Work Of Japanese siIkworms.

An Improvement in the manner of
Matching silkworms has been recently
perfected by Japanese growers. Egg
cards are immersed in diluted hydro
chloric acid for five to ten hours just
before they are hatched. In fort
night or IL days after the immersion
the eggs are perfectly Matched, and
worms that are stronger and more
healthy than those hatched in any
other way may be seen coming out of
the shells. The silk produced By the
worms thus hatched is better and long
er than that produced in any
other way. 1t has been stated that the
silk produced by the worms bred in
the newly invented way measured
1,2OO feet, whereas the thread pro-
duced by the worms Matched in the or
binary way measures only 700 feet at
the longest.

Vermillion Republican, re-
port of State Game Warden, 81. 8.
Hedrick, was received by this
office the first of the week and in
going over the report we find it to
be quite interesting reading even
though neither of the editors are
ever caught participating in any
of the game sports. Among the
interesting items of note are that
during the year there has been
killed 206 deer, consisting of Ia
buck and 81 does; during the fs.
cal year ending June 80, 1916 the
total receipts of the Office have
amounted to S42,545 Al, an in
crease of $2,553.26. over the pre-.
vi0us year. The total operating
expenses of the department for the
same period has been $2O,935 "a.

A free night school il being con-
Quoted in Yankton for the purpose
of giving aliens proper instruction
to fit them for passing the exami
nation for citizenship. About
thirty pupils are enrolled in the
classes, which include instruction
in reading, writing, arithmetic,
American history, and especially
practical civics pertaining to the
running of our government. This
school is one of about three lthous
and that the naturalization bureau
of the department of labor is CO.
operating in starting a nation wide
movement TO instruct aliens in
their rights and duties of citizen
ship. This is a worthy movement
but the instruction should not be
limited to aliens, as there are many
native born boys who become vo-
tors who are shameful)y ignorant
regarding the principles Of our
government and their duties a.

! -.''.,.hN J FARMERS D5IuG WELL
Country, as They Have in the
British Isles.

English women are not the only ones
Who are hurrying into the farming
business. remarks n writer in the
Springfield (aass.) Republican. Amer.
lean women are turning in large num-
bers every year to stock raising, bee
raising and farming of all sorts. When
the national beekeepers' association
had its last annual meeting in Phila-
ilelphia 1t was noticed that large
number of the members were women
md they took n pertinent part in the
discussions.
Western women are older hands at
the business. The Missouri Woman
tells us there are 1900 woman farm
ers in that state, and they are women
who farm intelligently, scientifically
and successfully. They study the bull
letins sent out by the state board Of
agriculture, they compete ut the state
and country fairs-often they have
been quick to realize that cooperation
between city and country is Of utmost
Importance to both.
The 5000 woman farmers of Mis-
souri, make good profits in time OF
peace. In time Of war they could, very
likely, feed the entire state If all the
t,en farmers should be drafted into
nilitary service. OF one example of
efficient 'farm management" we read
that she has been making money annu-
ally on 200 acres in wheat and exten-
sive stock raising; another 'sraises hogs
Under glass''-that is to say, she at
tracted wide attention few years ago,
during blizzard winter, when other
farmers were losing live stock by
freezing, through resourcefully con-
verting her greenhouses into shelter.
Another Missouri woman farmer Is
widely recognized as an expert in fine
hogs. Her Berkshires have taken prizes
wherever shown and her corn exhibit

position gold medal.

Senator r. E. Dowdell, of Arte.
sian, has been to Detroit, Mich,
to consult Henry Ford in regard to
q free text book bill that he pro.
poses to introduce at the coming
session of the legislature. Mr..
Dowdell also has another measure
that he proposes to push. He
wants to submit an amendment to
the constitution to abolish the Leg
islature entirely, and establish a
law making body consisting of one
member from each judicial district.
The free text book plan is not new
as it is practlced in many places,
but what influence Henry Ford
would have in getting such a meas
ure through our legislature we are
unable to see. Regarding the
commission form of state govern
ment, we believe if Senator Dow.
dell would exert himself in trying
to reapportion the membership in
the Legislature in such way as to
reduce its size he would get farther
than he will trying to abolish it all
together.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Several matters will be consid.
cred BY the coming legislature that
are likely to inject some pep into
the proceedings. Of course the
enactment Of a prohibition law will
call for careful consideration. The
tax commission will endeavor to
again submit an amendment for
. classification of property for as.
sessment purposes, and the equal
suffrage leaders are preparing to
again push for their amendment.
Mr.. Dowdeil will ask the legisla.
tnre to submit an amendment abol.
fishing itself. A free text book bill
will call out q strong lobby from
the book publishers. The good
roads amendment passed at the
last election will require some care.

