CORN FOR PALACE
is COMING FINE
CROP OF MAIZE FOR DECORAT-
ING BIG MITCHELL. TEMPLE
WILL RIPEN IN TIME
FOR FESTIVAL

Along with the assurance that
the corn crop in South Dakota will
mature this fall before Jack Frost
starts in on mis- first skirmish of
the season, comes the news that
never before has the outlook for
corn to decorate the Corn Palace
at Mitchell been better. The crop
will be ample and the colorirg of
the grain is especially suited for
the panels and towers on the great
Temple of Ceres.
The farmers in the country near
| Mitchell who have the raising of
the corn for the Palace as an i'm.
portant part of their yearly crops
report that the grain is ripening
fast and the ears filling out we'll.
The crop is now far enough along
| to assure the Corn Palace manage
ment that nothing will interfere
with the supply for decorative pur-
poses.
The doubling of the small grain
crop in South Dakota this year, as
indicated by the state crop reports,
several weeks ago made certain
that the sheaves of fax and oats
on caps of the big towers of the
Corn Palace would be superb. It
| is said that the small grain used
in the decorations are in the finest
condition they have been found.
Nothing better illustrates crop
conditions in South Oak ota than
the quality of grains used in the
decorating of the most distinc-
tive agricultural display OF the
northwest.
Of considerable interest to the
cities and towns nearby Mitchell
is the announcement just made
public that Miss Nina Hager, a
former Mitchell girl, who has ap.
peared here in rscitals, will be 80.
loist on the Corn Palace programs
this fall. Miss Hager has a rich
mellow voice of pellucid tone,
which has been greatly polished by
study under leading teachers dur
ing the past year. Miss Hager al
60 travelled with one of the leading
concert compaaies last winter, ad-
ding many laurels to her series Of
Isuccesses.

A short time ago Rev. Frank P.
Leach, who is publishing q paper
called "The Church and School"
at Sioux Falls, published full

Hon. Chas Burke has been ap-
pointed by Mr.. Hilles, chairman
of the national committee. as COM
mitteeman from this state 10 fill
the vacancy caused by the death
of Thos. Thorson. This is a logi-
cal selection and one that will tend
to produce harmony in the party.
Mr.. Burke was nominated by the
last republican primaries as can
didate for United States senator,
defe ating Coe | Crawford who rep
resented the radical progressive
wing Of the party. The result Of
the primary vote shows that lie
represents the sentiment of ma.
iority of the party and his appoins-
ment was therefore logical. Mr..
Burke was defeated at the polls by
a small minority of the party that
supported the democratic candi
date, and the only objection to his
appointment comes from this mi
nority. 10 have selected com
mitteeman to satisfy the demands
of his small minority would GER
tainly have been distasteful to the
maj ajority, and therefore fatal to
any movement in the interest of
harmony.

Recruiting in Hampstead Health

From the Manchester Guardian.
 Near the flagstaff on Hampstead
 Heath the first meeting drew the usual miscellaneous collection of promenad- CTS but with a noticeably large num- Der of men of military age. The Span iards road is a resort of youths of the sportive kind. From the little van pitched under the bursting chestnuts in Heath House garden there poured an earnest stream of appeal. The speak CTS are of all the parties, in accord ance with the war truce, the liberal candidate speaking in the morning and the conservative member in the after noon. The van, whence no doubt fierce party rhetoric resounded in the age be- fore the war, was radiant with pa triotic art There was not much inlme- diate response. The Hampstead prom enaders are so used to the preaching of ''antis" and 'isms'' at the flagstaff that they have become hardened Thought less youths on motorcycles rushed ;ast the meeting with derisive shrieks on their horns. The vital difference be- tween the grave call of the recruiting meetings and the old harmless warfare of the platform seemed to strike no one this morning. The claret-faced re- cruiting sergeant patiently searched the fringes of the crowd for volun- teers but seemed to meet with little luck. Perhaps the meeting would have gone better with a band. One or two names, it is true. were entered in the sergeant's yellow book. and perhaps one or two names after such mee ing is considered reasonable haul A stones throw from the recruiting mcot- ing a person in a crimson tie. with a face curiously distorted by bitterness, was trying to instill virulent doubts into a small crowd. The silence with which this anti-recruiter was listened to was suggestive of the calmness of the public mood. During the Boer war it would have needed more courage to make such a speech at the flagstaff than to go to the front The prone naders gave him a patient and quiet in- different hearing, and even the soldiers back from France didn't seem to rnino

Money Raised by Colored Women's

The following statement has been mada regarding the funds recently sought for the colored Old Folks and Orphans homa in Birmingham:
 "The City Federation of Colored Wo- mems Clubs was organized in the fall of 1913. and immediately undertook as It's special work the rasing of funds to liqui- date mortgage of $37o0 against the Old Folks and Orphans home in the city of Birmingham. In March, 1914 we paid the first note of s700 with interest. During the past few months the members of the various clubs have worked faithfully to raise funds to meet the second pay ment, due March ', 1915 which was S1009 and interest on 5000.

Out of this amount we paid a note of $1000 and the semi annual interest note of s120 and So4, which was due on the interest note which fell due in September and we did not have money to meet it in full at that time. The balance is to go to pay on the premium on our insurance.
