Their CROPS GOOD
MORE NATURE CORN In WEST
ERN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre. Sept. 27.-A review of the
torn situation over the state at the
present time indicates that the north
ern and western part of the state will
harvest more mature corr this year
than the southern and eastern part.
This on account OF the weather condi-
lions Of the season. The central and
western part of the state vas thor
oughly soaked for the spring. and the
hot weather OF June brought corn
along rapidly. and the heavy rains of
July helped to force the crop. The
dry, warm fall has been just what
was needed for maturing corn. In
the southeastern part. while there
will be a large crop, the late rains
have kept the corn green. and the
changes are not so good for its ma
turing before frost. But every dry.
warm day means a long step toward
development Of a corn crop all over
the state. but the dry weather OF
late August and the first half Of Sep
TENDER in the west has put the crop
farther along than In the section east
with heavy fall rains.

Big GAME HUNT
SIOUX FALLS MEN ENJOY SPORT
IN MOUNTAINS OF
WYOMING.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 27.-Dr. A. Zet-
turned from a very successful hunt
ing trip in the mountains of Wyo-
ming, where they killed all the elk
the law allows. They brought back
and presented their friends some
choice steaks and roasts. During
their hunt they penetrated some of
the widest sections OF the Rocky
mountain ranges, going to points
rarely reached by hunters. They al
so enjoyed some excellent trout fish
ing.
They went by train to I.ouders.
Wyo., where they took an auto and
drove 100 miles into the mountains.
Here they had to abandon the auto
and go by wagon and proceeded 60
miles further in this manner. Then
they took pack mules and rode IL
miles up among the lofty peaks of
the Rockies. At this point they spent
nearly a month hunting and fishing
The main object Of their trip was to
reduce flesh and improve their phys
zeal condition, which they succeeded
in doing.
In the mountains they encounter
ed quite a little rain and some To-
and frost fell several times while
they were there. During the day
time 1t was very hot, but the even
ings were extremely cool.
At Casper they visited the grea.

the First South Dakota cavalry is in
training, news stories descriptive of

That the boys are delighted with
their camp has been indicated in the
few dispatches that have been pub

home folks. Rainy weather since
their arrival has been the principal
drawback. Heavy training has not
yet begun. the men thus far devotine

HER LIFE WORK LOST BECAUSE
HER WILL WAS ILLEGAL.

In an article in the May Woman's
Home Companion on the Importance
of making your will properly Clyde
Scott Stillwell says:
"In a little city IN the Middle West
Miss Anne Prentiss, a retired school
teacher. lived in a coy little apart
ment. By hard work, through many
years, she had saved $4,000, which,
carefully invested, yielded her 81, 900
a year. Her pleasures were few and
lived with her, and the two old ladies
in the apartment upstairs she would
play cribbage on Saturday nights.
The four old ladies were ve1v goo
friends. To her friend, ard house
mate. Miss Prentiss had bequcatheA
$4,000 in her will; the balance of the
$40, 900 she had divided among her
Ifavorite neDhews and ~nieces, taking
special care that none of the results
of her life work should go to her
worthless and dissolute brother. The
two ladies in the apartment above
were witnesses to the will.
Zone night. over an especially ex-
citing game of cribbage, the four ole
ladies quarreled, and the following
Saturday when Miss Prentiss called
lup the dumb waiter to invite the two
friends down they replied that they
would never play with her again
Whereupon Miss Prentiss decided thai
it was not safe to have these two as
witnesses to her will; so she crossed
off their names and got two other wit
tnesses, n of them her house-mate fol
whom the $4,000 was designed.
"In due course Miss Prentiss dice
and was gathered to her fathers. The
friend presented the will at once fol
probate, and then the tragedy broke
The substitution of the two witnesses
had not been made in legal form, anc
the entire $4,000 went to the disso-
lutte brother.
"The whole purpose of Miss Prem
ftiss's life was defeated, because Miss
Prentiss tried to do for herself what
a lawyer would have done for her at a
luettV cost"

Mime. LAMBERT, TEACHER Of MUSIC
Piano, Organ. String Instruments.


Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways OF
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion ear be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. Lessons in whole or
divided courses. All missed lessons
must be made up-no excuse. Think
and be prepared ahead means business
on both sides.

LATEST FEATURE BOOKINGS
AT THE STRAND THEATRE

Mr.. Cal. Zimmerman, who is always
on the watch for the best Attractions
for the patrons of the Strand Theatre,
this week received word from the
Lewis j. Selznick Film Corporation
that they have booked him two of their
biggest successes, Clara Kimball
Young in "The Common Law" and
Norman Talmadge in "Panthea."
"The Common Law" will be shown on
Wednesday. May 10th, and "Panthea''
on May 23rd. Mr.. Zimmerman has
been negotiating with the Selznick
Corp. for some time to secure their
productions and has finally been sue
cessful. These pictures are the high
est priced pictures on the market to-
day, but owing to Mr.. Zimmerman's
aim to give his patrons the best on the
market and pictures that will always
please, he refuses to let the price of
any picture worth while stand in his
way, and should certainly receive the
support of the local people.

