STRANGER TO MODERN LIFE
a VISITOR IN SIOUX CIT

C~enterville, S. D., Aug, 10.-That q
person can be happy, prosperous and
contented, without taking q summer
outing each year, riding on railway
trains, trolly cars, or going auto rid
ing, is striktngly proven by the life of
Mrs. Sarah Anderson, living Z miles
southeast Of this city on the same land
where the family settled in 1878. Mrs.
Anderson's husband died several years
& and a fine modern residence has
lately taken the place OF the "shanty"
built in pioneer days. All these SO
years since coming to Dakota terri
tory, Mrs. Anderson has not ridden OF
q railroad. She mas never seen a trolly
car, or heard the din and hustle Of city
traffic. Contentment IN we'll doing
and a life of simple living In her quiet
country home, has satisfied all her
needs.
Mrs. Anderson has decided, however,
to break the monotony of her quiet
life and TAX a ride on the cars for a
change. Saturday she sent to town for
a suit case and other equipments neces-
sary for the journey, and will visit
relatives in Sioux City this week.
Whether the pleasure h is taking in
anticipation OF her journey and visit,
will be greater than the participation
in whiTling along in railway trains and
street cars and hearing the noise Of .
busting city, remains 10 be told.

REPORT Of THE
TARIFF BOARD
ACCOMPANYING THE REPORT
SENT TO CONGRESS is TAFT's
MESSAGE ON SUBJECT.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 2O.-With
the long awaited tariff board report
sent to congress today was President
Tafts message recommending that
the rates on wool be reduced ma
terially.
The message characterized the tar
iff report as the most complete state
ment on this difficult subject ever
presented to a legislative body. Taft
gives emphasis to the fact that the
report is unanimous. He recommends
that the proposed revision adhere to
the protection policy based on the
difference between the cost of produc-
tion at home and abroad.
Taft explains that the wool bill
was vetoed last August because he
believed that public policy demanded
that he wait until the tariff board had
made its report.
The boards report suggests a gen
eral revision of the duties ON wool
and many reductions in rates. In
nearly all classes OF the schedule, the
boards experts report a majority Of
the duties prohihitory ard condemn
the system of levying them. 1t would
assess a duty upon scrubbed wool,
not the wool and grease combined,
and suggests a graduated scale of I'd
valorem rate on cloth.
