The three lame ducks" for
whom positions have been pro-
vided, according TO the Signal.
This charge is a serious one. Re-
publican officials should be called
to account if they are providing
snaps for the lame and the halt.
The Republican party i'm Idaho
cannot afford to have the charge
so unrefuted. This charge, how
ever, is of minor Importance i'm
comparison with the following,
which is a part of the article i'm
question:
Another interesting bit or
news comes TO light just at this
time and that is that Jenness is
not TO be removed To make a place
for Clifford, Notwithstanding at
least three members of the state
land board promised Clifford near
ly a year ago To give him the
place. Those i'm a position to-
know have said all along that
Jenness would not be removed;
lhathc knew too much and they
did not dare to fire him.
During the last campaign the
fact was brought to public att
ttntion that Register Jenness had
borrowed money from the state
end that ne was in arrears i'm his
interest payments. We did not
think much OF the disclosure az
that time. However. if Mr.. Jen-
ness knows so much that the
members of the state land board
dare not discharge him from Of
flee it is high time that there
were a sweeping Investigation.
The affairs of the state of Ida
mo should not be handled by men
who hold an advantage The
officers of the state should not be
men who can successfully DE
blackmailed. The Tribune is
loath to believe the charge made
by the Signal 10 is too serious.
We do know that The public SER
vice and the reputation of the
state would not suffer by the re-
moval of Jenness. The members
of the state land board had bet
ter carry out their promises ia
Clifford, or better still find some
one other than a lame duck Go
handle the Office. If Jenness
knows too much the people of
Idaho want to know it, and they
want TO know what he knows
/ Sooner or later they are going t.
find out. The state land boarC
can clear itself at once by max
ing the change suggested Cald-
| we'll # ribune.

be fit for seed, and our farmers will
likely be in a position to supply a good
ly portion of the seed that will be re-
CURED in other sections where the crop
was almost a failure and where the
percentage of corn that is fully ma

small. The farmer that has a good
supply of last years crop left has a
little gold mine, and we are told that
there is a considerable amount Of old
corn still in the cribs in this county
One farmer told us the other day that
he had several hundred bushels of last
years corn in reserve, and that his
1915 crop would yield a large percent
age Of the very best of seed corn. Iowa
is going to want a good lot of seed
corr next year, and little old South

to fill the demand.

MRS. LUCINDA BUTCHER

Aberdeen News, Saturday, December
II, 1915.-At $50 o'clock this morning
at st. Luke's hospital where she was
taken for an operation a week ago TO
day, Mrs. Lucinda c. butcher, mother
of the late Ward +. butcher and OF
Paul butcher OF B~rookings, passed
away, aged 81 years, . months and 16
days.
Lucinda c. Mattice was born in
Schoharie county, New York, on Sep
TENDER 25, 1881, and was a %granddaugh.
ter of Frederick Mattice, one Of the
early settlers of New York, and a niece
of Governor Bouck, at one time leading
Democratic politician of New York.
She was of Holland Dutch stock, the
stock that has helped so largely in
making New York state and city.
In 1861 she was married to Curtis f..
butcher, and they moved to Wisconsin.
Two sons, Ward f. and Paul, were
born to them, and in 1872, on April 5,
Mr.. butcher died and his widow was
left to bring up her two sons, then but
little boys. She had taught school be-
fore her marriage and resumed that oc-
cupation after her husbands death.
Later. when her sons, grown TO man
hood, removed to South Dakota, she
accompanied them, making her home
with her son Ward until his death. A
week ago she was taken suddenly i'll
with strangulated hernia. She was
hurried to the hospital where an opera
ton was performed, but owing to her
advanced age she did not rally from
the operation, steadily growing weaker
until the end came today.
Mrs. butcher was a strong-minded,
well-read woman. and until her fatal
illness kept up with national affairs
and current events.
Paul butcher. publisher of the
Brookings Register, who arrived here
last Saturday, stayed with his mother
until the end, and this afternoon left
with the body for Waterloo, Wis,
where it will be laid to rest beside her
husband, who passed away so long ago.
Mr.. butcher wishes the News TO
state for him that he appreciates the
kindness extended to him by the man
agement of st. Luke's hospital, and to
the few old time friends of his mother
who sent in flowers and extended sym

The biggest Ford joke is Henry him
self. Until the war broke out many
people regarded the Detroit auto king
as a superhuman man; they had en-
tirely forgotten a dozen years ago Ford
was just a plain ordinary mechanic no
better versed on worldly affairs than a
man at the next bench. Still in a short
dozen years, with his mind e~ngrossed
in other fields, Ford has seen fit t o rem
der final judgment on matters he neces-
sarily knows little about. The Euro
pean wal has been his undoing. He
has fastened to venture an opinion on
all the big angles of the war and every
interview has only added to the en-
barrassment of his friends and asso-
ciates. His comment has shown a
brutal lack of knowledge and now he
is at the peak of Righteousness when
he proposes to take over a boat of
pacitists and symathetic ONE to
wind up the war by Christmas. We
trust the craft does not meet the fate
of the Lusitania but we are opposed to
this government following this Utop-
ian squad of notoriety seekers in the
event Of complications, If any arise,
because of their foolhardy venture.

