Somebody has figured it out that
the vote on the license question in
the various towns in this state in
April indicates that the state is
sure to remain wet in November.
It is claimed that in the 1O4 towns
voting the vets got a majority of
1,450, Granting that these figures
are correct, they come short of JUS
tifying such a conclusion. It must
be remembered that every wet
town is included in this list of 1O4,
while there are many towns in
which the dry sentiment is so
strong that no vote was taken.
Among them are such towns as
Springfield, Vermillion, Parker,
Canton, Brookings, Redfeld, and
numerous smaller towns. It is al.
80 generally conceded that the
farming districts will return SUBJ
stantial dry majority, SO the re-.
turns do not indicate that the bat
tie is won yet by either side.

sNALL-ToWN BOY NOT GONE
He Plays the Same Old Franks and
Has the Same Old Youthful
Exuberance.

Not long ago writer In a western
exchange bewailed the passing of the
true boy. the boy of natural impulses
with streak of old Adam, and a fine
contempt for the minor ordinances,
the Cleveland Plain Dealer remarks,
He was the boy who plotted and exc.
cuted mischief Of the boyish type, who
made himself nuisance, perhaps, to
the community in which he ran wild,
yet never mixed meanness with mis-.
q chief. In short, he was the old-fash.
ioned' boy, the embodiment of life and
spirit and impishness. In his place, as
the writer points out, we have the
hulking street corner boy, who travels
in gangs and becomes the bane of the
police guardians.
No doubt the author Of this disser.
tation had in mind the boy of the rural
community, not the city boy, but the
small-town boy That type of boy isn't
found in the cities. They are too
hampering for his soaring soul. He
needs room, he requires a tolerant
community, he wants congenial at

window and noted no boy of the old.
fashioned type, believes he end his 10y.
Gus type have passed.
The small-town boy still exists, how
ever. Every little while his boyish
pranks provide material for the coun
try correspondent. He plays the same
old tricks; he exhibits the same old
brand of boyish exuberance. The 9th
er day he slipped into a Delaware
church where revival service was in
progress. and left a half frozen hor.
nets nest beside the stove. When the
hornets thawed out they organized an
exploring expedition and the congrega.
ton promptly endeavored to leave the
edifice in body.
There is no use of worrying over the
decline Of the smalltown boy. He
hasn't dscII1sd.

brought up under the consolidated
school system is no reason why these

rising generation.

Few people realize that the lowest

eastern part of the state. When we
say sup north" in reference to the

quite mean what we say.
We are pleased to note the increas-
ingly large number of teachers who
plan to take review courses in varic US
summer schools this year. It is to this
class of teachers that we look for aid in
filling the best positions in the county.
We found an eighth grade applicant
who says that he was in this grade bul
four months, and we wonder what his
teacher meant by sending pupil of
such brief preparation up to take the
final examination.
Our attention has been called to some
cases of school ground discipline in
which the teacher failed to do her du-
ty. Please remember that the teacher
is more than teacher on the school
ground. She is expected 10 be leader

The Tabor Independent suggests
that it would be appropriate to
hold q grand celebration in 1919
to commemorate the fiftieth ami
versary of the first settlement of
Bohemians in Dakota territory.
II was in 1869 that the first settle
ment of Bohemians was made in
the vicinity of Tabor. Some of
these first settlers are still living in
the county. There are now, ac-
cording to the latest census, 9,847
people of Bohemian ancestry in
South Dakota, of which 1868 are
living in Bon Homme county.
They are as rule prosperous far
mers and business men and loyal
citizens. A celebration such as
the Independent proposes would
be appropriate at this time and we
are confident that such a meeting.
with a review of their accomplish
ments in this country and a COM
parison of their condition here with
the conditions that prevail in their
fatherland would greatly strengthen
the ties that bind them to theli
adopted country.

First English Music Printing.

In England the first known attempt
ut music printing was In 1895 by Wyn-
ken de Worde, at Westminster. A book
in the British museum proves that
forid music was printed in England in
1880. The typography is identical
with that of Petrucci.
There was little or no Improvement
in the principle of setting up movable
music type for some time. Nothing
could be more excellent than the book
printed by Worde alluded to above. but
that was the result OF double printing.
and both ancient and modern printers
who have tried the method have found
its disadvantages so great that thU

KINDNESS in RETURN

Have you heard of the Sunshine
Club?
To bring harmony into the closing
hours of the last days of those women
who have passed the three-score
mark, Mrs. Carrie A. Rugg of Kansas
City has founded a new society. With
no membership fee or subsequent
dues, the Sunshine Club is open to
everyone who will make life less
dreary for the silver-haired women
past so.
Inventions have taken the means of
livelihood from many old women. No
longer are mittens or stockings knit
by hand; rag carpets are not tediously
woven; spinning and weaving have
gone with the old oaken bucket, and
patch work quilts-well, little useful
work is left to be done by those who
have given their strength to the
present working generation.
Children are petted, mothers are
pampered, but too often there is little
except neglect for grandmothers. A
simple determination to make more
happy and comfortable the last days
of some gray-haired woman's life will
make you a member of the Sunshine
Club. Won't you join?

STIRRING THEM UP

Earl N. Kurtz, chief of the Columbi;
fire department, has requested that al
ward school teachers cooperate with
him in a fire prevention campaign.
This news has a familiar sound
Columbia citizens are not allowed to
slumber long. The need for adequate
fire protection is kept constantly be-
fore them, and one campaign after
another has been launched from the
office of the fire chief The situation
is attacked first from one angle and
then from another The good citizens
are fed fire prevention in various dis
guises until taking precautions
against possible fire has become a
habit.
Fire prevention laws may fill the
city ordinance book from cover to
cover, but Columbia has proved public
cooperation can accomplish what the
law has, in many cases. failed to do.
Columbias state wide reputation for
an exceptionally small loss from fires
is due to the persistency with which
the necessity for fire prevention is
kept before the public.
