session looking TO the future owner

Jefferson. From present Indications.
Mrs. Martin Littleton will lose her
hight. While there are many persons
all over the country who say they
would be glad TO see the government
own Monticello. like the Mount Vernon
Association now owns Mount Vernon.
they do not approve OF the methods
employed by Mrs. Littleton in forcing
Congressman Levy TO part with his
property against his will. and for this
reason they are opposed to present
action
Many House members can see no
necessity for precipitate or hurried ac-
ton in forcing Mr. Levy to give I'D
his property. and the indications are
that his ownership will not be dis
turbed. At any rate the question Of
what shall be done is a live ore here,
and has been the cause OF considerable
acrimonious debate in committee rooms
and elsewhere

Many well-known military men have

pay bill which is now pending in Con-
gress. While Mr. Hay has no state
ment to make regarding the matter

that IL Will be passed soon after the

added which military men wanted and

New York, December S-There was
further weakness in domestic wheat
markets early last week. The down

prise and perpleXity. as there seemed

weakness in Europe was chiefly caused
by more favorable weather and crop re-

country. This was party counterbai

sell while there was more spirited
buying for both accounts.
Demand was stimulated partly be
lighter primary receipts and by reports
that farmers were making lighter de-

in winter wheat territory. Ii is the
consensus that almost all needy farm
ers have marketed the bulk OF their
surplus and that those who are we'll

bids. Therefore il is supposed that
ere long there will be further de-
creases in receipts. Buying was accel-

via gulf ports.

interest in all the worlds markets tn"

is made in running bales OF the gross
weight of 500 pounds each, and is COM
piled from estimates on the yield of
lint cotton per acre. predicated on tho
estimated acreage of the Agricultural
Bureau. the final crop condition figures

report TO the Secretary OF the Agrt-

Thursday December a. and it will then
be flashed from there to the various

II is important TO keep in mind that
its estimate is always rendered in the
gross weight OF 500 pounds per bale
and is exclusive Of linters. and that
about 100000 bales of such should he
added to whatever the figures may BEL

The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1912-02-01

The head camp of the Modem
W0odmen OF America held an ad-
journed meeting in Chicago last
week for the purpose of taking
action on the proposition to in
crease the rates of assessment.
The new schedule of rates was
adopted by a vote of $50 to 207,
and will 60 into effect after one
year. The new schedule will raise
the rates from fifty to one hundred
per cent. 1t appears that a meet
ing of state insurance experts met
in Mobile, Ala, some time ago and
drafted bill known as the Mobile
Bill which was designed to create a
uniform fraternal insurance in the
various states. The head officers
of the M. W. of A. have been mott
fed that sixteen states have adopt
ed this bill and that changes will
have to be made before the Wood
men will be permitted to continue
doing business in those states. To
meet those conditions the new
rating has been made.
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1912-02-01

Geo. w. Egan will make sorry
failure of his fight for governor if.
he continues to do it with mud
balls thrown at our state educa-
tional institutions. His remark
at Elk Point that the present
standing of our state university is
"deplorably low" is an insult
which every citizen should resent,
The university is in charge of men
whose ability is recognized thru
out the whole country, and if Mr..
Egan considers himself sample
of the finished product of the state
university of Iowa the university
of South Dakota will not suffer by
a comparison with Iowa of finished
university products.
