Further explanations from the authorities
showed that many of the residents of Blank
County, being moonshiners and disposing
of their whisky in that section, had thought
we were bringing in new kind of grape wine
which was a nonintoxicant and intended to
serve as a substitute for whisky. They had
been informed that shipment of the new
beverage was on the way there, and had
made up their minds to waylay it. Knowing
nothing about favoring extracts, but divin-
ing from the looks of our stock that it was
the new beverage, they proceeded to de-
stroy it.
While the money that they sent to us did
not repay for even the cost of the manu-
facture of our extracts, still the sum was
large one for those poor mountaineers and
they further proved that they wanted to
make up for what they had done by buying
in generous quantities on our next trip to
that part of the country. At nearly every
house we were the recipients of much hos
pitality and good will from those poor
people, and each family tried to outdo
the neighbors in showing us their rough
courtesies.
We never knew of even one person who
had been participant in our holdup.

That salesman had represented

SALOON REGULATION

1t is difficult TO account for the
fact that some well meaning people
believe in regulation of the liquor
traffic. instead of abolishing it.
Lincoln said that you might just
as We'll try to regulate a cancer by
law as to try to regulate the liquor
traffic by law, and Lincoln was right
about that, as he was usually right
about most things.
1t is impossible to regulate crime.
The only thing to do is to suppress
it. You can regulate q saloon for a
million years and all the time il
will produce drunkards paupers,
criminals, insane, divorces. disease,
degeneracy and death. These are
just as certain to follow the saloon
business as night is certain to follow
the day.
You can open the saloon with
prayer, play the doxology on music

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe
Of Sage Tea and Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray: also ends dandruff, itch
ing scalp and stops falling hair Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home. which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" You will get
a large bottle for about so cents.
Everybody uses this old, famous re-
cipe, because no one can possibly tell
that you darl<ened your hair, as it
does it so naturally and evenly You
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger .-Advertisement.

Under regulation in Phoenix the

ELK FOR GAME PRESERVE.
State Game Department Begins to Stock
Forest Reserve With Large
Game-Elk Arrive

The first active move on the part oi
the state game department to stock the
state forest reserve with large game was
made by State Game Warden Hedrick
March 9th, when shipment Of twenty
three elk, consigned to the State OF
South Dakota arrived at Hermosa by
express from Victor, Idaho, and were
landed in their new home east of Gus
ter. This is the first shipment of large
game received for the states new game
preserve, which covers q tract of land
twelve miles north and south by eight
miles east and west. Most of the fence
is completed about the whole tract, and
large pasture is entirely enclosed, the
elk being placed within this pasture un-
til the fence about the whole tract is
completed. 1t is expected that several
antelope will be secured to add to the
park before the end of this season.
Probably several buffaloes will also be
secured before the close of the year, and
a number of different kinds of game
birds will be placed on the tract. The
elk were hauled by four horse team
from Hermosa to the preserve under the
of State Game Warden
Hedrick and State Forester Geo. w.
Roskie in rack or cage made for that
purpose.

This is as il should be, for under favor

BEWARE or FEDERAL

GAME WAhDENS.
Owing to the fact that the state and
federal game laws conflict regarding
spring shooting, and to the further fact
that the local hunters have license
which gives them permission to hunt
migratory birds up to the closing of the
spring season, many South Dakota hunt
ers have been of the opinion that they
would not be molested if they INDUCED
in spring shooting and they have laid
their plans accordingly. In this con-
nection the following letter sent by H.
S. Hedrick, the state game warden gives
a clear statement of the situation.
'State laws say that the season on
waterfowl is open April and We have
sold licenses for parties to hunt until
that time. We could not prosecute any
one under the state laws if we wished
to, as anyone shooting up to the 9th of
April will not have violated the state
law, but they will be liable to arrest by
the federal officers and, if arrested, will
be taken into the federal court. My de-
partment will not undertake to prose-
cute anyone under the federal law until
after the legislature changes the state
law to conform with the federal law,
which hope they will do at their next
session.
"Just to give you little idea of what
the governments doing along this line,
will say that received letter from DR..
T. S. Palmer, assistant chief of the bio
logical survey at Washington, in which
be says that their department has force
of l29 wardens in the field and eight dis
trict inspectors, also two special agents
at the present time, and that they are
adding to their forces and getting their
organization in shape as fast as possible.
AS understand, the way they work is
to move their men north through the
United States just as the birds travel
north, so that when the ducks and geese
arrive in South Dakota this spring the
federal men will be here with them.
AS this is the northern territory where
the ducks and geese stay and hatch more
or less through the summer season, these
men will be here all summer in the
northern states, watching for violations
of the law.
"You can give this matter to your
papers If you see fit, as think it ad-
visable to give this matter as much pub
licity as possible. l have taken the
matter up with the reporters here and
they will give it as much publicity in
the dailies as they can"

tered republican voters. / submitted my

believing that it was unnecessary for me
to do more to bring to the attention Of

through the mails and the press and did
not make single speech, considering
speech. making campaign at this time
unnecessary, and to advoid discussion
of personalities that might create i'll feel
ing and bitterness that would be harm
full to the party and make it difficult for
the republicans to get together and sup
port the ticket as good republicans should
do after the result of primary election
had been declared.
"The result of Tuesdays primary clear.
ly indicates disposition on the part of
republicans to get together, and is
declaration against the continuation of

am naturally gratified over the result so
far as l am personally concerned, and
am glad my nomination is by such
substantial majority as to make it de.
cisive.
"There is no doubt about the success
of the entire republican ticket in the
November election, as all of the candi-
dates who participated in the primary
election pledged themselves to support
the entire ticket nominated, and am
certain that each and every one of those
defeated will do so. In addition to the
state being overwhelmingly republican
the democrats are badly disorganized,
so that in the election it is only ques-
tion of the size of the republican ma.
