CROPS IN TIE STATE
STATE HISTORIAN ROBINSON
COMPLETES CROP ESTIMATE
FOR SOUTH DAKOTA,
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
from the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts of
the Sunshine State.

Plerfe.-Doane Robinson, superin-
iendent Of the department OF history,
mas completed his crop estimate and
agricultural statistics for the twelfth
annual review of the progress of
south Dakota, with the following to-
tails:
Wheat, 52,185,000 bushels. 1886, ,00S, 900
torn, 76,374,000 bushels. 2S,248,000
Barley, 23,062000 bushels. 9,6S6,O0O
Rye. $4,000 bushels ...... 10000
Cats, $4,000 bushels. 1908, 900
Flaxseed, 1928, 900 bushels. 6,Ot5,0OO
Potatoes, $4,000 bushels. 2,344,00O
other grains and seeds. 100000
These figures are taken from the
government crop estimate and incor-
Porated as a part of the summary of
the review, with total value of $780,
SCI 900 To this is added the estimate
VI the department on other products
Of the state, as follows:
Vegetables and fruits .....S 100000
Hay, 5,fo0,000 tons ...... 17,250,00O
Barry products .......... 100000
Poultry and Eggs ....... 100000
1--we stock ............... 51,025 900
Wool and hides ........ 1,00O,OOO
Minerals and stone ...... 100000
This gives total in addition to the
above figures of $95,676, 900 or a grand
total of all products Of 1892, 900
Approximating the total present pop
Iation of the state at 33,518, this will
make percapita production Of S3O3.
In accordance with long establish
ed custom the railroads operating in
the state have finished a detailed
statement of the actual amount of
product Of the state which they have
carried out of the state for the fiscal
year ending June 20, 1912:
Wheat, 12,929,000 bushels .$12 All 900
Corn, 9,053,000 bushels .. 1851, 900

Other seeds ..... 100000
Live Stock.
Aorses. 2S,262 900 pounds. S 1885, 900
cattle, 218,676,000 pounds. . 1853, 900
Hogs, 290, ,453, 900 pounds. . 19,750,000
Sheep, S2,055,000 pounds 49,. 4767,000
All other products (approxi-
mate) ............. 100000
Total, 1912 .........$ S0,3S5 900
Total. 1911 .......... 124,167, 900
The marketings shown for any one
year are from the products of the pre-
ceding year. so this decrease is due to
she failure of crops of 1911 on account
Of the drouth of that year, and there
is nothing on the crop of this year
just past in these estimates of ship
mentS.

TIE WITH POLICE IN HEART
OF CHICAGO.
SMASH JEWELERS. GLASS
Woman Faints in Arms Of Policeman
and Aids the Men to Escape
Officer is Shot and
Stabbed.

Chicago, Jan. S.-Four automobile
bandits smashed in jewelers. win
dow here and escaped with a tray
of diamonds, after a running revolver
fight with police, punctuated by spec
tacular features. Their escape was
aided by fashionably dressed worn-
an, who tainted in the arms Of a uni
formed policeman as he was drawing
his revolver. AS soon as the theieves
were out of sight the woman recover
ed and disappeared.
Arrested for Speeding.
A few minutes later the bandits
car was boarded by a policeman, who
ordered them to drive to a police sta
ton for speeding. They wheeled into
a quiet street, with the policeman and
there shot, stabbed and slugged him
and threw him off the car.
The men abandoned their automo-
bile which had been stolen just before
the robbery and disappeared in
crowded section Of the West Side.
Thrilling Fight
The raid and running fight was one
Of the most thrilling of the automO-
bile bandit outrages in the recent pre-
valence of this type Of crime in this
city.
The thieves stole the car from in
front of a downtown business build
ing late in the afternoon. A short
time later passers in front of a Clark
street jewelry store were startled by
the crash of glass. Two men were
beating in the show window with
bricks They seized tray of rings
and leaped to the running board of
an automobile that was moving slowly
by the curb.

