THREE POUNDS OF SUGAR
Per MONTH Per PERSON.

Local merchants have received
the new order of the United
States Food Administration linn
itin9 the sale of sugar to three
pounds per month for each per-
son. For some time merchants
not been selling more than two
pounds at one time to persons
in towns and cities. This order
is still in force the new limits all
purchases within a month as
above stated.
This does not apply to sugar
used for canning purposes which
most people signed up for early
in the season. For this purpose
100 pounds will be sold in Is
pound lots, provided a reasonable
time shall elapse between each
purchase.

CANNING WITH SYRUP
INSTEAD Of SU6AR

Commercial syrups may be
used successfully in canning in
stead of sugar. Paul ]. Scarbro,
state leader of boys and girls
clubs, offers the following as Of
ficially recommended for the
summer canning by the U. S.
department of agriculture: Corn
syrups may be used in canning,
the making of jellies, jams, mar
malades and buffers, quite satis-
factorily. However, the flavor is
somewhat different from that
when sugar is used. For this
reason only a small quantity
should be put up at first in order
to determine if the family likes
the flavor. 1t has been found in
canning that corn syrups prove
satisfactory in the canning of
strong favored fruits, such as
pineapples, cherries, etc. In such
the flavor of the corn syrup is
not perceptible. Varying amounts
of corn syrup to sugar are used.
The amount determined will de-
pend upon the tastes Of the fam

Red Cross News

The final total amount raised
by Haakon County for the Second
War Fund of the Red Cross was
$4667.22. The total in our whole
county ran far above the hun
dred million asked for. Our al
lotment as will be remembered,
of $500 was subscribed more
than three times over.
Good crowds were present at

held both at Grindstone and

are wondering if there are good
reasons why all our Philip wo-
men should not give one after
noon of each week to the surei-

complete at least one of the gar

in the midst of a Great War.

We know that the people of
the county are in the midst Of
their busy season. Women are
working in gardens and fields.
Yet we are receiving allotments
of Red Cross work that are fairly

HAAkON COUNTY
NORMAL INSTITUTE
Contributed by
County Superintendent

The Haakon County Teachers
Normal Institute for 1918 closed
Saturday evening, June 29th
after a one weeks session. All
of the regular work was given at
the Philip High School Building,
which was generously donated
by the Philip School Board.
The slogan for the Institute
this year, what to do and how
to do it," was kept we'll in mind
except in three classes. That the
teacher might emphasize the es-
sentials and know how to pre-
sent the same to the pupils en-
rolled in her classes.
The faculty consisted of five
members, Mr.. F. H. Griffen, Sup
erintendent Of t h e Spearfsh
Schools had charge of classes in
General Methods, Civics, History
besides giving several splendid
talks to the entire Institute dur
ing the week. Mr.. L. A. Osgood
of BridQewater had charge of
classes in Drawing, Industrial
Art, Picture Study and Music
Appreciation. Mr.. R. E. Rawlins
Superintendent of the Pierre
Schools conducted classes in re-
view work for teachers first
grade examinations in American
Literature and Physical Geo.
eraphy. Also classes in Physio-
lo9y giving two weeks work in
the one week as two periods con-
tinuous work was given each
day. The work of all three of
these instructors was definite,
interesting and most beneficial
to all those enrolled. We feel
very much pleased to have had
three such excellment instruct
ors.
All of the teachers were de-
lighted with the work given by
Miss Julia C. Stockett, Field Libr-
arian. Pierre, S. D. Miss Stock
EFT gave two lectures each day
one in the morning and one in
the afternoon. The morning lect-
ures were Library Methods. 7"
In the afternoon her lectures
were upon "Childrens Litera-
ture." Miss Stockett gave many
new ideas along these lines in
addition to the regular routine
work. She had with her samples
of the best books to select for
children, for school libraries and
pamphlets which she gave to the
teachers. Every teacher felt
that much was gained from this

