] II. is demanded that vol teach agri.
culture in your schools and there Is
no better way to start than to have
each pupil select a farmer from whom
to obtain seeds. Have them bring a
sample envelope full of seeds to school
and then show them how to test them
in blotting papers. 1t would be well
to privately test this method before
showing it to the children SO that you
will be sure that you have every detail
of it correct.
The crop Improvement committee OF
the council Of grain exchanges, Chica-
go, will be glad to mall a complete
tester with full directions free to any
teacher or person in any county for a
two-cent stamp. You can make your
W or order them if you want to have
the directions all alike.
Everybody is invited to join in this
seed testing campaign. Farmers
bankers, millers, grain dealers who
are friendly to the introduction of agri-
culture in the schools. can do no bet
ter service than to furnish each school
with these testers. 1t will be worth
thousands of dollars to any county to
undertake it Systematically.

MARQUIS A REARpLEss wHEA1

MARQUIS A REARDLEss WHEAT.
Marquis is a beardless spring wheat
with hairless greenish white chaff and
a hard red kernel. When pure it
closely resembles the old Fife wheat.
1t grows to a medium height ranging
from % to 48 inches according to
season. Marquis is generally two to-
four inches shorter than other wheats
in the same neighborhood. The heads
are short but generally well filled, vary.
ing from 2h to 4 inches in length
which is about one-half to one inch
shorter than other varieties.
The short straw is stiff and stands
up well. While it will not withstand
hafl yet cases + mentioned where
other wheat went down badly in driy-
ing rains mixed with sleet and MARQUIS
came through all right.
Marquis IS an early variety ripening
sometimes in ninety.eight days, the
average being about one hundred and
fifteen days. This makes it three 81
four days earlier than most of the
other varieties.

BELLS OF PEACEFUL.

Upon the frosty midnight air
A burst of music swells,
The clear resonant melody
OF countless booming bells.
Around the world the mellow notes
Their changing flight pursue
To speed the passing of the old,
And welcome in the new.
The Old Year goes across the SHOWS.
Al soldier lean and hard,
Fierce famine in his hollow ayes
And on his features SCARED.
His back is bent with loads of loot,
His .bayonet is red,
His garrnens reek of battle-smoke,
His comrades are the dead.
The glad New Year comes marching in
Ger hill and valley, 10!
He spreads a smooth and dazzling
sheet
OF pure unbroken snow,
And pointing To the virgin scroll
He bids the nations write
everlasting armistice
Upon Ats surface white.
OF silver bells that RING and swing
And t~ing-aiing and chime.
Play taps above the grave Of war
For all the years Of Time.
Bring I'M the era when the strife
OF III and man shall cease
And turn the sword into q pen
ToSWrite the pact of peace.

From School for the
Deaf at Sioux Falls

(The editor of The Saturday News
requested a mutual friend to ask a
Codington county student attending
the School for the Deaf at Sioux Falls
to write a few lines concerning his
studies, with a few words with refer
ence to the routine, etc., and the ap-
pended is the result. The student in
question is Il son of Mr.. and Mrs. e.
/. Lampy, formerly residents of Dex-
ter township, but for several years
past living in this city, since Mr..
La1npy was elected to the position OF
county auditor and later became an
examiner in the state accountant de-
partment. Friends of Royal will read
with interest his contribution. 1t
seems that he has been working in the
printing office, the institution being
equipped with a small printing plant,
but he thinks he will turn his atten-
ton to dairying. His language and
the general formation Of his sentences
indicate that he has had excellent
training.-Editor.)

the dairy business. l might like it
better than printing.

TROUBLESOME WEEDS
MiIIers Do Net Care to Handle Wheat
Which Contains Weed Seeds Which
Are Hard to Separate. Damage
Would Be Much Less If Farmer.
Should Fan Their Own Grain.

