FARMERS MAY HOLD GRAIN
r TO FIGHT GUT IN PRICES

Aberdeen. s. D., Sept. 4.-Reports are
coming in from farmers all over the
state that, owing to the big drop In
the price of grain during the past
month, and also owing to the big spread
between local card prices and the prices
paid for grain at wholesale points
farmers have decided to hold their
grain themselves until better prices
prevail, instead OF selling their wheat
at the present low prices. In order TO
do this, farmers are putting up large
granaries on their farms.
Between August ! and August 80
there was a drop of 38 cents in the
local card prices paid for No, north
ern wheat. and drop Of 45 cents In
the Minneapolis top price for this same
grade Of grain. Between August and
30, 1914, there was an increase of ID
cents on local card prices, and an In
crease OF 81 cents on Minneapolis quo
tations for this grain.

VAN DENMARK ALSO TALKS
ON 400 IREt uERnIH

Mitchell, s. D., Sept. 6.-Ssnator w.
Il. Van Denmark was today interviewed
regarding the judgment secured by
him In the Holsaple libel case, and
made the following statement: a.
Tt is true that Rev. r. N. Holsaple
yesterday paid into court the sum OF
$99 and costs, the amount OF the libel
Judgment rendered against him in Jus
tice Carpenters court. My attention
has been called to his interview in
Thursdays paper giving his reasons
for making this payment rather than
defending the case on its merits.
1T Is conceded that the amount in
volved is insignificant; that Rev. Mr.
Holsaple's time is valuable; that he
could not change the place of trial to
Dawson county and that the case
would have to be tried before Han
son county jury.
But the charge brought against Rev
Mr.. Holsaple was not insignificant
and 1t Is strange that one occupyina
his position should be too busy to meet
It, The hbelous article was appar;
emily written for the information OF
the voters OF Hanson and McCook
counties and 1t is hard to understand
why Rev. Mr.. Holsaple should be afraid
to submit to these same voters the
truthfulness of the article.
TN the complaint filed II wal
charged that Rev. Mr.. Holsaple pub.
concerning the support given certain
legislation in the senate. He was In
vited to appear before a Hanson county
Jury and verify the article published
In the American Issue. Evidence Of the
truth Of the statements made by him
would have been an absolute defense.

vote on each bill, would have fur
nished the facts and would have shown
