LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND.

New York, May 7.-When President
Harding addressed the blind men and
women at the New York Lighthouse
for the Blind, Ill East 59th street,
the notes of his address were taken
by blind stenographer, Miss Grace
E. Keator, and were Transcribed by
her on typewriter in the Lighthouse
Office.
Miss Keator has record of ninety
words a minute, better, it is said,
than thatof the majority of sighted
stenographers. She takes dictatiOn on
Braille stereotype machine, and with
her fnghers reads the abbreviated
dotted characters which are a contrac-
ton of the Braille reading type used
by the blind, and then transcribes
them on her typewriter Miss Keator
is the official stenographer of the New
York Lighthouse, and the office work
is heavy in that organization which
handles 1929 cases of the blind in one
year.
All of Miss Keator's business letters
are written by her on regular type
writer, but for personal correspond
ence she uses the special writing
frame devised for the blind. This in
strument consists of two metal blades
of equal size usually not more than
one foot long hinged together at one
end. In one blade there are cut two
or more row of cells of the required
point space, and in the other is a
grooved bed, or {. base with writing
pits drilled into it, so that one blade
fits over the other.
Between these blades, the paper is
inserted. The blade with the cell
openings is placed above, and into it
are impressed, with the aid of
small pointed stylus, dots in the desir-
ed number and position.
Type for the blind has never been
standardized. There are three kinds
in use today, New Yory point, Ameri-
can Braille, and English Braille, grade
1 1-2, and the last is becoming the
standardized type for the blind in
this country. Miss Keator is prof.
cient in the use of these three types.
Miss Keator lost her sight at the
end of her High School course. I'M
mediately she set about to prepare
herself, once more, to be self-support-
ing. She attended an institution for
the instruction of the blind, and there
she become trained as a switch board
operator, &; pianist, and a secretary.
AS the President and Mrs. Harding
were leaving the New York Light
house, after there brief call there, the
President stopped at the desk of Miss
Keator, shook hands with her, and
then dictated this message of greeting
to the pupils and workers at the
Lighthouse :"Do let me express my
most sympathetic and cheering greet
ings to those of the Lighthouse, and
wish them and all who seek to do for
them the greatest success in adding
to the light of happiness in the
world"
President and Mrs. Harding's visit
to the New York Lighthouse was
their second expression of interest,
within a week, in the 100000 cam
paign now being carried on by the
Committee for Lighthouses for the
Blind, from its headquarters at Ill
East Fifty-ninth Street. President
Harding has accepted the Honorary
Craftsmanship and Secretary Mellon
has accepted the Honorary Treasurer
ship of the Committee. Contributions
should be sent to Lewis l.. Clarke,
Treasurer, at III East Fifty-ninth

MRS. A. G. GRANGER AT REST

The funeral of Mrs. A. G Gran
ger took place in Kadoka on Sun
day, and was attended by a great
many friends from this section Of
the state. The community was
Greatly shocked to learn Of her
sudden death in hospital at Rap
id City following the birth Of a
daughter, who with the husband
constitute the immediate surviving
family.
Mrs. Granger, formerly Miss
Olive Milliken, grew to wamonhood
in Yankton, where she was edu-
Gated and where her mother and
other relatives reside. She and her
husband had been married less
than year.
Mr.. Granger is one of the promi-
nent and best known citizens of
westeren South Dakota, having
been leader in the state legisla-
ture at one time. and always in
tercsted in public affairs in his
part of the state. Many Of his
friends were present at the fun
eral.
A. G. Granger is largely regard
ed as neighbor by folks in Haa-
kon county, where he is very well
known on account of his political
interests several years, and they
join as one body in expressing sim
cere grief at the death Of the wife
and the wreck Of the home life
which Mr.. Granger had just estab-
lished.

NHAT WOULD YOU DO IF
a. YOU WERE GOVERNOR

Just what would you do at the
present moment if you were gov
ernor? Have you ever tried to ans
wer that question? If not, it might
be interesting to work out a pos
sible answer
And the first thing that is likely
to occur to you as you consider the
question is that it isn't such a
glorified picnic being governor of
South Dakotan in uncertain times
like these. You may be having diff
ficulty in keeping your business on
an even keel. Your credit may be
"all shot to pieces You may not
know where the money for the
next payroll is coming from; and
the growingdifficulties Of the sit
aution may be driving you near
the very verge OF insanity.
Well, suppose you had the busi-
ness of running a state govern
ment on your hands; suppose the
state revenues were shrinking just
as the revenues of the individual
are shrinking; suppose you had on
your hands good many plans and
large projects started during times
of prosperity that needed to be
rounded out and finished in some
way and yet you were faced by
sudden requirements of strictest
economy; suppose the state could
with the greatest difficulty borrow
money at high rates Of interest;
and suppose that everybody in the
state was more or less on edge and
grouchy because times were hard,
and ready to find fault with you
at the slightest opportunity; well.
how do you think you would get
on with the job anyway? In word.
what would you do just now. if
you were Governor of South Da-
kota.
A little consideration Of this
question will help you in estimat-
ing the burdens that our own
Governor McMaster has on his
shoulders these days. His cares
must be bit distracting, and his
lot not altogether a pleasant one.
There must come times when he
would no doubt be glad to trade
jobs with you. Considering it all
in all our admiration for the man
grows and grows by reason Of the
fact that the man gets on with
his heavy tasks so well.

