ience that brought responsive
sympathetic feeling from his audi
ence.: He refuted the charges made
against his camp with dignity and
poise and pleaded for fairness
throughout.
It was a splendid return for
Leedom to stage here and although
he was nearly worn out with three
weeks of campaigning. having de-
livered fifty one addresses before
coming here, he won the crowd
over to his side. His voice was
harsh and in conversation was
hardly able to talk above a whisper.
After the meeting a social gather
ing followed and the local COM
mittee brought on the eats in form
of sandwiches and coffee.
Sunday afternoon the highway
commissioner went on to Sturgis
there to speak Monday afternoon
and to finish the campaign at
Spearfish Monday night.

AS we go to press this Thursday
morning the election returns are
not entirely in owing to the bad
weather and road conditions in
many parts of the state. 1t is con-
ceded however that McMaster has
a safe lead over Sterling and also
that in all likelihood Coolidge is
winner over Johnson
A peculiar aspect of the race in
the primaries this year is the odd
alignment of candidates. Sterling
lined up with Coolidge but was
himself defeated. McMaster lined
up with Johnson for president and
the latter is apparently refused by
the voters. This appears to the
Press as a h, althy sign from the
voter, who refuses TO DC told what
to do. but does his own sane think
ing. choosing the candidate and
what he stands for rather than the
ticket as politicians prepare it for
him.
1t would further appear that the
victOrv. for Coolidge is to great
extent due to the spirit of fairness
SO inherent in the mind of the
American citizen voter. 1t seems
that voters felt that Coolidge had
not had a fair chance and should
not be blamed for the mud that
has come to the surface at Wash
ing on of late. Fair minded South
Dakotans are willing to give him
a fair chance.
As the campaign for U. S. Sena-
tor grew warmer the Sterling
forces resorted to means and cf-
forts which the Press questions as
beinr on the high moral level on
which q party primary contest
ought to be conducted. 1t would
seem thaff Hans Ustrud. Sterlings
campaign manager, grew too anX-
ious for his chief and put out
advertising matter that had best
be kept in the office. Then too

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

by County superintendent
The recent tuberculosis Seal and
Bond Sale which was carried on
throughout the county has been
very successful. The returns were
$277.24 leaving a deficit of $22.76.
We hope to be able to report that
this amount is realized through
donation and thus bring our
record up to the $500 mark. At
any rate the amount is great
enough so that we feel sure that
we shall be able to offer the Clinic
which has been mentioned so often
in connection with the sale.
We are proud Of the high ave
rage of teachers salaries in Jack
son County. From reports from
various County Superintendent's
throughout the state we learn
that the general average is higher
here than in any other county that
has yet reported. The rusult of
higher salaries is shown by the
high percentage of above average
teachers employed in Jackson
County. Our percentage of teach
ers holding First Grade and State
Certificates is a great deal higher
than other counties. Result of
better qualified teachers-Better
Schools. Result of higher salaries
Better Teachers. Therefore high
er salaries mean improved educat-
ional opportunities. We list the
general average for the county.

HOW TO RAISE
RARY CHICKS

The baby chick must be kept
comfortable and must be fed with
extreme care For the first "a
hours it must have no feed, but
remain as quite as may be in its
incubator. The next day it is fed
six times-just six-and in those
feedings it gets one fifteenth part
of small handful of steel cut
oatmeal or cracker crumbs, or stale
dry bread crumbs. On the third
day 1T gets the same feed, plus a
fraction of lettuce leaf or some
other green stuff. On the fourth
day. its supply of oatmeal is in
creased about four times, but it is
made to scratch in cut straw or
straw chaff for its meals. On the
NTH day. the noon-day feed is
omitted, but wheat bran is added
TO the ration--pure wheat bran.
1t must be pure, specialist empha-
size; Along with the foregoing
feeds the chicks are to have each
day. whole milk-all they will take
IN from Is to 20 minutes"
That is the exactinp schedule
laid down for the baby chick by
the experts.
The right kind Of care of baby
chicks will make the poultry indus
trv more and more profitable, ex-
perts said MINI. Ae. College.

