 The question of continuing diplo- matic relations may be said to trend upon q satisfactory reply to Secretary Lapsing:s rote which now probably is before the Vienna foreign office, demanding q disavoWal of the sinking If the Ancona, reraraton for the lives lost and assurances that passenger ships shall not be attacked without warning or any opportunity for nom combatants to take places of safety.

PICK seed CORN
ADVICE Is GIVEN TO THE FARM
ERS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

Brookings, Sept. 23.-"There may
be enough glazed and slightly denied
seed corn today in the fields of South
Dakota to plant next years crop.
Don't overlook it," says A. N. Hume,
state college agronomist. There is
danger that we will be trying south
ern seed next spring. IL you can only
pick and save fifteen ears of seed
corn, you provide for al acre of next
years crop. Milky corn will not
make seed; ii has to become glazed
and beginning to dent. Only some or
the low growing ears are glazed and
beginning to dent. They ought to be
picked for seed.
Another thing. There is a con-
siderable amount of last years seed
still In storage. A man from Bush
nell yesterday telephoned in to ask
whether he had better save some old
seed corn over till next spring. l
told him to saw every ear of il. IL
it is well stored it will lose only
about Is per cent in vitality In n
yea The man inquired especially
whether he should shell b old seed
corn and sack it for storage. He was
advised to store 1t without shelling.
Ear corn is somewhat more bulky,
but generally retains vitality better
and longer than after it is shelled.
North Dakota, it is said, is done
making corn over two-thirds OF her
area. Minnesota and Wisconsin have
suffered several killing frosts in sew
eral sections. Even Iowa has not es-
capped. II by any chance we pick seed
corn in excess of what we need TO
use, and sell to our immediate neigh
bors, 1t will be worth SO per busnel
to market In adjoining states"

FUGITIVE CAUGHT
Iowa Sheriff Has An Experience i'm
Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls. Sept. &c. w. Graf
ton, deputy sheriff from Page county.
Iowa, arrived in Sioux Falls last Sat
urday, searching for n Earl Smell,
wanted in Iowa as a fugitive from
justice. 1t seems that Smell had been
arrested in Iowa, and while out on
bail had skipped out. The Iowa
sleuth came to the city and did not
go to the trouble of taking the local
officials into his confidence. He saw
his man on the street and undertook
with his father who lives on First
avenue. and the two put up a fight
which was successful in permitting
the son to get under cover.
The Iowa sheriff then went TO the
local police and took them into his
confidence. An automobile was Sc
cured, and a man hunt started which
resulted In the arrest of young Smell,
who had hidden in some high weeds
along the Omaha right of way.
Smell is now in the county jail
awaiting extradition papers. He is
wanted on the charge of holding up
a man in Page county for $50.
The Iowa sheriff wanted to have
the elder Smell arrested fer Interior
ing with an officer, but was informed
that he was not an officer in the eyes
of the South Dakota law.

Aberdeen, Sept. 23.-Since this

county and Aberdeen in the last
month.
Five cases are set for trial on the

them. One of the men dropped a
package containing ten pints of whis-
ky. This confirmed the suspicious OF
Mr.. Jensen, who finally rounded them
up, relieving them of forty more
pints. The men were disposing OF
the liquor to threshing crews in this
vicinity. Upon arraignment they

RICHARDS Law
SUPREME COURT DESIGNATES
OCTOBER rs AS THE DAY
OF HEARING.

Pierre, Oct. 15.-The supreme
court signed an order fixing the date
of oral arguments in the Richards
primary case" for the 18th of Octo-
Der, on which date an array of coun-
sci will be present both for and
against the contention that the legis-
lature has no right to amend or re-
peal an act which has been initiated
and adopted by a vote of the people.
This case is one not only of statewide
Importance, but is being discussed by
the press of many other states. where
the initiative is a part of their system
of law making. The issue has never
been squarely raised up TO this time
and the decision of the court of this
state will no doubt have a bearing on
the same class of legislation in other
states. There has been more or less
press comment over the delay in get
ting this case before the court, but
this has been on account of the attor-
neys for the Richards contention not
being ready to present their briefs,
and asking for time for that purpose,
with the 18th being set as the last
day for them to get in.

Young Boy Saves Life of Companion
When Clothes Catch Fire.

Hot Springs, Oct. 15.--The pres
ence of mind of a boy companion in
turning a hose on him saved the life
OF Floyd Phillips, the 14-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. r. Phillips,
when his clothing was set on fire.
The Phillips boy was experimenting
with gasoline and was trying to put
out a fire which had started nearby
when the can containing the gasoline
exploded and dashed the burning

friend thought OF the hose and the
flames were speedily extinguished,
but not until the Phillips boy was
badly burned. He will ecover.
