SoLONS TO Be ASKED
TO PICK COMMISSION
TO REVISE THE CODE
index Of the Present Volume
Throws Little Light On the
Contents.

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 1T seems likely
that the lawyers of the state will ask
the next legislature to provide for a
commission TO revise the South Dako-
ta code, and bring it up to date, incor-
porating the session laws from 1908
to the present, and citing the decisions
of the South Dakota supreme court to
date.
One thousand four hundred and for
ty-seven cases have been decided by
the court since 1901, when the compila-
ton began, or quite a good deal more
than half of the decisions rendered
since it's founding. There have been
three codifications in the history of the
states, those of 1877, 1887 and 1903.
The latter was authorized in 1901. and
a commission consisting of Bartlett
Trip, chairman; Gideon G. Moody and
James NJ. Brown appointed to do the
work. Its report was accepted in 1904.
The labor and printing cost the state
$14, 911.2S. Since that time private
parties have published other codes,
those of 1908 and 1910; but these have
not been complete. the session laws be-
ing merely inserted in appropriate
places, and the index revised to meet
the new conditions. While the 1903
codification is complete to that date.
and the arrangement excellent. it Is
30 poorly indexed that it requires a
very intimate knowledge of the work
to find any desired section. For in
stance, the very common legal terms
subjects taught in every law school
tort. domestic relations, bailments and
equity, are not to be found in the in
dex. One law student was known to
have discovered the maxims of equity
in the body of the work at one time
by accident. Later, while studying
equity Jurisprudence, he desired to look
UP the south Dakota law o N the sub
ject. He searched the index high and
low and turned over many pages of the
text without being able to locate it. At
last he carried his Dredicament to an
old attorney, who told him that he
thought if he would loo at the end of
the civil code. just before the code of
civil procedure he would FIND what he
was looking for. And here 1t was, but
the index was of nc assistance in the
search.
If the 1913 legislature should provide
for a commission, the new revision
could not be reported before 1915. If
that Legislature should approve the
work. it would take until 1916 before
he book could be printed and put in
the hands of the people. Provided the
commissions product should not prove
satisfactory to the lawmakers, the
adoption of the new code might be put
over till the next session, so that 1t
would be 1918 before the new code
could be distributed. a period of 16
years. equal to that between the pre-
edinr issues

HUMAN OSTRICH STORY
IS A VERlTABLE FACT

Nermillion, S. D., Oct. IA dispatch
appeared in The Tribune last week
concerning ar operation that had been
performed on a man in a Chicago hos
pital. and a number of pocket knives
and other articles of hardware re-
moved from his stomach. DR.. Thomas
Cruickshank, a local physician, was a
little skeptical over the matter, so he
wrote to DIR. I've Stoland, who is a
surgeon in Chicago. concerning it. DR..
Stoland is a graduate OF the University
of South Dakota with the class of 'O9,
and is now a surgeon in the Cook
County hospital In Chicago. 1t SO hap
pened that he was one of the doctors
that had to do with this very opera
ton and In his reply to the local doc
tor stated that the newspaper reports
We're not in the least bit exaggerated.
but that they did not give the whole
story. Some OF the knives We're much
larger than ordinary pocket knives,
and weresof such size that they would
be uncomfortable for carrying in the

HOG OPERATES MOTOR
TO GRIND OWN MEAL
Bookings. S. D.. Oct. 5.-That hogs
may profitably grind their own feed
seems to be the result of a recent ex-
pertinent in fattening pigs at the South
Dakot&. State college. at Brookings. Mr.
Porker may save the cost of grinding
feed n at the same time provide him
self with a profitable occupation.
The hog motor is a continuance sc
arranged as to make the hog do hi.
w grinding before he receives his
feed. 1t is arranged SO that the out
side part revolves around a stationary
part. A large hopper at the top packs
n grain and the hog can work for his
meal any time he chooses.
BY experiment 1t has been found that
1t requires $50 pounds OF corn meal
for a pound OF gain by using the mo.
tor. as compared to s.72 pounds OF
grain for a pound of gain where the
hog had all the corr meal he could
eat.
In speaking of the machine, Professor
Wilson says, With this continuance
arrangements could be made whereby
the feed for several days could be Civ
en- to the hog. After careful observa-
ton W. noticed that the hog consumed
all the grain he ground. The ma
