the Destructive Cut Worm.
Geddes. s. D.. Dec. 11.-Farmers int
this part of the state have been some
what alarmed by the discovery OF AMI
odd freak Of nature. in the form of
a tough f1bery weed which has grown
quite extensively during the past sea-
son n the stubble fields. On the stems
OF the weed are numerous small ber-
'ries that will average about the slSal
OF an ordinary gooseberry.
The alarming feature is that every
one OF these pods contains SMALL;
Light colored worm. Harry Lang, a
Farmer, who was among the irst to-,
discover what the berries contained.
states that an old settler informed
him that these small worms are cut
worms. and that unless destroyed they
would appear in the ground next year
and do great damage owing to beihE,
so numerous this fall Is
Lang states further that the Worma
are now about twice or three times a.
large as thew were four or five weeks
ago. II it Is determined beyond 3
doubt that the worms are cut-worsns.
as Is feared, 1t will be necessary for,
the farmers over wide area to burn
on their stubble fields and thus de-
stroy the worms and prevent great in.s
fury being done their crops next year.

ABERDEEN is LUCKY.
Report of the Advent of Milwaukee
Railroad Shops There.

Aberdeen, S. d., Dec. 1.2--Great interest
has been aroused in this city by the re-
port that the Milwaukee will remove it's
shops from Minneapolis to Aberdeen.
Prominent Representatives of the company
have been in the city interviewing Super
intendent G. G. Mason and the city au-
thorities and it is stated that the shops
will be removed here if satisfactory ar
rangements can be made with the city.
The company has for some weeks been
trying to buy a tract of land adjoining
the city limits of Aberdeen and belonging
to the city. and it is believed the shops
will be built on this tract if they are
brought to this city. About 5000 men are
said to be employed in the shops. Rail
road men refuse to make any definite
statement regarding the matter the most
definite being that made by an Aberdeen
railroad man who expressed the belief
that If the company did make any change
only q portion of the shops would be
brought to Aberdeen.

Work Of Completing Irrigation

Belle Fourche, S. D.. Dec. 13.-It Is
how certain that the contractors who

the interior has set aside 81, 100000, will
not be able to complete the work with

Inc contractors have been necessarily
delayed by excessive rains during the
summer and fall and by the cold wealth
er which has been experienced at In
terVals thus far this winter. This has
resulted in the stopping of work on a
considerable portion of the inlet canal.
work was discontinued during the cold
est days, with the intention of resuna-
ing again when conditions were more
favorable, but when the weather had
temporarily moderated and efforts were
made to resume work it was found
THAT the earth had been frozen to such
a depth that it was almost Impossible
to proceed.
As result, most of the teams and
lapoIers on the main portion of the
canal have been, laid off, and indica-
'tlons are that SO far as work on the
main portion of the canal is concerned
1T will not be resumed again in full
force until the frost is out of the
ground next spring.

months of good weather in the spring

How to Earn Sound Sleep,

All doctors are not so careful OF
the welfare of their patients as they
| might be. Here is story of one who
went to the limit. He is the proprie.
tor of famous health resort not far
from ---. When he receives a pa
tient for treatment he says:
Now, want it understood that I'M
less you do exactly as say, there is
no use OF your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.
He acts on the theory that he can bet
ter afford to offend single patient
and lose him that to have that pa.
tient go back home and tell his friends
Dr.. So-and-So had done him no good,
relates the Washington Star.
Not long ago well-known clergy
man went to this resort for treatment.
The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said: p.
while you are here you must take
long walks every day."
But I can't take walks" replied
the parson. 81 haven't done any walk
ing for years. My heart won't stand
It
They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends, the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
ITS a nice day. would like you
to go horseback riding with me"
Riding they went When they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said ooh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? l don't like to leave this
hcrse."
AS soon as the clergyman was on
the ground the doctor galloped off
with both horses, and the clergyman
was compelled to walk back to the
sanitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry, and was for packing up
and leaving at once. There was no
train that night, so he was forced to
stay few hours longer. The next
morning he came down radiant and
good natured.
Doctor said he, ~ was pretty
sore at you last night but | forgive
everything. have had the first good
sleep have enjoyed in months. Here
after I'll obey your order implicitly"

An Extra Good Appetite.

A good appetite is a symptom of
good health. An extra good appetite
is sometimes a symptom of constitu-
tional disturbance somewhere. A sam
pie letter sent to the Questions and
Answers" column of prominent
health journal was something like
this:
Il am troubled with pimples, not to
a great extent, but still very annoying.
They appear principally on the fore
head, but occasionally on other places.
often feel languid, and tire easily
and cannot gain flesh, although l have
an extra good appetite. Still l AM
not sick, and have not been i'll bed for
a day in my life. Age, nineteen years.
Will you kindly advise me what you
think would remove these pimples?"
There is little doubt but that the
extra good appetite" alluded to ar
fords the key to the situation. The d.
gestive organs have more than the-
can take care Of, and consequently do
not properly take care of anything fur
nishcd. There will be frequeat head
aches, skin disorders and alternate con-
stipation and diarrhea with such per.
sons. Pimples are natural result Of
such depraved blood conditions.
With many people the habit OF
hearty eating is continued when the
warm spring days come. Food which
was appropriate when the thermomet-
er was at zero is continued in the
same quality and quantity when the
thermometer rises to ninety degrees
in the sun, and averages above sixty

No Chance for a Girl.

The accepted masculine attitude
was well expressed by the small boy
who overheard the conversation of a
caller. He was one of four brothers,
and the visitor remarked, What a

Dropping his game and thrusting
hands in pockets he exclaimed: "Well,
