ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ARRANGED FOR COMMENCE
OF THIRD DISTRICT COLLEGE.
Beginning Saturday Evening of This
Week and Closing Monday, May
%, After Successful Term.

The commencement exercises at
the Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical School will be an elabor-
ate affair this year. Nevertheless, as
teachers and students have hereto
fore invariably made a great success
of every undertaking, it goes without
saying that this years program will
be splendid from start to finish. To
begin with, there will be presented
on Saturday evening of this week,
beginning at $50 O'Clock, the drama
"Foust and Marguerite" a compost
ton by Goethe, one of the world
renowned dramatic poets. This
drama will be presented by students
of the school upon stage construct
ed and electric wired for the purpose
by the students. This platform con-
tains a thousand square feet of space
and the performance will be given in
the open air-a novelty which is sure
to be appreciated by the audience
and those who take part as well. The
light effects will be quite remarkable
and the drama will be interspersed
with appropriate music. In fact, the
whole presentation will be as near
like that of the metropolitan Grand
Opera Company as circumstances will
permit.
On Thursday night will be the an
nual sham battle with more than one
hundred soldiers in action. This has
become one of the events looked for
ward to each commencement with
great interest.

owner agrees that a cement walloW
for the hogs is very beneficial. No
dipping is required, and it is cheap,
everlasting structure. OF course,
where a farmer has cattle a cement
vat is very necessary. One of these
is also under construction. 1t seems,
in short, that we are getting ready
to raise stock in the proper and prof
liable way. Now let others follow.
Labor Saving Implements.
| am sorry to find that our farmers
are not using enough horsepower
to the man. We could save much
time and expense by using imple-
ments with which we can do from
two to three times the work with two
mules and one laborer as with one
man and one mule. In South Dakota
the average number of mules worked
by one man is seven, while we only
work on an average of IA mules
per man. The expense incurred in
making a crop is deducted from the
profits. There are only two men in
the county using the weeder on their
crops, four using the two-horse Guilt
vator, and six using the spring tooth
harrow. All these are labor savers,
and it would be very gratifying to
see more of them used. Of course
stumps are menace to these things,
but there are very few farmers who
haven't part of their land stumped.
The others will necessarily have to be
done by degrees. We will watch 9TH
er developments with great inter-
est. R. H. KENT, Agent.

On Sunday following the COM
mencement sermon by Rev. Jas. B.
Lawrence will be heard at Calvary
Episcopal church, the service be-
ginning at II o'clock.
On Monday, the 25th, at 1920
O'Clock, will be the commencement
program, beginning with the indus

demonstration work on the stage.
Here will be seen the fiery forge, the
ringing anvil, the wbirling lathe, as
we'll as concrete and brick laying,
carpenter work, milk testing, cream
separating, dressmaking and all
forms of work carried on at the col
lege shown before the audience. A
meal will be cooked and served. All
the machinery requiring power will
be driven by electricity made upon
the premises. The Third district col
lege has presented this innovation
for four previous years, and the pace
set here has now become the goals
OF the other schools in the state. 1t
is a popular occasion and attracts
many visitors. Following this dem
onstration work will be the COM
mencement address by Mr.. NJ. L.
Britain, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction. The days program
will be nicely leavened with appro-
PIRATE music.
People who are interested in thor
ough, practical work in farm life, as
we'll as a first-cIass education along
many special or technical lines,
should endeavor to attend one or all
of these occasions. Visitors are al
ways warmly welcomed and eniOya
bly, entertained at the Third District
College at Americas.

THAT CITIZENS OF
TERRELL AND CALHOUN
COUNTIES BUILD ONE.
BEGIN CANVASS FOR STOCK
Meetings in Interest of Proposed New
Road Have Been Held by Citizens
of Both Counties. Believed MOve-
ment Will Succeed.

For the past two weeks the bust
ness men of Terrell and Calhoun
counties have been interested in a
movement to build a railroad from
Dawson to Morgan, the county seat
of Calhoun. Two meetings have been
held at the Chamber of Commerce in
this city. which were attended by
prominent men from both counties,
and much preliminary work has been
done.
1t is proposed to build the line
from Morgan, crossing the creek at
some distance south of Cordray's
mill, and then on as near an air line
as is practicable to Dawson. A sur
vey, of course, would have to deter
mine where the line would go. But
the fact remains that it would tap
a splendid country that is now shut
off from this city and make it tribu-
tary. In addition to this it would
give railroad facilities and vast in
crease in real estate values to a part
of this county that is now without
transportation facilities.
At a meeting held in the Chamber
of Commerce here last Friday it was
decided to begin today (Friday) an
active canvass in an effort to raise
100000 in subscribed stock and
push the work with vigor.
The people in Dawson are very
much in earnest in this effort and are

AN EARLY ADJUSTMENT
OF AFFAIRS OF AMERICUS Ma
TIONAL BANK is EXPECTED.
An Approximate Estimate of the In
stitutiOnS Liabilities and Assets
Has Been Ascertained.

Has Been AScertained.
The Americas es-Recorder says
interesting and important develop
ments in the affairs of the Americas
National Bank this week are rather
expected, according to we'll anthem
ticated statements made yesterday
by parties interested and who, for
some time past, have expressed a de-
sire to bring about a speedy settle
ment with depositors and creditors
upon lines already suggested, the fed
eral authorities asserting thereto.
Such consent, it is said, will be
given from Washington, provided
former officials of the bank and those
interested with them can meet the
necessary requirements.
1t is understood that the auditing
of accounts has reached the point
at which the banks assets and liabil-
tiles can be ascertained, approx
mately, and that permission has come
from Washington granting authority
to parties desiring to adjust its af-
assets and liabilities.
With this end in view such exami-
nation, it is said, will be made to-
morrow. 1t will then be known
whether or not local parties will be
in position to wind up the banks af-
fairs instead of having officials. of
the comptroller of the currency do
it instead. The hope is expressed
that the local settlement plan, which
means the immediate payment of all
creditors in full, may be quickly con-
summated.
