Small grain in this part of the
country will not be as good as ex-
pected in the spring. Perhaps
wheat will yield from 10 to, Is bu-
shells to the acre. Oats will go in
proportion. Corn has a good
stand, but needs moisture badly.
While we had plenty of rains this
spring, yet they were not general.
The subsoil is very dry owing to
several successive dry years and
very little snow in the winter. 1t
is the subsoil that needs some
heavy rains to put it in shape.
The dry condition of the subsoil
is proved by the fact that wells
are gradually drying out. J..

The Indian who resented the
suggestion of the Yankton papers
that the little Indian blood in
Bowman is responsible for his hor-
rible deed is right. This young
educated Indian of Wagner who
knows the family tree of Bowman
points out that it is rather the
white blood in him responsible for
the tragedy. And so it is. If an
Indian commits a foul deed ma
turally, of course it is the Indian
blood in him that made him cri-
minal. Luckily for the Indian
this same rule works not only
both ways, but in all directions.
If an Englishman or German or
Frenchnan commits some out
rage it is always his blood respon-
sible for the deed. Bowman be-
ing quarter breed, has more
White blood in him which is res
ponsible for the deed or perhaps
not so much the blood as booze.
There have been complaints re-
gistered in regard to people who
have town water on their proper
ty, and use it necessarily in water
ing their lawns. The marshal in
forms US that he has notified these
people to cut down the use of it,
but it seems that no attention is
paid to this. And the result is
this: that it is impossible for the
marshal to keep the tank full.
This will result in further damage
insofar as the tank, being empty
part of the time, will dry up and
leak. This complaint is justified
under the simple fact that while
the annual rental for private
houses is $3.50 per year it costs
the town $50 to furnish water for
individuals. Something must be
done in this matter; either meters
will have to be put in or the rent
al of water for watering lawns dis
continued, unless the rental is in
creased to about $50 per annum
instead of $3.50. 1t is a poor
business principle to furnish an
article at a great loss. The other
people who have no town water,
| in this particular case, are footing
the bill and this is On injustice to
them.

Trying to DO Too Much.

Many business men are coming to
the conclusion that they would accom-
plish more If they attempted less. Life
is becoming oyercrowded. A success.
sion of little things fill the time that
could more wisely be used for the con.
temptation of great tasks and the con.
temptation of lofty purposes. To sim.
plify IS to strengthen. Life is more
than a mere round OF engagements; it
is a conscious enjoyment and employ.
ment of the spirits highest capacities.
