THRIFTY BOYS
They Take Cans from A Dump Heap
i'm Cleanup Campaign.

Fort Dodge, la, May 12.-Pro-
moters Of the tin can campaign got
quite a jolt, when it was discovered
that the boys in their anxiety to have
the largest pile had made recourse to
the city dump heap. Cans long ago
deposited were brought up from
their resting places. They were de
posted in piles in prominent parts
of the city. Neighbors objected and
this contest that started out so brave
ly to beautify the city was almost
ended in a riot.
Club women had promised prizes
to the boys who collected the most
tin cans. The boys found it easier to
raid the dump than to collect the
cans around alleys, as planned by
the cleanup promoters.

THE SALOON ISSUE
FIGURES IN THEIR FAVOR COM
PILED BY. THE WET
FORCES.

Sioux Falls, May 12.-Political
mathematicians who have been com
piling data since the recent city cleo
tons in South Dakota TO discover
from the drift Of public sentiment
and the chances for and against
South Dakota remaining in the anti
prohibition column at the general
election in November, have complet-
ed the compilation of the figures.
The figures as compiled from Of
fetal returns, when carefully analyZ-
ed, they declare, indicate that it by
no means is certain that South Da-
kota will enter the dry column in
November, as has been assumed by
some after a survey Of the returns
from the annual municipal elections.
This assumption was based on the
fact that the drys gained a dozen or
more towns at the April elections.
The compilers of the figures have
secured the total vote cast in 104 of
the cities and towns which voted on
license at the April elections. Ac-
cording to the census returns the 104
cities and towns have an aggregate
population Of 142,902. From this
total vote the vets secured a major
ity of 1,450 votes.
Basing the forecast on this ma
jority and the aggregate population
Of the 104 cities and towns as com
pared with the total population Of
South Dakota, the compilers sof the
figures say this indicates that not
w~ithstanding claims to the contrary,

Informal opening of the chautau-
qua lake grounds took place late yes

ing the grounds are being assembled,
and work is to be started next week.
The work Of electrifying the resort
grounds will be started just as Don

next week. The cafeteria has been
opened, and has for its patrons fish
ermen and other visitors. II is eX-
pected that the hotel at the lake will
be opened about June /, and that
Mrs. Angie l.. Williamson will again

single Vote SHORT
MAJORITY RESULT GOES
AGAINST CONSOLE
DATED SCHOOL.

BY a margin Of n vote, the seven
school districts in the southern part
of the county lost a consolidated
school.
The question consolidating the
seven district schools into a single,
large school, to be built in Orland
township, a central location, was
voted on last Wednesday. Although
a large majority voted in favor of
the consolidation, the change from
the district schools was lost, as there
was just one vote lacking the three
fourths majority, required by law
Seyenty-nine voters favored the con
solldation, and twenty-seven cast bal
lots against it. The voting was done
at the Orland township school.

CLOSING DAYS OF

LARGEST JUVENILE PICNIC IN
HISTORY OF DISTRICT Will
BE ONE OF FEATURES.
NOTED SPEAKER ENGAGED
COMMENCEMENT MAY 2:5-SEN-
IOR CLASS MAY 2i-CIASS
SERMON AND PLAY.

Among the social activities which
are to mark the waning of the pres
ent term in the city schools. and
which are expected TO go a long way
toward making memorable the pres
ent semester, will be a picnic to
which all the pupils OF the various
city schools will be invited to attend.
1t is predicted that the outing will
eclipse, in point of numbers, at least,
any similar event for children ever
held in this section of the state.
The tentative date set for the pic
mic is next Wednesday, May II, and
it is estimated that if the day is a
bright one at least 700 little folks
will attend.
At Nearest Lake.
The picnic will be held at Lake
Herman, owing TO the difficulty that
might be experienced in conveying
the pupils the longer distance to
Lake Madison. 1t is intended TO
take as many pupils as possible to
the scene of festivities in borrowed
automobiles and horse drawn We
hicles. If necessary, boys i'm the up
per classes will be able to walk the
mile and a half to the lake. The
pupils will probably report at the
high school at about 10 o'clock on
the morning the picnic is held.
Teachers Will be invited to accom-
pany their classes. 1t will be the
first picnic of the combined schools
ever held in Madison.
The Graver Side.
While admittedly not so pictur-
esque as the picnic, events which will
be of considerably more seriousness
TO those in the upper classes, will be
the closing exercises of the term. ar
rangements for which have Just been
completed, and all of which will be
held in the high school auditorium.
The graduating class sermon will
be preached at 8 O'Clock Sunday
evening, May 21, by Rev. G. ID.
Brown, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. Tuesday evening. May
23, is the date set for the class play,

of Miss Brown"
The eighth grade graduating exer-
cises will be held Wednesday even

twelfth grade students will be held
at 8 o'clock on the following even
ing, May 25. Leslie w. Sprague, at
present residing in Sioux Falls, will
address both the eighth and twelfth
grade graduates. Mr.. Sprague will
speak to the eighth grade students
on The Shield Of Education and
THE Battle of Life" His topic for
the commencement exercises is The
Plain Duty Of Man" Mr.. Sprague is
a we'll known c%hautauqua speaker
and has had wide experience in city
social work in large eastern cities.
Exercises Are Free.
With the exception Of the class
play, admittance to which will be 35
cents, including reserved seats, all
Of the exercises will be free to the
public. Children in classes below

Mothers DAY
OCCASION WILL BE OBSERVED
IN MADISON SUNDAY-NOW
NATIONAL INSTITUTION.

THE love of a mother is never eX-
hausted. 1t never changes. 1t never
tires. 1t endures through all; i'm
the fact of the worlds condemnation,
a mothers love still lives on
Washington Irving.
In Protestant churches generally,
reference will be made next Sunday
to Mothers day, which, being the
second Sunday in May, falls on that
date.
Although since the days of Presi-
dent McKinley's tenure Of office,
when the president wore and sent
carnations each spring, in honor of
his mother, Mothers day has been
more or less observed, ii did not be-
come a national institution until a
few years ago, when congress pro
claimed the day a national one, by
public resolution day for moth
ers, "the greatest source of the coun-
try's strength" Since then the pres
ident has proclaimed the day each
year, and requests have gone forth
to place flags on public buildings
that day.
Being a day Of sentiment, sugges-
tions at this season are circulated in
the land, that the mothers through
out the country be not left in doubt
as to the feeling of sons and daugh-
tiers. 1t is urged that on the day
flowers. letters or calendars be sent
to mothers, and that flowers be
worn AS a buttonhole bouquet,
white carnations are usually given
the preference, but colored carna-
tions, as we'll as other species of
flowers are frequently worn.
The verse, For mothers at home,
flowers bright; for mothers mem
DRY, flowers white" never has been
adopted literally, it is said.
The following churches will take
notice of the day: Methodist Epis-
copal, Baptist, United Lutheran, Sy-
nod Lutheran, Presbyterian. Rev.
Mr.. Gwynn, rector of the Episcopal
church, will hold services next Sun
day at Howard. He will make refer
ence to the day there.
