SOLDIERS WHO WEAR Wells
British Troops In Southwest Africa
Have to Conduct Campaign
Under Difficultiea

One Of the hottest places where the
British are fighting is in German
Southwest Africa, where General
Botha is in command of an expedition
against the enemy. The habitable part
Of German Southwest Africa lies in
the center of a sun-scorched, water
less, shadeless desert of shifting sand,
and General Botha's men have to carry
everything they need. for nothing
whatever can be obtained from the
country, not even fodder for the ami
mails.
The sand penetrates everywhere,
and the heat of the sun is SO terrific
that all the troops fighting with Gen
eral Botha have been served out with
wells and goggles" Without them,
indeed, 1t would be impossible to get
along at all, and, as it is, hundreds
OF the Boer burghers. though hardened
campaigners. have been 20 blistered

Of boots.

Wheat Crop Great.

Huron.-It is estimated by the
weather and crop bureau at Huron that
the 1915 crop of spring wheat will be
As, 800, 900 bushels, an increase over
1914 of $500, 900 bushels. These fig,
ures are secured by q forecast of June
for this year. while the figures OF last
year are taken from the final prOduc-
tion.
Further it is estimated that the 1915
crop of winter wheat in South Dakota
will be 1920, 900 bushels, as compared
with 966, 900 bushels last year. 1t is
estimated that the 1915 crop of oats
will be As. 700, 900 bushels, as compared
with "A. 165 900 for last year. The bar
ley crop for 1915 in the state is esti.
mated at 17,1OO,O 900 bushels. as com
pared with 1850, 900 bushels last
year.
The condition of the rye crop is
considered better at this time than an
average of the ten years before. The
prospects for the hay crop 10Y is bet.
ter than for the average of the past
seven years. The condition of alfalfa
and pastures is better than for the av-
erage in ten years.
Prices on June l are shown to bt
in excess of the prices prevailing or
June /, 1914.
It is estimated that the winter wheat
crop for 1915 in the whole country
will be CTS, 00O. 900 bushels. nearly 10,
600, 900 bushels below last years
yield. The forecast for spring wheat
throughout the country shows that an
increase of so, 900, 900 bushels over
1914 is expected.

Status Of Indian Question.

Isabel.-While Inspector Thackery
OF the United States Indian depart
ment was in the cit. recently he stated
that the Indian has no right to vote.
and that suffrage is denied to even
those Indians who have received
patents on their lands. If this is true,
it is argued by prominent residents
Of Dewey county. then circuit courts
have no right to exercise jurisdiction
over Indian cases, and sucn cases
should be tried in federal court. 1t is
further argued that if this should be
found to be the a then Dewey
county could collect from the govern
ment the $40, 900 spent in the prosecu-
ton of Indians since the organization
Of the county. 1t is further claimed
that Indians have voted in this coun-
ty, and that if they have not the right
to vote. then they have complicated
several issues which might involve
the county.

Perkins to Improve Roads.

tor Nicholson, and correspondence has

officials and the bureau.
The county officials feel confident
that this is the wisest step that could
be taken in the matter of road con-

i .s1LOs A NECESSITY.

The work of the Security State
bank Of Bemidji in securing silo
forms to assist the farmers of this
district in securing a silo at the very
lowest cost, is commendable. 49,
1t is said that an ear of green corn
fed from a silo to dairy COW gives
the same results as matured ear.
The farmer who has the silo will be
able to use the green corn ear as
we'll as the matured ear, while the
"siloless" farmer will be short of
the green ear which means half
loss this year.
The man who built his silo early
this year is the man who will have
time to consider other important
problems on the farm at the present
time. The uncertainty of weather
conditions indicate that a silo may
come into very useful use one Of
these mornings. W
During the past summer four silos
have been built from the bank
forms near Bemidji and it is ex-
pected that twice as many will be
built next year.

, LIGHT GUARD IN REUNION

/ Washington, D. Co.. Sept. IT,
Veterans of the Union Light Guard,
who are here attending the encamp-

public, are planning a reunion to be
held this week. The Light Guard
was the bodyguard of President Lin
coin for two years during the Civil
war. -
While conversing with Secretary
OF War Stanton in 1868, the COVER
nor of Ohio offered to- obtain a body
guard for President Lincoln. Secre-
tary Stanton accepted the offer. The
governor therefore asked for pick.
ed man from each county in Ohio,
but did not say what the service was
to be. The mastering officer was
Capt. Elmer Otis, Fourth United
States cavalry. They left for Wash
ington December %, 1863, and on re-
porting to the secretary of war

duties were to be- .-s... ss:S

however, say the men at the station.
Seed corn is going to be scarce.
Every farmer, who can, should pick
enough for himself and as much in
addition as he can find. All of this
he should store on racks or in strings
in a. warm, well ventilated PLACE.
His surplus will find aready market
at good prices next spring.
The farmer who has no. corn may
save himself something in cost by
buying permission to select seed
corn in the field of some neighbor
whose corn has matured more rap
idly.
The picking should be done in
time to avoid heavy frosts. The
weather should be observed with a
watchful eye, say the experts, and
if there are signs of drop in tenn
perature, that may indicate frost,
picking should begin at once and be
rushed with vigor. s~ Il

WHEN CHILDREN
SAVE THE PENNIES

Every little child receives many
pennies and nickels and dimes from
it's parents, and it's brothers and sis
tiers, and it's uncles and aunts and
cousins.
But what becomes of those pen
MES?
In few cases they go into juv-
emile savings bank and are kept from
the sight of the child.
In many cases they come easy and
go easier-the child squanders them
as fast as it gets them. -.
And both cases are distinct in.
jury to the future of the child.
~ You cannot begin too young tc
teach your child the value of money
to impress upon it's little mind the
fact that without money it will find
the pathway of life rough one tc
be trod.
Let the child have the money
Teach it to count it, to realize its
value, to speculate on what it will
buy; but above all, instill in it's mind
desire to ''watch it grow"
Let il spend a portion of it's pen
nies-say one-half Of what it gets
in it's youthful days-but in tn at ex-
penditure teach it to select some
thing of practical value, even though
the cost be but few cents.
Then teach it itself to save the
other half and WATCH THE PEN
MES GROW.
Encourage it to count them over
frequently and to keep track Of the
increase, and keep gently but per-
sistently at this course until the
child instinctively and voluntarily
places the half of all it gets in it's
own little bank ..-..
Let it have it's candy and it's play
things by, all means, but let it learn
the lesson of carefully considering
the value of every: little purch ase it
makes, always placing in reserve the
half of all the, pennies it gets. - . a.

SEED CORN OUTLOOK BRIGHTER

The corn outlook for Minnesota is
far more encouraging than it was
. two weeks ago, or even one week
5 ago. It looks now as If there would
be fair supply of Minnesota grown
corn for next springs planting if
every one who has corn which has
reached the dent stage gets out and
picks. .

far as it can be judged from reports
received at the Minnesota Expert
ment Station. Il

Andrew Boss, A. ID. Wilson and 9TH
