NEW YORK, oct "a story OF
the bravery OF the sailors and marines

here today, by Second Lieut.. George
W. Martin, OF Somery1lle, Mass. Lieut..

story OF the work OF the marines and

the fire OF machine guns and rifles
that raked them from both sides, and
charged the enemy.

they rolled down a muddy hillside

The rebels, entrenched at the top OF
q mountain that commanded the road
for several miles, had barred the
main road and all of the trails with
criss-crossed barbed wire There
were several different barricades OF

Mother Was on Titanic

+. K. X. Hewlett is among the
anxious ones, made so by the awful
accident which happened to the Ii
tanic. His mother was to be in Ra-
pid City April 20 for a visit with
her son and family. She sailed on
the Titanic, and to his great relief
her name or what is supposed to
be her name, appears in the list of
those saved. The name is erroneous
ly spelled, but it is near enough
right to lead him to suppose that
she is among the saved ones. Mr..
Hewlett is probably on his way to
New York now, as he telegraphed
from Wyoming to the effect that
he was about to start. The world
is large, but not very large, after
all. 1t is probable she was not the

Is scarcely necessary to describe
scab, since every one is familiar
with it. The internal rot, how
ever, is probably not so we'll
known. Up to the present time
it does not seem to have done
very great amount of damage.
However, it is probably more pre-
valent than is generally supposed.
Various lots of stored potatoes,
examined for the internal rot,
showed an average of about one
fifth of the tubers in various stages
of decay. 1t has been seen in
practically all sections of the state,
and precautions should be taken at
this time to prevent it's farther
spread. 1t is not difficult to rec
ognize it: it is dry, brown rot,
beginning in the stem end of the
tubers. Sometimes secondary soft
rots appear, thus fastening the
decay of the potato.
Preventive methods are simple.
TO prevent scab, the seed" po-
tatoes should be soaked in formal
dehyde solution lone pint of for
maldehyde in 30 gallons of water)
for two hours They should then
be planted in soil which has grown
no potatoes for from three to five
years. The brown rot cannot be
prevented by formaldehyde treat
ment. Only clean ''seed'' should
be planted. If there is brown rot
in the lot of ''seed' potatoes,
they should be sorted, and only
those showing no symptoms of
brown or soft rot should be plant
ed Three years does not seem
to be long enough period for
eliminating the disease from the
soil; SO, if brown rot has been
present in a field, potatoes should
not be grown on the same land
for at least four or FIVE years.

SHOOTING AFFAIR At STURG|S
Murderer Commits Suicide by
Cutting His Throat with
Piece of Glass

Rapid City, April 2l.-The peo
pie of Sturgis were Mortified a
six O'Clock last evening to learr
that Elmer Ladd had been shot
by Richard Stoll, death resulting
Immediately. The shooting oc
Cured in the office of Lawyer
| McNenny. Mr.. Stoll gave himself
up and was taken 20 the Jail. On
his way he handed the revolver
with which he did the deed, to the
officer, saying that he did not need
that any more. Everybody was
talking wondering about the shoot,
ing and excitement was running
high. Sturgis people were great
ly exercised over it, but they were
destined to have another chapter
that added to it's horrors. While
the coroner's jury was sitting in
the case someone from the Jail
sent word over that the prisoner
had killed himself. Sure enough,
that was correct. He had cut his
throat with a piece of glass.
The causes leading up to this
tragedy commenced some years
ago in the trial of a land case.
Then when the bank failed Mr..
Stoll lost several thousand dollars.
Lately he lost team of horses,
and now he was of the opinion
that someone was trying to get
away with his land. They were
talking in Mr.. McNenny's office,
and words ensued, which led Mr..
StCll to shoot. 1t is said that Mr..
Ladd Struck him first.
Then when he realized what he
had done he thought the only way
to end it. 1t was either this, or
he had lost his mind.
Elmer Ladd was Sturgis boy,
and leaves wife and two small
children. About five years ago
he married Harriet Sheffield,
daughter of Sam Sheffield, who
died about three months ago. His
father, George w. Ladd, is
prominent man there, and Elmer
Ladd was mayor of Sturgis, until
his opponent, Fred Hampton, was
elected last week. He was also
the cashier of the Meade County
bank.

Profit in Cow-Testin9

A striking example of the ad-
vantage accruing to the dairyman
from the careful testing of his
cows is afforded in a recently
published synopsis of the work of
a single Cow Testing Association.
The profit on one herd of forty
five cows, for the limited period
of the test, was $122.21. The pro-
fit on the best ten cows included
in the same herd was s151.82. 1t
is therefore seen that not only did
the owner feed and care for thirty
five poor cows, with no return
whatever, but he actually spent
upon them $29.61 of the money
earned by the ten good cows. He
would have been far better off had
he kept only the ten.
1t is to save the dairyman from
such needless misapplication of
his energies, and to make sure
that every COW in his herd shall
contribute her proportionate
amount to his gross earnings, that
Cow Testing Associations have
been called into existence. There
are now probably 100 such asso-
Citations in the United States.
Each member usually pays 81 per
COW per year for the services of
the expert employed to do the
testing. To some, this may seem
a high figure, especially as the
dairyman is expected to board and
lodge the expert for the day Civ
en-, once q month, to the work.
But that the outlay justiies itself
is seen from results.
The proper selection of the herd
on the sole basis of the produc-
tion of milk and butter-fat, is the

Laugh And The World Laughs

The poet was right-there is
nothing SO catching as joyous
laughter. Next to kiss laugh
is the most popular thing in the
world. The supply of kisses is
limited, being largely controlled
by fair but capricious trust. The
supply of laughs, however, is
practically unlimited so long as you
don't get too grouchy to look for
them. One reason for the remark
able success of The Chicago Rec
ord Herald is it's daily recognition
of the value of kindly, wholesome
fun. The "Alternating Currents"
column of S. <. Kiser, the hu-
morist and poet, is one of the
brightest things in American
journalism. The ''Vest Pocket
Essays" of George Fitch, printed

gems of refined wit and humor.
Each one is as good as circus.
And there is always smile or a
good laugh in Ralph Wilder's car

In The Sunday Record Herald
the colored comic section is full of
laughter for young and old, and
