Met And Dry Battle.

Lemmon.-The wet element OF Lem
mon is busily engaged procuring legal
counsel and starting a strenuous cam
paign to compel the county commits
sioners of Perkins county to grant
saloon licenses to the two applicants
chosen by popular vote Of the people
after the town had voted for license
by owe 100 majority. The fight will
be a bitter one, but the saloon ele-
ment feels confident of success.
When the saloon questions came up
the total vote on the subject was ap-
proximately $50, Of which the dry fac
ton received only seventy votes. Then
the question of selecting two out OF
the eight applicants was taken up by
a popular vote, the W successful men
receiving a good majority of the votes
cast. The town council granted the
l%icenes, but the county commissioners,
by = vote Of 3 to 2, turned down both
applicants without giving any salts
factory reason, and the fight is now on
to compel them TO grant licenses In
Lemon as they have in all other wet
portions of the county.

into effect-have shown a marked in
crease for the better, and where for

which saves handling all the slower.
The time OF harvesting varies like
that Of corn as to whether you wish
a grain or slower crop.
Threshing is generally done with a
common grain separator and the con-
caves are removed and the cylinder
is slowed down SO as to prevent
cracking the seed where it is to be
saved for seed grain. There are no
objections to cracking or crushing the
grain if 1t Is to be used for feeding
purposes. The yield varies from Is
to SIS bushels to the acre and it seems
that this could be easily improved
upon with intelligent handling and
careful selection.
The principal use Of milo on the
farm is for feeding purposes, as corn
is used. The two grains are nearly
identical in composition and milo is
nearly equal TO corn for feeding pur-
poses. Milo produces the best re-
suits when cracked or ground and fed
with some protein feed. 1t may be
fed as threshed grain, in the head or
in the bundle. When fed in the bun

cases of blind staggers" and other

such feed. The market for milo grain
is rapidly growing.
Milo like all sorghums sometimes
becomes poisonous thru the forma.

leaves, especially when the growth is
checked. The grain itself is never
poisonous. The principle insect en-.
emies of milo are the chinch bug

Texas the larvae of the sorghum

by asorbing the juices from the young
ovary SO that the grain never de

Price of Beer is GoinQ Up,

Aherdeen.-While Minneapolis and
Sioux Falls are worrying over a pros
pectivc advance in the price of milk,
one class Of A~berdonians have a real
grievance In the way of an increase
in the cost of living. For since the
Il to 600" license law went into eff
feet, reducing the number of saloons
in Aberdeen to Is, can rushers" COM
plain that the price of beer has ad-
vanced. They say where they used to
be able to buy a gallon Of beer for rs
or 80 cents, the price is now 40 cents
straight. Saloon men explain by say
ing that as beer costs So for a 32-gal-
Ion barrel, they lost money when they
sold it for less than 40 cents a gal
lon. but some saloon men used to
cater to the "can" trade by selling it
for less than that price. But since
saloon licenses We're increased from
5000 to $l,100 in the city, they no
longer afford to give reduced rates
on beer by the gallon, and the 40
cent rate is here for good.

NEW SYSTEM PROPOSED.

It will be some time before a new
president OF the state university at
VermilliOn is secured, the board of re-
gents has decided to inaugurate a
new system for the control and fhv-
ernment of the institution through
the commission plan. Owing to the
fact that the appointment of any one
member of the college faculty to a
temporary position as president
would lead to much friction, the board
of regents decided upon the commits
sion plan and named the five deans,
comprising the dean of the college OF
ing, dean of music, dean of the law
department and dean Of the college Of
medicine. These five men are to act
as a body meeting regularly each day
and acting upon all executive and adj
ministratiye affairs Of the institution,
which in the organization of the uni
verslty are now within the jurisdtc-
ton of the president. The majority
vote OF the deans shall be regarded as
the action OF the commission. One
of the deans shall act as chairman of
the commission for the period Of one
month, rotating in the order of their
seniority in relation to their election
to the position now held. ]. H. Julian,
secretary OF the university, will act
as the secretary of the commission
and make a full record of its actions.
The regents believe that it will be pos.
sible for the plan to work out III a
successful manner. and it may be con
tinued indefinitely.
