official is an honest, level-headed Demo-

Better than for Five Years.

A special to the Sioux Falls Press
OF the 10th says: Assistant Superin.
tenoent John s. Burke of the Dakota
Central division of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway, reports that
freight business on his division has
not been as brisk in five years at this
season as at the present time. In
addition to the general freight traffic,
the daily receipts of wheat at stations
in South Dakota, on the Dakota
Central division, are from $4,000 to
10000 bushels, and in a number of
instances during the past week the
receipts have reached $4,000 bushels.
Elevators and warehouses are also
full OF grain, and a vast amount is
still held by farmers and will not bs
marketed until after the present
seasons crop is in the ground. Mr..
Burke says many new settlers are
coming in and going upon farms as
near to railway stations rs it is
possible for them to get. They bring
with them household goods, farm
machinery. stock. etc., and are a
thrifty looking lot OF people,"

The Pearl Fad.

Another fad in jewels is the wearing
OF Wisconsin pearls in rings. These
pearls are from Sugar River, Wiscon-
sin, but they rivel the Oriental pearls
in many ways. We should feel proud
OF this native product that has
become so .fashinable, and they are
worthy OF admiration. They are of
all rare colors, pink, black, andbronze
-tints not possessed by the Oriental
pearls, and altogether they form a
most beautiful setting. They are set
together in pairs and threes, some
times five small ones in a row, and,
again, they are encircled with small
diamonds, which act admirably to set
OH the natural tints of the pearl.
These rings may be purchased In all
styles at prices ranging from fifty dol.
lars for the single pearls to ten times
as much for the more elaborate st les.

BrOOkings County All Right.

P. G. Murphy, of Brookings, was
seen at the Sherman house last eve
ming by News reporter and during
short conversation Mr.. Murphy said:
1--WE are now enjoying in Brookings
county what we have waited ten
years for, genuine real estate boom.
Values in farm lands have doubled in
the last six months. Our poorest
lands are now worth $40 per acre.
Over sixty quarter sections have been
sold in the county within the last
thirty days. One person has sold
eight quarters for $4,000 apiece or
81 6, 900 In all. He said most OF the
immigration was coming from north.
western Iowa. Farms are selling out
there for $50 to $35 per acre and
buying better land in Dakota for from
$40 to $12 per acre. The above facts
are very encouraging ones to the far
mers OF South DAKOTA, The News
believes that ali the indications point
to q renewal OF good crops, better
values in farm produce and a con-
stantly increased value in farm lands.
The true friend of the farmer is he
who encourages him to make the best
of his holdings and in time, and a
very short time at that, he will find
himself prosperous and wealthy
farmer, made so by the increased
value of the soil from which he has
cleaned his annual income.-Aberdeen

The recommendations and sug-
gestions OF the county seat postmas-
ters who recently submitted their re-
ports 20 the Postmaster General,
after visiting the Offices in their
counties. are now being considered in
all their details by the different bu-
reaus ofthe department. The reports
from the county-seat postmasters
generally had letters accompanying
them and emphasizing the most I'M
portant suggestions. These letters
were referred to the different bureaus.
OF the 1920 postmasters who made
the visits, fully two-thirds made sug-
gestlons. These included recommenda-
tions about the dlscontinuance and
establishment of Offices, the curtail.
ment or increase of star-route service,
and changes in few cases where post.
masters seemed undesirable. In such
matters as the posting of the anti
lottery law and the supplying of in
struction in the keeping of accounts,
ETC., the recommendations were OF
course carried into effect personally,
but in the larger changes in the service
reference to the proper bureau of the
department was necessarily had.
This work is now going on, and
every one of the hundreds of sugges-
tions made is followed up until it is
carried out or it is found impossible
to carry it out,

addition. valued at $50, 900, was made by
Judge Smith Yesterday. The decision
was not written. but made orally from
notes the court bad made during the
trial.
The court decided for the defendants,
saying that Byrnes had not been guilty
of forgery. But Judge Smith took Oc-
casion to commenton Timothy's actions
in connection with the deal which
brought OH the case in way very I'M
satisfactory to him but greatly relish
able to the plaintiff and her followers.
He stated that the testimony in the
case confirmed his opinion that Byrnes
had victimized Mrs. Goodrich; that he
had been guilty of gross fraud. one
which was as bad as any he had ever OBJ
served. Byrnes' explanation OF the
circumstances attending the signing OF
the satlsfactions questioned by Mrs.
Goodrich was wholly untrue. Mrs.
Goodrich had been grossly yictimized,
as the court believed. ByrDes led her to
believe that she was signing some
thing beside SatiSfactiOnS when she
put her name to them at Chicago.
Yet, the court stated, the evidence did
not Justify the conclusion that the salts
factions had been changed after they
were GxGCulCQ w MI NOOulICH W thS
extent of constituting the crime of for
gerry under the law. The admitted in
sertion of the description of the prop
erty was an immaterial interdelineation
as far as establishing forgery was con-
cerEed.
In regard to whether Byrnes changed
and inserted the pages of the records,
after the execution was made. the court
stated that the evidence given by Mrs.
Goodrich was insufficient to establish
the conclusions that the changes had
been made
In concluding his findings, the court
stated that he would find judgment for
Corser and the investment company
against the plaintiff. and judgment for
the plaintiff against Byrnes for $4,000
ByrneS admits the existence OF these
notes.
Judge Shaw. who appeared for Mrs.
Goodrich, notified the court that lie
wished to argue the point as to whether
the rights Of E. s. Corser and the in
vestment company were offset under
their mortgages and foreclosures by
Timothy's declared fraud. The argu-
ment will be made next Saturday
Judge Smiths decision will DO filed
after this argument is made.
