There are at present IA, 6l8, 76l Roman
Catholics in the United States, accord
ing to the 1911 Wiltzeius official Catho-
lie directory which is now in press. The
figures given do not include the Catho-
lies in the Philippines, Porto Rico OF
Hawaiian islands. for if these were
added the number of Roman Catholics
under the stars and stripes would be
nearly twenty-three million.

Newspapers are supposed to print
the news and all of it, but it is not up
TO publication to print all the scandals
which occur in any community nor all
of the reports which come from scandal
mongers. Nor will new man in the
newspaper business make good in a
community by advertising all of the
shortcomings of his town because he is
not favored at first with all of the BUSH
ness of the community. f. L. Sem,
who has made himself famous or infam
ous-by the fact that he conducts a
string of thirteen newspapers over
across the river in the various towns
along the new railroads, hoping to
enrich himself by the final proof notices,
started a paper in Deadwood, and
because he was not favored with the
patronage he began to knock and con-
denim the administration Of the city.
He even went so far as to insist upon
the governor sending the attorney gen
eral out for an investigation of the
states attorney of Lawrence county and
the city attorneys of Lead and Dead
wood. The report of the attorney gen.
eral has cleared matters considerably
and that report reflects nothing upon
the veracity of Mr.. Sem. Now comes
the citizens of Lead at public meet
ing an account Of which appears in
another column--and adopt resolutions
publicly denouncing him. Mr.. Sem
seems to have gotten off on the wrong
foot this time, and his efforts at reform
should be turned upon himself, and by
careful trsining he win be enabled to
live without slandering the Hills peo-
pie, whom we know to be among the
best people on earth. =

Az soon % the first hint Of warm

Then, when thsy are Matched

Every one now should begin to
water all such breeding places
with an application of two ounces
OF Paris green (poison) to ono gal

no cattle or other animals got &C.

During the Winter months flies
lie torpid, and are not killed by

wake up and start breeding.

WANT TO MAKE $4,000?

New Orleans, La, April IL
Twenty thousand dollars will be paid
for the delivery in Mexico, at a
point between Ell Paso and Chihau-
hua, for consignment of $4,000
worth of ammunition for the Mexi-
can revolutionists A New Orleans
business man today was appealed to
by a member of the revolutionary
junta to devise some way of guaran-
teeing the delivery of the shipment
of ammunition which is said to be
waiting on railroads sidetracks in
Pennsylvania.
Men experienced in the revolu-
tionary game in New Orleans have
never had serious trouble in getting
guns and ammunition to, Central
American countries by steamer, but
they are without experience in ov-
erland shipments, and the agent of
the 1unta was unable to make salts
factory arrangements for the move
ment Of the ammunition.

SIOUX FALLS is LEFT OUT

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 1.-THE
South Dakota baseball league was
organized at meeting held at HUI
ron Tuesday and Sioux Falls was
left out for the simple reason that
there was no representative from
this city present or no communica-
ton at hand signifying an intention
on the part of Sioux Falls of be-
coming member of the league. The
fact that Sioux Falls was not pres
ent was something of disappoint-
ment to those who were behind the
league proposition. They had been
led to believe that Sioux Falls was
anxious for berth in the league,
but under the conditions as they
found them they went ahead and or
gained a six team league leaving
Sioux Falls out. The teams which
will make up the league are Mitchell,
Huron, Watertown, Aberdeen, Red
field and Faulkton.
ioii.Ais w lrLot SCdI cApSl lSuCS
when some of the teams dropped out,
Gripping the league before the sea-
son was over, the league this year
demands a deposit to guarantee that
the teams will play the schedule out.
The league composed as above
stated should be a winner. The six
teams are among the best baseball
towns in the state, and with judc-
ious management, and a moderate
salary list, the teams should pull
through the season at little expense
to the city.
A playing schedule has not been
adopted as yet, but IL is generally
understood that the season will open
May 20, and close some time in Au.

FRENCH GIRLS LIKE CHICKENS.

