State Banks
Show Big Gains

Pierre. April 24.-The state
banks of South Dakota show an
increase of five and half mil.
lion dollars in deposits from the
time of the call of condition Mo-
vember 1915, to March, 1916, the
total deposits for the March call
being S68, 775,O76.66. as against
$53. 229, 226 50 for the November
call. These figures wi h the ma
tional bank deposits estimated at
about the same proportion as
they usually hold to the state
bank deposits would show prac-
tically one hundred ten million
dollars as the deposits of the
people of the state for March
last.
The cash reserves of the state
banks of the same dates show an
increase approximately the same
as that of the deposits, going
from SIS, Sal. 931 at the time of
the November call, up to $685.
722, 07s for the March call. One
item of special interest to depos
itors in state banks in the state
is that of the depositors' guaran-
ty fund, which makes its appear
ance for the first time in the re
port of the banking department,
which at the tine of the March
call amounted to $139, ,2l1.37,
which would be Immediately
available. in case of a failure of
a state bank, to meet the amount
due the depositors in such bank.
with the matter of waiting for
settlement of the accounts of the
bank being of interest to the
guaranty fund, and not the de-
positors.

1916 Baseball
Team Organized

On Friday evening of last week
a few Of the members Of last sea-
sons team gathered at the HER
AID Office for the purpose of dis
|cussing baseball possibilities for
the coming season.
The meeting was turned into
an informal talk fest and each of
those present gave it az his opin-
ion that a team for 1916 was
necessary. II seemed to he the
general opinion however that
salaried players would not be
either necessary or obtaInab'e.
Joe Burgum. one of the Iiyest
wires in the city was harnessed
with the managership and he
has agreed to accept provided
that he will not be asked to f.
nance the proposition.
The players available at the
present time will give Lennon
one Of the strongest teams i'm its
history and no doubt the towns
along the Milwaukee will all take
IF their hats and proclaim them
Burgum's lnvincibles. when the
season closes.
The line up has not been defin-
ately arranged. but those who
will appear in uniform are: Bor-

So Blocks Sidewalks
Ordered Laid

On tuesday evening of this
week, the city commissioners
passed an ordinance which calls
Tor the laying OF 81 blocks of ce-
ment sidewalks. This news will
come as complete surprise to
the citizens of the city. since the
terms OF Office Of the present
commissioners Will expire within
short time and it was naturally
supposed that the sidewalk prop
osltlon would be tabled until the
recently elected commissioners
would take office,
The HERALD, however, is
heartily in favor OF putting in
walks, since the sidewalk issue
mas been agitated in this paper
for some time and the HERALD
Eoeleves that no other thing could
so materially benefit the city as
The proposed five miles Of walks
AS far as can be learned, the
following is the correct outline
of the walks:
Commencing at First s "eat.
four blocks of walks will be built
on each side of Main street.
These walks will be of cemen,
and twelve feet wide, with cross
ings on all corners.
On Second, Third and Fourth
streets, walks will be laid on both
sides Of the street. commencing
at Main street and extending to
Fourth avenue. With the ex
ception of the first half block
which will be twelve feet in
width. these walks will be five
feet wide.
Five foot walks will also be
bu 1t on Second avenue, com
mencing on Second street and
extending to Fourth. This will
be built on both sides of the
street except on the east side of
block 9 and the west eide of block
fifteen.
On Third avenue, tie walks
will extend from Second to
Fourth streets, on both sides of
the avenue. with the exception
of the south side of block 9.
Both sides of Fourth avenue
are included from Second and
Fourth streets.
No walks will be butt on First
avenue. since a large number of
he lots are vacant and the ave.
nre is used verv little.
Block 8 mentioned above is the
schoolhouse square and block Is
is known as the Court House
square.

Seeding Started
During Past Week

During the past week the far
mers have been getting into the
fields and at the present time
seeding operations are in full
swing. The late season last year
bc4lse Of the wet Wea her and
the enormous crop made it i'm
possble to do a great deal of fall
pIowng and this naturally makes
the farmers crowded for time
this spring.
Many Of the farmers have pur-
chased Hg1t tractors for their
s,ring work, however. and this
will assist them materially in
getting in their crops.
The acreage this year will be
the largest siEce this territory
was opened for settlement, and
this, added to the large increase
in the amount of stock raised will
make farming in Perkins and
!, Adams t h e most profitable of
any farming community in the
world considering the amount of
Investment.
Real es ate dealers are still
turning a large numbe, of farms
over to men from Iowa, Illinois
and other eastern states and it is
expected that next year t h e
farming lands in this country
will be at premium.

Country Stiffness

1t seems to me I'd like to 20
Where bells don't ring nor whistles blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don't sonnd
And I'd have stiffness all around
Not real stiffness, but just the trees
Low whisperings. or the hum of the bees,
Or brooks faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or kaydid
Or the songs of birds in hedges hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as these
To fill a tired heart with ease
If 'tweren't for sight and sound and smell,
I'd like city pretty well,
But when it comes to getting rest

Sometimes it seems to me must
Just quit the city din and dust
And get out where the sky is blue;
And. say. how does it seem to YOU?

School Notes

On Monday evening May 1st.
at s o'clock, the trials for the
Declamatory and Oratorical con-
tests will he held at the school
house. The winners of these
contests will go to Mobridge.
May 1lth, at the same time the
field meet is held at that place.
Several students are entered in
these contests, among whom are
Minnie Smith. Della Dahl, Teres-
sa Vayda and Gertrude Buch-
holz who will try for the De
clamatorv. Walton Cole and
Floyd Hall will try out for the
Oratorical. No doubt that Lem
mon high school will carry off
many honors both in field work
and forensic lines.
The trials to see " no are the
best men in field work will be
held Thursday and Friday eve
nings, after school. All those
who have tried out from the first
for these different events have
been gaining steadily every day
over their old records and for a

the relay race, besides the hun
dies, pole vault and high jump.
1t is expected that about eight
men will GO to Mobridge for the
meet.
Baseball will start this week,
and from now until the time
school lets out the boys will be
seen practicing. Up to the pres,
ent time, only four games hpve
been scheduled, two with Bow

but it is thought that the four
games will be all that there Will
be time for to play. The mater
al this year will be of the very
best and many of the boys who
have not played baseball OH the
high school team yet, will try
out. The way the lineup stands
now, we have an excellent IN
