they lived until 1915. In March
of that year, having sold this farm,
the family returned to Sank
Centre, where a home was built on
Birch street. Here they resided,
actively interested in the work of
the Methodist church and of the
Oddfeilow and Rebecca lodges, un-
til the death of the wife and
mother in November 1923.
Since that time the deceased has
made his home with his sisters in
Long Prairie. He continued to
manage his farming interests near
Sank Centre until two years ago
when he was stricken with heart
disease, which compelled him to
abandon practically all active in
terests.
A twin sister Henrietta died in
1896. He is survived by his son
Donald Kephart and by two sist-
ers, Marion Lewis, and Mrs. J. D.
Van Dyke, of Long Prairie.
The funeral was held from the
Long Prairie Methodist church
Tuesday afternoon at 200 o'clock,
conducted by the pastor, Rev.
James A. Geer. The remains were
laid to rest in the family lot in
Greenwood cemetery, Sank Centre
at 400 p. m. Services at the
grave were conducted by the Odd
Fellows lodge of this city.
The deceased was a splendid cit
izen. 1t was his special delight to
render an act of kindness to those
less fortunate than himself
He will be greatly missed in the
circle in which he circulated.

PARKS OPEN EARLY

Washington, April 6.-National
parks of the United States will open
this year two weeks earlier than
usual, because the past season has
been mild and there are no heavy
SHOWS barring the parks from use,
the superintendent of Yellowstone
park and assistant director of the
park service, Horace NJ. Albright
announced recently.

lows.
The season in the national parks
will this year open two weeks earli-
er than usual Horace NJ. Albright,
assistant director of the service is in
Washington after having just COM
pleted a visit TO each of the lmpor-
tant national parks of the West.
This early opening will be due to
the fact that the past season has
been mild and there are no heavy
SHOWS barring the parks from use.
Where the northern parks are
usually opened about June Is, the
bars will this year be down about
June /. Those who travel by rail
will have little opportunity to take
advantage of this early opening be.
cause the railroads must maintain
their regular schedules in offering
special rates and providing for ad-
vantageous visits to the parks. The
automobile tourist, however, makes
up the great majority of the more
than two million people who every
year visit the parks, and he may
this year enter two weeks earlier
than usual.

u. S. SHOWS WAY
IN NEW FIELD
OF EDUCATION
Home Study Method OF
Training Adult Work
ers Gains Universal
Acceptance.

Washington, D. C.-America leads
the world In adult education with
more than 200 international home
study schools within its borders and
tens Of thousands Of students scat
tered In every civilized country OF the
globe.
The idea of education by CORE
spondence, which originated In the
United States thirty-flve years ago,
has gained such universal acceptance
that today the enrolment in this coun.
try alone In home study schools Is
equal to three times the combined ros-
ters Of the nations colleges and uni.
versities.
Men and women students taking
home-study courses In business, the
arts, sciences. trades and professions
now number more than 100000. 1t is
shown In survey made public by DR..
John S. Noffsinger, secretary of the
National Home Study Council, S39
Seventeenth ST., Washington. d. G..
while the number of college and uni
yersity students total only 664.OOO.
The home-study movement, with its
more than 200 correspondence schools
is one of the nations major indus
tries today, not only from the stand
point of numbers but from the tuition
fees received. Home-study courses
are one Of the big factors In the spread
of knowledge Of the English tongue
One correspondence school alone has
on its books students from 65 coun
tries, including 3,S41 students in the
Philippines, 500 In Alaska, 13O or
the Isle of Cypress, 1000 In Mexico
and Central America, 800 in China ant
Japan, and 900 In Australia and New

Big Vote Cast For
Natural Gas Service

Elections were held in the five
principal northern Hills towns on
Thursday, April 5th, at which an
almost unanimous vote was cast for
natural gas Franchises to be award
ed to the Montana. Dakota Power
Company. In all five towns there
were 2060 votes cast in favor of the
Natural Gas Franchises, and only
"a votes cast against the Natural
Gas Franchises.
The proposals to bring Natural
Gas into the Black Hills by the
MoDtana-Dakota Power Company
were first presented about the first
of February this wear. After being
considered by the CITY Commits
sioners in the several towns, spe-
cial elections we're called for April
5th to receive the sanction of the
votes to the granting of the Natural
Gas Franchises. The fact that so
few votes were cast in opposition to
the passage of the Franchises is q
very unique situation, IN that it is
very seldom that any proposition
receives approximately 80 per cent
OF he votes cast favorablv.
The actual construction on the
main line, which will start from
he point in the vicinity of Baker,
Montana, will begin about MAY 1st.
The constructl' n will be handled by
the Hope Engineering & Supply
Company, and it is expected that
the work on the main line will pro-
eress at the rate of about two miles
q da,. The Montac a-Dakoia Power
Company expects to have the entire
project completed by November 1st
of this year. The project repres
sents an investment of approx
mately three million dollars.

pany is now serving the towns tf

COUNTY AGENT NOTES

Daniels. Roosevelt and Sheridan
Counties are to have the joint ser.
vice of a District Home Demonstra-
tion Agent, according to agreement
recently signed by the county COM
missioners in each of these three
counties. cooperating with the Mon
tana Extension Service. The Dis
trict Agent will have headquarters
at Plenty wood and will divide her
time in developing Home Demon
stration and All Club work in the
three counties.
The District Agent will own and
operate her own car and will share
Office space and stenographic help
with the County Agricultural Agent
in each county. In order that the
new agent may work effectively, it
will be necessary for all communi-
ties desiring assistance to establish
aud maintain a working oreaniza-
ton OF ten or more interested wo-
men.
Ii is considered desirable that
projects undertaken be district-wide
in scope. Since most communities
have already evidenced interest in
the Kitchen Improvement project,
it is quite probable that this will be
the first major project to be under
taken. Communities desiring help
should communicate at once with
the County Extension AGENTS office.
The District Agent plan will become
effective just as soon as suitable
person can be located to fill the
position.

1t Is supposed that "belittle" was
coined by Thomas Jefferson. At least
he gave the word currency. During
his Presidency an English magazine,
writing Of the faults of American
writer's, said: president Jefferson
talks of bellttling the productions Of
nature Here, of course, the word
means to make smaller. Usually the
term is now used to signify speaking
