Should Be Accurate.

An editor once told a cub reporter
that the most essential element in
his success was accuracy. 81 don't
care il 1t Is only two line item,
he said, "if you are good newspaD-
er man you should be willing to
chase out to the end of the city to
get the item right.
One of the difficulties the news.
paper man has to encounter, is that
many people who convey informa.
tion do not state the exact facts.
No one realizes the necessity for
precise accuracy in such matters un.
til he has worked on a newspaper
and has seen all the trouble mis-
take can make.
The people who give information
to newspapers perform n public
service of high value. and assist in
the work OF getting true record
OF community life. In so far as
they take pains to state things with
careful attention to correct details.
they add greatly to the value Of the
record. An inaccurate newspaper
is a damage to its home city. but
to get it strictly correct requires
cooperation on the part Of the com.
munity.

FANCY WORK EXHIBITS PAST

"The day of the fancy work exhib-
its at the state and county fairs is
rapidly passing in South Dakota"
says Selma Rongstad, state home dem
onstration leader in the State college
extension service.
"The women Of today, and espe-
cially the farm women" she says, "are
demanding more practical exhibits
and demonstrations which will help
them in performing their everyday
tasks.
THE fancy pieced quilts and GRO
cheted yokes of former years will give
way to the more practical exhibits,
such as the best kitchen aprons, home
made kitchen devices, or a demonstra-
ton in homemade soap. This change
will be noted this year at the state
fair.
THE premium for a tatted handker-
chief has heretofore been higher than
the premium offered for the best house
dress. Women who attend the fair to
receive instruction and get sugges.
tions for better homemaking have re-
scented this and the changes in the
1921 premium list, and other changes
to be made later, are the result.
AT the recent South Dakota Farm
Women's Congress a resolution cover
ing this points was adopted as follows:
I'VE ask the state fair board to ex-
clude concessions from the women's
building and give space to exhibits
such as model kitchens, labor saving
machinery, and home convenlences
We further ask that as soon as posi-
BILE they cut down the premiums Of
fered for fancy work and increase the
premiums offered for more practical
work."
