of New York City, has been secured
to succeed Prof. H. A. Mills, who
has retired from the teaching pro

training as a teacher of art both in
New York City and in the state col
lege for women.
According to the prediction of ed
ucators one of the most outstanding
changes of the colleges in the next
25 year j , will be the increasing em
phasis upon the aesthetic work of
colleges ind universities. ' English,
the material sciences, and the social
sciences and foreign languages have
had their places highly developed.
Nnm ncvrVinlnctist are iolnincr with
educators in urging that the aesthetic
side of the individual should oe de
veloped along with the physical and
the intellectual. , V.
In harmony with this . tendency,
and possibly . assuming a: Pjace of
leadership with regard to it. Cornell

in conection with the ,art work of
that institution this year.

many years this bridal path enthusiast has had the custom of preserving the memories of his horses and dogs
by making clay models of them as they reach the end of their age of usefulness. The models in the picture
are some he has made. ., '
BY FRANK RIDGWAY.-
All his life Clayton B. Shourds
has loved horses jind dogs.! At 77
he climbs his big chestnut sorrel
horse every day, winter or summer,
cold or hot. and spends -a brisk hour
or two on thp bridle paths of Jackson
and Washington parks. Clayton a..
Shourds," astride his prancing monnt
with one or tw6 coach dogs-barking
at his side, has been a familiar fig
ure on the bridle paths and, streets
of Chicago for- SO years.
. After the clQck of time lias tfeked
off more than three-quarters of a
century, filled with activities that
would have stooped the shoulders of
the average man, Mr. Shourds - is
still able to sit up straight in his sad
dle with the ease and vigor of his
early 40s. He attributes his unbent
figure to the lact that ne nas not oeen
without a saddle horse ior inty
years.
Rises Bright and Early.
Horseback riding' has1 kept hird in
tip top condition all of his life; he
says. Spending practically his whole
life in a jewelry store, much of his
time bent over a bench tinkering
with watches and alarm clocks, Mr.
Shourds did not have time togo
hunting, rowing or golfing, to. keep
himself in condnon.
He started as a jeweler in Chicago
in 1866, remaining in that business
until 12 years ago, when he. retired.
Old Chicagoans know him- as the
Shourds of Shourds, Adcock & Ten
fel, who were in business together
for many years.
For half a century the ngnt ar
Clavton B. Shourds' home was
turned on each morning an hour or
two before his neighbors'. The
yelping of his pack of pups, as the
kennel door was opened ana me
rlattpn'nor of his horse's hoofs as he
rode away bright and early served as
an alarm for his neighbors.
He rides day after day because he

Chicago, Aug. 14. William Poole,

She wasn't in, so he waited. While
he waited he looked about a bit. '
He told Judge Joseph Sabath that
he discovered a man's clothes in his"
wife's apartment
"Plenty, said the court. 'You

have to pay no more alimony." -
Omaha Uhi. Law School
The advantage of a law school In a
city are always numerous snd the facili
ties at the disposal of the students of the
University of Omaha Law school are
equal, and In many respect superior, to
many of the institutions in other w-estern
cities. The economic Interests of a city
afford opportunities for an acquaintance
with the management of large industries
which is ot Inestimable value to the
lawyer.
The Omaha bar has the reputatlon-of
being one of the strongest In the United
States, and cases of the greo'test impor
tance are constantly being heard before
th Omaha courts. In no western city
are the conditions more favorable for ac
quiring familiarity with court practice,
federal, state and city, observing the
methods and listening to the arguments
of able and successful practitioners.

B?EM Nt DUMP
Says Health at 77 Years
Due to Daily Horseback Ride
loves his horse and dogs and because
he fully appreciates the value of
such exercise. He expects to ride as
long as he can creep to the side of
his horse and crawl into the saddle.
As he sat the other day in. the
shade at his beautiful home making
a mental survey of his whole neigh
borhood and his old neighbors, Mr.
Shourds said that -most of or his old
friends, many of them about his age,
were gone.
"I would have gone along with the
rest if it had not been for my saddle
horses," he mused, gently fumbling
the soft, tissue-like ears of his old
pet dog, Beeswax. "Riding horse
back is the best exercise I know of,
and it's good for persons of all ages.
But if you expect to fully enjoy it
you must love a horse.
His Favorite Mount.
Teaching his horses tricks is one
of Mr. Shourds hobbies, and they
seem to enjoy it. He does not need
a mounting, block to climb on the
back of- Monte, his favorite mount,
for as soon as Mr. Shourds begins
to gather the reins Monte makes
short steps forward with his front
feet, stretching out as far as he can
reach and lowering his back for his
master to mount. He- stretches out
in the same way for the dismount.
Then Monte will pick up his mas
ter's hat, handkerchief or glove as
they are tossed to the ground,
stretching his long, slender neck as
far as he can reach to place them in
the rider's hand. With the attitude
of a clown he will blink his eyes,
wiggle his ears, and shuffle across
the lot in a hurry when he is told
to mount a pedestal. But Monte al
ways expects a lump of sugar at the
conclusion of each act. Smoking a
Missouri corncob pipe and jumping
through a hoop . are some of the
tricks Beeswax, his glass-eyed dog,
has learned.
While Mr. Shourds becomes at

