N CATTLE SCARCE
Minnehaha County Farmer Suggeste
Grazing on Shares

Sioux Falls-P. M. Thompson of
Baltic was in the city yesterday en-
route to his home from a visit with
his son at Hot Springs, S. D., where
the young man is in business.
while I was in the Hills" said Mr..
Thompson, 81 met and talked about
the cattle situation, out there, with
Thomas Ward of Dalzell, S. D., who
vas formerly employed as foreman on
the G. K. Howard ranch, which prop
erty Mr.. Howard has recently sold.
Ward told me that there ale not
five hundred cattle left in the cattle
country, west of the river, the cattle
men have been taking advantage or
the high prices in the cattle market TO
sell off their stock.
Ward also says that there Is cause
for congratulation in the scarcity of
cattle in that section of the state this
fall, for the reason that there is very
little food on the ranges, the dry
weather of the early summer having
dried up much of the grass. 1t is a
good combinat on for the cattle man,
little food and high prices.
Mr.. Ward also says that If the men
in the east part Of the state can ar
range with the owners of some of
that range land, to take cattle on the
share of the increase in weight plan,
and turn them loose on the ranges,
about the first of May next year, there
will be.a great deal of money made
in the arrangement.
Cattle would Craze for nothing, the
only expense being half the meat put
on each critter during the grazing
season. For instance if ] send a steer
out there weighing 1000 pounds on
the first of May and after two months
on the grass he weighs 1900 pounds.
/ get the value of 1850 pounds of beef
and the man who owns the land upon
which he grazed, gets the value OF
$50 pounds, when the steer is sold.
1T seems to me that the time for
we people who I've in the eastern
part of the state to get into touch
with those men who own the grazing
land west of the river, is now and
that the farmers whose market will
be made better by the opening of the
new packing house in Sioux Falls,
would want to take hold of the idea
of putting cattle on the range west
of the river at once. | shall take adj
vantage of the opportunity to get cat
tie fattened cheaply, if / am in posi-
ton to do So"

The o. s. Jones Seed Co., has a
fine display of seed corr and grains,
which gets the attention of the visi-
tors and they are furnished literature
about the company's business.
The botanical department Of the
South Dakota State COLLEGE of Brook
ings, is represented by J. l.. Sarvis,
who brings to the people much in
formation with reference to plant
life, and showing the things that act
as destroyers of things grown on the
farm. Mr.. Sarvis has As samples of
various grasses that grow in all pat IS
of the state, and he also has sam
pies of some of the weeds which infest
the state in many parts, showing the
extent G fthe root and how hard 1t is
to get rid of the weeds.
Dawes e. Thompson have a beauti-
full display of corn, grown in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Fulton, known as
the popular yellow dent. The firm
has had fine success with this grade
Of corn, and the samples that are
shown indicate to what extent 1t is
produced.
e. p. Sand, a farmer living a few
miles south of Mitchell, has a sam
pie of everything grown on his farm,
except the livestock. 1t is quite a
large and interesting display to be
made by one individual, but 1t is well
worth inspection. In spite of the
late frost and freeze last spring Mr..
Sand grew apples on his trees, and
many other fruits. His corn samples
are the result of his own breeding,
and shows what can be done when
attention Is paid to good seed.

Socialist Democrat Filings

Pierre-The Office of the secretary
of state has been notified that before
the expiration Of the time for such
filings, there will be Independent
nominations for the different state
positions made by a number of candis
dates for the places, each under the
name of socialist-democrat. The So
cialists, while selecting a ticket before
the June primaries, did not file 1t in
time to get their list on the ballot as
a ticket and while they are now com
ing in as Independents. for each place
on the ticket, they cannot get upon
the ballot under a party head, but
each must stand alone, regardless of
the fact of platform title similarity.

QUESTION FOR U
viii Decide Whether Primary Nomi-
nee is Eligible

Pierre-One of the more impo tant
cases before the supreme court Is the
hearing of the state in relation to L.
C. o~chsenritter VS.. G. K. Blegen, audi
tot of Day county. The case deals
with the candidacy OF l.. A. Hetley for
county superintendent of Day county,
who was nominated by the republican
party at the June primaries. Hetley
has formerly been superintendent,
but a short time ago his necessary
first grade certificate expired, leaving
him destitute of qualifications to hold
the Office. During the primary cam
paign, the opposition to Hetley failed
to file a statement to the effect thar
Hetley was disqualified to run for the
Office in accordance with paragraph 2,
chapter 80, laws of 1909, which says:
THAT If any person shall hle state
ment on oath, with the county audi
tor fifteen days prior to the holding
of any primary election or any other
election, that any person whose name
has been certified to the county aud
tor as a candidate for county super
intendent upon any ticket is not quail
fled under the provisions or tnls ace
to hold the office Of county superin-
tendent, said candidate shall within
five days after being notified OF said
statement being filed, file with the,
county auditor full proof shat he is
qualified to hold said Office, and If he
fails to do So, the name of said per-
son shall not be placed upon the Of
fetal ballot as a candidate by the
county auditor.
The question comes up whether or
not after having run the gauntlet OF
the June election, a man can be dis
qualified for the finals, by fling proof
OF disqualification against him. Hay-
ing been nominated, eve though con
trary to statute, is his nomination
valid? The action before the court is
for an order to prevent the placing OF
Hetley's name on the official ballot at
the fall election.

