Nature knows just what we need
to sharpen our appetites after the

Besides the usual steWs and sauces
there are many simple ways of seTV-

and it's not hard to prepare.
This is the recipe. Cut the stalks
in pieces 2 inches in length and pour

of sugar; mix sugar and fruit and
turn into buttered baking pan and

YOUTH HEADS BIG CONCERN
Youngster of Fourteen in Charge of Corporation Which Is We'll
 on Its Feet.

Russell Monbeck, a fourteen-year-old Dayton (O.) boy, is president of the Boys Box Furniture company, incor- porated under the laws of the state. It is a cooperative organization, num- bering among it's stockholders 2S boys ranging from ten to seventeen years.
 The company operates from 1 to 6 D. m. daily and the company products are chairs, music racks, piano benches, writing desks, flower boxes, bird boxes and other light articles, for which it finds a ready sale.
 The profits are divided up at the end of the year on basis of the num- Der of hours worked by each boy. Last year the 2S stockholders divided near ly 5000.
 The capital stock is one dollar a share. Some of the boys are anxious to buy more stock, but the rules of the company prohibit it.
 Young Monbeck has systematized the producing and selling ends of the business.-Cleveland Leader.

The aver age number on probation throughout the year was S.4S5 persons. There fore, the average per capita cost of a years probation was only S29.92. less than one-sixth of the average ex- pense for years imprisonment.

TRUE FRIEND OF GARDENERS
Toad Destroys Vast Amount of Insect Life and Should Be Afforded
 Ample Protection.

The dietary of toad contains 77 per cent of insects and the remainder is composed of spiders, crustacea and worms. Having an amazingly active tongue. he captures much of his food on the wing.
 There is every reason why farmers and gardeners should encourage and protect the toad. European gardeners often purchase toads, considering their vigilance in hunting insects well worth a trifling outlay.

the first instance of training young men at home for employment in the industry that is foremost in several of the Rocky mountain states.
 The plan of preparing the wools at Ely, New, and at Wamsutter, Daley's Ranch and Solon, Wyo., did not involve the use of labor in skirting the fleeces and in separating the Skirtings into first and second pieces and locks, as was done at Pioneer shed The f1eeces were carried from the shearing floor to tables in the wool room, where men who had had experience in warehouse grading removed the heavy tags, rolled each fleece, and assigned it to be baled under it's proper name. No bale con- tained fleeces of more than one grade. and no string was used. The weight of tags and locks amounted to about per cent of the total weight of the clip.
 Western Wool Graded.
 It was very apparent that the shorter wools, which are now so common in the western states, cannot be passed over tables for skirting and rolling nearly as satisfactorily as longer wools. They can. however, be graded to remove the necessity of opening the bales before they reach the mills. This work of preparing wool by improved methods was keenly watched by many of the wool growers in the surrounding country, and 1t is estimated that the entire cost of the experiment was fully paid by the lesson 1t furnished of the value of breeding sheep for better wool production. The flock masters often showed great surprise when. for the first time, they saw wool graded. and for the first time knew what grade of wool they actually produced. Here tofore most growers in reading market reports have been prone to note quota tions for the highest grade and value their clips accordingly.
 The wools graded and baled at Wamsutter shed were offered for sale by sealed bids on May 4, but because of the difference between buyers and growers ideas of values, no sales were
 
 wool was not general at that time, there could be no current quotations with which to compare the prices re- ceived for better prepared wools with those received for others of a similar character and quality put up in the old fashioned way. Of course this experi- ment this year will not suffice to an swer the question as to how far the western wool growers can profitably proceed in changing methods of pre- pairing wool. Some alterations or modi- fications of this years work may be suggested when these wools reach the mills. This years step, however, has been in the right direction. and wool producers throughout the United States will watch with interest to learn the prices received for this bet ter prepared wool.

After The Hall and Ready For a Collision
AUTO POLO AT STATE FAIR
Most Expensive Sport in the World to be Demonstrated at
South Dakota State Fair and Exposition
{ EVERY AFTERNOON AND EVENING"

Auto Polo, known as the most ex-
pensive sport in the world. will be
played at the 1915 South Dakota
State Fair and Exposition. Visitors
at the coming State Fair will see in
his game complete dare-deviltry and
abandon and a succession of sensa-

The games to be played here brought
forth some very startling facts re-
sarding the expense connected with
The presentation of the game. The
polo cars are entirely rebuilt from tip
10 toe in order to withstand their
rough usage, the original chassis re-
eeived from the factory being hardly
recognizable after 1t has passed
through the hands of the mechanics
who have devoted their time and
thought exclusively to the perfecting
Of the Auto Polo game.
The uncertainty and unlocked for
accidents of each and every game
naturally demands an enormous sup
ply of cars, extra parts and other
equipment. A small sized factory is
carted around the country from point
to point where these games are play
ed. During the last aso over l.

described in the following article ap-
pearing in Harper's Weekly: "The
machines dashed to and fro over the
green turf in astounding bursts of
speed, their erratic zgzag flight ac-
companied by rafting volleys of
barks, snaps and explosions, and the
skeleton steel cars darted here and
there with the venomous haste Of
hornets seeking a victim. The cars
dived after the ball, spun dizzily
around In their own length, fol-

stopped, jumped backward, lunged

came together again over the ball"

full games will be played. Those who
have already seen Auto Polo will well
come another opportunity of satisfy
ing their delight for sensational
thrills mingled with the most scien-
tifc handling of motor cars ever be-
fore witnessed In South Dakota.

they can fly only in circles, not in a

for which hundreds of requests were
received each week. According to

MACHINERY AT THE STATE FAIR

According to Secretary McIlvaine
never before have there been such
large reservations of space for the ex-
hibit of smaller machinery and es-
pecially that manufactured in the
west. Many acres of labor saving
devices will be on display. The most
noticeable increase will be the many
new small tractors which have ar
ranged for space and will give actual
demonstrations during State Fair
week.
The machinery and manufacturing
building which was open to the public
for the first time last year, has had
additional wiring put in for electrical
power purposes. The building has
also been completely enclosed so that
it is now wind and dust proof. In
this building during the week of the
State Fair will be held a stupendous
automobile show.
