July Purchases UndeIIvered.


As a matter OF fact. the heavy Ger.
man. purchases, made here in July,
did not reach the German ports.
Most OF 1t has been already diverted
to the ports of England. Aside from
the United States. Germany draws its
supplies Of foodstuffs chiefly from the
Argentine and Russia. from both OF
which markets it has been cut ON
since the opening week OF August.
Russia. in fact, Is the regular source
OF Germany's supply for a large part
of it's oats and barley.
What. then, will happen in the
German empire itself, II the war and
the virtual blockade Of the German
coast should be long continued
What may be going in by way Of Rot
terdam, from which the communities
lions to Germany seem still to be
open, no one can surely say. This is
one desperate stake which the Ger
man armies have. in holding their po-
sion in Belgium, thereby keeping open
the access from Holland TO Germany.

peace 1t is expected to import from an
wheat producing countries 10000, 600
bushels, and OF this more than half
will usually come from the United
States. It's largest imports from all
countries were in 1905, when they
reached 92.000,o0o bushels. In the
same year 1t took 100000 bushels
OF foreign corn, 6s,00O,o 900 bushels Of
oats and 81, 100000 OF barley.
But how is Germany to get the
wheat, with the North sea and the
Mediterranean patrolled by hostile
fleets? The kaiser has talked OF 2
years supply OF foodstuffs already In
hand or available at harvest time,
and even in grain market circles re.
ports have lately been going the
rounds that 1t has nine to twelve
months stocks Of wheat and other
foodstufYs. But this is not believed
at all by the grain trade in this coun-
try. II so, why did Germany buy more
than its usual quantity OF wheat from
the United States early this season.
and why was she so anxious to get It
delivered before the war began?

needs of the northwest in irrigation
which he has been studying for the past
twenty years.
Just before leaving he received the
full returns from the recent primary and
gave out short interview.
II DESIRE" said Mr.. Rice, "to thank
all my friends in the third district for
the cordial support they gave me in the
primary and to say that l have only the
highest regard for those who voted
against me, as l am a firm believer in

satisfied with the majority I received,
considering the light vote.
II also desire to thank my opponent,
Mr.. Bartine of Oacoma for his gentle
manly campaign and courtesy through

dict that the republican ticket from top

OUTH DAKOTA. SATURDAY. APRIL IL. 1914
THOUGHTS ON EASTER.

Over the whole world today rings the
antham of resurrection. Beginning in
the far Orient it runs. with the dawn to
the limits of the Occident, is sounded
from every church bell up to heaven
like a paean of hope and promise. The
winter is past, and Nature has set man
again the lesson, which since time began
she has spread out before him in the
earth, that book which may be read by
the unlearned savage as we'll as civilized
man. There is no death, there is no
effort that sinks into the dim void and
becomes naught, there is no cessation of
soul influence. The summer comes and
it's glory passes. the harvest time of our
lives wanes. the fields are brown and
barren, and looking over them sadly we
grieve that all of our hopes were not
brought to fruition. When the frosts OF
age cover our heads we sometimes say
with the great soul that voiced His agony
in dark hour: Youth is a blunder,
manhood struggle, and old age regret"
Yet we have lived and loved, and that
is within itself boon. From the graves
where were laid our crucified Joy, our
blameless offerings to untoward destiny,
our loved and noble ideals, shall arise a
glorified spirit to guide others down the
rough way to the place where the great
light" shines. No path of sorrow in t he
vale of life is virgin to the naked feet of
our shrinking souls. Wherever the
water Is deepest and the shadows fall
darkest, there trod the martyrs of the
ages and though they found the sepulcher
at the end of the journey, being dead,
they yet live and speak with undying
utterance.
Christ is risen from the dead! Long
ages passed when it seemed to the wait
ing nations that He was yet in the tomb,
and in the sleep of death had forgotten
the world. Toll. stripes and anguish were
the portion of His people, for the poor
are His. Wickedness wore the robe and
crown and filled the earth with signing.
Even then there were brave hearts that
looked up through the clouds and listen
ed for the antham of the resurrection
1t was heard at last, and liberty of
thought, faith and conscience were pro-
claimed. The cerements of terror are
cast off and lie in the open sepulcher,
and with them are the broken shackles
and rendered letters.

