Rev. c. j. Christensen
Tells the Abont Crops
Near Ipswich, S. D.

Rev c J., christianson. pastor of
the congregational church, returned
last week from a three weeks vaca-
.0on. during which he and his es-
Unable family visited the parental
homes in Ipswich and Miranda. S. D.
Mr. Cb~ristianson was asked by a
representative of The Saturday News
with regard 10 crop conditions and
conditions generally in the region he
visited
Wen aid he. crops in that sec
ton are much the same as around
watartoRn Wheat, of course, is light
in yield and poor in quality, Nearly
all Of Gha wheat in that region was
harvested. but some Of it Is so inferior
in grade as to be practically unmar-
ketable-little. shrunken kernels that

certain 6elds; others are better in
grade perhaps, but poor in yield.
Seine Of the barley. which aver
ages below normal in yield. is far in
quality At any rate, 1t is a better
crop than wheat. Other small grains
also avera sc below normal none Of
ii meeting the earlier expectations.
But corn is good, although the
acreage is comparatively small. owing
to The fact that the cold and backward
spring caused many Of the farmes to
SOW small grain on ground intended
for corn As things turned out they
would better have planted III
The poor crops this year have re,
suited in more general thought IN that
section in the direction OF less de-
peudeuce upon small grains and more
attention to stock. Some Of the farm

into stock raising TO a greater ex-

Compulsory Insurance
As Seen by a Critic

Behind the propaganda of the social
service council of the American Med
zeal Association. which is being
evolved by DR.. l. II. Rubinow, execn
tive secretary Of the council, H. A
Behrens. vice-president of the Cont
mental Casualty Insurance Company
in an interview published in the cur
rent issue Of the Western Underwrit.
er, sees an effort to fasten on the
country the compulsory adoption of a
particular school Of medicine.
In this he says he is r that Dr..
rank and file of the American Medical
Association.
Concurrently. the Pittsburgh Post
publishes q letter from a contributor
which charges that the. doctors, not
satisfied with benefits received from
the compensation laws, are trying to
hog all the money there is" In sup
port of his views he estimates that
on the basis, for a system of compul-
sorry health insurance providing for
medical treatment and examinations
advocated by the doctors of the Amer.
lean Medical Association the total
contributions of the country would
approximate $1,000, 000, 900 annually.
The contributor to the Post fugres
that ST. DOC, 900 900 is a mighty heap
of money to be divided between doc
tors, druggists, and manufacturers of
surgical instruments" for whose bene-
fit he says the great humanitarian
project was inaugurated.
Mr.. Behrens in his comments is less
caustic but none the less definite. In
his opinion the efforts of DR.. Rubinow
tend toward a pure form Of socialism
in the interest of a professional class.
He expresses disappointment that be-
yond this particular phase the utter
ances of DR.. Rubinow advance nothing
that is new.
Analyzing the propaganda of DR..
Rubinow. Mr.. Behrens says he makes
three points in favor of the adoption
OF his plan: first, he advocates the ne,
cessity of Insurance for the laboring
man; second, he advocates compul.
sorry insurance, and third, he fayors
the distribution of the cost of compul-
sorry insurance between the workman,
the employer and the state.
That insurance for the workman is
desirable, Mr.. Behrens says is axio-
aud further he believes that the
efforts OF Or. Rubinow and his assoc
inofar as they impress the ne
for income protection upon
the workman should prove helpful,
but beyond this point he holds that
the plan they advocate IL open o
question. He admits that striking in
dividnal examples OF the applieatEien

When breeze fluttered the foliage,
then slender shafts and spears of sun
shine pierced the green mantle and
danced like gold on the ground.
Duane had always felt the strange
ness of this kind of place, and like
wise he had felt protecting, harbor-
ing something which always seemed to
him to be the sympathy of the brake
for hunted creature. Any unwound-
ed creature, strong and resourceful,
was safe when he had glided under
the low, rustling green roof of this
wild covert.
Duane wanted to cross the river
If that was possible, and, keeping in
the brake, work his way upstream till
he had reached country more hospit-
able He pushed on. His left arm
had to be favored, as he could scarcely
move it. Using his right to spread
the willows. he slipped sideways be-
tween them and made fast time.
Finally after a toilsome penetration
of still denser brush he broke through
TO the Dank OF the river.
He faced wide, shallow, muddy
stream with brakes on the opposite
bank extending like green and yellow
wall. Duane perceived ct a glance
the futility Of his trying to cross at
this point. Everywhere the sluggish
water laved quicksand bars. Before
leaving the bank he tied his hat upon
a pole and lifted enough water tc
quench his thirst. Then he worked
his way back to where thinner growth
made advancement easier, and kept on
upstream till the shadows were so
deep he could not see. Feeling around
for place big enough to stretch out
on, he lay down. For the time being
he was as safe there as he would have
been beyond in the Rim Rock. He was
tired, though not exhausted, and in
spite of the throbbing pain in his arm
he dropped at once into sleep.

rafting 81 loose gravel md then low
voices.
HE can't git acrost the river, I tell
you," came to Duane's ears. He's
corralled in the brake. I know thet
hole"
Then Duane, gliding silently and
swiftly through the willows. heard no
more from his pursuers. He headed
straight for the river. Threading a
passage through willow brake was
an old task for him. Many days and
nights had gone to the acquiring of q
skill that might have been envied BY
an Indian.
The Rio Grande and its tributaries
for the most of their length In Texas
ran between wide. low, fiat lands COW
cred by dense growth of willow.
Cottonwood, mesquite, prickly pear,
and other growths mingled with the
willow, and altogether they made .
matted, tangled copse, a thicket that
an inexperienced man would have
considered impenetrable.
The depths Of this brake Duane had
penetrated was q silent, dreamy,
strange place. In the middle Of the
day the light was weird and dim.

Trees Used for cisterns.

Among the most curious of trees Is
The gigantic baobab, which tiourishes
in central Africa, the trunk of which
sometimes attains Il diameter OF A.
feet, according to the Los Angeles
Times. This trunk serves as u natural
cistern, retaining rain water in large
quantities in cavity formed ut the
top. The Arabs artiticially hollow
out the trunks of large baObabs and
fill them with water during the pre-
valence of rain as provision against
the dry season. These cisterns are in
many cases 20 feet in height and eight
or ten feet In diameter.

but his endurance had never beer. put
to grueling test. And that worried
Duane. His life had made 1t I'M
possible to keep one horse very long
at time, and this one was an UNI
known quantity.
Duane had only one plan-the only
plan possible in this case-and that
was to make the river-bottoms, where
he might elude his pursuers In the
willow brakes. Fifteen miles or SO
would bring him to the river, and this
was not hopeless distance for any
good horse If not too closely pressed.
He began to hope and look for trail
or road turning off to right or left.
There was none. A rough, mesquite
was cers--in-he nau u 70 pOund the

the outskirts Of the village; and once
