patch of cab bage of about five
acres near US that is up about a
foot high and looks green and is
growing fine. This will make a
great country in a few years.
Land is raising in price very fast.
Farmers are beginning to set out
large orchards of figs; peaches
also do fine here; have also seen
some nice orange trees and fe "
banana trees We can grow any
thing that we plant. have seen
grape vines that were planted
last spring that have made a
growth of 25 feet during the sea-
son. The cou ntry is very level
and will make nice looking

we have plenty of rain, which l
think is away ahead of an irriga-

South Dakota Corn and Grain
Growers Association and the
Annual Corn and Grain Show
and School conducted Herewith,

men and Horticulturalists, have
all arranged to meet in Mitchell.

ter, are arranged as union meet
ings.
On Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons the Corn Growers
will suspend their program en-
tirely SO that everyone can at
tend the Live Stock sale at the
Pavilion.
This is to be big meeting,
and a most fortunate chance for
every real farmer in South Dak-
ota to see every other real farmer
and to see and hear the big peo-
pie OF Agriculture. You have
heard of Hopkins and Sam Jor
dan. Barring sickness or acci-
dent. they will absolutely be on
the platform, according to the
program.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 12.-At the

committee of the whole, q plank
was introduced as follows: I'VE
favor national restriction and
control OF importation, produc.

Under the new primary law,
there was no way that this plank
could be referred to a committee
on resolutions or in any way
side-tracked. 1t. therefore, had
to be threshed out in the open
on the floor of the Senate Cham

making and excitement, it finally
passed with about 5000 votes
majority and was adopted as
part of the Republican minority
platform of this state, pledging
the proposed candidates for U.
S. Senator and Congressman, if
nominated and elected, to work
for same or be subject to party
recall, which declaration they
have to execute in writing under
the Richards primary law.
South Dakota is the first state
in the Union which proposes to
send an entire congressional
delegation to Washington bound
by party recall to government
distribution of any form of alco-
hOl. Promoters of the plank say
that this is a better shape up for
practical results in temperance
than has been accomplished in
this state for 20 years.
National government control
of distribution Of any kind of
alcohol means that commercial
ism will ultimately be stamped
out in the dis tribution of that
product.

Heart Disease On his Enxino

The daily papers of the 10th
announced the death of Geo, S.
Ferry, one of the old engineers
on the Milwaukee line, and a
resident of Mllbank during the
eight ses, all of the old residents
in Milbank remembering him
we'll. Perry had been in the en-.
gine cab on the Milwaukee road
Tor over forty years. After
leaying Milbank he ran for q
number of years between Aber.
deem and Mitchell, and later took
= rum out of Seattle when the
Milwaukee entered that city.
The dispatch says:
Death occurred soon after
Perry had won a race against a
train on a rival raod which paral-
lels the Milwaukee's tracks near
Easton, just before the roads be-
gin to climb the steep grade up
the east alone of the Cascade
OuHJdlnS.
After Perry's train had passed
its rival and had gone through
Easton at full speed. w. A. Hol.
ton, the fireman, saw that the
engineer was dead HOltOn
drove the train to Laconia on the
west slope of the range, where
another engineer took charge.
Perry was one of the oldest
men in the employ of the road,
having been in the cab more than
forty years. In all that time he
had never figured in a wreck.
He was 63 years old yesterday
and his frieuds had planned a
surprise party for his home
coming Many of them did not
know of his death until they
went last night to the railway
station to accompany him home
to the birthday festivities.

Wholesome Talk to Seheol 0neerr.

State Superintendent Law
renee gave q very interesting
and practical talk to about 200
school officers and others at the
annual meeting of school officers
at the court house yesterday af-
cernOon. The superintendent
stated that he was glad to see
that the corn contests under the
direction Of Prof. Souder, were
proving grand success, and
tending to bring education along
practical lines and along lines in
which the boys were interested.
He said that he was here to Gre
ate public sentiment that would
result In better educational ad-
vantages for the childhood Of the
country districts; every child
was entitled to the advantages of
securing a good 9Th grade edu-
cation without having to leave
home, and that the consolidate d
school for grades aud the secur-
ing of trained teachers will re-
suit in this being brought about.
The problem of securing compe-
tent teachers would be greatly
helped by the addition of . nor
NAL course to the high schools of
Of the county seats, the schools
to receive state aid for this work
The superintendent's talk was
along improved lines for the
common schools, as it was in
these schools that the great mass
of the people would get all of the
education that they would ever
receive.
