the college discover whether or not
his materials r suitable. Some
sands and gravels do not make perma.
nent concrete, as was recently discov-
cred by the collapse of several large
silos in the state. This loss was not
necessarily due to faulty construction
or a dishonest contractor-the sand
and gravels doubtless were partly to
blame.

Brookings, when full directions for
shipping will be given, together with

of scattered agitation upon the prop
o%sition, the South Dakota High School
Debating league at last has been Or
ganized. Organization was effected
at Deadwood at the time of the ses-
sions OF the state educational asso-
citation and a constitution adopted.
The constitution provides for the d.
vision OF the state into districts, in
much the same way as that Of the
state declamatory league. The debat-
ing champion of each district will be
determined by the elimination pro-
ess The district winners will then
clash for state honors. Since several

ready have completed arrangements
for their debate schedule for the pres
ent year, active operations of the
league will lot begin until the fall of

Sioux Falls high school was given the
honor of being the first president of

forts. R. B. Iron of Rapid City, super

chosen to act with the two officers as
members of the executive board which
will superintend the work Of the

Fire Away.

A company of territorials were at
the range. The usual marker had
not turned UP, but a deputy was soon
found in the person of an old worthy
well known in the district who occa-
sionally acted as substitute in such
circumstances. The first round was
about to be fired when the captain,
looking towards the target, was al
most %stupefied to see the n%ewly-en-
gagged marker right in the line Of
fire.

 An opportunity which is sure to prove as beneficial as it is rare will be afforded the women of Newport and vicinity when Miss Fay Hendrix, the much talked of Beauty Specialist, now touring Arkansas as representa- tive of the United Drug Compa- |ny of Boston,-creator of the many Harmony Beauty Requis- ties and equally well-known toil- ct preparations, starts her pub- lie demonstrations for the week commencing May 11th, as the guest of Walkers Pharmacy, the Rexall Store and sole distributor of the Harmony Toilet Products in Newport.
 Miss Hendrix contends that it is the privilege of every woman to take advantage of anything that will tend to lend a touch of added beauty to the skin; but, says Miss Hendrix "extreme care should be exercised to choose only such preparations that really do help nature in the beautifying of your complexion.
 "Of course no one will ques- tion the assertion that the wo- man with the clean, well-pre- served skin is a much admired person anywhere" and, she con- tinues, If the woman of today would only take the care to treat the skin to the benefits of a good massage that she takes in read ing the household section of the paper, we would see fewer Wrin- kles, and more, yes, a great many more women young at fifty"
 We have no doubt about Miss Hendrix ability to offer the wo- men of Newport come very valu- able advice, and Walkers Phar- will, we feel sure, have a store full of the "fairer sex" during Miss Hendrix stay at the Rexall Store.
 Dr. Walker tells us that he has a real beauty treat in store for the women of Newport, so you'd better get ready for Miss Hendrix arrival, ladies. 29d6

At a regular meeting of the managers of the Elks and Ma son teams the following officials were appointed:
 Empires: Jack Sheridan Ware, Masons; Rexall O'Lough- lin McCuistion, Elks.
 Official scorer, Gus P. Coffin.
 These two officials have had many and variegated experi- ences in handling ball games, and the decisions rendered by them will be held undisputable. C.. Logan H. Crusoe Robinson will have his company of Mexican volunteers to uphold this state ment.
 Sydney Comiskey Mack will |peddle tickets to the game be- ginning as soon as they are off the press and it is to be hoped that everyone will tcome a. cross". A receipt will be given to each purchaser on demand. Dr. Chas. E. Carroll and w. N. Dunaway will have charge of the financial end of the game at the ball grounds, and all will have to hold tickets or two-bits. Those not having either will have to carry water to the spec tators and ball players.
 Jan Young and Clay R. Pate will have charge of the refresh ments and everything sold will be guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act. Dr. Erwin will be field physician and sur geon.
 On the day of the game, Fri day, May 8th, A. D., 1914, all Elks and Masons are requested to form line of parade at the Elks Home promptly at 2::30 p. m., and march to the park. The Elks will keep open house to all Masons on that date. Both managers announce that their respective teams are in the pink of condition and sever al scouts for the big leagues have already engaged rooms at the hotel for the day of the game.
 This will be the big event of the season and everybody will be on hand. BE SURE THAT YOU ARE.

Poor Colorado.

On the principle that charity should begin at home, Americans ought not to ignore the war now in progress in Colorado. IT some respects it presents issues of more importance in this coun. try than any that have beer raised in Mexico.
 A battle between striking min CTS and state troops, in which many lives have been lost, could not have taken place if all the right were on one side and all the wrong on the other. The trouble is of long standing. It proceeds from a determination on the part of labor to organize. It has been intensified by the enrolment of the state on the side of the mine owners inter- ests, which "are willing to sac rifice all their Investments in Colorado rather than yield on this point.
 Although Colorado is profes- sionally devoted to the social up- lift, some of it's ideas of govern ment and justice are as crude as those of Coahuila or Sonora. One of it's judges spends most of his time telling people of other states how to conduct their pub- lie affairs. Others hold day and night courts to support an indus trial theory that has been dis carded throughout the civiliz- cd world.
