only ten years ago!-you
would have ridiculed the
idea that you would ever be

hundred great pianists IN
YOUR HOME. whenever
you wished, as often as you
wished.
TODAY that idea is a
reality. A hundred artistes
besides Ornstein have played
for the AMPICO. In hun
dreds of homes the music
they played is being repro
duced, day after day, even
ing after evening. Thou
sands of men and women are
hearing better music than
they ever heard before, ex-
cept at the finest of concerts.
Thousands of children are
growing up with memories
of REAL music solidly root
ed in their mobile minds.
And thousands of girls and
boys are practising music
with a definite, high stand
ard singing in their ears. to-

MANI a Soldier Boy

4A~se1 w .
carries in his breast pocket a
picture of his mother, and every
day he looks at it long and low
ingly, taking fresh courage to
meet inconsistencies and hardships
by the sight Of her dear face.
Wherefore, he is more
efficient and worthy soldier, car
rying his mother along with him.
He is more likely to remember
how his mother hated profanity,
gambling and intemperance, and
he will think twice before fall
ing away from his mothers ways
and wishes.
A man may fight under cold
Glory" and keep his health and
place in the ranks, but sink into
a hopeless life by living under
the black flag of bad habits con-
tracted while conscience slept.
This is all equally true of a
careless business life. Store
keepers should not require de-
ceits of any kind to make sales.

There has also been considerable
movement of potatoes from other ad-
jacent states to southern South DakO-
ia. The quality of the crop produced
is very good with the yield placed at
62.6 bus. per acre.
The United States production OF
potatoes is now placed at about
million bushels higher than the esti-
mate made the first OF September, OF
about a total production of $50 Mil
ion bushels. This, for the Nation, is
a very small crop. Last years produo
and that was $50 million bush. less
than the previous year. However tho
five year average is only 366 million
bus. This crop has increased abnor
mally fast in recent years.
Flax: Because of the favorable
weather which prevailed during the
month of September, the flax crop in
South Dakota shows small improve
ment and the yield is now placed at
9.O1 bus. per acre or total produc-
tion of 100000 bus, an improve
ment of about $4,000 bus. for the
State. 1t may be noted that the newer
and more western parts of the State
are not producing their share this
year and this very much cuts down
the State total. However this figure
compares favorably with the 1918
production which was 1, 36S,OOO bus
and is very near the three year aver
age in production.
The United States production of
flax shows about one half million bus.
Improvement over the previous month
due to the favorable conditions which
prevailed. This however, does not Off
set the loss which has occurred i'm acre
age and with the exception of 1917
which produced the smallest flax crop
of recent record, this year. scrop is the
smallest since 1899.
Apples: The apple crop in South
Dakota khen we consider the small
way i'm which it is grown is fair. The
Ua!ted States crop is not so good as
one year ago by % million bus, nor
nearly so large as the five year acre
age.
Pastures: Considering the time OF
the year, the condition of pastures is
generally good and is placed at so pei
cent.
A brief summary OF weather condi-
tions for the month of September as
submitted by the Sectional Weather
Bureau at Huron. follows:
The average temperature thru
out South Dakota during. Septembe,
was considerably above normal. DUR
ing the early days of the month it was
moderately cool but on the 5th the
temperature rose above normal and
continued above until the goth. After
the goth rapid changes occurred from
day to day. The range between day
and night temperature was large. The
average amount of precipitation was
considerably less than normal, the de-
ficiency having been greatest in the
northern counties. In most northern
counties the rainfall was very light.
In few southeastern counties, and
over considerable portion of the
south western quarter of the State.
there was an excess. The greater par.
of the rain fell within the first half
OF the month, but on the 2Sth, ligfs
to moderately heavy rain fell over
most of the State, while in many coun-
ties the rainy condition continued un-
til the end of he monh The sunshine
averaged considerably less than nor

Lyceum Course Offers Good Program


The Lyceum course of 1919-2O will
offer rich and varied program.
Judging by press comments and other
information concerning the talent se-
cured, not any Of the numbers should
be disappointing even tho the audi
ence is accustomed to the best.
Miss Mdgnon Brooke. reader and
impersonator, is splendddly fitted to
Lyceum audiences all that is artis-
tic and truly great In the art Of ex-
pression. Her program will include
cuttings from the best modern plays,
character sketches and comic selec-.
tions. Her experience publicly has
been wide and varied, having appear
ed in many of the largest cities of
America with success achieved only
by those who are artists of the high
est merit
In the Jordan Trio, there is presen-
ted to Lyceum organizations a group
OF artists who have long ago passed
from the realm of experiment into
the ranks of established success.
Concert tours in the American Union,
Canada and British Columbia, as we'll
as in the Island of Cuba have attes-
ted the ability of this company to
please. 1t is primarily musical trio
but the added arts of impersonation
and crayon portraiture which have
been mastered by members of the
company make possible charming
entertainment.
The Chicago Entertainers, con-
sisting of Eva Fitzgerald and Emily
koellner have had five years expert
ence in Lyceum and Chautauqua
work. They are presented as one of
the most versatile and artistic two
people combinations in the Lyceum
field. Their program consists of So
prano solos, humorous and dramatic
readings, piano solos, piano duets and
various musical sketches.
The Knox Concert Company is
composed of four exceedingly high
class artists who have two or more
accomplishments. The program will
include violin and saxophone solos,
vocal solos, duets and readings of ex-
ceptional merit. This company will
satisfy and please the most critical
audience.
Robert L. Kemple's lecture on "The
American Boy will constitute the
last number of the course. This lee
ture has placed Mr.. Kemple in the
front rank Of lyceum favorites. The
Minneapolis Journal commenting on
his lecture says: "Mr. Kemple gave
an unusual type of lecture. 1t is
masterpiece, strong, convincing and
entertaining from the beginning tc
the end. 1t is a lecture with mission,
not only educational but intensely in
teresttng." Mr.. Kemple has been re-
called the fourth and even the fifth
time In q large number Of places.
