Quarterly Meeting Held at Huron
with County Boards.

Huron, Oct. 26.-The state board
of health concluded its quarterly ses-
sion, having met at Huron with the
county boards of health.
Some thirty counties were repre-
sented, but in many of the counties
the county commissioners refused to
allow the expenses of their health of
ficers to attend these meetings, while
other counties sent both superintend-
ent and vice superintendent.
1t is a fact that the law is not very
specific as to the expenses, but it GER
tainly seems reasonable that il the
law directs that the state superin-
tendent of public health shall call the
county boards to meet hal the state
intended that the health officer
should be paid, at least his expenses
and most of the counties r glad to
have their health officers attend and
be instructed as to their duties and
proper protection of the people over
which they have jurisdiction.
DR.. Daniels of Madison, president
of the state board. gave an address
to the county boards and called their
attention to the fact that many of the
chronic diseases which are prevent
able, are on the increase and that in
sanity, feeble mindedness and idiocy
are increasing at a dangerous rate
and that unless some eugenic law is
passed to put a check on the increase
there will be one mental pervert in
every nine i'm less than 100 years.
The health officers of the state will
meet at Pierre in January. next, and
1T is hoped that every health officer
in the state will be present.
If the state and county boards are
to do the work that the law contem-
plates that they should do, there
must be more l~iberality on the part
of our law makers to provide funds
to carry on the work.

PRISON Irvine PLANT
FARMERS SAVED $780, 900 AND
STATE HAS ALSO GAINED.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 26.-Oyer $780,
600 has been saved to the farmers of
South Dakota by the prison Irvine
plant since its installation and In ad-
dition the state has received nearly
$4,000 in net earnings, according to
the biennial report of Warden Sven
son to the state board of charities and
corrections.
The saving to the farmers of the
state is in the difference in the price
of the Irvine sold by the prison plant
and that sold by Independent com
panies. 1t is pointed out that this Is
one way in which the plant has
proved profitable while in addition
the state has received a net profit of
~$72,294.2l during the life of the
plant.
The warden recommends that the
capacity be greatly increased, urging
the installation of 100 additional
spindles, which will give the plant
220 spindles. This is done TO give
employment for the men who will be
without work when the shirt factory
closes down on March 10. 1915.
The report states that the net
pToHt Ol the shirt Factory Is 4Z0,-
591.S7. Out of this the state has
paid s~4,376.29 to the prisoners work
ing in the factory as earnings and for
Overtime. An average of seventy
eight men have been employed in the
factory during the period. 1t is
pointed out that the removal of many
men from the factory to work on the
farm and on the construction work
which has been i'm progress during
the summer has materially reduced
the earnings of this department of
the institution. As all of the men
now in the shirt factory cannot be
employed on the farm he urges the
doubling of the capacity of the Irvine
plant which has proved so beneficial
to the state and the agricultural in
| terests.

War SITUATION
SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 26.-Special: The
continuation of the great battle which
has been in progress ever since the
Germans essayed their advance on the
coast toward the French seaport is
reported in the official dispatches and
apparently the fire of the opposing
forces is becoming more desperate
than ever.
Germany is said to have sent many
thousands of reinforcements to aid
the right wing in forcing its way
through what is, from a strategic
viewpoint, the most important piece
of territory in northern Belgium. BIZ
the Belgians are fighting hard al
there is no doubt that French reir
forcements and possibly British ha
been brought up to aid the allie
armies. The latest official communi
cation declares all attacks of the Ger
mans from the North sea to the south
of Arras have been repulsed, which is
a rather more optimistic view from
the French standpoint than that ex-
pressed in an earlier announcement
to the effect that the Germans had
made Roadway at certain points.
In addition the French have occu-
pied the more important position of
Melzicourt, which commands the road
leading from Harnesses around which
there are strong German forces, TO
the valley of the Aisne.
British and French warships con-
tinue to pour shells into the German
ranks and the Germans are guarding
points along the coast in order to be
ready for a possible British landing
A German submarine has been
sunk off the Dutch coast by the Brit
ish destroyer Badger. The official
announcement Of this incident gives
no details, but says the Badgers BIO

Berlin officially reports that Ger
man forces have succeeded In o
ing the User canal, where for several
days past the Belgians had been of
fering strong opposition. Berlin alsC
reports that German troops are slow
ly advancing east of Ypres and south
east of Lille. There has been very
severe fighting for a long time in thi
vicinity.
In the eastern theater of war, Rus
STA, according to the official statmeni
eminating from ~Petrograd, is still

ported to be in retreat.

IRREGULAR TONE OF TRADE
European War Continues to BE the
Dominating Influence.