Paris, April 19.-"The Girl OF To-
day" was the title of lecture given
last week by French prelste, Mgr.
Henry Bolo, at fashionable hall,
Rue de la Boetie. The well-knoWn
oratory of the speaker and the sub
ject chosen proved such an attrac-
tion hat one of the most aristocratIc
audiences ever assembled in Paris
crowded the large hall, and the cor
ridors and lobby to the street doors.
France, Mgr. Bolo said, was pass
ing through a crisis which principal
ly affected the girls of the nation,
Whatever the outcome might be, in
their delicate hands lay the secret of
the mysterious future.
Between the girl CT 1900 and her
sister of 1910, he remarked, a great
gulf lay. The modern girl was dis
tinguished by an intense desire for
intellectual culture. She wanted to
study everything, and she learned
great deal-too much, in fact-from
the point of view of the older gen
Grafton.
Mgr Bolo was not quite convinced
that the change was altogether for
the better. He did not like girl au-
thors or chickens who
had missed their way"-any more
then he did those who fed on the
cheap novel while making skirts
which were trousers in disguise or
hats that might serve as sentry
BIKES
His sympathy went out, he said, to
the mass Of girls who wanted to
breathe more rarified atmosphere
and refused to consider the domains
OF art, science and literature as clos
ed to them. The girl of today de-
served to be encouraged in her aspir-
ations toward intellectual culture.
Mgr. Bolo roundly censured Schopen-
hauer for his definition of women as
IAN animal with long hair and a lin
tied mind" and his declaration that
her reading ought to be confined to
pious works and cookery books.

cultural advancement in the history
of the nation. Officials of lines pen
etrating the west are looking for
ward to greater movement of col
onists during 1911 than took place
last year, important as that year
was. Down in Dixie and in the
southwest, the railway opinion is that
the tide of immigration will exceed
this year the record made last yeal
for increased population and the rea-
sons for this optimism are Logical
ones.
A forcible Illustration of the sta
bility of the middle western move
ment, for instance, is found in the
development which took place, or is
indicated as soon to take place be-
cause of the influx of land settlers,
n the state Of Utah in February.
During this one month $4,000 acres
Of lands were taken under the pro-
visions of the homestead law. The
Oullcu states ldli OHlCG dl Odll Lane
City reports this acreage as the
largest, by fifty per cent, for the
business for one month in the history
of the office. Recently homestead
ers' excursion was operated from
Chicago to western Texas. The col
onists represented twenty different
states.
These are some of the more po-
tent contentious of Chicago bust
ness men in their predictions con-
corning the success that will mark
the work of the Irrigation congress
in Chicago this year. Chicago is the
one American center and source of
distribution most logically adequate
to the enormity of the development
movement as a whole and the city
is naturally the most advantageous
host this year for the congress and
for the exhibits Of farm products,
which are to be repeated here this
fall.

WHEAT RANCH BRINGS
BIG SUM IN OREGON

Portland, Ore, April l7.-En-
enlargement for the man who would
become a pioneer on some of the
still vacant lands of the far west is
found in the experience of John
Bahr, thrifty German who has lust
sold his wheat ranch in UmatiIa
county, Oregon, for $4,000 and has
moved to this city to spend the rest
of his life.
John Bahr and his wife came to
oregon SO years ago and went to
Umatilla county where they settled
on a quarter section covered with
bunch grass and sage brush. The
prospect was not inviting. Jackrab-
bits and coyotes roamed the coun-
tryside.
You're fool, Bahr," said Major
Barnhardt, who was acting Indian
'agent at the Cayuse station. I
wouldn't give you $l3 for all the
land in this country You can't do
anything with it but raise jackrab-
bits and coyotes; it is too dry for
anything else
Bahr smiled little, but went
Iahead just the same. He believed
Ithat land that would grow such
bunch grass would raise grain as
we'll. His belief was justified, and
he harvested his grain crops he adj
ded more land, farm by farm, until
his ranch contained 920 acres,
stretching mile in one direction
and a mile and half in the other.
In the 80 years he was in possession
Mr. Bahr piled UP fortune and his
house, costing nearly $4,000, had
all modern conveniences.
"The land I sold was in better
condition than when 1 took it up 33
years ago. said Mr.. Bahr. ''There
is today not foot of waste land on
the farm and it will produce from
80 to 35 bushels Of wheat to the
acre. There are fine lot of farm
ers in eastern Oregon. They have
done we'll and all have good homes
My crops for the last few years have
averaged from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually. OF course, at first I did not
raise so much grain
