Skull. as Drinking Cups.

The old Scandinavian sages repre-
sent as among the delights of the i'm
mortals the felicity of feasting and
drinking to drunkenness from the
skulls of the foes they had vanquished
on earth. Vaudeville goes further, and
represents the Guebres as exposing
the dead bodies of their parents to the
fowls of the air until nothing but the
skeletons remained, and preserving
the skulls to be used as drinking cups.
If mans thermometer registers a
couple of degrees higher than the one
owned by his neighbor, that convinces
him that. it Is reliable.

DON'T FEED SPOILED sILAGE.

Do not feed spoiled silage to live stock,
suggests Professor G. Larsen, of the
State College, to inquirers who complain
Of an unusual amount Of poor silage this
year near the top of the silo. "The
moulds and bacteria which cause silage
to rot and decay produce, at times, poi
sonous by-products. The spoiled silage
should be hauled to some place in the
field to which the cattle do not have
access.
The spoiled silage results from air
entering near the surface, which is nat
ural, but not over six inches should be
spoiled. Shortly after filling the silo,
this top portion of the silage becomes
very hot, but extreme heat is not com
mon to silage a foot or two below the
surface.
"The amount Of spoiled silage may be
minimized by getting into the silo every
day during the fret week after filling
and trampNng it down very thoroughly.
The cut corn fodder in the silo settles
during the fret week. If there is not
any extra weight on top, the silage will
become loose and open, admitting air
near the surface.
This year the corn fodder was more
green than usual. 1t was immature and
contained large percentage Of water.
If the farmer was not careful to tramp it
down daily after filling, it may be seen
why there appears TO be more than the
usual amount of spoiled silage this year.

CHEER UP!

These are dark days for the world.
The shadow of the war is heavier than
ever on all hearts, whatever their SYM
pathies. There is little exutation now
even in victories, for we know at what
price OF blood and pain every victory is
won. But there are many things be-
sides war IN the world. Except for our
active imaginations, most of US would
feel life ranning on pretty much as usu.
al There ia the same sunshine, the
same life-giying air, the same autumn
colors in the woods, the same Joy in
bountiful harvests. There is the same
quiet satisfaction of soul that has always
come with the fall season, whether in
country or city. Here, in our Ameri-
can isolation, we can live out our lives
in spite of wars and rumors Of wars.
There is need, to be sure, Of taking
thought for the future, preparing against
the time when war may bring home to
US the wretchedness that we knew half
century ago and that Europe knows
today. But that lisa matter ofcalm deci-
sion, not for alarm and fear. We are
today the most fortunate nation in the
world. There is no reason why we can
not continue so. 1t is good time for
the nation TO take to heart the philosophy
that is preached so much today to indiv-
iduals-the philosophy Of confidence, of
optimism, of positive thought. 1t is
right and proper that we should feel the
woes of Europe, and it is our duty to
alleviate them all we can. But it is
wrong to let those woes weigh on our
splits until we lose our own buoyancy
and poise. II is better TO regard the war
as doctor or a nurse regards sickness
as something to be cured, whose cure can
be effected not through outbursts of SEN
timentalism but through intelligent and
cheerful service.

HUGE SUM In BANKS
Cash Deposits in Banks of South Dakota
Relieved to be Over One Hundred
Million Mark.

Pierre, Nov. 30.-That the deposits in
the banks Of South Dakota will show
over hundred million for the Novem.
ber call, when the summaries are COM
pleted, is practically certain from the
showings made by local banks. Local
reports all show material increases in
the deposits from the last previous CALI
when the showing was very near the
nine figure mark, and this increase is
practically certain to carry the figures
across the line. The immense crop of
this year, along with the growth of dairy
ing and The receipts from that source,
backed by hessie. shipments of cattle
and horse sales has brought the returns
TO South Dakota farmers in the past few
months to a higher point than has ever
been shown.

INDEMNITY LANDS
State Selection of Indemnity Lands Holds.
General Land Office holds Against
Attempt to Homestead.

Pierre, s. D., Nov. 27.-That the filing
rights of the state on government lands
are paramount is the holding of the
general land Office on an attempt to place
a homestead filing over state filing.
This came on test in Perkins county
where Johan 0. Jonsson attempted to
get title as a homestead claimant, to a
tract on which the state had made pre-
vious filing This action on the part of
Jonsson was under what appears 20 be a
general belief among homestead claim
ants that filings by the state are subor-
dinate to filings by homesteader. The
state holds large tracts in the northwest
counties of the state, especially in Hard.
ing county and in portions of Perkins,
Butte and Meade, these lands being
selected as indemnity for sections six
teen and thirty-six which were taken as
allotment claims by Indians. The set
tiers are not at all pleased with the ex-
tensive state filings and would be pleased
with any movement which would open
a way to get these lands into the hands
of individuals without paying the mini
mum state price for the tracts and while
they have long desired ruling on the
rights of the state, the Jonsson case has
been the first to be carried to the general
land Office and the rule is against the
settler.

NO EXTRAS FOR COUNTY BOARD.
Pierre, Nov. 26.-Dorble compensa-
ton cannot be drawn by county COM
missioners for supervision Of road work,
is the holding Of the attorney generals
department on inquiry as to conditions
in Sanborn county. 1t appears that the
commissioners of that county had been
acting as supervisors of road work, for
which they drew compensation from the
road fund, in addition to their compen-
saton from the county, which is limited
by statute to $500 per year. The hold.
ing is that the limit stands, and their
compensation must come from the gem
eral fund at $500 per day up to the $500
Limitation, which is all they may draw
from the county.
1t is also held on inquiry from Ziebach
county, that the sheriff is entitled to a
fee Of 200 for each return of collection
of personal property tax, which has been
placed in his hands for collection. The
issue appeared to be what was meant by
the word return" in the new statute
and this is construed by the state legal
department to mean each individual
return, the same to be charged to the
party from whom such collection is
made, it being the intent of the law that
the county shall incur no additional ex-
pense in collecting past due personal
taxes.
