WARDEN SYSTEM A SUCCESS
Big Increase i'm Receipts of the Game
Department.

Pierre, Aug. 23.-After two years
under the state game warden system
in place of the county system, which
vas in operation until two years ago,
the department shows an increase of
practically $4,000 in receipts in the
second year under the state system,
as compared with the last year under
the county system, the receipts of
1913. The receipts for the 1914 ifs
cal year are $~34,434.35. For the
present year of 1914, 26,221 resident
licenses were taken out, and during
the past year 30,943, these at 81
each. The department sold for the
last year 562,445 pounds of non-game
fish. The last year under the county
system, with sixty-one wardens in the
field, there were ifty-six arrests and
forty-three convictions. For the 1914
fiscal year, the first under the state
system, with eight wardens in the
field, five of these for the hunting
season only, there were seventy-nine
arrests and sixty-six convictions. and
for the 1915 fiscal year with the same
force, there were ninety-seyen arrests
and seventy-seven convictions.

MODERN TORPEDO
TERRIBLE WEAPON WEIGHS
$500 POUNDS AND COSTS
FROM $4,000 TO $4,000.

Washington, Aug. 23.-The up TO
date torpedo is a loaded automobile,
shaped like a cigar, made TO run in a
certain direction in a fixed time and
explode when it strikes something
that offers sharp resistance. A re-
liable one, properly equipped with
explosives and running gear. costs
from $4,000 to $1,000, according to
size. A large torpedo is 23 feet
long, 81 inches i'm diameter and
weighs $500 pounds, and it tears a
hole 80 by 10 feet in the bottom of a
ship of two skins.
THE torpedo" said an expert of
the navy, has four principal parts
the warhead, which carries the eX-
p~losive; the air flask, or fuel cham
Der; the engine and the steering gear
and the balance chamber. The eX-
plosive head is filled with some high
explosive-gun cotton, etc, and is
provided with a percussion d%etonator.
This strikes a hard or solid substance
and the explosion goes off instant
aneously.
THE explosive head is the fore
most compartment of the torpedo and
contains the deadly charge and the
pistol with which it is fired. Gun cot
ton and nitroglycerine are the high
explosives generally used for subma-
rine purposes. There are many 9th
ers, but these form the foundation
for most of them. Gunpowder of the
sort used by the country boy to shoot
a rabbit or a squirrel is no longer
used. The high explosive is more
powerful than ~gunpowder. Gunpow-
der burns quicker than the high ex-
plosive, and ii splutters around il
scattered on the ground, but it ex.
plodes If confined in a close place
The high explosive will burn If you
stick a match to it, but not Sc easily
as gunpowder. A sudden blow viii
apply heat to an explosive and SCI
it off.
THE explosive head strikes thu
bottom of a ship and a defamation
not an explosion takes place. This
mass of high explosive seems to ex
plode at once, and that is what is de
sired, as the most sudden blow viii
knock a hole in the ship. Guncottor
Is detonated by illuminate of mercury
which when ignited by a blow, ex
pands $500 times its original size
The sudden expansion gives a blow tt

GERMANS SECOND
FIGURES ON POPULATION OF
SOUTH DAKOTA BY NATION
ALITIES GIVEN OUT.

Pierre, Aug. 23.--In the taking of
the present state census, for the first
time an effort has been made to Sc
cure the ancestry of the residents of
the state. This developed n feat
ure, that many of those who are
classed as Russians in the general
census, are in fact of pure German
blood and ancestry. Those classed
as American or Canadian are those
whose ancestry has been so long in
these countries that any foreign blood
of other countries has been lost track
of. In percentages the Americans
stand at 1913 per cent and the Ger
mans 1t 22.4 per cent, with others
ranging so low that the percentage
would be only a trace" In numbers
the showing is: African, 1922; Amer

So far as is known no previous
census of any state, or any federal
census has taken a detailed enumera-
ton of the extent of education of the
country-that is. to such extent as to
show difference in common school ed

296,053 persons i'm South Dakota
have had common school education;
27,345 have had high school; 3,178
normal training, 1871 college train
ing, these being not yet finished with
college work, and that in addition
5000 are college graduates. In con
nection with the subject of education,
the census shows that there are 3,134
illiterates in the state and 428,S40
literate people. making South Da-
kota's per cent of illiteracy 10, which
is very small compared with other
states. South Dakota has 164 blind

ROY DOUGAL, WHO WAS ABOARD
THE HL-FATED ARABIC.

There is every probability that Roy
Dougal, grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Byrne of this city, a passenger on the
Inflated Arabic, vas saved. A Wash
ington dispatch says: Roy Dougal,
the Lamberton, Mimi, boy who was
gotten out of the British army by
Ambassador Page, is reported for the
first time i'm any list of Arabic sur
vivors. His name appears in the New
York Times list of the t~hirty-eight
third class passengers saved. The
state department has no information
about him or his present where
abouts. All il has is the ambassa-
doris report that he expected to sail
on the Arabic" Mr.. Byrne, the
grandfather, states that the lad, who
is a minor. enlisted at Edmonton,
Canada. His mother, who had re-
ceived letters from him, states in let
ters to her father. that the boy be
came heartily sick of the hardships OF
his position in the British army and

This she did by taking the case to the
United States state department and
proving that the boy was under age
and his release followed through the
representations of United States Am

STATE BANK RULING
BANKERS FIGURE SOUTH DA-
kOTA WILL GAIN MATE
RALLY BY 1T.

