The seven girl defendants take the
whole matter much less seriously
than does Miss Rogers. They brand
the hazing as a trivial affair, explain
ing that it was customary for first
year students to wait on the girls in
the senior class. The. are supposed
to run errands when they are request
ed to do so and to be obedient to
their seniors until they have finished
their first year.
Miss Rogers, they said, on several
occasions had been requested to do
certain things, but in each instance
she refused. She was told the rule of
the seniors, but still sh : was obdurate,
and the seven girls held a secret meet
ing and decided to give the girl cold
bath. They waited several days for
their opportunity, and when one quiet
night they found the time propitious
they sneaked into Miss Roger room

While American people as a rule
prefer cooked pork which is whole
some there are many who unknow-
insly or deliberately consume pork
in an uncooked condition, either in
the form of raw ham or smoked saus-
ages. In many districts, particularly
in sections with large foreign popula
tions, n great deal of pork is made
privately oil commercially into such
products for home use OF for sale.
Great risk always attends the use of
raw or undercooked pork. The illness
which may result from eating raw
pork, known as trichinosis, is caused
by a parasite or a worm, microscopic
IN size. which occurs in the flesh of
hogs There is no known effective
method of treating the disea se. The
patient dies vr recover apparently ir-
respective of the nature of the treat
ment. Many who do not die have
their health impaired. Statistics
based on microscopic inspection of
over 5000, 600 hogs during a period
of nine years in this country have
shown that 1.4l per zen of the hogs
were infested with live trichia. This
fact alone makes it important that
every one who eats pork should fol
protection of health eat 1T only when
thoroughly cooked.

AbANDONS PROPERTY
South Dakotans Badly Used By
Belligerents in Mexico

Trent, Jan. 10. Three refugees from
Old Mexico, in the persons of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Farr and Mrs. l. Wood
berry, former residents OF this part of
South Dakota have just reached here
after a series of adventures with Mexi-
can regulars and rebels, and after
w~ithstanding the hardships of a flight
from Mexico.
Mr.. Farr has lived in Mexico many
years and was a prosperous rancher
when the rebellion broke ont. His
place was raided at intervals by both
rebels and federals, and he was COM
PEELED to see nearly everything he pos
sessed stolen before his eyes. including
his live stock, for had he objected the
lives of all would have been the for
felt.
They finally were instructed to flee
fol- their lives, and officials of the
Mexican government gave them S25 in
cash and a railroad ticket, and they
were placed in a wagon and started on
the long journey overland to the Texas
boundary.
During this memorable journey
they drove for an entire day over a
battlefield where the federals and re-
bells had fought the day before. and
saw the rebels burying their dead,
while the federals were pouring oil
over the bodies of their dead and burn
ing them.
During their overland journey they
had a number of narrow escapes from
falling into the hands of bandits
who roam at will over the
warstricken country. The journey was
a very hard one, especially on the
women of the party, and all were
nearly exhausted went they reached
safety on the American side of the
line. There they lost no time in
taking a train for their former homes
in South Dakota.

HILLS WEATHER
Most Remarkable Winter in
History of The Black
Hills

Deadwoed, Jan. 19.-With the most
remarkable winter that has ever been
seen in the Black Hills, residents of
this section are reading stories of bliz-
yards aud below zero weather through
the east and central states with much
complaisance. Not u single day this
winter has the thermometer fallen be
low the zero mark, although on De-
cember %, during the night, it regis
tered = below for one hour. The
average temperature for December here
was 35 degrees above and for January
thus far it has been even higher and
on two days the maximum registered
So and SO respectively. while the low
est record this month has been 12 above
on January 12. There has also been
hat little snowfall, two and a quarter
inches in December and two and a hall
in January.
So mild has the weather been here
this month that he pussy willow trees
along the creek beds have budded out,
the grass has turned green and some
hardy flowers are blooming. All

dents, even the boys shooting marbles

up and not the slightest chance for

almost as plentiful as in summer.
The mild winter has greatly aided
the mining industry that is usually
retarded during December and Janu-

ther expresses the opinion that To-
000,0 acres Will be planted 10 wheat
this fall. the greatest wheat acreage
in the history OF the state In speak
ing OF the influence OF the war upon
the farming industry. Mr.. Borman
says
II have discussed the matter with
farmers, merchants and bankers-the
latter more particularly or the small
towns OF the state and OF which the
farmers and merchants are really in
close touch with the agriculture OF
their communities. 1t seems evident
to all that the farmer must realize
long prices for everything he has this
year produced.
Should the European war continue
for period OF six months or longer /
think we will see for the farm prod
ucts or this country higher prices
than we have had since those which
prevailed during and following our
own Civil war
''It is 10 be remembered that II will
be some years before Europe will be
able TO re-establish her agriculture
following this war, and this condition
indicates, TO me at least, that the war
will have IT'S effect for several years
upon the agricultural products OF this
country.
"The wheat acreage 10 be sown IN
this state this fall will be limited only
10 the amount OF work II Is possible
TO do before winter sets IN. II the
fall is favorable for seeding, am
looking for the largest wheat acreage
sown In the history OF the state. We
harvested this year about s.500000

Reports indicate that with favorable
