The Country Press Club ofMinne
haba county unanimuosly endorsed the
field secretary project as outlined by
the special committee at Yankton, be
ng the first gathering of newspaper,
men in the state to give approval to
the plan for a closer organisation
among the newspaper fraternity.
Gov. Cox charges that tberepub
lican party is "looking backward."
The history of the republican party
has been one of progress, but it has
been wise enough to build upon exper*
iences of the past. The individual or
the party that never looks back, and
continually* plunges into wild experi*
ments is bound to repeat all of the
follies of the past AH sound prog
ress must be based upon past experi
ences, Usually tb* Rin or the party
that is afraid to look back has a past
that Is better forgotten.

A meeting of unusual interest will
be held at Tabor on /ugust 25 and
26th. It will be the celebration of
the 50th anniversary of the first set
tlement of the Bohemian, or Czeck
immigrants to South Dakota. The
parent colony was located at Tabor,
so that is a very appropriate place
for the celebration. The descendents
of that nationality are now quite nu
merous in our state, and they are
among our most prosperous and re
spected citizens. They are planning
on a great reunion, and undoubtedly
there will be a large attendance.
REUNION PROGRAM.
The American Legiou men of Bon
Homme County are planning a full
day's program for the occasion of
their first annual reunion to be held
in Tyndall on the second of Septem
ber. At 10 A. M. will occur the
parade of service men*, each post
marching as a unit and appearing in
uniform. This will be followed by
an address on the court house lawn by
some prominent ex-soldier. At the
noon hour arrangements have been
made for the service men to have
their eats together, each buddy beine
allowed to bring one lady with him.
At two P. M- the sports program will
open at the ball park. This will be
a contest between the various Legion
Posts of the county for a silver loving
cup and will include the following
events: 100 yard dash, 12 pound shot
put, high jump, standing broad jump,
running broad jump, pole vault, hop
step and jump, tug of war and relay
race and baseball. Points will count
five, three and one, for first, second
and third places in each event and
the winners will receive one dollar
for each point. The tug of war will
count ten for first and five points for
second place.
Following tlif sports will be the
big ball game between Wagner and
Yankton for a purse of $250. These
crack teams have not met this season
and the public is assured of a high
class exhibition of bane ball.
A bowery dance will be given in
the evening.
The bands from Springfield, Avon,
and Tyndall will, provide an abun
dance of good music thruout the day.
Business.men thruout the county are
invited to send decorated floats for
the parade in the morning. Ex-ser
vice men are requested to bring their
uniforms for the parade. Facilities
will be provided for changing to civ
ieB afterward if they wish. This will
be the first time that all the service
men of Bon Homme County have been
and svsry

