Uncle Sans principal reputation
In as a farmer and the careless user
Of language. But he can be a world
power, as manufacturer and ship
per, II he will be energetic and care
full.
Uncle Sans domain is so big that
II ought to be an inspiration TO every
salesman he sends abroad. Some of
his salesmen are accused OF being
swollen with pride. 10 such an ex-
toner what he wants. prefsrring TO
tell him what ne ought 10 have. This
same pride causes him 10 think that
his language Is universal and that
his customer is a blockhead for not
understanding IL. Instead OF being
polite and attempting TO acquire the
other mans language, he tries TO
substitute his own. This is due TO
too much American blood pressure.
Uncle Sam has been selling goods
In other lands and delivering the
same by means OF ships belonging
to his principal competitors. His
American goods are sent out In Brit
ish. German. French or japanese
bottoms. He must ask his principal
competitors TO furnish the delivery
wagons. Suppose Hugh Chalmers
and myself owned the only two
hotels in Detroit. Suppose we were
competitors In securing guests for
our hotels. Suppose owned the
only bus line by which Hugh Chal-
mer's passengers muct be delivered,
as well as my own. how many guests
would Hugh Chalmers have In his
hotel until after | knew that all the
beds In my hotel were filed?
Uncle Sam Is Just IN that fix,
when he engages in shipping to for
eign countries. His competitors own
the only omnibuses. They will de-
liver his goods after they have

carefully delivered their own.

Uncle Sam busters and declares
he pays the biggest wages in the
world and he does. but he must have
men OF genius TO make patterns and
chimes 10 turn out the product or
else he will not be able to compete
with those parts OF the world where
farm laborers can not earn $40 per
month.
Uncle Sam az salesman Is full
OF steam and energy and he will talk
about the old star spangled banner
and the glories OF the republic, but
he must get his feet down on the
earth when he undertakes to com.
pete with other countries. He must
have banks through which to handle
his money in South America, in
China and Japan. fIe must have
every facility which every other
country has as 10 steamships. He
must learn not TO tell the man in
some ether country that his clothes
do not At him. but he must assure
him that he has the finest tailor on
earth. He is not out liz the world
10 reform the dress OF men and
women Tor 10 brag about the re-

Uncle SAM has supplanted the
pound with the dollar as the COM

be we'll enough satisfied with that
not to say much about II And IL
Europe wants TO set the hands Of
the clock forward or back. to get
more daylight and to cut down the

It is estimated by President Vanderp of the National City Bank of New York that United States loses round billion dollars year in strikes. good deal of that loss falls employers through forced idleness of their plants and capital Still more falls on the en- ployees, through joss Of wages.

UNKNOWN PERSON HAD
PLACED MORTGAGE ON
ANOTHER MANS FARM
Thomas Whittledge, of HaakoD
County, Seeks to Annull
Illegal Claim.

Midland, S., D., Jan. 15.-When
Thomas Whittlege arrived in Haakon
ounty yesterday, after a %sojourn in
canada, and discovered that. during his
ABSENCE, some unknown person had
placed a mortgage on his homestead,
after making a fraudulent transfer of
the farm to the sWindler, he uncovered
what may rov to I've been a whole
sale sW1ndling game on the part OF
some shreWd crook.
Whlttlege has commenced an action
in the state circuit court for the re-
coVery of his farm. In order to accom-
plish this, it will be necessary to have
the fraudulent transfer set aside n
the mortgage, placed upon it by the
unknown, declared invalid. In this
event, the person who Loaned the swim
der money n ook the mortgage for
security will have nothing to show for
the investment. Whittlege believes the
sWlndler may hav been a former
roommate, who broke into his trunk
and absconded with his papers, and
then took advantage of his absence in
The British northwest to FORK his swim
iling game.
There also is a possibility that the
swind1ing game may have been worked
operations to the farms of homestead
ers who temporarily were out of the
county, there being q humble of own
2rs of homesteads in the county who
at present are temporarily residing
elsewhere. When these return to look
after their Haakon county farms they
nay discover hat some of their farms
llSo werc transferred and mortgaged

SANITATION LAWS MUST
BE UNIFORM, STATES

Uniform regulations governing in
spection and other sanitary measures
is proposed by the bureau of animal in
dustry, a branch of the United States
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, according to Capt. w. S. A. Smith.
who is in sioux City making a prelim-
mary surve of conditions here.
Captain Smith said today that he is
on a tour of investigation to learn
what differences exist between the va
rious river markets and to make a re-
port to the department OF agriculture
with recommendations that will tend
to relieve any irritation that might re-
suit from opposing measures now in
force.
In the opinion of Captain Smith there
are no legitimate reasons why there
should be any conflict between the
stock markets along the Missouri as
their interests are identical and can
secure the best general results through
cooperation. Captain Smith will leavf
tonight for Wa shington.