Totals

1t will be observed that the Catho-
lies are first in membership and third
in number of churches. The Lush-
Grams are second In membership a~d
first in number of churc hes, viii e the
Methodists are second in numbe o.

the other larger d~enominations follow
in this order: Congregationalis' S,

1t will be news to most people to
know that the Mormons have an or
ganizat'on with IS members in the
state and there will be curiosity to
know where it is located. The Uni
versalists with one church and IL
members seems to be in a rather de-
pressed state, and it is suggested that
some member resign to break the
spell.
At that time, (1906), there were
301, 1923 persons not members of any
church in South Dakota. This equals
65 per cent of the population which
is without the church. This vast num-
Der of course includes a large num-
Der of children who are not old enough
to unite with the church, but it is
manifest that at least one-half of the
people who have arrived at the age
of discretion are not church mem ers.
The evangel'sts ought to find it a
profitable field. 1t should be roted
that the membership reported for the
Catholic church includes the children
of Catholic families in good stand ng
in the church, and for that reason
gives that church disproportionate

Theoretically the law provides the
proper punishment for all offenses but
there are some crimes for which the
punishment provided by law is made
duate. 1t does not fill the bill for it
does not have the desired deterrent
effect on the class of criminals it is
designed to reach. Take q. case in
point right here at home. The spec
tacle of an angry father administering
sound thrashing to beast who in
suited his little daughter on the streets
may not appear to the limited class
which abhors violence in any form as
the proper way to handle a case of the
kind. Fortunately this class is limited
and to most men the course taken by
the father will appeal as just the right
thing. These beasts who pursue young
girls fear physical pain more than. they
do any number Of days in Jail working
out fine and few good thrashings
administered before turning them over
to the police are just what is needed
to put stop to this sort of thing The
man who assaulted /" the beast who
chased his little daughter may have
technically committed an offense
against the law but it is an offense
which will be readily condoned by most
men with red blood in their veins and
by all men who have daughters Of their
own. 1t is a shameful thing to have
to admit but this city needs few more
just his kind, More power to them.
Kenosha may have sunk pretty low in
some respects but it is not yet ready
to admit that it Is streets are not safe

of any measures that it may be neces-
sary to take to make them so.

The tuberculosis Committee
Sends Out Warming Not
to Be Over Confident
CURE TAKES LONG TREATMENT

A dangerous misconception that tu-
berculosis is easy to cure, which is like
ly to be responsible for the death of
thousands who might otherwise be saw
ed if proper methods were used under
proper conditions, has arisen out of the
crusade against tuberculosis, and the
Wisconsin tuberculosis associa.-
tion is making determined effort to
remove this wrong attitude among the
people of this state.
"Some have the idea that by merely
sleeping outdoors, eating great many
eggs and drinking huge quantities of
milk, cure is assured. One would not
think of throwing bricks, mortar and
other building material in a heap and
expect an edifce to grow out of it, still
this is q similar situation,'' says bull
letin issued by the society.
'FCombined with rest and applied
with . comprehensive understanding,
these are the agencies which make for
an almost certain cure of an early or
incipient case of consumption. The
physician, the dispensary and the san
atorium are the only agencies to apply
them properly. That consumptives do
get well in spite of almost every viola
tion of sense and reason should not be
taken as a guide, except as to how
much more can be expected when the
effort is properly directed"
The misconception is an inevitable
result of the anti tuberculosis crusade,
the bulletin adds. When the crusade
was started several years ago, most
people and even physicians considered
consumption incurable In ordeg to
penetrate the wall of pessimism and in
culcate the hopeful message brought by
the great crusade, the early crusaders
were perhaps more optimistic and en-
thusiastic in their claims on the cura-
bility of the disease, than was justified.
1t may have been that the advocates of
the new philosophy exaggerated trife
to strike balance and make an i'm
preston on pessimism, or perhaps the
people went further than was expected
in their reaction. The association pre-
fers to dampen the general enthusiasm,
if it be necessary to letting these too
optimistic patients die because of I'M
warranted self-confdence

SMASHED THE GATES
Peter Mungen Finds a New Way of
Stopping Blocking of Crossings.

Peter. Mungen, the Wisconsin street
livery man, found new way for stop
ping the blocking of street crossings at
the Prairie avenue crossing on Satur-
day evening just after Z 'clock. Nun
gen was driving an ambulance on a
rush call and when he reached the
crossings the gates were down. Two
freight trains passed and the men in
charge of the crossing showed no tend
ency to permit the ambulance to get
over. The tracks had been cleared but
the Waterman was still sounding the
bell and when Mungen asked him to
lift the gates he paid no attention to
him. Mungen backed up a little and
took a. run for the crossing and drove
the horses right through the gates
smashing them right and left. He
cleared the crossing without injury to
the horses or to the ambulance but the
gates were demolished.