The greatest care must be exercised
If wheat fields are to be kept from
weeds such as bind-weed, cheat,
cockle-bur, etc.
1t is practically impossible to elm.
mate bind-weed from the soil once
1t has become established. 1t gets
it's start from seeds introduced in
grains of various kinds. 1t spreads
by mean Of underground stems OF
root-switches which grow eighteen or
twenty inches below the top of the
ground and send up shoots which
make new vines. These vines Irvine
around and over whatever may be
within their reach and in the case of
plants, usually smother them out. The
bind-weed resembles the morning
glory but differs from the common
morning glory of the corn field
in having white flowers usually
and leaves shaped like an arrow head.
Seed of smart-weed is often found in
grain after it is threshed. These seeds
are not easily separated from wheat
and for this reason millers do not r
to handle wheat that contains seeds
of this weed.
What are known as peas in this
territory are an Internal nuisance to
the miller.

81 doubt he continued. whether
the churches could make the motion
pictures successful enough to warrant
their taking them up, but have often
wondered whether the city couldn't
subsidize a playhouse. You know, we
eXpend money for skating Kinks and
things like that, and / am not sure
but that we might also devote a little
money to plays and playhouses, under
proper Restrictions"
Mrs. Einar Johnson, responding to
a request for a few words, said that
she believed it absolutely necessary
that provision be made for furnishing
proper entertainment for the children.
S, x. Way said that the movement
under discussion should not be allow
ed to die out. He hoped it would be
pushed through to a successful con-
clusion.

at Train Bandit and
Narrowly Escapes

Many readers of The Saturday
News enjoy the personal acquaintance
of the John Beath family, who reside
near Hazel, S. D., but whose home for
a few years was Colorado, and they
will read with interest an account OF
an encounter that Neil Beath, a son,
had with a train robber between
Omaha and Sioux City.
Young Beath was returning from
Colorado when a bandit entered the
train and commanded the passengers
to throw up their hands and then or
dered a passenger to commence TAX
ing up a collection for the especial
benefit of the hold-up artist. The
robber had a mask covering his face,
Young Beath, it appears, stepped
into the vestibule behind the robber,
comprehended the situation at a
glance, and, drawing a revolver, COM
manded the robber to put up his own
hands. Without turning, the robber
whipped his revolver under his arm
and fired at Beath, the bullet crash
ing into the glass close to Beath's
head and sending fragments OF the
broken crystal over his face, cutting a
cash above the eye. Beath then open
ed fire, emptying his revolver at the
bandit, who, finding a fight on his
hands, grabbed the collection which
the passenger had taken UP, smashed
the nearest window glass and jumped
through the window, making his es-
cape, but dropping most Of the cash
in his haste to get away.
Passengers who saw the man es-
Gaping think that one of the Beath
shots took effect in some portion OF
the mans anatomy, as indicated by
the fellows gait as he fed.
Passengers, it is said, during the
brief fusillade, ducked beneath seats
on every hand, and felt greatly reliev-
ed when they realized that the am.
munition on both sides had become
exhausted.

MUsIC's UNIQUE QUALITY.
Wherein 1t Differs From Sculpture,
Poetry and Paintina.

Wherein II Differs From Sculpture,
Poetry and Painting.
Music finds its perfection in itself
without relation to other objects. It
is what 1t is in itself alone. 1t Is non
definitiye; 1t does not use symbols Of
something else; 1t cannot be translated
into other terms.
The poet seeks always a complete
union of the thing said and the method
of saying it. Flaubert seeks patiently
and persistently for the one word
which shall not only be the exact SYM
Dol Of his thought, but which shall fit
his euphony.
The painter SO draws his objects, so
distributes his colors and so arranges
his composition as to make Of them
plastic mediums for the expression OF
his thought, and the greatness Of his
picture depends first of all and inevi-
tably on his power of fusing his sub
jects with his technique.
In sculpture precisely the same pro-
cess takes place. Neither of these arts
actually copies nature. Each "ar
ranges" it for its own purpose.
In music this much sought union of
matter and manner is complete. The
thing said and the method of saying 1t
are one and indivisible. 1t is, as Pater
says, 4the ideal of all art whatever.
precisely because in music It Is i'm
possible to distinguish the form from
the substance or matter. the subject
