finest music that has been heard
in this city for seVeral weeks. The
mill has been closed down ever

day afternoon and the machinery
was run for a short time to see
that everything was all right and
this morning it went To work with
a fun crew for the seasons run,
and it is hoped that the company $
roubles are over for this season.

water closed the mill down and
the Panhandle Lumber Company
at Spirit Lake heard of it they
sent telegram to Mr.. Kroll ask
ing that all the skilled laborers
be sent over there, where they
would be put to work ON the night
shift. AT the same time a prom
ise was made that the men would
be returned at amy time they were
wanted. Tuesday Mr. Kroll sent
a telegram asking that the men
be sent back at once. The PAN
handle Lumber company request
ed that they be allowed TO remain
luntil Saturday night to afford an
opportunity to I'LL their places.
Mr.. Kroll had lost all the time
he could afford to and insisted
that the men be returned at once

There are two or three more con-
Meeting roads the city should become
interested in to complete the system
in all directions. II necessary to have
this work done the business men or
Commercial Club should take it up.
A joint movement by Beadle and
Jerauld counties will make a road
from ,Wessington to- washington
Springs. A like movement should be
started between Miller and Gam Val
ley. Part of this road is already
graded.
Miller now has graded road connec-
ton with Rec Heights on the west,
Washington IN the east, Orient and
Rockham to the north, in addition to
side roads in the county. A Miller
Gam Valley road would add consid-
erably to the system, especially since
a proposed concrete road from Gam
Valley to Kimball was lost in an adj

Let Blue Grass Go to Seed
To Get Rid Of Dandelions

The only sure method to remove
dandelions is to give the rest cure to
your lawn or rather to your lawn
mower. If you do not cut the lawn
for at least two years, or at most three
years, the blue grass will have a
chance to seed. In addition, do not
tramp on the lawn more than is abso-
lutely necessary. AS a result the
grass will get so strong that 1t will
crowd out the dandelions.
When cut too often the roots of
the blue grass are starved and lose
their vitality because they do not re-
ceive the plant food, which is manu-
featured by the leaves. The only way
to strengthen the roots is to leave the
tops alone. However, public opinion
is SO strong that the advice will pro-
badly not be followed. This is stat
ed as a demonstrated fact and you
can do as you like in this matter.-N.

South Dakota State College.

CROWDS ATTEND
: 5th ~CHAUTAUQUA
Annual Outdoor Entertainment At
tracts County People

Hand county's fifth chautauqua held
a very successful FIVE days session at
the court yard park last week, and
attracted crowds of people afternoon
and evening. After five years Of this
class of entertainment 1t may be safe
ly concluded that 1t satisfies enough
people to make it a financial success,
which justiies It's creation and con-
tinuance.
The talent furnished was from the
Ridpath- Vawter bureau, and while
not particularly famous, was of good
clean character. The one distinguish
ed speaker of national note was for
mer Congressman Cyclone Davis, a
picturesque character of the southern
plains. Some twenty years ago he
c~ampaigned this state when popul-
ism was in flower. Since then he has
represented a democratic Texas dis
trict in Congress. His speech on the
war, its cause and origin, was we'll
received.
Some local interest was added to
Saturdays program by the appear
nee on the stage of a former Miller
girl, Miss Frieda LaViness, who resid-
ed here some years ago with her
brother Fred Evarts. Since then she
has completed a course in vocal music
and is now travelling as a soprano
singer on the Chautauqua circuit,
with a choir OF five ladies and four
men. She was well received by the
large audience and generously ap-
plauded for her very pleasing work.
She was accompanied by her mother.
Perhaps a strong feature of attrac-
ton to the county chautauqua is the
outdoor, or tent meeting, where
people go and come with an entire
absence of formality, but with per-
feet order. And the county park is
an ideal place for holding such meet
ings. quiet, shady, and yet close to
the business district for shopping, for
hotels, restaurants, r~efreshment
stands and conveniences of the city.
The Chautauqua is apparently grow
ing In popularity, as it is becoming
q feature in the life of almost every
town.

GrasshOppers at Pierre
In the Alfalfa Fields

Pierre, June 26.-The warnings of
the agricultural college that the COM
ing of warm weather and heating of
the earth on newly cut alfalfa fields
would bring out the new crop of grass
hoppers is being fulfilled. They are
coming in swarms, little fellows as
yet, but very hungry, and some of
them have begun to invade gardens in
this part of the country. The method
of destruction used at present is pois-
on on the plants in the infected gar
dens, and this appears to have its eff
feet on the vanguard of the hopper
army, and it is for the later a
to tell just how much damage they
will do for this year, and whether
they will " a wider range of coun-
try than they did last year.
