ABOUT FIRE ~HYDRANTS

Since the fire last Thursday, the
much heated discussion by practically
everone in the city SO w undertook to
learn as much as possible about the
subject from competent authorities.
The nature of the construction Of a
fire hydrant explains practically the
whole thing. The theory that fire
hydrants should be tried out nee a
month to make sure they are working
Is based on a false idea for a hydrant
is constructed 50 that no matter if it
has never been used in twenty years,
water can be turned Oh. BY using a
hydrant too often it soon wears out.
Water is controlled by a leather gas
ket or plug that is held up against the
hydrant opening in the main water
pressure. This plug is connected to
the top Of the hydrant by a rod. When
the hydrant is turned on this rod
pushes the plug down into the main
and lets the water into the hydrant.
This plug is bound to yield to the force
of the rod since there is nothing but
the water pressure holding it up. With
continued use this leather plug might
become worn or broken and then it
would be impossible to shut off the
water. The less the hydrant is used
the better condition it is in. The mat
ter of mains becoming plugged up with
sediment and mud is a different prob
lem and only occurs at dead ends Of
the mains where water is not flowing.
This can be corrected by flushing out
the ends of the mains occasionally
where the sediment accumulates.

chickens, hogs and seed. The work
has progressed SO rapidly that Mel,
lette county is already well known for
its certified seed and blooded stock,
and the boys and girls clubs have been
responsible for many OF these agricul
tural enterprises.
The cooperation existing between
Mr.. Kirch and the rural communities
OF the county has been unusual, and
COmplished when a business man
works with the farmer and his child
rem in developing agricultural re-
sources.

firmation, the case is cited of one
metropolitan church which increased
its loose collection to $3.50 in two
years. advertising" continues the
statement, lifts the standard of
preaching and service to come up to
the adyertising.'
Here is a clear cut Endorsement of
the Bishop OF A~fanchester's views by
one Of the largest religious ~organiza-
tiOns in this country. Both the Bishop
and the 400 ~clergymen attending the
Chicago conference hold that as other
good causes are promoted by the ju-
diclous use OF newspaper advertising
there is no reason why the cause of
religion itself should not be advanced
by the same methods.

CHURCHES. AND ADVERTISING

New York Herald-In an address be-
fore an important Church of England
assemblage a year & the Bishop of
Manchester urged churches to initiate
theg reat industrial and commercial
concern by making use Of newspaper
advertisinb. Now comes a Church fed
GRAFTON committee in Chicago with the
same advice.
"The most effective way to reach
the crowd and interest them in the
church is through the daily newspa-
pers In. cities of 100000 or more In
habitants." says the committee. II
makes the further statement that Il,
pays In dollars to advertise and. by
way Of specification in support of al

The more he gives the more he gets
is the Nemesis that seems to pursue
Americas champion giver, John ID
Rockefeller. Despite all contrary
claims, the Rockefeller fortune is con.
sidered the greatest in America. John
ID. has been nj OF the most systematic
and persistent planners to dispose of
his millions where they will do the
most good. He gave away 100 millions
at one time in 1919, half of this huge
sum went to the general education
board and half TO the Rockefeller foun-
dation. His gift total then was 500
Llillion dollars. Since then he has
given away nor then 60 million. He
has given away several hundred times
as much money as he has spen; during
his entire Lifetime. II it were to be
divided equally among all the people in
the United States it would amour to
about five dollars apiece. In the way
Rockefeller has given it, hundreds of
colleges and hospitals have been built
or endowed all over the world and mil
lions Of people have received greater
benefits than could be measured In
dollars.

