NORWAY IS IN FIGHT
AGAINST WHITE SLAVERY

} Copenhagen, Denmark.-Norway is
taking Very deep interest in the
crusade against the white slave traf-
fic. King Haakon at the suggestion
of the queen has made a study of the
situation. as it effects Norway. and
at his suggestion the minister of re-
ligion has issued a circular to the
clergy requesting that young girls
preparing for their first communion
should be also instructed respecting
the dangers of taking situations in for
eign countries without previous in
quiry."
Not only this. but at the kings re-
quest the Scandinavian-Amer line
has decided to place upon its vessels
a reliable woman whose duty it will
be to look after all young girls and
women travelling in the ship. This is
a most excellent innovation and one
which can not fail to be productive of
the happiest results. The dangers of
the young immigrant girls are so many
while at sea.

WILL FIX VALUES
State Board of Assessment Will Put
in Week Figuring

Pierre-The state assessment board
meets today and will put in most Of
the week on the assessment Of Corpor-
ate property. Just what will be done
in the way of changing valuations OF
such property Is yet to be developed.
or course there will be a slight in
crease in valuations of telephone Oper-
ating In the state on new companies
which have made returns, but they
are all small companies with a low
valuation, and the increase in that dl-
rection will-nOt be heavy. With the
work of physical valuation of rail
ways of the state not yet completed,
and the further fact that a suit Is
pending in the United States court in
which the question OF railway valua-
tons in the state is one Of the vital
factors, it is not likely that the board
will make any radical changes in such
valuations for the year. There Is no
new mileage to add, and the chances
appear to be that the figures for cor
porate property will nots how any
thing heavy in the way of increases.
Whether or not personal property
valuations will show up any great in
crease depends upon the manner In
which assessors have done their work.
The personal property assessment is a
farce at the best, and not much can
be expected from that source. But
there will be an increase of fully ten
million dollars in lands. This is Sc
cured through the assessment of new
lands and the increases on valua,i ms
of lands in the different cou9tia -,
which was fixed by the county aUdit-
ors at their meeting last March. The
new lands will show an inc ease Of
practically five million dollars, and
the net increases in assessed valua-
tions in lands in the older counties
will show as much more.
The total assessed valuation Of the
state last year was $3.50. 600, coo. For
this year the total is likely to go to
about 1926, zoo. 900, but is hardly likely
to reach three hundred million, re-
gardless of the increase of nearly for.
ty million last year. II the increase
gets up to fifteen million this year 1t
will be doing better than the lndi-
cations at present show for 1t.

LOOKS AT FIELDS
SUPERINTENDENT MoULToN OF
THE NORTHWESTERN RY.
MAKES INSPECTION
SIZES UP CROP PROSPECTS
Views the Situation at all Points Along
Northwestern Lines and Bases
His Estimate on Person.
al Observations

Pierre-Superintendent Moulton, Of
the Chicago & Northwestern road has
Just made a trip over all the lines OF
tina road in the state. and his opin-
ion is that the state will harvest about
seventy-five per cent of an average
wheat crop and barring hail and early
frosts, will harvest fully an average
corn crop. In fact in his estimation
a better n than for last year. While
there are a few spots east OF the
river where the drouth has been Sc
we're, and the crop very short, they
are small in extent, and in many 9TH
er locations the crop is ahead of what
it was last year which will go a long
way toward keeping up the average.
The eastern and southern part OF
the state Is reported to be good. An
area between ~Iroquois and DeSmet
has been hard hit. North of Redfeld
toward the state line the crop will
be short except in a circle about Col
umbia, where it is above the V age.
While the straw is short in that part
of the state the grain heads are we'll
filled and the grain of a good quaity
The wheat yield for last year was
forty million bushels and a seventy
five per cent yield will put it at thirty
million bushels.
In the Missouri valley in this part
of the state the Oat harvest is on, and
some good samples are being brought
in. The country north from Sully
county, across Potter and Walwor1h
is reported to be making the lest
showing it has come through with for
years. West of the Missouri there are
local spots where the crop is a prac-
teal failure, one of these being be-
tween Fort Pierre and Midland. An
other is in the northwest corner Oh the
state, including Harding ana parts
Of Perkins county.
Other spots which received timely
local rains report a better crop than
for last year. The crop estimates for
past years have not taken in much
of the western part Of the state out
side of the Black Hills section, and
whatever is secured in hat section
will be in the shape Of a general rain.
The corn crop generally all over the
state is reported to be in good condi-
ton, and late rains have helped along
the situation greatly, with the indica-
tons now for a good crop generally
unless caught by early frosts. The
corn yield for last year was put at
sc, 600, 900 bushels, and it is expected
to be up to normal this year.