PROSPEROUS FARMERS
WIFE NEARLY STARVED

Declaring she was actually starv-

Those terrible cramping pains and

TRUANCY LAWS STRICTER

A change in the compulsory ed,l-
cation law which was passed by
the legislature and became effec-
tive July 1st raises the ages dur
ing which children must remain
in school, and, as the law now
reads, any child between eight and
seventeen must attend school and
complete the eighth grade, Here
tofore it has been possible for
boards of education to grant ex-
cuses to children for absences und-
er certain conditions, particularly
for helping in agricultural work.
The law was made stricter in this
respect and gives the power for
granting excuses for absence only
to the county superintendent, who

RIVER NOT
THE LOWEST VALLEY
In SOUTH DAKOTA

I Although there is general ides
the Missouri river valley is the
lowest In the state the tables pub
lished by the United States geo
logical survey shows that the val
ley is considered higher than the
Jamesriver valley. which is really
the lowest valley of the state, tho
the lowest point in the state is at
White Rock on Lake Traverse in
the northeastern part of the state
The bed of the James river from
the point at which it enters the
state In Brown county to where it
empties into the Missouri near
Yankton is 200 feet deeper on the
average than the bed Of the Mis-
souri,. It is also almost 200 feet
deeper than the trough Of the
Sioux river in the eastern part Of
the state.
The general conception is, that
the Missouri being the largest and
being the stream into which all
Of the other streams in this part
Of the country eventually empty,
is considerably lower than the
other valleys Of the state. For this
reason the geological survey tables
are highly interesting.
At .Hecla, in the northern part
Of Brown county, the James river
water level is 1901 feet above sea
level, at Huron til is 1885 feet,
while et Yankton it is l,l57 feet.
Where the Missouri river enters
the state. as the boundary between
Campbell and Corson counties. the
water level is 1862 8 feet above
the level Of the sea. At Pierre the
elevation lis l,4i6.4 feet while at
the point where it passes out of
the state in the vicinity Of Sioux
City, Iowa, the elevation is reduc-
cd to l,0S0.5 feet above sea level.
This gives the river a fall of 1923
feet through the state, a distance
of approximately 500 miles.
The Sioux river has a very rapid
fall. AT it's soruces at Lake KAN
poska near Watertown it's eleva-
ton Is 1,726 feet above sea while
at its mouth its elevation is 1880
feet, drop of $40 feet in approx
nately 200 miles.
The highest point in the state
east of the Missouri river is at
Gettysburg, county seat of Potter
county, the second county north
Of Hughes. The highest poin tin
the entire state is Harvey peak in
the Black Hills. The elevation Of
Pierre is 1,572 feet above sea level.
At Philip the elevation is 2.l50
feetthe point of calculation be-
ing not the top Of the water tank
or the fagpole, but a mark on a
railroad iron about two hundred
feet east of the railroad water
tank.

TODAY ANNIVERSARY
OF THE BIG FIRE

On the morning of October 9th
last year Philip had its big fire
The very heart of the business
district was burned. about tw.. ,ty
places Of business destroyed. The
shelves of the stores were loaded
with fall and winter stocks, and
the flames spread with such rapid
ity that almost none of the con-
tents of the buildings could be
removed.
That morning when the sun
came up, it shone on smoking
scar where one of the most enter
prising small towns of the state
had stood the night before. It was
disheartening. But the business
men of the town began at once
upon their plans for rebuilding,
and some ordered new stocks ct
merchandise before their old ones
nad quit blazing. In the face Of a
rather trying general financial Sit
uation, seven fine, brick store build
lngs have been completed and are
now occupied on the sites where
the old wooden buildings stood a
year ago. A dozen other buildings
chat were burned, have been re-
modelled and enlarged, so that the
business institutions of the town
are now more comfortably housed
han they have ever been. Philip
has already put the dire r,isfor-
sunc of it's fire far behind it.
All the business men of Philip
on the anniversary Of our fire are
feeling thankful that the disaster
vas no worse. They are congratu-
iating themselves that times seem
to be not quite so hard in Haa-
kon and Jackson counties as in
some other localities. They all
keep smiling. and they all keep
begging away. Call and see them
at their places of business, if You
don't believe it.

THE TALE OF A ONE DOLLAR
BILL

A citizen went down town to spend
Some Of his hard-earned dough
And in a merry jest, and just,
To show his printing skill
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill
He spent that dollar that same day
Down lii a grocery store;
He thot twas gone forever then
And he'd see it no more.
But long before the year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbors order, and received
Thatsame old dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In hisown neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and
friends
The most amount of good
Four times in two years it came
back
As some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out and
spend
This marked one dollar bill.
Had he been wise, that dollar
might
Be in the town today.
But just about two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then
