HARVESTING

This week will see most Of the
wheat in this part Of the county in
shock. and it is probably not any
exageration to say that it 10 the
poorest yield Of wheat the county
has had in twenty years. While
the other crops Of small grain were
not damaged to the extent Of the
wheat damage. the yield Of oats,
rye and barley are all going to Be
light. The corn crop still shows
up promising but it needs ! good
rain, . indeed does al garden
stun. Farmers are estimating their
wheat yislds 1t s to 8 bushels to
tho acre. and some Of the poorest
spots they aasert will not Be worth
cutting. The quality Ia Ill eases

On Yellowstone Trail.

Attorney George Rix last Sat.
urday started out on an auto
trip to the country west of the
Missouri, and sends us a line in
regard to his experience and
condition of the roads along the
route. He says:
We left home Saturday morning,
the party to Groton consistieg of Miss
Doris, Mrs. Rix, Harry DeTunc and
Mr.. CoOns. | was trying to make
Waubay at an average of 30 miles
and did it. East of Ortley we struck
q high culvert. It threw those in the
rear seat against the bow in top, and
Doris got bump on the head, Mrs.
Rix q black eye, and Harry big
bump on forehead and q cut on the
nose an inch long. After getting the
blood stopped we took him to Wau-
bay, where DR.. jenkins put two
stitches in his nose. He took the train
home from Groton, and Doris remain
ed at GrOtOn with our cousins. Mrs.
Rix and l reached Mcintosh all 0. K.
On leaving Mclaughlin we missed the
trail, and finally followed q wagon
road along the railway. We after
ward located the trail to the north,
and made to go over the railway At
q crossing at Walker. There was
q wire fence however, which did not
see and l went plumb through it,
breaking of one of the fence posts
and not fat tire or scra tch OF any
kind. The owner of the pasture may
be hunting his cattle today.
Crops along the route are something
like our own, and in places hardly
worth cutting, till we reached Nc
Laughlin, where crops seemed to be
fair.
The worst road on the trail is from
Aberdeen TO Ipswich. On the whole
route the best road was across Corson
county; the roads there are full width
OF grade, culverts 40 feet long For
Is miles after crossing river at Mo-
bridge-in Indian country-roads
we're very rough, and we made scarce
ly ten miles an hour-the MILESTONE
hill is tame in comparison to some OF
these grades.

A Hundred Years OF Growth.

The common is the wonderful
What more wonderful, ii We will but
think of it, than this American
spectscle-a hundred million people
educating themselves? They select the
directors provide the teachers, write
the text books, build the schoolhOuses

the money.
They repeat the tabled feat OF the

up On IL
II democracy had done nothing else,
it would be sufficiently justified by
what it has done IN the last hundred
years to build this marvellous edifice-
our common school system.
A hundred years ago there we're
schools for the common people Ia
only half the country. They are now
pro vided IN every state in the union
and in every district of every state.
A hundred years ago there was
little or no provision for the educa-
ton OF girls outside the home. Now
the schools and colledges for girls
equal in standered and equipment
those for boys.
A hundred years ago the common
schools taught the three Rs-''reading'
'ritin, and 'rithmetic.' Now the
curricula Of our high schools equal
those of our colleges then.
A hundred years ago the higher
education was confined to Greek,
Latin, and mathematics. Now the
equipment for teaching science, both
theoretical and practical, 10 not in
feri0r to that for teaching the hu.
manities.
A hundred years ago the student
bodies in our biggest colleges were
not - large Is the faculties in the
same colleges now.
A hundred years ago there were
three learned profess ions-law,
medicine and ministry. Now every
vocation is . learned vocation.
A hunsred years ago much agri-
culture and mechanicle industry was
drudgery. Now all industries are
becoming arts.
A hundred years ago the teachers
IN our public schools wefe generally
unframed; pedagogy was unknown.
Now every state has its normal school
A hundred years ago education was
purely academic. Now Industrial
education receives equal honor with
academic education aad is rapidly
acquiring equal endowment.
And this has been accomplished by
. democracy without common hera.
tage, . common creed, . common
tradition, or IN established church;
common but human aspira-
ttqn and liberty TO attempt the Impos-
iblQ.
What remains for us to do-besides
couAtinuing and improving what We
have done? Two things:
t1es informstion: 10 eeachirr ls.9,ns r;vas
po1er.
And to training Of the mind add
training OF the body and training Of

ANDOVER POLICEMAN KILLED

.ANDOVEK POLlCEMAN KILLED
The dastardly character Of many
of the floaters who are travelling
around as harvest hands and "indust-
rial workers" may be judgd from
the deliberate killing Of Dan A..
Passage, the Andover policeman
last Friday night, the account of
which is as follows: Passage tried
to stop a hold-up at the Milwaukee
depot at Andover Friday night and
was shot by one Of the participants,
the bullet going clear through the
abdomen.
After being shot, he walked alone
to the hotel where he told Of the
accident. All available medical aid
was given the stricken man at the
hotel and then he was taken to
Aberdeen on Milwaukee passenger
No. 3, Saturday morning.
When the account Of the shooting
was told at Andover, q large band
of cities went out to search for the
man who did the shooting, but no
trace Of him could be found.
The report given out of the affray
was to the effect that Passage was
making his usual rounds Of the city
at about midnight and was turning
a corner by the Milwaukee depot
when he ran against three men be-
ing held up by two others. Pass
age attempted to arrest the hold
ups when one Of the two poked q
receiver in his face Passage kocked
the gu out Of the hold-ups hand and
was about to reach for his own re-
volver when the other shot him.
The first shot missed its mark but
the second tore through Passages
abdomen.
The deceased leaves q wife and
one son and one daughter.
