ARMOUR BANKERS
IN LIBEL SUIT
Action Brought by Representa-
tive Foster Will Be Tried
This Week.
PROMINENT
Charges Of Fraud in Conducting
Banking Business Were Made
Against the Plaintiff in Heat
of Recent Campaign.

Armour, S. D.. June 9.-Circuit cour'
will convene here on the 9th. h o'sy
case of Importance is the libel sur OF
X. G.. Foster against Johnson Bros.
OF this city. An effort is being made
by Mr.. Fosters attorneys to have the
case go over, 3ut the Johnsorfs are in
sisting that il come to trial and VIII
p~cbably have their way.
IN their nswer to the complaint they
contend that Mr.. Foster was a candi-
date for Office at the time the article
was published in the Armou Herald,
which caused the suit, and that ac-
cording to the rulings of the supreme
court of this state they had a right TO
inform the voters of the county as to
the character of the maj who was ask
ing for their suffrages. To this MIR. Fos-
ter's attorneys dernurred and Judge
Smith held that their answer was ac-
cording to the statutes and the fact
that MIR. Foster was a candidate for Of
flee could enter into the case.
In the campaign last fal. T.. S. john
SON., national democratic committeeman
from this state. and his brother. eX-
State Senator IL. w. johnson, caused
To be published a letter giving what
they believed Il true history of the bus
mess transactions of *. G. Foster, who
was Il candidate for the Legislature. To
this Foster took exceptions and brought
suit against the Johnsons for $25 600.
1t seems that Mr.. Foster was a di-
rector in a bank which failed here
years ago. and the day before it failed
he purchased Il draft for $500 at the
Johnson bank and left for Chicago. The
Johnsons produced a copy of this draft
and commented upon II extensively.
1t was the only business ever trans
acted by Foster wit. johnson Bros,
and for that reaso the. contended that
he knew the bank was insolvent.
Mr.. Foster was defeated by n vote,
but later contested for the seat of his
democratic opponent and was given the
place by the legislature. The county,
however, gave Roosevelt a majority OF
1913 votes.

Country Life in America: Farms in
the Bermudas + only tiny detached
fields in the pleasant hollows where the
accumulation Of vegetable matter and
Of washings has made a shallow Soil
In these little Islands one sees fields
from the size of a parlor fioor to ,hat
of two acres-the latter size being IN
common. 1t is strange enough to the
visitor from more ambitious lands To
see a patch of onions or lilies or no,a.
toes only a few feet square brayelv as
sorting Its Importance in some front
yard or by the highway. But although
these fields are diminutive. they are
numerous. and the combined outnut
makes up a large trade in Bermudan
products in the New York markets. for
probably nine-tenths of the produce
except bananas. finds a market there in
spite of the duties. The lands vary
wonderfully In price-from very little
for the exposed elevations to $500 ner
acre for good pieces in the little wales
The high price of these pieces and linn
tied amount of land on he islands
there are less han 10000 acres all told
has enforced a very high state of Gull
tivation of the lands. The islands
comprise a series of smart g%arden-hol-
lows. and the hard-metaled. white
walled roads, white SNUG houses and
profusion of compact garden growth
all unite to make the place a dimin-
utiye p%ictureland.

DIFFICULT TO GET WELL.
Lansford Drillers Strike an Unusually
Hard Substance,

Langford, S. D., June 1O.-Another eff
fort to secure an artesian we'll at this
place has practically resulted in a fail
ure, and there is every indication that
Langford will continue to be a dry
town so far as securing a good artesian
flow is concerned. After reaching a
depth of $50 feet the contractor, who Is
at work on an artesian we'll which was
designed to furnish the town with wa
ter for domestic and fire protection
purposes. had the bad luck to strike a
rock. which after a week of steady
drilling refused to give way to the drill.
Then it was decided to explode a guam
titv of dynamite at the bottom of the
hole in the hope OF removing the OBJ
struction. This was done. and now it is
difficult to make progress In the work
OF drilling on account of the shattered
pieces of o catching on the drill. On
July l Langford will be a dry town in
more ways than one, for on tina ate
the only saloon now doing business in
own will close its doors. Thus the old
saying that misfortunes never come
singly is again illustrated. Without a
saloon and without artesian water to
drink many Of h residents will Indeed
be in a bad way.

Testfying before the Senate COM
mittee at Washington. Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give to
that commisston the power to regulate
railway rates:
II think tho railways shoud mako
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own bnsi-
ness. have never advocated any law.
and l am not now in favor Of any law,
which would put The rate making pow
er into the hands Of any commission or
any court. While It may be necessary
to do that some time. while that Is
done in some States at the present
time, while 1t Is done in some coun-
tries. l am opposed to it. . The
railway rate Is property. 1t Is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest Of It's property is not good for any
thing unless 1t can charge a rate. Now
1t has always seemed to me that when
a rate was fixed, IL that rate was an
unreasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company OF its property pro
tanto. IL - not necessary that you
should confiscate the property Of q
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that 1t shall not earn three
per cent OF four per cent. When you
put In a rate that is inherently unrea-
sonable. you have deprived that COM
pany of dts rights, OF its property. and
the Circuit Court OF the Unted States
has Jurisdiction under the fourteenth
amendment to restrain that. .
I have looked at these cases a great
many times, and l can enly come to
the conclusion that a railroad company
Is ent1tled to charge a fair and reason
able rate, and II any order Of a COM
mission, IL any statute Of q State Legis-
lature takes away that rate, the four
tenth amendment protects the railway
company" Adv.

NURSE CROPS WITH CLOVER.

Those who have grown clover success
fully know that the crop requires consld-
cradle moisture and the lack OF the mons
,ure in the soil is usually at the bottom oil
the summer killing of clover. II is an al
most universal custom TO so" what Is
known as d nurse crop with cover
whether the practice is right or wrong oe-
ponds upon conditions. and these conni-
tions are the quantity Of humus IN the
soil. which enables it to conserve the
moisture. and the amount of moisture
taken from the soil by the nurse crop.
Just as the foolish orchardist expects a
crop OF apples and a crop OF nay or gram
from Tie same soil, so the average farm
er expects a crop of rye or oats and a
crop of clover from the same soil. Ihe
nurse crop thus becomes the robper crop.
for i; takes from the soil the moisture
needed to make the proper growth OF
clover. If one wants a crop OF rye or
oats then one should leave the clover out,
but if the clover is wanted then the seed
ing of the nurse crop should be very light
only enough TO furnish the necessary
protection to tho clover. a bushel or ever
less an acre of rye or oats is sufilclen'
for seeding with the clover: then II we
occasionally p!ow under a good crop OF
clover We are adding hunlus 10 the SOIL
which will enable it TO do much for ~
