The above credits give little idea
of the general excellence Of papers
as they are written intelligently, and
show that Miss Ford is fine teacher
of penmanship and has kept them up
In current events. Miss Ford has a
concise, clear style OF expressing her
knowledge, hence her pupils get
clear ideas and learn to express
thought and knowledge clearly and

NO HOPE FOR OTHER
MEMBERS OF FAMILY
THAT ATE RAW PORK
Three More Deaths to Follow Ig
Verdict of Doctors-Three
Have So Far Died.

Sioux Falls. S. D. Dec, 1e.-That
there practically is no hope for he
recovery of the remaining members of
the John Wet family, living % miles
southwest of Sioux Falls, who are af-
fected with trichinosis, is the report
brought to Sioux Falls by physicians
who have just returned from the scene
Of the terrible affliction. The trichinos-
ts resulted from members of the fam
lily eating sausage which had not been
cooked.
Thus far Wet, the head OF the family,
and two daughters, Grace and Rose,
have died. Two other daughters,
Filda, aged 10. and her 8~-year-old sis
ter, and Peter Wet, aged is, are the
remaining members of the family who
are declared to be doomed.
While neighbors believe that the son,
Peter, is showing Improvement, the
physicians expect he will be the first
Of the remaining three succumb.
The boy has made a hard fight for
life from the beginning and only his
strength of will kept him from his bed
until about two weeks age, when his
energy became exhausted.
III fact that the mother is an in
valid, and that John Wet, the Oldest
son, was away from home, and the
youngest child, aged two months, was
too young to partake Of the sausage
saved the Wet family from being an
initiated.

CONTINGENT SYSTEM
GRILLED IN REPORT
BY STATE AUDITOR
Special Attention Also Called to
Increased Cost of State
Government.

Pierre. s.. D., Dec. 2O.-In the annual
report of State Auditor Anderson. just
received from the printer, there are
traces OF political effort. The state
auditor. apparently. is trying to make a
case against recent administrations,
when he knows full well that the state
legislature alone is responsible for
these increases. Members from the
different institution towns. are con
stantly pulling and hauling for larger
appropriation and special appropria-
lions, n they lave managed to effect
combinations enabling them to "get
by"
In n preface to his itemized report
auditor Anderson states hi the gen.
eral FUND expenditures for state de-
partments and institutions for 1913
were sl,7O5,210.33. being an Increase OF
s426.4l9.44 over 1912. approximately So
per cent. He also states thai the ex-
pense showing for 1918 is an increase
OF ~ per cent yer 1906.
Much Of the special Significance In
this showing is minimized by refer
ence to the county expense showing in
tne same volume. these county dis
pursenents having no reference to state
hlla1rs. Comparing the total county
expenses OF 1906. the year of the low
water mark in state expenses, with the
total county expenses of 1918. it ia
found that there has been an increase
or from SS,114. S49.22 to s15.7175S3.5 SO.
ABOUT the same percentage as the in
crease in state
NO one holding a state office at
Pierre. from the governor down. has
the power to appropriate a single dol
lar Oh state money. There are just two
sources of responsibility for the large
lncreases-the county boards on count
atIairs and the state legislature on state
aIfairs. ANY revolutionary feelings on
these subjects should be directed along
the right lines.
Audito Anderson. in his preface. also
touches up" the question of permit
ting some of the fee departments to
nave unrestricted access to contingent
funds. He says:
In my last report I that
money and fees collected by all Offices
or departments be placed In the general
fund, and that sufficient amounts be ap-
prnPrlated from the general fund to prop
eriy support and maintain each office, de-
and institute of the state.

some EVEN THRIVE FROM
INDUSTRY OF SQUIRRELS

Pierre, s.. D., Dec. Estate Game
Warden Hedrick has filed with the gov
ernor the fourth annual report of that
department. ending with June 80. 1918.
He reports receipts of $47,759.31, of
which S16,o34.S1 was license money.
The disbursements showed warrants
Issued to the extent Of $4,968.13, and
cash on hand June 80, 1918, OF $42, 773.1S.
In the report the game warden informs
the governor that the decrease in deer
in this state is very alarming, and at
tributes the condition to depredations
Of wolves on the young stock. He
urges that more land be devoted by
the state to large game, such as deer.
He recommends some particular sec
lions in the Black Hills which will
never be used for other purposes. It
is announced hat elk are entirely ex-
tinct in this state, and there are rec
concentrations hat some be imported.
The squirrels are not decreasing, but
the game warden recommends that
they be given more protection han
they have at present, because they
furnish a living to many persons in
the Black Hills, who sell the pine cones
which the squirrels have gathered and
stored UP. These cones are supplied
to the government at good prices, and
the industry OF the squarrels makes
an easy method OF securing them.

Farmers came in from all the SUR
counties to listen to the adj
dresses given by DR.. Miles of the ma
tlonai bureau of animal industry, DIR.
L1pp, of Brookings agricultural coll
lege, and DR.. Smith, also of the govern
fnent bureau of animal industry. For
an hour DR.. Miles discussed the hog
cholera question and surprised his
listeners by the statement that hog
cholera could not possibly originate
from n ~unsanitary conditions, nor
from feeding of corn, when the pop
ular idea has been that when these
conditions prevailed cholera was liable
to strike in on q herd of hogs. The last
hour of the meeting was devoted to
asking questions concerning condi-
lions which prevailed in various parts
Of the state, with the idea of getting
information how to overcome the di-
sease.
DR.. Miles suggested that farmers
should be very careful in not permit
ting neighbors with hog cholera on
their farms to go into their hog yard,
nor to allow a team or wagon to enter
the hog yard which had been in a yard
where hog cholera prevailed, on the
that the disease was conta-
gious in this way and the excreta could
easily be carried from one place to
