PROBATION IN
STARTING X

Pierre, Oct. 28.-At this season Of
the year especial care should be ex-
ercised to guard against prairie
fires. Because OF the abundant
growth of the native grasses during
the past summer, there is an especial
danger of devastating prairie fires,
destroying property and endanger-
ing human life. The Statutes Of
South Dakota prohibit the setting
on fire any grass or stubble at this
time of the year unless the same is
protected by a freguard at least
fifty feet wide, and violation of the
statute is punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment. Causing a prairie fire bv
carelessness is also punishable under
the South Dakota Laws. Caution
against this danger should be the
watchword Of everyone.

Commissioner Of Insurance.

MEXICAN FORCES
START BATTLE
Villa and Carranza i'm Finish
Fight Near u. s. Border

Douglas, Ariz.. Nov. 1.-The bat.
tie of Aqua Prieta began at noon
when the Villa army of between
10000 and $1,000 men advanced to
the attack Immediately after tie
artillery was brought up behind the
cavalry.
There were fifty large guns and
sixty machine guns in the first ranks
that hurled against the entrenched
Carranza forces huge quantities of
ammunition.
The Mexican refugees from. Aqua
Prieta began streaming across the
border with the opening of the bat
tie and were taken in charge by
United States troops and escorted
to the internment camp.
The battle began to clash at the
outposts a mile from the city. Short
ly after, the soldiers advanced from
their trenches. both sides advanced
in skirmish formation and the fight
ing became general over a wide
range of territory.

HAULING
ON r SCALE

After a week or more Of good
weather for threshing the roads are
lined by big triple box loads of
grain gong to market. These big
loads of rs to 100 bushels are pulled
by four horses abreast. The old
method of one team in front of the
other has been almost entirely aban-
doned because the four horses
abreast pull the load more evenly.
1t is not uncommon to e two
teams and two wagons full of grain
in charge of one driver, who drives
the front team and bitches the other
team pulling a second wagon be
hind the first. This is to conserve
human labor. which is the most ex-
pensive power we have to contend
with.
Prairie farmers today accomplish
about three or four times the
amount of work their fathers did in
eastern states. He does it by the
use of improved machinery, with
big horse power. and doubling up
bis own work so that it will count
tor the work of two or three men
of forty wears ago.

GROWTH OF FRUIT
IN SOUTH DAKOTA

The numerous cars of apples re-
ceived at Miller indicates a big crop
in the apple growing localities in
neighboring states. The time will
come when South Dakota will grow
her own apples-in fact. the older
localities in both eastern and west
ern counties Of the state have al
ready made quite a start in this
direction, as evidenced by the dis
play at the state fair.
1t is a we'll known fact that fruit
growing is not the work of the first
generation in newly settled localities.
This has been the experience in
nearly all states now producing
fruit. 1t appears to require two or
there generations of settlement and
development before the people or
the soil are ready to take up all of
the various productions possible in
any soil or climate.
But finally the producers begin to
discover that a variety of things can
be grown where they had thought
it impossible beforehand in a few
years time some kinds of fruit is the
result.
The best fruit, and the best vege-
tables produced in the world. are
those of the colder climates. Not
the largest. or ~handsomest. perhaps,
but the best in flavor.
For thirty years south Dakota has
been a very profitable market to
