GREEN BUG IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Pest Is Found in Some Fields Near
Huron.

The reported existence in wheat
nelos IN this. Beadle. county of what
IS termed the green bug'' Is confirm.
co. put there is no immediate cause
FOR alarm. ]. H. Windherst of Huron
and +. B. Logan of the Logan Grain
Company of Kansas City drove into
the country adjacent to Huron on a
crop inspection tour. They inspected
twelve fields of growing grain in
quest of the green bug" that has
caused such wholesale destruction to
growing crops in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. The bug
was found in four fields. two each of
wheat and oats, though not in large
numbers. The bugs were widely scat
tered In the fields and had apparently
done no damage, though some of the
helds examined, especially oats, were
Injured by frost. The green bug" has
been found by Mr.. Logan in Sanborn
and 4ankton counties, but. as in
Beadle, in li1lited numbers only He
has made study Of this pest, having
commenced his investigations last
March in Texas, where the first dam
age was done in February.
This bug accomplishes it's work of
destruction very much in the same
manner as the chinch bug. 1t is the
young ones that do the damage. They
are green, with a dark green stripe
down the back, and it is sometimes
necessary to use a magnifying glass to
find them on the plant. They multiply
with amazing rapidity, reaching the
fourth generation in twenty-four
hours. 1t has been discovered that
wherever the bug appears it is ac-
companied By parasitical insect
that kills it in great numbers.
The green bug" made it's appear
ance in Oklahoma in 1901, in which
year 1t did very heavy damage and
was not seen again until this year.
Mr.. Logan states that 40 per cent Of
the Kansas crop has been destroyed.
Crops there, he states, are as back
ward as in South Dakota, at least a
month late.
AS to the crop situation, Mr. Wind
herst takes a very hopeful view. In
his opinion there is no reason to fear
any considerable damage to small
grain this year by the green bug"
While the crop is late, the ground is
In good condition. and will put 1t be-
yond the reach of this insect pest
His opinion, based upon a thorough
knowledge of conditions 10 Beadle
county, is that the harvest of 1907
will be bountiful. AS to corn, Mr..
Windherst is not so sanguine. It is
not only late, but it has not come up
we'll, which will necessitate replanting
In many fields. Worms, he states, are
also doing some damage.

CHARACTER IN HANDcLAsPs.
A Few Notes Taken by the observant
Person.

Those people who clasp their hands
with two fingers between the thumb
and finger instead Of the usual one
are probably very deceitful. To lay
the left hand fiat in the lap and clasp
the right firmly over is a sign of OBJ.
stinacy. Business capacity is shown
if the left fingers are curved inward
To clasp the hands together very
tightly, running the fingers down as
far as they will go, shows, it is said
that the character is sincere, but ii
the left thumb be uppermost and the
right little finger concealed in the
left palm, secretive nature, though
not one necessarily untruthful, Is de
noted.
Thoughtfulness and consideration
for the feelings of others are shown
if when the elbows are placed on 9
desk Or table the thumb and first fin.
gers are clasped tightly. A keen in
teliect and great self-confidence are
possessed by the man who interaces
his fingers and then places mis- hands
pain uoWHWdIu, ndLly Oh HIS Knees
To clasp the hands in the ordinary
way, with the right thumb uppermost
shows that one is born to rule. If the
left thumb comes urpermost, the own

LAW NOT HELD VOID.
Statute Passed by Last Legislature
Not Subject of Ruling or Opinion.

The people of Lyman county some
time ago began the circulation of g
petition to secure an election on the
question of free range. While the
petitions have been pretty we'll cir
culated, it is now advocated that no
election be held con account of an
opinion of the attorney general that
the law is unconstitutional
IAN erroneous opinion has been
circulated in regard to this matter,
and the construction placed upon the
new law by Attorney General Clark,
who has given no official opinion.
The fence law, as it was supposed to
exist west of the river prior to the
last legislative session, was held by
him to be unconstitutional, but his
opinion was given wholly on that
law. Afterward a new law was
passed by the legislature, which was
so framed as to meet any possible
constitutional objections.
This law has not been before the
attorney general for any official ac-
ton, and he has given no opinion
concerning it. He was requested to
act as counsel in a civil suit on be-
half of an association of persons who
desired to test the new law, but he
declined to take a part on the ground
that it might interfere with his Off
cial duties
The 1907 law has not been before
either the state legal department nor
the supreme court for Interpretation,
and has not been officially passed
upon in any way.

CapitoI Fund Grows.

From May 10 to June / the capitol
Building fund was increased $4,000.
Most of this came through the public
sale of lands held throughout the last
half Of May, but several tracts were
disposed of at private sale at the min
imum fixed by the board for these
lands. The capitol commission has
authorized the state land department
to continue the disposal OF these lands
at private sale during the summer
and large amount will no doubt be
disposed of before another auction is
attempted in the fall.

