dispatch from Bucharest filed by
Reuters correspondent there, March

guised military preparations OF Bull
garia on the Roumania frontier the
government of Roumania Is taking
necessary military measures"
Premier Bratiano also has prolonged
the parliamentary session until the end

quickly as possible with any Bul-
garian surprise, which, in the opinion
of some, is by no means, out OF the
question. -.

sentiment created by Bulgarian news

GENERAL CROP CONDITION
GOOD IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 14.-Crops of
all kinds in South Dakota made rapid
progress during the week just closed.
the weather having been favorable for
rapid growth of corn, small grain and
other crops. Pasturage is of the best
and everything indicates that the hay
crop will be one of the largest ever
produced in South Dakota.
The ground is in the best possible
condition from the eastern boundary
westward to the Black Hills, and from
the southern to the northern boundary,
rains during the past two or three
weeks having been distributed very
evenly over the entire state. During
May the average aggregate rainfall
throughout South Dakota ranged from
four to six inches, some of the heaviest
rains having swept over western South
Dakota, which comprises the newer
agricultural portion of the state. That
region produced a big crop last year,
and conditions now are exceedingly
favorable for western South Dakota to
raise the greatest crop in its history
this year.

NO BooTLEGGING PROOF;
SOME PERJURY PROSPECTS

Milbanlx. S. D., June 10-A. E. Halves
and Dan Flemming were arrested ut
Milbank on q bootlegging charge, but
both men were acquitted, although It
was proved that various persons had
secured liquor from them. The state
was unable to prove, however that the
men securing the liquor had paid for it,
and thus a chain in the evidence was
lacking.
Some peculiar testimony was given.
One man 3wore that he and q friend
had sent off for the liquor for their
own use, having it shipped from an
other town. The mans friend was eX-
cluded from the court room at the time
and did not hear the mans testimony.
Then he was placed on the stand and
swore that neither he nor his partner
had ever had any liquor shipped Ia
them.

MISSOURI RIVER CUTS
FARMS NEAR WAK0NDA
Found Necessary to Move Some
Buildings Away From Banks
to Places of Safety.

WalSonda, S. D., June 1.-the Mis-
souri, river yet is cutting the bottom
land badly along the shore line OF what
Is known as the Charrlin farm, some
miles from here, and large sections or
this and adjoining farms have been de-
youred by the river. On the Charrlin
farm is was necessary to move the farm
buildings to save them from being un-
dermined and carried away by the
river.
1t is feared that when the June rise in
the Missouri comes serious trouble will
result. and already homesteaders along
the river are preparing to move their
buildings and stock to higher ground.
The farm land thus far devoured by the
river in this vicinity was among the
most valuable in the state, and was
famous for its immense crops of corn.

In the discussions about preparedness
1t has been prominently suggested that
a belt line road be built around the
United States, near the seacoast. Such
q road would be OF undoubted value;
but enthusiasts in this direction APP
parently lose sight Of the fundamental
fact that, either for war or peace, we
need good roads everywhere. Another
lesson that can be drawn from the ex-
perience Of Europa of late is so to
build the roads that they will stand up
I'm time OF need. If our special war
roads wero built by the average county
official they would probably not survive
actual war conditions over a week.
