James II. Shepard, head Of the chem
istry department of the state college.

half OF all the states, he having been
selected for the important work by the
National Pure Food association, which

commissioners and chemists of every

DENIED PART OF ROAD,
TECUNcES AuTOMOBlL!S1

White Lake S. D., July I'm. +.
Griffin, a prominent business man Of
this place, While returning to White
Lake from a spin in his automobile
along the country roads had an inter
esting adventure and incidentally
proved himself something of a pugilist.
AT point on the highway he met am
other automobile, which is supposed to
have hailed from Mitchell. The driver of
the strange auto failed to give half the
roadway to Griffin, who was compelled
to drive almost into the ditch in order
to escape being run down. Griffin was
somewhat angered at the driver of the
other auto because of this and gave
utterance to the opinion that "some
farmer will pull you out of your ma
chine one of these days and give you
trimming if he persisted in taking
up all the road. The driver Of the
strange auto promptly stopped his ma
chine and invited Griftin to "show
him" Griffin as promptly accepted the
challenge and 1t was only few min
utes later that the stranger was shout
ing that he had had enough and for
some one to come and help him let go.
Griffin. row acting the ,sart OF a philan-
thropist, turned the stranger rlgnt side
up and after placing him in his ma
chine advised him to be more care
full In future how he treated those
Aurora county farmers.
