Leola, S. D.. July 27.-The banks Of
Leola are now carrying the heaviest

the bankers states the largest amount
of this money belongs to the farmers OF
this section of South Dakota, and this
in spite of the fact that for three years
prior to 1914, this locality had short
crops. The increased prosperity Is due
to dairying, which many farmers have
taken UP. The average cream checks
cashed in Leola per month run from
$1,000 to $4,000. In June the banks
cashed $4,000 worth of cream checks
Farmers are also raising horses for the

Commissioner Hartigan Pro-
poses AbOlishing Other Stand
ards in Sale Of Foods.

The avoirdupois pound of sixteen
ounces strikes Joseph Hartigan. Commits
sioner of the Bureau OF Weights and
Measures. as the ideal selling standard
for grocers, He would do away with the
quart measure. the peck and the bushel
and would require all grocers to sell their
goods by the pound. Eggs, cabbage, tur-
nps molasses spinach and other articles
for the table he would have traded in by
the same standard.
The Commissioner announced Yesterday
that he Is preparing a schedule of weights
to apply to all food articles which now
are sold by the pint, quart or peck.
Those schedules will be published to-day
IN preparation for a hearing which he
will hold tn few days at the City Hall
with the aim OF getting the views OF
farmers, middlemen ana merchants.
One reason for the new system, Com
missioner Hartsan says, is that it will
insure more nearly correct dealings and
will bring about greater economy for the
housewife.

the measure is oftentimcs deCeitful where

Philadelphia cotton merchant, against
William II. Barnard of New York for
alternating the affection or Mrs Gertrude
4. Wood was filed in the Supreme Court
on Saturday. when the allegations on
which Wood bases his claim became pub
lie for the first time.
Mr.. Barnard Is an officer and director
of many Industrial. railway and banking
institutions. Is president or the Automo-
bile Importers Salon. treasurer or the
Mason-Seaman Transportation company
secretary and treasurer OF the Interna-
tional Salt Company and treasurer Of

ACQUAINTED with Mrs. Wood, and although
he knew she was living with her husband
he wrongfully began TO pay attentions to
her. entertained Mrs. Wood lavishly in
Philadelphia and asked her to go to New
York.
The husband asserts that Barnard gave
Mrs Wood money and articles OF value
"and by hattery and wiles and by boast
ing of his wealth and social position en-
deavored to obtain her love and affection,
importuning her TO have improper rela-
tons with him" Wood alleges that Bar

succeeded in winning Mrs. Woods aftec-
lions and caused her to regard her hus-
band with Indifference and to incur n
large Indebtedness in his name, which
threatened Wood with bankruptcy and
made II impossible for him to live with
his wife. Wood says that while igno-
rant of the relations between his wife
and Barnard he consented to give her a
separation and on November a, 1910
signed an agreement to pay her $50 a
week for lii" and give her the family
