.
The scarcity of cattle, the high cost
of beef, the heavy advance in leather.
all is owing to the fact that too many
COWS and heifers are slaughtered in
the state. At the price of beef, it
seems reasonable that quite profit
able undertaking would be to engage
in cattle-raising for the market, as
every farmer could raise yearly one
or more for beef, and thereby reduce
tn cost of living. Make cotton the
surplus crop and the farmers will
then realize more money on that
crop than they now do as main
crop. Make the demand for cotton
great by cutting off the supply, and
prices will always 90 high.
All farmers should make corn-cat-
tle-cotton their slogan-and live %

BOTTLE ALL NOISE.
BY Pressure of Electric Button Any
Room Made Proof Against Noise.

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct 14.-In less
than one year Hiram Percy Maxim,
inventor of the Maxim gun silencer,
is going to hush every unpleasant
noise in Boston, New York, Chicago,
or any other place. The cars and
trains will go on laundering, the
wheels will rattle, whistles will
Shrek, cries of hawkers and children
will fill the streets; but you, sitting
at home, in your office, in railway
train, or in the street cars, will
hear none of this. The cars will
neither rattle nor thunder. The
streets will bear only dead silence
to you.
1t sounds Utopian-like one of the
dreams of a Wells. 1t is reality.
Maxim, son of Hiram Maxim, the
machine gun wizard, not only prom
ises all this, but in his home, at $50
Prospect avenue, here, he has the de-
vice with which he has proved that it
can be done.
BY the mere pressure of an electric
button, any single room or section of
a room, can be made absolutely proof
against noise.
There is something almost uncanny
about this wonderful silencer, which
in less than ten months from now,
the inventor will demonstrate pub
licly by first installing it in the ward
of New York hospital
The moment it is in place in this
ward every outside noise heard there
will cease.
The secret of the wizards inven-
ton, which is to bottle up the noise
of the world, is simple. The human
ear receives sound vibrations and
distinguishes them as sound up to a
rate of 10000 per second. Beyond
that rate Of vibration there is no
sound to the human ear.
The average vibrations of the street
the street hum or the street note
is low, as about 450 vibrations. Mr..
Maxim, with his silencer, will accele-
rate the speed of these vibrations be-
yond the ear vibration speed limit.
That carries them beyond the range
of the ear drum. In other words, you
don't hear them at all.
A noiseless world! 1t is large or
der-one of the biggest ever-but
Hiram Percy Maxim is going to fill
it. There is not the shadow of
doubt in his mind that he can.

Not Yet.

Mrs. Brown could only buy two
aisle seats, one behind the other.
Wishing to have her sister beside her
she turned and cautiously surveyed
the man in the seat next. She final
iv leaned over and timidly addressed
him.
Il beg your pardon, sir, but are you
alone?"
The man. without turning his head
the slightest, but twisting his mouth
to an alarming degree and shielding
it with his hand, muttered:
"Cut it out, kid; cut it out-my
wife's with me-"

Gets Divorce From Sixth Wife.

Dalton, Ca, Oct. 21.-Robert S.
Knox, who today was granted divorce
from his sixth wife, yesterday after
noon showed himself no mean enter
tainer when he rendered to the court
officials several songs composed by
him while the jury in the case was
deliberating over the matrimonial
tangle which had been given into
their keeping. Among Knox's songs
with which he charmed the court
was classic on Home in which
the delights of genuine home life
were strongly brought out.
Mr.. Knox, who is eighty-nine years
of age and a veteran of the Mexican
war, was in high spirits. He sang
number of songs and related Incl
dents connected with the Mexican
war, stating that if he was young
man again he wouldn't object to 60
ing over into Mexico and fighting
again.
The case attracted widespread at
tention here, owing to the number
Of marriages both plaintiff and de-
fendant had contracted. Mr.. Knox
acknowledged he had been welded
six times, while he was on the wit
ness stand. Mrs. Knox confesses to
having been married four times.
The defendant was on hand to con-
test her husbands claim to divorce
on the grounds of desertion.
While the hearing was in progress
Judge Fite dismissed all jurors in
stead of those serving in the case,
and after he had charged the jury,
the court was at ease while waiting
for a verdict. Then it was that Mr..
Knox freely discussed his matrimon-
ial troubles. Judge Fite tried to af-
feet a reconciliation, but the aged
man would not consider it.
Judge Fite then advised him to re-
main in single blessedness if he was
given a divorce, but he didn't favor
this, insisting that home was no
place without a woman" From his
words, it was apparent he was con-
sidering taking unto himself his
seventh wife.

NEGRO TEACHER ARRESTED.
Prominent White Lady Of County Re.
ceives Insulting Letter.

Mellnot Watson, a negro school
teacher of the Big Creek section of
the county, was arrested and brought
to Jail Tuesday afternoon by Con-
stable ]. B. Amaker, charged with
sending obscene matter through the
mails.
1t seems that a respected white
lady of that section received an in
sulting letter with the name of an
other negro, Doc Clary, who is a
preacher, by the way, signed to it..
AS it was known that the letter was
written in a better hand than the
colored divine could command, and
also known that Watson could write
a good hand and was at outs with the
preacher, suspicion was directed to
him. His house was searched and pa
per was found corresponding to the
paper on which the letter was writ
ten. He was then taken into custody.
1t is understood that there was at
first some talk of lynching, but feel
ing quieted down to such an extent
that the negro was brought here and
lodged in Jail. Doc Clary, also, prob
ably will be arrested.
Watson has been a school teacher
in this county for some time and is a
graduate of negro college atOrange-
burg.-Saluda Standard.

BROOKNGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, MARCH 6 1913

Resolved, That We tender our sim
cere thanks to the Womer's Civic
League for their help during the 1918
institute"
After the business meeting Thurs
day morning DIR. Brigham gave one Of
the best talks Of the week on Farm
Cooperation Along Grange Lines"
DR.. Brigham explains the workings of
the grange and told how it had bene-
fitted farmers not only financially but
in an educational and social way.
President Sherwin opened the after
noon meeting with a short and inter.
esting talk on some corr experiment.
ing Of his own. The past year he
raised eighty bushels OF corn to the
acre on a dry, sandy hill, though the
ground was we'll MANFRED. This corn
was all of good quality and he will
select the best of this to plant this
year, eventually breeding up a super
Tor variety.
DR.. Hume, head of the agronomy de-
partment Of the college, then took up
the question OF corn culture. He stat
ed that while South Dakota was not
generally considered as one of the
great corn states, still it Is we'll to
remember that We are in the cor belt
and can raise as good corn as any
stete. 1t is a profitable crop in South
Dakota, too, as a series Of experiments
at the college have demonstrated. In q
given term of years a plat of corn has
produced more profit than like plats of
wheat or oats. The most desirable
feature Of a good corn crop, said the
professor, is an even stand all over
the field, and the way this can be
brought about Is to plant uniform seed.
Every farmer II he goes about it faith
fully can breed up a satisfactory var,
iety of corn. He should select the
best ears from this years crop and
plant a separate row with each ear
and next fall he a pick out the best
