Girl Wants Clear Title.

Sioux Falls.-Josephine Ashley has
instituted in the probate court in this
city what promises to be an unusual
ly interesting will contest case. The
contest involves the $780, 900 estate Of
her father. The will of the father left
the estate to his second wife during
her life time, and provided that after
her death the remainder be divided
among IL children, with a proviso that
the share of Josephine Ashley be held
in trust. It is to this proviso that
Josephine Ashley objects. In her
contest of the will she alleges that
the instrument was made under undue
influence and by fraud. A previous
will provided for practically the Same
distribution of the property, but did
not provide for placing the contest
ants share in trust. If the contest Is
successful the original will would be
In effect, and this is the purpose Of

Sioux Falls.-The hot weather push.
ed small grain throughout South Da-
kota to maturity very rapidly. and
harvesting operations as a result came
on with a rush.
Harvesting is practically finished
throughout the greater part of the
southern section, and well along in
the northern portion.
In some sections of the central part
Of the state small grain was injured
to some exent by the excessively hot
weather. The berries of small grain
in the sections alluded to was shrunk-
en- by the heat, and the yield Will not
be up to the expectations several
week ago. when conditions were ideal.
Notwithstanding hat the yield o.
small grain will be decreased in the
sections mentioned, the crop of small
grain in the state will be one Of the
largest ever produced in South Da-
kota. and when harvested and mar
keted will bring many million dollars
into the state.
The hay crop is perhaps the largest
ever produced in South Dakota. The
abundant rains during June are what
made this crop such a large ne. Tens
Of thousands of tons have been cut
throughout the state, and much of the
hay yet remains to be harvested, many
farmers were compelled to cease their
hayfng operations for the purpose OF
taking care of their rapidly r~ipening
small grain crops. It is estimated
that the hay production of South Da'
kota this year will represent a value
of not less than s25, 600, 700 to $50, 600.
600. Corn continues to make rapid
growth and is about three weeks in ad
vance of it's customary growth at this
period Of the growing season.

NEW PRESIDENT NOT SOLDIER
Francisco CarbajaI's Public Career
Has Differed Materially From
That Of Huerta.

Mexico City.-Francisco Carbajal
the state of Campeche, and a lawyer.
Almost ever since the start of his
career he has occupied posts in the
judiciary. In the Madero administra-
ton he was a senator, but relin-
pushed his post to re-enter the SUI
preme court, OF which he was chief
justice at the time General Hnerta ap-
pointed him minister Of foreign rela-
tions.
When General Porfirio Diaz deter
mined in 1911 to treat with the Made
no revolutionists, Senior Carbaial pro-
ceeded to Juarez as his commissioner.
Senior Carbajal has a reputation for
possessing considerable intellectual
force and independence Of character.
His demeanor is quiet. He shuns the
exuberance in verbiage and gesticu-
lation to which Latin-Americans are
rome. He is courteous, but a man
of few words and little given to elabo-
rate compliments.
Besides. he is neat and we'll
groomed in appearance. His features
indicate pure European descent. with
out any admixture Of Indian blood.
Altogether he is a mar who con
veys an impression of reserve power.
He is a good man Of business.
His probity has never been ques-
toned. He has been sagacious and
successful in investments and, while
not rich, is a man Of Independent
means. He Is a man of family.

AUTO LICENSE WINS.
Supreme Court Makes Decision in a
Test Case.


Pierre.-In the case of William
Hoffert, from Miner county. to test
the automobile license act. Justice
Policy disposed of the question of
double taxation" which was made
enc Of the main features Of the case
by holding that the license fee re-
quired is not double TAXATION. for the
reason that it is a fee for use of the
highways, and not a charge against
either the machine itself, nor the own.
er thereof: that the individual may
own any number Of motor driven vehi-
cles, and so long as he confines their
use to his own premises, the license
fee does not apply, either to him IS
an individual, nor to the machine
which he owns; hat it applies only
to the use of such motor driven vehi
cles upon the highways of the state,
and as such is a police regulation. and
not a revenue measure as contended
by the applicant: that the fee SO col
lected goes into a road fund and not
into the general funds for general
use; that it is a we'll known fact that
motor driven vehicles which travel
the highways at a high speed are more
destructive to highways than the
horse driven vehicles, and that their
use materially increases the expense
to the public in maintenance Of such
highways, and that it is neither unrea-
sonable nor unjust to ask those who
cause this additional expense upon
the public to help pay the increased
cost placed upon the public by their
use.

Seed Fortunes AIonq Roads.

Brookings.-In all parts Of the state
white sweet clover grows along the
roadsides and fences. The seed OF
this white blossomed sweet clover
should be saved and utilized. 1t is a
well known fact that any country
where farming has been carried on
successfully for many years is a
country where some kind of clover
is used in the crop rotation. 1t fol-
lows that il South Dakota is to keep
her soil productive, some kind of clio
yer should be grown. White sweet
clover is the most profitable clover yet
studied by this experiment station.
The crop on the Brookings farm in
1913 was worth upwards of 500 per
acre. The first crop was cut for hay.
the second for seed. The seed used
for the original paintings on the sta
ton was obtained from the roadsides
nearby. There is no need to buy the
seed If it grows wild near home. The
seed retailed last veal at about SIS
per bushel, and the demand could not
be supplied. In the vicinity of Farm.
ingdale, Rapid City and other Black
Hills towns great quantities went to
waste. The seed can be harvested
with binder, reaper, mower or scytha
and threshed with an ordinary threeh.
er or in small quantities by beating
or tramping out on a hard floor. In
saving this seed the all important
thing to remember is to get the white
blossomed kind. The yellow-blossom.
ed kind is inferior as a forage crop
and is only wanted by bee men who
desire it for its abundant bloom rath.
er than its forage qualities.