ALL MEN ARE DIVIDED INTO
TWO CLASSES.

In the May American Magazine a
writer says:
"All the world of men is divided in
to two classes-caretakers and pro-
motors. The most important decision
a man can make in his business life
is to determine in which n of those
two classes he belongs.
Really, | have come to believe that
at least half of the sorrow and failure
and heartache in the business world
ome simply because men won't rec
ognize that law. Square pegs in
round holes-what are they? Just
promoters in caretakers' jobs, that's
all-or vice versa. Brilliant subordin-
ates who fail utterly in business on
their own account? Simple enough.
They are caretakers-splendid, effic-
lent, successful caretakers; and they
get the wrong idea that they are
meant to be something else. A great
big business suddenly begins to stag
ger and fall apart, and everybody
wonders why. But apply the same
law, and it's easy. Too many promot-
ers, or too many caretakers-not the
proper working mixture of each.
alexander was a promoter of the
first order; he conquered the world.
But where were the caretakers, to
conserve and consolidate and solidify?
They just weren't, that's all; and AL
e%Xander's empire fell to pieces almost
before his ashes were cold. A few
hundred years later Caesar conquered
the world, and his empire stood for
generations. Why? Because Au-
gustus, one of the great caretakers of
history, followed Caesar"

VITAGRAPH BLUE
RIBBON FEATURE
Special Attraction at Strand Theatre
Wednesday.

Lucille Lee Stewart and William
Courtney have attractive roles in this
story of small town bigotry and cast
ing your bread upon the waters. Ruth
Blake is the village belle, and when
she befriends the handsome stranger
from the city, pleading with him ag-
ainst his black-sheep ways, the jeal-
Gus Buddy Bryson, a half-wit hand
about the place, and the gossipy pro-
clivities of some of the village mai
dens who have been unsuccessful in
securing a man for themselves, COM
bine to make the path of true love be-
set with obstacles.
Of course we know, when Ruth sings
to him the powerful sacred song, "The
Ninety and Nine," that this black
sheep is coming back into the fold
sooner or later, but it does not spoil
the charm of the story, which is in its
simple and straightforward unfolding
of the regulation sympathy-compell-
ing factors. the opposition of father,
the stunning of Ruth by the village
folk. and the harboring of the black
sheep by Ruth against her fathers
expressed command. Several strong
scenes p%unctuate the rocky road to
love. When Ruth refuses to attend
the barn dance, and the half-wit re-
ports to her father that the black
sheep is trying to blacken his own
home, and when Abner Blake rushing
home finds the suspect has concealed
In Ruth's W room, his rage knows no
bounds. and Ruth is ordered away.
Then Tom follows, and we have a sue
cession of powerful scenes, including
the picturing of the murder which
Tom has been falsely accused of, and
finally, as the big thrill, the sudden
sweeping over the town of a forest fire
that threatens to consume the entire
village with its thousand inhabitants,
women and children terrified and with
the only chance for succor in securing
an engine to carry them away. Here
the hero commanders an engine from
the man we knew was going to be the
william, and a thrilling dash is made,
Ruth firing the engine that brings the
aid to the stricken populace just in the
nick of time. "The Ninety and Nine
is a well balanced story of pathos and
thrill and with the double star cast is
sure to please all classes of audiences.
The religious touch is deep and sin
cere. but not o%verdone. Clean, whole
some, effective-women and children
will especially enjoy.

buttered toast and keep it warm.
Another nice way OF serving egg is
to beat the white until stiff, heap it
on a piece of buttered toast, hollow
out the center and drop in the yolk,
sprinkle with salt and bits of butter
and set in a hot oven to set the egg.
Rice Soup.-Scald a cupful of milk,
add one and three-fourths tablespoon
fuls of well-washed rice, cook in a
double boiler, add a ~teaspoonful of
scraped onion or onion juice, a stalk
of celery, a bit of bay leaf, and salt
and pepper to taste; add to the soup
when strained. Chicken broth may be
used instead of milk; add a table
spoonful Of cream before serving.
Milk Albumen.-Put the white of an
egg in a pint jar with a half cupful of
rich milk and a pinch of salt, shake
until well mixed.
Beef Broth.-Cut two pounds of
round steak into cubes, remove skin
and fat. Put into a kettle with some
beef bones, with a quart of cold
water and heat gradually to the boil
ing point, but do not allow it to boil.
Simmer for two or three hours, add
ing a little salt. Remove the fat after
cooling, strain and reheat.
Chicken Broth.-This may be made
from the bones of a leftover chicken
or from the wing tips and a little
water, making a small cupful of broth
by adding a little cream.
A well-beaten egg stirred into any
broth just before serving, adds great
ly to it's nutritive value. Serve broth
with toast points or croutons.
Cereals, to be served in gruels
should be cooked in a double boiler for
several hours, strained and sailed
lightly, then cream or milk may be
added.
