usual interest, for the reason that
among the important cases to be tried
will be that of the state against August
Juntunan, a farmer, who is charged
with the wanton Staying of his wife
and child some weeks ago.. Juntunan,
it is believed, will base his defense on
the ground of insanity. There will be
a large amount of testimony and ii

Lyons, a farm hand, who, as the result
of recently running amuck in a farm

tent to commit robbery. He attempted
to hold up and rob an aged farmer and
his wife, and then stole a horse and
attempted to make his way out of the
country, being captured after an excit-

brought to Brookings to appear before
Judge Sherwood with the expectation
that he would plead guilty, but he re-
fused to do so and was taken back to
C~astlewood for trial.

NATIONAL AID
FOR AGRICULTURE
SMITH-LEvER BILL PASSES BOTH
HOUSES OF CONGRESS AND
is NOW A LAW
SOUTH DAKOTA MAY RECEIVE s49,440
Provided State Appropriates An Equal
Amount-Money Must Be Used for
College Extension Work

The Smith-Lever bill passed the
having passed the lower house
last month. This bill is of interest, as
IL grants substantial aid to all of the
states for the extension of agricultural
education, under the direction of the
agricultural colleges. South Dakota's
share, provided the legislature will
appropriate an equal amount, will be
S49,440.
The Minneapolis Journal through its
Washington bureau, explains the law
as follows:
THE Smith-Lever bill, which passed
the senate Saturday In substantially
the same form it passed the house
January 10, Is an important extension
of the national aid to agricultural col
leges. 1t is the largest donation Of
federal money t this purpose since
the Morrill, act of fifty years ago. which
began the aid to agricultural colleges.
This was afterwards supplemented
by the Hatch act, and still later, the
annual amounts appropriated under
the Morrill, act we're daubled under a
bill fathered by Senator Knute Nelson
of Minnesota.
"The Smith-Lever bill provides for
the annual appropriation at its maxi
mum of $4,000. 900 a year, in addition
to $4,000 separately given for pub
licity purposes under the act.
THE states are to appropriate an
equal amount before they can get the
national cash. The federal money Is
not to be used in the erection of build
ings, purchase of land or giving col
lege courses. but in extension work;
that is. giving instruction and practi-
cal demonstration In agriculture and
home economics to persons not regu-
larry enrolled in the college receiving
the money.
The work is to be carried on in
such a way as may be mutually agreed
upon between the secretary of agricul-
ture and the college receiving aid
under the act.
1.-THE states will benefit under this
bill in the ratio that their population
bears to the total rural population of
the country"

EDITORS M e e

The South Dakota Press Association
held its annual meeting at Aberdeen
on Thursday and Friday.
Several good addresses were given
the first day. H. b. Tysell, editor of
the Britton Journal, talked on the topic
Shall Country Newspapers Accept
Ads in Competition with Local Mer-
chants" Mr.. Tysell argued hat mer-
chants of small towns expect unlimit-
ed home loyalty from country news
papers, but in return get the bulk of
their printing done by their wholesale
houses at cost and refuse to advertise
themselves unless prodded to do SO
by outside competition. Mr.. Tysell
held that revenue from outside adver-
Users was necessary and perfectly
legitimate.
Mrs. L. R. Eastwood, editor of the
Watertown Herald, discussed Libel
Suits and Libel Laws" advocating
some legislative reform whereby at
torneys acting as plaintiffs in cases
against newspapers in libel actions
should be made to stand some liability
instead of being permitted to start
such actions without any cost to them
selves. She advocated reform whereby
the newspaper fraternity should get
more justice from courts, and she de-
nounced the courts soundly for actions
in certain cases recently brought in
this state. She also denounced the
fact that actions could be brought
against newspapers by simply printing
court records in cases on file. She
quoted a recent Montana ase to bring
out her point in the last contention.
The following officers were elected:
President, w. c. Lusk of the Yank-
ton Press and DakotaH.
First vice-president, /. u. Aldrich, of
the Big Stone Headlight.
Second vico-president, Paul butcher
of the Brookings Register.
Secretary-treasurer, j. F. Halliday
of the Iroquois Chief.
Executive committee, Mana E. Gal
bert of the Salem Pioneer Register,
T.. B.. Yule of the Alexandria Herald
and George Schlosser of Sioux Falls.
A change was made in the constitu-
ton, providing for the subdividing of
the state into districts, each district
of the association to hold an annual
meeting. This was done for the pur-
pose of getting editors into closer
touch with each other, it being impos-
sible for all to attend the state meet
ings on account of the great distance
ing districts was left to the executive
committee.
A telegram of coincidence was sent
Mrs. George d. Perkins, wife of the
late editor of the Sioux City Journal
as follows:
1.-THE South Dakota Press Associa-
ton, here assembled, individually n
collectively, with deepest regret learns
of the death of your husband. He was
personally known and loved by many
of us for his great worth in character,
talent and manly graces."
Resolutions were adopted by the as
ISOLATION recommending a careful o n
sideration of the libel laws of the state
to the executive committee, with the
view Of securing favorable legislation
at the next legislature.
The association also favored a bill,
now pending before congress, permit
ting newspapers to make contracts
with railroads for advertising to be

SCHOOL HOUSE E
INSTITUTE HELD
FIRST INSTITUTE OF THE KIND
HELD NORTH OF THE CITY
ON SATURDAY
A SUCCESS IN SPITE OF BAD WEATHER
President Sherwin Of Institute Asso-
citation is in Charge, and He is
Pleased With Its Success

The first of the school house insti-
tutes under the direction of the Brook
ings County Farmers Institute Asso-
citation was held at the Sheldon school
house north of town on Saturday, and
was very much of a success in spite
of the bad weather. In discussing the
institute with President Sherwin of
the institute association he said:
1--WE had a very enthusiastic and
interesting institute in spite of the
very cold and bad weather. A splen-
did display of corn both yellow and
white were brought in and at noon
the ladies served a bountiful lunch,
and the hour was a social treat for all.
AT eleven a. m. Prof. Hume gave
a good talk on corn and corn judging,
bringing out the point that the more
perfect the corn grown according to
the score card, the better the yield.
after lunch Prof. Larsen in his
happy style spoke on the Dairy Cow
and Her Feed bringing out a good
many questions and quite an interest.
ing discussion. The professor is a
friend Of the silo, first, last and all the
time.
1.-THE only time the professor was
known to have cold feet was on this
occasion, and this would not have been
serious had the stove been large
enough to have warmed both of the
professors feet at the same time.
81 gave a short talk on the posi-
bilities Of the corn crop in Brookings
county, and at five p. m. the meeting
broke up.
"Mr. Killing was very kind to trans
port the speakers to and from the
meeting with his two-seated carriage
and spar of sorrel drivers.
miss Fromme from the college, was
booked for this meeting, but she too
got cold feet, and decided it best not
to expose herself to the very cold
weather. and it proved out later that
she was altogether right.
at is very much hoped that these
school house institutes will become
popular and they should become pop
ular because more good points are
brought out, better discussions are
had and more benefit is derived than
from the larger meetings.
What is expected to be the biggest
and best farmers institute ever held
in Brookings county will take place
February 24~-25-26-27-2S, and the man
agement are expecting to benefit each
farmer who attends all meetings at
least a thousand dollars. A grand
revolution is surely coming to the
farmer Of South Dakota. Brookings
county must not be in the rear of the
procession. Let us all pull together"