reaching for his revolver, but at that
moment a woman with a large feath-
cred hat gave a shrek and threw her
self into his arms. Hanson could not
draw his weapon, but two policemen
in plain clothes who were passing,
opened fire on the thieves. The ban
dts returned the fire as they climbed
into the car, and one Of the thieves
was seen to fall into a seat and is
thought to have been wounded.
Twenty shots were exchanged as the
machine gathered speed The chauf-
feur manipulated his exhaust so that
it poured out cloud Of smoke which
aided in the escape. The plain clothes
policemen ran after the car and at
the next corner commandeered a pass
ing high powered automobile and or
dered its chauffeur to pursue the
thieves who, however, had 50 good a

NO SLEEP IN 20 YEARS.
Harvard Professor Gets His
Rest in the Twilight State"
3OStOn Dispatch, 17th.

Boston Dispatch, 18th.
A Harvard professor who has
not slept for 20 years but has
taken his rest in the twilight
state" is the subject of investi-
cation by the psychological
laboratory of the university and
the state psychopathic hospital.
The twilight state" in which
the subject retains conscious
ness is declared to be a scientific
relaxation more satisfying than
sleep, restoring the bodily vigor
in about half the time required
by sleep.
The identity of the Harvard
professor is kept secret. Prof.
Hugo Munstereberg, director of
the psychological laboratory at
Harvard, who is personal
friend of the sleepless educator,
has made a close study of his
case. Professor Munstereberg
said his experience showed that
it is scientifically possible to
sleep without complete loss of
consciousness.
To assist in experiments at
the state p& 2hopathic hospital
on the twilight tate" a special
easy chair has been construct
ed. 1t is described as a device
to aid subjects to relax.

ROAD MAINTENANCE

Mr.. Logan w. Page, director
OF the national office of public
roads, makes a timely and
cogent plea that more adequate
measures be taken for the
maintenance of highways. Mil
lions of dollars are being spent
for the development and extern
sion of roads, but the problem
OF their upkeep from season to
season and year to year is sore
ly neglected. Such a policy is
short-sighted and extravagant;
for, 1T is just as important ITO
conserve the highways that are
already in use as it is to con-
struct new ones.
In many parts of the country,
as Mr.. Page declares, the peo-
pie are enthusiastic for road
Improvement and are voting
liberal bond issues for this pur-
pose, but with a few excep-
tlons they are making no pro-
vision to care for the roads af-
ter they are built" Unless a
wiser course is adopted, the
public will fail to realize in
years to come their due return
upon the money they are now
investing.
AS Mr.. Page points out, it re-
qulres a considerable annual
outlay to keep roads in prime
condition month in and month
out but, he adds, this outlay is
infinitely less than the loss
which must fall upon the peo-
pie eventually, if they allow
their roads to go to ruin" A
lew dollars spent in opportune
repairs will save hundreds and
perhaps, thousands for the fu-
ture.
States and counties that are
appropriating road funds or
voting bond issues in this great
enterprise heed the directors
counsel and make definite pro-
vision for the cost of road main
tenance. The task of keeping
up highways is humber I'D less
inspiring than that CI building
them; the former takes on the
character of a popular crusade
and easily arouses the commu-
nlty's interest; the latter calls
Tor sober, persistent care and
for sufficient money, but it is
essentially important.
In some counties and districts
OF Georgia, good roads associa-
tions have been organized and
are doing effective work in this
very particular. Individual citi-
zens assume the duties of a road
inspector for their immediate
neighborhood and whenever
they note break or washout.
they report it to the central or
ganlzation and Immediately the
needed repairs are made. Some
such system as this should be
adopted by the state or county
and, when the federal aid good
roads bill passes Congress-, as it
doubtless will, similar method
should be followed by the ma
tional authorities.
In France, every mile of pub
lie highway is under the con-
tinuous inspection of a govern
ment patrolman; and to that
precaution is due very largely
the fact that France has one of
the most nearly perfect high
way systems in all the world
