Yesterday. the day before the
city election in Yankton, the Yank-
ton Press and Dakotan made an i'm
portant announcement-an an
nouncement of interest not only TO
it's readers in Yankton. but to the
state at large, and especially to the
newspaper fraternity of South Da-
kota. The Yankton paper stated
that in the future the paper would
refuse to accept liquor advertis-
ments.
The News. several months ago
"cut OUT the liquor advertisements
from its columns. 1t did not make
any announcement of the fact, sim
plv because it looked upon the ques-
ton largely as a matter of business.
hut it is glad to see the Yankton pa
per get in line. Aberdeen News.
The announcement the Press and
Dakotan wishes to make is that its
management has decided to accept
no more liquor advertisements.
Present contracts Of course, will be
completed. but no new contracts, or
renewals of old ones will be accept
ed. This decision is made, not be-
cause the presence of beer or whis-
KEY advertising in the columns of
this paper is at all likely to influence
the attitude of this paper on the
saloon question, but because modern
journalism is reaching a higher
plane and the accepted responsibility
of the management is becoming con-
stantly greater. The leading papers
of the world, have promulgated the
doctrine that the whole Of a news
paper must square with the highest
ideals that govern any part of that
paper. "-Yankton Press & Dakotan.

100000 GRAIN
10000 CORN
Season of Grain Shipments Prac'
tically Over

Local grain men estimate the past
seasons purchase of small grain at
Mlller's four elevators amounts to
800, 900, running from 60 to 60 per
cent wheat. The balance was oats,
bar ley and speltz. The value Of
this wheat crop would be around
$24O. 900. The price started near
80 cts per bushel, and has ranged
from about 81 cents to the high
price on Monday Of this week Of
81 Al, which is the record since the
opening of a market at Miller SO
yea S ago.
For the first time IN the towns
history a corr market was operated
here, and the buyers report $4,000
bushels handled. On a basis of 80
cts per bushel, this first years re.
cord gives an entirely new selling
product of $23 900.
The quantity and value of other
feed stuffs. such as oats. barley,
speltz, have not been computed, but
the dealers say they have received
more Of these grains during the
buving season just closing, than
they have during all of the four
years preceding combined. And
these crops are of course only the
surplus not needed on the farms.
The above crop returns do not
include any figures of a big hay
crop, which, of course, is largely
fed to our own live stock.
The showing is a good enc, fully
up to the average of other years,
but It's Importance is increased by
the fact that other products, such
as live stock, butter, eggs, poultry,
etc, are now showing a greater ag-
gregate value than the small grain.
Time was when we harvested and
sold our small grain crop-and that's
about all. There was very little
else to bring in money. Today we
are getting more money out of
other products than out of wheat.
The importance of this condition
can scarcely be measured. 1t means
the establishment Of the locality
upon a firm, permanent basis of
production.

but seems to partake of the nature
of isolated enga gements instead of a
general offensive. Artillery duels
have taken the place IF fierce hand

feature of the recent struggles
along the Mouse and near the L0r-
raine border, but the latter type Of
combat continues in the Vosges,
where the Official statements of both
sides agree that sharp fighting is
taking place on German territory.
The cOrrohoratlon ends with this
fact. the French claiming to have
occupied dominating positions here
and the Germans declaring that the
attacks Of the French have failed.
From the British end of the line
comes the report. officially issued by
the war Office at London, that hill
No. so. an important point two
miles south of Zillebeke, Belgium,
was captured from the Germans on
the night of April IL.
The German communication tells
of driving the British out of minor
German positions, which were occu-
pied by them to the southeast OF
Ypres. This is in the neighbordood
of hill No. 90.
Petrograd continues to report
minor successes IN the Carpathians,
showing that the fighting has not
been entirely suspended near the
passes. but the Russian, Austrian
and German official reports agree
that spring has virtually put an end
to all activity along the remainder
of the eastern front.
Various rumors are current re-

C~hautauqua is Popular

The chautauqua circuit in South
Dakota is charging each year, thus
proving the popularity of these out
door entertainments for summer.
They not only entertain but are
instructive as well, each course
usually containing several lectures
by noted speakers. Washington and
Highmore will each have a six days
course the coming season, the for
mer having secured dates near the
middle of June and the latter the
first Of July.
There are few prairie towns that
have the fine setting for a chautau
qua that Miller has in its shaded
court house lawn and this coupled
with the fine weather conditions
that prevailed both wears during
our chautauaua week no doubt had
much to do with attracting the good
crowds that the Hand county chau-
tauqua has enjoyed for two years.
The dates this year are June 1926
the same week on which the Hand
county teachers institute will be
held.
