SARATOGA SPRINGS. n Y. May
26.-The Methodist General Confer
ence has refused, by a vote OF 4S5 to
800, to remove from the discipline Of
the Church the clause which provides
the penalty Of expulsion for church
members who play cards, dance and
attend the theatre.
The foreign and colored delegates
voted almost solidly against any
change, while the principal support
came from the cities.
The subject Of amusements came
before the conference out of its reg

chute, into which openings are made
in both the hall and the bathroom.
The basement Is entered from a
nook off the kitchen. 1t may be made
a very useful part Of the house. Rooms
should be divided of to provide for
the furnace. coal bins, vegetable stor-
age and laundry. The location of the
laundry Is preferable under the
rear bedroom. since the clothes chute
should terminate In this room. The
floor OF the entire basement should be
Of concrete. which Is also an excellent
material for the foundation of walls. If
the entire substructure of the house Is
made Of poured concrete it Is certain
that the basement will be dry and easy
to keep clean.
The bungalow is, Of all the build
ing types used for homes, most easy
to make comfortable because Of the In
herent coziness which is a part of the
appearance Of the house itself. In case
the fafrily is not too large the bunga-
low is q most satisfactory type Of
house. 1t is possible to preserve the
appearance Of the bungalow and its
style In room arrangement and still
furnish second-floor space in the So
called "story-and-a-half" house; which
is simply the bungalow altered to pro-
vide more space. This type Is ex-
cellent for the larger family.

Oamaqed by Lake,

Lake Andes.-Land owners Of this
vicinity who have suffered damages
from the rise of Lake Andes, a large
body of water near here, and the over
flow Of their lands adjoining the lake
will hold a meeting here for the pur,
pose Of ascertaining the amount of
damage which each land owner claims.
1t is planned to consolidate these
claims for damages into one claim
and ask congress at its coming SEES
sion to reimburse the land owners for
the damage done. The federal gov.
eminent is responsible, for the reason
that the high stage of water in the
lake and its overlooking is due to the
great amount of water which has been
poured into the lake by monster ar
tesion wells which were drilled on
the shores Of the lake by the United
States government. Senator Johnson
OF Yankton has promised to introduce
in congress the claim for damages.

Railroad Organizers Meet.

Pierre.-A meeting of the organizers
Of the Belle Fourche and Northwest
ern Railway company, is said to have
been held at Belle Fourche the past
week when action was taken toward
pushing the actual construction work
on this line as soon as next spring
opens to allow continued work through
the summer. This line IL completed
would give the Northwestern Railway
company a direct connection with the
Puget Sound country over the line Of
the Northern Pacific system. Whether
the Northwestern system is back Of
1t or not will take time to develop.
At the present they deny any knowl,
ledge Of what the new company
proposes. or who is back Of It, and
that so far as they know it is merely
a local promoter scheme, but If the To-
cal promoters get in the line the real
motive back of their action will soon
begin to develop itself.

With very little effort the rooms Of
this bungalow may be made exception
ally coy and homelike. The living
room and dining room are joined to-
gether with only a colonnade between.
These rooms should be finished in
somewhat the same style, to produce
the best effect. The large fireplace,
with bookcases on each sio-, may be-
made the center of attraction in the
living room. The dining room Is well
arranged, having a buffet built into
the wall opposite the three-window
bay.
A double-acting door leads from the
dining room into the kitchen. The
value of the arrangement of this part
of the house will be appreciated by
every housewife. At the rear of tho
kitchen are the pantry and the rear
porch. Both Of these may be used to
very good advantage in connection
with the kitchen. The pantry Is 1T
ted with shelves and a work table. A
large window furnishes an ABUNDANCE
Of light. The refrigerator may be

Typhoid Vaccine Free.

To distribute typhoid vaccine to the
people Of South Dakota through their
physicians, without charge, is a plan
of the state health laboratory at the
University of South Dakota. DR.. Nor
timer Herzberg, director Of the labora-
tory, announced the plan upon his re-
turn from a recent trip to New York,
Philadelphia, Chicago and other east
rem cities where he inspected the work
done by health departments. South
Dakota will be among the first states
to adopt the government method Of
preventing typhoid epidemics. The
service, as planned by the state health
laboratory, will be free. Any physi-
clan in South Dakota will be able to
get the vaccine on application when
the department has completed its ar
rangements and has a sufficient sup
ply Of the vaccine on hand to begin
free distribution to physicians. The
laboratory hopes to have the vaccine
ready for distribution January l, but
this date cannot be announced with
certainty because preliminary expert
ments must be made.

For BUDGET system


From the interest being expressed
by legislators, it is apparent that the
South Dakota legislature will have
before it the consideration of a bill
providing for a budget system.
Auditor Handlin, in his report, re-
Gently recommended that the North
Dakota law on the subject be adopted
here. Officials from North Dakota in
response to i~nterrogatory from this
state say of their law: The present
law has been in effect only one year,
but it is expected to accomplish a con.
siderable saving in state expenditures,
as the departments and institutions
are not to exceed the amount appro-
priated for their work. The transfer
OF POUNDS to another account is not
permitted except by authority of the
emergency board, which may, if it
considers the necessity sufficient, per-
NIT the transfer Of 10 per cent of one
fund to another fund"
In North Dakota what was known
as the Lathrop committee made its
recommendations to the legislature Of
1915 as to the amounts which should
be appropriated for each department
this being based on the committees
interview with each department. The
committee also drafted the bill provid-
ing for that budget appropriation. In
North Dakota the budget was not &C
companied by a special message from
the governor.

