NEWSBOY USES AUTO TO
DELIVER HIS NEWSPAPERS

WEST HAVEN, Conn, Sept. T.
Walter Gee is probably the only
newsboy in the United States who de-
livers his papers with an automo-
bile.
Recently, Gee, who has 1,500 custom
ers in and near the city of West
Haven. Conn, discarded the horse out
fits he had been using for years and
purchased a Ford Model T touring
car.
Heretofore, each afternoon Gee sent
out his horse-drawn rigs, each accom-
panied by six boys, who left the pa
pers on the customers doorstep. He
used to leave the newspaper office
about S:15 each afternoon and was
seldom through before s o'clock.

ADD FAMINE TO WAR
NIcARAGUA's REVOLT HAS NEW
HORROR IN STARVATION.
Republic In a State Of Anarchy, and
Utter HeIpIessness as Result OF
Revolution.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The horrors
Of the civil wal in Nicaragua have
been added to by famine. The Red
Cross has come to the rescue, having
authorized on Wednesday the expendi-
ture of a thousand dollars in foodstuffs
to be sent from Panama to Corinto
by the Justin.
The Justin is the vessel which has
been ordered to transport $50 marines
to Corinto to be marched to Managua.
The purchase of the supplies from
the government at Panama IA the
quickest way to send relief to the
starving N~icaraguans.
The dispatches to the state and
navy departments show that the re-
public is in a state Of anarchy and
OF utter helplessness. Nicaragua has
been unable to borrow any money
since her efforts to get it from the
United States failed. Her debts to
foreign nations are still unpaid and
there seems to have been nc "a of
paying them except by a loan from
the United States.

VIII Not Harm Industry
Points to Pledges.

Washington. Aug. 12.-For the sec
ond time within a year, President
Taft vetoed a bill Friday to revise the
wool tariff schedule K of the Payne
Aldrich law. With a message of dis
approval the president returned to

Sioux Falls.-Aroused from their
Sleep by water pouring into their home
which had become surrounded by the
flood of waters from a cloudburst. and
narrowly escaping with their lives,
was the experience of Mr.. and Mrs.
George w. Pence, who res.de on a
homestead In Gregory county. Their
home is built on a level tract OF
ground on milestone creek. They re-
tired as usual without a thought of
danger. About midnight there was a
heavy rain, but they little realized
that the rain feature of the storm was
of the cloudburst variety. The rush
ing Of the torrent against their dwell
ing aroused them. An investigation
revealed that they were surrounded
by an impossible sea Of rushing wa
ters and that the water already was
knee deep in their house. The water
kept rising steadily and they finally
were compelled to take refuge on the
root. Fortunately their house held
fast to it's foundations. They were
compelled to remain on the roof until
the next day, when neighbors living
on higher. ground discovered their pre-
dicament ard rescued them after much
effort. SIEVE L of their small buildings
and their I've stock and other prop
erty VS. swept away by the flood,
their financial loss being heavy.

of this part of the state will exceed
the estimates, is indicated by reports
of the threshing machines operating
in fields in this and neighboring coun-
ties. Wheat is going from IL to Is
bushels per - farmers af-
firm that their fields will exceed these
figures from 5 to- Z bushels. From 35
to SIS bushels Of oats is reported, with
barley and rye from 16 to 25 bushels
per acre. For 40 acres of rye, a
farmer living ear Miller got So
bushels, machine measured; Thomas
Nelson, living near Wallace, got 80
bushels of oats per acre; from two
loads Of bundles another Kingsbury
count, farmer received $50 bushels
of wheat, machine measure. Thresh-
ing has only commenced, but from re-
ports from the machines in operation
it IL safe to assume that the wheat

reach 80, OOO, O0O, with rye 5000, 900, and
oats at least $4,000, 900, and the corn

Meeting Of Engineers.

Pierre.-State Engineer Lea, as
president of the South Dakota En-
gineers' society, is sending out re-
quests that the annual meeting of that
body be held during the good roads
congress recently called by the gov
ernor for August 81 in Pierre. The
purpose of getting the engineers to-
gether at that time is to discuss the
good roads project and to talk over
proposed legislation on the subject. 1t
will certainly be an excellent chance
for them to hear authorities on good
roads and to get valuable suggestions
on ways and means OF making and
maintaining South Dakota roads in
first class condition. Mr.. Lea is antici-
pating a large attendance of engineers
here at the time set, for he believes
the engineers of the state realize the
Importance of the subject for discus

SILK FLAG
GIRLS PRESENT TO SOUTH DAko-
IA REGIMENT NOW IN HIS
ToR,cAL COLLECTION.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-The department OF history
has received from Capt. Fred G. Hunt
ington of Aberdeen a small SILK nag,
1Ox15 inches in size, and has placed
1t in a prominent position in the nag
cabinet. The story of the flag is best
told in Capt. Huntingtons own words:
"This flag was sen to Lieut.. Fred
G.. Huntington, Company F, First
South Dakota voluntary infantry, by
Miss Edna ]. Peabody, of Webster, S.
D., in the winter of 1S9S-1S99 and re
ceived by him about the first OF the
year 1899. Shortly thereafter the reg
iment was sent out inc the trenches
in the immediate vicinity of Manila
and held there for a matter OF four
months. Just prior to the movement
against the Philippines, Company F
was in a somewhat detached position
and while there this little flag was
raised on a long bamboo pole by hal
yards of Irvine, a part of which re-
mains attached to it now. 1t was
raised mornings and taken own We
nings by the men of the company for
some time and when the forward
movement began, Lieut.. Huntington
carried it with him.
''The morning the movement against
the city of Malolos was begun prepa-
rations we're made for a stiff conflict
n the South Dakota regiment was
placed on the firing line and in the
formation, the left guide of Company
corporal Saltzer-became the cen
ter guide of the regiment. Someone
suggested that inasmuch as the reg1-
mental colors were not on the line,
having been left either in the city or
with the reserves, the little flag be
used, and this was done. 1t was tied
to the ramrod of Corporal Saltzer's
ened o the muzzle so that he was en-
abled to hold it quite a distance in the
air. Col. Frost observed it and as the
regiment was passing through bamboo
and underbrush all the way, he gave
out the order to guide on the little
flag and this was passed up and down
the line in the usual manner, and the
advance was begun with the regiment
keeping their distance from the little
nag, WHICH was apout al Ihae Soui'
be seer from the right or left of the
regiment.
Corporal Saltzer carried the little
flag into the capitol of the PHILIPPINE
republic and it was used more or less
until the regimental colors were
brought up. Subsequently it was
brought back to the United States by
Lieut.. Huntington and by him re
turned to the donor, who in turn, with
him, has given it to the state Of South
Dakota to be preserved among the
other mementoes and relics of the
First South Dakota volunteer infantry
thus far the states only regiment
ever mustered into service of the
United States in a foreign war"

Automobiles Ia South Dakota.

Pierre.-That the automobile buy

by hard times" is shown In the reg

and the addition of 1O1 to that
since the first day Of August, bringing
the last registered number up to
1897. The Indications at present are
that the number of.autos registered in
this state will reach to " 5000
before the beginning OF 1918. This
means a heavy Investment in motor