"I studied statues wherever I saw
them, and decided, to do the work
myself. I knew nothing about the
work, but I read about children mod
eling in clay and decided . n make a
study of it. With a few tools and a
chunk of clay I started out just as
other students at the Art institute,
where I soon learned the rudiments
of clay mocling."

dogs year after year, he makes a
careful study of every line of their

makes a clay model of them..
Mr. Shourds lias a miniature barn
yard in his attic studio filled with
clay models of the horses and dogs
he has outlived. He can call each
horse by name just as he. did many
years ago when he asked Mascot or
Jumbo or. Billy to lower his back
while he swung into the saddle, A
mere glance at the model of the
dogs reminded him of the way

South Dakota
Corn Crop Well
Advanced Aug. 1
Estimate hy United States Ex
pert Puts Average This,
Year Ahead of For
mer Seasons.
First estimates of ; probable crop
yields in South Dakota for this sea
son have just been, made by'H. O.
Herbrandson,. field agent in South
Dakota, of the bureau of crop esti
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture. The report of the
field agent in which the estimates
are set forth is in part as follows:
"All counties of South Dakota in
dicate their Corn crop to be greatly
advanced, as. compared with the
usual condition of. August 1. The
state yield is now estimated at 30
bushels per acre or a total produc
tion of 108.780,000 bushels, which
is still the largest corn crop ever
produced in this state, regardless of
the injury which- has been done.
"Winter wheat is found to have
yielded 14 bushels per acre in
South Dakota, or a total production
of 854,000 bushels.
"The intense heat which the state
experienced; hastened the maturity
of spring wheat and no doubt has
redqeed the annual production con
siderable. Following the first few
days of July, climatic conditions im
proved for spring wheat Addition
al precipitation and lower tempera
tures permitted the berry to fill bet
ter than previous conditions prom
ised, resulting in a much higher
quality of grain.
Little Rust Damage.
"There was scarcely any rust this
season to damage the quality. Be
cause of the drouth the growth of
the plant Jibs been dwarfed and
therefore the yields are comparative
ly small. Especially is this true in
the northern half of the James river
valley territory, which is the most
important wheat growing' region in
South Dakota. The north and east
ern counties have a better crop. '
"It is now estimated that South
Dakota's spring wheat crop will
yield about nine and three-fourths
bushels per acre, or a total produc
tion of 25,390,000 bushels. This , is
about the s,ame production as that
of one year 'ago, but the quality is
much superior.
"The oat crop has suffered from
the same cause as the spring wheat
crop. Oats are more extensively
grown in' the southern portion of
the state. The production, based on
a yield of '24 bushels per acre, .is
placed at 54,864,000 bushels. This is
about . 21,500,000 bushels . less than
the estimated- crop, of one year ago
and closely approximates the 1919
production but is less-than South
Dakota's usual crop of oats. .
Frost Damages Barley.
"Barley has experienced most un
satisfactory conditions for produc
tion this year. The sowing was most
favorable, but shortly after starting
growth, the May frosts damaged the
plants. Following this came the tor
rid heat of June, which matured the
crop prematurely, reducing the pros
pect of yields and shriveling the ker
nel. The result is that there is
practically no barley of good quality
in the entire state. The prospect
now is for a production of 17,833,000
bushels. This is a decrease of ap
proximately 2,000.000 bushels since
the July 1 report and is the smallest
barley production since 1913.
"Potatoes give eveh poorer prom
ise than on July 1. The-prospect
now is for a yield of 52 bushels per
acre. Lack of precipitation . when
needed most, together with intense
heat, were the causes of the damage.
"Flax is giving very poor promise
now, with practically no opportunity
for improvement. Most fields were
planted early and hurt by drouth
and heat
"Rye production has been decreas
ing annually of- late years and the
crop this year is approximately the
same as in 1916, being placed at
4,704.000 bushels.
"Much of the western half of
South Dakota has a poor native crop
of hay. The eastern portion is
somewhat better, especially the
Sioux river valley and the southeast
ern counties. Fortunately, South
Dakota has an unusually large hold
over of hay from last year."
