The Value Of Leadership.

Chicago News: William Kent, for
merly of Chicago, now representative
in from a California district,
has the happy faculty OF getting d.
rectly at the heart OF a question Whea
he begins to discuss it. For example.
in a recent article in Harper's Weekly,
dealing with the Wilson administra-
fion. Mr.. Kent writes: "The chief CON-
plant made against woodrow Wilson
Ia taht he is dominating legislation
and is acting as a leader. 1t there is
any one thing needed nde our sys-
tenn Of hampering checks and balanc-
ed, il is leadership. Our house and
senate have been so pitted against
each other by the doubts and fears
Mai are evidenced in the constitution
that somewhere there must be efficien-
CIV and leadership. If the man who,
alone anon all elected officials in the
nation, owes his election to the entire
people and not to any specinc district
or state-if this man, who alone is free
from the pressure of local interests
and local demands. cannot afford lead
! ership, then the ship Of state is indeed
without a. pilot"
Mr.. Roosevelt as governor of New
York and later as president OF the
United States, Mr.. Hughes as govern
OF OF New York and Mr.. wilson as
! governor OF New Jersey and now as
the nations chief executive, have won
renown because they assumed respon-
sibilities Of leadership. Under our
systeh, the chief executive must be a
leader if the government is to func-
ton In the interest OF the people az q
whole, If the executive does not lead,
tie legislative body either founders In
hopeless incompetencN or the reins OF
power are taken In hand by some arre-
~sponsible party boss.

term, and also a great popular leader,

THE STATE FAIR.

Huron, July l.-Former visitors to
the South Dakota State Fair who attend
the 1914 Exposition at Huron will be in
a strange place so far as the arrangement
of the grounds is concerned. State En-
gineer H. M. Derr has had the grounds
resurveyed and replatted, which means
that the roads, alley and all streets, in
Guiding Midway and Machinery Row
will all be differently located and ar
ranged. The new plan will make all,
parts of the grounds readily accessible.
while the artistic effect will be strength
sned.
One new feature which will be appre-
ciated, is the laying of walks from the
Main Entrance on Third Street to Ma
chinery Hall and Dairy Building. Main
Entrances will now be located on Third
Street, with up.to-date turnstile systems
for foot passengers and vehicles. Exits
will be located on Second and Fourth
Train entrances will remain as they were
last year. Automobiles will be parked
on the grounds on the south side Of
Third Street short distance from Main
Entrance, and will be guarded by de-
tachments of State Militia.
State Fair buildings are being repaint-
ed, and when the gates are opened or
Monday, September IA, the whole
grounds will be spick and span. A check
room and Information Bureau is being
constructed near the entrance for the
convenience of Fair visitors. A new
mess house will also be built for the
Militia, while engagements equivalent
to two new barns will be made on the
swine buildings.

REDER CLAIMS SUBJECT LITI-

ShIlcN bEfohE Lam ~ offlCE.
In preparation for engaging in mining
on large scale the Pahasa company,
successors to the Harvey Peak Mining
and Milling company, are perfecting
title to claims and prospects inherited
from the old and defnnct company.
In the United States land Office has
been heard during the past week claims
advanced by the government that the
old Reder claims near Hill City are not
mineral in character but are better
adapted to agriculture and forestry pur-
poses.
These claims were prospected by the
Reder brothers, now deceased, in 1885,
and sold to the Harney Peak company
for $4,000 in 1894. When this company
went into the hands of receiver Judge
Latham in New York granted an in
junction restraining further develop
ment work on the claims, which had
Fbeen surveyed and staked out by metes