Hamlet and Other Men.

AS every man. according to Cole
ridge, is born either a Platonist or an
Aristotelian, SO there is no human be-
ing in whom some Of the characters
tics Of Hamlet do not exist.
In this marvellous creation Is present.
ed a mirror in which the most exalted
and the most contemplate Of our spe-
cies may catch glimpses Of them
selves.
Hamlet is not so much an individual
as humanity individualized, not so
much a man in integrity as man in
solution.
Probably no poet, no artist. no phil
osopher has ever existed who would
not recognize a kinsman in him, and
who would not read more than one
chapter of his own most secret history
in this a~ll-typical d%elineation.
He Is at once the type Of those to
whom life owes its richest possessions
and of those who strew it with
wrecks.

What Kind of Prohibjtorv Act

One of the propositions which will
receive a lot Of discussion at the COM
ing legislative session will be the kind
of a prohibitory law which will be
passed. The act as it will finally be
adopted will no doubt be something
of a compromise between the most
more liberal ones which will prevail!
radical prohibitory ideas, and the
among many of the members. One
Of the "stickers" will be the right of
dealers to handle household rene
dies and essences which contain a
small percentage Of alcohol. The
country merchant who has for years
carried a part Of his stock in trade
standard liniments, and like rene
dies along with extracts and essences
will be against an act so strongly
drawn that this trade will be barred to
them. Just how far the radical anti.
liquor people will want to go will be
the main issue.

GET FINAL RETURNS
SUMMARY OF eALtOT ON AMEND
MENT SHOWS A MAJORITY
OF 1866.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and from
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Pierre
Final returns received from the
county auditors OF every county in
the state give the prohibition amend
ment a total majority of II, sos. There
were 64,867 votes cast in favor of
prohibition and 1882 against it. The
only counties giving wet maiorities
were Aurora, Bonhomme, Bru.e, Camp
bell, Douglas, Edmunds, Faulk,
Hughes, Lawrence, Mcpherson, Pot
ter, Walworth and Yankton. The
county giving the smallest we MAORI
ty was Lawrence, two votes. The
county giving the largest dry majority
was Brookings, 851 votes. The small
est dry majority was given by Corson
county, which gave the amendment a
majority of four votes. The city CIV
ing the largest dry vote was Brook
ings, with a majority of 43S to it's
credit. Next came Mitchell with 1888,
and Watertown a close third with $50.
No town of over 1900 population gave
a wet majority. except Aberdeen,
which went wet by a few votes.
One of the interesting things in con
nection with the election is the fact
that as a rule the wettest towns and
cities gave the largest dry MAORI
ties. Some OF the wet towns voting
dry were WATERFOWL, Sioux Falls, Dali
las, Winner, Freeman, Geddes, Huron,
Deadwood, Lead, Hot Springs, Belle
Fourche, Parkston, Bridgewater,
Chamberlain and Gregory.
Antisaloon league officials here, COM
menting on the election, said that 1t
is an Indication of the general dissat-
isfaction that exists throughout the
country over the saloon system, and
1t is freely predicted that South Da-
kota going dry, together with Michi-
gan, Nebraska and Montana, will result
in congress submitting a national pro-
hibition amendment to the states at
the coming short session which meets
In December.

ment brought the farmers of the sur,

dollars. The local elevators, never

bushels of corn alone, and in addition
received in his elevator large Quanti-

building the bare walls, floors, ceilings
and roof of the larger house.
There are any number Of ways in
which a small house may be made
homelike. The most important pre-
caution to be observed in the arrange
ment Of the rooms is that of providing
space for furniture already in the
possession of the owner, or about to
be purchased. This applies to the
larger pieces of furniture, such as the
piano or divan. Each room should be
given individual features which most
thoroughly fit 1t to furnish the desired
qualities. In the living room most
people like a fireplace, and built-in
bookcases furnish a very handy and
useful feature. The housewife will no
doubt appreciate q buffet In the dining
room. A pantry is a great help in
the preparation Of meals. A clothes
chute saves steps and keeps soiled
linen out Of the way. These and many
other features are easily provided and
the expense of their construction Is
more than paid back in the conve-
nience and comfort which they pro-
vide.
The bungalow shown In the illustra-
ton is an excellent type of home for
the family that takes pride In max
ing the various rooms Of the house in
which they live as coy and attrac-
tive as possible. OF course, for such
a family the house must, in itself,
have the qualities Of coziness and at
Effectiveness, or no amount Of labor will
seem to produce just the effect that is
desired. The bungalow seems to be
the right type, and this particular de-
sign has many desirable features from
This standpoint.
The outside walls Of the bungalow
are plastered in white or some light
shade Of gray. Wood trim Is finished
dark in contrast to the light walls. A
hip roof is used with small dormers
having their sides finished with shia-
giles. Brick chimneys are used for the
fireplace, furnace and kitchen stove.
The porch Is very attractive and USE
full. 1t Is built across the front Of the
house and extends on one end so that
steps along the side of the house make
1t accessible from the rear. The end
of the porch hear these steps is built
In the pergola style. The general ex-
terror design Is simple but very at
tractive.
