COUNTY SHOULD PAY

At the recent meeting of tho county
commissioners they turned down a bill
of 5000 presented by DR.. A. w. Hyde
for care OF Chris Wiles, who was in
jured while the new court house was
under construction. In the commits
siOners' proceedings printed I'm one
of the local papers this was
made to read $4,000, through a
typographical error, instead of
5000, and DR.. Hyde wishes us
to correct this mistake. At the same
time it might be well to give some
little history of this claim. At the
time the man was injured DIR. Hyde
was sen for by the county's superin-
tendent of construction and the man
was taken to the hospital and given
the best of care. He was there for
five weeks, and one-half OF the bill Is
for hospital charges and the other
half for DR.. Hyde's services, both of
them very reasonable charges. DR..
Hyde notified the board that it would
be a county case, as the man was with
out funds, and before settling up with
the contractor, who was responsible,
they should have seen that this bill
was paid. That they did not is no
body's fault but their own and they
can hardly expect DR.. Hyde and the
other doctors who were supporting the
hospital at the time to stand the loss.
The board is of course a law unto
itself and the county cannot be sued
for the amount, but it is duty bound
to care for those who are unable to
care for themselves and in all fairness
it should pay this bill.

MOSTLY

Recently We wrote one of the mem
bers of the Brookings county legisla-
tive delegation at Pierre to know what
was doing there relative to the consoli-
alton of the colleges of the state, and
we received the following reply:
There was considerable talk about
consolidation of the state institutions
last week during the Conservation
Congress but | have not heard much
about it since. l have heard it m
ed that a bill for that purpose was to
be initiated but it is not started yet.
| think We have not much to fear, for
none of the plans proposed will SER
iously affect the S. D. S. C. 1t may be
comparatively easy to get such a bill
before the people but if it should hap
pen to carry the location Of the insti-
tuition would stir up such a campaign
as the Argus-Leader says, would make
the last capital fight seem as tame as
a dry farming congress-"
The Minneapolis Journal contained
a dispatch from Pierre under date of
January 80, which would indicate that
the State College is mo- to be included
in the consolidation, even though it
should COME to pass. The dispatch
says:
Petitions are being circulated for
the initiation and referring of a meas
ure authorizing the consolidation of all
of the state educational institutions

At the regular meeting of Brookings

in the annex at the State College, over
forty candidates were instructed in the
lessons of the third and fourth degrees.
After comforting of degrees a delight
full entertainment was provided by the

gree team for the burlesque which
brought down the house.
A feast prepared by the women of

with the singing of favorite grange
songs.
Many visiting patrons were present
from Pleasant View Grange and sew
eral guests came from the new grange
lately organized in the community

HANSEN'S NEW PlUMS

In the last number of the Dakota
Farmer a nursery company has a page
ad telling of the plums originated
by Prof. n. E. Hansen of the State
College. The ad is illustrated with a
large picture of the professor taken in
his orchard, and contains the following
among other things: Solomon said.
there is nothing new under the sun.
We are of the opinion that Solomon
had not met Prof. Hansen of the Brook,
ings College, nor seen his new plum
productions. Had he seen Prof. Han
sen or the plums he would never have
made the above remark, because Prof.
Hansen is strictly new. There never
has been so great a wizard, nor any
like him before; possibly there never
will be again. He tackles the impos.
sible and makes it possible. He teaches
Nature tricks that Dame Nature never
knew before. He steals the size, beau
ty, keeping quality and tropical appear
ance of the tropical plum and with this
valuable asset he goes out in the Bad
Lands of western South Dakota and
searches the hillside for the Wild Sand
Cherry growing where nothing else
will, standing a temperature of 40 to 90
degrees below zero, the bowling bliz-
zard, the almost tropical heat and the
very light rainfall of summer, and still
producing large quantities of fairly
good though very small fruit. He takes
from this shrub its hardness and frag-
rance and it's small pits, and combines
them with what he took from the tropi-
cal plums, and makes a fruit equal in
size, beauty, shipping quality and ap-
p%earance Of tropical varieties, retain
ing the hardness, fragrance and small
pits of the wild Sand Cherry. We pack
ed in a small wooden box holding
about one quart, a quantity of the
Hanska and shipped them to San Fran
cisco, California, with instructions to
after sampling them. to New
York City. We instructed New York
in turn, on receiving the package to
sample the fruit, report its condition
and reship to us. We are printing here
the reports of the San Franci 4co and
New York parties, and our report is
that the fruit reached us in reasonably
fair condition. 1t was sixteen days in
the mail, opened, inspected and re-
packed twice, and still reached us in
marketable shape. What would Solo
mon say if he could see the new Han
PLUMP"

