OUR CROPS THE BEST
George Randall of Rapid City
Says that the Crops in This
Vicinity Are tue Best

George II. Randall of Rapid City,
but well known in Sioux Falls, spent
the day in the city on a return trip
from the east.
81 left South Dakota nearly three
weeks ago." remarked MIR. Randall,
80 am not personally acquainted
with the crop conditions in our sec
tion Of the state at the present time.
When | left they were in need Of rain.
| have heard that they have had four
inches of rain in the past ten days
which should certainly put the crops
in excellent condition.
'But | paid especial attention to
the crops between Chicago and Sioux
Falls. The crops through Illinois and
eastern Iowa are not very good. How
ever as you come further west the
improvement is most noticeable. Take
from Waterloo to Sioux Falls the i'm
provement in the small grain crop
was most noticeable. Hundreds and
hundreds of people have purchased
automobiles who are not able to own
machines. The banks are beginning
to realize that they have made a grave
mistake in taking SO much automobile
paper, and it is my opinion that the
man who has not the money to pur-
chase machine will have a hard
time in the future getting the banks
to take his note secured on automo-
biles.-Sioux Falls Argus Leader.

Stock Shipments TO Break
Records

According to Assistant Division
superintendent Leppla Of the Chica-
go & Northwestern railroad, this year
will break all records in stock ship
ments from this section. Mr.. Leppla
has just been making tour of the
stock shipping points along this line
and finds that everywhere hay and
fodder is SO short that stockmen pre-
fer to take no chances but will ship
out all available stock. Shipmen are
adopting the same policy and all are
now arranging with the railroad for
the transmission of their stock to
market as fast as cars can be supplied.

BALLOONS TO TEST
ATMOSPHERE
Interesting Statement To Be
Tried by Weather Bureau
Station at Huron

Sometime early in August OF this
year the United States weather bureau
contemplates sending up from Huron
a number of what are known as
Sounding Balloons" in order to as
certain the condition of the atmos-
phere at great elevations as compared
with that at the earth's surface.
These balloons are constructed with
rubber and when inflated with hydro
gen gas measures from to s feet in
diameter and have lifting capacity
of from to 10 pound. Each balloon
carries with it light wicker basket
containing delicately constructed
instrument which automatically re-
cords the temperature, pressure and
humidity in the region of the atmos-
phere to which the balloon ascends,
which is in some cases as much as II
to Is miles from above the surface OF
the earth.
Attached to each ballon and basket
is parachute. The decreasing uen-
sity of the atmosphere as the balloon
ascends permits the expansion of the
hydrogen gas to finally explode, the
balloon, thereby releasing the para
chute, which gradually descends to
the earth and safely lands the basket
containing the instrument, the latter
having faithfully made its record at
every stage of it's progress through
the air.
Attached the basket is a card con-
tanning detailed instructions for who
ever may find it, and Offering com
pensation for it's return by express at
the expense of the government. to
some designated office of the United
States weather bureau.
1t is very important that the finder
Of one of these baskets should not in
any way tamper with the instrument,
as the record made by it is delicately
traced on smoked cylinder, and any
obliteration of this record would mat.
erially affect, if not wholly destroy
it's value.
The weather bureau has to depend
for the results of these ascensions up
on the chance of someone finding anG
returning the basket and instrument
Out of thirteen ascensions made last
year at Omaha, Neb., all but one Of
the baskets and instruments was
found and returned as directed.
The finder of one of the baskets
will not only greatly aid in meteorol
ogical research, but will as we'll con
fer favor upon the United State:
weather bureau, by closely following
the instructions attached to the bas
ket.
The descent of the balloon para
chute and basket, as we'll as the as
cent of the balloon, should be closel!
watched for by interested persons, a!
the balloon moves rapidly and in mos
cases soon passes out of sight. II
some cases the basket and instrumen
have been found from three to fou
hundred miles distant from the plac'
of ascent.-Hurod Dispatch in Aber
deem News.

WV Closing Out

Friday there were shipped from
this station thirty-eight cars Of stock,
the smaller punches going to South
Omaha but the most of the WV
stuff went to Chicago. Saturday there
were one hundred and four cars-four
double header trains-sent out of
here, the larger part of the stuff be-
longing to the western rangers, al
though there are a large number of
grangers who are shipping.
This year will about wind up the
big shipments from this point, for the
reason that WV outfits are closing
out and that is the last of the big
outfits. And on account of the ex-
ceptionally dry year and the conse-
quent shortage of hay, the majority
of the smaller outfits and the grang-
ers are also closing out their holdings.

NO BASEBALL
 IN BIG TOWNS Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Other Big Cities in State
 Out of Running.
AMATEURS WILL PLAY
No Professional Sport, But Many Big League Teams Will "N Ork-out>
 at Capital and Hot Springs.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 2o.-F1ve of the largest towns in Arkansas will this year be without professional baseball of any character. These towns are Fort Smith, Little Rock, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff and Texar- kama.
 The national game takes as well in these towns as any, and the fans are beginning to wonder where they will drum up teams to supply this long felt want. It has been suggested that semi-professionals be banded together in a class organization, with salary limit so low the amateurs of the var ious towns will have to supply the talent. and this will give something to root over at least. As Little Rock is opposed to any sort of basepail whatever, expecting before the end o1 the season to have the rainbow turn to a straight and narrow path and uncover the pot of gold in return of a Southern League franchise to the Arkansas city, it is probable the park here could not be secured, but Argen- ta has a good park, and with no base ball here that town could. support team with a small monthly pay roll. In case such an organization could be formed. Little Rock could not put team in any league without first treat ing with the sister city in order to get the territory back.
 For the present nothing will be done concerning an organization of this kind, for Little Rock will get plenty of spring baseball through the report ing here of the St. Louis Cardinals, March ', which is just ten days off. The Cardinals will remain here thirty days and during that time will meet many of the other barn storming big league teams.
 Hot Springs will also get plenty of sport out of the Boston-Americans and the champion ittsburg team, but when these big teams have passed on to the North, the hungry sportsmen will then have to make turn, and it is believed call for league meet ing here in April will bring the rep resentatives of at least half dozen towns on the jump.
 One of the beauties of league of this character, would be the small towns which could break the long jumps, Prescott, Hope, Clarksville and Russellville. all being of suffi- cient size to support teams with small salary lists.

GAS. INDIGESTION
 AND HEARTBURN GO

The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from In digestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-order stomach is merely matter of how soon you begin taking some Diapep- sin.
 If your Stomach is lacking in di- gestive power, why not help the stom- ach to do it's work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of diges- tive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach.
 People with weak Stomachs should take a little Diapepsin occasionally, and there will be no more Indigestion. no feeling like a lump of lead in the stomach, no heartburn, Sour risings, Gas on Stomach or Belching of undi- gested food, Headaches, Dizziness or Sick Stomach, and besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors. All Of these symptoms resulting from a sour out of order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes af- ter taking a little Diapepsin.
 Go to your druggist and get 50- cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now, and you will always go to the table with hearty appetite, and what you eat will taste good because your stomach and intestines will be clean and fresh, and you will know there are not going to be any more bad nights and miserable days for you. They freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living
