FINE ADDRESSES TO AGGiEs

urged them to cultivate a good, up
right character-to build their char
acter from the ground up, somewhat
after the fashion of a piano,-grand,
upright and square.
Willis L. Johnson, pre%sident-elect
of South Dakota State College, stated
that the time is passed when a man
can fail in everything else and make
a success of farming. He analysed
farming as a real business, which in
wolves capital-producing, buying and
selling. How many farms yield eight
per cen interest on capital invested
and pay a good wage to the farmer?
Mr.. Johnson divided the solutions for
agricultural problems according to Sir
Horace Plunkett-better business for
farming, better farming and better
schools. In connection with future
plans, Mr.. Johnson suggested the fol-
motto, Here is the place, 20
build State College"
Prof. Clinton Wiseman, who is now
in charge of the School of Agricul-
ture, gave a short talk concerning that
department. He included the follow
ing facts: School of Agriculture was
organized at South Dakota State Col
lege in 1908. Practically 1900 young
and young women have attended
this school. Fifty counties in the
are represented this year, and
also surrounding states. One hundred
ane ninety-three in school this year
war decreased the attendance, especi-
ally that of the graduating class. Two
hundred and thirty students is a five
year average. Objects of the School
of Agriculture are particularly to give
the girls practical instruction in home
economics and the boys practical in
struction in agriculture.

Start In a Long Way.

We reached Canton at six o'clock In
the evening Of a beautiful summer
day. I went at once to call upon the
Dunkelbergs and learned from a man
at work in the dooryard that they had
zone away for the summer. How
keen was my disappointment! l went
to the tavern and got my supper and
then over to Ashery lane to see MI
chael Hacket and his family. I found
the schoolmaster playing his violin.
snow God be praised-here ID
Bartw he exclaimed as he put down
his instrument and took my hands
in his. T've heard. my boy, how
bravely we've weathered the capes an
I'm proud o. ye-that / am"
I wondered what he meant for q
second and then asked:
"How 60 these days with your"
"Swift as the weaver's shuttle" he
answered. '"Sit you down, while I call
the family. They're out in the kitchen
putting the dishes away. Many HANDS
make light labor"
They came quickly and gathered
about me--a noisy, happy group. The
younger children kissed me and sat on
my knees and gave me the small news
OF the neighborhood.
How good were the look Of those
friendly faces and the full-hearted
pleasure OF the whole family at my
comingt
What a Joy for the spare roomr'
exclaimed the schoolmaster. "Sure I
wouldn't wonder II the old bed was
dancin' on Its four legs this very min
ute"

SUMTER SOLID
FOR LOCAL TAX
FOR EDUCATION

cover the top" for local school tax,
was the record of the Shiloh and Con-
cord school districts which voted on
the proposal Friday at special cleo
tions. The vote in the Shiloh dis
trict was unanimous for the tax and
in the Concord district the issue
passed with safe margin over the
necessary two-thirds. The proposal
was defeated in the Shiloh district a
year ago by about half of the total
vote cast going against it.
'This puts Sumter county entirely
on local tax basis, except one small
district, the Williams district, which
does not have school all of the time"
said County Superintendent McMath,
who was enthusiastic over the result
because of the high interest taken by
him in the issue. Some fifteen dis
tricts in Sumter county have adopted
the local tax since he became super
intendent two and half years ago.
Previous to that time only nine dis
tricts had local tax.
The local tax permits the individ
uaI districts to levy special taxes for
school purposes to meet their own
needs, enabling them to pay suffi-
cient salaries to attract competent
teachers, and to make whatever i'm
provements may be needed. 1t has
been a forerunner Of consolidation,
which is declared to be the greatest
impetus to education the South has
even seen, bringing the high school
to the doors of the rural inhabitants.

MOVE BEGUN FOR
PEACE With ALLIES
New Socialist Govern
ment Formed, Presid-
ed Over BY Peidll

VIENNA, Aug. l. Friday - (By
Associated Press) Bella Kun, Hun
garian communist DICTATOR has re-
signed and has been succeeded by
socialist government, according to
a telephone message from Budapest.
On receipt of news from the front
that created CONSERVATION lin Buda-
pest, Bella Kun at a meeting of the
Soviet Socialist, turned pale, and
with his back to the wall cried:
Every well, if you demand it, |
must resign. l made the best fight
l could"
Capt. Thomas C. Gregory, United
States Food Administrator in this re-
gion is credited with a barge share
in Fastening Bella Kun's retirement.
Capt. Gregory arranged tonight for
food relief for Budapest.
1t is stated overtures for peace
with the Allies will be made by the
new socialist government.
Bella Kun has been furnished safe
conduct by the Allies and is expected
to seek refuge here.
Peace overtures have been made
by Jacob Weltner, president of the
soldiers and workers soviet of Hun
garia. Arriving in Vienna from Buda-
pest, Weltner asked representatives
of the Allies to recognize the new
government and treat for peace.
The new Hungarian cabinet is pre-
sided over by Jules Peidll, formerly
minister of peoples welfare in Count
Karolyn's cabinet.

FIREMEN'S KEEN
SCENT PREVENTS
BIG COTTON FIRE

The keen scent of members of the
fire department picked up Friday
night as they were sitting about
their headquarters preparing to re-
tire, saved what probably otherwise
would have been a disastrous fire IN
the L. G. Council cotton warehouse.
Catching the odor of burning cot
ton Chief Naylor sent several of his
lren out with search lights to inspect
the neighborhood. Shortly the alarm
wSs rung and the department. hurried
to the warehouse, where smoke was
pouring from every crack, although
no blaze could be seen.
Knowing the tendency OF enclosed
cotton to burst into flames in a flash
en- exposure to outside air, the hoses
were all attached and in position for
instant action before the door was
opened When the opening was made
the heavy smoke pouring out nearly
suffocated the men, but luckily no
blaze still appeared, and the origin
of the smoke was sought. 1t was
quickly located in a pile of waste
cotton, which painters who had been
working about the premises had used
to wipe their oily hands and brushes
and thrown into corner where spon-
taneous combustion had occurred.
The pile was blazing and it was re-
ported that the flame had reached
within 6 inches of a bale of cotton
and that delay of few minutes
more would have resulted in the
whole interior, containing more than
thousand bales being in flames.
