BOUNTiFUL DAKOTA cONDOLES
WITH DROUGHT STRICKEN IOWA

Mitchell. S. D.. Sept. 28--It is re-
ported here that a South Dakota friend
of an Iowa farmer shipped him bale
OF hay I'm a refrigerator car. The Iowa
farmer was delighted, but when he took
1T out to give to his cows. the cows
ran away and three of them plunged
into a wire fence with such disastrous
effect that they had to be killed The
explanation is that the cows had not
seen anything green for so long that
they took fright at the sample of hay
from South Dakota. In this connec-
ton South Dakota is moved to extend
it's heartfelt sympathy to the drought
stricken state of Iowa. and any time
the people OF that state wish to re-
fresh their eyes by a broad expanse o.,
green fields. they should come UP into
south Dakota, which, by the way, is
located in the rain belt.

FAITH MANS RICH PROFIT
ON SMALL POTATO PATCt

Faith. S. d.. Sept. 28.-Potatoes
worth $1.925 were this year raised on
two and one-helf acres OF ground with
in Is miles of Faith.
Some of the potatoes have already
been delivered to local merchants, who
bought them eagerly as among the best
'spuds" OH the market.
Mr.. Oakland lives Is miles southwest
OF Faith. on Brushie creek, and last
spring planted two and one-half acres
of potatoes. The patch was irrigated
twice during the season, and when the
potatoes We're dug last week the yield
was found to be in excess Of $50 bush
els to the acre, or SS5 bushels on the
entire patch.
At the time of marketing the output
the market price was 1920 bushel,
this price netting Mr.. Oakland $1,925
for his yield. Had the season been a
few weeks earlier, when potatoes were
worth six cents a pounds, Mr.. Oakland
would have cleaned up $3.50 from his

ABERDEEN COMMISSIONER
INDICATED 1Y ElECTOH

Aberdeen. s. D.. Sept. 28.--At the
special recall election held here yester-
day, the voters sustained z. d. Ras-
mussen. commissioner OF fire and po-
lice, by giving him majority Of 712
votes over A. K. Mehner. his opponent,
.ut OF total of nearly 1900. Mehner
received but 442 votes to 1.154 for Ras-
mussen. There were more signers to
Mehner's petition than there were
votes cast for him. About two-thirds
the regular city vote was cast.
Rasmussen's opponent was formerly
a member OF the police force and later
a Milwaukee railroad conductor. The
campaign has been bitterly fought, the
commissioners opponents resorting to
printed circulars containing charges
against him.
Rasmussen was supported for re-
election by all the members of the city
commission, on the ground that the
charges against him were trivial. and
the effort to GUST him an abuse OF the
recall power.
The city commission form OF govern
ment was adopted last June, and Ras-
mussen and the other commissioners
have served barely three months.

ident Taft arrived in Syracuse early
today to remain until o'clock this

the administration until he reaches the
western border. Today he confined
himself to the discussion of farming
methods and the necessity of con-
servation of the soil.

the final dividend for the year will
not be paid by the old company. In

has been playing the double role 4
leader Of the revolutionary social pat-

In this dual role Gogroff, like Eu-

to the parties, to his friends, revo-
lutionaries and to his employers, the

he was selected to assassinate NJ. Stol-

this commission he betrayed many of
his comrades to the police. These be-
trayed companions who were either
executed or "lost" in Siberia. In or

arrested no fewer than five times for
various political offenses that were
arranged SO that his terms Of i'm

played traitor to the police. He OBJ

in his line.

bushels of oats. w. d. Peerman is

Grain is running very heavy in weight.
The highest we have heard of is forty
six pounds of oats to the bushel.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. C. Sanders and
daughter, Miss Rachel, departed Fri
day for their home in Pennsylvania
after three months visit with their
sons. Little Hazel accompanied them
for year in the east. On the way
to Denver they stop off at Monte
Vista to visit relatives who meet them
at Alamosa with their auto.
Miss Margaret Baldwin of Ohio,
who will teach the upper room this
year, and Miss Weston of Maine, en-
gagged to teach at the Fort Lewis
Agricultural school, arrived Friday.
Miss Weston will spend week here
with her friend.

pany in Allison Thursday.
Bean harvest is rushing the farmer
None of our people have the imple-
ments especially adapted to harvest
ing and threshing beans and it is just
as laborious as in the days of the
patriarchs when they picked and piled
the beans by hand and threshed them
out with fail. Is there music in
a fail or romance on threshing
floor? Perhaps to an oriental thou
sand years ago but the world has
moved since then.
Allison transients are sometimes
hard pressed for a place to board. a
boarding house is needed here and a
person, having small piece of land
not depending solely on boarders
could do well here.

DERAILMENT OF THE
WHITE HOPE" SPECIAL
''Next!'

"Nextw
The White Hope" special with Carl
Morris, the pugnacious engineer of
Sapulpa, at the throttle, struck an
open switch last night and was de-
layed at Madison Square garden, New
York.
After thirty minute investigation
1t was officially announced by the
judges, some 10000 or $1,000, that
one Jim Flynn of Pueblo, Colo, fire.
quently referred to in the past as
the Fighting Fireman" but hereafter
as the Hope Crusher," was the cause
of the delay.
Last Fourth of July these two mitt
pushers were ready to muss up each
others mugs but Daddy Law stepped
from his high chair and informed
them that he would allow no such
pleasant pastime in his backyard, but
t'they were Just spofffFg FUSS 50
their managers cast an eagle eye
around and by mutual consent selected
the scene of last nights conflict, hence
the disaster was a pfemeditated act
of Flynn's.
From press accounts the disaster
was one Of the fiercest "goes" in ring
history, with the engineer doing most
of the receiving.
Let's take glimpse backward at
the ring career of both men and see
whether Morris should be cast into the
discards as "hope."
Crushed and sore at heart by the
defeat of Jeffries, July a, 1910, Nor
ris resigned his job as an engineer and
vowed to never run an engine again
until he had licked Jack Johnson, the
husky negro heavyweight champion.
Being a giant in stature he was
encouraged to take up the white mans
burden. After weeks of hard training
he was matched to fight some husky
with local reputation, he won that
fight with ease. Step by step, or
rather man by man, he was sent
against tougher opponents, rounding
out his first year as a pug by seven
straight wins, all by the sleep route.
Truly mcteoric career for rank
novice. Last night he tackled Flynn,
one of the toughest of the tough, and
met his first setback. For ten rounds
they stood shoulder to shoulder and
slugged as only two well trained ath-
letes can. At the end of the "go"
Morris face was battered to pulp,
but he was still fighting with all his
strength. Showed very plainly that
the Hope" was game and willing,
but lacking the experience, skill and
cunning of his adversary.
Jim Flynn has been following tho
fight game for many years and is
veteran, his bulldog tenacity being
ring lore. He has fought all of the
topnotches and always gives good
account of himself. Burns, Johnson
and Longford, the former an ex-
champion, johnson the present cham
pion, and the latter the most danger
Gus contender for that position, have
all handed the sleep potion to jim
He is showing the best form at pres
ent of his long career. Last winter
he put AL Kaufman, looked upon by
many to be Johnson's successor, to
sleep in the tenth round.
