corning the posture, time, place and
forms OF PRAYER. 1t IL clear from in
stances recorded In the Scriptures that
position Of kneeling. standing and
lying down, SO it may be said that
the only posture which is wrong in
prayer Is imposture."
AS to times and places, the Masters
words to the woman at the well make
II clear that PRAYER IS appropriate at
any time and anywhere
Neither in this mountain, nor In
Jerusalem shall We worship the Father
when the true worshipers shall worship
the Father In spirit and truth"
Prayer in the church Is a necessary
part of stated worship. but prayer every
where and anywhere is a necessary part
Of the Christians life.

A prayer Of words alone
For words without the heart.

Ipswich, Aug. Ill. Zahala, a
,enter farmer on the C. N. Harris
farm four miles south of Ipswich,
committed suicide by taking carbolic
lcid. Dependency was the cause. A
series of misfortunes, during which
he lost a fine farm in North Dakota

caused him TO change from a cheer
Jul, optimistic individual to n who
continually brooded over his ill fate.
On the morning of the suicide. he
and his wife visited his wheat field
and he complained bitterly that it
was not as he expected and that he
vas losing money. He told his wife
he was going to the house to kill
himself, but she thought little of the
threat until she went to call him at
Inner time. He could not be found
and a search revealed him lying dead

HDID-Ip MEN
LaborerS Are Robbed of Small
Amounts at Mellette.

Mellette, Aug. 1.-Two hold-up
men held up ten laborers here at the
point of their guns and made the
laborers produce" Four laborers
were sleeping in a boxcar on the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis road when
two masked men, carrying revolvers
and torehlights, appeared and order
ed them TO hold up their hands. The
men were searched and S1.75 taken
from one man, another had but a
dime, which the robbers told him TO
keep, and the other two had nothing.
From the boxcar the robbers went to
an adjoining grain field, where one
man was robbed of SIS and another
of 25 cents and a watch. Making
their two victims accompany them,
the hold-up artists visited a nearby
jungle fire and rounded up four more
men. One of them had 25 cents and
another had IS cents, which the rob
Oers took. The other two were
broke, and the robbers gave 25 cents
to ms Of them. The seXtette was
then escorted to the boxcar where
the original robbery took place, and
were told to go into the a and go
to sleep. They obeyed orders and
the robbers escaped.

Game Warden Busy Distributing Fish
About the State.

Pierre, Aug. 11.-State Game War
den Herrick, who has been making
his headquarters at Waubay for sew
eral weeks, was in the office for a
short time today and reports that the
department is busy attempting to fill
the orders for fish which come from
those who desire to stock ponds on
their places. Up TO the present the
shipments have been principally of
perch and bullheads, but they are
now beginning to get a few bass.
There is a heavy demand and the
work will be continued for several
weeks.
Though official reports have not
yet been fully secured from over the
state, the increase OF the beautiful
Chinese ~pheasants imported in South
Dakota last year distributed in pairs
over the state at the time of the fair
al Huron has apparently resulted in
hocks of the pheasants being scatter
ed over the entire state. Some skep-
tical persons at first believed that
the p~heasants would not winter sue
c~essfully in South Dakota. and 9th
ers thought the long plumage of the
birds would make them easier prey
to coyotes, but both these a%pprehen-
sions have evidently been groundless.
After a few more years of increase
they will make excellent hunting.

SOUTH DAKOTA UNIVERSITY
Changes i'm the Faculty for the En-
suing Year.

Vermillion, Aug. 11.-There are
several important changes in the fac
ulty of the University of South Da-
kota for the coming year. and rs a
whole it will be M of the strongest
groups of educators ever connected
with the institution. The department
of education, under Prof. Wallace
Franklin Jones. has grown to such
an extent that it has been found ad-
visable to secure two assistants. +.
F. Schaeffer, formerly superintendent
of the Langford public schools. will
have several classes in this depart
ment. Mr.. Schaeffer has had special
work along his line in the univer-
stiles of Chicago and Wisconsin and
is well qualified for the new position.
The other assistant, who has not been
definitely decided upon, will be a
specialist in elementary education
and will also act as the critic teacher
in the public schools in this city.
e. v. Mitchell of Boston will sue
coed j. f. Brumbaugh, resigned, In
the college of law. Mr.. Mitchell was
graduated from Boston University
law school in 1912 and since tina,
time has been a practicing lawyer in
that city. He is the author of The
Doctor in Court, and comes to the
university highly recommended. H
K. Wolfe of Bloomington. Ind. will
be the new instructor in mathematics
to take the place of X. w. Lamson
resigned. Mr.. Wolfe was teaching
fellow in the department OF mathe,

Success certainly did not attend
the efforts of the meeting to reduce
the number of senatorial candidates.
II. L. Loueks will file at once in the
Independent column, and r. E. Dow
dell will remain the bull moose can
didate. Mr.. Loucks expects support
from the farmers of all parties and
from others, and Dowdell looks for
good democratic support.
The defeat of Burke and Byrne are
the two objects of the progressive
party, and while the senatorial situa-
ton remains unchanged, they feel
that in the race for governor things
look better. No move was made BY
the meeting TO fill the vacancy on
their ticket for governor, Geo. w.
Wright of Huron not accepting the
nomination rendered him by the ex-
ecutiye committee and nominee of
the convention declining TO make the
run. The p~rogressives here express
ed themselves favorably to the can
didacy of Il. o. Richards of Huron,
and it is stated that many of the
party will vote for him i'm preference
TO Byrne, their chief object being the
defeat of the present executive. That
Richards will also command a good
democratic vote is also expected.

SEPTEMBER 10TH
Is the Opening Day of the Hunting
Season i'm South Dakota.

Sioux Falls. Aug. Ill will
prosecute to the full extent of the
law any ase of hunting prior to Sep
TENDER 10 that comes to my knowl-
edge" The above is the statement
of State Game Warden Hedrick when
his attention was called to the fact
that some of the hunters in the Sioux
Falls section. as well as the other
parts of the state, had announced
that they would hunt on the 7th, as
that is the date which the govern
ment sets for the open season.
w. III. Heiss, jr., of this city in a
desire to get set Alright as to just
when the hunting season legally
opened in South Dakota, wrote Mr..
Hedrick and received the following
reply:
Il am in receipt of your favor of
the Sd inst, and note your inquiry
as 10 the position which this depart
ment expects TO take this fall with
reference to the difference between
the federal and the state game laws.
I'm this connection, would say that
the federal law for the protection OF
migratory birds relates entirely to
closed seasons Under these regula-
tons the hunting of waterfowl is pro-
hibited between the LIST of December
and the 7th of September, while the
state law prohibits the hunting of
same between the 10th of April and
the 10th of September; thus ii will
be seen that the only open season on
waterfowl in this state is between
the 10th of September and the LIST of
December, since that is the only
period during which the hunting of
same is permitted by both the state
and federal laws. The enforcement
of the federal law is of course in the
hands of the federal officers. but this
department expects to at all times
enforce the provisions of the state
game law as it now stands on our
statute books. and we expect to pros
ecute every violation of the game law
that is committed or the 7th, 9Th
and 9th of September that we are
able to secure the evidence on.
For your further information, ]
am sending you on same mail, under
separate cover. a copy of the game
and fish laws of the state. in the back
part of which you will find the fed
eral regulations herein referred to-
