Location Of
Party Ticket
Controlled by Vote Tor Governor
Over the Whole State.

That the vote for governor
over the whole state, and not by
individual counties, is to control
the location of the party ticket
upon the ballot, is the holding of
Attorney General jackson, on
inquiry from Edpunds County.
Chapter 1913. laws of 1913. fixes
the location of the ticket placing
at the left Of the ballot the tick
ct Of the party which received
the greatest number of votes at
the last preceding general cleo
ton. Apparently some of the
auditors look upon this as mean
ing the individual county vote,
which is held to be wrong. such
vote to be disregarded and the
vote of the whole state to rule.
On inquiry from DR.. II. }. Rock,
chairman Of the democratic state
committee, it is held that in case
Of the vacancy on the state tick
ct of that party through the
withdrawal of their candidate
for railway commissioner, it is
the province of the state COM
mittee to select a candidate to
fill this vacancy, and that in
such action no formal method is
fixed leaving it to them to act in
any manner they see fit, either
through a regularly called meet
ing. or by endorsement by mem
bers Of the committee.

Care of Seed Germ

Where corn grew wild there
was a dry season in place of our
winter. Each kernel contains a
tender living corn plant. Upon
the treatment given this plant
depends the size and number of
ears it will produce.
Many test Of two lots of seed
alike when gathered, one prom
pity dried and kept dry during
winter, the other cribbed, have
proved that we'll preserved seed
will yield from a few up to Is
bushels an acre more than crib
seed. In the case of the 1S bu-
shells increase, both lots germ
mated equally well. The increas-
ed yield was due entirely to
prompt drying and better care
during the winter.
Good care means early gather
ing, prompt drying Immediately
after gathering and keeping
constantly dry and at fairly
uniform temperature. IS ee

Our State College Has National
Standing

About sixty graduates of the
South Dakota State College at
Brookings are professors or in
structorS in some OF the leading
universities and colleges of the
United States, as many as seven
out of a single class being thus
employed. In fact, of the tWen-
ty-seven classes which have been
graduated from State College,
only four classes are unrepresent-
ed by alumni on the teaching
staff Of institutions Of high rank.
They are teaching agriculture,
home economies, engineering or
pharmacy.
Three graduates are on the
faculty of the University of Wis
consin; three at University of
Idaho; two at Purdue University:
one each at the Universities of
Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, Ari-
zona. Nebraska, and Ohio; and
two are at the university of Wy
oming, Graduates of the State
College are teaching in Pennsyl-
vania State College. Oregon Ag-
ricultural College, Brooklyn Bot
anic Gardens, Michigan Agricul-
tural College, Aberdeen Normal,
Marquette University, Mass. In
stitute Of Technology, South Da-
kota State College, Kansas Ag.
ricultural College, Oregon Agri-
cultural College, Worcester Poly
technic Institute, Washington
State Normal, North Dakota Ag-
ricultural College, Montana Agri-
cultural College, and Kansas City
Veterinary College.
This only partly covers the ex-
cellent work by this South Da-
kota institution. South Dakota
citizens may well take pride in
their college whose graduates
are sought by other states for
expert service. Much might be
written Of the hundreds of grad
1ates, who are serving their own |
State, South Dakota, as careful |
farmers, engineers. pharmacists
and home makers. Their service
'epays the cost of the college
thousand fold, even in dollars
md cents. and repays more than
hat in service which cannot be
measured in money values.

First Day Crowd
at Fair is Record
Auto Races Prove Big Card For
Day and Good Races Staged.


Monday dawned bright and
warm, for the opening of the
the state fair, following several
cool and rainy days. The good
weather and the special automo-
bile race events brought out the
biggest first day crowd in the
history Of the fair. At 2 O'Clock
p. M, the treasurer of the fair
estimated that twice as many
people We're on the grounds as
on Monday year ago.
There are better exhibits than
ever and all of the displays in
the various buildings were in
place at the opening Monday
morning, the only falling off be-
ing in machinery row, where
many displays are lacking, be-
cause Of the decision of some of
the biggest exhibitors to leave
out the fairs this year.
Canova Was There
The town of Canova has prob
ably broken all records for South
Dakota towns in it's attendance
on Monday, arriving 500 strong
with its we'll known band. When
Canova set out to take 500 people
to the fair the fact that the pop
ulation of the town is only 300
was allowed in no manner to
discourage the boosters of that
place, who secured enough peo-
pie from the surrounding coun-
try to make up the desired num-
Der. They closed up the town,
literally and not figuratively,
Monday morning and all came
with their 200 recruits to the
fair.
Pure Food Law Enforced
The state pure food depart
ment is vigorously enforcing the
law which provides that all re-
freshment stands must be screen
ed in and the eatables sold COW
cred that no flies can reach them.
Every booth and stand, both on
the grounds and in town, is en-
closed, and probably for the first
time in the history of the state
absolutely iy-less dog and other
delicacies.
The Auto Races
Records for the state were es-
tablished in the auto race meet.
The one mile was won by Rain
ey in 1:O7l2 and the three mile
by Hearne in Alp.
Disbrow' exhibition against
time for one mile was LIP.
In the five mile standing start,
Rainey won in 6:l4.
The two mile novelty went to
DisbroW in 2::34.
The two mile speed went to
DisbroW in 2:1S. eight seconds
faster than won the previous
South Dakota Record.
The five mile Disbrow took in
1853.
Talk of Speedway
All races were on the half mile
track. There is much talk of
building a two mile speedway on
the fair grounds and this will be
decided later if popular demand
warrants it. The track was in
excellent condition Monday.
There was $3.50 in purses for
Tuesday and $4,000 for Wednes.

held Wednesday and Thursday.

Reports coming &c Anderson yester-
day from Pelzer were to the effect
that a negro named Will Freeman was

opinion is that the white people put
the negro to death; although another

and wreaked their vengeance in that
manner. However, Freeman has moi
been seen since Sunday night and this
in connection with the fact that many
