in August, and weighing l.755 and
1856 pounds. The animals arrived

happiest boy in Hand county. They
are as fine a pair of draft mares as
can be seer in the west, and as Mr.
Scott says, cost as much as a quarter
Of land. MIR Scott and son now have
a trio of registered Belgians, and we

Ninty Millions On Deposit

Pierre, S. d., Dec. 20.-Special:
Over ninety million dollars is shown
to be the deposits of the people OF
South Dakota in the state and ma
tional banks at the time of the call
October 81 of this year. This is an
increase of nine and a half million
dollars from the deposits shown at
the time of the November call OF
1912, and an increase of practically
seven and a half million dollars since
the call in August of this year. The
increases are remarkable from the
fact that a large part of the state
had to contend with short crops for
the past year. but the bank deposits
continue to grow regardless OF that
fact.

IMPROVE BREED
OF POULTRY
Purpose of the Coming Poultry
Show at Miller

AS VIC ride out across the country
passing farm after farm. seeing
thousands Of chickens of every shape
and color. of no designated variety,
running at will over the pastures
and fields. enjoying perfect freedom
and showing such wonderful size
and vitality, we a to ourselves
will the owners of these birds ever
know the value of a pure bred flock?
They do not seem to grasp the fact
that the hen which is bred for egg
production and who is capable OF
reproducing herself does not re-
quire any more food than the mon
grel. These men do not stop to
think of the millions of dollars
which are annually paid for good
standard bred poultry? Nor do
they realize that the great majority
Of this amount is paid to the eastern
fancier who is compelled to utilize
every inch Of land he wi to make
room for the birds he must produce
to supply the demand, and who
looks upon our western farmers with
no small bit of envy. realizing that
here is the vast region where a sim
gle county is as big as some OF the
New England states and the average
farm would make one of their coun-
ties, it is almost a sin to grow the
common mongrel.
Here too we have every advantage
| of a lower cost of feed. IL is being
proven that the commercial poultry
plant in the central west can ship to
the eastern markets and solely on
account Of the many advantages of
production reaps a greater profit
than the plant located nearer the
market center.
The poultry industry is no longer
looked upon as only a side line of
the farmers wives. 1t is now recog
nized as a business in which multi,
piled millions are invested. viii i,
ever be overdone? Not in this gen,
Grafton or the one to follow, IL
fact the day will never come wher
good birds will not find ready sale
at fancy prices. The trouble IL, the
quality we want is not produced IN
sufficient quantity and too many
poor birds are used for breeders
When a breeder produces the quail
ity and breaks the news to the poul
cry world he has no trouble d'spos
ing of all nc has at profit making
prices. and when the farmers awaken
to realize the value of good pure
bred hens there will be even /;
greater demand for the superior
quality than there is TODAY.

Yesterday there was meeting held
in Denver which was attended by all
the county judges of the state who
could be present and also by the
judiciary committees Of the senate

object was to discuss aud put into
shape some much needed legislation
affecting the bench aud bar. also TO
consider the matter OF the formation
of a new judicial district composed Of
the counties OF Baca, Bent, Prowers.

the nominees have always been from

have been credited to the whole valley

proposed to stop this unjust practice
and give the eastern end OF the valley
a show for its white alley. Judge g.
F. Patrick OF this city Is chairman Of

More Government by Courts

The supreme courts recent opinion
that the legislature has the power to
kill acts passed by the people under
the Initiative and referendum amend
ments and the further power to pre-
vent q legislative act from being
referred to the people Is regarded by
leading attorneys OF the state as
liable to cripple the workings Of the
Initiative and referend um and to call
for a strengthening of the amend
ments Involved.
1.-THE decision was to be expected" /"
said E. P. Costigan. "In order to
have guarded against such a ruling IL
would have been necessary to incpor.
ate in the Initiative and referendum
amendment to the constitution a pro-
vision that the legislature might not
repeal or amend law enacted by the
people.
"The original idea OF the initistive
and referendum amendments was
that the people should supplement
rather than supplant the work Of the
legislature.
1T was thought at that time that
provision preventing the legislature
from repeating a law passed by the
people might not carry aud that II

tatOrs ceased as he stepped into the
batter's box and faced Big Ed Walsh
squarely-all save those from the
Chicago section of the grandstand.
There were cries of Back to the
busiest" Strike him out, Ed"
Make the $4,000 beauty look like
so cents!"-and so on.
II Gordon heard these remarks, he
gave no indication of it. He stood
squarely at the plate, waiting for the
great Walsh to pitch to him.
This is easy money, Ed" said
Schalk, as he stopped to give the
sign to his pitcher.
Walsh made no answer, but, sweep
ing his eye around the bases and over
the outfeld, he took his position on
the rubber, moistened the first two
fingers Of his right hand behind his
glove, wound up and hurled the ball
with all his force toward the plate.

Ed Walsh himself ever knew.

Taking one stride forward, Gordon
swung his bat against the ball and
drove it on a line past the short
stops head and out into left field
Bodie saw a streak coming toward
him. He spread himself out like an
adjustable hatrack and put down his
hands. The ball shot through them
like a knife through boarding house
butter bounded against the left field

With the speed of a greyhound, and
to the accompaniment OF a bedlam

base, second base, third base, caught
up with Cady before that player
reached home, and dashed across the
plate with the fourth run two seconds
ahead Of the ball.
Gordon Kelly had won the game for
the Red Sox and broken the triple
