MILLION Y.
IN SCHOOL FUND
SALE OF 455,95G ACRES OF.
SCHOOL LANDS BROUGHT
THIS AMOUNT.

Pierre, S, D.-The report of State
Land Commissioner, G. H. Hopper
lee, shows that the state school fund
at the present time is almost eleven
million dollars, all drawing inter
est at five and six PCT cent. This
amount was secured from the sale
of 455,956 acres of school lands.
On the basis of valuation fixed by
the state tax commission in the diff
.ferent counties of the state where
the remaining state school lands are
located, the land yet remaining is
worth over forty-fve million dollars
to the state.
Mr.. Hepperlee asks for a consti-
tutional amendment allowing long
term leases, extending twenty or
twenty-five years, with re-appraise-
ment every five years, which he be-
lieyes would bring a greater lease
revenue to the fund.
He recommends early sales Of a
large amount of the state lands in
Harding county, for the reason that
the tstates'now holds $4,000 acres
of common school and endowment
lands in that county, which as long
as it is held by the state is not sub
tject to taxation, and the residents Of
that county secure no revenue from
Esuch land, other than that of person
al taxes from cattle grazed on the
leased tracts.
He asks for amendments of the
law in relation to sales of timber
feeling that the interests IF the state
as we'll as of the forests will be bss'
conserved by allowing sales in larger
volume and with longer time fol
tcutting, the same. He also advances
the theory that the game preserve
for perpetuation of large game il
the forest reserve of the state viii
make it n of the show places o.
the United States in future years.

Cincinnati to carry out the sentence
Imposed upon a freshman Tor vio-
lating the rules, as far as they per
tain to freshmen humbling them
selves to the seniors.
Karl Keck, freshman, was In
court accused of wearing asderby
hat in lieu of the regulation cap
designated as the headgear of all
freshmen.
Keck was wearing his overcoat at
the trial, and when commanded to
discard 1t, he refused, pleading that
he had a cold. He was then told to
stick out his tongue and the manner
In which he did II caused another
charge to be registered against him.
Pat Lyons, foreman of the jury
decided that Keck be spanked with
barrel slaves, and it developed that
Keck, anticipating this, had placed

COUNTY SALARY
PROBLEM is UP
ACTION STARTED IN MELLETTE
TO FIX BASIS OF PAYMENT
UNDER LAW.

White River, S. D.-Mellette
county a organized in May, 1910
and the county commissioners fixed
many of the salaries at about 500
per month for 10 months, until jan
uary 1913, when the salaries were re-
duced to about $50 per month, ac-
|cording to the law fixing same.
During the past two years suits
have been threatened to recover the
money paid in excess salaries but
nothing definite was done in the
matter until States Attorney C. p.
kell made a written demand for the
return of all money received in eX-
cess of the amount allowed by law
and this week served a summons and
complaint on each. of the above nam
ed officers, thus beginning an action
in the circuit court to recover from
$24O to $1,000 from each officer
named.
1t is claimed that the salaries are
fixed by act of the legislature and
that said salaries should be determ-
ined by either the population or as
sessed valuation or both. The de-
PENDANTS claim that no census nor
valuation was accessible at the time
that their salaries were fixed and
that the county commissioners had
ia right to fix a reasonable salary for
the services performed.
The outcome OF this case will be
watched with interest, as it will prob
ably determine the. action in many
other new counties, among them
Trip, Gregory and Bennett count
lies.

Vermillion, S. D.-The seventh an

weekly convccation held in the mora
ing. In the evening appropriate OK
ercises we're held in the armory af-
ter which several hours social good
time took place.
DR.. Best's subject, 1.-THE New
Heaven and the New Earth was
one of the most stirring addresses
ever given from a local platform.
He said in part: lone of the great
est problems that our young men and
women have to solyefoday is wheth-
or this age a produce real man
hood to carry en-, build up. and amS
plify the ideals of our forefathers

Our young people live in marked
contrast to the rigorous life and
hardships their parents had te- UNI
dergo and this must be changed If
we are to keep pace with the splend-
i'd achievements of the past. There
is a strong relation between the Gull
ture and 1.-THE service of the life of
this new heaven and new earth and
the time will shortly come when a
mar will be called vulgar who mere
" lives. a life of ease, instead of
helping to solve the great problems
that await us on all sides"