PASTOR SETS NEW PACE.
Starts day at 4:3o a. m. and Is Man O.:
All Work.

The little town of Rec Heights, west
Of Miller, has been shaken and set to
moving more rapidly than ever before
by the arrival of new minister from
Iowa. In fact, to many of the inhab-
itants it was a sensation Of which they
are still talking. His name Is Charles
Starr and ne has a wife and seven
children. He was a polished appear
Ing man, under forty years, fine sing
er, could play on the horn, and a good
talker. There was but one church
society in town and It was decided to
offer the pastorate to the new man,
who had come from the Hawkeye
State to farm quarter section Of land
that he had bought west of the village.
The church people said that a man
with so many points Of successful
preacher would starve to death as
farmer and it would be too bad to al
low his family to suffer. So he was
hired as a pastor Of the church, and
he moved to town instead of on the
land he had bought, reserving the
right to farm the land at odd times.
This was agreed to, as, it was said,
he would not farm any.
Then came the surprise. His first
move was to put in about $50 acres
of crop. AS there were no laborers In
town he began to offer to do any
kind Of manual labor. He built big
founda ton for a new house, did car
pentering and excavating cellars, I'M
til now any one who wants a job done
calls on Rev. Starr
He also gave the villagers a lesson
In carly rising. In addition to his 9th
er work he diaries. He gets out In the
morning at 4:30 and is taking his
cows to the pasture at 80 when the
people are just getting out of bed.
Another odd habit is that he invites
the congregation to choir practice
twice week and to prayer meeting
once a week, in addition to the Sun
day services. Last Sunday he took
twenty-five new members into his
church.

MIGRATION BY MILLIONS
Striking Fact About the Immense Horde
 Crossing the Atlantic

No migration in history is comparable to the great hordes that have crossed the Atlantic during the past twenty years to enter our territory. In 1905, l,026,499 immigrants were admitted; in 1906, l,10O,735 and in the present year the total will exceed the record of 1906 by many thousands. Since June 30 1900, 6,000,000 have been admitted, of whom probably 5,50O,0O0 have settled permanently in the United States.
 The report of Mr. Sargent for the year 1906 recently issued contains much interesting information about the char. aeter and qualifications of the immi grants. Perhaps the most striking fact is that less than per cent of the new corners have reached or passed the age of forty-fve. Of the arrivals in 1906 9l3,955 ranged in age from fourteen tc forty-four, and only 50,507 had reached or passed the age of forty-fve. More than two-thirds of the immigrants were males, the figures being 764, ,463 men and boys and 336,272 women and girls.
 About 2S per cent of the total number were illiterate, which is a very large proportion when we consider that only 6.2 per cent of the total white popula tion of the United States and only 4.f per cent of the native-born whites in 1900 were lliterate.-National Geogra. phic Magazine.

 John J. Sanders of Prescott, Ariz., thinks he has made discovery that will place him at the head of the great est industrial trust ever. conceived by the mind of man, and he will see the attorney general concerning the pro posed charter of his company.
 The papers were forwarded to At torney General Bonaparte by J. c. For est, deputy United States attorney for the district of Arizona.
 The company for which incorporation is asked is to be known as the Explora- tion Company of the Universe and the claim is made that because the company knows exactly what electricity is it will be able to control hot and cold waves and violent storms, cure the diseased destroy the insect pests of the nation planets and stars, explore and eolonize the solar as well as other systems and do several other stunts of an interest. ing character.

Booker T. Washington Summer Home

Booker T. Washington, the great ne gro educator, has engaged summer home at West Neck, Long Island, and will spend about three months there every year. The place is less than three miles from Sagamore Hill, Presi- dent Roosevelt's summer home. It con sists of about 100 acres of fine land, with an old-fashioned mansion, which was built by the Van Wyck family many years ago. The Van Wycks were North Carolinans, and slave owners. Booker Washington was once slave himself. He and the president still are great friends, and it is presumed that they will see much of each other during the vacation season. It is noteworthy, however, that Professor Washington has not been conspicuously in evidence in this city since the famous luncheon CT dinner at the White House, at which he was guest few months after MT. Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency. It can be stated as fact of first hand knowledge that both the president and Washington have regretted this incl dent ever since its occurrence. The Ala bama negro freely tells his intimate friends that he realized after criticism of the president broke out nearly all over the whole country that from his Washington 's) own standpoint it was a mistake for him to have dined at the White House, and there is cause to be- lieve that should the president again in vite him to sit at the presidential board he would decline. When Professor Washington visits this city, by the way, he is forced either to accept the hos pitality of friends or to patronize a cheap and dingy little hotel close to the capitol. It is not known, however, that he has ever been refused accommoda- tions at any of the big hotels of Wash ington.- Washington Herald.
