merchants Association. Hitchcock
Park will be. the scene of the carni-
val. The track will be widened and

The auto races should prove a big
drawing card for Mitchell. They will
be heavily advertised within a radius
OF rs miles and with good weather
prevailing the attendance probably
will run we'll into. the hundreds.
AT a meeting this morning of the
race management, 1t was decided3that
the aces would be financed through
an, advance ticket sale. No guaran-
[tee from local merchants will be So
licited. Instead. they will be asked
to dispose Of a certain number OF

STUDENTS MAKE
CLEVER DESIGN
THE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS GETS
STRIKING RESULT IN WORK
AT HITCHCOCK PARK.

Visitors to Mitchell's most preten-
tious park hereafter need not be at
a loss concerning the name of this
handsome pleasure resort. Immed-|
lately inside the northwest entrance,
on the south side of the main drive
way from the entrance to. the grand
stand. they will be greeted by an
immense,3 sign reading, Hitchcock,
Park" worked out in the soil by
means of alfalfa plants.
The unique idea of the design was
conceived some time ago by members
of the Park Board. of which w. A.
Wheeler is chairman. The work up
and completed early this week by the
members of the high school class in
agriculture, under the direction of
Professor Dick Lewallen. Young al
falfa plants. furnished by the Dako-
ia Improved Seed Co., were trans
planted.
"As soon as the alfalfa has attain
cd a more substantial growth, the
lettering of the design will be both
handsome and eGeStive," said Mr..
Wheeler this morning. The dimen-
|sions are t10x10O feet. For this year
at least, the only background for the
name will be soil, which for a dis
[tance of several feet onNeaeh side
will be carefully cultivated. Later
Itlie space maybe fNed In with some
.appropriate material. such as white
painted cobblestones. III

MURDO WILL BE
HOST IN JUNE
CITY TO ENTERTAIN SEVERAL
GATHERINGS DURING
MONTH ~

Murdo, S. D.-Murdo will enter
tain several gatherings of consider
able interest and Importance to this
part of the state next month. The
various committees appointed by the
Commercial club r looking after
the special arrangements for the sew
eral meetings and the citizens in
general will see that the visitors are
properly entertained and made to
feel right at home while in the city.
On June IL, the alfalfa special
will be in Murdo. This is a special
train being run over the Milwaukee
road carrying farm institute speak
ers and instructors who will talk on
general topics of interest to farmers
and especially on the raising of al.
faHa. The arrangements for this
train are in charge Of Prof. ,P. G.
Holden and "A. E. Chamberlain and,
the plan is to have autos in readi-
ness at each of the towns where the
train stops to take speakers to sew
eral ineighborhoods within a radius
OF ten or twelve miles from the town,
and hold meetings among the farm
ers. 1t is thought that in this way
more farmers may be reached at this
season. of the year than by attempt
ing one large meeting in town and
trying to get the farmers to leave
their work for the extra time requir-
ed to go to town. ga

following week, June Is, 16, ana II,

BY JANE WHITAKER

BY JANE WHITAKER
If you should ask anyone if we, as
people, still believe in and punish
witchcraft-if you should ask, for in
stance, the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst,
who has just written an article for
the Hearst papers in which he de-
clares that the Christ would not have
approved of the l. w. WIS entering
the New York church and thereby
breaking the law" he would smile
and talk to you about our advanced
civilization.
And perhaps the Rev. DR.. Park
hurst might believe what he was say
ing, simply because he has not
thought deeply enough to realize that
it isn't true, but that would not alter
the fact that "witchcraft" is still be-
ieved in and still punished.
For "witchcraft," when you separ-
ate it from the mass of lies about
which it was hedged by our ignorant,
superstitious forebears who in fear
frenzies were guilty of atrocious
crimes in their effort to stamp it out,
was nothing but the ability of the few
to see farther than the mass and the
fearlessness of the few to tell what
they saw.
And witchcraft of that sort exists
today and it is punished today just
as barbariously as it was in the time
we would fain forget.
Today we do not call these people
who see farther than the mass
witches" we call them radicals" "
And we do not pillory them or hang
them, but our representatives of the

law beat them over the heads with
clubs and our judges give them terms
in prison.
And for what? For the same sort
of witchcraft, for telling the truth.
We have no objection to men suf-
fering; we do not mind their going
hungry; we are willing that their
families should starve, and we are
sufficiently. charitable to throw them
crust when their misery intrudes
itself upon us.
But they must be silent about it.
We do not want them to cry aloud
that there is such misery. For that
is ''radicalism." And if we permit
them to cry aloud they grow more
brazen and they suggest that the con-
dition should be remedied.
And if we do not put them out of
the way for this form of 'witchcraft"
they grow more brazen and they en-
deavor to alleviate their misery by
taking something that belongs to US.
And that is "witchcraft" of the
most deadly order.
The Rev. DR.. Parkhurst has no OBJ
lection to the radicals" entering
churches, not even to their entering
his church. But they must come in
with their hats off, they must bend
their knees as the well-fed congre-
CATION bends; they must satisfy their
hunger with spiritual food, and if
they humble: "Give us this day our
