BUT ONE BALLOT FOR U. S. SENATOR THIS IS I'KOSI'IOCT AT IMIIItlMO, TIIOI Gil (JAMIJIiK'S KltlKNDS AUK XOT AVITHOl'T HOI'K Pierre, S. D.—If reports which come drifting this way are not b-idly muddled before they get this far, Senator H. J. Gamble has not yet giv en up the idea that. Ihe "Gamble Luck" which has attended him so far in his political career, is yet working for him, and he is not allowing that luck to do all the working, btit is quietly boosting it along himself if lie feels that a boost will help any at, any time. At least, it is claimed by those who are abroad in the land that the senator is bilsy in his efforts to build up anti-Sterling sentiment aga. inst the time when the members of the legislature get the last guess as to just who is to be the senator from this state for the next, six years. And while Gamble is busy along that line there are others, and they are not al lowing things to go by default in case there should come a break away from Sterling when the balloting be gins and if there should be a break candidates will be plenty to step into the breach which will be made in the party breastworks about that time, and stop (lie onrush of the enemy, and Gamble will not be alone in such a breach. Of course the backers of Tlios. Sterling as the primary selection are not conceding an inch outside of their claim that they will have plenty of votes to seat him, on the very first, ballot, and it will either be the first or not at all. While all the indications are that Sterling will have a clear majority when it comes to the vote, ind with the safe majority he will get other votes which are willing to vote for him so long as he is a certain winner, but which would go to some other candidate if such move would assure the defeat of Sterling.

TI.e course is being carried on under ihe auspicc-s of ihe South Dakota Belter Panning association, organized nearly a year ago by Aberdeen business men and nearby farmers, for the purpose of promoting an interest in heller meth ods of farming in South Dakota and it has so grown in popular interest thai numbers of county blanches have already been formed and the services of Hie director and manager, have grown in demand so greatlv that it is impossible for him HI fulfill all Ihe calls upon him. The Better Farming course now under waj' includes instruction in crop roiafion, in the proper prepara tion of Ihe soil, in livestock raising, in corn growing, poultry on Ihe farm, alfalfa production, in judging live stock and seed grain, and domestic, science subjects for women and girls. The program includes lectures on various- subjects of interest lo the farmer, by experts in their different lines. The faculty for the course in cludes H. P. Patterson, 1. W. iCllis, M. h. Wilson, F.

HILL IS AGAIN HEAD OF FAIR MITCIIKLIi MAX I'ISI'ISIIMOXT Or ItOAltl).—$12,000 iMAIK BY STATIC IX 101 a. mz Huron, S. 1J. —Secretary C. N. Mcllvaine of the South Dakota state fair association has just, returned from Chicago, where li(» has been for some weeks attending the meeting of the American Association of States Fairs and Expositions, which is held every year at the time the Live Stock show is going on. Besides Mr. Mc-_« llvaine, W. S Hill, Isaac Lincoln, W. C: G. Faulkner and M. L. Tobin of lhe:V South Dakota board were present. The time of holding the various fairs was not changed, South DBkol.nr si 1 1 1 coming the next week after the Nebraska and Minnesota expositions. Mr. Mcllvaine calls this the best* position held bv any stale fair. The fair dates for next year -w111 be Sep tember 0 to 13, and the Sioux City live stock fair will be the week fal lowing. The meeting was the most suc cessful ever held by the American Association and the most productive of good results, in the opinion of Mr. Mcllvaine, the utmost harmony.^ prevailing throughout the meeting. From the reports of the delegates nresent nearly all the fairs in flit country made money during the last year, and but very few reported small crowds- or bad weather. The South Dakota fair realized an approx imate -profit in 1912 of $13,000, and the association owes less than $1,000 at the present time, and has funds coming in to cover this amount. In the past six years the manage ment of the South Dakota exposition has added $30,000 worth of improve fents to the grounds in this city, in buildings, fixtures and general iin provements. The election of officers of the South Dakota board resulted as fol lows: W. S. Hill, Mitchell, president Isaac Lincoln, Aberdeen, vice presi dent J. E. Piatt, Clark, Treasurer C. N. Mcllvaine, Huron, secretary for next two years. It was concedcd i.t the Chicago meeting that the machinery and trac tion exhibit at the South Dakota fair was far ahead of any other lair in the world. There were 2 6 different traction engines here last fall, the nearest to this record being 17 at the Oklahoma fair. Mr. Mcllvaine is very appreciative of the manner in which th managers ot the western fairs are working together, and stated that the success of the South Dakota fair was attributable In considerable measure to the assistance and aid giv en it, by the managers of the Nebras ka. Iowa, and Minnesota fairs. The South Dakota state fair will 'make larger offerings in the premium fore, this being particularly true i» the educational, agriculture atid live stock departments. The motion pic tures made on the grounds during the last fair will lie on display in a short time, and will -be shown in every motion picture house state. In the Want Ads Pay
