Put Up Your Own Ice

An exchange gives the following
method of obtaining a summer sup
ply of ice on the farm: Dig a hole
in the ground about six feet square
and SIX feet deep. or an oblong hole
containing the same number of cub
ic feet, near enough to the well so
the water NAV be pumped into the
hole through a hose or a wooden
trough. As soon as the ground has
frozen hard. pump say a foot of
water, and allow 1t to freeze solid.
repreat this operation until the hole
is filled with ice, cover with straw.
put a common board roof over it.
and you have a supply of the best
ice for the following season, which
can be split into whatever sized
chunks r desired, and will separ-
ate at each layer.

Should Wheat Reach S.

Sioux Falls Argus:-it is the OF
inion of a New York paper that
wheat may go to So a bushel in the
next few years. Should wheat go
to S. a bushel white bread would be
about as rare on a poor mans table
as a porterhouse steak IS now; but
good bread can be made from rye
and corn and the war has taught the
Germans how to make good bread
from potatoes. The New York pa
per, also should not overlook the
millions Of unframed acres in the
great west and in Canada which
would get mighty busy when wheat
went to the fanciful price suggested.

AID AGRICULTURE
AIM OF NEW LAW
Money to C0nie From Nation,
State and County

Aberdeen NeWS:-A Dill 10 provide
an appropriation of S45, 900 for the
extension of agriculture in the state
for the next two years. beginning
July l, 1915, will soon be introduced
in both houses of the state legisla-
ture, according to Isaac Lincoln,
state senator from Brown county.
This bill. which will provide a
means to take advantage of the
provisions Of the Smith Lever bill in
congress. has been carefully prepar-
ed by several legislators interested IN
agriculture, and will be introduced
into both hotses as committee bills.
The Smith. Lever bill. which was
passed In congress a couple Of years
ago, provided a large sum OF money
for each state for the purpose of ex-
tending agricultural activities. The
bill provided for a fiat sum Of S10.-
900 for the first year and an increas-
ed amount each year following, ac-
cording to the rural population Of a
state. Roughly estimated the
amount for the fiscal year beginning
July !. 1915, as provided for South
Dakota in this bill is SIG, 900. while
for the next fiscal wear the amount
will be S2l, 900.
The proposed bill provides that
each county shall form an associa-
tian to be known as the agricultural
extension association. The member.
ship shall be 81 a year and there
shall be at least five directors. a vice
president, secretary. treasurer and
county agent or leader, who shall
have an assistant, and who shall be
under a state leader,
The county association shall be in
corporated and the papers filed with
the secretary of state. After this
association has been formed the dir.
ector shall make a request from the
county commissioners for a sum not
to exceed 500 for each cOngression-
al township in the county, which
sum shall be used for agricultural
extension, The county commission
ers shall order the proposition put
to a vote in the county and # the
pr proposition carries. the sum of
money voted shall be paid to the of
| ficers Of the association by the cOun-
ty treasurer.
The state will, according ID the
bill, furnish a sum Of money not to
exceed go per cent of the amount
voted by The counties. the amount
to be paid by the state treasurer
from funds appropriated by the
Legislature for the purpose, The
funds received from the government
will be apportioned among the coun,
ties by the state.
1t is required that the county
leader conduct at least a four days
farm school to be held some time be.
tween December | and March l., of
each year, and that county agent
shall draft for service at these meet
ings any county leader IN the state
The bill also provides that severa
counties may unite in hiring a coun
ty leader. who will be under the
! supervision Of the state leader to be
chosen.
The bill az prepared and TO be in,

RE=BIRTH OF COP.
SAYS N. Y. PAPER
Republicans FiOcking Back to
Support of Their Old Party

