The only safe way, unless the fall is
very great, suggests r. L. Patty, ex-

Taking a chance on having them
laid wrong is certainly a poor bust

The fact that water runs through
the tiles as soon as they are laid is
by no means proof that they are laid
right. There could easily be enough
"backfall" in them to cause them 10

28O ACRE FARM
AT $500 AN ACRE
Lewis Shuster, of Mitchell, Purchases
COrbett Farm of ID. n. High
land

The high mark on Hand County
land was set last week when d. n.
Highland of this city disposed of the
old Corbett farm to Lewis Shuster of
Mitchell at the price of 5000 per acre.
This farm consists of 2S3 acrts, and
has but moderate improvements out
side of an artesian well which was
recently drilled, and is located one
half mile east of Miller on the Black
and Yellow Trail
This price is not high in comparison
with land similarly located in points
in eastern South Dakota and Iowa
where land is selling at prices from
$500 to $1,000 per acre and is no more
productive than Hand county soil.
Mr.. Sduster expects to considerably
improve the place and to plant a large
acreage to alfalfa with the intension
Of developing it into a pure bred stock

COX IS Dem.
CHOICE FOR PRES.
Franklin Roosevelt, Assistant Secre.
tary Of State, Vice President
Nominee

San Francisco, July 6.-James M.
Cox, three times governor of Ohio,
was nominated for the presidency
carly this morning in the democratic
national convention, in the breakup
of one Of the most prolonged deadlocks
In the history Of national political
parties
It took A ballots to make a choice,
and it was not until the thirty-eightn
when Attorney General Palmer with
drew from the race, that the long sue
cession of roll calls showed any def
mite trend.
In the turnover of the Palmer dele
gates, Cox gained the advantage of
William G. McAdoo, his rival for frs,
Tlace since early in the balloting, and
that advantage never was lost.
AS the Cox total passed that of
McAdoo and forged upward, the Nc
A6oo managers made a desperate
fight to stop it in time but once he
nad more than a majority the fight
was easy. At the end of another day
of furious struggle the convention
stampeded to Cox, slung aside its rule
and made his nomination unanimous
with a roaring shout.
A terrific uproar followed. The
whole mass Of delegates threw them
selves into a final wild demonstration
greater than any of the orgies of moi
ses that had preceded.
Franklin d Roosevelt Of New York,
assistant secretary Of the navy, was
dominated for vice president by the
democratic national convention and
became the running mate of Governor
James M. Cox of Ohio, the democratic
cnoice for the presidential nomination.
The first cries of Cox and ROOSEVELT
rang through the convention hall ana
we're mixed with the shouts OF the
vote Of reclamation by which he was
nominated without a ballot.
Despite the Discrimination of the
.Tammany organization to accept him,
Roosevelt's name went over with q
band age movement during which
all other candidates were withdrawn.

Grandstand Collapses
AT Pierre, 26 Injured

During the afternoons program at
Fierre Monday afternoon, the grand
stand at the Athletic field collapsed,
injuring twenty-six people AS far as
could be learned none were seriously
injured.
Miss Nellie Grant and Mrs. Neary,
both we'll known here, were among
the injured. Miss Grant is suffering
from a broken leg, while Mrs. Neary
sustained minor injuries.
1t is thought that the accident was
caused by the large crowd in the
%grandstand, which was not very
strongly built.
