The month of Juae was an ex-
cessively warm one the whole
country over. From the east and
from the west come accounts OF
very warm weather. Here in South
Dakota no section of the state has
escaped, and in general the temp
erature has been that of August
rather than that Of the usually
pleasant month Of June.
Crops have suffered some, tho
the situation is not as bad as was
at first believed. Certainly the
situation is not worse in western
South Dakota than in many other
parts of the northwest. In fact,
the government agents report the
dry hot weather has done about as
much damage in Brown county as
anywhere in Souht Dakota. In
Lincoln county and also in Moody
severe damage was done during
the past week to large crop areas
by hail storms. No hail storms
have been reported in this region
at this writing.

FANCY WORK EXHIBITS
NO LONGER POPULAR

"The day Of the fancy work ex-
hibits at the state and county fair
is rapidly passing in South Dakota
says Selma Rongstad state home
demonstration leader in the State
college extension service.
"The women of today, and espec-
tally the farm women" she says,
ARE demanding more practical ex-
hibHs and demonstrations which
will help them in performing their
every day tasks"
"The fancy pieced quilts and
crocheted yokes or former years
will give way to the more practi-
cal exhibits, such as the best kitch
en- aprons, home made kitchen de-
vices, or demonstration in home
made soap. This change will be
noted at the state fair.
"The premium for tatted hand
kerchief has heretofore been high
er than the premium for the best
house dress. Women who attend
the fair to receive instruction and
get suggestion for better home
making have resented this and
the changes in the 1921 premium
list, and other changes to be made
later, are the result.

THE BOYS ALL GO FISHING

Ten days ago United States SEN
ator Peter Norbeck came to South
Dakota and established himself in
his summer cottage near Sylvan
Lake in the Black Hills. 1t was
quite interesting to note how soon
some of our friends became inter-
ested in the summer beauties of
the Hills. Men who had never
wet line in their lives before be-
came much interested in trout
fishing. Others who had never com
planned of the heat, suddenly
found the. June temperature un-
bearable, and had to HE themselves
away to the cooling shades of the
pine and the high hills.
No matter what their excuses
were, the boys were all hearing
the political news from Washing
ton and learning latest develop
ments in the tangled snarl of
South Dakota's share of Federal
patronage. AS a matter of fact
the political pot is brewing. Its
simmering surface shows that
down underneath things are get
ting real warm. All may pass by
pleasantly enough, and nearly ev-
erybody is presenting petition
accordingly in hisDpolitical prayers
But the boys were being called in
to the Hills to get the latest news.
Among those whom we saw go
ing that way we might mention
Hon. Chas. M. Day, editor of the
Argus Leader, Sioux Falls, Hon.
A. O.. Ringsrud. of Elk Point, mem
Der Of the board Of charities and
corrections, and one of the big
fellows in a political way in the
state; G. B. Powers Of Chamber
lain formerly state chairman, and
still a man Of Importance polite
ally. Also we saw vending their
way toward the Hills Hon. A. G.
Granger and Hon. G. N. Leedom,
|of Kadoka. All the boys came
home saying that the fishing was
good, but saying nothing more.

THE NEW FENCE LAW

Five times in fifteen years the
legislature of South Dakota has
changed the definition of legal
fence. Every time our lawmakers
meet at Pierre some member intro
duces bill changing the existing
specifications provided for legal
fence, and, as the matter does not
seem very important to the other
members, the bill usually goes
through and the change is made.
If some one does suggest that the
law should presently be fixed once
for all and left alone, the propo-
nent only argues for his bill with
greater enthusiasm and vehemence
Haakon and jackson county ran
chers and farmers will be interest
ed to know the new requirments
A legal fence is now defined as
being any fence upon which ad-
joining owners Of land may agree,
or in the absence of agreement is
shall,"consist- sound posts at
least six and one hal feet long
and four inches in diameter, OF
standard steel posts, and firmly set
at least two feet in the earth and
not over twenty feet apart. Such
posts. shall be firmly braced at
ends, corners and gateways or op-
enings, to prevent sagging, and
upon them shall be firmly stretch
ed and securely attached to each
a woven wire fence thirty-two
inches high, the bottom Of which
shall be firmly stretched even with
the ground, which woven wire
fence shall be of eight bars, with
six inch stays, and wire to be not
smaller than No. 10 or No. 13
wire; above such woven wire fence
shall be firmly stretched and sound