The Register cannot see where any
benefit would arise if the state regis
lature should remove the school for
the blind from Gary to Sioux Falls 20
be operated in connection with the
deaf-mute school and the further re-
moval of the girls from the reform
school at P~lankington to the buildings
at Gary. 1t would be an injustice to
the blind for they couldn't have a bet
ter school than the one at Gary and
further, a blind person has nothing in
common with a deaf-mute except that
one has all of the faculties that the
other hasn't. Methods of teaching are
necessarily so different that they must
be carried on in separate schools. II
a place to segregate the girls in the re-
form school must be found some place
else beside Plankington, Sioux Falls
would % well chosen for there the un-
fortunate girls could escape small town
gossip and begin building character.

n optimism for the success Of the
plan, and in September, when the coqn-
ty fair was held at Wood, the corn
raised by the Kirch club members at
tracted much favorable attention. Each
member exhibited 10 ears of corn
raised on his acre, and because of the
interest shown by the leader and his
boys, the corr SHOW was one of the
best features Of the county fair.
In order to promote some rivalry in
the club, Editor Kirch offered as an
award a silver loving cup for the best
corn displayed and it was awarded to
Theodore Palmer. That year the acre
yield record went to Edwin Gustafson,
who had % bushels. At the next corn
show held by the boys club and their
leader, the silver cup was awarded to
Raymond Sawyer for the best display
Of ears. In 1920 Jake Krieger won the
cup and he also took ii again in 1921
for raising the best corn on his acre, so
that now The leaders award is per-
manently kept by Jake. That year
Cary Schaffer won a thoroughbred
Hampshire gilt for having the largest
yield, a bushels.
! This club and the work begun by
Editor Kirch in that one community
have been remarkable for enthusiasm
and organization. The first year the
boys worked on the club project there
were Il members, the next year there
were 30 boys interested in carrying
on the development of better corn for
Mellette county.
Since the first years work, corn
specialists have talked to the club
boys, motion pictures have been shown
and ~banquets, meetings and corn
shows have kept the members inter
ested. In 1917 a Wisconsin corn was
used for seed, but since then the mem
bers have taken a yellow dent corn
and developed it into the Rosebud
King" which is used extensively, not
only by club boys but by other corn
growers in the county.
Not once has Editor Kirch lost his
interest in the project; he has provid-
ed another silver trophy and has con
tinued his leadership with the boys.
Further development of this corn club
and other boys and girls o~rganiza-
tons has resulted from his efforts
which started in 1917. The Mellette
County Pioneer Corn Growing club
(named for the Kirch newspaper was
tho frEt 90 :; E;nI -, +l,t ,o,+:o.,
but since then other clubs have been
started. Various activities now main
tanned by the county agent and the
stae extension service are he purebred
Hereford cow and calf club and Hamp-
shire hog and chicken clubs. The lat
est activity assumed by the girls of
Mellette county is a sewing project
which has already been most success
full in its accomplishments.
Perhaps if Editor Kirch had not or
%iginated his corn club, these other ac-
t~ivities would not have had such aus
piciOus beginnings. Boys and girls of
the county watched with interest-and
some envy-the good times, the corr
shows, the award of trophies which
the corn club boys enjoyed, they saw
the achievements Of the Pioneer grow
ers and they wanted to start club
work, too. SO in a few years, many
boys and girls of this one county have
developed a great interest in agricul-
ture through their club projects with

pipe and some good pipe tobacco TO
him around December 25th.
Or, If he already has a pipe that he

the tobacco alone makes a full-size gift.
Other advantages of good pipe to-
bacco as a Christmas present include
the following:
You don't have to engage In any
detective work to find out his size,
favorite color, or other specifications.
And it doesn't make any difference
whether he ALREADY has plenty" or
not: nor need you be concerned lest
your gift be duplicated. =
Aman can smoke up a lot of tobacco
between this Christmas and next;
while the humidor jar, in which we put
up a pound of Edgeworth, keeps the
tobacco in prime condition indefinitely.
Edgeworth is a tobacco that practi-
cally every pipe-smoker likes; it's a
safe choice.
The 16-ounce jar sells for s1.65 at
any tobacco store.
If your regular dealer hasn't enough
glass jars to supply the Christmas
trade, let US play Santa Claus for you.
Send us $1.65 for a jar. "his" name

ing card. Wen do the rest.
Wen pack the glass jar in an appro-
pirate Christmas box, enclose your
card and send it in plenty of time to
reach him before Christmas.
