THE POTATO CROP.
The OUTLOOK at Present is not as Bright
as it Might be, Says Local
Potato Raiser.

"What of the potato crop?" asked ar
Argus-Leader reporter of Greg Lacey
the potato king of this section of the
country.
"The outlook is not very bright for
home grown spuds" was the answer.
Potatoes are not q lost crop yet, u
continued Mr.. Lacey. "If we can get
rain within the next two weeks there
is no telling what the crop will be. But
If we do not get rains ! would give little
for the potato crop of this section.
"Even the earliest varieties are not
ready for the market. ! have gone
through my patches ami am not dis
couraged. But 1 want rain to come
quickly. There is a wrong impression
about potatoes. think that potatoes
will stand dry weather longer than any
other thing that grows, even corn. That
has been my experience.
Potatoes have been high on the To-
cal market all the spring. That was
natural owing to the dry season, and
the lack of shipments from the south.
This section is not the only section that
is suffering from a shortage of rain.
81 look to see the price of potatoes
drop on the local market in few days.
My advice is that in parts of Mime
sofa they have an immense crop of early
potatoes and as soon as they are put on
the market there will be a drop. The
first of the new crop is expected next
week.
81 still believe that South Dakota will
raise good crop and that we around
Sioux Falls will not only raise all that is
needed for home consumption, but that
We will have "a few" to ship outside.

TIME TO TAKE CARE.

The physical decay of men over
forty must be more frequently men
toned lest we forget the fact that our
physique was evolved for only thirty
five or forty years of strenuous use.
1t was not so long ago that forty
five was extreme old age. counting
time in the large way of evolution
Lengthening of life has been possible
only because civilization has let up
the physical strains, so that if we
continue them we must expect to
break as Of old.
Athletes stop their forts merely
because they are beaten by younger
men, but the non-athletic seem to
think that it is necessary to keep up
excessive exercise though the tissues
simply cannot stand il.
There is then no mystery in the
large number of damaged hearts now
being found and they will continue to
increase in number and severity until
the medical profession succeeds in
impressing the lesson. Let us repeat
it over and over again until every man
over forty or forty-five realizes that
he has lived his allotted time of ply
steal vigor and must ease up the
strains to retain his health.

less likely to spoil.

very good comedy and laughabIe stu

accent, gave the act a very distinctly
Partisan appearance, The comedians
were up to their usual high standing
and dished out humOr which kept the
audience laughing intermittently.
The specialties on the whole We're
very good, and added to the success
of the show in no small way. The
Baby Rose" by Miss Guy, assisted
by the Pauoa SeXtette, furnished an
opportunity for some new steps by
the chorus. The big feature, however,
was the butterfly dance by Miss Guy
as the Goddess of Liberty This
dance was in conjunction with Mr..
Lydston's song, Little Old America
