DIARY OF FATHER TIME

French aviators claim that they
have not full liberties of the air, be-
ing restricted by certain rules and
regulations. This same complaint
was made many years ago by one
of the first aeronauts in France, al
though for a different reason. Just
before one of his trips the balloonist
issued letter reading as follows:
Citizen administrators: have
the honor to impaTt to you that l
have the intention of undertaking a
long aerial journey in order to make
some useful scientific observations.
AS it is possible that the wind may
cause me to cross the frontier of the

my intention is not to emigrate and
abandon my country, for which l
fought and suffered a long captivity
among its enemies. l pray you to
give me an act of declaration that
may serve me as a passport"

Iona Agitation to Succeed.

Pierre.-Judge Fl. G.. Barlow, who
has been boosting his Great Plains
Irrigation association" for the past
year in season and out of season, is
beginning to gradually show the eff
fects of his persistence. About a year
ago he began the agitation of the plan
of taking flood waters from the Mis-
souri, river at about the mouth of the
Yellowstone and bringing it across the
country to a point on White river near
the mouth of the stream. 1t was a big
plan, and has been looked upon as the
plan Of a visionary, but the visionary
theorist has kept pegging away and
is securing more and more encour-
agement in his preliminary organiza-
ton which has for its purpose the
making of surveys and gathering the
material to show that,sthe scheme is
not only, practical, but feasible from
an engineering and financial stand
point. He is continually holding meet
ings at different points which might
gaining him recruits at that point,
who were not in harmony with the
project a year ago, because they did
not feel that it was a plan which
would work. His plan is a big one,
and if he a carry it out, or secure
chinery' for it's carrying out, he will
help to revolutionize the western part
Of South Dakota.

ECZEMA IN RED BL0TCHEs

205 Kanter Ave-, Detroit. Mich
Some time last summer I was taken
with eczema. 1t began in my hair
first with red blotches, then sca1y,
spreading to my face. The blotches
were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they YER
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full Of
shot about one-sixteenth Of an inch
under the skin. Then they went to
the outside and between and all over
my fingers. 1t also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves of my
legs, and itch. oh, my! I never had
anything like it and hope I never will
again. The itching was terrible. My
hands got SO I could scarcely work.
II tried different eczema ointments
but without results. I also took medi-
cine for it but 1t did no good. I saw

Second inquiry Under Way,

Pierre.-While the investigation
committee in regard to the affairs of
state departments is yet working, the
main point of interest developed when
the committee was appointed to in
vestigste the charges made on the
floor Of the house by Representative
Granger that II. G.. Shober. with W.
A. Farmer as his representative, had
agreed to u a repeal of the law
requiring statements, for which they
were to receive a contingent fee equal
to one years savings TO the compa-
MES, or about $4,000. BY a coinci-
dence the insurance committee of
both houses and one member intro
duced bills at about the same time for
this purpose and the charge coming
as it did was a cause Of indignation to
the members of the two committees,
and they took it as a reflection upon
themselves and demanded an investi-
cation. Among the principal witnesses
before the committee were G. j. Nc
Leod, of the Aberdeen News, and c..
NJ. Day of the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader, who came with a number OF
letters to different companies from
the parties interested soliciting their
entering into such agreement, with
a provision of no pay unless they
could deliver. Representative Granger
bases his statements on these letters,
but it is not charged that any of the
members of the committee were a
party to the deal.
Move Against Richards Law.
The first serious effort to repeal the
initiated Richards primary law came
upon the floor of the senate with the
supporters of the bill in no way spar
ing in the criticism of that law, in
which they charged that it would be
utterly impossible to work under 1t.
Richards was an interested spectator
in the senate gallery and was pleased
at the result when the roll call showed
but seven votes in favor of the bill.
Senator Russell, who introduced the
first resolution of the session for an
investigation of the affairs of the diff
ferent departments OF the state in re-
gard to expenditures, which was de-

started something else in the after
noon. It was common talk that a mes
sage would come in asking that the
committee be continued after the ses-
sion and an appropriation asked for
that purpose. Russell saw an oppor-
tunity to get in his resolution first,
Norbeck was in the game himself and
opposed the Russell resolution, and
after a contest it went over until the
day.

Printing Report Completed.

Pierre.-The printing Investigation
committee has prepared a report
which will have as it's principal fea-
lures a general condemnation Of the
printing laws of the state, with a rec
ommendation of a new law based on
the Nebraska act.
They condemn laXness on the part
of the state printing commission in
the way of it's management of affairs,
in letting contracts, lack of attention
to business, and their selection of a
son of one of the printing contractors
as state printer.
They condemn certain contracts as
excessive, especially the legislative
hand book, the blue book, the publici-
ty pamphlet and the binding of public
documents.
They are not ready to declare for
a state printing plant, declaring that
they have not the necessary informa-
ton to pass upon that proposition.
The matter of no~n-contract printing
is touched upon and specified charges
of excessive charges for such work is
made.

No Danger of MoistureIess Year Now.
Mitchell.-The teal hat South Da-
kota would have a m~oistureless spring
this year was dissipated Friday with
the heaviest fall of snow of the win
ter season, in fact in this section Of
the state there has not been to exceed
an inch and a half of snow. A light
snow began falling during the night
and fell continuously all day long.
Very little wind accompanied the
snow and the greater proportion Of it
settled where it fell. Farmers in
from the country state hat the fields
are well covered, and that with the
heavy snowfall the ground will be in
fine shape for spring seeding. Fully
six inches of snow fell during the six
teen hours Of the storm. 1t is be-
lieved the snowfall will be good for
more than a half inch of precipitation.
Up to the present time the moisture
has been exceedingly scarce since the
early part of October, and with no
clearing of the atmosphere much sick
ness has resulted.

May Be Increases.

These figures are likely to be in
creased in the way of an addition of
$4,000 for expenses of supreme court
judges, left out of the bill, and an
increase in maintenance at the school
for the blind at Gary, which is very
likely to be materially increased
through the workings of the law en-
acted at this session for compulsory
education for these people.
A strong effort, will be made to get
this bill out of the way before the end
of the present week, and have the
last week clear for other legislation
which cannot be tied up with the gen
eral bill in case it is yet before the
houses for action.
The special appropriations asked
from the session so far run into more
than a million dollars, and some of
them have already been bumped"
with others more likely to receive
such a fate than turning over. the cash
to the different institutions and in
dividuals who think they not only
need it in their business but want it
very badly.

NOVEL CURE FOR
BAD CHECKS FOUND

Arthur Greenwood, the proprietor OF
Greenwood S cafe, has discovered a novel
way of getting the bad checks passed on
him paid up The usual method when
one has bad check, is to report the mat
ter to the police. Not so, however, with
Arthur Greenwood. Whenever a check
comes back from the bank marked "No
good" he has discovered a way to have
that check paid,
The method of Mr. Greenwood is to take
the check and give it the widest publicity.
That is, he places the check under the
top glass in his cigar case, under the cap
ton, This check vas passed on us, but
the bank says it's no good" According
to MIR Greenwood, every one who comes
to his restaurant has to pay at the cigar
counter and cannot help put see the eek
hjbits" of bad faith. Mr.. Greenwool
states that this method of advertising ris
had checks is fruitful of results, as the
ones who passed the checks soon hear of
the exhibit and hasten to pay up. THAT,
according to Mr.. Greenwood, lis better
than to have them arrested and put in
iail and then never get the money"
