IOWA BANNER CROP STATE

Washington - Iowa wrested
from Texas the honor of being
the banner crop state, the -
principal crops grown there last
year being valued at S351 800, 600
according to the agricultural
outlook issued today.
The Illinois crops are worth
$50, ,OOO,OO less and Texas is
third with a crop valued at S2SS'

value of cotton is the cause OF
the smaller value of the Texas

DIED FROM HIS BURNS

Patrick Lynch, who was burn
ed so terribly by gasoline at the
meat market fire, died on Satur-
day morning last, from the ef-
fects of the burns. Although
suffering all kinds Of torture, he
bore his pain untlinchingly and
with fortitude.
Mr.. Lynch was about 40 years
old, single. The body was taken
to Norwood, Mimi, where the
Lynch family formerly resided,
for burial, accompanied by three
brothers of the deceased, one
from Fargo, one from Dumont,
and one from Minneapolis. His
untimely taking off was a very
sad affair, and the relatives have
the deep sympathy of the com
munity-Browns Valley Tribune

LOOK OUT FOR THEM

From different parts of the
country come stories OF a Swindle
successfully worked on farmers
who thought they We're going to
get cheap groceries. TWoSmooth
strangers went through the COM
munities taking orders for a
house in Chicago, pretending to
sell a standard brand of sugar
and -four so cheaply that every
farmer visited took from $40 to
$50 worth, and other things be-
sides. Because of the low price
the -four and sugar had to be
paid in advance. 1t is alleged
that in one community the swim
dler picked up some $1,000 and
no groceries.
1t is a pretty good bet to steer
clear of anyone who has the
dearly beloved and much abuS-
ed" public so at heart, because
no oily tongued salesman will
spend his valuable time canvas
sing the country in zero weather
for his health.

WEATHER

When the frost is on the window
and the kitchen pail is froze;
When thelittle icy needles come
with every breath that blows:
When chilblains make US groan
aloud and cold feet give us pain
It's safe to bet that we all wish
for summertime again.
t'oras we sweat and stew around
in breezy summer clothes
It's an easy thing to cool off and
forget our earthly woes.
But it's different in the winte I
when the world if full of ice
And the weather is as hard tc
beat as any loaded dice.
We may boast about our climate
and about our spring and fall
But the balmy days Of summer
are the best ones after all.

THE BIBLE
IN THE SCHOOL
Rep. Malm Introduces Bill
Into the House.

That the bible is the greatest
book in the world and that chill
dren should have a greater fami
liarity with it is the belief of
Representative S. H. Malm of
Roberts county. In order to ef-
feet wider knowledge of it he
has introduced bill into the
house which provides that a
chapter from the bible shall be
read every day in every public
school of the state. This is the
way he has phased it in his mea-
sure which is now in committee.
No sectarian doctrine may be
taught, or inculcated in any of
the public schools of the state
but the bible without sectarian
comment, shall be read therein;
and it shall be the duty of every
teacher employed in any of the
schools in the state of South Da-
kota which are supported in
whole or in part by the state to
read one chapter or part of a
chapter once during every daily
session of school.
Provided, that pupils may be
excused from this exercise upon
a written request OF the parent
or guardian. The school board
shall provide and maintain one
copy of the bible in each school
under their supervision, or Ill
case where school contains
more than one assembly room,
one copy of the bible in every
such room.
/ have two ideas in present
ing this measure, said Nf'c
Malm, who is a big red blooded
man of six feet OF over. First
the bible as a work of literature
is worthy of this resignation
which | think it should have
The greatest minds of the ages

cognized it's worth and | thinl
it should be read more for tina
raason and for its historical
Value
My second reason for having
this done in the public schools
IS because in the rural diStrict
the children are almost entirely
cut off from access to means fo7
becoming familiar With this book
N the cities there are Sunda.
Schools of various kinds wher'
the children get a knowledge O
it but this is not true In tho
country. Every person shoul
become familiar with the bibl
and if this acquaintance is no
gained in childhood, it is hardl
ever attained in after life.

HARRY CLYMER DEAD.

Harry Wi bur Clymer, young
est son Of A. j and Huldah CIV
mey was born March 9th, 1891.
at Rockford, Iowa, and died Dec.
., 1911, at the home of his parents
in Clyde, aged % years. Besides
his parents he leaves two broth
ers, Bertus, of Sisseton, S. d.,
and Leon, of Peever, and two
sisters.
In 1895 the Clymers moved to
Browns Valley. While they
were living in Browns Valley
the son Harry crossed to Sisse=
ton and enlisted in the militia.
He received an honorable dis,
charge in 1911, and expected to
re-enlist but on finding his
mother opposed, gave up the
idea. On Sept. 23rd he was
stricken with typhoid fever, and
from the first his case was hope
less. All that loving hands
could do was done to relieve his
sutferings, but the Lord, Who
lnoweth all things we'll, saw fit
to call him home, and the end
came as restful sleep.
A particularly sad circum-
stance connected with MIR. Cly-
mer's death was the fact that he
had expected to be married in
two weeks from the time he be-
came i'll.

A Washington dispatch indi
Gates that South Dakota's recent

known for weeks that charges
had been placed with the post
master general in connection
with the election of S. ID. John

also knew that a representative
of the postal department has

up the charges, which it is alleg-
ed that former Senator Petit

elect Johnson. Now comes the
following Washington dispatch

the entire matter:
There is a strong possibility
that the recent election of Ed

YanSton, S. d., to the United
States senate, may be investigate
ed by the senate committee on
privileges and elections.
THE matter came up i'm con-

i ators in Pennsylvania and Illinois,
AT the meeting Senator Suth-

while this motion was defeat

of unofficial information, be-

Senator Sutherland said that
while no formal charges against

sources which he considered re.
liable, had been made to hin

SEEK DETAILS ON
THRASHER' s DEATH
State Department Wires Am
baSSadOr Page for Full In
formation-WaS Passenger
on Ship Sunk by Germans.

WASHINGTON, April ?. - A thor
ough investigation was ordered by the
state department into the death of
Leon c. Thrasher. the American cltl-
zen who was lost when the British
steamer Falaba was torpedoed by
German submarine.
Sec'y of State Bryan instructed
Ambassador Page at London 10 sehu
a full report on the case. Similar IN
structiOns we're sent TO the American
consul general, Robert Z. Skinner at
London. The department SO far only
has press reports Of the death OF
Thrasher 1t has not been officially
ascertained yet whether he was killed
on board the Falaba or was drowned
after taking 10 boat.
The representatives will go 10 the
German government. officials say
that those representations necessarily
will be a very delicate matter. As
Thrasher was an American citizen
whose death was caused by German
submarine. warfare against which the
United States had protested, it seems
10 some OF the officials that the pro-
test would lie just as strongly whether
or not Vhrasher was killed aboard
British or American vessel.
When this government replied to
the German notification of sub
marine blockade OF England the
American note stated that the United
States would hold the Germans to a
strict accountability for the loss OF
American lives. This government
states plainly that the loss OF Ameri-
can life or property by the torpedo
ing OF merchant vessels would be an
unfriendly act.
1t is understood at the department
that German explanation should first
be had on the circumstances. 1t is re-
garded as important 10 ascertain
whether the captain Of the Falaba re-
fused 10 be visited by the German
submarine. The United States has al
ways admitted the right of visitation
and search SO that II the British cap
tain failed to observe the information
al law the case will become very COM
plicated.
