COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
NOT a ohE.cRop STATE.

Aberdeen News: An interesting
feature of the changed conditions that
exist in the Dakotas, which will at
tract the attention of Dakota home
Corners next June in no small degree,
Is that the farmers of the two states
are no longer dependent upon wheat
for livelihood. When the territory
of Dakota was split into two states,
twenty years ago, the farmers were
dependent nearly altogether upon the
wheat crop. Ii that failed, they went
broke. Now the farmer, while still
raising wheat, raises corn and bar
ley, too. He raises hogs and cattle
and sheep, and potatoes and other
vegetables for market. The Dakota
farmer yet does not exactly laugh at
a wheat crop failure, but he doesn't
go broke, and his bank balance at tie
end Of the year shows no perceptible
diminution.
United States senators are quite
popular with the women, since they
voted to reduce the tariff on stockings
and gloves from the rate fixed by the
Payne bill. If the schedules finally
remain unchanged after the conference
committees get through with the bill,
the senators can assure the women
they did the best they could 1t is
possible the national Legislature is
behaving the same toward the tariff
on stockings and gloves that the
South Dakota legislature has for sew
eral sessions on women suffrage, one
body making the women happy by
acquiescing in their demands, while
the other disappoints them by turn
Ing down the hoped for legislation.

the high school meet to be held at
Vermillion May 2l-22 under the au-
spices of the state university will be
the largest meet of the kind ever held
in the state. Last year there were
twenty schools represented at the

schools will send athletes to partici-
pate in the events. New high schools
at the meet will be Watertown, Huron

HOME FOR POOR.

A state farm for Migrants is the
purpose Of a bill that has been favor
ably reported in the New York as
sembly, and which is said to be likely
to become a law. Much can beurged
in favor of such All institution, if so
regulated as to segregate the unfor-
tunate and deserving unemployed
from the chronic tramps and hoboes
who take to the road from choice
by reason of their constitutional
aversion to work. The details of the
New York plan are at hand; but if
one OF the model German, Australian
or New Zealand state farms which
are said to have proved satisfactory
in operation, such separation of these
classes will be provided for.

PRICE OF BREAD.

Tie theory and argument OF many
millers, bakers, and high authorities
of agriculture that the cost of bread
is dictated by the wheat price should
be indelibly impressed upon the
memory Of all consumers of bread,
that they may recall these statements
of causes when the reaction comes
and wheat is selling at very much
lower prices. For then they can in
sist that the price of bread shall de-
crease in cost in proportion to the
cheaper wheat
OF course the farmers may be mis-
led into planting very much greater
acreage in whea; because of the mani
pnlated price now prevailing, and by
their effort to grow more they may
depress the price in obedience to the
law of supply and demand, but their
loss IN having to sell their product at
q lower rate will be the gain of the
bread consumer, if the reasoning of
the baker and miller be correct.
At will be very strong confederation
for this reasoning if, when wheat is
more abundant, the price of bread de-
s.clines in an equal ratio, but there is
little on which to base such an expec-
fancy. The variations of the prices
of bread as compared to the huctua-
lions of wheat prices in the past GER
tainly do not afford any sound basis
for the hope that the price of bread
will fall when wheat becomes cheap

Next time, the Kansas boy who was
arrested for smoking on the street will
go out behind the barn and do his puff

in the firsn place had he suspected his
friend, the constable, would treat the
new law as more than joke. 1t will be
a good deal of nuisance to have to seek
seclusion before lighting up, but then
the smoke will taste whole lot better.

eyes were open for everything
Naturally the sign "Governor's Of

decided to call on the governor. He
sent in his card and presently the
doorkeper returned and said: "The
governor will see you"
Then did the visitor really wish
that his curiosity about the governors
office hadn't got the better of him. Il
would be manifestly improper to in
trude on the governors time with
out some motive, and still the young
editor couldn't think Of any motive
On the way to the inner Office he de-
cided to take the governor into his
confidence and confess that there
wasn't any cause for the visit, except
a small matter of editorial courtesy

Cat Aids Auctioneer in Realty Sale

Suddenly there was a lull in the
proceedings. Bids were slow and the
raises" came dribbling along in
small amounts. Auctioneer Warner
couldn't understand it. He began to
think that his success as a forceful
auctioneer was to be short lived.
True, it was his first experience.
but he had started out with such
rush Of business that he was con-
graduating himself. He looked at the
desk where tabby had been.
She had deserted her post. That
seemed to explain the situation. A
hurry call was sent for the cat.
Scarcely had she resumed her place
on the auction desk than the bidding
livened up. Prices went soaring ano
the former enthusiasm was revived
And the cat came back" some ona
remarked
After the sale was over it wau
agreed by all, including Mr.. Warner.
that tabby was responsible for max
ing the days sale successful.
Several raises of from S25 to $40
were admitted by the "emergency
auctioneer" to be due to the presence
of the cat. She will have a prominent
place in the future sales of the board.

said it was an attempted robbery. The

not bear to come back and see the
lad. mancled and leg ironed to the
long chain. Neither did the boy wish
her to come to see him 20. He
dreaded the scene. Their appre-
hension was not necessary.
Then the State decided there were
extenuating circumstances in the case
and in order to look the facts over
again, and with view perhaps to pa
rolling the boy, the sheriff was asked
not to take Albert with the thirty
eight other convicted persons to the
penitentiary.
But what am going to do?" he
asked Jailer Wolf, surveying his gar
ments.
They were just sufficient to prevent
him appearing a la ADAM The taller
laughed good naturedly and told the
story of how Albert had divested
himself in order that the State should
not get any the better of him and
how he would have to attend services
