THE DEATH OFTHE
OLDfYEAR

Miserere! Toll the bell.
Let the earth send forth a knell.
For a great soul takes his flight
None knows whittier, in the night
Misererei
Stretched upon his snowy bier,
Dying, lies the good old year,
And upon the midnight gale sf'
All may hear his parting wall
Aiserere!
In the old kings checkered reign
There were mingled Joy and pain;
Friends proved false. while foes were
true,
Sinners many. saints a few
Mlsererel
There were hearts that suffered wrong,
Bore It bravety and were strong;
Hearts there were so black within
Satan wondered at their sin
Misererel
Carriers fun OF fruitful store,
Measures pressed and running DER;
Famine in the streets at night,
Doing deeds too dark for light
Miserere'
Rang the church bells for the wed:
Tolled they also for the dead
In one home a 10y was born;
From another Joy WAS torn
MiSerere'
Such earth's sorrow. such its sin.
All must end where they begin
Snow which wraps the New Years feet
Is the old years winding sheet
Miserere'
Now his spirit gOeth fast;
Midnight hour will he his last
Toyour knees earth worn and weary
Miserere Miserere,

thereare some dangers; as follows;
! (1) Some counties will have no
program for educational advance

! (2) Organisation Of rural life

Farm demonstrators, County Super

more are being Neutrality-suspicious.

culum there is heing developed the
new attitude. Education is not to
keep people out Of work. hut to fit
them better for doing all kinds of
work, If we fail to establish and
maintain stro z High schools in
each county, then we shall fail to be
able to develop the well.roundt d
character which must be formed in
a system which centers about the
practical High School.

the State Normal School then for
two years for all Elementary teachers !
and (4) the State University four |
years for all High School teachers. |
In this scheme all are established |
under the State law except the High
School, and this is the most import
ant. II the State plAR is sound,
then each part should be stressed as

Forces are gathering to organise

The only problem then
or the permanent agency, the
County High School. is to make the
ocal school an effective instrument
or the constant up-building OF the
community life. To do this, we
must have definite program, which
will combine the efforts Of farmers,
teachers, farm demon
'trators. extension workers Of the
National Agriculture and Of the
State Agriculture. SO that with prop

that cou d have been done during
the winter months but the time
was wasted, and when every moment
was valuable for stirring the soil
something else had to be done, Be-
I re the, ground was plowed it either
got too dry and hard or there was
80 much wet weather a good seed
bed could not he prepared, or some
of the land was left cut.
The farmer was behind all the
time. He was behind in cultivat-
ing aud poor crop resulted; all
from putting OF until tomorrow
what could and should be done to-
day and failing to do the many
things during the winter months
getting everything ready for the
growing season
When you find such a farmer. if
you will examine his barnyard you
will see manure gong to waste and
he will be buving commercial terti
lizprs to boost his crop and using it
on Improperly prepared ground that
no matter how rich in plant food,
the fertilizer could not produce re-
srls because the soil was not in
COZ dition to make the plant food
available.
There is no vocation that will re-
turn no much for 50 little intelligent
eff"rt as farming At the same
time there is no vocation that will
pay as good dividends as farming
where it is given the same intelli
gen direction and energy necessary
in olt or vacations from successful
OprraEOH.
Now, Brother Farmer, you know
that We have too many farms run
as | have pictured. You know that
We, as farmers, in too ma Y cases
have too little regard for the value
of time. We put off VI til tomorrow
because we think We will have plenty
of time, but " hen a day passes We
can never recall it. Every day has
it. duties and its value. and when
we neglect the duties of today il
MEANS a day lest, for tomorrow has
its duties and cannot be neglected
for the du les of TODAY.
The CALLED hillsides, the grown
up and neglected fields. delapidated
buildings are all evidence Of wasted
lime and neglected opportunities.
Brother farmer, We have the wiz.
er before US. Let us make up our
minds when spring comes with it's
'ush OF work that we will be ready
or it; that we will not hare to stop
he work we should be doing to at
end to something we could have
.ttended to during the winter.
Let US realize that wasted time is
wasted opportunity, and wasted op.

,ur families out OF comforts and
that we can have il we
appreciate the value of time and
profit by the opportunities that are
n our reach if we have the capacity
o grasp them when they come.

GOOD ROADS
ID. WARD KING LECTURED AT
THE OPERA HOUSE THIS
AFTERNOON.

d. Ward King, the good roads lee
turer, arrived by the west train this
morning and was entertained during
the day by Sec'y Martin Of the Com
mercial club. At 2 p. m, an audience
which fairly filled the opera house
assembled to listen to the lecture on
good roads. The audience was made
up of farmers, business men and q
large number of students of the city,
both young ladies and gentlemen.
The speaker opened his address with
a pleasant sketch of his experience at
farming in his young manhood and
then took up his subject of road
building without money. This led
to a discussion of the split log road
drag process of road building which
has made the inventor, Mr.. King.
famous as a road builder throughout
the country. The discourse was not
only i~structive but interesting. At
the close Of the lecture Mr.. King did
some demonstration work in East
Fourth street, adjoining Library park
on the south.
Mr.. King is making a lecturing
tour in South Dakota, having deliver
ed addresses at various points in the
state. At Yankton so highly pleased
were the good roads enthusiasts with
his lecture that he vas invited to de-
liver a second lecture and will again
visit that city next week for the pur-
pose.
