for sympathy. because they look lone
some; but they do look a great deal
comfortable In a neat little cot
tage house than when they undertake
to scatter themselves through the diff
ferent rooms of a more pretentious
h%abitatiou.
Lots of men and women fool them
times larger than they really need.
They do It out of pride. They want
an opportunity to show off, and they
generally get disappointed. They can
exploit themselves all right enough;
but where they "get Off" is in the sat
~isfaction of lording 1t over their less
prosperous but more sensible neigh
bors. 1t is a sort of bully business In
which the aggressive party usually
feels a boomerang effect. The thing
hits back. Man needs but little here
below, nor needs that little long," but
a mans needs and his wants are two
very different propositions.
This little cottage is 33 feet wide
and 46 feet 6 inches long, with the
pOTcneS extra. Inc wall lS lalu up 10
a good height above ground. You have
a much more comfortable feeling In
a cottage II 1t is we'll set up; In fact,
the bottom OF the windows should be
higher than a mans head; then you
feel as though you might leave the
window open without seeing some In
vestigating tramp crawl In when you
are not looking.
1t is much easier to improve the out
side appearance of a cottage house
than any other style of habitation. A
cottage lends itself to a decorative
scheme in a very easy manner. IL
may be surrounded with vines, trees,
flowers or %shrubbery in almost any
kind OF ~profusion, and look well every
time. This is no reason. however, for
planting the grounds in a promiscuous
manner 1t is easy enough to lay out
a plan and work to II.
There should be an expanse OF lawn
either in front or at the side that is
! entirely free OF flowers or ~shrubbery.

ELks At MITCHELL
MITCHELL ELkS ARE PREPARING
A FINE PROGRAM FOR THE
ANNUAL CONVENTION.
HAPP ENlNGS OVER THESTATE
What Is Going on Here and There
That Is of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da-
kota and Vicinity.

Mitchell-The Mitchell Elks have
outlined a magnificent program of the
annual meeting of the South Dakota
Elks association, which is to owen
in Mitchell June 26 and 81. 1t is the
desire of the home Bills" to make the
other members of the herd" feel that
they are going to get their moneys
worth and then some when they come
to Mitchell.
The Elks have planned for a splen-
did program for the two days, and it
3 assured that there will not be a dull
moment at any time. Two high class
baseball clubs will battle each day; In
the evening at the corn palace a
vaudeville entertainment will be given
and these artists stand high in the
profession; a monologue artist will
hand out ONE dope that will please,
and following this entertainment two
dances for the Elks and their ladies
will be arranged in two halls. Each
afternoon there will be automobile
and motorcycle races which will be
quite exciting. All these features
named above will be free to the Elks
and their ladies-and the local Elks
want to see the brothers bring along
their lady friends. Business sessions,
to be attended by the regularly APP
pointed delegates, will be held each
morning. Come prepared for the big
parade, which is always a feature of
the annual meeting.
All railroads in the state have made
a rate of one and one-third fare for
the round trip, tickets to be placed on
sale early enough in the week to get
here in time, and everybody, whether
Elks or not. are eligible to take ad-
vantage of the low rate.
The grand exacted ruler, Thomas B.
Mills of Superior, Wis, has promised
to be present. and his coming will be
heartily welcomed by the Elks all
over the northwest. Mitchell will be
in fine trim to take care Of her guests,
and it is expected that a record. break
ing crowd will be present.

Mitchell.-Church federation is to
be tried out in Tyndall, in which the
Congregational and Methodist church.
es are to work together under one
roof for a period of four months. to
see If the plan can be made success
full. The combined church work will
be under the direction of Rev. Mr..
Shurtleff. Arrangements are being
made to interest the same churches in
Springfield to operate under the same
conditions. with the idea of becoming
more effective and at a lower expense

churches moving. In other places in
the state the federation has worked
out to a satisfactory degree. and other
places are contemplating following in
the same movement.

RedheId Has New Creamery.

Redfield.-Beside several new
creameries organized in the southern
part of the state. a new one has just
been located at Redfeld and has or
ganized by filing articles of in~corpora-
ton with a capital of $4,000. Incor-
porators: John Clifford. T. e. Doyen.
Nels Pededson. III. C. Marlette. John
Croft. The organization of these new
associations in the eastern half Of the
state shows a strong revival of the
creamery idea which vas widespread
several years ago. but which has been
allowed to lag. with many OF the orig
inal associations going out Of busi-
ness. in the past few years.

Nothing but nicely mown grass has
any business In the main lawn. There
may be borders of plants and borders
of flowers next to the house and along
the fences. There may be fruit
bushes and fruit trees, II the lot is big
.enough-the more the better until they
crowd one another; but there should
be system in it all. On a large town
or village lot a great deal of fruit and
vegetables can be grown III the back
garden.
1t helps the general appearance OF
the home to have the fruit or vege
table garden definitely marked off by
a low hedge. The hedge may be per-
manent, or it may be of annual plants.
Towering shrubs, or such flowers as
the saliva, dahlia, chrysanthemum. etc.
A screen covered with climbing GU
cumber (the greenhouse sort), scarlet
runners, sweet peas, morning glories,
o flowers, ETC., Is useful In some
places, and pretty, too.
When people get interested In grow
Ing vines, shrubs and flowers they find
a great many varieties suitable for one
place or another in the garden, In such
a way as to conform readily to a gen.
eral plan. A little house like this. in-
ished up In such a complete manner,
shows comfort; and 1t feels just al
good as 1t looks. 7

Rancher Found on the Palrie.

