WEATHER and CROPS
TEMPERATURE BELOW THE
NORMAL THE PAST WEEK.

Huron. June An. f. Blystone.
government meterologist, gives the
following report on weather and crop
conditions in South Dakota for the
week ending May 20:
The temperature during the past
week averaged considerably below
the normal. and light frost occurred
several mornings. The frosts. how
ever, caused but little damage. Rain
fell over the entire state during the
week. and in the southern portion.
especially the middle southern por-
ton, it was heavy and interrupted
farm work considerably. While not
badly needed the rains were general
ly beneficial. In the northeast,
where the rainfall was light, more
rain Is needed. Conditions were gen
orally favorable for all small grains,
alfalfa, meadows and pastures.
These crops made good growth and
are i'm promising condition. Corn
planting was well advanced by the
end Of the week, and much corn was
up. The weather was too cold. how
ever, for this crop and for garden
truck TO grow rapidly. Potatoes are
coming up and generally look prom
ising. Considerable flax has been
planted. Stock improved greatly.
Fruit is in promising condition.

Registration is no bar to enlist

CLASS sermon
TO NORMAL GRADUATES LAST
NIGHT-RAIN INTERPRETED
WITH SERVICES.

In the high school auditorium last
night the class sermon for the grad
uating class of the Normal was de
liyered by Rev. H. w. Minish, pastor
of the First Methodist church. The
attendance was good. but the threat
ening weather had both deferred
some from coming, and caused others
TO leave after being present some
time.
The services were opened by a solo
by Mrs. c. II. Il. Hoyde. Dr. J. w.
Heston read the scripture lesson, and
Rev. r. l.. Palmerton offered prayer.
Rev. Minish spoke on the subject
of The Larger Life" selecting his
texts from both | and III Timothy.
He made the subject especially ap-
plicable to those whose schooling was
Just ending and who dated their in
dependent lives from this commence
ment. Life is not wholly what we
get or take out of it, the speaker as
serted, but is also that which we put
into it. Even of the abundance of
the enjoyment one may have it is not
appreciated nor wholly felt unless
one puts effort and endeavor into it.
Life is something greater than Just
the mere matter of living. To enjoy
all there is in life there must be
much more than mere animation.
Many of the beauties of sight, feeling
and thought are lost to those who
not cultivated the taste and APP
probation for things of the higher
sorts. This cultivation is only got
by effort, Rev. Minish said.
Constant and unremitting endea-
vor is a great part of life in its high
er sense. Success is the attainment
of the endeavor. But the world is
likely to look upon only n thing as
the mark Of success, and should not
so considered. 1t is better to look
forward to clear thinking and the
appreciation of the good things of
the world than on material gain.

THE LADY AND THE DISHRAG
Woman Does Not Realize to What
Depths She Sinks Herself by Using
Popular Expression.

When n woman declares that she
feels like a dishrag" she is dragging
herself down to the lowest level of
still life. We doubt not from the per
sonal appearance of that handy ar
ticle of domestic utility that If my
life existed at all in said rag it could
not possibly fall lower or feel meaner
However, woman should never offer
herself in comparison with so de-
graded an object for the simple rea-
son that mankind spurns the dishrag
most vehemently, and as woman
exists solely for man she should not
seek to lower herself In his esteem.
When a rag takes up Its duties In the
dishpan 1t has reached the tag end
of abandoned hope. the climax per-
haps of a merry life. A dishrag might
have been a lovely lady's hose In Its
palmy days, adorned by a silken gar
ter and surrounded by costly lingerie.
But it Is not of its past that l speak.
1t is of its present social standing, Its
vulgar environment and its utter
self-abandonment. IT'S true that you
may feel fatigued to a limp and loppy
degree, but never can you feel so
utterly wretched and beyond redemp-
ton as a dishrag.-Zim, in Cartoons
Magazine.

deep with it.
And there was a new element. He
had thought, nj first, that he could fight
down this love for Sidney. But it was
increasingly hard. The innocent touch
of her hand on his arm, the moment
when he had held her in his arms after
her mothers death, the thousand small
contacts of her returns to the little
house-all these set his blood on fire.
And it was fighting blood.

The Versatile Manchurian Farmer.

In the early fall In Manchuria, the

leader. He passed from the head Of
the country's armies to the head Of its
government, and as president did
much to create and permanently es-

cidence of the suns rays is such that
they are reflected downward to the
windows of the buildings north and
west of the monument, and the cool,
gray surface is seen to be marked with
II shining lines Of gold.
Theoretically. a similar effect could
be obtained from some point Of OBJ
servation at each moment when the
suns rays are intercepted by the slop-
ing top Of the monument, but only an
airship could attain the necessary
vantage point.
To protect the monument from light
ming the men of science agreed on q
number of iron bands, heavily galvan-
lied and gold plated to prevent rust
ing. The bands are connected with
the aluminium point of the monument
and the framework of the elevator, and
at the base iron cables lead the cleo
tricity into a deep well, where it HARM
lessly expends its force. The protec-
ton has proved to be perfect.-Youth's

CHAPTER XVI.

To Harriet Kennedy, Sidney's sentence
of thirty days suspension came as a
blow. X. broke the news to her that
| evening before the time for Sidney's
arrival.
The little household was sharing in
Harriets prosperity. Katie had q
helper now, a little Austrian girl
named Mimi. And Harriet had estab-
lished on the street the innovation of
after-dinner coffee. 1t was over the
after-dinner coffee that K. made his
announcement.
"what do you mean by saying she Is
coming home for thirty days? Is the

She looked as if she had seen a ghost

Miss Harrison is worn out" Doctor
Wilson said brusquely. Get some
one to take her place"
But Carlotta rallied. After all, the
presence of this man in this room at
such a time meant nothing. He was
Sidney's friend, that was all.
But her nerve was shaken. The thing
had gone beyond her. She had not
meant to kill. 1t was the boys weak

revenge into tragedy.

Then she exchanged ii for n of the

again. In their hands they held the
keys, not always of life and death per

ness, of smooth pillows, and cups of
water to thirsty lips. In their eyes,
as in Sidnry's, burned the light of serv-
ice. The supper room was filed with
their soft voices, the rustic of their
skirts, the CLEAN of their stiff white
caps.
When Carlotta came in, she greeted

TIPPED WITH GOLD
Few People Know the Purpose Of
Bands at the Apex Of WASH

"EW persons who have seen the
- Washington monument, even
those who have lived within
sight of it all their lives, have
noticed that the apex of the monu-
ment is surrounded with parallel
bands. Such Is the fact, however;
and moreover, the bands are studded
with golden points. The bands are
made of gold-plated iron a foot wide,
and the points are spaced a foot from
one another.
For a moment in each sunny day
of the first week of the new year the
golden fillet that binds the brow Of
the Washington monument Is visible
