A SILK ERA

st. Paul Dispatch.-Americans are
found to be wearing silk hosiery more
and more, according to the report of
an investigation made by the Depart.
ment OF Commence. AS a result, it is
stated, cotton hosiery manufacturers
are making less profit than silk manu-
f~acturers.
Significant, because authentic and
unconscious, is this commentary on
the shifting standard of living in
America, and on the related subject
Of increase in the cost Of living. II has
often been charged, believed and dis
believed that the increased cost of liv.
ing is largely due to rising standards.

What's more, they are buying auto

"PAPERS AID AGRICULTURE"

National Observation-Disclosures
the many lines of valuable service rem.
dered by the newspapers, that of Civ
ing aid to improved farming has been
the most available and most fruitful
in direct, helpful results.
Agriculture is the predominating in
dustry in this country and farming Is
everywhere in every state and county
of the Union.
The rural or home papers have es-
pecial opportunities to aid in this great
industry, and the greatest of u metro
politan papers are not so far removed
from farm interests but that they have
found opportunity for useful service in
this field.
George A. Starring, Editor of Publ
cations, South Dakota State Col
lege, writing in a sheet sent out to
the newspapers devoted to Special
State Service Features of South Da-
kota State College," under the above
heading. speaks truly of the great
value OF the services of the state press
has been in the educational campaign
for better farming-What he says Of
newspapers of his state is largely true
of all home papers throughout the
whole Nation. 1t is a fact that "the
local paper is the last to be thrown
into the wastebasket." especially in
the farm homes. It is the link that
keeps the farmer in touch with his
with his fellow citizens, the
men and women Of their township,
county and state, and with all their in
terests and with all the home institu-
tons and industries. and especially
with those Of the farm, the dairy. stock
and poultry raising under the like con-
ditions with which he has to deal. The
suggestion that for these and like e a
the prosperous home papers are
the very best advertising medium and
the question that he puts. "Have ma
tional advertisers learned that local
daily and weekly papers are excellent
advertising?" are entirely pertinent.
Starring writes:
without the support Of hundreds OF
progressive newspapers We would

STATE NEWS


Miller.-A sentence of working on a
farm and behaving himself was the
penalty imposed by Judge Hughes on
Harry Corbett, who was arrested on a
charge of horse stealing. The tender
age of the culprit coupled with his pre-.
vious good reputation and his failure to
realize the enormity of his offense are
all that saved him from the state peni-
tertiary. Corbett pleaded guilty to the
charge, stating to the court that he did
not intend to steal the horse he rode
off.
horse "rustlers" have become very &C.
tive in this vicinity, particularly along
the Pine Ridge Indian reservation
boundary line, and a number of thefts
of valuable horses are reported. In
dians living IN the reservation are
among the victims of the raiders. The
Indian police force on the reservation
is cooperating with the sheriff and
other officers of this (Bennett) county
in efforts to run down the thieves or
drive them from the country before the
scope of their operations is extended.
Wheeler.-John Hanzi, an aged man
who is charged with having murdered
his aged wife, has been placed in
charge of Sheriff Lynch here pending
his trial at the next term of state cir
cult court. The defendant is IA years
of age, while his wife was 70. He is
charged with choking her to death in
their home at Dante. It>yet is believed
an effort will be made by the defend
ants attorneys, when his trial takes
place, to prove that he was insane at
the time of the alleged Staying of his
wife. and that if he committed the
deed he was not responsible for his
actions.
Webster.-Jack Wagner. a Webster
man, while at work on the construction
of a house for his mother at Roslyn.
had an unusual experience and a re-
markable escape from serious injury as
the result of a fall. He fell from a
scaffold to the ground, a distance of 20
feet. and, strange to say. was not SER
iously or fatally hurt. He CHANGED to
alight sQuarely on his feet, and. be-
ieving he had not been injured In the |
least. he started to walk calmly away,
but had not proceeded far when he
discovered that both his ankles were
broken. In falling the 20 feet he turn
ed several complete somersaults.

have been from five to ten years
slower in agricultural progress in
South Dakota as we'll as in the entire
nation. Time was when the only farm
news printed in newspapers consisted
of crop reports, effects of blight or
pests, and features of more than usual
interest. A few years ago, however.
college propaganda was seized upon AS
good news stuff,-good news because
subscribers wanted il.
In this progressive age, weekly and
daily papers print columns upon col.
umns of farm news, which is news not
because it chronicles events, but be.
cause ii suggests sane methods of
profitable and permanent farming
methods. Our agricultural professors
are called upon almost daily for farm
information TO be published in count
readers.
The home paper is a frst-class med
ium for the dissemination OF better
farming propaganda. The average
reader feels that his home editor is
protecting him against fake reading
matter-he respects his local paper.
The local paper is the last to be
thrown into the waste basket. For
these reasons, we might add, have ma
tional advertisers learned that local
daily and weekly papers are excellent
advertising media.

Dempster.-A bible which was print
ed in 1867 and was among the effects
of Scotch settlers in Florida more
than 200 years ago is valued highly by
Il. c. Chambers, a general merchant
of this town, a descendant of the
Dnassman and Chambers families. The
American emigrant ancestors of the
Chessman and Chambers families in
Florida, moved to New York and in
1907 to a land grant at Carlisle, where
the last of a family of nine recently
died on the old homestead. Twenty

Madison, and ask their cooperation in
securing entertainments better adapt
ed to children. The movie men met

asked the club to assist them by sug-
