Sheriff Collects
$1,000 Taxes

Sheriff. A. A. AxtelI came up
from Bison on Monday of this
week in the interests of his Off
cial duties and while in the city
he was questioned by the Herald
concerning the collection of de-
linquent personal property taxes.
The sheriff stated that already
$11, 900 has been collected and
that they were working hard to
get the remainder of the taxes
collected before the first Of the
year.
Sheriff Axtell deserves great
credit for the untiring manner
in which he has collected these
back taxes that have been on
the books of the county, some Of
them, for four or five years
AXtell shows no favors in the
collection of the taxes and be-
cause of this method has made a
few enemies in the county. but
when a person takes into consid-
Grafton the fact that the sheriff
is doing his duty without fear or
favor, he cannot help but re-
spect his conscientious perfor-
nance of the duties of the sher-
ifs office.

Needless Loss By

ing. At best the sample of
wheat was worth no more than
feed prices, and it is doubtful
whether any kind Of stock would
have cared to eat the stuff.
Here was a case where a far.
mer who had done all the work
necessary to produce a crop of
wheat and had harvested it and
threshed it, probably secured Is
bushels Of wheat per acre worth
no more than 90 cents a bushel,
whereas II he had sown good
seeI he mlgnt have harvested 20
bushels Of wheat worth 80 cents
bushel. In other words, he
could have gotten $l8 per acre
for his crop in place of SO.
The entire loss could have
been prevented bv the formalin
treatment at a cost not to exceed
a few cents per acre. A pint
bottle Of formaldihyde costing
from 35 to 80 cents and a few
hours of labor would have treat
ed enough seed grain to SOW so
acres. There is no excuse for
such a loss except carelessness.
ANY drug store, general imple-
ment dealer, experiment station
or farm paper will cheerfully
furnish the information concern
ing the treatment Of grain for
smut. No farmer is wealthy
enough to afford to SOW grain
affected with smut. D. Will

vide for his wife. Hedwig

date of the alleged otfensc in the
complaint is July y. 1916.
Schwartz was arraigne6 in
municipal court yesterday, asked
for a preliminary hearing and
was bound over for an examina-
ton under $500 bonds.
1t is understood that Mrs.
claims that she came here to see
her father and that in the mean
time her husband sold all their
property near Lennon. 1t is
also claimed that she received q
letter from him saying he was
coming through here and would
stop off and beat her up. He
was arrested while talking to his
wife in the rear of Woods res
taurant where the woman is EN-.
ployed.
Schwartz has a different story
to tell. He says that they had
Is cows and were making good
money off from them. she help
ing him with the milking. until
her father advised her that she
was working too hard and ad.
vised her to leave her husband.
This, he claims, she did.
Schwartz claims that he came
here several times to get his wife
to return home with him. but
that she refused. Finally he
sold his stock and went to work
by the month eight miles north
of Lennon. He says he came
here to again try to effect a
reconciliation when he was ar

County Seat

Geddes, S. D.. Dec. q. That
this Charles Mix county. will
be the scene of another county
seat fight is assured as the re-
suit of action taken by the resi-
dents of Geddes and vicinity at
a mass meeting here. Geddes
will become candidate for
county seat honors. Early in
the new year the campaign will
be opened and an effort made to
dispossess the historic town of
Wheeler of the county capital.
Wheeler is on the banks Of the
Missouri River, some distance
from the nearest railroad, while
Geddes is one of the thriving
towns on the Platte line of the
Milwaukee railroad.
Wheeler has been the county
seat since the early days. not
Withstanding that various efforts
have been made by railroad
towns to capture the county seat
from it. Failure has been due
to the jealousy between the var
ious railroad towns which are
strong rivals of each other.
