State Visited by Heavy Rains

The good soaking rains which
have fallen in this section during
the past week were general over the
entire state, and small grain is re.
ported in fine condition.
A gentle ram began falling Satur-
day night, which continued, with
the exception of a few hours until
Monday evening making close to 3
inches of rainfall. This, with the
two rains of last week, which
amounted to 1.l6 inches. puts the
ground IN the best early spring con-
dition of any year for the past four
years.
The usual amount of small grain
has been sown in this section and
the corr acreage will be increased
somewhat.

STATE HAS SMALL
NATIONAL DEBT
Two TenthS Per Cent of u. =
Debt Credited To South
Dakota

A bulletin forth coming from the
u. S. census bureau pertaining to
the national and state Indebtedness
contains the following interesting
figures in regard 70 South Dakota's
share of the national debt. This
gives South Dakota the distinction
of having the lowest debt per capita
of any state in the union.
In 1890 the total debt of Sorth
Dakota at the close of the fiscal
wear. June 80, was $S72. O0o;, in 1892
it was 81, It's, 900; in 1913 it had de-
cllned to 1870, 900. The population
of the state increased from $40, 900
in 1890 to GA. 900 in 1913, being
sufficient to reduce the already de.
Ginning per capita debt. In 1890
the per capita debt was 81 50; in
1892, following the fluctuations in
the total debt, it had advanced to
1920, reaching the maximum of
$4.o9 in 1895; subsequently declining
to $0.58 in 1913.
In contrast with the state of
South Dakota. we find that, taking
the entire debt Cess sinking fund as
sets) for the Is states, the per cap
tia debt, according to the latest re-
port, is 1882. or 81 81 more than
the per capita debt for South Dako-
ia in 1913. Comparing the decrease
in the per capita debt of South
Dakota and the Is states for the SO
year period, we find that So Is fell
to 1882 in the average for the 48
states and S. 50 to so So in South
Dakota.
AT the present time about @ z
per cent of the total population of
the u. S. will be found in the
state of South Dakota, and o.
per cent of the total debt (ess sink
ing-fund asSets) is attributed to
that state"

Washington. April 27-WAile the
attention of the American govern
mcnt for the most part today was
concentrated in restoring order at
Vera Cruz and eXpedlting the de,
parture of Americans from all parts
of Mexico, a watchful eve was train

Mexico and the United States for
signs OF hostility from the constItu-
tlonaIlsts.
There was no particular develop
ment to which the feeling of hopa-
fuIness that real war would be
aVerted, could be traced, but Gen
eral Villas friendly pronouncement,

many officials here with the posslblli-
ty that the cOnstitutlonaIlsts would