Thrown From Horse

Hot Springs-Mrs. e. B. Penny, wife
of the prominent merchant f. B. Pen
ny of Fullerton, Neb., met with a Sc
rious accident while on a horse back
ride. The horse suddenly stumbled
aud fell forward with such force as to
turn a complete summersault. Mrs,
Penny's foot was caught in the STIR
rup. The horse landed on its hack
and rolled over her twice, the POM
mel Of the saddle boring into her
limb. The bone above the knee was
broken in two nlaces and the ia ic
nerve severed. The woman's sho lder
blade was badly shattered, and her
collarbone broken. Whether she was
injured internally cannot as yet be
determined. Her doctors say tat her
right limb below the knee will be
paralyzed for at least three years. Mr..
and Mrs. Penny were spending the
summer at this resort. They are
prominent people socially in the
southern part of Nebraska and M.
Penny is one Of Nebraska's wealtbiest
merchants and bankers.

Immense Saving Possible.

In a preliminary bulletin on the
cost of maintaining a tuberculosis
sa%natorium, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
bercuiosis announces that the average
cost per patient per day in thirty
semi-charitable sanatoria scattered in
all parts of the United States is
S1.669. These institutions represent
an annual expenditure of over $780,
900 and over $4,000 days of treat
ment given each year. The bulletin,
which is part of an extensive study
the National association is making for
its bureau of information, points out
that the country could save annually
at least $3.50, 900, 900 If the INDECENT
consumptives were properly segre-
gated.

LAND VALUES AND SALES
Selling and Assessment Values in the
Eastern Counties Noted

Pierre-A summary Of land sales for
a few of the eastern counties of South
Dakota indicates that the average as
sessment value PLACED on the lands
does not come to a very large percent
age Of the selling price of lands in
the same counties. The summary
made by T. A. Polleys, OF the Oma-
ha road shows that in the thirteen
counties of CodingtOn, Ga k, SPHINX,
Brookings, Beadle, Hughes, Minneha
ha, McCook, Hanson, Dawson, Union,
Clay and YanktOn, on a total Of 1918
transfers the average selling price
per acre was $3.50, and the average
assessment price in the same counties
is $S.51. The percentage Of ass ass p
ment price to sales price averages in
these counties 22.39 per cent. The
lowest is in Union county where the
average is but 1889 per cent and the
highest in Hughes county where the
average is PHI per cent. The rest
O fthe counties cited show averages
ranging between these two figures, but
Hughes is the only county which
shows a ratio of more than Is per cent
of selling value as its assessment val
ne for lands, most of them running
near 20 per cent. These figures are
based on the land sales for the first
half Of this year and range from fifty
to 175 individual sales in the differ
ent counties.

armers will not get back much more
h their seed, reports from ell parts
Just before the reapers are to go into

rains, which have been general for
the past ten days have done much to-
ward avoiding a terribly short crop.
The corn crop probably will be a lit
tie short, but taken all In all, the
average farmer will find that he has
almost as much cash in his pocket this
fall as he had last year.
Nearly all reports indicate that the
