Iillteracy in Foreign Countries.

The bureau of census of the de-.
partment of commerce has just pub
lished table giving the percentages
of illiteracy in most of the principal
countries of the world, the figures hav-
ing been brought as nearly up to
date as the available sources of in
formation permit.
Illiteracy statictics Of different coun-
tries are not always strictly compa-
rable, because the basis is not always
the same. Quite generally, however.
the percentage of illiteracy here given
is based upon the total population over
ten years Of age, which is the basis in
the United States, but sometimes it
is necessary to accept some other age
limit, and in several countries the
only available figures refer to litter
acy among army recruits or to that
shown by the marriage records.

Movement of Immigrants to This
state Is Discouraged for the
Present.

Pierre, March 16.-Immigration
Commissioner McCaffree is receiving
numerous inquiries as to how soon
it is safe to start emigrant cars for
this section of the northwest, many
of the inquiries expressing a desire
to start at once. Any such move
ment before the LIST of April is being
discouraged for the reason that just
at the present time most of the
northern and western part of the
state is covered with SO heavy a coat
of snow as TO make travel by teams
practically impossible. and the emf
grant arriving with a a could not
get his stock and goods out to his
location without a long wait and ad-
ditional expense. The inquiries in
dictate a strong emigrant movement
to the state this spring, and in fact
it has already started, several cars
of emigrants movables having pass
ed through here on their way to
points west, where they are tied up
temporarily. waiting for roads over
which they can move.

court, and entered a plea of guilty
to a statutory ~offense, on which he
was arrested about three weeks ago.
He was sentenced TO a term of eigh-
teen months in the Sioux Falls peni-
Tertiary. The defendants plea of
guilty saved Day county from holding

ly sensational.

months in the Day county jail on a
charge of forgery to which he enter

that time a new law was pending in
the legislature modifying the penalty
for forgery in South Dakota. Under
the law, as it stood in January. Judge
Bouck would have been compelled to
sentence the young man to five years
imprisonment. Under the provisions
OF the new law that was enacted by
the legislature and which contained
an emergency clause SO 1t now is in
effect. Judge Bouck was able to fix
the term of the defendant at six
months Imprisonment. McAvan was
the first prisoner in the state to be
benefited by the new law.

Smith Automobile Company
\ HOME OF THE FORD :: :: :: :: WEST FIFTH STREET

All automobile advertising today is a striking testimonial
that Henry Ford was right years ago when he built the first
light car. Automobile manufacturers see what Henry Ford
saw long since-that the light car is the car best adapted to
meet all conditions.
You can hardly read an adj today that doesn't make you
smile and say: There's another proof that Henry Ford has
been right all along"
You pick up a current magazine-you thumb its pages.
You glance through the automobile advertising. Manufacture
ers that formerly advertised the advantages of heavy cars
have bout faced and are now singing the song of the merit
of hghtness.
And it all proves that it has taken other manufacturers
ten years or more to see what Henry Ford saw during the
infancy of the automobile industry.
The Ford today is recognized as the standard light car the
world over. And it is the standard light car because Henry
Ford had the correct vision years before the others.
Call at our garage and let us show and demonstrate the
Ford to you.
