SITUATION At
HOLE-|N-WA[L
South and Perth Amboy Inter-
ests Must Be Protected in
Work Being Done There

SOUTH AMBOY, Mag 3:--Just
how much interest the city has in
the Hole in the Wall improvement is
worrying quite O. few taxpayers, the
majority of whom reside in the Me-
c~hanicsville section of the city. A
communication has been received
from T. j. Mulyihill, secretary OF the
Board of F~reeholders, telling of the
improvements at the hole Il ask
ing the council to protect their inter-
ests at that place. The interest the
f~reel1olders had in mind is the water
main that rams underneath the
"hole.s The roadbed is to be paved
as soon as the walls are built and
before this is done the freenolders
had everyone with interests at the
place notified of their intention OF
Improvement. The Public service
Gas Company, Monmouth Lighting
Company. Telephone company, Perth
Anboy Water Works and others also
received notification.
From what could be learned yes
terday it seems that all interested
parties have advised the ~freeholders
that they were going to make prep
arations to protect their interests
The Perth Amboy Water Works, it Is
understood. will place a new M
larger supply pipe through the hole.
The gas company will within the
course of a few days lay a new and
larger main at that place. Other
pipe lines will be overseen by the
owners The pipes may be defective
and at the joints need caulking.
Many questions have been raised.
Does anyone pretend to know the
condition OF tho city's water main at
that place? Would it be wisdom to
take a look at the joints, for fear Of
defects which might mean serious
trouble in a short time? Would 1t be
advisable to lower the main several
inches, that the weight of the trafhc
might be lifted from these pipes.
1t would be a shame to break into
the new pavement to do work that
could be done while the place is I'M
der construction now, 1t is declared.
The council seem of the opinion
that they had no interest in the I'M
provement. The fact still remains
that the water main is at that place
and should be looked after. Things
are shaping themselves at the Hole
in the Wall after many years of
walls, and 1t seems to be the firm be-
lief of the residents in Mechanics
Vile that the city should lend an
effort to the speed of the outlined
program.

PROPOSAL MEET
OPENS AT PIERRE
Forecast Says McMaster Has Advan.
tage Over Sterling. Democrats
and Farm-LabOr Plan Fusion

A report wes received Wednesday
morning that Gov. McMaster received
the nomination for L.. s. Senator over
Sen. Thomas Sterling after a bitter
fight.
Harlan J. Bushfield of this city was.
Tuesday elected chairman of the state
proposal convention at Pierre. At
the time of the six o'clock recess.
Tuesday. the delegates to the conven-
ton were still arguing and proposing
resolutions for the party platform.
Proposalmen from all over South
Dakota gathered at Pierre Tuesday
for the state proposal meeting.
But little of the activities of the
delegation could be learned at the
time of going to press, but the fol-
lowing Pierre dispatch will give some
idaa of how the LAND lies:
Pierre, S. D., Dec. 3.-On a careful
check of voting strength for the re-
publican senatorial nomination as
made this evening, Governor McMas-
ter seems to have a slight advantage
This alignment may be changed to-
morrow through trades on other NOM
nations but the best posted republi-
can leaders think it Will stand.
The republican delegates will rep.
resent a total united strength of rs,
25S votes making 39,130 necessary
for a choice with all present and
voting. 1t is estimated here tonight
that Governor McMaster has pledged
$4,000 votes, a safe majority. Allow
ing for absentees, the estimated Ster-
linz Cfrnn OFT n 10 gE Enl xrnfac
There is some doubt whether Ster-
ling will carry the fight through to
the primary if defeated in the propos>
al meeting here tomorrow. His fol-
lowers are divided on that point. II
Sterling does make a minority fight
for the primary nomination the plan
is to do SO without the aid of a fun
minority ticket, thus escaping the hos
pitality of the candidates on the reg,
ular ticket. III McMaster should be
defeated in the proposal meeting, SO
HE followers declare tonight. he will
carry the fight through &c the prfm
ary.
Democratic and farmer-labor dele
gates have been working on fusion
plans and indications tonight are that
hey will get together on a state tic.
.ket. Even Tom Ayres is advocating
fusion. Tentative agreement has been
made to give the gubernatorial nom
inaticn to the farmer-labor party and
the senaorial nomination TO the dem
0cratic party. Some difficulty has
been experienced i'm outlining a tie
ket satisfactory to both camps. The
discussion tonight conferred about a
fusion ticket with NJ p. Bates a.
candidate for governor, L. S. G. Cher
ry as candidate for United States sen.
ator. Miss Alice Lorraine DAILY as a
candidate for congress from the first
district and II. s. H"ildebrandt as, car.
didate for congress from the second
district. That arrangement woulo
give the congressional nomination in
the third district to the democrats
but the candidate still is in doubt.
The delegates from South Dakota
to the republican national convention
will be instructed for Hiram Johnson
and the delegation will be headed by
Senator Peter Norbeck. There will
be no contesting Coolidge delegation

AIRPLANE IS DAMAGED
IN FIRE AT WOLSEY

washington Times-Hayden Wilcox
suffered quite a loss Friday night
when his airplane caught fire and was
partially burned up. He was return,
ing from Lake Byron where he had
been with Boyd Babbitr. He was
overtaken by darkness at Wolsey and
decided to stop there, leaving the
plane just south of the town. Some
boys wandered out to see it, and in
order to get a better view lit some
matches and aocidently set fire to the
u~pholstering Of the seats. 1t soon
gained such Roadway that they were
unable to put 1t out. AS it happened
ii was only a short distance from a
residence and the lady of the house
hurried put with pals of water and
managed to keep the fire down to a
considerable extent until a message
could be SEM up town. Wilcox was
eating a lunch at the restaurant at
the time and the way he few down the
street toward the burning plane would
have put the plane itself to shame in
its palmiest days. Fences proved no
obstacles at all, nor did he wait to op-
en- gates. The whole town responded
to the alarm and fire extinguishers
were 500 on hand and the flames
smothered. but not until after the
body Of the plane was pretty badly
demolished. The next morning VII,
cox sold the remains to John Hollis
ter who will put N In running order
again as soon as possible.