The plans call for a building of one
story and a basement. The basement
VIII be all above ground, similar to the
court house basement, the first story
VIII be reached by a double stairs, as
is the arrangement at the court house.
The first story will be occupied entire
ly by the post Office and the basement
Will be divided off into storerooms. a
rest room, vaults, heating plant and
toilets.
The building is to have a ground
area of 5000 square feet and will be
about 6OxS0. The present post office
has an area of 2,4OO square feet and in
the new building there will be over
twice this amount of space on each
floor. This will give space for a large
lobby and provide much needed room
for the work of the office.
The building will be built at the
corner of Main and Fifth streets and
Will face both streets, with a corner
entrance. 1t will be faced with Bed
ford stone, with rear walls of brick
and will have a copper and tile roof.
The construction throughout will be
f~ire-proof. 1t will cost $4,000 exclus-
i've of the site.

CONSERVATION
CONGRESS MEETS
AT PIERRE AND DISCUSSES MAT.
TIERS OF VITAL INTEREST
TO THE STATE
PROFESSOR \. {. HANSEN IS HONORED
BY Commentator For His Work in De.
~veIoping New Fruits-College Fac
ulty Takes Important Part

The annual meeting of the South
Dakota Conservation Congress was
held at Pierre three days last week,
closing on Thursday. The meeting
was an interesting one and much good
to the state is expected to result from
it. President Slagle of the State Col
lege, made n of the best talks of the
meeting, a resume of which We gave
in last weeks Register. Profs. Han
sen, Hume and Larsen, We're also on
the program and gave addresses that
were most favorably commented upon.
The congress extended an unusual
honor to Prof. Hansen by including in
the resolutions a commentator for his
work in developing alfalfa and new
fruits for South Dakota. This para
graph said:
Resolved, that we recommend n. E.
Hansen for his untiring work in the
development of hardy fruits and alfalfa
for our prairie country, and that We
recommend a more liberal appropria-
ton for the purpose of spreading these
valuable productions over the state"
The resolutions request the legisla-
ture to appropriate at least as much,
if not more, to agriculture as it does to
the state militia. State aid to cen
tralized high schools equipped for ade
quate agricultural and horticultural
education of the rural young was in
dorsed, also early consolidation of the
higher educational institutions of the
state at some central point instead of
scattering the efforts and in
keeping up several of such institutions.
The resolutions also commend the at
titude of Governor Byrne in his posi-
ton that it is the duty of an elective
or appointive officer of the state to be
ION the Job" all the time or quit and
indorse the highway movement and i'm
provement of the highways of the state
through the use Of convict labor.
The congress appointed a legislative
committee to present to the legisla-
ture in the form of bills the general
idea of what the congress wants.
The officers of the association Sc
lected for the coming year are Presi-
dent, E. C. Parisho, of Vermillion; vice
president, Mark Rich of Hot Springs;
secretaryltreasurer, Charles McCaffre
of Howard. These with n. E. Hansen
of Brookings, and George H. Whiting
will form the executive committee.
This committee selected Sioux Falls as
the place, and the second week in jan
uary of next year as the time for mold
inc the next convention.

remaining days until the close. The
race is SO close that a few subscrip.
tons may win or lose the automobile

for delay, hesitancy or inertia; but a
time for action, energy and good hard
work.

you can do today" Here is an oft re-
peated little motto, but it will bring
big results to the candidate who will
follow it until the close of the contest,

that are at stake. Its a life time
chance to get a high-grade automobile