United States government and it's con-
sular agents in the Turkish empire in

ried to a point 800 miles away from
their home. Since that time nothing
has been heard from them and he has
been unable to secure the slightest
trace of them. AT his request the
American consular agents in Turkey

SUCCESSOR PROPOSED FOR
OLD CHURCH EDiFICE IN STATE

Mission Hill. S. D., Jan. 17.-More
than ordinary Importance was at
tached to a meeting of the leading
members of what is known as the
Vangen church, which is situated near
Mission Hill. The meeting was held
for the purpose of considering the
matter of erecting a new church build
ing. This in itself is OF only ordi-
nary Importance, but the fact that the
new church, which has practically
been decided upon, will take the Ilace
of a historic old church building, which
was erected in 1854, and which is gen.
orally believed to be the Oldest church
ediice in South Dakota, makes the
meeting of the churchmen of more
thar ordinary Importance. The old
church was erected when there was
only a slight fringe of settlement in
now is South Dakota. Several
generations of settlers and their de-
~scendants have worshiped in the old
church edifce. Whether or not an eff
fort will be made to preserve the old
building after it ceases to be utilized
for church purposes is as yet unknown.
The members of the congregation will
erect the new church edifice in Mis-
sion Hill, a large tract of Ian having
been purchased as a site.

NO SOLUTION GIVEN FOR
MELVIN ADAMSON DEATH

Huron, S. D.. Jan. 19.-The follow
ng verdict was returned by the cor

death of Melvin Adamson, of this city:
we, the jury impaneled on the in
luiry yer the remains of Melvin Ad-
amson, find that he died from strang-
1lation while in a helpless condition"
No trace of poison was found in
he stomach, and the examination of
the lungs corroborated the statement
Of Huron physicians that death was
probably due to suffocation. Whether
here was alcohol in the stomach Or
tginally could not be detected, as the
organ was shipped in alcohol, some of
which would have diffused through it's
walls.
Adamson was picked up, supposedly
Intoxicated, on November 20, 1915, and
put in the city Jail. In a few hours he
was found dead. He was not reputed
! drinking man, and much mystery sur
FOUNDED his death.

WILL EXPLORE FOR "RED EYE"
BURIED IN RIVER 81 YEARS

Alcester, S. D.. Jan. 17.-George Cole,
there is a largSquantity of good old
whisky inside of that steamboat that
was sunk on a sandbar in the Mis-
souri, river south of Elk So4nt 81 years
ago. George located h boat
some years ago buried about 20
rect below the surface in a bed of sand
and silt. He had workmen dig dow
to the upper deck. but he did not have
equipment to get below. Everything
he found on the upper deck was as
sound as the day the boa was sunk.
Last week he made arrangements
with the Hawarden Sand & Gravel
company for the use of the machinery
they have been using to pump gravel
out of h bottom of the Big Sioux
river, and he shipped it to Elk Point
yesterday and will install it alongside
the old boat. With this machinery he
hopes to pump out the sand and silt
In a short time and find out what is
inside. 1t is known that there is a
large quantity OF lumber on the boat.
This is in a good state Of prescrva-
ton n will pay fo- the ~excavating
expenses. If those ~57-year-old whis!
casks have withstood the of
Missouri river water, Mr.. Cole is of
the opinion hat a moonshiner's still
will not be in it in comparison.
Sioux City thirsties have offered him
$40 a gallon for thu first barrel taken

Washington, L. c., Jan. 1S.-Wash-
ington seethed with rumors today that
Bryan, who has been trying to get
Champ Clark to III for president
against Wilson, has made Roadway in

about and considering whether to make
the race.
1t is known here that Bryan, forget
ting Baltimore, has been making over
lures to Clark, but there is no real
reason to believe the speaker will run.
Clark's friends said today there was
no likelihood that he would run if
Wilson remained in the race. They
think it possible that Wilson will not
seek another term, but the general feel
ing of politicians here is that the pres
ident is fully decided to seek renom-

GENUINE CANADIAN LYNX
is KILLED NEAR ElANDREAU

Flandreau, c., D., Jan. 15.-While
hunting along the Big Sioux river. six
miles north of F~landreau, L.. LaLonde,
q Moody county man, espied a genuine
Canadian lynx, which he was able to
kill by a well directed shot. How the
animal came to stray this far south
from the Canadian northwest is I'M
known. The lynx was the first ever
killed in that section of Moody county.
The animal weighed nearly rs pounds
and when alive would stand as high as
an ordinary dog. The head was shaped
much like that Of a large cat, except
ing that the tips of the ears were
tufted with black fur. The animals
legs were extremely long, while the
body was heavily coated with a thick
coat of taWny colored fur.