work by Miss Stockett who was
an earnest, inspiring speaker.
Through special arrangement
with the Palmer Method Pen
menship Co. we were able to
have for the entire week a spec
ial instructor in penmanship,
Miss C. E. Swensen, of Mime
apolis. Two class were given
daily in penmanship, one explain
ing the methods of how to teach
penmanship and one class show
ing the actual working out of
these methods. Every teacher
was required to enroll in both of
these classes and we hope to see
the benefit of this instruction
throughout the county during
the coming year. All enrolled
were most enthusiastic about
this work. Not only was Miss
Swenson an excellent instructor
in this line of work but was a
great help in many other lines of
work.
The class work began prompt
ly at $50 a. M, Monday and all
teachers entered into the work
with zest which they kept up
throughout the entire week. The
enrolment of the week reached
fifty-five members.
The special events during the
week helped to increase the in
terest of the regular institute.
Tuesday evening the Institute
members and faculty were en-
tertained at the High School
building. AS the teachers gath
cred for the evening they were
greeted at the door and conduct
ed to the receiving line, which
began at the lower stairway and
wound upward into the main
assembly room in two columns.
When the last teachers took
their places in the line the grand
march began and finally ended
by taking them into the Assem-
bly, room where all were seated.
A most interesting program fol-
lowed. AT the close of the pro-
gram the teachers were intro
duced. This was followed by an
athletic contest. The entire in
stitute was divided into five
teams with their respective lead
ers. Each team had their own
colors, yells, etc. The contest
caused much merriment, after
which light refreshments were
served.
Friday evening at the Opera
House the commencement exer-
cises were held for the eighth
grade graduating class of 1918.
The exercises were opened by a
band concert by the Philip band,
their part of the program was
greatly appreciated. This was

Louis f. Swift, in commenting on
this order, said that the order will

100000 hogs, and IL other work was
dropped to produce 1t you'd be equIva-
lent to the total bacon production OF
the five largest Chicago packers for
nearly five weeks, however, six months
will elapse before delivery Is to be
completed. Mr.. Swift said:
AT the current prices OF the day,
last week, when the purchase was
made, the packers would pay the live
stock producers about $SO,OO000O for
the necessary hogs and over 100000
900, for about 100000 cattle required.
"The cattle will cost us twice as
much, and the hogs two and one-half
times as much as In the pre-war per-

The whole order will be made up
before the first of the year, despite the
fact that even before this purchase,

have been devoted to filling military
demands.

CAN'T KILL PARTRIDGE.

out Entire State.

Deputy State Game Warden John
Rough, who recently made a survey OF
the upper peninsula looking over the
partridge and other game bird siuta-
lions states that the outlook for a
large number OF birds when the state
repeats the closed season law, is very
encouraging.
at has come TO my attention that
many sportsmen have the wrong i'm
preston that only certain counties OF
the state will observe the closed sea-
son on cartridges for one year begin
ming July 18th, 1915" said Warden
Rough recently. "The new law, or or
der, applies to the entire state. and
was made under the provision OF Act
8. OF the Public Acts OF 1917.
1.-THE adoption OF the act was the
proper course to take by the states
men, as the partridge were rapidly de-
creasing and 1t would have been only
a short time before the birds in the
upper peninsula would have been az
scarce as the wild buffalo in the west
ern states.
During the past several years the
birds have undergone some very diff.
cult breeding seasons. and II was with
difficulty that any OF the young birds
were able to survive the wet weather,
but this year the weather was almost
ideal for them, and believe that by
the time that hunters are again per-
mitted TO shoot them that there will
be large fiocks OF birds throughout
the upper peninsula woods, where last
season they were few and far between
Those that were killed were lean and
thin, showing the results OF hard win
ters andpoor summer seasons.
"The partridge. during the past
breeding season, have done remarkab-
ly well and in every covey that had
an opportunity TO observe, the young
birds were coming along in an excel
lent manner and promise some good
sport for hunters when the time for
killing them Is again at hand.

note Of the deer situation and found
that these animals are doing better
this summer than for several summers
past. have found in many instances
where homesteaders and farmers in
the scattered settlements have made It
a practice to put out food for the
deer during the winter months, and 1t
has come TO my observance that the
deer in these localities have profited
greatly by the thoughtfulness OF the
people who make their homes in the
woods the year round"