WHAT CROPS SHOULD BE
PLANTED Kills YEAR

Summary and application of Mach
10 report of u. 5. Department of
AgrGuiture from the Department
Of Farm Economics of State college.
"A grearer reserve OF grain and
iced was shown to be on hand in
both the United States as u whole
ana IN South Dakota on March |
this year than at the same time last
year according to the reports re-
leased March l3 by the United
States Bureau Of Agricultural Ec-
onomlcs. This report indicates to
some extent which crops will be
most proiltable to raise for the
coming year. The report is es-
peclaliy valuable to the farmer who
does not feed all of the crops raised
but has a surplus.
Surplus of Hay in State
While less hay was shown to be
on hand March | this year than
last considering the country rs n
whole. there was about so per cent
more hay on hand in this state than
at the corresponding time last year,
lnasmuch as the summer of 1923
vas a wonderful hay season in
South Dakota. and considering also
the fact that this winter has been
unusually light on feed, it would
be expected that South Dakota
would have quite "a surplus of hay
lon hand at this time.
Poor Corn Crop About Due
The amount Of corn on farms for
the entire nation is larger than last
year. The perccnt of the entire
crop on hand. is however, the same
IS for the 10 year average, which is
BID per cent. In South Dakota
there is 50 per cent Of the crop on
hand where usually at this time
Of the year there is only about q
percent. Tho United States corn
crop was only 800 per cent
mcrchantablc while in South Oak.
ota 81 per cent Of the crop was OF
good quality. The last four years
have been wonderful corn years
The chances are, if statistics ant
the law of averages are to be re-
led upon, that n poor corn crop i.
about due, If such should he tho
case, there is not sufficient surplus
of corn on hand to more than sup
ply the ordinary trade.
Farm Wheat Supply Law
Were it not for the foreign situa
tion wheat would appear to bc ;
good bet for this year. The amoun
Of wheat ON the farms IN. tn,
I United States March |. was 25,OOO,
600 bushels less than the 10 yea
average. There was only l7.2 DC
cent Of the 1923 crop on han,
where ordinarily at this time ther
is 1872 per cent on hand. In Soutl
Dakota there was II percent of tn
1923 crop on the farm where usual
~ "a per cent of the previous year
wheat is on hand at this time.
The supply of oats on farm
!: March lst was. greater than 70
| several years. but was under the /
. year average. At this time of yea
, there is usually 81 per cent of tn
oat crop remaining on the farm.
, while this year 34.2 per cent wa
on farms. There was Al per cen
, of the 1923 crop of oats on Sout

SUPREME COURT
GIVES BALLOT
REVERSES DECISION AND AL
LOWS UNORGANIzEp COUNT
les TO VOTE

/ A long winded article giving tho
opinion of the attorney general
denying the right of electors Of
unorganized counties to the ballot
on state and national issues, which
was printed in full in these col
umns last week, was reversed
speedily by the state supreme court
when the matter was forcibly
brought before that body.
1t appeared to the Press as q
disfranchisement of legal residents
and voters of the state and this
paper rejoices with the good pio-
neers Of the unorganized territories
involved that they are established
on an equal footing with the rest
Of the white people of this state.
Practically all of the election
supplies had been gotten ready
when the attorney generals ruling
came like thunderbolt annihilat-
ing all prospects for the dwellers
in pioneerland to vote. Later
another opinion allowed them to
hold their own local elections.
Material for the latter was then
delivered by the sheriff and his
deputies.
The surprise of local county of
ficials was great when news reach
ed here Monday that the state
supreme court had ruled for the
ballot in the unorganized counties.
No word had COM from Pierre up
to. that time. A message sent re-
ceived the confirmation Of the
news rs reply. Miss Dithmer our
auditor then got busy and packed
up the sunnlies for the precincts
in Washabaugh county and handed
them to the sheriff. Mr.. f. H.
Holmes in turn found it impossible
to cover the 200 miles to all the
reservation precincts in time for
the election Tuesday morning. He
tried his best to deputize some
willing assistants, but alas. no one
was willing to venture out into the
bottomless roads Of the reservat-
ion. The sheriff then boldly start
ed out alone. Night overlook him
before he had reached Wanblee
and he turned hack. Thus the good
people of the reservation were de-
privcd Of their chance to express
their sentiments on state and nat
ional problems and candidates at
the primary election and it must
all be laid at the door Of Indifferent
officials at the capitol. Had the
attorney general consulted with
the supreme court it might not
have been necessary for him TO
hand down that opinion. Ii after
receiving the supreme court de-
cision he had had the common
courtesy to tell the counties effect
ed, there would have been ample
time left to give the unorganiZed
counties their chance to vote. But
neither one was done and local
authorities are in no wise to be
blamed for it.
The case mentioned came To a
head rapidly when a resident Of
the unorganiZed county Of Shan
non got out mandamus proceed
ings against the auditor Of Fall
River county to distribute election
supplies to the county. The case
was heard before Judge Miser of
Rapid Citv. He upheld the con-
tention Of the plaintiff. An appeal
was at once made to the state
supreme court. That body gave
it's opinion last Friday. II was a
speedy court action and one which
might he proiitably followed by
other courts TO expidite Justice.

For this occasion MIR. Woods has
secured the services Of Major Cour-
sey South Dakotas educator, sold

that division superintendent Chris
Jefferson of the Milwaukee railroad
will accompany MIR. Coursey over
the reservation and also speak TO
the teachers and the good people
Of Wanblee and vicinity.
This is fine opportunity for the
people of the reservation to hear
two state wide known men and it
is hoped that many will avail them
selves of this opportunity.
