MAJOR COURSEY
ADDRESSED GRADUATES
South Dakotas educator, soldier
and poet, major O. W. Coursey of
.Mitchell, so well and favoiably
known in this section, once more
appeared on the local platform last
r riday evening before a trackedhouse to deliver the commePce-
inent address.
In his address to the graduates
Major O. W. Coursey, id Mitchell,
took ior his subject "The Harp otCite.” He divided the address in-
to three sect-ions- life in general,
life in particular, and the combat-
ting sgnritual influences that strug-
gle to control it.
In the way of* introduction he
said: “Jest as we were going into
battle on the Marilao river twelve
miles straight north of Manila in
the Philippine islands on the hot
sultry morning- of March 27. 1899
a Flilipino family, consisting of the
father, mother, and little girl about
ten years of age, whose small bam-
boo hut lay directly between the
two opposing armies which were
less than a mile apart, sought to
make their way out of the zone of
lire around our right flank.
‘‘Hastily packing their scantj
household contraptions onto a two
wheeled cart drawn by a Chinese
pony, they climbed in and took
their places on the front seat which
consisted of a hinged-board turned
backward,
—the father on the left-
hand side, as is the custom of the
Filipinos, the mother on the right-
hand side, and the little girl be-
tween them,
"As they passed by in front ot
where we were, with the horse run-
ning fit 'break-neck speed,—the
father beating it with a piece of
bamboo at every jump that it took,
the little girl’s harp, about JO in-
ches high, made of hand-hewn ma-
hogany. inlaid with sea-shells fiom
Manila bay, and containing 28
strings, jostled off of the hack end
of the cart when the y hit a rice-
dyke and fell to the gi omul.
"As we came up to it in our mad
rush forward in a deadly charge
upon the Filipinos’ lines, 1 stooped
hurriedly to grab it up. As I did
so, the man directly behind me was
shot,
—he receiving the bullet that
was intended for me.
‘ Inasmuch as the little girl’s harp
had saved mv life, I called it ‘Mv
Fife’s. Harp;’ and from it I cnvolved
tlie subject upon which I shall
speak to you tonight "The Harp I
of Fife.”
This catchy introd.ution immed-
iately arrested the attention of ‘ ne |
large audience, and Mai< r Comseyj
found it easy t> hold llieir attent- ’
ion for the c-o.ung.
During D-.* first part <1 bis ad-:
dress the s;> alter dibnid file,
showed the value of each day dis-
cussed the c imp > i a* .ye v.iiue ol
dollars ,»iul iif*; set forth var.»:is!
rules for mey ring die anil closed |
it with a comparison of the I ves ol -
Methuselah and Roosevelt.
As an introduction to the second
part of the address life in paiticn-
lar tlui speaker said: “Every child
born into this world alive is pri-
marily a tiny stork’s egg so small
that if you were to place it under
a powerful microscope and enlarge
it to 179 times its own diameter, it
would still only be equal in size to
an ordinary copper penny. This
tiny insignificant egg aln ost in-
visible to the keenest I nman eye
is cultured by the ess ue<* of the
father's blood. Dame Natuie cau-
ses it to grow for thrt quarters of 1
a year. Then the i'niry-vinged
Angel of Birth descends into the
birth chamber where the curtains ,
arc drawn and the lights are binn-
ing low; ushers it forward through '
tho gate-way of life into the arena j
of action; breathes into one tiny I
nostril the breath of life, into the;
other asovereign will* and the
child becomes a full-fledged soul
ready and willing to begin to play
its tune upon the harp of its life. ’ :
He. set forth the seven stages ot
human existence; discussed the 1
whole range of life with its multi-
plied experiences from the cradle 1
to the grave; and then took up
the last phase of his theme.
He declared: "Every man is both
real and ideal. What he is today is;
his real. That which ho hopes
sometime to become is his ideal.
The carriage in which he rises
from his real to the attainment ot
his ideal is his soul-oplane lhe
motor that propels it upward in its
onward course is the human will.
The current that generates the
motor is spirituality. And just so
long as that current is turned on,
man’s soul-oplane continues to rise;
but the moment that he himsolt,
by some sinful act of his own, dis-
connects the current, that moment
his soul-oulane floppies over to
perdition. True—he may have ac-
quired such a momentum, and may
have risen to such a commanding
height of goodness, that ho may bo
able, as we say. to volplane lor a
little while and save himself; hut,
in the end, unless that current is
reattached through repentance,
faith,- prayer, and obedience to di-
vine law. just that sure his soul*
oplane will keep on plunging down!
—down —dowM! —until it smashes
itself into fragments on the incin-
erated crags of hell.”
Mr. Coursey enriched the address
throughout with quotations from
the world’s classics, used sever a J
poems of his own composition, and
closed with a stirring appeal to the
graduates to select the right road
to travel through life.
The appreciative audience diank
in every bit of the spirit and nund
refreshing intellectual treat. The
GREATER PROFITS BY
CONTROLLING INSECTS
> Twenty percent of the fruit raisei
. in South Dakota, a like amount o!
, the state’s garden and truck cropsj 15 percent of the legumes raiseij for both hay and seed, 5 percent of
. the wild hays and forage crops am
. 5 percent of the cereal crops an
, distroyed by insect pests, on tin
average each year. When this bil
, is charged up against tin* 74,0(K
, farmers in the state it is easily
seen that it will total up into ;
1 staggering sum. Insect contro
should In* made a regular farn
practice, regardless of the crop in-
; volved, and the sooner this praet
; ice is put into effect, the smallei
• will lx* the annual agricultural
! leak caused bv these pests.
Take, for instance, the case of
, home grown fruits. The farm and
i home orchard can be made tc
materially reduce the annual food¦ budget as well a* supply food ratedin this state, in tin* luxury class.|lt is no longer possible* to grow
worm loss fruit without spraying,j But tho spraying expense is, slight,
! running not more than five tcieight cents per year for the average
I mature apple tree. As one example
of the profit
.to Ik* derived fromj spraying there is the ease of Al. <),
Miehelson. a Lincoln county farmer,
who picked 350 bushels of sound
i apples from 25 trees that werei sprayed for tin* first time last year,j More than 200 bushels of the apples
were marketed locally at a good¦ Price. Previous to last year hisj fruit had been so wormy that he
| did not bother with it but turnedthe hogs in the orchard. '
Everyone has, or should have, a
good garden during these times of
low income, vet few can get goodyields of first class vegetables
without controlling the hugs.
Where efficient garden spraying is
practiced little insect trouble is
generally the rule. The cost is
negligible when compared with the
value of tic* crop. Two dollars
'worth of spray material and a four
of five dollar sprayer is sufficientj for flic o.vo! go farm garden for
'the tear, and then the sprayer is
i left for the next year,
i The commercial potato grower¦is one South Dakota farmer who
believes in insect control. No
good potato grower would think ofjattempting 10 grow a crop without
-qinrving. He makes potato spray-
ing a part of his regular f irm
i praet ice.
Insect control under field cou-
! ditions is not prohibitive fromj either a financial or labor stand-
point. .To illustrate: In 1922 a
! questionnario was sent to represen-jtative farmers in various parts of
' the state who find used poisoned
bran mash h r grasshopper c :nt tol.
I (This pest almost devastated whole
1 communif ie;, jlhat season). Foitv-I five of these farmers filled out.
these questiennnrios aid retained
them. These 15 men spent a total
of $5(30 ini poison and estimated
a total saving of 818,355. This
averages sl’( per man for poison
v. itli an nvoi.'.ge saving of over
8100 per nia a It is admitted lfi.it
this is unusual and probably above
the average but nevertheless, it
shows that i can be done and at a
cost that is absolutely within
everyone’s i ach.