FINAL PROOF SURVEYS IN
THE BLACK HILL

The local forest service is taking ad-
vantage of the splendid weather con-
ditions that have existed in the Black
Hills during the past winter by having
several surveying parties in the field.
Under special appropriation made by
congress, the forest officers are now en-.
abled to make necessary surveys for
homesteads situated in unsurveyd coun-
try or taken by metes and bounds. Be-
fore it is possible to offer final proof, a
survey plat of the homestead which has
received the approval of the surveyor
general must be placed on file at Rapid
City.
The difficulty Of making surveys in
the Black Hills is such that every sur
vey represents an expenditure of from
$3.50 to 5000. The Importance of having
such surveys made by the forest officers
without any cost to the individual home
steader, can be readily appreciated.
The combination of free surveys to-
gether with the three-yrar homestead
law will bring about the result that in a
short time large number of homesteads
will pass into private ownership.
THE BLACK HILLS
DECLAMATORY CONTEST.
The sixth annual declamatory contest
between the high schools of the Black
II ills was held in the auditorium of the
Spearfish State Normal School on Friday
evening, April 8. The auditorium was
well filed with admirers of the various
contestants and in spite of the lengthy
program, everyone went away feeling
satisfied that they had listened to the
most spirited and best declamatory con-
test yet held in Spearfish, between
schools of the Black Hills.
Ten entries were listed on the pro-
gram, four speakers for the oratorical
contest and six for the dramatical con-
test. The towns represented were,
Lead, Deadwood, Belle Fourche, Rapid
City, Custer and Spearfsh. Miss Esther
Bietila of Lead was awarded first place
for her representation of MADAME
Butterfly" and Miss Ida Buan of Belle
Fourche won second in the dramatical
contest. Orman NJ. Kelley of Dead dwood
won first in the oratorical and Arthur
Clarke of Lead second.
Mrs. Levi McGee of Rapid City. Mrs.
Roscoe Wolzmuth of Spearfsh and Rev.
R. E. l.. Haynes of Lead were the judges.

other magazines, the object being to

possible. With this end in view, the
class put on trial last week which would
have been a credit to any class. Eric
Heidepriem and Boyce Maple, the at
torneys, did some excellent work in Or
ganizing their testimony and making
their pleas before the jury. The result
was disagreement on the part of the
jury. Plans are now on foot to organize
the class into senate and actually 90

also offer an excellent opportunity for
parliamentary practice and debate.

RESTRICTIONS PLACED
On Timber Cutting in Forest Reserve
Commissioner Has Issued Follow
ing Rules.

In order that homesteaders in the
forest reserve may know exactly their
rights regarding the cutting of timber
on their claims, Commissioner Tallman
has issued the following rules;
Homestead claimants who have made
bona 6de settlements upon public land,
and who are living upon, cultivating,
and improving the same in accordance
with law and the rules and regulations
of this department, with the intention
of acquiring title thereto, are permitted
to cut nd remove, or cause to be cut and
removed, from the portion thereof being
cleared for cultivation, so much timber
as is actually necessary for that purpose,
or for buildings, fences and other i'm
provements on the land entered.
I'm clearing for cultivation. should
there be surplus of timber over what
is needed for the purposes above speci.
fed, the entryman may sell or dispose
of such surplus; but it is not allowable
to denude the land of its timber for the
purpose of sale or speculation before the
title has been conveyed to him by patent.
'It is not permissible to cut timber
for sale even when the money procured
therefrom is to be used for improving or
cultivating the land or supporting the
claimant or his family.
"The abandonment of settlement
claim after the timber has been removed
is presumptive evidence that the claim
was made for the primary purpose of OBJ
tanning the timber.
"a bona fide settler upon unsurveyed
public land who intends to acquire title
to the land under the homestead laws as
soon as he is allowed to do so after sur
vey, and who, in good faith, in comply
ing with the rules and regulations rela'
tive to residence, cultivation, and i'm
provements, is permitted the same pri-
vileges with regard to the cutting of tim
ber upon his claim as are allowed to the
bona fide homesteader, and is subject to
the same restrictions.
"Under the act of March 4, 1914 (37
Stat. 10l5), certain timber which was
killed or seriously damaged by forest
fires prior to the date of the passage Of
the act may be disposed of by the secre-
tary of the interior under such rules and
regulations as he shall prescribe. The
act applies to the disposition of this class
oftimber upon certain unprotected claims
including claims initiated under the
homestead laws. The rules and regula-
tions governing the disposition of such
timber are contained in Circular No.
25S, approved August /, 1918 (42 L. D.
300); a copy of which may be obtained
upon request from the commissioner OF
the general land Office, Washington, D.
c., or from the chief Of field division OF
the general land office of the division in
which the land is situated"

FOR CHEAP ASSAYS.

Alta recent general meeting of the
Dead w ood Business club DR.. G. e. o.
Harra, president of the South Dakota
State School of Mines, suggested that
effort be made to induce the state .egis-
lature to make provision and appropria-
ton as would allow the school to make
ore assays for gold for 25 cents. His
opinion was that at such a price the
school would be enabled to help the
prospectors and others of limited means
to get reliable assays for modest sum
that would about cover the actual cost
of the materials employed. The sug.
gestion was heartily received by the
gathering, and it is quite probable that
the club will authorize strong lobby
to 90 before the next session of the
states lawmakers. Among other matters
DR.. O'Harrain his brief remarks touched
on the interests of the school, and men
toned that it was rapidly growing botf
