ballot, they took q vote. The work
Of promoting the comfort and con-
venience of the farm home received
an overwhelming majority of the
votes.
That. then, is one of the things that
the department Of agriculture IL try
ing to do In aid Of the farm popula-
ton Of this country. In order to do
the work i~ntelligently. the depart
ment needs as full information as
possible as to how the farm homes
Of the country are equipped for COM
fort and convenience.
Another Way to Help.
Every farmer will be asked how
many acres of drained land he has
and how many other acres of land
there are on his farm that could be
made suitable for cultivation IL they
were tile-drained or dltch-drained.
When these questions are asked you.
remember that they are asked every
n Of your neighbors. Possibly you
have a tract Of land that would be
the most productive field on -FOUR
farm IL you could get the surplus wa
ter out of 1t. but you can not do ii
because, to be effective, the drainage
ditch would have to go far beyond
the borders of your own farm, would
have to be a county enterprise, and
the county has not seen fit to do any
thing about it. Ii that be true, several
of your neighbors have land that
should be drained. If all of you tell
the census enumerator how many
acres you have that need drainage,
the department of agriculture will
have the facts to show what is needed
In your community. When the oppor-
tunity offers. 1t win be In position
to do what 1t may to secure for you
what you need.
Those things are fairly typical of
the questions that will be asked In
taking the agricultural census. In
order to answer all OF the questions
fntelligently. the farmer will have to
think about the matter a little before
the enumeration calls on him. He ought
to give the enumerator the most accur.
ate information he can. What the indi-
vidual farmer tells the enumerator is
likely to benefit any number Of other
farmers. 1t is not too early now to
get the facts straight in your mind.

Dante-Dante was the scene OF a
frontier days act when q man APP
peared in one of the pool halls and
demanded all to throw up their

armed the bandit and hurled him
through the front window.
Howard-At a special election in
the st. Mary's consolidated school
district. near here. bonds of $4,000
were voted for the erection OF a new
consolidated school building. The
school. which was established only a
short time ago. already has an en-

Avon-Samuel Goring, OF this
place, will likely lose the sight of
q eye as the result of a football
game. Goring played for the Santee
Indians against Springfield normal

to get him by kicking him In the

Brookings--Tuesday marked the
opening or the 41st year since Brook
ings was founded. The city was
founded and named on October il,
1879, being n of the first cities to
come into existence In the northeast
ern section Of what now Is South
Dakota. The 10th anniversary was
suitably observed by many Of the res
idents.

ford bulls ever paid at the state sales
pavilion in Mitchell was paid when
Beau Banner, owned by c. r. Ray

Vermillion-Buyers of potatoes
and apples in bulk from cars or other
sources should insist upon receiving
full measure. is the statement of the
state inspector of weights and meas
ures issued from his office here.
Thousands OF bushels are now being
sold from cars. and unless they are
sold by weight II is very easy for the
buyer to receive up to 10 per cent

Pierre-Whether diking along
streams can legally be done by the
county authorities is a question
which the attorney general has ruled
upon by holding that the general
drainage act is broad enough to cover
this and authorize 1t, although bikes
are not specifically mentioned in ii.
Consequently in communities where
dikes are needed along streams this
work can be carried on through the
same authority as the drainage feat
ures require.
Mitchell-Sheriff Roy Langley left
for Grand Island, Neb., to get q Ford
car, stolen last week during the farm
ers' union meeting. The car, which
belonged to r. 8. Miller, Dante. was
parked 81 the west side Of the court
house. and was stolen while Mr.. Mil
Ter was attending q session OF the

who escaped about that time from
the reform school at Plankinton, APP
propriated the car. The message re-
cotved from the sheriff at Grand
Island said that two boys. in the car,
are being held there.

LAKE PLACID, N. Y.

T AXE PLACID, N. Y, Sept. 90
Lake Placid is to become next
- season more than ever a leading
golf centre. The four, splendid courses
in use here were so filled with en-
thus,astic players this summer that a
search for a new course within easy
distance OF the village was instituted.
The result was that Frank A. Everest,
proprietor OF the Whiteface Mountain
House in the village of Wilmington.
thirteen miles from Lake Placid, has
offered TO. give free a tract OF 500 acres
OF cleared land If sojourners at Lake
Placid will assume the expense Of laying
out the links.
The tract, which is well adapted for
the purpose, is at a considerable ele-
walton above Wilmington and COM
mands a magnificent view of Mount
Whiteface and the valley Of the west
branch of the Ausable River. This tract
and another also available in the same
village will be inspected by James Shea,
who is interested in the matter, and the
tracts will also be gone over by Sey-

like to give IL up. In fact, she isn't
going TO give 1t up.
Then there is Millicent Rogers, who
will have a progressive debut-in fact,

parents, Col and Mrs. III. II. Rogers,
are really New Workers., who pass
their summers at Southampton, but
in the last few years they have been

like 1t. since they have bought house.
Millicent really made her bow at
Southampton this summer, where her
parents had some wonderful parties
for her. and she will be formally pre-
sented early in the winter in New
York. But the family Is likely to
spend considerable of its season in
Washington, and Millicent win be pre-
scented here as well.
There is considerable tentative list,
beginning with Miss Cornelia Wander

probably have a progressive debut, in
New York and Washington. and pos

to give a joint ball during Christmas
week for Nancy and her particular
chum, Frances Hampson, who is also
to make her debut this winter. So
that before the first of the year Nancy

It Is fair to assume that IL the Ed

next winter Mrs. Doheny may also be
assisting at that function, and may
do some entertaining for Miss Frances,
since Mrs. Hampson and daughter
have been having a perfectly wonder
ful time this summer cruising with
Mr. and Mrs. Doheny on their yacht
Cassandra, and stopping Off for a Sc
ries of visits at sundry cities along the
Atlantic coast.
Miss Anne Gordon I'm List.
Then there is Anne Gordon, Mrs.
George Barnett's younger daughter,
who really is choosing a much better
season for her debut than did her sis
ter Leila, who came out last season.
Gen. and Mrs. Barnett are Just back
from Santa Fe. where they went that
the General might receive medal