acres.
In 1893 the public survey was extend
ed 30 as to include the Reder claims and
the receiver of the Harney Peak COM
pany given permission to prove up on
the claims. The commissioner of the
general land Office held that the COM
pany had been guilty of lashes in filing
its proof but this was set aside and
patent denied on the ground that the
survey did not conform to the rectan-
gular form demanded by the public sur
vey. This was correc ed and in 1899 ap-
plication was made for patent, The
Pahasa company secured the property
by foreclosure and its attempt to make
final proof was disputed by the govern
ment on the ground that the land is not
mineral in character.
At the hearing the Pahasa company
was represented by E. A. Grantham, c.
j. Buell. and Howell Matthias. The
governments claims were presented by
George L. Trowbridge of Denver, J. j.
Brosman and A. B. Borghton of Pierre.
The property in question is the key to
other property held by the Pahasa COM
pany. which has perfected title to a
large tract about Hill City, containing
evidence of gold, silver and tin in pay
ing quantities. The Reder claims are
considered the best property in that vi
cinity and give indications of large
yield of metal. 1t is impossible to de-
velop them by ordinary placer methods.
The company proposes to install a
dredge and mine on large scale if title
to the claims in dispute is secured

DEMAND FOR VEAL
RAPIDLY lNCREASIN q

hAflDL lNChBASlNJ Jt
THE demand for veal has increased
rapidly, and not only are the surplus
dairy calves slaughtered but thousands
of beef calves as well, until calf will
now sell for from $S to $l2 when only
two to three months DID,"
This quotation from Farmers Bulletin
588 of the department means that unless
the farmer has unlimited cheap feeds, il
is usually more profitable to market the
dairy or dual-purpose calves than to at!
tempt to raise them, even though some
of them might make good steers.c While
many deplore this heavy slaughter Of
calves, and legislation against it has
been urged, the consumers demand
must be met.
While the number of cattle has de-
creased, the demand for meat has naturi
ally grown until not only have the ex.
ports nearly ceased, bnt the packers,
that they may provide cheaper meat,
are now buying, many cattle that were
formerly fed The farmers who former.
ly bought nearly finished cattle as feed
ers have been compelled to pay higher
prices for such cattle or take thinner
animals.
The cattle-feeding business has chang;
ed greatly during recent years. Former
ly steers from to years of age were
fed in large numbers on commercial
feed at yards near granaries or mills, or
upon large farms where only the rough
age was grown, and the cattle were kept
on full feed for six months or longer.
This method became too expensive.
so feeding is now conducted upon farms
as a means of marketing farm products
by converting them into beef, while the
manure produced is utilized as by-pro-
duct for maintaining fertility.

REMOVES CLOUD ON
HOMESTEADERS TITLE.

Practically all of the homestead titles
in western South Dakota are improved
by the decision of the United States su-
preme court in the California oil lands
case. In the patents issued to home
steaders for many years past reserva-
ton has been included, holding the
mineral rights in the government on a
blanket proposition. Very few of those
getting title really knew of this reserva-
tion, and those who did know of it had
no recourse but to accept the conditions
imposed. Under this decision the home
steader gets an unclouded title to his
premises, including the right to any
mineral or oil finds not specifically listed
and exempted at the time of issuing
patent

DIRECTIONS FOR SHIPPING
MILK TO MARHE'r

With the approach of hot weather the
department is warning dairymen again
not to hold their milk before shipping
it to market. A practice prevalent in
some places is to take the morning milk,
combine it with afternoon milk of the
same day and ship this combination
early the following morning. This
means that the morning milk is kept
through the heat of the day. When it
reaches the consumer, "a hours or more
old, the archaeological count is high.
This explains, the department experts
say, why milk from dairies in which all
the conditions appear to be excellent is
frequently found to be bacteriologically
bad.
The remedy recommended by the de-
partment is to hold the afternoon milk,
properly cooled. through the cooler
hours of the night, and ship it the next
morning with the morning milk, also
properly cooled, without mixing the two.
1t is of course essential to this plan that
the train schedules be adapted to it, but
lit is felt that when the importance of
the change is fully recognized this diff
Guilty will be overcome. Such procedure
in cooling and handling would material
ly reduce the possibility of sour milk
reaching the markets.
Shippers are also urged by the depart
ment to see that the milk is thoroughly
cooled, as an important step in keeping
its archaeological count low.
