The Price of Food

There seems to be no legitimate
cause why the cosG of provisions
should rise out of all proportions at
this time in America. Prices are
forced up due to speculation and
illegal profit making rather than
from natural causes.
President Wilson has called upon
the department of justice for an in
vestigation to releave a situation
which he believes to be unnecessary
at this time.
War is naturally associated with
the high prices but the United
States is not at war, neither are we
exporting our products in huge
quantities as yet to the waring ma.
tons IN Europe.

.Artesian Wells i'm South Dakota1

The following extract on ~artesian
wells, perhaps the most common
supply of water throughout South
Dakota. is taken from the Scientific
American Weekly, published in an
eastern city:
East of the Missouri river in South
Dakota, it is estimated. more than
n thousand a~rtesian wells now
exist, drawing their water from the
supply carried by the underlying
sandstone formation. and supposed
to come from the Black Hills and
the Rocky Mountains. These wells,
used mainly for irrigation purposes,
are from 500 to 1000 feet deep, and
the pressure of water in the eastern
part of the state is sufficient to give
a surface flow, except on the high
est lands One well yields 1892 gall
Ions per minute, and furnishes power
for a -four mill by day and for an
electric light plant by night. The
development of this source Of water
supply is still going forward.

Grain Yields

Grain is coming in slowly at the
elevators. and the grain men expect
several days to elapse before the
real busy hauling begins. There are
several threshing machines in the
county. but in many cases the stack
ed grain is not ready to thresh.
Added to this is the fact that the
harvest in South Hand is one to two
weeks later than North Hand.

STORE ROBBERY
MONDAY NIGHT
Johnson Store Broken Into And
$40 Taken

When Clerk Carr opened up the
Johnson store Tuesday morning for
the days business. he was surprised
to find the back doors open. A
search quickly disclosed the fact that
a side window had been broken open.
the window raised and egress was
easily made.
The robbers found about sos in
checks taken in by the store, and Sl4
in cash.
At the time this is written they
had evidently made clean getaway,
as no clues were found to trace them.

The War and it's Possibilities

The greatest war in the worlds
history, so called, is a big mystery.
Despite cables, wireless t~elegraphy,
etc, there is very little real news to
be had.
The reason for this is given in the
statement that all war news, or
practically all Of it, must pass
through London, where II is censored
to suit the British war department.
Under these circumstances daily
newspapers must be content with
just a smattering detail here and
there, which is often repeated, and
served up slightly different.
At this distance it looks like a
scramble to get into the game and
grab some territory from some one.
Hence it is almost certain that the
end of this war will see a change in
the map of the world.
As to what that change will be,
who will grab this or that, or who
will be the most successful in this
war game, no man can tell, and per-
haps n surmise is as good as an
other,
All the censored news received so
far appears to have one end in view,
viz: to prejudice the neutral world
against Germany. Whether Ger
many deserves this or not IS a de-
batable question. But the fact re-
mains. And in some wav-whether
through the promise or hope Of
gratifying greed. or a band wagon
sentiment to be with the supposed
winners. or a belief IN their righteous
cause. is not yet apparent-but many
smaller powers appear to join Eng
land. France and Russia against
Germany and Austrian fact or
sentiment, However. all Americans
should be neutral and fair, as Presi-
dent Wilson advises, which is both
common sense and decency.
That Germany and Austria can
and will put up a desperate fight all
the expert war people admit. If
these two compact, well fortified
countries. with their wonderful
equipment of trained men and arms,
stay we'll within their own territory,
close to their base of supplies, and
compel the allies to bring the war
to them, 1t will be a very difficult. if
not impossible, feat to conquer them
The mere sentiment of the world
will not lick Germany. 1t will take
perhaps the hardest fighting known
to modern warfare, and the world
holds its breath, awaiting this titan
tic struggle.
When it is finished there may be a
new map of Europe. with less mon.
arches and more republics.

JAPAN TAKES STAND
AGAINST GERMANY
Demands That Kaiser Gets Out of China
and Give up Possessions There.

A late feature of the big war. is
an ultlmatum from Japan to Ger.
many, for removal of the l~attter's
war ships in Chinese waters. and
abandonment of her possession of a
Chinese port. 1t is expected, of
course, that Germany cannot accept
this demand, and that Japan will
declare war against Germany. Japan
evidently wants Germany's posses
sions in China. and thinks this is g
good time to go after them. The
ultimatum sets August 23rd as the
time Of compliance.

SUFFRAGE COLUMN
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
Can Women Be Independent?

Gan women BE independent?
We read everywhere that women
are struggling for independence.
independence! Think what the word
means! No one is independent of
another. We are all members of one
body, and our lives and happiness
are all threads in the same great
woven pattern of life. Women are
not struggling for independence,
they r struggling for freedom; and
they are struggling for freedom not
for themselves, but for the race.
Brave, generous. high.spirited, noble
men can be sons only of brave. gerl-
erous. high-spirited and noble wo-
men. No enslaved woman, no wo-
man deprived of the sense of power,
freedom and responsibility, will give
the world its great men. So be sure
that this demand of women is not a
seX-war-that were an ignoble thing.
1t is a race-war. 1t is the fight for
a nobler world and higher human
beings and finer characters. And
toward this end all women must
bend their energies until we are on
the road to perfection. Come; let
us bear a race of pure, high-mInded,
brave hearted men and women and
do away with all this talk of sex. war.

ten in the lower part of his right leg

ly above the incisiOn of the fangs to
stop the circulation and brought
him to town for treatment. He was

be far In excess of the returns from
beef cattle IN the old range days.