SADAT0L PROVES ITS
VALUE AS EXPLOSIVE

Demonstrations by X. l.. Patty last
week with Sodatol. the new Govern
ment explosive given to farmers for
land clearing purposes, proved a
startling success. The effect of the
conclusions was so great as to cause
the earth to tremble for some distance
from the explosions. Windows in "a
Miller home five miles from the work
were heard to rattle.
Those who witnessed the demon
strations were Thoroughly satisfied
that Sodatol breaks rocks into pieces
easy to handle and saves much hard
work in moving them by any other
method.
AS a result of the demonstration,
many requests for the explosive were
received at the County Agents Office.
Mr.. Patty advises that the second
carload will be sent for in a very few
days and any one wishing to obtain
Sodatol may do so by forwarding p.
o. Money Order or check to the
County Agent or to II. L.. Patty, at
Brookings. This explosive may be
had in quantities of so pounds up to
1000. No n individual may obtain
more than 1000 pounds. The price is
$6.75 per 100 pounds f. O. B. Bror'

In the FIRST place Rich had not stood
well the dieHCAing i'm rain anu hail
the night before we started for our
last day OF new things, and so awoke
with a bad sore throat and ear ache.
We had to bundle him up i'm the car
as a special object of tenderness.
Another untoward event was a bad
blowout before we had gone many
miles. That Is not so unusual an &C.
curance as to make n superstitious,
but 1t had its significance. For us to
be late in getting to Wind Cave so
thai instead OF going in at ten a. m.
we were compelled To wait until two
y. m. For only two entrances are
made each day by the guides with
parties Of sightseers. But there was
plainly a providence i'm the matter,
for as soon as we stopped at the
mouth OF the ave the order went out
for every body to put out his bedding
and extra clothing &c dry. So the
fences round about and the tops or
the cars and the ground ever was
~festooned with all sorts and colors OF
camping equipment. The rain of the
night before had to some degree got
in the belongings of every one of the
party. So there is a providence in
everything il we will only take note
of ii and the advantage of its oppor
! tunity.
The stay around the mouth of the
cave was not so very exciting, foi
the country about is just the ordinary
broken. barren and rolling ground of
the lower part Of the hills. Even the
statue of the man who discovered
the cav was not compelling with all
OF its invitation to view 1t at close
range. No, not even after the legend
had gone around that he became de-
mented in his explorations and lost
his way in and died alone in the dark
ness of that long tortuous winding
cleavage underground among the
broken strata of the underlying lime
stone of the hills. 1t is rather more
interesting to be told that biologists
declare it to have been made by the
draining off Of the water from the
prehistoric swamp OF the Bad Lands
district through Buffalo Gap. Where
IL went out Of the cave / have never

for the present and it is not all water

every question. Life is too short fol
that. One had better stick to his owl

the gallery was %eortuous as to both
altitude and latitude. Besides, (most
of the time) one could not get out OF

Big ENTERTAINMENT
IS ALL Set TO GO
MUCH ENTHUSIASM SHOWN IN
HAND COUNTY'S FIRST BIG
CORN SHOW
MAY Be ESTABLISHED
AS ANNUAL FEATURE
Preparations Made to, Serve Supper to
1900 People-Carnival and
Dance on Program

County Agent in charge of exhib-
its at the Corn Show reports samples
for exhibit are beginning to come in.
Reports reaching his Office indicate
a keen interest in the contest Dec. Is
and IA.
Hand County farmers, this week,
received a personal announcement Of
the Auditorium Dedication, Corn Show
and Frolic. Included was a list OF
the various products for which prem
iums are offered. Present indications
are that this Corn and Grain Show
will be the largest vel held in this
section Of the state.
The Carnival both evenings will be
a regular joy-fest. The committee in
charge Is leaving no stone unturned
to make this a happy occasion long
remembered.
Poceeds from the Carnival and
Dance will be utilized for equipping
the Auditorium.
For those who have never aelected
corn for exhibition, perhaps a few sug-
gestiOns as to what to look for, may
be timely.
The ears should be heavy, solid, well
matured, well proportioned and dry.
TIVE kernels should be deep. wedge
shaped and should cover the ear
from butt to tip in straight rows. Tho
tip should be well rounded. The ears
should all be OF uniform size and
shape with the same number of rows
on each ear. The cart should be as
near the same length as possible.
Avoid the largest and longest ears,
these generally make the poorest ex-
hibit. Discard immature, starchy.
very rough, discolored, diseased ears.
and ears of odd shape and size. Avoid
ears with shallow, wide kernels.
Throw out yellow ears that are mixed
with white kernels, and white ears
that are mixed with yellow kernels.
Also throw out. yellow ears with white
cob and white ears with red cob.
For this district the State Corn
Show regulations sIecify that ears
should not exceed eight inches. Most
OF our best corn is over eight inches
in length, and this rule will not be
rigidly adhered to, In the Miller Show.
In bringing or sending the exhibit,
IL is advisable to wrap the ears in
newspaper to prevent kernels being
broken or separated from the cob.
