COLOMBIA TREATY IS
DEFENDED BY BRYAN
Secretary of State Says Sum
Offered Is No More Than
Is Justly Due.

Washington, July 14-Secretary Bry-
an issued a statement las night de-
Tending the proposed treaty to settle
differences between the United States
and Colombia over the separation of
Panama. The treaty has met vigorous
opposition in the Senate and former
President Roosevelt has attacked it as
a vehicle for the payment of black
mail"
Mr.. Bryan declared that it was neces-
sary to discuss only the fact that an
estrangement exists, and not the events
which ave rise to the differences and
that regardless of whether Colombia
has q just grievance against her more
powerful neighbour, no one would deny
that the former country sustained
great financial loss. considerably more
than the SIS, 000, 900 which the United
States would pay under the treaty,
through the separation of Panama. AS
to the expression of regret on the part
OF the American government to which
opponents of the pending convention

rotary said thS was almost identical
with a similar expression in the Du
Bose memorandum on the basis of
which the Taft administration unsuc-
cessfully tried to place at Colombia.
After reviewing the 13-year estrange-
ment between the two countries. the
statement continues:

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 13.-Harvesting
operations nave commenced in South Da-
kota, farmers in numerous localities now
being engaged in the work of harvesting
their rye, barley and oats crops, which,
under the influence of the warm weathe
of the past week, have opened very rap
idly. Right on the heels of the harvest
Ing of these crops will come the wheat
harvest, which is expected to be general
in about 10 days or two weeks.
Reports as to the character and volume
of the general crop raised in South Da-
kota this season continue to be of the
most encouraging character. In the state
at large all kinds Of small grain promises
to yield abundantly.
Corn continues to do well in all parts
of the state. Thu liberal rainfall of June
pushed the crop ahead very fast, and it
continues to be about 10 days or two weeks
further advanced han customary at this
period of the growing season. 1t is the
general expectation that South Dakota
will this year produce the largest corn
crop in it's history.

enne basin is making preparations for the
harvesting of the biggest crop that ever
was grown here. The rye harvest is in

promise a yield of 80 to So bushels per acre.

Rural Life Conference Speaker
Urges Norwegians to Keep
South Dakota Farms.

Bookings, S. D., July 13.-"There is
a weakness among the N~orweglans for
selling their farms when offered a fair
price and then seeking new land far
Their west or in Canada. If this pro-
ceduTe is kept up the Norwegian peo-
pie will be lost, as far as history and
traditions are concerned in this coun-
try. The foregoing statement was
made by President j. A. Aasgaard, of
Concordia college. Moorhead, Mimi,
before a meeting of Scandinavian
armer In the South Dakota country
HE conference at Brookings. He said
further:
The Norwegians at present are set
tllng in the very best part Of the
United States and they should rather
try to make it possible for their chill
dren to keep the land they have cleared
and the homes they have built under
such enormous sacrifices. The free
homestead represents something else
besides n free gift. 1t meant enormous
sacrifices both by men and ONE to
brlng about the culture n civilization
We have today in h northwest. A
lew dollars increase on an Investment
does not necessarily pay for the
amount of suffering and hardship that
rought our farming communities up
to their present standard"
AS a remedy President Aasgaard
recommended that I'VE should make
eIiolI 70 Keep tOSeiicI Tie
people of the same nationality who
have the anne traditions and history
and common interests. Where such
settlements are kept up, it is possible
for them to maintain their churches
and schools properly. Arrangements
should be made to encourage people of
the same nationality to buy the farms
Of such as wish to move, SO that the
community spirit can be kept up and
the best traditions and culture of Euro
pean nations finally handed down to
our common American civilization"

SAYS AUTO FUND SURPLUS
SHOULD BE SPENT ON ROADS

Pierre, S. D., July 15.-The surplus
in the automobile fund for the past
Year, amounting to $9,2S0.83, was
turned into the general fund by State
Secretary Glasner at the close of the
fiscal ear Secretary Glasner esti-
mates the surplus for next year at
about $4,000 and advances the follow
ing suggestion in regard to this fund:
The earnings of the automobile de-
partnlent for the next year will be
about S11, 600. This, added to the sur
plus for this year will be practically
100000, contributed solely by the auto-
mobile owners of the state. If this fund
We're to be appropriated for a state
highway across the state it would give
South Dakota one of the best state
roads in the union. Inasmuch as the
intent of the law licensing automobiles
was for good roads purposes, it seems
highly appropriate that the accumu-
lated funds should be used for good
roads purposes" Secretary Glasner
avs that in most of the counties of the
state the part of the fund which goes
directly for the use of county roads,
which is $5.25 out of the Sc collected
on each automobile, is being Indirectly
handled by the automobile associations.
