A TOUR OF INSPECTION


Prof. N. E. Hansen of the State Ag-
ricultnral college, was in Pierre Mon
day and went out to the Hurlbut farm
ten miles north to complete arrange
ments for extending the work of spread
ing upland alfalfa. Several acres of
the yellow flower and hybrid species
were sown on that farm last year and
the seed secured last fall, which with
additions from the seed secured by
Prof. Hansen in his recent Siberian
trip, will be used to put in forty acres
on that farm the coming season. An
other trip will be made later on to the
Jeffries ranch, near Sansarc, Stanley
county, where the trial work will be
extended.
Prof. Hansen announces his intention
of pushing the lines he has been work
ing on for several years in the develop.
ment of the Siberian high land alfalfa
and feels that he is on the right path
toward developing the western part Of
the state with the new specles of alfal-
ia as we'll as that which has been prov
en- success by trials on fields to which
it is adapted.

MOURNED AS DEAD, SPENDS
CHRISTMAS AT HOME

Chicago, Dec. .25.-Instead of sitting
down to a frugal meal and mourning
over the supposed death of his son,
Thomas Bilek was happy today and
invited his nelghbors to help him
celebrate Christmas. The father took
from the front window of his home q
funeral wreath tied with lavender
ribbon and hung in its place a holly
wreath tied with "a red bow.
The change in his plans was caused
by tae sudden appearance of his son,
whom he had meurned as dead for
seven months, and whose body he
thought was buried here.
The son was reported drowned last
May in the Missouri river at Pierre,
s. D., where he had been working for
the Northwestern railroad. A body
was recovered in July and was identi.
fed as that of John +. Bilek, the son.
The body was brought to Chicago and
a funeral held. Several days later
the father received $1,000 from the
railroad company for his sons death.
When the son returned home, the
family at first thought they beheld
his spirit. He convinced them. how
ever, that he was still alive, and told
of having visited railroad camps in
Montana.

STAGGERING FIGURES

Kansas City Star: Farm products are
estimated by the department of agri-
culture to be worth nine billion dollars
this year. Nine billion Nine thous-
and million. Do you get it? Of course
you don't. Nobody does.
We make feeble efforts to compre-
hend such sums by telling how many
times around the earth the dollars
would reach if they were placed side
by side, or how many miles high pile
of them would be, or how many train
loads Of stuff the products would make.
But none Of the imagines convey any
real meaning. The figures simply make
your head swim.
After figures get up to million they
lose their significance. The multi.
millionaire has mighty little idea how
much he is worth.

THE FIELD OF BUSINESS

The present indication is that the
transfer from 1913 to 1914 will be ef-
fected without the financial stringency
feared a few weeks ago. So far as
sentimental influences are concerned
the new year seems destined to open
with strong tendency toward opti-
mism.
Financial circles were pervaded
last week by better feeling than pre-
vailed. for months. 1t was due in
large part to the final enactment of
the new currency law in form gener-
ally approved by banking authorities.
An almost equally potent influence
for optimism in corporation quarters
was the amicable adjustment of the
differences between the department
of justice and the American Tele
phone and Telegraph company. The
presidents expression of confidence
that the time has come for friendly
cooperation between government and
big business also served a useful pur-
pose in stimulating confidence in the
future. There is a we'll defined. hope
among business men that following
the tariff and currency changes ra-
tional changes may be made in the
trust laws changes that will make
it easier for business to obey the law.
With this program completed, busi-
ness is hoping for rest from legisla-
tion affecting commercial interests.
There are indications that the admin
istration hopes run IN a similar direc-
ton, although there may be, OF
course, marked difference between
the respective views of what would
constitute rational settlement OF
the trust question. Sioux City Jour,

"a CONSTITUTION OF PEACE"

President Wilson'S brief address to
the audience that gathered to see him
sign the currency bill should 60 far
toward stimulating confidence the
business world over. Fine words may
butter no parsnips, but whom the
president of the United States speaks
the business men of the country not
only listen, but are reassured or dis
heartened according to the tone OF
his utterance.
It was note of reinsurance that
was struck by the President when he
made his comments upon the signing
of the currency bill. The tariff law,
as he put it, had cleared away the OBJ
stacles in the path Of Democracy,o
constructive program. Tho currency
bill was the first step in tho construc-
tive work that Is to be undertaken.
The busines world, the President
said, was gradually com ing to under
stand that the administration wanted
to be help, not hindrance, to hon.
est business.
Nothing that the President hes said
however, will have . more positive
effect on the minds of the business
men of the nation than his frank rec.
ognition of the self-evident fact that
no one class of persons in the United
States can be helped protitably at the
expense of another. Prosperity must
be encouraged generally IL 1t 10 to be
enjoyed by any class. The burdens
of the poor cannot be lightened BY
destroying the rich.

term applied by the President to the

reason for the changed attitude Of tho
bankers, however, is not hard to find.

as the guarantee of bank deposits and
the clauses that encouraged imitation,

1t had become evident that the nd