Mitchell, Aug. 23.-That South Da-
kota will be materially proited by the
decision of the state bank commits
sion and public examiner that here
after state banks must deposit so per
cent of their reserve with other state
banks in this state, is the announce
ment made in local financial circles.
Heretofore ii has been the custom
of state banks in South Dakota TO
send from Is to % per cent of their
reserve to banks in Sioux City and
Minneapolis. These banks would in
turn send a large per cent of their
reserve to Chicago, and from Chicago
the trend of money was towards the
clearing house of America, Wall
street.
This departure of $1,000, 600 an
nually from South Dakota made il
difficult for South Dakotans to draw
money on loans, but under the new
order of things, this money which has
been going out of the state, will now
be deposited with banks in the larger
cities of South Dakota-Sioux Falls,
Aberdeen, Mitchell, Huron. Lead and
other cities of like size.
This, il is stated, will make money
easier to secure, and will tend to bet
ter financial conditions throughout
the state.

THRIFTY FARMER
HE MAINTAINED A MUDHOLE
AND DID A LUCRATIVE
BUSINESS.

WATERFOWL, Aug. ga farmer
residing near Henry had a most lu-
~crative business for the past two or
three months until ii was brought to
a sudden end the other day by Maui
rice A. Hickman, a prominent local
architect.
Hickman passed this farmers
place twice within a week while out
looking after the county bridge work,
and each time had to have his auto
mobile hauled out of a mudhole in
front of this farmers house, the
farmer performing the service each
time for a stipend of SO. There had
been no rain to speak of between the
two visits to that section of the coun-
ty, so the last time Hickman grew
suspicious that the mudhole was not
as innocent as il appeared.
Completing the inspection of the
bridge in that neighborhood, Hook
man drove to within a quarter OF a
mile from the farmers house that
evening, and quietly approached the
spot. Towards dusk he had his sus-
picions verified for along came Mr..
Farmer and his two sons on a tank
wagon, and when they had finished
emptying out the water from their
wagon, there was as pretty a mudhole
as any motorist would wish to keep
out of.
Hickman then made his presence
known, demanded and was given
! back his Sc and warned the farmer

MORNING fire
KEROSENE OIL STOVE STARTS
FIRE IN WM. GABERT'S
KITCHEN.

An alarm of fire was turned in
about 8 o'clock this mcrning, calling
the fire department to the residence
of VIM. Gabert in West Fifth street.
The fire originated in the kitchen
from a kerosene oil stove, and the
blaze had gained considerable head
way before the firemen arrived. The
furniture had been hurriedly re-
moved from the house and dense
smoke from the burning oil stove per-
vaded the building. Water was turn
ed on from the mains and the fire was
soon subdued. The damage consists
in charring the walls of the kitchen
and also from water and smoke. Mr..
Gabert is employed by Contractor
Robertson as head bricklayer.

TOURING BANKERS
SIZE UP SOUTH DAKOTA CROPS
FARMERS WATCHING MAR
kET PROSPECTS.

Minneapolis Journal: Vice Presi-
dent Joseph Chapman of the North
western National bank, ii. ID. Thrall.
secretary of the Minnesota Loan and
Trust company, and j. c.. Bassett,
president of the Aberdeen National
bank, Aberdeen, are back today from
an automobile tour of South Dakota
grain fields.
South Dakota has one and one
half to two times a normal CROP
Mr.. Chapman said.
In Brown, Sphinx, Faux and Hand
counties we saw spring wheat being
threshed that weighed GA pounds to
the bushel, and saw yields hal run
20 to 80 bushels to the acre. Such
yields are common. One farmer
brought into Aberdeen wheat that
had yielded him % bushels to the
acre and got $1.07 a bushel for 1t.
In Redfeld we saw oats being
marketed that had gone so to 90
bushels to the acre and learned of
one authentic case of a yield of 102
bushels TO the acre.
Farmers are letting their grain
lie in shock nearly everywhere. Prac-
tically everything is cut, but there
has been little threshing so far.
Economy and labor scarcity prompt
shock threshing. Every farmer is go
ing on the basis that he will be able
to get a threshing outfit busy on his
own land while good weather holds.
The Omaha, Milwaukee, Minneapolis
& St. Louis roads are each dropping
about 500 men a day into South Da-
kota. Many Of them will not work
after they get there. Still the labor
situation Is better than in some past
years.
Corn is racing with frost. Won
derful progress has been made i'm the
past two weeks. The crop will be big
il 1t natures. Last year early frost
came about October /. It will take
until September 90 to mature the
corn.
THE magnitude of the labor in
volved in handling the crop, getting
il threshed and to stations and on the
cars and to market is impressive. II
will take much money to finance it.
I'VE tried to learn sentiment re
garding marketing or holding back o.
wheat. We found farmers talking oi
the Dardanelles, of the ocean bottom
problem, of the report that Canada
crop will be taken as a whole by Eng
land of other reports. The farmers
are absolutely up TO date. We coulc
not learn that there is any genera
decision one way Or the other, but
there is no doubt that where a farmer
has grain ready TO market at this
time he is generally DESTROYS of turn
ing il into cash.
We met a Montana men who is Z

if we thought South Dakota's croI
wonderful we ought to see Montana
He also said that Washington has al
enormous crop. South Dakota farm
ers who have lived in the state TWEEN
ty and twenty-five years told us tina
there never has been anything ever
approaching the present crop in size.
