ST Louis, Jan. 13.-Leutenant Bloke-

station here, saws that over 50 per cent
of the men who oeered to enlist had
been rejected because of fiat feet.
He says that more cases of fiat feet
are found in the cities than in the coun-
try. This fact is attributed to the fact
that dwellers IN cities walk more than
do those in the country and on hard
and unyielding sidewalks which causes
a giving way of the bones of the instep
to a certain extent and renders the men
untitled for marching either in the army
or the navy

The great majority Of people
South DakotanS as we'll as 9th:
ers, have a wrong impression Of
crop productions. Their ideas
are obtained from an occasionl
abnormal crop result here and
there. For instance you ask a
man what is a good fair yield
oseorn and he viii probably tel
you SO to 60 bushels per acre
if you 60 no further in your in,
quiry you base your future opin-
ion Of corn yields npon this
statement. But suppose you
turn to the official report for the
United States, and learn that the
average crop otcorn for 1903 is
23.S blu. per acre, and in 1892
it was 26.8 bushels per acre.
Now is it not more accurate to
understand that an average
yield of corn is about IS bushels?
With this point established is it
not evident that many wrong
impressions prevail about yields.
And is it not evident that South
Dakota products are about as
large as in any other states?
Then look at the government
ten year averages Of the great
corn states. The highest is Hi
nois at 80 3. The report for this
year gives South Dakota nearly
30 bushels per acre. which is
above the average for the whole
country this year Of 25.8, also
above the len year average Of
27.1 for these FIVE great corn
states.

There is still one school in the

Miss Estella Berry will teach
the new school in Ceder. The
school will be held in a part OF

Mrs. Ellen Keller of Wheaton

had not taught for over twenty
years she succeeded in earning
a very good second grade certhi
cate. She will probably teach
the home school.
1t is hoped that the school
boards of the county at their
regular meetings next Tuesday
will provide among other things
book cases for the library books.
The law states that suitable
cases shall be provided for the
books in each school. In many
districts the books are not we'll

to keep them As the number of
books will beincreased from year

consumers in the east and south nave

they say. by their agreements to re-

stock yards, beaten prices down al
most to the breaking point, and at the
same time have raised the prices on
dressed meats to eastern consumers
until they are far above what they
were one year ago, when the meat
trust is supposed to have been formed.

The packing trust is paying today

dressed pork than one year ago. max

These figures are from the actual
market prices of Monday, the selling
prices being based on Omaha prices,
altho the manager of one of the pack

months by the manipulation of the
markets by the packers, and that hun
dreds OF cattlelnen are on the verge
of ruin. There being practically only
one bidder for livestock, the trust sets
the price and stockmen must sell at
that price or see their stock depreci-