tow strands of ordinary CONNER

fence, and the upper strand to be
sixteen inches from the top of
such woven wire fence"
There it is. Everything appears
except blue print. OF course it
could have provided that the stap-
les should be at least two inches
in length and that the hammer
used in building the fence should
not weigh less than two and one
quarter pounds, but the legislature
probably did not think of that.
1t is safe to say that there will
not be many legal fences in this
part of the state unless they are
made SO by agreement. But is is
interesting just to consider how
the legislature of oSuth Dakota
believes that fence should be built

THE NEW FOURTH OF JULY

Now that the Fourth, glorious
Fourth is was once called, has pas
sed and gone, it may not be out of
place to take stock Of certainly
changing sentiment in regard to
the day. Nothing is the same since
the war. Nothing will ever be the
same again-not even the Fourth
Of July. A different sentiment is
beginning to attach to the day,
and we might as well begin to
bring ourselves in accord with it.
Here in Philip, in Belle Fourche
in Pierre, and in a good many 9TH
err neighboring towns, serious at
tempt was made to have an old
time celebration of the day. There
was a good dael of bucking, and
busting and sky-rocketing, but the
people who attended all these cele-
brations admit that something was
lacking. Even the Belle Fourche
Roundup did not near come up
to the standard of ether years
Somehow, this year, the bronco
busting didn't quite satisfy. and
the sky-rocketing seemed not to
go as high into the Dakota skies
as in former years. Most of our
friends express their feelings by
saying the show was rather tame.
The trouble with the business is
that we are right bang up against
a New Fourth Of July. Our coun-
try is simply oppressed by great
national and international prob
lens. The world is weary, and
part of its WEAKNESS has become
our own. There never was time
since man crawled out of the
shiny ooze as the sun rose on the
dawn Of history, when humanity
called so loudly for the best Of all
our efforts to save it from ruin,
and we try to satisfy that call by
watching a horse buck.
We may like it or not, but our
country is just about headed in
the wrong direction or in no dir
ection. The American Legion re-
cognized this by its program of
Americanism, the largest program
for our common welfare inauguar-
ated since the Civil War. They
say that our first need is that our
land must be filled with better
Americans, and they mean to see
that this accomplished. The rest
of us will wake up one of these
days and learn that the Legion is
a great factor in American af-
fairs, and about that time we will
discover that the old time Fourth
of July with its bucking and bust
ing no longer satisfies the needs
of the hour for Amricanism. A.
bout that time we will discover
that the Fourth of July as well as
a good many other days in the
year must be devoted to the max
ing Of better citizens, to consid-
Grafton of our national history
the reasons for it's greatness, and
some realization of what the fut-
ure calls for. Be assured that we
shall live to see a very different
Fourth of July from the ones we
are seeing everywhere now.

SOUTH DAKOTA POPUI4A-
TION BECOMING URBAN

One Of the most disturbing fac
tors of our national life is the
drift of our population from the
country to the cities. Even this
tendency is apparent in new ag-
ricultural state like South Dakota
The census department at Wash
ington classifies all population re-
siding in cities Of more than $500
inhabitants as urban, all other
population is rural. Adopting
this classification it appears that
the population Of South Dakota is
still overwhelmingly rural. Last
year 10l,S72 people of the state re-
sided in cities of more than $500
population, out of a total of $780,
547. In other words 16 people out
Of every hundred resided in cities
and "a in the country or rural
communities Yet in 1900 ten peo-
pie out of every one hundred lived
in the cities and 80 in the country
or rural communities. This indi-
Gates the movement toward the
city even in South Dakota.
