SCHOOL TERM TO
OPEN SEPTEMBER 12
Only a few short weeks of vaca
tion remain for the youngsters until
the 11)21-1922 school year will open.
The summer vacation has sped quick
ly, during which time the school board
has made many changes and com
pleted plan- for the winter schooling.
"The Odd Fellows' building has been
rented lor the coming ear, which will
be used as the second grade. The
school board has a contract for two
years for the building at a rental of
$600 a year. A furnace, toilets and
running water will be installed, as
well as movable sea is and other con
veniences. The building will be used
only by the Odd Fellows as a meet
ing place, and the other organizations
which formerly met there will meet
elsewhere. The renting of this build
ing will relieve the situation some
what, altho it will be necessary to
build a new building or addition with
in the next few years to care for
the constantly growing juvenile popu
lation of the city.
The school building has been thoro
ly cleaned and renovated during the
summer. The rooms "have been kal
somined which improves them con
siderably. The furnace and boilers
have been overhauled and repaired «c
that the entire' building is in shape
and readiness for the opening.
The board has also secured the ser
vices of Dr. Geo. Kirchner and Paul
Calfee, who will act as athletic di
rectors for the coming year. Dr.
Kirchner will have charge of the foot
ball team and schedule, while Paul
Calfee wil have charge of the base
ball team next spring. They will
also have a basketball team this win
ter. This is a fine move on the part
of the board, as the need for athletics
has been demonstrated often in every
«chool

•SOUTH DAKOTA EDITORS
WILLING TO HELP FARMERS
P*iJ advertising was recently run
by giain trade enemies of the U. S.
Grain Growers, Inc., in certain news
paper. of this state in an attempt to
inspire doubt in the farmers' market
ing agency. In every case, the news
paper ran editorial matter
suppoi Ling the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc. This shows that our editors are
farmer-minded, that they have the in
terests of the farmer at heart, and
that they are truly sympathetic of
this nation wide attempt to solve his
business problems. The U. S. Grain
Growers Inc., is not socialistic nor
bolshevistic. It is founded on exist
ing laws, asks no special legislation
and does not expect to upset the law
of supply and demand. It will mere
ly give that law an opportunity to
work without artificial stimulation to
he ruination of agriculture.

New Hardware Store Here
Arrangements have been completed
whereby the Pheifer harness store,
which has been located in the Bentley
building n\t to the Lovenstein store
will move to the building recently va
cated by the Starr Battery company
on Tiiird avenue and an Aberdeen
fiim will occupy the Bentley building
with a stock of hardware.
This change will come as a great
surprise to many. The Aberdeen men
are the Marshall-Wells company and
the Jackson. Hardware firm, who have
a $90,000 bankrupt stock of hardware
which thev are going to bring here
to dispose of. The firms who bought
the stock were unable to handle it and
it was returned to these companie-.
They expeet to open for
business
about the first of next month, accord
ing to what information is at hand.
The Pheifer harness shop has been
in the Bentley building for a number
of years and the new quarter* will
be somewhat smaller. The building ic
on the property recently acquired by
the K. C.'s ard was first occupied by
Francis Martens, who operated a tire
repair shop. Victor Starr started the
Starr Battery company and had quar
ters with Mr. Martens. Mr. Martens
later sold the business to Joe Neuman
and the battery .station and tire re
pair shop recently moved to the Mil
bank Battery company quarters, which
they purchased.

GRANT COUNTY FAIR
PREMIUM EIST
The attractions and entertainments
for the fair have been secured and
plans made for the distribution of the
cash prizes which will be given each
day. Each admission ticket will have
a number, the stub of which will be
placcd in a large barrel. At various
times during the afternoon and even
ing drawings will be made and first
second and third prizes will be given
to the holders of the lucky numbers.
Tliis plan has many advantages over
the plan of last year with a capital
prize of $500 was given to the lucky
holder of the number.
Everything possible i« being done
by the committee of businessmen and
breeders who are cooperating to make
the fair a success this year. It is
hoped that the premium list will at
tract a large number of exhibits to
make the fair worth while to come a
long distance to see. Every farmer
who has vegetables, fruits, grains or
live stock that are good, should briny
them to the fair for exhibition, no*
only in the hope of winning a prixe
but that others can see what Grant
county raises and the good and bad
points picked out for elimination.
After the fair association has done
their share it is up to the people of
Grant county to do their part by ex
hibiting and attending the fair. It is
as much or more to the credit or dis
credit of every citizen ot the county
•whether or not the fair is a success
as it is to the officers and boosters of
the fair. All are benefited by a suc
cessful fair or any other comrrmnitv
project and are injured in a like
measure if the proposition does not
meet with success. The fair does not