"Prof." Bushnell, the non-partisan

it should be noted that he was only in

All this talk of "splendid isolation'*

the league of nations is not ratified is
nonsense. The United States took a

5ioii Report.
Brookings, S. D. Aug. 19.—The
losses due to tuberculosis in fowls is
something appalling. A lares num
ber of poultry breeders have been
put out of business entirely by tuber
culosis. Thi percentage of affected
fowls is very high in eome flocks, in
some cases running as high as 25 per
cent. This disease is not communi
cable, to man or otherwise it would be
dangerous, but the main loss is finan
cial. "Tuberculosis in chickens is
caused by a germ," says Dr. S.
Weaver, extension specialist in ani
mal diseases at State College. These
germs are scattered by droppings
Here is a real chance for tuberculosis
to be inherited as the eggs frequently
contain the germs. The most promi
nent symptom is commonly called
"going light." The bird gets so
thin that nothing is left but skin and
bones Diarrhoea may be common.
The best way to tr«at an affected, an
imal is to chop off his head. In some
cases it may be well to kill the entire
flock and take a new start. Don't
feed the dead hens to the hogs but
burn them to ashes. Glean out the
henhouse and thoroughly disinfect it.
Spread lime around the pens and
whitewa.-h the house inside and out.
No cure exists, therefore, don't buy
so called "cures."
Brookings, S. D., August 14.— Soon
the lambs will begin to move from
the range and the stock yard to the
farm. Many will be turned in fields
of rape that has been grown in grain
fields. "An old feeder said, a few
years ago," writes James W. Wil
son, professor of animal husbandry at
State College, "that the rape grown
the gruinfields was worth nearly as
much to pasture off with lambs as th.e
grain harvested. Cf course he had
in mind all the benefits derived from
pasturing lambs in a field where the
grain had been harvested, such as in
creased fertility of the soil, the de
struction of weeds, etc."
Several years ago an experiment was
conducted in fattening lambs on rape
pasture, with and without a grain ra
tion. Those fed a grain ration of
oats made a larger gain than those
fed on corn or barley while receiving
rape pasture
This was true for two different sea
sons with two different bunches of
lambs. Those receiving rape pasture
alone made an average gain per head,
daily of .37 and .34 of a pound re
spectively. Those receiving r«pe and
corn made an average daily gain per
head, of .37 and .32 of a pound re
spectively. With the lots that re
ceived rape pasture and oats, gain*
per head, daily were .43 and .38 of a
pound and those that received barley
with the rnpe pasture the gains were
.43 and .37 of a pound. If contem
plating feeding lambs on rape pasture
these facts are well worth keeping in
mind.
Miller. S. D.,—Since the first set
tler built his home in this vicinity
there has been talk of oil and natural
gas. This talk became more strong
when the first artesian well was open
ed and gas came to the surface that
could be lighted with a match. At
one time a well was drilled as deep as
1000 feet and the. smell of gas and
oil was very noticeable. Not very
far from here in Como township, is
spring that has oil on the water as it
bubbles up. This oil may be directly
under that locality. A movement
mav be started to sink a test well at
/i«r*
occasion a great I least satisfy the residents just where
1 this gas and oil are coming from.

A varied diet will not promote

SCOTLAND, BON HOMStE COUNTY, S. D. THURSDAY A^fiVST 19
One may huve an elab
orate equipment or one
which is very simple. A
few wooden spoons, a
and basins and a few
aluminum saucepans, a
pair of scissors and a
candy hook to pull the
boiled sugars on, some
bon-bon cases these may be saved
from lime to time, saving the buying.
The candy thermometer is of the
greatest convenience it Is made of
wood and copper or brass and regis
ters 320 degrees.
s.
When boiling sugar the steam of
kettles and pans should be avoided. A
clear bright day Is best. When sirup
Is cooked to a high degree of heat it
Is apt to sugar. Cream of tartar and
glucose or a few grains of citric aeld
added to the mixture will keep it from
graining. A tablespoonful of glucose,
a quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of
tartar will be enough for a pound of
sugar.
The making of fondftnt is the most
important step in candy making. It is
used in many ways, both as a covering
and also as filling.
It Is far wiser if one has no ther
mometer to make the fondant In small
quantities. To four cupfuls of sugar
add half a cupful of water and a table
spoonful (heaping) of corn sirup or
glucose, or a bit of cream of tartar.
Let It boil, washing down the sides
with a swab to keep the grains from
forming, until when a drop Is added
to cold water it makes a ball which
can just be handled. Pour it carefully,"
not scraping the dish, into a buttered
phitter and let It cool until It can be
handled. Stir with a„wooden spoon
from the edges to the center until it Is
all creamy and smooth. Then pack in
a bowl, cover with a buttered paper
and set away for a day or two. It is
now ready for any of the flavors, col
ors or kinds one wishes to make of It.
The softer the fondant the more de
licious it is for the filling of chocolate
creams. Chill the fondant and mold
in balls chill again and dip quickly
In melted chocolate.

From the Springfield Times.
The three days chautauqua held in
Springfield Friday, Saturday and Sun
day was a success in every way. The
programs were most all well attended
and enjoyed. Tbe Sunday programs
were especial I v" well attended. The
committee having the chautauqua ir
charge are to be commended for their
efforts in bringing this class of en
tertainment to our city and for mak
ing it a success. Usually a town
signs up for the next year's chautau
qua at this season with the chautau
qua manager, but Springfield did not
contract for the return of the Inter
national for next year. The commit
tee felt that Springfield can support
the best in the way of chautauqua en
tertainment and an effort will be
made to secure the best talent next
season that is able to be had. A
few of tbe numbers this season die
not come up to the expectation of the
committee and they propose to con
tract for such talent that will more
