give dash, the athletic girl will add the

CIVIL TOWNSHIP
Movement in UDorganized Townships to
Organize and Incorporate Civil
Township.

A movement has been started by the
residents Of the unorganized townships
D and 6 south, range east, and 5 and 6
south, range east, for their incorpora-
tion in one civil township At theregu-
lar meeting Of the Commercial Club
Wednesday evening the movement was
given endorsement, and in fact there
appears TO be no opposition in the terri
tory affected to it being brought to a
successful conclusion. Those active in
pushing the matter state that the main
object is to secure better roads, as under
township organization they will have
the full amount Of the road fund money
derived in their territory from the regu-
lar tax assessments, for expenditure
under their own supervision. A petit
tion will be prepared and circulated and
then presented to the Board of County
Commissioners, asking the creation of
such township as given above.
The name of Alexander has been sug-
gested for the new township, but has
not been adopted.

HORSES WILL BIZ IN

DEMAND THIS YEAR.
Owing to the war the demand for ives.
tern horses has been larger than ever
before during the past year. During the
latter part Of the fall, the demand SEEM
ed to have at least partially subsidized
but according to Ed. Love, of the Miles
City Horse Sales Company. who by vir-
tue of his position with that organiza-
tion, one OF the largest handlers of
horses in the world, is recognized as an
authority, the market for these horses
still continues, and there will be many
chances to dispose of them in the
spring
Buying has temporarily stopped, not
because the British and French do not
want horses or haven't the money TO
pay for them, but simply because they
cannot secure ocean transportation for
them. In the east they are predicting
the war will last two years more, or AT
least calculation one year, and there
will be a big demand for horses all over
the west in the spring. There are plen-
ty of contracts to be secured right now
with the foreign agents. Rapid CITY

$40 ACRE BILL
Congressman Gandy's Opinion Some Feat
ures of Bill not Applicable to
Western South Dakota.

Writing from Washington to his own
paper the Wasta Gazette, Congressman
Candy furnishes the following interest,
ing information concerning the proposed
GAO acre homestead law. The subject is
ore in which a great many people in
western South Dakota rs well as in
other states where there are large tracts
Of the public domain are Interested, and
the following article explains very clear
ly the status Of the matter at the pres
ent time
The GAO acre grazing homestead bill
has been introduced by Congressman
Ferris, Of Oklahoma, chairman Of the
Public Lands committee The bill is
identical with the section homestead bill
which passed the House at the last ses.
sion Of Congress but which did not come
to a vote in the Senate.
THE bill was originally framed to be
Just as liberal as possible with the west
and yet conservative enough to meet
the views of the congressman from the
east, who by virtue of the large popula-
ton in the east, are in very large ma
jority. 4 homestead entry of 6IO acres
is permitted with the provision that in
lieu Of cultivation, permanent improve
ments to the amount Of $l.25 an acre
shall be placed upon the land within
three years from the date ofentry, which
improvements shall tend to increase the
value OF the land for stock raising pur.
poses. Commutation proof is not per
mi'ted.
For those who have already filed on
land Of the kind and character contem-
plated by the act, the following provi-
sions are made: The entryman who has
not made final proof and the entryman
who has made final proof but still owns !
and resides upon the land may each |
take such an amount Of adjoining land |
as will make $40 acres That in the |
event there are no vacant lands contigu-
GUS to the original entry the additional |
entry may be within a radius of ten !
miles and shall be subject to the same
provisions as the contiguous additional
entry. That any entryman who is un-
able to secure additional land under
either of the provisions, above mention.
ed, may reliDQuish or reconvey his land
to the United States and be eligible TO
take a section anywhere else within the
same land office district A preference
right OF thirty days, after designation of
lands as being subject to entry under
this act, is allowed to the eutrymen or
on adjoining land. 1t is pro-
vlded that this act shall apply only to
nou-miEeral lands which shall he issued
hereunder shall contain a mineral res

"The ten mile Limitation clause was

was the storm center of the

ofthe Interior is openly against

regard to certain things Gum chewing
may be all right and we are not advising

FAVOR CONsTITU-
TIONAL AMEN MENT.

The Lead Call says that the commits,
sioners of Lawrence county will take an
active interest in promoting the passage
of constitutional amendment to permit
Of state aid in the construction of roads
through South Dakota. Under present
constitutional conditions, the legislature
has not the power to appropriate funds
for the purpose and believing that the
people Of the state are in favor Of the
proposed amendment, the commission
ers believe the next legislature can be
induced to such action as is necessary to
put the matter of the amendment up to
the people at the following election.
Many states found themselves similarly
situated when the question Of contribu-
tion to road building confronted them,
bu. in most cases they have overcome
the difficulty by constitutional amend
ment The recently formed association
of county commissioners of the state is
pronouncedly in favor of the move and
will give it hearty support

How limpets Stick.

Every one is familiar with the saying ito stick like limpet." but there are not so many who know how it is that limpet is able to stick as it does to the rocks upon which it passes its eX iStence. The creature is able, by means of the central portion of it's body, which can be raised independently of the edge or frill which surrounds it, to create a vacuum, much in the same way that piece of soft wet leather can be made to adhere to a smooth surface by pressing out all the air. Thus the so called strength of the limpet is largely due to atmospheric pressure. 1t is not entirely so, how ever, for if they are closely examined it will be seen that the shells accom- modate themselves around the edges to the surface of the rock upon which the limpet is located. and if removed to another spot the elge of the shell will probably be found to be very bad fit and the creatures power of adhesion somewhat leSsened. Ii taken by sur prise with smart side.Ong blow even q large limfet is easily enough dis lodged; but, given the slightest warn ing, its power of suction is instantly brought into play, and very often con- siderable force is then necessary ere it can be detached.-London Mail.

Taninu the Mink.

The United States department of agriculture is making experiments in domesticating the mink. Well, here's luck to it's efforts-but heaven help the poultryman who tries to rear his chickens near that experimental farm. The mink has fur as fine as the most exacting lady could desire, but his dis position is as bad as that of a VilIista bandit, and he has at least as much cunning. He can dig his way into any inclosure not made of brick. stone or concrete. He loves blood as well as a weasel. He has q perfect genius for evading traps, and he can conduct his depredations so skillfully that for months and even years they will be laid to other marauders, and only the closest observers will know that there is a mink in the neighborhood. The manor the department-which un- dertakes to tame such a creature has a large self confidence.-Chicago Jour nal.

Censured Presidents.

Twice has president been censured, once by the senate and once by the house of representatives. Jackson was censured by the senate for violation of the constitution and laws in the re- moval of government deposits from the United States bank. After three years of protest the resolution of censure was expunged from the journal of the sen ate.
 Tyler was censured by committee of the house for his improper veto of the tariff bill of 1S42. He protested. but as senator he had voted against Jackson's protest, and the house sent him q copy of the senate resolution against the reception of Jackson's pro- test
