PROSPECTS FOR YIELD

Sioux Falls, S. D.: Farmers fear
that harvest hands will be scarce
this year owing to the rush to the
lands of the Rosebud reservation. and
that eXorbitant prices will have to be
paid such help as can be secured.
Should an emergency arise the wives
and daughters of many South Dakota
farmers will again come to the rescue
by volunteering to operate the header
boxes and moving machines.
1t is safe to say that nothing but
some unforeseen calamity such as Sc
we're wind storm of wide extent, can
now prevent South Dakota from rails
ing another bumper crop.
Barley and rye has been rapidly rip
ened by the extremely hot weather of
the past few days, and the harvesting
of these grains is now in progress in
the southern part of the state. and

the northern portion also.

some localities may be short due to II
lack of moisture at the critical period
OF the growing season, but in the state

of the largest yields in the history Of

csoo Without Exclamation,

Memphis. Tenn, July Y.-Without any
announcement of his intentions, Chief OF
Police Mason suddenly left Memphis Sat
urday night for Chicago. No reason was
given for his departure beyond the bare
J .tatement of his physicians that he was
not feeling we'll and took the trip that he
might get rest.
\ The sudden departure of the chief has
created q sensation here, as most of the
city departments are undergoing investi-
cation. Only last week a public indigna-
zion meeting with Senator Carmack at
abe head denounced public corruption.
Vice Mayor Henderson asserted today
that he intended to have Mason removed,
provided he could gain the vote of another
member of the commissioners. The board
is composed of three members. the others
being Mayer Williams and Commissioner
Walsh. The latter is an avowed anti-Ma-
son man, but insists that Mason should
not be removed until it is decided to re-
organize the whole police department

Suffering Will Not Help Your Disease, but Will Weaken Your
 Nerves.

Folks who think it is better to bear pain than soothe it-are wrong.
 Old-fashioned doctors used to say 1t was better, because they had nothing with which to ease pain but dangerous, heart -paralyzing drugs.
 But now, that a safe remedy has been found, Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, 1t is wrong to suffer. for nothing can be gained but weakened nerves.
 A safe rule to remember is: When in pain, take an Anti-Pain Pill.
 This will soothe your quivering nerves.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain by restoring the natural secretions, in which they differ from opium and sim liar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain by checking the action of the glands.
 They are sure and harmless, and are the latest medical treatment for the cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache, Rheumatism, Dizziness, Toothache, Stomachache, Menstrual (Monthly) Pains. Also nerve irritations like Sea- Sickness, Car Sickness, Sleeplessness, Indigestion, etc.