Times do certainly change and very
rapidly too. People used to think that
a SIS buggy was an extravaganza. The
farmer who bought an extra spring
seat for his wagon was looked upon as
an extravagant man. Then the farm
ers ventured to go so far as to buy
spring wagons. which represented an
extreme OF luxury. And when they
came to top buggies the extravaganza
was completed. But nowadays they
pay readily ten or twenty times what
a top buggy used to cost and they
seem to be getting along financially
too. Times and customs change and
the changes have been nowhere
sudden or radical than here in South
Dakota. The automobile has wrought
the greatest Of all changes. and while
some evils come out Of the craze for
automobiles. we believe that also much
good will come from the habit. The
social life Of the people has been great
ly improved. We have less isolation
and less OF discomfort on the farms, for
those on the farms are no longer either
shut h or shut out.

FOR THE COUNTRY MERCHANT

According to the Registers Washing
ton correspondent, the reputable mer-
camille interests of the country are ex-
pecting to find relief from the evils of
cut-throat competition INDUCED in by
some Of the big city stores and the
mail order houses, through the Stevens
bill, which appears certain to pass the
present session of congress. Mr.. Ed
mond A. Whittier, secretary Of the
American Fair Trade League says that
nearly ITS members of congress have
voluntarily declared that they will sup
port the bill. The proprietors of two
of the biggest department stores in
New York City have joined the ranks
of the Stevens bill advocates within a
week, and announce that they are tired
and disguised with the dishonest meth.
DDS by which trade is sought through
cutting prices OF standard articles of
merchandise and making it up" on in
ferior goods which are sold az prices
far above their value. The sentiment
among the congressman who have re-
turned to Washington clearly indi-
Gates that they feel that the time has
come for the federal government to
help enforce responsibility in merchanr

On account of SO many automobile
accidents in that city the Sioux City
Journal recently asked, What are we
going to do about it," The Register
believes that if the lawmakers would
by a stringent penalty of Imprisonment
n that would amount to something
instead OF a nominal fine, make drivers
of automobiles realize that alcohol and
gasoline are a dangerous mixture,
there would be fewer accidents record
ed throughout the country as a result
of reckless joy riding.

Brookings merchants have made
special preparations for the Christmas
trade and shoppers are realizing more
every day that best values are secured
right here at home. 4 man once said
that he didn't buy at home because the
home merchant didn't carry the stock
Of goods that he desired to select from:
that he couldn't get what he wanted
out Of the stock available in his local
ity. Let us analyze this and learn if i
really constitutes an argument. In the
first place should he send away for
goods, selected upon the word Of an
expert catalog writer, what assurance
does he have that they will b what he
wanted? Rather, the chances are de-
cidedly against him coming within Il
mile Of getting just exactly what his
fancy desired. Again from another
angle, If this same person had given
his patronage TO the home man, and
thereby created a demand and a bus;-
ness for the class of goods he wanted,
the home merchant would have been
so burned glad to stock with these
goods he would have paid the whole
sale house the regular price and Dor
rowed the money at the bank so that
he could have extended credit accom-
mediation to that particular customer.
If there is a demand there'n be a sup
ply.

Some fairly startling developments
are taking place in both the cattle and
grain markets these days. Due TO the
corn shortage, there are more cattle
in the Chicago yards today than there
have been in years past. Growers are
rushing their live stock to market as
fast as they can crowd them in, for
they have TO corn TO feed them
through the winter. This fact would
indicate that live stock prices will be
on the downward for a time at least.
but the resultant cattle shortage in
the long run will work to the benefit
Of those who have both stock and feed
and are able to winter their cattle.
Eastern parties have been in various
sections of this state trying TO buy up
our old corn, and find that they cannot
cur enough to wad a shotgun at
prices that would make feeding profit
the state farmers are demanding as
high as SO and 81 a busheel for last
years corn, and much of it has been
sold at 50 and SO. With the goodly
price now obtaining for wheat and
ONE other small grains, it begins to
look as though our Brookings county
farmers. especially those who are rails
ing stock, corn and wheat, were going
tural situation. At least, very few of
them have much to worry about under
the present conditions.
