NORTH HAND
From Orient August

Orient and vicinity was visited last
Saturday evening by it's second bad
storm within a week. The storm was
a combination of rain, hail and a
high wind from the southwest. Old
residents here say it was the worst
hail storm, which has occurred here
in many years, and never before so
late in the season. All windows IN
the south and west sides of buildings
were broken out by the hail stones,
and the local merchants were cleaned
out of their stock Of window lights
before half the orders had been fill
ed. A great deal of damage was
done to household fixtures by the
hail and rain.
The six year old son of Nh and
Mrs Ed. Palmer was run over ty a
load of sand. DR.. Mitchell was cali
ed and he reports no bones broken,
but is not sure how badly the boy
may be injured internally.

Cong. johnson.
Predicts Hughes

Congressman Royal c. Johnson, of
this district. just home from Wash
ington says:
Republican senators and con-
gressmeL with whom | talked before
leaving Washington, are confident
of the election of Mr.. Hughes as
president.
Il agree with President Wilson
that "a very remarkable session of
congress has just been closed but
believe it to have been remarkable
principally for the immense appro-
priations which were made. The
sum total of these appropriations is
nearly 81. 200, 600, 900. certainly a
remarkable increase over former
figures.
Neither labor nor the railroads
asked for the eight hour law just
enacted; both are dissatisfied with il
and both realize that the question
has not been settled-the situation
simply having been clouded."

LAND VALUES COME
TO WESTERN STATES
Prices Have Now Passed the 5000
Mark in Northwest Iowa

When the first settlers came to
Hand county they passed over lands
in Northwestern Iowa that could
have been purchased for S. per acre.
That was a trife more than one gen.
Grafton ago. Here is a report of
some recent sales made in that local
lty, as reported in the Sioux Falls
Argus Leader:
THE Alton Democrat tells of the
recent sale of a 200 acre farm near
Alton for 1926 per acre. The same
paper notes the sale Of a 240 acre
farm in that vicinity at $237. so per
acre. The Nevada Representative
mentions the fact that G.. S. Mont
gomery sold his 50-acre farm near
that place for $3.50 per acre. An.
other piece of land in the same coun.
ty sold for $500 per acre. The Ida
Grove Pioneer tells of a sale at 500,
the George News of one at $3.50, the
Neville Mail of one at $20l. and the
Lake City Graphic of a sale at 1922"

VICTORY A
REMARKABLE One
Say The Expert Writers in Wash
ington City

Despite the power of the national
and state administrations both in
the hands of the democrats, Maine
gave the republicans a victory of
1880 at the recent election. and re-
yves the old political saying: las
goes Maine in September, so goes
the nation in November" The Dat
tie was fought on national issues.
both parties sending their best ma
tioral speakers into that state. and
both parties admitted before cleo
ton that the result would indicate
the national result at the November
election.
That they did good work is evil
denced by one Of the very largest
votes ever cast in the state. The re-
suit is really a remarkable political
incident in the country's checkered
politics. Once a regular republican
state, the party was split asunder in
1919. and again in 1914. by a division
Of republicans and progressives.
which gave the state to the demo-
Gratis. But this year, despite these
handicaps, republicans won by a
greater vote than the combined re-
publican and progressive votes of
1914, which proves conclusivelv that
republicans and p~rogressives are
again united, and that the East is
not satisfied with the democratic ad-
ministratiOn.
This is the Interpretation of spe-
cial writer's in Washington city,
where the population lives and
breathes politics, where every phen-
omenon of nature, every accident of
life. or eccentricity of humanity,
is closely studied with regard to its
effect upon the fortunes of any
existing administration and the
jobs of those who make up Washing
ton life.

THOUSANDS ATTEND
BIG STATE FAIR
kingsbury County Wins First,
Yankton Second, Hand
Third

The great state event at Huron
last week attracted the usual thou
sands of people who poured into
that city by train and automobile.
They we're perhaps all well repaid
by what they saw and the opportun-
ity afforded to mingle among great
crowds OF people once a wear
The exhibits were large and fine,
perhaps not excelled by any agricul-
tural fair held in the United States.
The display of live stock was a grand
sight to all lovers of good stock. and
disclosed the really remarkable
growth of this industry in a new
state,
Among the county displays of ag-
ricultural products none exceeded
Hand county. the corn display being
especially large and fine. The pre-
miums were awarded upon points.
Hand county scored first on general
display. Kingsburv first on decora-
ton, Yankton first on quality of ex-
hibit. In the summing up of the
points on individual products Kings
bury won first, Yankton second and
Hand third. One feature enjoyed
by Hand alone, and which attracted
large attention from spectators. was
the bulk display of splendid corn,
which was really worth more to the
county than a first premium.
The largest exhibit of fruits ever
displayed in the state attracted at
tention and favorable comment, par
ticularly the apple exhibit. 1t gave
an indication of age and development
as first settlers seldom attempt fruit
growing. That appears to be left
for a later generation. which indulge
in more diversified and more intensi-
fled production. But it is very sal.
isfactory to note that such things
are coming rapidly. The day will
come when some of the country:
very best apples are produced in
South Dakota,
Another feature of this advanced
age was noted in the display of auto
mobiles. tractors, gas engines, etc
1t is the ege of mechanical power
All displays, in fact, in all depart,
ments. were sufficient to arouse the
pride of a South Dakotan. and th,
Playground appointments were up t.
the demands of the great crowds.
The amusement attractions were
very similar to those of oth"r years
regular and acceptable. but withou
novelty or thrill, with perhaps a SIN
gle exception. The auto races 0
Monday were reported to be tn,
most interesting event of the amuse
ment department.
That the big fair IS located in III
right city is now generally conceded
because of Huron's excellent railroa,
facilities. The city takes care of tn
fair in very good shape, and mus
enjoy a business opportunity create
than accorded bv any other annua
incident in any other city of tn
state.

New War Song Don't
Equal Tipperary

British soldiers are using a new
war song. with the statement that
they have grown tired OF the popu.
lar "Tipperarv." The new song
lacks the finer sentiment of Upper
airy, and discloses the recklessness of
seasoned fighters. Its chorus is:
The bells of hell go ting-a-ling
For you. but not for me;
o death, where is thy sting-a-ling.
