VOTE FOR DEAD MAN
HIS SUCCESS AT POLLS WOULD
BE VALID, REQUIRING ELEc-
TON TO FILL VACANCY.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and from
Many Different Parts OF
the Sunshine State.


R1GrTe.-
Voters of Bon Homme county have
the right to vote for a dead man and
the votes thus cast will have a certain
legal status.
Theodore F. Berndt, present state
senator and candidate for reelection
died a few days ago, after the official
ballots had been prepared and the
time for supplying ballot vacancies
had expired.
Senator Berndt's death has caused a
difference of opinion among authori.
ties in Bon Homme county as to the
effect of votes cast for Senator Berndt,
either directly or by virtue of the cir.
Gle at the head of the ticket, and the
question has been put up to the attor.
ney general for a decision.
Members of the republican organiza-
ton in Bon Homme county contend
that the republican candidate for
state senator, James Stephens. will be
elected by default, and that no votes
cast for the dead man, Theodore f.
Berndt, should be counted.
The Bon Homme county auditor
rules that, if the name Berndt re-
ceiveS more votes than the name Ste
phens, a vacancy Will be created, re.
curing a special election. If Stephens
receives the most votes, all compiled.
lions will be removed.
The attorney general probably will
moi offer a ruling until after election.

Urged to Watch WEIGHTS,

Watch carefully the weights Of
bulk goods and see that every article
OF food in package form is labeled with
the true net measure or weight" is
the suggestion given to housewives by
State Food Commissioner Frary. On
account OF the prevailing high prices
or o o consumers are warned to
watch their purchases for adultera-
ton and short weight. Reports re-
ceived at the office of the commits
sioner here from other states in which
laws are enforced controlling weights
and measures indicate many violations
of short weight laws.
AS South Dakota has no law provid-
Ing for the inspection of weights and
measures, and prohibiting the giving
OF short measure, consumers here
need to be doubly careful. The food
department enforces a net weig...-
labelling law covering all food in pack
ages. This law is generally complied
with. Recently inspectors have found
much honey sold in small "one pound"
frames which was not stamped 10
show the weight of honey. AS the
actual amount of honey in these
frames varies greatly, the producers
should sort and grade the product and
stamp the average weight on each car
ton. Many producers and jobbers
have been notified of these require
ments.
Chapter 368 of the laws of 1915 es-
tablished standards of weight for
agricultural products and fixed the
United States standard bushel as the
unit for the measure of these pro-
ducts. 1t also fixed the weights of the
"ushel of such commodities. Con-
= .mers should insist that for a bushel
~ potatoes they receive so pounds, and
ior a peck 10 pounds. Apples, ac-
cording to this law, must weigh 4S
pounds to the busheI.