New 1OTk LINES: NOV
ember, 1912, and November, 1914,
the republican party was born again.
The official figures of the November
vote in all of the states, for the first
time assembled and made public in
TIE Times today, tell the story The
total vote cast for republican can
didates last wear was almost double
the presidential total for two years
before. In 1912 the vote for Mr.
Taft was 3,4S4, $50. In 1914 the re-
publican vote reached a total of o..
013, 374. This is a republican gain
of 2,52S,41S.
The subsistence of the progressive
upheaval, of course, accounts for
this enormous gain made by the
republicans in two years. The
Roosevelt vote in 1912 was 4 49,
507. There were only five states,
California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas
and PENNSYLVANIA, in which the pro-
gressive vote exceeded 100, 600. Al
most half the vote of that party was
cast in three states, California,
Pennsylvania, Illinois. where the
total progressive vote was G32,679.
Nevertheless. In Illinois and Perm.
sylyania the prCgressives were out
voted.
The progreSSives lost 2,213. 900, but
the republicans gained 2,52S,4 l1.
These additional recruits came
evidently from the number Of those
republicans who in 1912 took refuge
in the democratic camp. or perhaps
with the socialists, for it is to- be
noted that the socialists loss in tn,
two years is 2l4,37S The demo
Gratis gained 81, 943 votes, which re-
presented probably the return OF
the Roosevelt democrats to their
own party
The democrats retain their con
troll of the House in the next Con
gress not through the success o'
their own appeal to the country
but by the obIiging conduct of the
progressives in a good many dis
! tricts, ahere-thev insisted on run
ming their own candidates. Thirty,
| nine such districts are specified by
the republican national committee
where the candidates Of the repubil
can party were defeated through tn,
presence in the field Of pr)gresSives
That is more than sufficient to "a
count for the smaII democratic ma
jority in the House.
The loss by the progreSsiVes of
good deal more than half their vote
which went bodily to swell the re
publican vote. is the great slgnific
ant fact disclosed in the table W
print this morning. The republican
have come into their old estate as
great party. That they are again
dangerous party for the democrat
is manifest from the fact that thei
total vote lin this off YEAR was onl
81, 588 behind that of the party i
power. The democratic leaders Wi
find matter for serious thought il
these official returns of the vote.

SUNDAYS WAY.

Billy Sundays meetings IN fniia
ldelphia we're the most remarkable
ever held in point Of converts and
physical exertions. BY such exertions
physicians say that Sunday will short
en- his life 20 years. He does moi
care. He throws all his physical
forces into his preaching. That Sun
| day does not care for money appears
Iby such incidents as his refusal of the
remarkable offer that came from 40C
New York ministers Instead he ac-
cepted ar offer to go to Paterson,
n. j., a community with bad name
which thinks Sunday may do some
thing to recover for it decent repu-
tation. The idea appealed to the
Evangelist.
When he went to Philadelphia il
was with the understanding that the
meetings would cost s5S,00o, which
sum he had to raise in his final vol
|untary collections. IL he failed to
keep his voice and to interest his au-
diences in building seating $4,000,
it would be financial disaster. He
did not hesitate. and when the final
collections came with no appeal from
Sunday, and no urgent appeal from
anybody, the returns are said to have
been $50, 600 Sunday will undoubted-
ly receive much more than this from
grateful persons in checks through the
mail.
The Philadelphia meetings confirm
the fact that Sunday is the greatest
newspaper topliner living. After 10
weeks of speaking before Philadelphia
audiences, he was still found on the
first page Of the local papers. This is
an astounding proof OF his power and
versatility. Even as great headliner
as Col. Roosevelt falls short of such a
record. Commenting on the Sunday
meetings the Philadelphia North
American reports that where he had
hundreds of followers at the begin
ming, they are numbered by thou
sands, including the best and hardest
headed of merchants and men OF
business and professional men. That
paper tells some attractive stories OF
Sundays kindnesses. He has good
deal Of sentiment and leaves behind
him trail OF Cancelled mortgages of
widowed and orphaned or luckless
families. He scatters his income in
such ways and in putting boys through
college, having always a score or more
whose way he is paying in whole or
part. The North American concludes
as to this interesting personality, who
is credited in the last year with max
ing two states, Colorado and Iowa
