this class, although some roughs and

this discrimination a wider spread in

rough heavy kinds may be expected
to sell fully 81 lower than good

rain in Hills
BLACK HILLS SECTION RECEIVES
PLENTIFUL RAIN.

Lead, June 5.-The ecent rains
were general over the Black Hills
district, and covered the agricultural
communities to the north and east OF
the black Hills, doing untold good to
growing crops. The entire district
had experienced hot and dry weather
for two weeks or more and rain was
badly needed, SO the heavy downpour
in all sections was timely.
The rains were of special benefit
to the Black Hills proper, where veg
citation was suffering for moisture,
the dry condition also tending to in
e the danger from forest fires.
For a number of days before the
rains swept over the Hills the forest
rangers in the two national forests of
the Black Hills had to exercise the
greatest vigilance to prevent serious
forest fires. Several such fires broke
out and got good starts in the dry
u~nderbrush, but in each case the for
est rangers and other fire fighters
were soon on the scene and the fire,
were extinguished before they had
swept an extensive area. Owing to
the heavy rains it will be a number
of days before there is further dan
ger of forest fires.

CLASS PLAY
SENIORS OF THE NORMAL IN
THE END OF THE BRIDGE"

The senior class play, 1.-THE End
of the Bridge" a simple story of pro-
fessional romance, presented by stu
dents of the Madison State Normal
to a well filled auditorium last eve
ming, created favorable comment for
those who were responsible for its
great success. Feminine traits were
almost entirely negligible as the
young ladies, in fashionable male at
tire, acted their respective parts with
pretty conceit and admirable imper-
sonation.
Mrs. Verda Billings was the COM
plete exemplification of a rather cold,
asture nerve specialist whose equa-
nimity not even mirth could pune
ture. In her case, as DR.. John Gar
rett, suggestions and flltrations OF
love from Joan Mannering, the pa
tient 'cured" of nervousness and
mental arrangement, broke down the
sustained reserve and cancelled the
trip to Germany.
Miss Arlowene Sheldon, with the
debonair air OF a successful young
attorney, played the part of Felix
Marriott superbly. With all her"
legal adroitness she never got SO far
as to annul DR.. Carrots marriage
though her interest in Peter nearly
separated that young man from his
master. Miss Sheldon has dramatic
talent hat should be further trained.
Miss Dorothy Bandy, im%personat-
Ing Peter, the impressionable and
general favorite of all, filled the role
with a real boyish simplicity. Her
attire, her conversations, her man
nerisms, all were the product of great
effort in practice, yet assumed with
ease. The point is, Peter could smile
and laugh, and eventually forced the
doctor to do &C. As a kid" Miss
Bandy was thoroughly kiddish.
Ordinarily, and to friends who
know her best, Miss Esther Schultz
Is as strong minded as can be imag-
lned and N a hardly realize that
she could so completely exhibit forms
of mental arrangement such as befell
Joan Mannerlng, whose counterpart
she was. DR.. Garrett easily fell be
fore her entlcements and entirely for
got TO have his friend, Lawyer Mar
lott, secure a divorce.
Miss Florence Northrop. as the
Dickering Ludwig Strauss; Miss Eliz-
abeth Shannon, the impersonator of
Mary Stanley, the nurse, and Miss
Helen Krug, who played the part of
Bartell, the butler, all sustained the
proper pofse of the assignment. Miss
Krug ELECTED much amusement on
the part of the audience by her for
NAL entrances and regulation sa-
laams. Her wig and attire bespoke
'Eenglish with emphasis.
The play was a great success and
the inspiring piano selections be-
tween acts kept everyone interested
and happy.

Truth About the Desert.

The French. who have been the
greatest explorers Of the desert. have
corrected many false ideas about the
desert. The most conspicuous and
persistent of these errors has been
the notion that the desert Is a vast
area of sand. The French have
proved that this Is not so. In fact.
only about a fifth of the Sahara Is
covered with sand.
The greatest desert 10 the world Is
about as large as the United States
and Alaska together. The sand areas
in the desert are somewhat larger
than Alaska; sDd the rocky table
