The Harvest

About all of small grains in
this vicinity excepting some of
the later sown, is now in shock,
and the threshing machines have
already commenced on shock
threshing. 1t is yet too early to
give definite returns, other than
that the grain is generally of ex-
cellent quality. The indications
r that while the fields are show
ing no extraordinary yield a
good average crop of good quail
ty will be garnered this year, the
only exception to this being in
the case of oats, which in most
cases is proving a light crop.
The conditions of the grain mar
ket all point to good prices and
it looks as if the farmers of
Grant county this year are to be
among the favored people.

America blowing down from tho
Rocky mountains has been called the
chinook. Fohn winds occur also in the
arctic regions. Blowing sometimes in

climatic paradox. As a result of the

Men Who Help Thieves.

The "rechristener" Is the profession,
Il name Of the man who alters the
names and numbers on stolen watches.
The rechristener Is usually a clever
-engraver who through drink or other
wise has lost the chance Of obtaining
honest employment and aids the re-
ceiver Of stolen property. When a
watch has been stolen the number or
name or other indication Of make or
ownership may be forwarded to the
police and by them communicated to
pawnbrokers. There is consequently
an element Of risk In attempting to
dispose of 1t. There are various ways
a getting over the difficulty, and re
christening is one that Is frequently
rosorted to. The engraver adds or pre-,
lxes another figure to the number or
he turns the name u. Robins" into
IT. J. Robinson" the extra initial

and central on the watch case. This Is
done very cleverly. and the rest Of the
letters or figures are touched up to
make all appear to have been cut at
The same time.-London Standard.

Hey, Look Here q

Company D of the National
Guard leaves for FIT. Riley, Kan.
sas, August 30, and will consist
of about fifty daring, desperate
young fighters. You may think
it is going to march down, but it
will do nothing of the kind, as a
car and sleepers have already
been arranged for. IG takes
three days to get there, four
days in camp and three more
coming back, and if you know
how to figure, that's ten days for
the whole trip. All the guards
in five states will be there at the
same time, and the regulars will
be as thick as feas in a hoboe's
pants. The company needs a
few more men to go down. Some
OF those who pretend to know
about it may try to tell you that
you will have to work about q
hours a day and get grub that
nobody but a regular or an os-
trich could live on, but they are
off their trolley. You drill 4
hours a day, get 3 meals a day of
very good grub, and do as you
please the rest of the time. Big
pay, too. It's worth 500 of any
mans money to take this trip,
no matter how poor or stingy he
may be. Howard Fuller has
been promoted to a position on
the staff, SO George Kelsey will
probably have charge of the
company at Riley. Thorrdike
will probably be made second
lieutenant, Anyone wishing to
JOIN can see T%horndike, and be
sure to call early, so you won't
be crowded out. F. E. S.

An Argument For County Option

An Argument For County Option
In order to put the question
fairly before, not only the farm
ers, but the entire people, we
should like to ask the following
question:
Since 25 men living in a sub
division of a county can sign a
petition and call an election and
vote a saloon, though there may
not be more than IS votes in the
entire town, we ask the question,
Is that fair to the region affected.
usually the half or the whole OF
the county, where farmers have
no redress?
Since in South Dakota about
15O, 600 live in the towns and
cities and $4,000 live in the
country, is it fair to disfranchise
all these farmers SO that they
cannot vote any more than a bird
can on the saloon question that
affects the whole county?
Since two-thirds of all the tax
es of the state are paid by the
farmers of the state, and IN some
counties tive-sixths, is it fair for
them to pay for the pre-.
ducts of the saloon and
yet have no right to eject them
from the county? A farmer can
eject q blind pig, but not a saloon.
In Tripp county recently, a
shot and killed a bar
tender and thus the saloon brings
upon that county an expense of
from $4,000 to 10000. Seventy.
two votes in Trip put the saloon
there, many of them non-taxpay-
ers and transients. One of two
things should occur, those q
men who voted for the saloon
should incur the entire expense
Of this murder trial, or on the
other hand the farmers who have
to pay three-fourth of the entire
expense of the case, should
have the right to deter
mine whether q saloon should
exist in Trip.
At the legislature's last ses
sion there was a herd law pass
ed, which gives the entire coun-
ty, farmers and all, the right 20
vote upon the question whether
grain and grass land shall lie
fenced, or whether the fence
shall be put around the
stock. If the majority of all the
people have the right to settle
the question for the protection
of their grain, why have they not
q right whether as farmers or as
townsmen, to protect their peck
ct books against taxation for
the criminal saloon?

Communicated

That people of the community may
know the standing between the Big

tors of the local papers, | think it is
right that | give credit to the local
papers for the excellent work trey
have done for the c~hautauqua, during
the past four years since | have been
in direct management of it than
perhaps anyone else.
l am more than pleased TO say that
everything | have asked of the papers
Las been freely, fully and cheerfully
granted. All three of the Milbank
papers have time and again written
me specially requesting that send to
them material announcing the prog
ress of the program a q report OF
its success. For all of these courtes-
les | wish to now publicly thank the
editors of these papers. The only
compens alton have extended to am
of them is the usual courtesy of pass.
es to the annual assemblies for their
families. Nothing further has ever
been asked of me by any OF these edi-
tors with the exception of one editor
for this season, and in that case /
was not in a position to grant the re-
quest. The Big Stone Headlight has
taken the management to task quite
severely for the unb%usinesslike way
and ungentlemanly treatment it has
offered the editors, and in general
convey ing the idea that they were not
we'll enough paid for the services en-
dered, and in many cases l think this
lie true. And since the accusation has
been made by the Headlight, l have
taken pains to write to q number of
chautauqua managers and others,
asking them how much they paid
their local papers for the writeups
they give the chautauqua and without
exception the replies have been that
they did not pay them anything in
money but extended them the usual
courtesy of IN annual pass. I secured
copies of a number of papers printed
in towns where chautauquas are being
held. l find that they give q writeup
at the close of the chautauqua any
where from one column 10 one page,
all of them verv complimentary to the
program that has been put on. l alec
find that = number of these chautau-
quas had much the same talent that
We had this year or have had In past
years, so the management of the Big
Stone Lake chautauqua has felt this
year that the only paper published in
the town where the chautauona is put
on should have had something at
least \in the way of commend alton of
the program in it's final report. The
chautauQua has never been q money
making proposition. Every officer
and stockholder have paid full prices
for their tickets year after year and
not 0ne member Of the board of direc-
tors has yer entered its gates on q
pass. 1t is q public enterprise and
worthy the support of every right
minded citizen within its border of in
fluence, and when an editor cannot
with the rest of the citizens of q COM
munity, stand back of q commendable
public enterprise. to my mind he has
In . great degree limited his sphere of
usefulness.
Again thanking the local papers for
the excellent work they have done for
the Big Stone Lake chautauqua aud
assuring them OF my sincere apprecia-
tion, / am,
r. J. Hicks,
Secretary.
