Sub.Zero Weather With Assistance Of
Snow Storm Upset Business
Calculations For Week

Old Sixteen is keeping up it's rec
ord right to the end as regards
weather. Not in the history of It's
civilization has the heavens wept
over the DakOtas as this year. There
was water everywhere. Roads were
impossible that were never known to
be that way before, fields were inun-
dated so that some of the crops never
were gathered and hay gathering on
the low land was an utter impossible
ity.
Now in old bleak December the
snow is piling UP into drifts three and
four feet deep. This past week has
made raiiroading very bad. The ex-
cessive cold weather of IL few days
gave way to the warmer and down
pour of snow. Tuesday and Tuesday
night the wind blew gale and there
was a regular old-fashioncd storm.
Trains all ran late. Some were
held up for the day after getting in
to the nearest towns. The 500 from
the east came as far as Oakes, held
up here and went back in the even
ing. The east bound 500 came far
as. Wishek. The N. p. and N. w. came
in and went out somewhat late. but
! kept moving The n. =. from the
east. due Tuesday night at $40 reach
ed Oakcs at 2:15 in the morning. and
! left for the east again al 1913 yes

SHORT COURSE DATES.

II. +. Dawes, Assistant Superintend-
ent of Short Courses, in letter to A. L.
Hesnard, of this place, states that the
dates assigned for the Short Course in
Hermosa are October 8, 10, II and II.
The present plan is to send Mr. g. +.
Morrison, Specialist in Live Stock Mr..
X. l.. Patty, Specialist in Agricultural
Engineering water supply and sewage
disposal for farms, methods of heating,
lighting and ventilating farm buildings
and Miss +. Wimple, Specialist in Home
Economics.
These specialists will come prepared
to 90 out and do individual work outside
Of the regular hours of the meeting.
Should there be any farmers that desire
the services of these people may leave
request with A. t. Hesnard who has
been requested to make note of same,
in order that no requestsfor such service
may be overlooked by the division.
Hermoss has gained the reputation OF
having always had one OF the best at
tended and most enthusiastic Farmers
Institutes and Short Course meetings
held in the state during the past few
years, and it is to be hoped that farmers
and ranchers-those who are TO receive
the greatest benefits-wil turn out bet
ter, and show even greater enthusiasm
this fall than usual, as the Division OF
Cooperative Extension Work in Agri-
culture and Home Economies of South
Dakota, in cooperation with the U. 8.
Department of Agriculture, is, this fall
making extraordinary efforts TO make
these four days Short Course meetings
even more interesting and beneficial to
the farmer and rancher than heretofore.
What has been said in the foregoing
applies in like manner TO the Womsn's
Auxilisry.-Hermosa Hustler,

HOW WIDOWS MAY GET
NEW PENSION INCREASE

During the last hours of the session of
congress that has just closed an act was
passed which raises the maximum
amount of pension payable to widow
of Civil war veteran 20 years of age,
from $l2 to $40. Many inquiries have
been received regarding what steps are
necessary for the pensioners to get this
increase. People who are already draw
ing pensions have been inquirng as to
whether new application had to be
made.
Congressman Candy yesterday re-
ceived message from the department
taking care of pensions which explains
this and has asked the Journal to make
the same public so that persons interest
ed may know the requirements.
The message says:
Widows now on the pension rolls de-
string an increase under the first section
of the act of September s, 1916, should
write to the commissioner of pensions,
giving the certificate number and re-
questng an increase. The application
! need not be sworn to."-Rapid City

ments have been made for side track

sary limestone will commence in the
near future. This quarry is on the auto
road and the sidetraek will run parallel

The lime obtained from this quarry
will be used in the refining of sugar,
