strong man, with pardonabe pride, threw open his
hreadbare coat and displayed the massive proportions
OF his chest "Thats all to the Turnveren. It's your
toys I'm talkn' about"
"Io, me wardrobe!' said Brute, and from the bot
tom Of a vouninous, battered Gladstone he dragged
two suits of tights patched darned, their tinse rayed
and furnished, which he held up proudly. "Ere it is"
he said, "and if Hi do say meself-"
"Dont' interrupted Maxey. Don't never knock

"Hany time you s'y," said Brute. "But in the

asking if Maxey could not give him "once over" of
Bruto's act the following day.

soules Is Successor To Candy.

Rapid City-According to ad-
varces received here, the name of
w. w. Soule of this city has been
sent to the general land office for
receiver of the local u S. land
office to succeed Harry L. Candy
who becomes congressman March
4. This is another step in a spirit
ed fight for the Office, as Candy
had endorsed Tom L. Johnson of
White Owl, Meade county news
paperman and U S. commissioner
there, while the state democratic
administration and Senator elect
E. S. Johnson are behind Soule.
Friends of Soule maintain that
sending his name to the senate ends
the fight but Johnson's hackers
allege that it is only the beginning.

NO SHOOTING
THIS SPRING
Hunters Will Not BE Allows
ed to Hunt According
to New Law.

Many inquiries are being sent to
the state game Wardeis regarding
spring hunting of migratory birds.
Some hunters a1e of the opinion
that it is allowable while others
are not so certain, The following
article in the Mitchell Gazette of
recent date seems to solve the sit
uatlon.
From the number of letters which
they have received OH the subject
recently, officials of the department
believe that sportsmen may unln-
ternationally violate the provisions
of the federal migratory law, which
it is the purpose of the govern.
ment to enforce rigidly.
Under the provisions of this law
no Waterfowl can be shot i'll the
northern breeding zone after Janu-
arv IS, except in New Jersey where
the season extends to February /.
In most of the southern or winter
ing zone the season closes Febru-
airy |, but eNtedns to February Is
in Florida, Georgia and South Car
olina.
These regulations were proclaim
ed OH October /, 1914. No change
has since been made i'll them, and
no change is likely to be made un-
til the constitutionalty of the law
has been passed on by the United
States supreme court.
As matter of fact, the law pro
vides that all changes in the regu
Ilations must be considered for a
peroid of 90 days and then must be
approved and signed by the presi-
dent before they become effective.
=. 1t is thus evident that there is no
possibility that the prohibition of
spring shooting will be i'll any way
modified this year.
The officials of the department
who are intrusted with the enforce
ment of the law are anxious that
these facts be impressed upon the
!. people because it is the intention to
investigate carefully all reports of
violations made to the departments
inspectors and wardens and to
prosecute all such violations in the
federal courts. In this connec-
, ton it is pointed out that prosecute
: may be instituted at any time with
in three years of the offense.

Telephone and Telegram Mixed Up

Peever-A rather peculiar elec-
trical phenomenon has developed in
the telegraph Office of the local
station which might develope to the
commercial advantage of some i'm
ventive genius.
Recently the telegraph wire be-
tween here and Sisseton was put
into use for telephone purposes,
connecting this line with the main
line. The phenomenon consists of
the fact that all telephone messages
passing over this line are heard at
the Telegraph station through the
telegraph key without anything
resembling a telephone receiver or
any of its appurtances.

PRIMARY
REGISTRATION
House and Senate Pass New
Registration Law for
Primaries.

State Capital Bureau Under
the plan of the act passed by
the senate registration of voters
for participation in party prim-
aries, while it is to be compul-
sorry, nevertheless, is to be made
as easy as possible. Every op-
portunity for convenient access
to the registration book is to be
had and for those persons who
are not able to go to them, a plan
for registration by postal card is
provided.
The primary elections are
held in this state on the second
Tuesday Of June. No person
who is not registered may vote
at them and the time to register
is from December l to May -
previous to the primary.
Beginning with December /
the registration books for all
parties will be at the county
auditors office. They will stay
there until February |, when
they are sent to the town and
township clerks and city auditors
who will keep them until the
third Tuesday in April, or until
the city election in special char
ter cities. Voters are to go to
the books While in their pre-
cincts and register before May |,
at which date the clerk has to
return them to the county audi
tor.
While the books are in the
hands of the local clerks they
are to be on hand for all local
elections and voters as they come
in are to have their attention call
ed to them so they may register
for the primaries. And after all
that if there are still some per-
sons who find that they are not
down on the list, they may go to
the clerk after the books have
been sent back and before Nav
s and register by signing a card
before another voter as a witness
and the clerk will send these in
and the auditor will enter up the
voter in the book as registered.
Now more than that, when the
clerk sends back the books to
the auditor he is to send in list
of all the voters in his precinct
who have not registered for the
primaries so far as he can learn
their names. When the auditor
gets this list he sends each one
a letter enclosing a registration
card and a stamped envelope. In
the letter he calls attention tC
the fact that the voter is not
registered and asks him to do sc
upon the card so that he may
have a chance to vote in the
primary.
In case the voter is absent
from the city during the period
of registration, but returns be
fore the primaries, he may be
registered if he applies to the
county auditor, makes an attida
Wit of his absence as the reason
he was unable to register befor.

until five days before the elec

from January l until the time o
his return after May II, is the
only excuse which will let MAJ
swear in his vote at the primary
