Anna Karenina and Sophie Bauer
schmidt were sitting on the curb-stone
in front of the Bauerschmidt saloon.
They were talking about Miss Lucy.
MY sister," said Sophie, seen Miss
Lucy and she says she's swell"
Sophies sister, creature Of very
big pompadour that hung coquettishly
into one eye, worked at the beauty
counter of department store and was
therefore the social oracle of the Bau

There was an element OF gloom in

all things pedagogical. "A SWELL"
she echoed disdainfully. she aind

aind nothing bud working-woman.

"Well, anyhow" said Sophie, Miss

Sophie.
"Hod air." Anna scoffed. "Why

New Fire Peril.

Birds carrying matches to their
nests under the caves of a college
building in New York were blamed
for a fire starting. The new art oil
fire prevention would preferably place
the blame on the human agency which
left such dangerous little weapons as
matches where the birds could ind
them to carry them to the caves.

Burns was better man than Byron,

been painted blacker than he really

THE WAY TO SUCCESS

Ray Smith, the Erwin boy who won
the state boys pig-raising contest, has
told how he did it.. His statement
covers the greater part of a column.
but the n principal element of his
success can be stated in four words,
"He loved his work." says the Lake
Norden Enterprise.
And this is the secret of all success,
be it boy, girl, man or woman Be-
cause Ray Smith of Erwin lives near
by he serves as a good example to our
own boys and girls. But doubtless
there we're many others in that con-
test who worked with all their might
and who are entitled to as much honor
as the winner. A little better animal,
or a little more attention at the criti-
cal time, made the difference between
the winner and the losers. To win is
not all of the reward; the knowledge
of having done ones task well is a
greater reward than the prize.
Whenever you see one who always
does a little better than his fellows
you may know that he is one who
loves his work. The farm boy who
tries to raise a good pig or a good
field of corn is not thinking most OF
the prize. If he did not love to raise
pigs or grow corn for the sake of the
work itself no prize could tempt him
to undertake the task.
The farm holds out the greatest in
ducements for the man of the future,
who is the boy Of today. But it is
only the boy who takes lively interest
in farm work, who finds Joy in watch.

WILL ANALYZE SOIL SAMPLES

Mitchell, s. D., oct. 27.-SOuth Da-
kota farmers waste annually thous-
ands of dollars planting crops upon
soils in no chemical or physical con
dition to grow them. This is especial
ly true Of alfalfa which requires Il
large excess Of lime in the soil. No
farmer should think of sowing yalu-
able alfalfa seed upon ground that has
not been analysed. The cost for such
an analysis is very small, less than
the cost Of alfalfa seed for a single
acre. 1t is no longer necessary to
gamble or go by guess. A soil an
alysis gives the farmer the facts.
A farmer near Mitchell planted a
forty acre field three times to alfalfa
and could not get a stand. An an
aIysis showed the soil was strongly
acid. He lost the cost of the seed
and the use of the land three years.
A simple analysis in advance would
have prevented all this waste. Agri-
cultural papers tell of the need of
nitrogen-gathering crops, humus, pot
ash, lime and Phosphorus. But the
average farmer has no idea as to
whether these are present in sufficient
quantity in his soil or not, The last
Legislature appropriated thousands of

is a move in the right direction, but it
will be years before such a survey can
furnish the individual farmer with the
information he needs to make a GER
tainty of his uncertainty about the
condition Of his soil. An accurate soil
analysis gives the only solution.
Dakota Wesleyan University has
just installed a complete outfit for
testing soils. So many have come
to the chemistry department of the
university in the past from farmers all
over the state who have desired to
have their soils tested, that the uni
versity in response to these calls has
put In this new equipment.
In order that a soil analysis may be
most serviceable, the farmer should
state the crop he expects to grow
upon the land as the analysis will
then show just what treatment, If any,
the soil requires to best grow this
crop. This is the season when soils
should be analysed, so the necessary
treatment can be attended to before
winter.
A soil analysis cannot be valuable
or accurate unless the sample for an
alysis is properly taken. Complete
directions for taking soil samples will
be mailed free to all farmers interest
ed If a letter or postal card request
ing it is sen to Prof. H. l. Jones, Da-
kota Wesleyan University, Mitchell.

A fractions horse hitched to a single
buggy occupied by Mike Jensen and
Peter Linquist started to run at the
Maxwell corner Saturday night and
could not be stopped until it ran into
a fiat car on the Main street railway
crossing. 1t was about 10:30 o'clock
and the train was going out. Specta-
tors said the horse acted as if he
would jump over the fiat car. How
ever the collision proved fatal for the
horse, and his hip bone was broken
and he was so badly injured that it
was necessary to shoot the animal a
half hour later. The men in the buggy
had a narrow escape and came out
very fortunate as the most serious
injury received by either was a bad
cut over Mr.. L~indQuist's right eye.T The
buggy was wholly demolished and
Monday morning was seen piled in a
heap near the scene of the accident.
