STUNG in A NEW PLACE

A man and a oma dropped into a
small town Monday and put up at the
best hotel. The next morning they
secured a rig each, and started over
the country asking the farmer folks
for a chicken for an orphans home
in st. Louis. After two days begging
they sold the chickens to a local pro-
duce man for $50 and left town. Their
loot included several cash donations
A variation of the scheme is for a
man, wearing some sort of badge, to
call on the farmers under the name
Of the department Of health and de
mand to see his poultry. After exam
ination he condemns twenty or thirty
hens and tells the farmer they viii
have to be killed because they are dis
eased. He very kindly offers to take
the chickens and do the killing him
self. If the farmer consents, the mar
takes the chickens to the nearest com
mission merchant and sells them. The
scheme is being worked all over the
country. If a man or woman calls on
you with a demand that looks sCs
picious, call up your local authorities
and ask by what right they are asking
to inspect your stock or poultry. When
you get the answer, turn them over to
the police.-Howard Democrat.

posted with national banks and in
return have received accommodations,
from them. 1t was urged upon the
governor by the delegation of bankers
that the order would disturb existing
banking arrangements and connec-
tons and that it was favored neither
by the state nor the national banks
of South Dakota.
Results of expressions by a part of
the banks of the state were given to
the governor showing hat go state
banks and 43 national banks have de-
clared themselves as opposed to the
proposed change.
1t having been stated in behalf of
the order governing deposits that
state banks of South Dakota were de-
posting 81, 100000 outside the state,
and were receiving but little in the
way of loans from the banks carrying
these deposits, a statement was made
to the governor last Friday Of 16 ma
tional banks at centers outside of
South Dakota in which South Dakota
banks carry most of their out-of-state
deposits. These 16 banks, it was said,
carried on August 2, 1915, a total Of
$5,266,711.52 of deposits by South Da-
kota state banks. On the same date,
the state banks of South Dakota had
loans from these 16 national banks
outside the state, aggregating $2,S57,-
676.71. Twenty-four national banks
in South Dakota had loaned a total of
1883, 209.8 3 to state banks in South
Dakota.
The total of commercial paper car
ried by 266 safe banks was only $685.
500, showing that these banks were
not investing their funds in outside
securities.
Deposits of 266 state banks with
other banks in South Dakota, On Aug
ust 2, were, according to the state
ment, $3,423, 371.O3; with state banks
in South Dakota, $6S4,615.69. At that
date, 155 of the 266 had no deposits
with state banks in South Dakota.
A number of resolutions passed by
different groups Of bankers in the
state were presented by the speakers.

STATE COLLEGE
OPENS FOR YEAR
INSTITUTION ON THE HILL OPP.
EMS ITS DOORS TO YOUNG
PEOPLE OF STATE
REGISTRATION BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Prospects Are That the College Will
Have Largest Attendance in Its
History-Many Freshmen

The State College opened this week,
with prospects of the largest attend
ance in it's history. Never before nave
so many students registered during
the first week, in fact the registration
is almost double what it was during
the corresponding period last year. On
Tuesday 112 freshman had enrolled,
and with the many new ones coming
in every day it will be the largest first
year class in the history of the insti-
tuition.
The old students, as usual, are slow
in getting back, although there are
quite a number of them in. Every in
coming train brings crowds of stu
dents and this will be the case for the
mex week. The first of November the
school Of agriculture will open which
will bring between three and four hun
dred more here, so that there is every
prospect that last years record Of
1,050 will easily be shattered before
liz IL VI Liz hlol OCDlColCl.
There is every indication of a most
successful year. The faculty has been
augmented by a number of new in
structors, and with the hearty CO.
operation of the student body the col
lege should have a great year.
Coach Ewing has his football men
out every night and reports that pros
poets are bright for a team that will
clean the state. Some of the best
high school athletes in the state have
enrolled and the fight for places on
the team will be keen.
The Honorable James w. Wilson,
former Secretary of the United States
Department of Agriculture, and father
of Prof. j. w. Wilson at State College,
addressed the first student convoca-
ton yesterday. He discussed the
growth of vocational education
for both boys and girls. Grad
yates of agricultural colleges"
said he, "are more in demand for pub
lie service work than those of any
other colleges or universities. People
have been breaking away from the old
idea of purify classical education to-
ward that Of actual preparation for
life work. This means training in COL
leges which are founded for that pur-
pose.
Your college is growing faster than
any other kind of college ever grew.
1t will tax the resources of both col
lege and town to take care of the in
creased attendance this year and in
coming years. This situation is true
with agricultural colleges all over the
United States"
Mr.. Wilson gave an interesting dis
cussion of how congress met the edu-
cational needs of the South by appoint
ing agents in 858 counties, and organ
izing nearly 100000 boys into corn
growing clubs for substantial prizes.
The girls were also organized for the
purpose of training in canning, cook
ing, and other branches of home work.
He asserted that you cannot educate
a people without educating lis girls.
In closing ex-Secretary Wilson COM
menGed the able faculty Of State Col
lege to the incoming student body,
mentioning especially the ability of
President Perisho as executive, and
Profs. Shepard and Hansen for valu-
able research work on pure food and
plant discoveries.

Farmers Have Large Force at Work
Stripping Out Weed For First
Sale.

Z. The rains in the last few days
have brought tobacco in case and
farmers throughout this section are
very busy stripping out the weed in
order to get their crops to the mar
ket and unless the weather gets too
cold quite large amount will be
ready for the market which opens

competent and we are confident
that the prices obtained here will be
as good as any market in the state.
Bring your tobacco here and while

MRS. MARY E. ADAMS DEAD

Mrs. Mary E. Adams died at her
home in this city Sunday morning
after an illness of only few weeks
duration. Deceased was sixty-eight
years Of age and a member of the
Christian church. Mrs. Adams has
only been resident of this city a
few years, moving here from
Georgetown, KY, but by her sweet
Christian character she soon won a
place in the hearts of our people
and the news of her death was re-
ceived with sorrow.
In describing Christian and Hope
full coming to the gate Of the Celes-
tial City, John Bunyan wrote: Snow,
] saw in my dream that these two
went in at the gate, and lol as they
entered, they we're transformed ;
and they had raimant put on, that
shown IKE gold. Then l heard in
my dream that all the bells in the
city rang for joy, and it was said
unto them, Enter We into the joy
of your Lord and after that they
shut up the gates, which, when /
had seen, / wished myself among
them. They go from strength to
strength, from JOY to JOY forever"
SO this life has passed into the
joy of her Lord, the memory of her
life must prove perpetual inspira-
ton.
She is survived by one sister,
Miss Mildred Voris with whom she
made her home, and a niece, Mrs.
Charles w. Kirkpatrick, of this city
and relatives in adjoining counties.
Funeral services we're conducted

day morning in Kentucky and for
the next thirty days the fields will

by the crown. Mr.. Hudson con-
cludes, therefore, that land in
Missouri today is really owned
by the state and held by the per-
son who has the title, either be-
cause of the system Of tenure
in the Spanish law or because
of the adoption of the common
law of England in 1916.
Mr.. Hudson says that the
courts and lawyers seem to
have assumed, without much
discussion of the subject, that
tenure did not finds its way in.
to Missouri law. His conclusion
shows that in many respects oul
law is still based on medieva
conceptions.
Many states have by consti
tutional amendment or legisla
tive enactment abolished thii
feudal conception of land tenur,
and Professor Hudson believe
that if his conclusion is right
the law in Missouri should b
changed by a constitutional a
%mendment which would declar
that land can really be owne
by the person who has the title.
