The fact that seventeen counties
had reserved exhibition space for the
1915 State Fair before July 25th pre-
diets favorably for the success OF
South Dakota's great exposition.
These early applicants for space were
Bennett, Dawson, Fall River, Hyde,
Haakon, Hand, Jerauld, Lawrence,
Mellstte, McCook, Minnehaha, Pen
nington, Stanley, Sully. Turner. Zie-
bach, and Sphinx counties. Sphinx, the
winner last year. has entered q nom
competitive display on account Of the
rule against competition by first
prize winner of the preceding year.
This county Is showing her progress
siveness because she realizes the ad-

thousands OF people see these
school exhibits every year, and this is
resulting in a higher appreciation Of
the work of our public schools. Your
pupils may excel in some particular
branch of their work. Let us see
what you do. 1t is not essential that
you send in large exhibit. nor is it
desirable that the work should be
prepared especially for this. What is
wanted is the every day results. A
collective exhibit is best, whether
your school is country or city school
as this provides an interesting study
for teachers who visit the fair. If you
cannot prepare such an exhibit then
enter for other premiums A small
exhibit is better than none. Let the
people of the state know that you are

1t then goes into the record of high
financing which came to light at the
time of the hearing held before the
commission last July.
For an Investment of $172.000
Mr. Abeles received at the time of the
organization of this company, $500,
900 of the stocks and bonds of the
new company and obtained complete
control of the entire property" de-
clares the commission in reviewing
the case.
when the Atlantic Southern Rail
road company was organized, the
books show that Mr.. Abeles gave the
new company his personal check for
100000 in return for which an
equivalent amount of stock at its par
value was issued to Mr.. Abeles. The
books further show that Mr.. Abeles
then transferred to the new company
his title to the railroad property in
volyed in those proceedings. In re-
turn for his transfer, Mr.. Abeles re-
ceived 100000 in bonds of the new
company and 100000 in cash, or
100000 in money and bonds.

RAILROAD MUST OPERATE

When De Roo Weber of St Louis,
vice president of the Atlantic South
ern Railroad company was told a
few days ago that the railroad COM
mission would probably order the
operation of trains on the south por-
ton of the defunct road he declared
that the company would fight the or
der of the commission to the very
last court Now that the commission
has officially ordered that trains be
operated between Lyman and Villisca
it is probably that the owners of the
road will test out the authority of
the commission to make such an or
der.
The railroad commission points
opt that in cases where citizens have
voted taxes and other help to rail
road companies there is an obliga-
ton on the part of the company to
keep trains lin operation. Ii cites
rulings on cases in which this point
was involved and in which supreme
court held the obligation to operate
obtained on those roads which had
received aid from the public even
though the road did not pay.
In reviewing the case the commits.
sion shows that the farmers and res.
idents along the line of the railroad
in question have put into the prop
erty it is claimed, supplies and sub.
scriptions for stocks and bonds ''for
which they now have nothing to
show except some receipts"
