Opportunity for Schooling at
Brookings for Ex-Soldiers.

Through plans perfected at Pierre
this week in a conference between state
officials and various boards the South
Dakota State college at Brookings will
be enabled to accommodate some 20C
ex-service men under the rehabilitation
act, in vocational training courses this
fall. The financing of project outlined
10y the government without such pro-
vision, was accomplished partly through
emergency funds in the hands of the
state. At the conference at Pierre were

bers of the board of regents. T. w
Dwight Of Sioux Falls, was present as a
member of the latter organization.
Invitations were extended to all three
candidates for Governor to be present
and help to work out the plan indepen-
dent of any politics.
At the conclusion of the conference
an emergency warrant for $780, 900 fcI

This will be sufficient for the time being
to erect suitable dormitory at Brook

work has started at once and lOS soldiers
will be accommodated in this building.
Further funds will be asked of the leg
islature this coming winter to care for
the balance.
The vocational work will start al

and there will be numerous courses OF
agricultural and industrial nature. II
has been entirely endorsed by the Amer,

commercially. They may select THEN
own courses.
The government detailed POO soldiers
to Brookings. They are mostly South
Dakota enlisted men but not necessarily
confined to those from this state. Many
of them are already at Brookings anC
will be temporarily cared for in the
armory there.

IN M MEMORIAM. .

In loving memory OF Elizabeth Z.
Broadhead, who with her husband came
to the Black Hills in an early day, living
IN Custer a number of years then taking
mp homestead near Pringle where her
husband preceded her some years ago.
She always lived Christian life, was a
good wife, loving faithful mother and
beloved by all her friends and neigh
Dors Always ready and anxious to help
them in need and extend her sincere
sympathy. Although at an advanced
age she had been active up until about
two years ago when she became almost
helpless invalid, but retaining her
mental faculties until the last, always
thinking and speaking Of her children
and old friends. She has for the past
two years been tenderly and lovingly
| cared for by her sons wife, Mrs. AL
Gere, at Speartish, S. D., where she
passed away Sept 10th, and was brought
to the home of her friend, Mrs j. T.
Booker, in Pringle, where so many OF
her friends had gathered out of love and
respect to her memory, bringing so
many beautiful flowers. After prayer
by the Minister, Rev. A. G. Campbell,
she was taken to the little church across
the way where she had been a member
many years, then was tenderly laid to
rest beside her husband in the Silent
City of the dead. Having known her
so intimately and knowing so we'll her
good qualities We realize how greatly sh g
will be missed.

BEAUTIFYIHG MAIN
STREET In CUSTER

STREET IN CUSTER.
Some one has suggested the plotting
of the centre of Main Street for at least
one block and planting to grass and
flowers When you think Of it one is
struck by the feasibility of the idea.
We have streets 100 feet wide and there
is plenty of traffic room on each side.
70 curb section on each side of the
alley, haul in few loads of black dirt
and start the flowers and grass would
give touch of the artistic that would
delight the tourist and give sense OF
pride to all in our city. Let's talk it to
the Town Trustees and start a move
ment to put this touch to Custer Those
who have driven up the beautiful street
leading from Phillips Avenue to Nc
Kiunon hospital in Sioux Falls, cannot
forget the effect of the pretty little rect
angular of flowers and shrubs for many
blocks on this beautiful drive, and nc
one feels that it is money wasted nor
fspace curtailed by so doing. Why not
give Custer the distinction of this feat
ure and be the leader in the Black
Hills.

SOME FARMERS GRIND
OWN FLOUR AND MEAL
General Practice of Farmers Is
to Buy Breadstuffs.
Occasionally Man Is Found Who Has
His Own Little Mill and Does His
Own Grlndin9-Bakers Are
Patronized In Some Cases-

Cereals, such as corn, wheat and
buckwheat, are raised nearly every
where throughout the United States.
These grains are staple breadstuffs,
but the general practice Of farmers Is
to buy -four and meal rather than
grind or have their own grain ground
for home use, says the United States
department of agriculture. In certain
sections where custom gristmills are
found farmers still have some grain
ground into -four and meal for home
use. Occasionally a farmer is found
who has his own little mill and who
makes his own flour and meal.
The average farm family consumes
about six barrels of -four In a year.
In the South the average annual con-
sumption of cornmeal is about 500
pounds per family and in the North
about so pounds. The consumption
of buckwheat and rice is low, except
in areas where these crops are gen
eralir orn.

less productive than the other kernels
on the ear; the thick rounded kernels
from the butts are just as productive
as am of the rest, but because Of
their shape and size they do not plant
uniformly when used in corn plant
err with other kernels.
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor, but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter will injure some
of the kernels, and thus destroy or
reduce their power to grow and yield.
No matter how large the required sup.
ply, says the department, it will still
pay to shell it painstakingly by hand
because the greater the acreage to
be planted the greater the ultimate
profit
Each ear should be shelled sepa-
rately into shallow pan or box, and
any blemished, poorly developed, moldy
or worm-eaten kernel should be re
jected.
AS the seed from each ear is found
satisfactory and sound, and free from
poor kernels, 1t Is poured into the gen.
eral supply and another ear is shelled
in the same way. 1t is much easier
to pick out defective kernels from a
thin layer in small sieve than from
a large, mingled quantity in L.ishel
measure or n bag.

The quantity and quality OF the corn

on the kind Of seed you plant this

A good seed corn, say specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture, is one that is adapted to the
locality, is grown on the most produc-
tive plants of a productive variety, is
well matured, and preserved from RI
penlng to planting time in such a way
that the full vigor Of the seed will be
retained.

Free Tin Boxes.

There are countless uses for tin
boxes.
Most dealers In cigarettes have on
hand boxes of this kind, eleven inches
long, six inches wide and four inches
deep, which are thrown away. Some
dealers are glad to accommodate per-
sons who desire these tin receptacles
and will give them away without cost
The following are some very good
ways in which the tin boxes can be
utilized:
Lunch boxes when out camping or

RAQ-DOLL TESTER Is
SIMPLE AND efficient

The rag-doll method Of test
Ing individual ears Of corn is one
of the simplest and most eco
nomical. and is efficient, says
the United States department Of
agriculture.
The tester consists of strip
of cloth, preferably bleached
muslin, 16 inches wide and from
three to five feet long. The
cloth should be marked of into
square sections and the squares
all numbered. The ears to be
tested should also be given cor
responding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected
from different parts OF each ear,
and placed in the proper Sec
ton.
When the tester is filed, fold
over each side so that the edges
meet In the center, roll up, and
soak the tester for a few hours
in lukewarm water. Drain off
the excess water and place the
dolls In warm place for tho
seed to terminate. They should
be covered with q wet cloth to
keep them moist, and in about
five days the seed should be suf-
ficiently well terminated to show
its fitness for planting.
