vesting the small grain crop is prac-
tically completed in many sections of

that the work continued over Sunday
without rest, it being deemed import.

rather than take chances on the grain
being damaged by hail or other seri.
GUS storms.
There now is not the slightest doubt
that South Dakota has this season
raised the greatest small grain crop
for many years. In limited areas the
hot weather of the early part of July
injured small grain to such an ex.
tent that it could not make a salts
factory recovery, but in the state at
large the crop is the heaviest produc-
ed for years. In some localities
where tho stalks of the grain were
| stunted by the hot weather of July
the farmers were gratified to find that
the subsequent rains and cool weather
had caused the heads to fill we'll, and
the result is that many of these fields
Of stunted grain will yield as we'll as

By the close Of this week threshing

the northern half. In many localities
in the southern section threshing oper-
atoms have been in progress for sever
al days and returns are commencing
to be received. These show crafty
ing conditions and large yields with
scarcely an exception.
Corn is making rapid progress and

from MIR. Roosevelt his highest praise
and concentration. Being for him

time, was not then a political boss.
but a self-sacrifcing patriot"
Mr.. Tawney said he should consider
it only great honor to be called upon
to aid in the campaign of the "only
candidate who stands for the represen.
tative government by law, under the

the mere will of the man who may be
