arrived In Pierre to take up her duties
as assistant in the Free Travelling Ii

able the entire state library to be cat
alogued, which has never been done
up to the present time, although the

A COLLEGE NEWS

Prof. Wilson has gone to the county
fair at Salem, McCook county, after
which he will go to the county fair be-
ing held at Armour where he will act
as judge Of the stock.
DR.. Hume is spending the greater
part of the week at the Indian fair held
at Greenwood on the Missouri river in
Charles Mix county. DR.. Hume is
working in both the capacity of judge
and giving some agricultural ad-
dresses.
Prof. Mayer is at the Douglas county
fair where he has the Boys and Girls"
exhibit of the college.
Prof. Cramer is attending the Lake
county fair at Madison and is acting as
a judge and also has charge of the
State College exhibit.
Prof. Stivers is attending the Brook
ings county fair in charge of the ex-
hibit for the school of agriculture.
Reports coming from Onida where
Pres. Perisho spoke last Friday, the
3rd, would indicate that the presidents
address was not only a great drawing
card but also left a deep impression
upon the people of that section. The
celebration was in the nature of a
gathering for the Old Settlers and a
general agricultural meeting. An i'm
mense audience gathered from Sully
and adjoining counties to listen to the
president of the State College.
The following day the president
spoke before an audience composed of
the Hughes county eighth grade grad
yates and their friends. The meeting
was held at Blunt with a fine audience
present to listen to Pres. Perisho.
The president also is filling his share
of the county fair engagements-Fri-
day the 10th, he will speak at Phillip
and it is reported that Phillip will have
a great celebration in that day.
The State College cannot well over
estimate the value which should be at
tributed to the addresses given
throughout the state by President
Perisho. Nothing need be said of the
president as a speaker-he is so well
and favorably known that comment is
unnecessary-but we should not lose
sight of the fact that every address
given by Pres. Perisho cannot fail to
draw a few students to this institu-
ton.

TAKE UP BETTER FARMING

w. C. Randlett, who has been ap~
pointed to take charge Of the
agricultural movement in South
Dakota, authorized by the late legis-
ature under the Congressional Smith
Lever act, has begun operations, and
finds that ten counties have made their
deposit in the state treasury to take
up this extension work with his leader

agriculture and the State College joint
ly operate to supply this leader, and
his Instructions come from Brookings
for South Dakota conditions.
Mr.. Randlett thinks one more coun-
ty, McCook, will probably make its de-
post this fall, and that will make II

eminent aid, to further agricultural
work. Several other counties have
completed local work of organization
to join the movement but will be ready
to begin operations in the spring. Last
year South Dakota, though not then

Smith-Lever act to receive such aid,
did get that years $4,000 for agricul-

WOODMEN WILL
RALLY STRONG
NEXT THURSDAY
AMERICUS TO SEND FORCE TO LOG
ROLLING.

The recent meeting of Americas
camp w. o. W. at which the annual
Log Rolling" at Hawkinsville on
Thursday next was discussed, was ii
very interesting one, and Americas is
going over in force next Thursday. The
Seaboard ,as announced, will operate
a special excursion train from Ameri-
Gus to Hawkinsville for the Woodmen
and others desiring to attend this gala
occasion. and the low rate of one dol
lar round trip should fill up the train.
Americas folks should go over and
help boost Americas.
Americas having secured the state
convention for 1917, this is the time
to push the game and show the Wood
men of the state that ours is a live
bunch. Excellent talks, full of en-
thusiasm and urging the members of
the Americas camp to get behind the
proposition were made at the recent
meeting by Secretary Hyman, DR.. H. +.
Allen, Hon. w. A. Dodson and others.
Each Woodman present agreed to act
as a committee of one to induce Amer
icus people to go.
1t has been stated that some have
understood that only members of the
Woodmen of the World would be al
lowed to go on this special train This
is not the fact Anybody having 8
ticket can go. The whole of Americas
is invited to accompany this camp II
Hawkinsville. Thursday being a half
holiday with the stores, it is expecte
that many of the merchants and their
employees will accompany the train.
The Chamber of Commerce will fur
nish ribbon badges and banners and
pennants for those who go, and Amer
icus will be on the map. Those citi-
zens who expect to go should come to
the Chamber of Commerce and register
or phone in their names, so that the
w. 0. w. can know how many are 60
ing. Train leaves 1900 a. m. Return,

ready to give concerts.
Americas is lucky in securing Mr..
Kodatt. He will be in Americas Tues

INTENSE HEAT
HAS BL|sTERED
SUM TER FIELDS
CORN DAMAGED is BEYOND RE.
COYERY NOW.

With the temperature again soaring
at noon today just under the hundred
notch, the heat here is the fercest
known before for such an extended
period and Americas, like the balance
of the state, fairly swelters. 1t was
intensely hot yesterday, with the tenn
perature at 100, and conditions today
are no more favorable.
Rain is halfway promised tomorrow,
but the relief seems a long way off
just now.
Here in the city not few shade
trees have actually been killed by the
drought, only 5 1-2 inches of rain haT
ing falleE in more than a month. Other
trees are shedding all their leaves ana
the limbs are as bare now as they
usually are in January.
Cotton fields are being wellnigh
ruined by the drought, and the ground
is covered in places with batons and
small bolls, while the larger bolls are
opening prematurely. The corn crop,
which even a week ago seemed most
promising, is already badly injured. In
some fields the stalks are as dry as
canebrake and would burn if match
were applied.
The situation is really distressing,
as gardens are parched, and the veg
etable and fruit crops cut off by dry
weather Streams are diminishing,
and water supply in the country dis
tricts may soon prove a problem.

CLAIM NINE SUNK HESPERIAN
NAVAL OFFICERS TO SUBMIT
FINDINGS TO DANIELS.
Dispatches Asserted British Admiralty
Believed Vessel Torpedoed With
out Warning by U-Boat.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Nayal officers
assigned to examine pieces Of metal
said to have been found aboard the AL
Ian liner Hesperian before she sank off
the Irish coast, September 4, are vir-
tually convinced that the vessel was
wrecked by a mine. Their findings
will be submitted to Secretary Daniels
this week.
While there has never been a formal
announcement on the subject, dispatch
es from London have credited the
British admiralty with the belief that
the Hesperian was torpedoed without
warning by a German submarine.
Berlin Sent Memorandum.
Some time after the Hesperian went
down the German government present
ed, through Ambassador Gerard, a me-
morandum stating that none of it's sub
marines was in the vicinity at the
time the vessel was wrecked and that
consequently mine must have caused
the explosion.
High American naval officers had
cOntended from the first that the fact
that the ship was struck forward at
night when far beyond the zone in
which German submarines usually OPP
crate made it practically certain that
she had run upon mine.

HENNEPIN VOTES ON OPTION
Goes on Record Today for or Against
Elimination of Public Drinking
Place.

Minneapolis, Oct. 4.-Hennepin
county goes on record today for or
against the elimination of the public
drinking place. A campaign which for
intensity and widespread participation
eclipses any ever conducted here came
to a close with both sides firing their
last political guns. The lines are
drawn, speakers are stilled, and final
verdict of the electorate Is awaited.
Both sides claim it will be favorable
to their respective leanings. The vets,
however, are more confident, and
claim a larger majority.
The Sabbath had no deterrent effect
on the energy of either the vets or
drys. The fight was waged until mid
night in every section of the city, the
vets concentrating in few places,
the drys bombarding every nook and
corner of the city with brigades of
auto-borne orators.
