Organized baseball has made a
move that is one of the most impor-
tant ever recorded. They have been
arguing that certain changes in the
system of organization in the base
ball business are impossible, and now
are taking steps that they should
have taken years ago.
The admission of the American as
sociatiOn is but an act Of justice. Per-
haps it is a war measure, but the re-
moval of the draft is just. There is
no reason that the American associ-
alton should permit the National and
American leagues to pick their star

to equality and the freedom from
draft, then the Pacific Coast league
is more so.
The Coast league has for many
years paid heavy price for protec-
ton of the national commission
protection which, by the way, never
protected them in the slightest.
For years the coast league owners
have realized that they paid for
something they did not get and they
have, been uneasy and in many sea-
sons have been openly rebelliOus.
The International league and the
Southern association rank with the
American association and the Pacific
Coast league. The fact that the In
ternatiOnal suffered heavy financial
losses last year because of the Fed
eral league invasion does not appear
to give the national commission the
right to make it suffer more heavily
because of its weakened condition.
1t should, in justice and equity, be
granted the same exemption from
draft as has been granted the asso-
ton.
After these tour leagues have been
dealt with squaTely there remains
another. 1t is necessary to go back
into baseball history to see the JUS
tice of the case of the Western
league. When the American league
invaded National territory and start
ed the big war, a new western league
occupied the field abandoned by the
old western when it became the
American.
It surrendered Milwaukee and
Kansas City to the association. In
payment for this sacrifice the ma
tional commission agreed that the
Western always should rank with the
others, regardless of it's size.
That agreement was broken when
the others were raised to Class AA
and the Western left in Glass A.

WOLF BOUNTIES
LAKE COUNTY LEADS SOME OF
THE WESTERN COUNTIES.

Pierre, Aug. 19.-More wolf boun-
ties will be paid this year in either
Lake and Lincoln counties in the ex-
treme east portion of the state than
in Lawrence in the mountains on the
western border. Union county, which
lies just across the river from Sioux
City, claims more than many of the
frontier counties, and Brown county
is we'll up i'm the list. or course the
heaviest calls come from the western
counties, with Stanley at $3.50, Hard
ing, $3.50; Lyman, S712, and other
counties ranging up to several hun
dred, but ii is noticeable that Pen
nington, which i'm old days led them
all, is only a little ahead of some of
the eastern counties this year. In
the east river counties, Union gets
|$162.6S; Turner, one of the best ag-
ricultural counties in the state gets
~$127.S2; Lincoln gets Sits, while
Lawrence only gets $31.54, and Lake
gets $4S.14. Brown county, which is
in the agricultural region, gets
$185.92, and Bon Homme, n of the
older counties, S222.44. The oun
ties which have made no claims for
bounty are Bennett. Brookings,
Clark, Day. Deuel., Grant, Roberts,
Sphinx.

THE CORN CROP
FARMER AT ABERDEEN ANTICI-
PATES BIG YIELD OF
LARGE GRAIN.

Aberdeen. Aug. 19.-Corn will yet
be a big crop this year, according to
Jake Honegger, who states that the
IT'S acres of this grain on the Hon
egger ranch is mostly in the milk,
some even advanced to the stage OF
roasting ears. He anticipates SO
bushels to the acre with IN ordinary
fall, declaring that by the last OF this
week corn will be advanced TO a nor
NAL stage. This rapid growth in the
last two weeks, he declares, is due to
the vast amount of moisture in the
ground, which combined with the
warm weather, has caused the grain
to grow and mature most rapidly.
The Honegger brothers operate GAO
acres along the Yellowstone trail
eight miles west of Aberdeen. OF
this It's acres is in corn, 125 in small
grains, 25 acres in potatoes, 35 acres
in alfalfa, 10 acres in sweet clover
and the balance in pasture and hay
land.
About 30 acres OF small grain is
under three inches of water. and a
large wooden wheel eight feet in dia-
meter similar to those in general use
in the southern part of the state, is
being used to harvest this grain.

o VERY FUNNY


Mitchell, Aug. 19.-Because Jens
G. Nelson of Mitchell and Miss Au-
gusta Wagner of Memo sought to
keep secret their marriage. a half
dozen friends seized Nelson as he
stepped from the parsons home last
evening and bore him away in a car
before the eyes Of his bride. The
luckless bridegroom was carried sew
eral miles south of Mitchell and
handcuffed and tied to a telephone
pole. Not until Nelson had given up
all hope of being released before the
next day did his friends return and
free him. The climax arrived when
he was obliged to banquet his perse-
cutors before being allowed to return
home for a reunion with his frantic
wife.