New York, Oct. 26.-Following is
Bradstreet's review of trade for the
past week:
Cross currents in trade and finance.

regular appearance TO commercial

is still the dominating element in the
entire situation and whatever dull
ness or, on the other hand, stimula-

ly in the hostilities in Europe.
On the favorable side of the pic

by international efforts to bring
about a resumption of normal condi-

 And yet the very consciousness of the girls danger was all the stlmu- lant that Alan needed to recall him to himself.
 Once arrived with Barcus at the top of the cliff, he lost no time in setting about preparations to effect her res- cue.
 In this business Fortune smiled upon him, as 1t were by predisposition.
 A broad roadway ran along the top of the precipice. turning off at a little distance 10 the right. to descend the mountainside. And just beyond this turning Providence had chosen to locate the camp of hydraulic min ing outfit
 Alan's appearance at the top, in fact, was coincident with the arrival at that point of half a dozen excited miners and he had no more than voiced his demands than three of their number were hastening back to the camp to procure rope and more hands.
 Within five minutes Alan. against IAC PAViNoho VI lNOot dhh i1aA kIOs Nho being lowered over the edge and down to the shale roof on which he land ed at spot far to one side of Judith, to escape all danger of sending a sec ond landslide down upon her.
 Picking his way carefully down to the very brink Alan edged along this, more than once saved fall to death only by the rope. until he stood im' meliately below Judith.
 Then pausing, be instructed her carefully, tossed the end of the rope into her hands, and when she had wound it twice round her arm, crept up to her side and helped her make 1t fast about her body.

 Supported by sympathetic hands. the quartet staggered into camp. their story, as condensed by Barcus and breathlessly confirmed by Alan, already winning them enthusiastic champions
 And this was very well for them. For they had no more than seated themselves and begun to appreciate what perils they had escaped, when the rumble of motor car sounded be- yond the shoulder of the hill.
 Startled by this alarm once mora into full command of his Tagging fac ulties, Alan rose and stumbled out into the roadway, taking cognizance of such facilities for defense as the camp afforded and issuing instructions with a voice vibrant with fear. not for his own safety. but for the safety

Judiths body was frightful He could feel her swinging like a pendulum at the end of it's 90 feet, and could imagine but too vividly what would happen if the rope should prove faulty.
 The fall of 20 feet to the shale roof was nothing What would fol. low would. however, spell death. The impact of her body would set the shale in motion, like an avalanche and beyond the caves was only empti- ness and the powder strewn bed of the chasm, a hundred feet below!
 The sweat poured from his face like rain His eyes started in their sock cts, the blood drummed in his ears with a roar resembling distant thun- der. His fingers grew numb, his throat dry.
 He felt that he could not hold on another instant when, abruptly. that torture was no more, The rope had been relieved of it's burden He heard a scream from below echoed by one from above, then the thump of Judith's body falling on the shale, then the slithering rumble of the landslide gathering momentum.

in pursuit. Whether or not, bitter experience had long since educated Alan in the gentle art of taking no chances
 Though 1t was his life that they sought so pertinaciously no later than yesterday (and then hy TO means for the first time). they had proved that if Rose were with Alan they would include her ruthlessly in whatsoever scheme they might contemplate for his personal extermination.
 Nor would Tom Barcus be exempt if they were caught in company though Judith might be, In view of Marrophats infatuation for the girl
 These two were far ahead out of sight, indeed and must somehow be overtaken and warned-no easy mat ter since the machine which bore them was, if anything. faster than Alan's, just as the racing automobile was faster than either
 Alan kept his gaze steadfast to the road before them, daring not once to look up and round or back.
 So sinuous and meandering was It's course, indeed, that Alan seldom could see a hundred yards of it ahead, but must pelt on in panic flight, hoping for the best-that Judith and Barcus would soon show up in front. that something might happen to hinder tho pursuit-never knowing whether the latter lost or gained.
 And thus catastrophe befell
 Round the swelling bosom of a wood ed mountainside the motorcycle swept like hunted hare, and without tue least warning came upon Barcus and Judith, dismounted Barcus bending over his cycle and tinRering with its motor
 For one horripilating instant colli- sion seemed unavoidable Barcus and Judith and the motorcycle occupied most of the width of the road, there was little room between them and the declivity, less between them and the forest. To try to pass them on the latter side would be only to dash his brains out against the trees. while to make the attempt on the outside would be to risk leaving the road altogether and flashing off into space
 And it was impossible to stop the cycle-so brief was all his warning In desperation Alan chose the outside of the road and for the space of a single heartbeat thought that he might possibly make it, but with the next realized that he would not-seeing the front wheel swing off over the lip of the slope
 At this he acted sharply and upon sheer instinct As the cycle left the road altogether he risked a broken knee by releasing his grasp of the handlebars and strengthening out his leg and driving it down forcibly against the roadbed. The effect of this was to lift him bodily from the sad dle: the machine shot from beneath him like some strange projectile hurled from the bore of a great gun; and Rose crashed against him in the same fraction of a second.

 At sight of the Mountain house the party betrayed slight symptoms of a more cheerful spirit rejoicing in it's promise of food and drinks and beds withal wherein to sleep, the four quickened their steps.
 But of sudden one of the women she who wore the garments of her sex-paused, uttered a low cry, a-thrill with terror, and clutching the arm of the man nearest her, pointed down to the card that stared up from the dust at her feet
