MADISON CITY
HIGH SCHOOL
ENROLMENT In PROGRESS FOR
OPENING SEPT. g.

Over 200 pupils had enrolled in the
high school by noon today. A num-
ber of pupils have been turned back
to the public schools by the state nor
NAL which congMts conditions of the
seventh and eighth grades, however,
the courses of the seventh and eighth
grades have been adjusted to accom-
modate all. The teaching force will
be on hand with a complete line up
on Monday morning at 8 o'clock,
when the first assembly of the high
school will convene. Pupils in the
will gather at the buildings on Mon
day at 8 O'Clock when numbers and
adjustments of classes will be made
of the congested conditions which
will doubtless exist 1t may be nee
essary to dismiss pupils part of the
day giving the teachers ample time
to make preparation for full and ef-
ficient days work on Tuesday A
new method of enrolment in the
high school has been instituted which
which will minimize the changing of
courses materially. Textbooks will
be furnished by the school board, a
new system of letting out text books
having been devised to give more
careful check in the book system.
With the coming of Minnie Brott of
Chiliicothe, Mo-, an opportunity for
taking some lessons in art will be eX-
tended to high school pupils VINO
seem to show talent along that line.
1t is hoped that this may have the
beginning of an art course permanent
in the high school. Miss Brott will
supervise drawing and penmanship
in the grades and junior high school.
Sewing and cooking have been intro
duced in the ninth grade. Five dis
tinct types of program have been
outlined for pupils in each of the
four upper grades. V. A. Lowery, a
graduate of Perdue University has
arrived and taken charge of the ply
sical training of the school for boys
and Mrs. Tillia Kirk will supervise
the games of the girls. Because of
the inconvenience and loss of time
introduced by transferring pupils,
the fifth and sixth grades in manual
training and sewing will be super
vised in the grade buildings by the
high school teachers in these sub
jects.

Makes Ruling
On Taxation

Pierre, Sept. 4.-There appears to
be considerable difference of opinion
in counties of the state as to the stat
us of state lands sold in relation to
taxation the year the sale is made.
On this the attorney general holds
that the lands are not subject to tax
alton until after the actual title has
passed from the state, and this gen.
orally takes several months after the
sale date to complete.
The sales are always in March and
April, and the transfers are not COM
pleted until after the assessment date
for the year of the sale and there can
be no assessment for such year.
This issue has been raised in re-
gard to hail insurance on crops put
in the year of purchase, but, under
the law, hail insurance can only ap-
ply to taxable lands, and there could
be no state hail insurance on the
lands so purchased of the state fol
the first year after purchase.

ROCK DR|L[|NG
TO Be FEATURE
NOVEL EVENT TO BE STAGED AT
LEAD LABOR DAY.

Lead, Sept. 4.--One of the most
novel features connected with Labor
Day celebrations in South Dakota
will be a rock drilling contest which
is to be staged in this city by expert
drillers in the employ of the famous
Homestake mine.
Few of the residents of even this
county can remember of ever having
seen a double-hammer drilling con-
test, an affair in which skille strength
and determination win. Such a con-
test will be one of the features of
the Labor Day celebration in this
city.
The unique event probably will be
staged in front of the grandstand in
the baseball park. 1t will be one of
the most interesting contests on a
long and excellent program of sports.
Since power drills have come into
universal use in all the mines of the
country, there has been but little use
for hemmersmen, as they were pre-
viously termed, and 1t is only occa-
sionally that their services are called
for, so the art of polishing the head
of drill is rapidly being forgotten,
and only few of the old timers yet
know how to do ii scientifically.
Although their old-time expertness
is not used to any extent at all i'm the
mines of the Black Hills, still there
are men who can put down many feet
of holes in a day in the hardest OF
rock, for hitting a drill is like swim
ming--it is never forgotten when
once learned.
When the contest Is called at the
baseball park there will be several
teams fold-time experts TO respond.
and those in attendance will be treat
ed to one of the most thrilling exhi-
bitions of skill and strength OF the
day. Teams now are practicing for
the contest.

CORN MAKES VERY
GOOD PROGRESS
OFFICIALLY BELIEVED BULK
MAY BE SAFE FROM FROST
BY SEPTEMBER Is.

Huron, Sept. An. f. BlystOne,
meteorologist in charge of the South
Dakota section of the weather bu-
reau, has issued the following sum-
mary of weather conditions in South
Dakota for the week ending Aug. 21:
The weather was cool during the
week, though warmer in the early
part than later. Moderate to heavy
rain fell Saturday, but during the
rest of the week the weather was
fair. The rain greatly improved the
condition of the ground for fall
plowinp.
Conditions were favorable for hay
ing and threshing and work along
these. lines made good progress. In
some localities threshing has been
completed. Corn made good prog
ress. The rain was beneficial but
warmer weather is needed to mature
the crop.
The stage of development is rath-
er uneven Some fields are already
nearly safe from frost damage while
other fields will need a month. The
bulk of the crop will probably bs
safe by Sept. Is.
The flax crop is fine. It is beint
harvested and some of it is beint
threshed, giving large yield.
The rain was beneficial to gardens
potatoes, meadows and pastures.
Stock is in excellent condition ant
is being marketed extensively.

STRIVING To SAVE
SUBMARINE 6-5
THE OFFICERS AND CREW WERE
NEAR DEATH AT TIME OF
RESCUE.

Lewis, Del, Sept. 4.-The battle
ship Ohio, with chains fastened to
the submarine SIS, lay close to the
spot where the submersible floun-
dered helpless beneath the Atlantic
for nearly 40 hours. Several at
tempts to tow the submarine were
unsuccessful. Chains slipped and the
officers of the Ohio feared they
would lose the submarine. More lines
may be passed around her.
The crew of the submarine was
aboard the Ohio. They were near
death when rescued. Water had
filled the front compartments of the
submarine, fitting her to dangerous
angle. Water got into the batteries
creating chlorine gas, which almost
suffocated the crew.

RAIL GUARANTEE
INCREASES DEBT
FEDERAL GUARANTEE OF RAIL
ROAD EARNINGS RESULTS
IN INCREASE.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Federal
guarantee of railroad earnings re-
suited in an increase in the public
debt of $1O1,755,0 during August,
according to treasury figures issued
today showing the nations gross
debt to be $24,324,672.000.
Treasury records charge the in
crease in the public debt to an issue
of certificates of Indebtedness offer
ed Aug. 16, sold to cover payment
of the railroads under the guarantee
provisions of the transportation act.
Advances to the carrier against
probable deficits during the month
were said by treasury officials to
have reached nearly 100000, 900
and on this basis they figured there
would have been slight reduction
in the public debt had not the earn
ings guarantee been in effect.
ayments to the roads in August do
not correctly Indicate the amount to
which they will be entitled when a
final accounting for the six months
period over which the guarantee ex-
tended is made, it was added.
AS a result the drain on the
treasury probably will continue for
several months but officials believed
it would be possible to clear up all
transactions with the railroads with
the exception of the revolving fund
by the opening of the new year.
The figures made public today
show redempti0ns of approximately
$2,50O,000 in Liberty bonds during
the last 80 days. about $500. 900 OF
which were of the third loan.
