There has been a change of train
service west of the Missouri on this
line of the Northwestern. For several
years the night trains have crossed
the river, while the day trains stop
ped at Pierre, but beginning with
Monday this was changed and now the
day train west goes through to Rapid
City and return leaves Rapid City for
the east In the morning. The sleeper
on the train going west in the even
ing will be continued as far as Pierre,
returning on the forenoon train. One

HENDRICKS

From the Pioneer:
Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Holmlund are
visiting at Candy this week. Mr..
Holmlund is unable to do any work
owing to his right foot having been
injured nearly a couple of weeks ago.
He climbed up and stood on the joists
to put a belt connected with the trip
hammer onto a pulley. The right leg
of the trousers got caught between
the belt and the pulley, after which
there was a general mixup. Louis
Ch~ristianson stopped the engine and
when Pete came down from the RAT
tiers he didn't have enough clothes
left on him to flag a rabbit. He had
Robinson Crusoe skinned to a frazzle.
His shoes, part Of a shirt and a strip
Of his ~overalls were all that remained
clinging to him. Even his socks were
pulled out Of his shoes. His right foot
and ankle were bruised and sprained
badly and will cause him trouble for
an indefinite time.

der the direction of DR.. Donald B. Arm

object of which was to determine
specifically the effect Of the fly upon
the death rate of a community.
An area of two city blocks. inhabited
solidly by Italians and characterized
by a high infant death rate was select
ed for the experiment. In one a rigid
anti-6y campaign was enforced; the
other was left unprotected. In the
former only twenty cases Of summer
complaint" OF Fly complaint" occur
rued. while in the unprotected block
there we're sixty cases-three times as
many. The deaths, with three excep-
lions, occurred among the children I'M
der Ave years of age. The association
urged householders to cleanse every

THE CROW'S-NEST

How quick ones spirits respond to
sunshiny weather after a long seige Of
gloomy and cloudy days. The people
IN the streets smile as they pass b.
and greetings are more cordial when
you stop to give and receive a hearty
handshake. In a few days we shall
hear that the crops are all right and
all's well in the world. We have the
promise that seed time and harvest
shall not fail" Remembering this
would save much worry in the gloom
lest of weather.
OF late years men have had no
reasonable grounds for inveighing
against the rapid changes of fashion
in women's apparel. Some of the
latter fashions may have been more or
less ridiculous but the male sex has
been running a close second in the
matter of trying to follow new fashions
in the clothing line. The young fell

How will incorrect wiring affect a
motor2
The effect of incorrect wiring IN the
motor depends on how the wires are
misplaced. For instance, II the high
tension cables were changed around 50
that no one Of them went to the right
plug 1t would be impossible to run he
motor, although an occasional explo-
sion might be obtained. If two or
three Of the high tension wires were
interchanged, but one or more were
left on the correct plugs, then the
motor would run on the cylinders
In which the latter were. Where a
dual system Is employed the wires OF
a battery system may sometimes be
misplaced without interfering with the
operation of the magnetic and vice
versa. AS a rule, however, the chang
Ing Of the wires will result in the
whole ignition system becoming mop
erative.

cavalry officer, played part. was re-

Madame Schumann-Heink and her
family spend most Of their winters

The romance began when the spir-

contralto at San Diego, Cal. Guy was
carried ntO the house, unconscious
and Miss Schumann-Ileink nursed him
back to halth,

went with her mother to Europe
There a year ago at Bayreuth, where
the mother was to appear at the Wag-

German, Lieutenant Won Mueller, and
became engaged to him. The soldier
was soon called to the front and the

country after various ViCissitudes.
The lieutenant was among the first to

speed of the train are what wear the

that goes, the required sOlidity OF the

He admitted that this might be in
error and stated that in his private
opinion the revenue tOn-mile would

values in some instances than the en-

Admitting this to be true the wit

not have a bearing on millions OF

he hardly thought it would affect the
valuations to that extent, but that a
niscalculation would doubtless affect
al subsequent calculations where

What Is a CoIlegc Boy worth? +?

That's a question nobody can an
sweT but we are able to tell some.
thing about how much he costs. Ac-
cOrding to figures given out by Wis
consin university it costs $211.65 to
give each student instruction for the
year. OF this amount, S149.05 falls
on the taxpayer, the rest being made
up of gifts, federal grants, and special
fees and funds of different kinds
In addition to this amount, of
course, the student must pay his
share of the eXpenses-board, clothes
and Incidentally which might easily
average more than $500 per year. II
another $500 be added for loss Of
time when the boy who is in school
might be earning money, we would
have over $500 per year, or 5000 for
a four-ycar term.
Well that's lot of money but 1t
ought to be a good investment At 6
per cent it would be less than $500 a
year, and even from a purely COM
mercial standpoint ii would probably
be found that college graduates aver
age more than 5000 year In earning
power above the young men who have
never been to college.
We have to pay taxes to support
the state universities, anyway, and
whenever we find it possible we
should send our children to the uni
versity. There are many rewards,
fuller and richer sves, and increased
service to the world, which cannot be
reckoned in dollars
A Chicago university professor says
it costs $4,000 to raise a child. Hav-
ing invested that much money in our
children. we might as well make the
gift TO the world complete by adding
a college education, where possible,

tate does find "A little less to divide

How 10 NdNcrli,e Your LINc slocI..


In the current issue of Farm and
Fircside contributor writes prac-
ucal article showing how live stock
should be advertised. Following is an
Interesting extract:
IN making photographs of a dairy
COW to bring out the qualities. FIRST
stand the animal on perfectly level
ground
"Do not put the front feet on lower
or higher ground than the hind feet.
Have the front feet placed well to-
gcther and squarely under the body
"Haye the hind feet so placed that
the leg on the side next the camera
will be stretched back I'm such way
that a large part Of the udder is
plainly seen.
"r hen hold the camera just a little
back Of the center so that you get
three quarters view with the rear OF
the animal a little closer TO the cam
era than the head. This Will not only
emphasize the development of the I'D
der by bringing it more nearly INTO
the foreground, but Will also cmpha-
size the dairy type, the wedge shape.
THE photograph Of "a good COW is
more attractive in an advertisement
for dairy stock than the photograph
OF a bull This is not merely a mat
ter Of theory, but has been proved
again and again by dairy advertisers
who have used photographs of both in
their advertising matter
In selling heifers it has always
been found that the ad which con
tanned a photograph of one OF the
dams made more sales than one con
tanning the photograph OF the sire
Perhaps the reason for this is that
the average dairyman is looking at
the animal from the standpoint Of
milk production, and ne sees more
tangible indications in the female
than in the male
