ASIATIC CORN
SUPPLANTS SOUTH DAKOTA
PRODUCT AND CAUSES LOSS
TO FARMERS.

Sioux City. Dec. 10.-Farmers of
South Dakota last year and this fall
have lost approximately 10000. 900
as a result of an invasion of Pacific
coast sections by Manchuria corn, ac-
cording to Mr.. King, a grain commits
sion merchant of Sioux City, who ad-
vances figures to prove his assertion.
Mr.. King stated a great part Of
South Dakota corn for years has gone
to the Pacific coast states, and that
this meant a shipment each year of
about 10000, 900 bushels. But with
the reduction of the tariff of Is cents
a bushel, made two years ago. Asiatic
corn was allowed to come into COM
petition. AS a result South Dakota
corn was diverted to other directions
not being able to meet the Manchu-
rian price, which dropped 10 cents
below that of the Dakota product.
With the drop in price on the Ash
attic corn there came an attendant
loss TO South Dakota farmers OF 10

afraid his knees will always be stiff.
This will be a great inconvenience TO

This is the second serious accident in
the family, Mrs. Euchholtz having
broken her hip about five years ago

Pierre-Insurance companies will
pay the special revenue on insurance
policies. The state insurance depart
ment has ruled hat agents cannot
make any allowance to policy holders
because this is a general provision
specifically prohibited in the general
statutes, but the companies can agree
to pay the revenue if they treat all
customers alike. The insurance de
partment has been flooded with in
quiries concerning the matter since
some insurance commissioners have
ruled way on the matter and
others an opposite way. In South Da-
kota the companies will pay the rev
enue tax.
Aberdeen-The cases against the
Aberdeen moving picture theaters
that were charged with breaking the
laws of South Dakota, by exhibiting
a comedy or drama within one mile
of a place of religious worship while
services were being held. came to an
abrupt end yesterday, when the pros
ecution moved for the dismissal of
the case against ID. f. McPhearson,
on the ground that McPhearson had
retired from the moving picture the
alter business and the prosecution did
not care to carry that case any far
Their. Then the case against the Nc
Carthy brothers was dismissed. The
chief witness for the compliments
confessed his inability to state wheth-
er the exhibitions complained Of were
comedies or dramas.

cents a bushel on their corn, making
Mr.. King declared.
Corn is selling this week for about
s cents less than the price that pre-
vailed at the same time a year ago,
farmers in the country now getting
about SO cents.
Other grains show a variance in
price over a year ago. Wheat, which
then sold for about 80 cents. now
brings $1.l0 or more. Oats have in
creased in price about 6 cents over
December 10 last year. the present
price being AZ cents a bushel.
Corn this fall has been going prin-
cipally to eastern points from north
western Iowa and South Dakota, the
reason assigned for this by Mr.. King
is that last year Kansas and other
more southern states had a very poor
crop and called upon this section for
its grain. This fall, however, there
has been a fair crop to the south and
local corn has been routed east as
a result.
Very little central western corn
now goes west. according to Mr.. King
not only on account of the Manchu.
ria shipments, but also owing to the
opening of the Panama canal, which
permits Argentine corn to reach the
Pacific coast at prices below the
South Dakota product.
Not more than rs per zen of the
corn from northwestern Iowa and
South Dakota has been shipped GU,
Of the country at this time, according
to III. ]. Hutton, manager of the
Mystic Milling company. Mr.. Huttor
states that about 60 per cent of the
wheat and about so per cent of the
oats have been shipped out.

known among the people here as
Dad" was found in a manger in
Mike Leisch's barn in a dying condi-
ton. and died soon after he was
found. Little is known of Berry's
history. He came from some place in
Iowa and had been living here for
several years. working at odd jobs.
He was about 65 years of age.
Pierre-The state treasury, for the
close of business November 80, show
ed a total of $~471,271.7S, cash on
hand. Of this $1S3,758 is a school
fund and will be apportioned on De-
cember Is to the schools of the state.
The Irvine fund is $93,S11, and the
game fund has dropped to $34,436.
There are $12.075 in what is known
as the publicity pamphlet fund.
Hot Springs-Perhaps the most eff
fectiye organization of its kind in
the state is the Minnekahta Valley
farmers club. which embraces among
its membership all the leading farm
ers of this territory. The organiza-
ton owns a clubhouse, situated two
miles from Hot Springs. Meetings of
the members are held at frequent in
tervals. and at these addresses are
made on agricultural. horticultural
and other topics of special interest TO
the members. These meetings and
the interchange OF views are having
a wonderful effect in improving farm
ing methods in this region.

81 years, was married to Mrs. Mary
Sperb of Tyndall, aged rs. The GER
emony was performed by Rev. j. J.
Sattler at the home of the brides
daughter, Mrs. William Quatier of
Tyndall. This is the fourth matri-
monial venture for each principal in
this ceremony. Each one has a great

Trust Brothers in Senate.

Chicago Record-Tierald: Facts sometimes speak for themselves.
The facts as to the trust bill in the House certainly require no lengthy
comment. The three brothers I-originaly they were five In num-
ber-passed final muster with little or no opposition. The circum
stance that so many republicans and progrcsives voted for the bills
is not surprising when the national platforms are taken into account
and there is one thing to be devoutly thankful for-namey, that the
bills cannot be made a partisan, political football. They will have
to be discussed henceforth, in and out of congress, on their own
merits or dement's. Washington may be too warm and uncomfort-
abIe in June and July, but unfavorable weather would be a poor
excuse for hasty or insufficient study of the trust legislation. Right
and wise action on that is essential to the health and comfort Of the
industries Of the country.

Presidential Prospects,

Washington Star: The Americans, like the New zealanders, are
conservative in their radicaism.
Though the national tendency in the United States is distinctly
progressive, this movement is modified by the national tradition not
ia co to extremes in anything and by the national habit Of checking
its radical movements and drawing the political deadhne in radical
ism abruptly and disoncertingly.
Thus the American people have checked themselves and recoled|
from debasement Of the currency confscation, open or disguised, Of
private property; government ownership Of railroads; recall Of
judges and Judicial decisions and standpatism in excessive protee-
ton.
The winner IN the 1916 presidential campaign will be the party
which appreciates most accurately this national tradition and habit
and sezes and holds the vantage point in progressivism beyond
which there will be reaction.
