OPERATING
Attorney General Makes Ruling Re
garding Agricultural Extern
sion Work.

Pierre, May Under the new act
providing for agricultural extension
work in the counties, and aid from
the state and the government, Attor-
ney General Caldwell holds: 1T is
my opinion that the local association
must reserve from direct cooperation
with the county supervision fund suf-
ficient funds to provide suitable Of
fees, conveyance, and other necessary
expenses, which are not covered by
the project agreement (between the
state and government) and that
county associations are not legally
entitled to apportionment from the
county supervision fund upon the
amount necessary to defray operation
expenses which are not covered by
the project agreement" Some coun-
ties have been inquiring whether if
they raised as much money as pos
sible and sen it all in to the state
treasurer, upon which of course, they
would thus receive a larger similar
aid from the state and government,
it would be possible for them TO re-
ceive from the state treasury then

the movement. In further connec-
ton with the ruling that this cannot
be done and that funds must be saved
out for operation before sending. to
the state treasury, the attorney gen
eral also holds that the act specific
ally requires the expense of providing
suitable offices, conveyance and other
necessary expenses, which are not
covered by the project agreement to
be paid from the funds appropriated
by the county commissioners" War
rants drawn against funds in the
state treasury under this act must be
approved by the regents of education,
and they cannot legally approve
vouchers which are not covered by
the project agreement.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, May special: The
extent of the Austro-German victory
in the Carpathians is indicated in the
German official communication, i'm
which the statement is made that the
third fortified line of the Russians
had been pierced by the Teutonic al
lies; hat the Russians are beginning
to %evacuate positions on their north
ern flank, southwest of Dukla, and
that the Russian prisoners taken
number more than 10000.
The Russian official statement
says the fighting in Galicia between
the Vistula and the Carpathians is
characterized by great stubbornness;
that the Germans have brought up
fresh troops of great strength to the
fighting line, with much artillery,
and that the Germans attacking in
massed formation are suffering
enormous losses"
The Russian war office admits that
several nights ago some of the Rus
sian units fell back to the second line
of Notifications. No late report is
given respecting these particular OPP
erations.
In the western theater an attack on
Hill No. 60, to the southeast of Ypres
held by the British, was partially sue
cessful, an official communication
from the British war office saying
that 1.-The Germans attained a footing
(there) under the cover of poisonous
gases, which were extensively used,
and we're favored by weather condi-
tons"
Other attacks by the Germans were
repulsed, both by British and by the
French at various points along the
front.
Ten British trawiers have beer
sunk by German submarines during
the past tw~enty-four hours, bringing
the total since Sunday up to fifteen
Many OF the trawlers made an efforI
to escape and, as a matter of fact
some did escape, reaching port IL
safety.
Official information respecting thu
operations in the Dardanelles is beint

been made. Meanwhile, it is unoffi

Don't Hide Them with a Veil; Re-
move Them with the Othine
Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually SO sue
cessful in removing freckles and Civ
ing a clear, beautiful complexion that
IL is sold by druggists under guar
antee to refund the money If 1T fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a
veil; get an ounce of othine and re-
move them. Even the first few APP
plications should show a wonderful
Improvement, some of the lighter
freckles vanishing entirely.
BE sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine; it is this that
is sold on the money-back guarantee.

FIRST DROW
Two Residents of Town of Clear Lake
Are Drowned While Fishing.

Clear Lake, May IL. A. O'Brien
and James Eberts, both of this place,
were drowned in the lake here. The
two with Mel Miller rowed across the
lake in the afternoon in a leaky boat
for a fishing trip and started home
about dusk. Miller refused to get in
the boat coming back, and started
back around the lake afoot, keeping
watch of the other fellows in the lake
until 1t got too dark in the rain and
mist to see them. The dog that was
with the other two in the boat met
Miller when he got on this side of the
lake, and he went back hunting for
the others, thinking some danger had
befallen them. The people in the
town were notified and numerous
searching parties were out all night
and the next day. The body of Eberts
was found late Tuesday afternoon.
The lake is still being dragged for
O'Brien. So far as known to the old
est settlers, this is the first time Clear
Lake has had a victim by drowning,
and this is a double tragedy.
Mr.. O'Brien is a man somewhere
about 81 years of old. He leaves a
wife and two children, and was at the
time of his death running a restau-
rant. His wife is the daughter of
Gust Brandt. a wealthy farmer in the
western part of this county. Eberts
was a young man of about 20, coming
here from Wisconsin a year ago. His
parents arrived here TO claim the
body. The lake was never higher
than at the present time and is very
treacherous.

EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Part of Massachusetts Space to BE
Used for Corn Display.

Pierre, May Unexpected good
luck has fallen in the way of this
state and South Dakota will have an
exhibit at the Panama exposition aft
er all. though ii had been practically
believed impossible to arrange for.
Efforts before the legislature to get
an appropriation two years ago for a
South Dakota building failed entirely
later a commission vas formed and
it tried TO raise money for the pur-
pose in various ways throughout the
state by public subscription, but was
unsuccessful, so the building was
given up. However, through a very
sudden change in the plans of Massa-
ch1setts. the state of South Dakota is
given sixty feet of the most desirable
wall space in the whole agricultural
building of the fair, and consequently
an exhibit of orr particularly, and
other grains will be shipped from
this state on about the 9Th, and will
be placed for exhibit. AS the space
is free only the transportation of the
exhibit will cost the state any money.
and this is to be arranged for from
the immigration department. The ex-
hibit will be next to the Massachu-
sets space, and the California for
estry exhibit, while across from ii
will appear the exhibits of Indiana
and Louisiana. immigration Com
missioner McCaffree who has attend
ed all the big exhibits of the country
for the past two years, is firmly OF
the opinion that there will be no bun

Education represents a training in

Education is enlarged sympathy

Are men in peril Of being too

Education stands for fitting boy

Education consists in the discipline

les. Those who know him best
declare that he is the most
punctual man who has ever
been in the official life of
Washington; that only the in
tcrvention of fate can prevent
him from being on time for an
appointment.
Punctuality is an asset that
many discount. Too many pub
lie officials, too many business
men, too many private indi-
viduals are careless in the mat
ter Of being on time.
A man who is punctual is al
most always efficient. Punctu-
ality suggests system and orr
der. It speaks Of alertness and
energy. 1t indicates a value
placed upon ones own time
and a consideration for the
time Of others. 1t reveals a
conscientious regard for duty
and honor.
The boy who is tardy at
school is not the scholar who
heads the class. The youth
who is a few minutes late at
his work is not usually the
one who is at hand when there
is a vacancy Just above him.
The man who habitually tar
ries by the wayside is generally
the one who wonders when he
will get acquainted with oppor-
tUnity.
The presence Of punctuality
in the endowment Of the chief
executive Of the nation is some
thing that should be brought to
the attention Of American boy
