The above picture shows how
Lawyer Bunde used to look, but
this week the smile on his face
is a good deal broader. How
ever owing to his time being
now so fully engaged he has
not yet found time to.have anoth-
er picture taken which shows
the latitude of the new smile.
Last Sunday morning they
had little family gathering at
his house when two young
ladies arrived and announced
that they had decided to make
their home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bunde. DR.. Scheffler was pre-
sent, and acting as chairman of
the reception committee, bid the
young ladies welcome in his
usual genial manner. He tells
us that they lack less than an
hour of being the same age;
that the oldest weighed q
pounds and the youngest 81
pounds; that they have fine
voices; splendid lungs and are
in every respect hale and hearty
and that the color of their hair
and eyes is exactly the same as
Mr.. Bunde's. The mother is
doing fine and A. o. is as well
as can be expected.
For the benefit of those who
do not k now Mr.. Bunde will say
that he is a very common look
ing fellow, but we have long
realized that he excels the
average man.

dairy cattle the lessened milk
flow are of serious consideration
1t frequently happens that it is
cheaper to destroy the animal
outright than to attempt a cure,
or to bring it back into condi-
ton. In fact the blisters and
ulcers in the mouths and feet
heal rather readily and complete.
ly, but it is positively known
that animals apparently recov-
cred from the disease, may
spread the virus for as long as
six months after recovery has
taken place. For these reasons,
foot and mouth disease is a
most serious one, and every ef-
fort is being taken by the feder-
al government to prevent it's
spread.
1t is highly important that
every stock owner be familiar
with the means by which the
disease is spread, and that he CO.
operate with the state and the
federal authorities in every
manner possible to prevent its
introduction into South Dakota. .

Veblen Gets Fine Flowing Well.

The drillers last Saturday
pulled out their drills and allow
ed the water from the first flow
to run. This flow delivered ap-
proXimately twelve gallons per
minute and the water was slight
ly salty. The city board was
not satisfied and instructed Mr..
Swanson to sink his drill deeper.
On Monday evening alta depth of
a little over 1000 feet flow of
pure soft water was secured.
1t is planned now to have
the we'll rig placed on one of the
old wells and go down there till
the same flow is secured.
The value OF this well to Web
len is hard to estimate. 1t
means that when people come
here to locate they can be told
that plenty Of good soft water
can be had for all kinds of use.
1t means that the city has Sc
cured a bountiful supply of the
finest water at cost of consider
able less than had been esti-
mated. d.-Veblen Advance.

You remember Noah had to
work a long time on that ark.
1t was uphill business, too at
best, building a boat away out
on dry land while the local anvil
and hammer club sat around
splitting tobacco juice on his
lumber, whiting up his pine
boards with their jackknives,
and telling him what fool he
was for expecting rain ina place
that was too dry to grow alfalfa
but he kept at it. Finally the
flood came; every mothers son
of the croakers was drowned. i.

know of in either sacred or pro-
fame history where bunch of
knockers got exactly what was
coming to them.

Auto License Law Interpretation.

Pierre-Whether there be any
automobile registration in this
state after the first of July next
depends largely on what the
state legal department may hold
as to the use of the money re-
ceived under that fund. This
fact will not mean that the auto
owner will not be asked to do
nate the license fee, for that is
provided for, and a share, Is per
cent must be turned over to the
state treasurer as an automobile
fund. The law also provides
that the secretary of state shall
maintain force to care for the
registration and to send out the
number plates to auto owners.
But while these two provisions
are provided for in the law,
there is absolutely no connect.
ing link between the two, and
the title of the bill in no manner
shows that any attempt is made
to appropriate any of the money
for any purpose, no more than
does the body of the drill. In
short, the law attempts to re-
quire one department. of the
state to carry on an automobile
registration feature and that
funds collected from auto own
ers are to be paid into another
department and right there it
stops. This feature was called
to the attention of members of
both houses when the different
bills were to be voted upon, but
no effort was made to in any
way change this condition. and
with knowledge, the legislature
is presu med to have created the
present condition with full
knowledge.
The state legal department
has been called upon to pass the
provision of that act, and holds
that so far as it's general pro-
visions are concerned covering
old registrations, it does not go
into effect until January /, 1916
but that the new registration
feature goes into effect July l
next, which will require pay
ment of half the old rate on auto
mobiles purchased after July 1
the only change being that deal
ers licenses are reduced from
$40 to So after July 1, all other
fees being as under the old law.
The same opinion holds on just
how the funds are to be paid in,
and what department shall han
die them, but make no mention
of anything in the law which ties
the two departments together in
anyway.
1t is also held by the present
automobile department that any
machine, which was in use for
five years prior to January 1,
1915, is only liable for half
rate for license tags.

