Easter Customs.

In Russia it is considered no crime

week, even the policemen being often
under the mellowing influence OF
vodka.
Egg racing is a favorite amusement
OF Russian. German and French chill

the prize going to the child whose egg
rolls the greatest number OF races
without damage to its shell. In Ger
many tracks are made Of twigs, down
which each egg may roll without inter-
ference from any other one, and the
boy whose egg arrives unbroken at the

SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS PROGRESSIVE

SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS PROGRESSIVE
If the farmers of South Dakota contin-
ne to buy pure-bred stock as they have
done during the last f.w years, it will
not be long before that safe will be
known as one OF the frs livestock states
in the Union. BY the average person
lot residing in that state, South Dakota is
still thought of as the pioneer state where
farming is conducted in primitive way.
The average person thinks that farmers
in South Dakota are mot yet IN position
to do much in the way of1mproving
their live stock, or of beautifying their
homes, but this is great missske. j
South Dakota is populated with pro-
gressive farmers-farmers who know the
value of good stock and who apparently
realize that nothing but the best will
give them the most profitable returns.
South Dakota breeders who have recent.
ly held public sales have themselves been
greatly surprised at the way the farmers
take hold OF their stock, and in their will
lingness to pay the price necessary to get
what they want. Breeders from other
states who have held public sales in
South Dakota have been equally surpris-
ed Men who doubted the advisability
OF holding public sales in so new y state

as South Dakota have been overwhelmed
at the enthusiasm manifested by its
farmers in pnre-b bred stock. Nor is that
all; these supposed South Dakota pio-
neers pay cash for what they buy. They
are not asking the seller TO take notes;
they don't need 10. they have money in
the bank.
This is not idle talk; what we sas is
based on facts. A South Dakota breeder
of Angus Cattle %. W. Reedy of Beres-
forD held a public sale few days
ago on his farm and sold 81 head for
$lS.025, or an average OF $2us per head.
The bulls brought 1925, and The fe-
males $l75 per head Ninety-fve PER
cent Or more of the cat lie sold Went 10
South Dakota men, and those South Da-
kotans, as they have done at other sales,
paid cash for 80 per cent Of what they
bought. A breeder of horses in north
western Iowa short time ago decided to
hold public sale of pure-bred Perchcr
rons at Mitchell. though he was some
what doubtful as To the outcome. He
feared, as Others have done, that the
farmers of South Dakota would not be
willing to pay the price thpt pure bred
horses are now bringing, but be was
mistaken. He sold 3S head and all bat
three went to South Dakota farmers at
their own price an average of S463.
For ID stations they paid an average Of
$452, and for % mares an average Of 941I:
here again when settlement was made. 30
per cent was cash and 10 per cent not s:
negotiable anywhere in the West.
Another evidence of th~ progressive
attitude of South Dakota farmers toward
pure bred stock was manifesto at one OF
the largest public sales Of pure bred
horses that was held at Sioux Ciy dur
ing the latter part of Fe br uary, when l2l
head sold for an average of $5!3. A very
large number OF these horses Went To
South Dakota. Others went to north
eastern Nebraska, to mort hern Iowa, To
southern Minnesota and to North OAK o.
ia. A Hereford sale held at Sioux City
in February brought the owner of the
cattle an average of $l2G GO for 80 head
Many of the finest cattle in this sale went
TO South Dakota and again for ca n.
South Dakota farmers are to be con
graduated upon the confidence they
have IN their state and upon the conf
dence they have in the future of good
stock. They are surely on tIlr right
track AN they need to do is To keep mp the
pace they have already set aud in a few
years South Dakota will be up to, if not
ahead of, any state in THEFT mon in the
number of and quality of the pure bred
stock within its borders. Farmers Trb-

PORTLAND TELEGRAPHERS
GET INCREASED PAY

Western Union operators and SUBJ
chiefs in Portland are jubilant today
because of a report which has been
circulated to the effect that their SAL
aries are to be increased Is per cent
bringing them back to the scale
which prevailed before the recent
telegraphers' strike, says the Journal.
R. T. Reid, superintendent of the
northeastern division, passed through
Portland Saturday night on his way
to San Francisco, where a conference
of the division chiefs will be held
with General Superintendent Frank
Jaynes relative to the salary increase.
Should the reported advance be-
come effective the high rate of pay
for first class operators will again be
SIS per month, as before the strike.
Other classes of telegraphers will
have their salaries increased accord
ingly.
More than 100 operators on the Pa