ing and eapportionment of road
funds. There will also be an Of.
fort made to get through some leg
islation that will control tie I. w.
w. movement that has caused so
much annoyance the past two
years during the harvest season.
Iowa, Nebraska and North Dakota
are also interested in this move
ment and it is proposed that a
joint committee be appointed from
the Legislatures of these states for
the purpose Of framing q uniform
law for all of them to control the
harvest hand situation. Then there
will be an effort .made to adopt q
budjet system for handling the f.
nancial affairs of the state, and if
possible eliminate the wire pulling
in making appropriations. Fortu.
nately over half of the members of
the Legislature have had previous
experience and this ought to help
some in getting sane action on
these important matters. @

Parkston Advance. Marie MUIR
phys big comedy company was
billed to appear two nights at the
city hall last week-and they came.
The show was not very much, but
the company carried girls plenty
and it was ground for much specu-
lation as to how the manager could
afford to carry a company of that
size. The mystery was soon clear
ed up, however, at the close of the
first performance, when the orches,
ira struck up a tune and the afore.
said girls of the company made q
wild rush to grab partners from
among the audience of willing
youths of Parkston for the dreamy
waltz and festive one.step. The
duration of the dance was one
minute and the Parkston youth
was invited at its close to dig up
the small sum of fifteen cents,
which he did, and then repeated
the whole performance, some of the
boys spending as high as 1--WE or
six dollars in one evening. The
second night the dances were cut to
half minute, but the boys fell for
it just the same, and it is estimat-
ed that the company cleaned up
several hundred dollars during the
two days and two nights they we're
in the city. The graft is new
one and is certainly a winner.
The entire company was we'll be,
haved and so far as We know, no
attempt was made to pull off any
rough stuff.

District No, ID,
We call attention for the last
time to those boys and girls, who
were conditioned for eighth grade
diplomas last spring. The condi.
tions were that if these pupils did
satisfactory work in the ninth
grade up to December first, this
Office would issue diplomas upon
reports from superintendents or
principals that such pupils had
fulfilled the required conditions.
These reports must be in this of.
flee before January first.
1t has come to the attention of
this Office that the clerks in taking
the census very often do not inter-,
view parents concerning the ages
of their children, but simply set
the older children's ages one year
ahead and 'sguess" at those who
should draw school money for the
first time. This is very danger
Gus practice as we'll as being lille
gal. 1t also com plicates the work
of this Office in checking up truan-
cy cases. In several instances the
present year where we have written
parents regarding the non attend.
ance of children, we have been in.
formed that they nave no children
by the names designated on the
census.

1t is only reyiving an ancient nrsu-
ment to say that a genius Is born, not
made. If we did not have concrete
that the statement was true. Our claim
is that Il genius is developed only by
the hardest labor of the favored one.
Moses Bcguslawslsi, who made his de-
but in New York at Aeolian hall, was
born in the ghetto of Chicago, where
he received his education. His father
was Russian army refugee. Before
him his grandfather and father had
been famous musicians, therefore 1T
was not surprising when the youngster
ut the age of four could play the piano.
While going to school he obtained
permission to practice during. class
hours. AT the age OF eight he WAS earn
ing money by lnuking the rounds of the
cafes, dance halls and ordinary bar
rooms. One afternoon he saw player
piano working automatically. He be-
came SO interested in the pianola that
he entered the store. BY strange Co
Incidence the noted Doctor Pachmann
had been drawn into the store a few
minutes previous to Boguslawski's ar
rival. He played for Pachlnann, who
noted at once that the boy was no ordi-
nary pianist. From then on his rising
has been rapid and now he is one of
the leading pianists of the country.
Boguslawslsi has the distinction OF be-
Ing one Of the greatest players, and
yet he has not had any instruction
whatsoever abroad.