one hundred years old, died one

Should any disease make it's ap-
pearance that is at all suspicious
Of foot and mouth diseases, it
should be reported to the office
of the livestock sanitary board,
Pierre, S. D., at the earliest
possible time.
Shippers Must be Cautious.
The livestock sanitary board
Of South Dakota has quarantined
against every infected state or
area where the disease is known
to exist in order to guard against
its Introduction into this state.
In this connection it would be
we'll for every person buying
stock from an adjoining states to
make certain that he is not get
ting this stock from a quarantine
ed area. Further, any one go
ing in OF about any of the stock
yards in the larger cities, should
take every precaution to prevent
the possibility of the disease be-
ing taken home even if it is not
known to exist in the yards at
the time of his visit. This can
be accomplished to great de-
gree by wearing pair of rub
bers in and about the stockyards.
Immediately after coming away
from the stockyards, these rub.
bers should be burned or disin-
fected thoroughly by washing
them with a solution of one
ounce of formalin in quart of
water.
Description Of Disease.
Foot and mouth disease of cat
tie, sheep and hogs primarily, al
though some other animals in
Guiding man, are occasionally in
fected. The cause of this dis.
ease is a filterable virus; the
specific germ has not yet been
isolated. 1t is characterized by
it's extreme infectiouSness and
the rapidity with which it de-
VelODS after infection occurs.
In from two to five days the
animals develop small blisters
in their mouths and on their
tongues. At the same time sores
appear about the feet where the
hair and hoof meet, and also be-
tween the claws. When the
mouths are infected, eating is
painful and difficult and there is
rapid loss of flesh. When the
feet are infected, lameness en-
sues and there is little desire on
the animals part to move about.
A day or two after the blisters
appear, either on the feet or in
their mouths, they break and
discharge their watery contents.
The infection is present in large
quantities and in virulent form
in the discharge of these blisters
"The infection mixes with the
saliva which runs from the
mouths.i in large quantities and

COME TO RESCUE OF BRUlN
Threatened With Extinction, Brother
Bear Has Found That He Has
Some Friends.

Since the bear flag" days bruin has
tative of the Golden state. He occu.
pies a place on its great seal, and, in
deed, has become a sort of institution.
When he is not working at his more
dignified job he engages in picking up
acorns, acting as scavenger around
mountain camps and making an occa'
sional raid upon farms in the hills.
He has come to be known, in private
life, as rather amiable and lazy fell
low, If undisturbed, and indeed 1t may
be claimed for him that he has host
of friends.
But bruin, in The Wild has come close
to the great divide. For many years
he has made sport for the hunter dur
ing the summer, and for the trapper at
all seasons. Nowadays there are not
very many of him. Extinction is i'm
minent. He is about to go the way of
many another distinguished brute.

rushed to his relief with bill prohibit.

summer and eliminating at all seasons
the trapping privilege. A like meas

Dry Prospects.


One hundred years of continuous
rainfall records have recently been
completed In New Bedford, Mass, and
serve to disprove thoroughly the COM
mon belief that the climate Is not SO
good as 1t used to be. Only half as
many dry periods occurred in the last
fifty years as In the first fifty years;
SO that the records really are warm
ing for that section at least, to expect
more dry periods in the next genera
ton. The recent decades have been
fortunate above the average, and con-
sequently the next few decades are
quite likely to pay the bill.
The records were started In 1914 by
Samuel Rodman, and continued by him
until his death, In 1876. His son then
kept them until his death, in 1905. For
more than ninety-one years the rain
fall was carefully recorded for exactly
the same spot in the same yard. The
chief engineer OF the state health de-
partment has now completed the hun
dred years of figures by obtaining the
late records from another observer In
New Bedford, taken few miles from
the Rodman place.
The average annual rainfall was
46.45 inches; but in the first fifty years
there were four very marked dry pc
RODS OF two or three years each. II
the last fifty years there were only
two such dry periods.-Saturday Eve