to many. In the term o- i'u- w!
home farm was left to a -on. O
Hauer, while the other members
the family did not receive a- hr-ire
a share. At the time the will \va«
made it was the expressed wish of
Mrs. Hauer, according to the testi
mony of witnesses and the will itself
that the farm was to go to Otto Hauer
because of the fact that he had stay
ed there, taken care of the place and
made a home for his mother.
In the appeal to the supreme court
the appellants endeavored to show
that undue influence had been user!
by Otto Hauer to have the will execut
ed in the way it was. The testimony
showed that Mrs. Hauer was quite old
and could not understand English. An
interperter was brought in who ex
plained the will as it was drawn and
was one of the witnesses to the instru
ment..
The farm in question is located in
Alhan township and is one of the fine
farms of the countv.

SOUTH DAKOTA EDITORS'
MEETING AT BROOKINGS
The editors of South Dakota held
one of the most satisfactory and
profitable meetings of their history
at Brookings last week, when they
gathered for a mid-summer meeting
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. More
than 200 newspaper men and their
families were there, which is one of
the largest conventions.
The convention was devoted to TO*,
cial and business meetings, both of
which were very enjoyable. The
"Made at State College1' banquet giv
en Thursday evening was a fine affair
the likes of which not many of the
scribes had ever seen before. To make
the dinner more enjoyable four win
some young ladies of the college gave
some of the "peppiest" vocal music
that has been originated and literally^
brought the diners to their feet with
applause. They were encored time
and dme again and were forced to
cease thru sheer exhaustion. A male
ouartet al~o officiated and rivaled the
young ladies in their exertions. The
famous State college orchestra under
Lhe leadership of Prof Carl Christen
sen, head of the department of music
at the college, gave some fine musical
numbers.
The business meetings were devoted
:*o papers concerning the business of
running a newspaper, merchants ad
vertising. and troubles of the editor.
It is undoubtedly the wish of every
editor that the merchants of his home
town eould have heard the discussions
and the talks given, so that they could
realize the efforts of the newspapers*,
to bring up the standards of their
business.
Another social feature of the con
vent ion was the movie program given
by Mr Estes of the Fad theater,
which encluded steroptican views of
Hawaii and ltit0 feet of motion pic
tures of the same taken by E. R.
Dowdell who recently made a trip
there. The view? were fine, being col
ored to show the gorgeous colors of1
tlie-tropical plants. Views of the boys..',
and girls summer camps which were
taken by state club leader Mr. Scar
bro with a motion picture machine
owned by the college, were also shown.
A very fine concert was given by the
Brookings band on the college campus
Friday evening, assisted by Mis:*,
Byrne Smith, soprano, and the Viking
Male chorus. Saturday the party was
taken to Lake Campbell for a picnic
dinner. Saturday afternoon the Min
neapolis-Kansas City league baseball
game was shown on the electrical
score board for the editors. The score",
board was invented and is manufac-.
tured by a Brookings man and is quite
a wonderful contrivance. Each ball
thrown, each play, as well as the in
ning, balls, strikes, outs, and men on
bases or at bat is accurately shown
at the time it hanoens.
Seeing the State College was on©
of the interesting trips of the con
vention. The entire parly first posed?
for a motion pictui-e, and the machine*
followed them on the trip taking pic-^
tures of the notable happenings. Thesaf
pictures will be shown by the Fox
News service within a few weeks. The*
State college is a growing institution
and South Dakotians who have neveife
visited it should take the first op-^
portunity offered. The school of ag-*
riculture is one- of the finest. Thin
world's record cow, College Bell«j
Wavne and her daughter, College
Belle Wayne Second were exhibited^
/before the party and the camera. Thf
•wily flock of Siberian fat-rump sheep
in the United States is owned by tht|
college and great success is beimj*
had with them. It is hoped that .V
breed of sheep can be brought out bv
a cross between these sheep and thi«,
native sheep which will be able t»
withstand the long hard winters of'
the country west of the Missouri river
and make sheep Raising there a profi
table business. It is one of the mantf
things which the agriculture depart
ment is endeavoring to do.
Grant county was represented at th$
meeting by Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Nel
son, of the Herald-Advance and Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Flaa of the Revillo Ttem«'
I. D. Aldrich, a former resident of the
county as publisher of the Big Ston».
Headlight, was present in his oflicia|
capacity of State Immigration Com*
missioner. Mr. and Mrs. Bert Opsa'f
of the Wilmot Enterprise, represent
