tainty regarding his fate.
Lake Prior has been dragged and
the surrounding country given a
thorough search, but without results.
The officials however, have not ceas-
ed their efforts to find him and a re-
ward has been offered for informa-

s inches high, and weighs about 145
pounds. His complexion is dark, hair
black, eyes green-gray, and was

FAMOUS INDIAN IS
DEAD AT PINE RIDGE

Pine Ridge Agency, S. Dat his
home on this reservation occurred the
death of Yellow Bear, for many years
one of the most prominent members
of the Sioux nation and a chief of a
great deal of distinction. He was n
of the head men among the young
warriors during the stirring days
when Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
were the rulers of the Sioux nation.
In later years yellow Bear served as
a government scout and after aband-
oning the warpath always was a true
friend of the whites and was trusted
to the utmost by government officials
and other white men with whom he
came in contact. At the time of his
death he was titular chief of a large
Indian settlement in western Bennett
county. He always took great interest
in affairs pertaining to civilization
and did much to encourage his breth-
rem to adopt the mode of living of the
whites. One of his last acts, only a
! short time before his death. was to
call his people about him and advise
them to continue in the path OF pro-
gress. yellow Bear had reached the
age of 10.

MOVES TO GIVE
STATE RATES
ASKS DIS.
MISSAL OF INJUNCTION SUIT
AGAINST 2h-CENT PAS
SENGER FARE in SOUTH
DAKOTA.

Pierre, S. D.-The encouragement
al has moved for the dissolution of
the injunction against the South Da-
kota 2lla cent passenger rate act,
which was secured at the time the act
was passed at the 1907 session of the
legislature, and the motion will come
up for argument in the United States
court, before Judge Willard at Sioux
Falls on the 25th of September. The
referee in the South Dakota case,
Judge Gates, found for the state in
its contention that a passenger rate
of 2R cents per mile would not be
c~onfiscatory, and with the decision
of the United States supreme court,
in which it reversed a ruling of the
referee in the Minnesota case, hold
ing the opposite from the South Da-
llota holding, the state legal depart
meIt will ask for not only the put
ting into effect of the 2R cent rate,
but at the same time take the posi-
ton that the roads have failed to
make a showing that the 2-cent rate
of the law of 1909 is such that they
cannot work under it in this state. If
the injunction is dissolved, the 2h
cent rate will be in effect, with a pos
sibility under the later act to secure
even a lower rate.

Better in Wheat.
The final figures on the spring
wheat crop, as given by the govern
ment IN Sept. 1. make a better show
ing for South Dakota by far than the
early reports. The total yields by
states for this year and last year,
show that South Dakota produced in
1918, rs per cent as much spring
wheat as In 1912, while North Dakota
produced only IS per cent as much.
And North Dakota is, the great spring
wheat state OF the country. Last year
witnessed the biggest spring wheat
production in the two Dakotas on
record, SO that the comparative show
ing this year Is not at all poor, as
compared with the average. For ex-
ample, the average total production
of spring wheat in South Dakota for
the four years from 1909 to 1912
inclusive, was approximately 39,5OO,-
600 bushels. Therefore this years
total of 3~8.120,060 bushels, will be
been to be almost up to the average
for this state.

total production OF spring wheat In
the two Dakotas and Minnesota for
this year and last year:

The present day craze for free ex-
ploitation among stage folk that their
revenues may be increased is in many
cases a cause for the multiple divorces
and remarriageS among them. Tie
same has applied in many cases to
concert and operatic stars, although
it is safe to state that there is far
less matrimonial dissension here than
in the dramatic field.
A splendid example of happy family
life is afforded in the case of Evan

very much disappointed in the char
acteristics of both ''Mr. Williams and

Evan Williams early had desire
that could not be put down, to rise
above the mediocre in the realm of
song. He buried himself from the
public for seven years and studied and
endured priyations unknown to even
his best friends.
Evan Williams is known and loved
by every newsboy in Akron, Ohio, his
native city, and he isequally respected
by the dwellers in mansions and the
captains of industry.
He has wife who adores him,
who looks well to the ways of her
household and who has been the
guiding star in all the dark places of
his life.
There are four children in the
Williams family three sons and one
daughter, and all are musical. One
Ison has just graduated from the
University of Michigan, and his son
Thomas Nernon, who will act as ac-
Icompanist on the tour this season,
has just graduated from Oberlin Con-
servatory of Music. Evan Williams
is very wealthy man and in posi-
ton to educate his children proficient
ly in their chosen lines of work.
His little daughter, Gwendolyn, is

SCHOOL HYGIENE.

Ventilation of most school houses
is VIGOROUSLY bad To meet this,
school boards have frequently in
stalled costly systems of mechanical
ventilation. Unfortunately, these
systems have seldom accomplished
what was hoped for. Indeed, they
often make conditions worse, because
the janitor and teachers have a ma
chine substituted for brains. A
recent study by yentilating engineers
has shown that quite as good or bad
results can be obtained by one system
as another Nearly all schools are too
warm. Every teacher should be re-
quired to keep the air in her school
room both fresh and cool. So-called
automatic ventilating and heating
systems are not automatic. They
need to be carefully supervised. OBJ
servations should be made primarily,
however in the schoolrooms and not
in the basement.
Many a half-blind child has been
judged to be stupid because he fails
to see what others see. The child
with defective hearing may be con-
sidered dull because he doesn' readily
grasp what the teacher or others say
to him. Obstruction in the nasal
tract actually makes the child mental
~ backward. A physician recently
said that it was not until his eyesight
was corrected by glasses when he was
a young man, that he realized how
much normal people were able to see.
Spargo relates an incident Of a child
who was a vicious child because she
felt that she was being nagged by
the teacher and ridiculed by the chill
dren for her answers. She was alb
solutely certain that her answers
were correct. Finally she was ex
PEELED from school as an incorrigible
child. Spargo studied her case thor
oughly. The child's earnest and con-
tident misleading of figures on a
blackboard led to her being sent to an
oculist. Eyeglasses corrected her
vision. and she became more than an
ordinarily intelligent and loyable
child. This instance is being repeated
in part, at least, in every school dis
trict.
