LAWN OF CAPITOL
Contractors Begin Work On a New
Scheme of Landscape Gar
dening.

Pierre, April 29.-Actual planting
of trees and shrubs OIL the capitol
lawn began this week. The plan in
wolves native trees OF South Dakota
and shrubs which have given proven
satisfaction in this climate, chiefly,
and the arrangement is very effective,
having groups Of trees and shrubs,
according to coloring of green, in
very natural placement, with no rows
of trees in formal lines. Black Hills
blue spruce, ash, elm, etc, are the
varieties chosen. From views of 9TH
er capitol grounds on file here it is
very evident South Dakota's grounds
will be the most beautiful Of all, no
others having a natural lake, and
large expanse Of territory. including
a real ravine which gives South Da-
kota the opportunity for the lake on
the east end of the grounds. In two
years the present planting OF trees
with the special care they will receive
will give the finished appearance OF
the estate which will make it a most
slightly and decorative setting for the
building. The wide expanse of green
lawn surrounding the building and
the lake, and the island in the center
OF the water, have been in existence
for several years.

Governor of Reserve Bank Board
Tells How the New System
Works.

Muskogee, Okla, April 29.-The
country is smiling with prosperity as
as result of the federal reserve bank
act, and as the system grows older
the smile will grow into a laugh, ac-
cording to Charles H.. Hamlin, gov
ernor of the federal reserve bank
board, who spoke before the south
ern congress here.
I'm time of financial stringency a
farmer deserving OF credit can get
it," Mr.. Hamlin said. 1--WE have a
real elastic, real liquid currency. The
federal reserve board is empowered
at such times to put out enormous
sums, sufficient to dispute any idea
OF panic. and a panic such as that

GIANT TORTOISE CAPTURED
Famous Sea Cow Captured OF ths
Coast of San Salvator-With
Yankee Robinson.

The sensation of the past winter in
the vicinity of the isle of San Saliva
tor, was the capture of a giant tor
toise, or sea COW, by a crew of the
Mallory boat line. The captain of
the crew made known his capture to
the officials at Tampa, Fla, and was
ordered to. bring his prize to that
point.
The Yankee Robinson Shows,
through its southern agent, Harvey
Hale, secured this attraction for the
coming season. Immediately after
the close of the present season the
tortoise will be sent TO the Bronx
ZOO in New York. where it will be
housed permanently.
The giant tortoise, in form resem-
bles the land mud turtle we are all
familiar with. OF course it is a giant
in size, over fifteen large men being
able to ride on it's back. 1t is vicious
and hard to handle. There has never
been a monster of this kind exhibited
in this country before.

Remedy Favored by County Superin-
tendents to Solve a Problem.

Pierre, April 29.-The general
consensus of opinion of the county
superintendent who attended the
meeting at this city. in their discus
sions of the country school situation,
is that ii suffered from a number of
reasons. chief among them, lack of
proper equipment, too many teachers,
small attendance of pupils, irregular
attendance and lack of school spirit
among patrons and pupils. 1t was
shown that i'm many instances
try schools are maintained with but
from four to six pupils, which means
employment of a number of teachers
for a very few pupils. Consolidation
of these smaller country schools was
advocated. and along with this W.
ment a closer correlation of school
life and occupations of the pupils, to
the end that the school training
should be in line with the immediate
field of activities of the pupils was
set forth as one of the needs Of the
situation.
Supt. Gibbs of Aurora county
thought these different objections
could be largely met through the
work of consolidated schools, and
pointed out the success of the work
in Plano district, Aurora county, as
an example of what can be done in
this direction.
Supt. Keo Klug of Turner county
on domestic science thought better
results can be obtained in the rural
schools without formal classwork, by
demonstrations of table manners, ex-
perience in preparing refreshments
and serving them, and the prepare
ton of warm lunches at the school
for the pupils, they doing the work
in this line themselves.
Agricultural extension work
through boys and girls clubs at the
schools was urged, with the giving
of prizes as an inducement for efforts
on the part of the children in this
line of work.

GOVERNOR BYRNE
Predicts a Bumper Crop and a Pros
porous Year i'm South Dakota.

Sioux Falls, April 29.-Gov. Frank
M. Byrne arrived in the city, accom-
panied by State Engineer Derr. The
governor is visiting the two state in
stitutions located in Sioux Falls and
familiarizing himself with conditions
therein.
The Sioux valley is a wonderful
section of country" said the govern
or, and Sioux Falls seems to be one
of the most enterprising and pros
porous towns in the country. The
state as a whole never had better
prospects for fine crops. The heavy
SHOWS of the winter put the soil in
excellent condition and recent rains
have added to the prospects. The
country all along the line from Pierre
to the eastern part of the state looks
fine. | think this is going to be one
of South Dakota's best years"
Senator Andrew Warwick of Sisse-
ton, chairman of the senate a%ppropri-
ations committee, was another arriv-
al. He met the governor and party
and all were taken for a drive about
the city by Speaker Chas. A. Chris
topherson.
Engineer Derr is going over plans
for improving the heating system at
the school for the deaf and for the
extensive wall to be built at the pen
itentiary. He will leave for Madison
to look over the outlet of the lake,
with a view to installing guards to
prevent the escape of the fine perch
with which the lake is stocked.