Reliance.-While John Donahue, a
rancher living near here, was driving
across the prairie after his cattle he
found the unconscious form Of John
Peterman. an eccentric farmer living
in the vicinity, lying on the prairie.

about Eve days later. His death. II
proved. was due to hemorrhage OF the
brain. he being stricken at the place
where he was found on the prairie.

possible he has no relatives III the

Land Office Matter,

Gregory.-Oscar w. Lang, special
agent of the interior department to
Investigate the land office matter, has
gone to Cheyenne, Wyo. He travelled
over the county of Mellette and parts
of Trip and Todd with horse and
buggy. On his return here Tuesday
he was followed by Frank Jackson
and Mayor Foster of Dallas, and 9TH
ers, who held a second interview with
him. While he listened to all argu-
ments. he gave no opinions, and it is
generally believed he will weigh the
matter carefully before deciding. II
Is not believed here that Secretary
lane and President Wilson will re-
verse themselves and change the loca-
ton.

Tolstox,s Last Wishes,

The last wishes of Count Tolstoy 70
garding his estate have finally. owing
to the devotion of his daughter, the
Countess Alexandra, been complied
with. Three-fourths of the estate OF
Jasnoia has been legally settled on the
peasants who occupied the land, the
other fourth, with the dwelling house
and the tomb OF the renowned author,
remaing in possession Of the family.
The mother and brother of this daugh-
ter opposed the alienation OF the prop
erty. but the Countess Alexandra paid
them 100000 rubles which she re-
ceived from the sale OF her fathers
rights OF authorship and thus became
owner Of the land which she gave over
to the peasants.

BEWARE OF GETTING IN RUT
Just the One Thing Which Womes
Should Avoid II They Would Pre-
serve Their Natural Charm.

There Is no need for the obesity
in middle aged women that every.
where meets the eye," says a noted
physician. Women do not exercise
enough. They marry and settle
down. Settle is just another word
for stir, set. crusty, and old. / have
known young women intensely inter.
ieges to drop every form of exercise
as soon as they marry. Then they
wonder why they do not feel as
young in spirit as before their mar
riage."
If you would remain young and at.
tractive, keep alert.
Cultivate varied and ever varying
interests. Spread out in as many di.
rections mentally as possible. Keep
above the plane of ordinariness.
Hobbies and fads are good mental
tonics. The home woman needs a
hobby ever more than the business
or professional woman. For there is
a monotony about homework which,
IL not relieved with the cultivation OF
outside interests, may result In the
loss OF a capacity for happiness and
in the appearance of the ''all work
and no play" wrinkles.
Be bright, therefore, and the very
warmth of your sunny nature will
prevent the chill Of neglect from be-
ing felt in your home.
Remember: 1t costs little effort to
always appear lovely in the ayes OF
all who behold you.

Lead for thirty-six hours. ~16-year-old
Katie Zagar of this city was found by

In her w~anderings the girl stepped on

There is more solid comfort In a
house that is Just big enough, and
no more" than there is In the most
elaborate mansion which is far beyond
the requirements Of it's occupants. In
all house planning, economy is the
part of wisdom; and the size OF a
mans house Is sometimes an indica-
ton Of his good or poor judgment. For
a young couple starting out In life, or
for an older couple for whom the flight
Of years has called their children away
to other homes of their own, a FIVE
room cottage like the one here Illus
trated is plenty big enough" 1t costs
little to build and keep up, and the
daily homework is not over-heavy.
A five-room cottage. however, that
Is convenient and that looks neat and
comfortable, Is not easily planned.
There are many difficulties in the way
Of laying out living rooms and bed
rooms on one floor. Cottage house
plans have brought gray hairs to the
heads of many architects, and a good
deal of comfort to the owners after
they are built and paid for.
Formerly families were not so hard
to please as they are at the present
time. In fact, a hundred years ago
the most fastidious and exclusive of
forefathers thought they were
quite comfortable In a log cottage hav-
ing two rooms and a loft. The front
room answered for parlor. sitting-room,
bedroom and general living room;
while the kitchen did service for gen.
eral work, comprising cooking and
washing, as well as storage for wood,
vegetables and many other things. A
little round-bottom table In one cor.
ner did service for a dining table.

the financial legislation being enacted
in the state, with the graft
that is being practiced by legislators
in trading support Of measures, with
each other, the people of Idaho can
look for nothing for the next few

the throes of financial ruin because
of the class of people they send to

DICKINSON AGAIN
MAKES A BREAK
Idaho Legislature Gives Women Joint
Control Of Property With Husbands.

Boise, Feb. 5.-The legislature to-
day made a record in the passage of
bills, the house passing twelve mea
sures in quick succession, the most i'm.
portant Of which was a bill providing
that in the transfer Of the property of
Of both must be secured. The measure
is one of vital interest to the women
of this state, giving them as it does
control over the property heretofore
held separately by the husband.
During the debate just before the
passage of the bill No. 115 by the judi
ciary committee, Representative Dick
inson of Bingham county, who gained
notoriety during the senatorial fight
by voting for the colored janitor, at
tackled the alleged motive behind the
measure, claiming it was backed by
women who wished to wear pants"
The club women Of the state favored
the bill. Representative Kolesch, chair
man of the committee, resented the
slurring remark and bitterly scored
Dickinson.
The senate staged a heated contest
over the Dunning resolution, restrict
ing the powers of the supreme court
and placing legislative control over
that body, the advocates of the mea-
sure finally winning out by securing q
favorable report from the committee
Of the whole that it should pass Dur
ing the argument the court was scor-
ed for it's action in the recent con-
tempt case in which three newspapers
men were sent to Jail and in addition
tined. Senator Dunning led tho attack.
Because Of the rapid spread of hog
cholera in this state the house, upon
the recommendation of Governor Hay
nes, passed a bill appropriating $500
for the purchase and distribution Of
cholera serum. The measure will be
rushed through the senate tomorrow
and Immediately receive the signature
Of the governor.
