Senate approves bills on nonpolitical judicial elections and school officer polls
The senate passes measures for non political elections for supreme circuit and county judges and for school officers to be elected at regular municipal elections. It argues women voting at both categories removes need for separate elections and notes historical reasons. The Sioux City Tribune item predicts a Seattle Gulf passenger train via Aberdeen Sioux City Omaha to Kansas City and beyond. The piece also discusses language education in public schools, English language requirements, and parochial schools. It mentions a congressional bill to cut the standing army to 175,000 and that it passed over the president's veto, with focus on trained officers and reserves rather than a large standing army.

Amendment to school law sparks farm education debate
An effort last Thursday to amend the school law to place mower pricing and schooling choices under local boards rather than the county superintendent promptedRep Slocum of Campbell county to argue that farm life should educate South Dakota boys. Steadman of Union county countered that education away from the farm often results from hard work. Bartling of Hutchinson urged farm labor needs in his county. A roll call on Slocum's amendment finally showed 81 against and 12 for, with the twelve attempting to secure unanimous defeat. The group listed includes Larson Yankton, Rogneas Lincoln, Gerber Lincoln, Schrag Turner, Friedrich Bartling Hutchinson, Krell Aurora, Nyquiet Gregory, Eastman Roberts, Wallace Marshall, Slocum Campbell, Wentzy Pennington. Bartling has published a lengthy critique of the Language Bill in the Hutchinson Herald, arguing it would overhaul parental rights and place child authority over parents, a point he links to wartime experiences.

Compost Heap From Garden Waste
A guide from the United States Department of Agriculture explains starting a compost heap with stable manure and garden refuse. Build an eight by six by two foot bed, layer manure then refuse, cover with a one foot layer of manure, mix in spring, and allow continual adding for heating. The process destroys weed seeds and improves material for hotbeds and cold frames.
