There should be no lights. Not
that the expected visitants from

but darkness assists the sitters to
concentrate their minds upon the

Upon being seated the individuals
should clasp hands in a chain.
That is. the individual upon form

How to Hold Seance

Here is the way to conduct the
experiment of a home seance:
Chairs should be arranged in a
circle with no furniture within
the circle.
Three or more persons may
constitute the sitting-the more
persons the greater the chances
for success.

SCHOOL BOARD AP-
POINTS NEW MEMBER

The Board of Education of Ka-
doka Independent School District
met in regular session last Friday
night, as can be seen by their MIN
utes printed in another column.
One of the problems for them to
solve was the appointment of some
one to take the place of J. H. Snv-
der, who moved with his family to
Fort Pierre recentl Their choice
fell upon f. Il. Nellor of the Press.
Jldging from all we know of him
it would appear that their choice
was both wisely and we'll made.
Ed is booster of the FIRST water,
has seen all the ups and downs of
this community for the last seven
teen years and has still faith en-
Ough in it to remove all the noun
tains in the way. He is possessed
of GOOD common sense, one of the
best qualifications for a board
member of this kind that we know
of. Besides he has five children in
the various departments of the
school. He ought to be therefore,
and is, vitality interested in the pro-
"ress and welfare of the ',blic in
stitutiOn of instruction of the
young and his manv friends will
hail his acceptance of the response
bility with delight.

GAS WAR COMES TO
KADOkA FOR ANOTH-
ER INNING

Gasoline received a cut to the
very bottom last Tuesday when
Geo. (Curley) Hawkins of the Ser
vice Filling Station put UP signs
For. a week previously Thomas
Brake of the Custer Filling Sta
ton and J: l. White, the hardware
man on Main street, had dropped
to IL cents so as to harmonic
their prices with those of Rapid
City where Gov. McMaster drama
tically forced price cut from 70
to lS cents. Our dealers wanted
to get on the same footing with
the gate city dealers so as to catch
a lot of the through traffic that
might otherwise pass on and fiji
up at the Black Hills gate.
j. l.. White was the first to get
IN line with lS cents as a retail
price. He said IF they can sell
it at that price elsewhere, so can
we here. and up went a sign IL
lents.
Curly Hawkins countered, say
ing, There is nothing in it at that
price. | have other means for q
livelihood. Mrs. Hawkins will give
her time to the gas business and
we will sell at II cents" and up
went three signs in red as men
Toned above.
w. ID. Vice, who distributes gas
,ine from here for the Standard
Oil Company had no comment to
make on the question, but ventur-
ed to give the Wholesale price to
lealers as 1873, which is correct.
This leaves them a margin of 1.2
.ents over the wholesale price and
whether five stations, the number
low here, can exist on that mar
gin, especially now that the tour.
ist season is at a close, is a big
lnestion and the law of the SUR
ival Of the fittest may come into
play.
If this keeps up there will be an
aggravated question next summer
when. if the Press has been IN
ormed correctly, two more gas
4tations will ~o up on Main street.
aid to consider this field.
Although the gas price at ka-
loka is perhaps now the lowest
nywhere west of the river, it is
right in line with the condition
that prevailed the past summer.
While prices were as high as 30
cts most anywhere and even Rap
It City was charging g, the high
st price in Kadoka was q and at
hat very time anybody could have
III the gas he wanted for 26 cents
1t Jack Thomas
1t is therefore apparent that Ka-
loka has been and continues to be
IN oasis as far as gasoline prices
re concerned.

she climbed the spokes of the hind
wheel unnoticed by Mr.. Gustad

little one was violently thrown
forward and under the wheel.
Luckily the wagon was empty,
but nevertheless the child receiv-

THE VITAL RURAL

The low prices the farmer re-
elves for what he produces and
he high prices he pays for what
ic must buy involve several prob
ems. But more vital problem is
involved in the cheapest thing the
armcr uses. That is the country
school. Ii is too cheap. Reports
eceived this year from about half
f the counties in the United
states show that there are $1,000
ne-tcacher schools in these coun-
les and that the average salary
paid the teacher is S729. The pity
is that thousands of teachers re-
gard that low average as princely.
N ~ states 3,l0O teachers of one
cacher schools receive less than
$500 ear. In 32 States 1880
teachers receive between $500 and
$500; in "a states $3.50 receive be-
sween S4O0 and $500. in 40 States
l.3k7 receive between $500 and
$500; in ~ States 1926 receive be-
tween $50 and 500; in 40 States
l6,432 teachers receive between
500 and $500. or something near
the average of 1929. More than
half the teachers are thus account
ed for but is little consolation To
them to know that the other half
receive more than $729.

teachers in rural schools in 1923 is

WATER MAINS ARE
BEING TAPPED FOR
SERVICE THIS WEEK

Postmaster Otto c. Sharon, al
ways believing in what is best fOr
kadOka and progressive booster
tor the better things of com
munity, was first on deck to tar
the watermains and bring the Sc
much desired Adams ale under
pressure into his place on Main
street. Actual connections were
made Tuesday. On Monday an ac-
cident to Mr. Canney's tapping out
fit, in which he almost lost a drill,
postponed the connection for a day
or until new equipment could be
secured from Rapid City.
Jack" Thomas also believes in
modern conveniences. Although
the water mains are clear acros.;
the street from his Ford garage
he nevertheless followed Mr.. Shar-
on right up and the mains were
tapped for him on Tuesday also.
Mr.. +. B. Davis promises to be
the next man to get connected w
with the new water system. He
is having the trenches dug and all
him to turn the faucet when he
lie waits aqua IbuIi u.
r. N. Ronds had a trench dug
and pipes laid sometime ago in the
rear of the Service filling station
as far as the road. He will no
doubt connect up soon SO that he
wont have to haul any more water
to cool his electric light machine
when he~runs it.
There will no doubt be many to
want water in their homes and
places Of business this fall. We
are not trying to foster any parti-
cular business at the expense Of
another, but for the looks of our
village and our streets IN partlcu-
lar, it is very desirable that as
many taps as possible be made this
fall. If the tapping is prolonged
for several years it will cause our
streets to be churned up all the
time. They will be rough and
muddy and an eyesore to everyone
with speck of civic pride in him.
Besides the visitors coming here in
such numbers as they are, will not
take with them the best impres-
sion. 1t would therefore be advis-
able to think of this w ork now, SO
that we may have our streets in
as ood a condition rs possible to
make and keep them.
The Press has just furnished the
village dads with a set Of water
tanning contracts and permits and
thev are ready to take care Of YOU,
advise and council with you on
this problem. See Mr. A. S. White
if you want to get connected up.
