HAIL STORM
REDFTELD PROPERTY DAMAGED
BY HAIL AND WIND.

Redfield, Aug. "a. - About 1
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon one Of
the severest hail storms ever expert
enced in this section passed over the
center of the city of Redfield, doing
considerable damage to window glass
in particular. Corn in the surround
ing country a slightly damaged,
but the greater loss is from window
lights. The storm covered a stretch
three and a half miles long by a mile
wide. with Redfield apparently in the
very center of the storm. The hail
stones were very large and the storm
continued v a period of an hour.
Miles greenhouse had practically ev-
cry light of glass in it smashed. The
Northern hospital for the insane and
the high school building lost many
lights. While corn is flattened in a
small area around the city, 1t is be-
lieved that it will straighten up.

MOVING PICTURES
TYLER DEVASTATED AND IN
RUINS - DEATH TOLL
MOUNTS TO 33.

You have all seen scores of pic
lures of devastated French and Bel
gian cities after the invasion of the
Hun or their bombardment. On a
smaller scale, the same scene was de-
picted in the little Danish town of
Tyler, Mimi, about 20 miles north
east of Sioux Falls on the Northwest
ern railway. With a population Of
1000 people, a tornado swept
through the northeast portion of the
town, razing or destroying nearly so
buildings. Something less than a
dozen business structures remain,
but the spirit of the people, the HUI
man touch of helpfulness that was
displayed by the hundreds who flock
ed from the neighboring towns at
word of the disaster, will never be
forgotten.
The picture of this disaster will be
shown at the Imperial. Watch for
the date.

RED CROSS WORK
NEW ORDER OF WORK IN THE
SEWING DEPARTMENT.

Our work in this department has
been delayed somewhat on account of
the allotment for July and August
not reaching US until the last of July.
This allotment was most all new
work SO models had to be made for
some of the garments before the
work could be sent out. This has
been done and now we are ready for
work in earnest. Monday we will
work on comfort kits and boys
shirts; Tuesday and Thursday, pa
jana coats and helpless case shirts
b.; Wednesday, helpless case
shirts "B" Friday, comfort kits and
boys shirts. We may have to change
this order of work later on. 1t will
upon what we receive for our
next allotment. We have not had a
very good attendance lately, but hope
the ladies will be through with the
canning and picking by this time and
will return to the Red Cross work.
We need your help in getting our al
lotment back to headquarters as soon
as possible.-Chairman General Sup

THE STATE NORMAL
CLOSE OF SUCCESSFUL SUMMER
SCHOOL YESTERDAY.

The most successful term of sum-
mer school in the history of the Nor
NAL closed yesterday Don The to-
tai number enrolled for the two
terms was 149 as against 108 for
last year, an increase of 3S per cent.
For a number Of years DR.. Heston
has been working tirelessly with the
view of making the summer school
an integral part of the school year
and 1T is gratifying to him as we'll as
his colleagues that his efforts are be-
ing rewarded with substantial re-
suits.
Many expressions of appreciation
We're voiced by the students for the
summer school for by means of ii.
they have been able to secure credit
on their courses and may now con-
tinue their actual work of teaching.
The applications for rooms in the
dormitory for the coming school
year are the largest on record for
this time of year and more are COM
ing in each day. Practically all
rooms have already been taken. II
is a noteworthy fact that the attend
ance in the Normal school proper
not including the training school was
los greater for the school year end
ing June 80, 1918, than for the pre-
ceding school year ending June 80,
1917. In every other state educa-
tional institution in South Dakota
there was a decrease in attendance:
the anne has been true quite gen.
orally throughout the country.

MODERN HOSPITAL


More and more Madison is coming
to realize the need of a new, COM
modious, modernly constructed hos
pital thoroughly equipped, with room
sufficient for the accommodation of
patients who are constantly coming
to this city for surgical and medical
attention. The building now in use
Is far from being adaptable to hos
pital uses. 1t lacks both space and
equipment and the time is not far
distant when, coordinate with the
growth and expansion of the city and
the increase in the population in the
territory adjacent. greater hospital
facilities will be sorely needed.
A modern fireproof structure con-
tanning such up to date features as
are generally considered essential in
progressive centers would be a credit
to the city along with Madison's ex-
cellent graded schools, her numerous
well built churches, old established
banking business and expanding lines
OF trade. A modernly built hospital
contains a system of perfect ventila-
ton. a scientifically equipped operat-
Ing room, a model laundry, sufficient
light. 1t also has rest rooms, recep-
ton rooms. sun parlors and offices.
The plan now on foot to provide
Madison with the kind of hospital re.
CURED is meeting with success, since
about $4,000 has already been as
sured for the undertaking. The arch
itect's drawing now in the hands of
the proper committee shows a build
ing of neat design and of dimensions
commensurate with the needs of the
community.
OF course war conditions now pre-
vailing will retard immediate con-
struction, but the interest can best
be kept alive by realizing our needs
and planning to help the project
along just as soon as the war is over
and material and labor are procur-
able.

ally they are the ~jolliest bunch of

in WAR SERVICE
STATE LAW RELATING TO ABSENT
VOTING OF SOLDIERS.

At the special session of the South Da-
kota legislature, held in March, a law was
enacted relating to absent voting by those
engaged in war service. County Auditor L.
F.. Hartwich calls attention to the provisions
of the law which require county auditors to
prepare a record of all qualified electors who
are residents of his respective county, and
who are absent from this state and engaged
in the naval or military service of the United
States. In order to complete this record as
provided by law, Mr.. Hartwich calls upon
residents of the county who have relatives
and friends in the service to furnish him the
names and present address and date of birth
of such men that they may be enrolled &C.
cording to the requirements of the statute.
1t is necessary that this information be
furnished the auditor at once, as the ballots
to be used at the approaching election must
be mailed on September l.

Weather and CROPS
BUREAU GIVES ENCOURAG-
ING REPORT OF CROP
CONDITIONS.

Huron, Aug. 24.-The summary of
weather and crop conditions in South
Dakota for the week ending August
20, is as follows:
The average temperature of the
week was somewhat above normal,
with no extremely warm weather. At
the beginning of the week it was
rather cool. Moderate to heavy
showers occurred during the week,
and in some localities, especially in
the southeastern part of the state,
these were rather frequent. Sun
shine averaged less than normal.
Stacking and threshing grain were
interrupted to a considerable extent
by the showers, but when practicable
this work was pushed vigorously.
The yield of grain is generally re-
ported to be good to excellent and
the quality good to excellent except
that wet weather is causing some
grain to mold. with consequent de-
terioration, in some southeastern To-
calities. The weather of the week
was generally favorable for crop de-
velopment. Potatoes, gardens, mead
ows and pastures are reported to be
doing well. Stock is in fine condition
and much of it is ripening. The
week was favorable for corn which is
in very promising condition. The
crop advanced rapidly during the
week and it's stage of development is
considerably ahead of the average.