HIRAM JOHNSON RELEASES
SOUTH DAKOTA DELEGATES
No surprise was felt when early
this week Senator Johnson sent
word to his South Dakota political
managers to release thi* thirteendelegates who were to vote for him
under Pete Norbeck’s banner.
This will mean that they can
now fall in with tho man who put
Cal in California and heat Hiram
right in hi r own home town. Or
they can chase the rain bows andfall in with the radicals if they
so choose, Coolidge does not need
them, so they can do just as they
please without effecting the final
outcome. They might just as well
stay at home and help with the
chores since they won’t l>o needed
in the national convention.

FOREST FIRES ENVELOPE
COUNTRYSIDE IN SMOKE
On Friday.. Saturday and Sunday
with prevailing northerly winds
ihe entire country .side was shroud-
in in a screen of smoke, so much
that at times the sun appeared in
! different huf burning wood was plainly per-
cept ible.
Reports from Montana indicated
the source of tin* annoying smoko.
F’oro-t fires were raging in the
Missoula district .and apparently
out of control. One of them ex-
iending over a front of nine miles.
With shifting winds early this

EIGHTH GRADE EXAMS
t FOR THURSDAY AM) FRIDAY
; The yourwl of the school 1m II
Monday caused some of our
.citizens to wonder if Niels had
foryotten that school had officially
i closed last week. However Mr.
.Nielsen knew what he was doinyfor the eiyhth yrade is still in ses-
sion preparimr for the state exam-,
inations tJrt last two days of this
week and it was thouyht wisest to
keep the younysters fresh on their
subjects until the examination
comes. Kadoka curtailed its va-
cations to yive the farmer boys
and yirls a chance to help at home
as soon as possible. That is why
this town is a week ahead of the
state schedule.

WKTA SCHOOLS WIN
IN HILLS MEET
The little town of Weta showed
once more its fine school metal
the past week, when after having
won the Jackson county track
meet at Interior a few weeks ago.
this little .school with its seven
enrolled boys, boldly stepped into
the Black Hills high school athletic
arena and made the big fellow-
sit up and take notice.
Weta’s relay team won first place
and. the cup that goes with it. In
the prelicninaiies Clarence Uhlir
won first place in tin* 220 yarddash and third in the finals. Clif-
ford Schillinger outdid any former
record made in tin* Hills in tin
poll vault by three inches. He
plac.d third in the ev nt the record
l.eing broken by eight inches.
The Rapid City Journal of Satur-
day May seventeenth thus eulog-
izes the plucky little aggregation
from Weta:
“V,» a high school with an en-
roMment of only seven hoys, won
Ihe admiration of the crowd when
four of the seven comprized the rc-
!av team tint romped away with
Hist hcnois in that event. Hot
Sprines was second and R.-m:d ("tv
third.”

majors natural tellotfuence, his ex-

speaker together with his unusual
command of descriptive diction,
which he masterfully brings with-
in the grasn of the audience as
occasion demands, make him stand

THREE ORIENT TRAVELERS
RECALL EXPERIENCES
Three merr sat down at the sup-
per table together in a local hotel
and soon started a conversation.
In the course of this Mr. C. A.
Hunt, Kadokn’s now hardware man.
alluded to some of his experiences
while passing through Japan dur-
ing the Spanish American war.
Major Coursey, another one of the
trio supplemented Mr. Hunts ac-
count of the same trip, he too
having massed through Japan with
Son th Dakota volunteer forces
¦ hiring that . nmoaign in the Phili-
i fines. When Mr. Coursey had
finished, Rev. Biyaii .-poke up and
drew a still clearer picture of the
nanor.'vna mentioned as well as
la.j >ans life aol customs. H<* spoke
in one of intimate knowledge in-
d'*ed for he had spent thirtv-two
