Notices have been sent from
the office of the state food and
drug department here to all per.
sons who are operating hotels,
restaurants or roUming houses
without a license. These no.
tices call for immediate payment
of license fees for the current
fiscal year, which we're due last
July. Heretofore many persons
have waited for inspectors Ia
collect license in person, but the
law requires that licenses shall
be paid July l each year and the
food commissioners does not fee
that the time of department in.

not paid their fees are operating
in violation of the law and In.

RAISE STOCK
LESS GRAIN
Perisho Says Its Best Method
to Keep Grain Market.

Mitchell-"One of the best
methods of rescuing themselves
from losing grain market situa
tion is for Ssuth Dakota farmers
to raise more livestock and grow
less wheat" said President e. G.
Perisho of State college before
the Livestock Breeders assOcia-
tior at Mitchell on Wednesday.
President Perisho asserted that
farmers got one billion dollars
less for their products last year
than did the middlemen: that
although there is much talk of
building terminal elevators to
break the power controlling the
wheat market, yet the farmer
can do most for himself by grow
ing less wheat and more stock.
Few things are more absurd
for a state like South Dakota
than to grow big wheat crop,
sell it at a small price and ship
it to Minneapolis to be ground
into flour Experiences in the
past show that our farmers get
the smallest price possible for
the grain and then, worst of all
they lose the by-products of the
wheat.
Zone of the most disastrous
results of this method of grow
ing grain and shipping it out of
the state arises in our inability
to keep stock on the farm. Had
South Dakota last year fed the
grain which she shipped hey ond
the boundaries of the state we
could easily have maintaine d.
25O,OOO tie 100000 more cattle
upon the farms of the state.
When you stop to think what this
means to the wealth of the state
there can be no argument of
shipping grain and not raising
stock. With cattle and hogs
selling at the price which
they have the last few years
farmers have done exceedingly
we'll in feeding both steers and
hogs.
''Then there is still another
serious phase of this question
that some of us fear have for
gotten. / would like 10 add that
COW or steer is worth $50 to
each farmer solely becauseof the
manure as u fertilizer. There is
no fertilizer in the world that
the farmers can procure so cheap
ly as barnyard and stockpen
manure. Let us illustrate this
again. When you sell a dollars
worth of hay off your farm you
take out of the soil at least az
cents worth of commercial
fertilizer, but when you sell a
dollars worth of dairy products
likecream or butter you have
only really removed less than a
tenth of one per cent of fertilizer
provided the COWS are kept or
tho farm.''

Inspector is Doing Good Work.

point was raised by the defense
in "a case tried at Redtield Mon
day when Harvey Watson was
arraigned in justice court on
complaint of A. Prestwick, an
inspector of the state pure food
and drug department. Watson
was charged with selling, to be
used as food, "a COW which was
unfit for food, being deceased
animal suffering from lump jaw.
Former attorney general, Wesley
Clark appeared for Watson while
the case was handled for the
state by States Attorney Bull.
The evidence showed that Wat
son, late in December, hat call
| ed DR.. Walker, a veterinarian, to
attend t'le COW, and the veterin-
arian operated ON the animal,
cutting away part OF a lump ON
her jaw and removing also part
of the bone The disease had
progressed so far however, that
he was unable to remove all dis
eased parts, and evidence show
ed that he so adviced Watson
and further advised him to ship
the COW to q market where the
carcass could be passed on by
federal meat inspectors. On or
about January 10, Watson sold
the COW to a Redtield butcher,
Julius Schmechel who slaughter
ed the animal and sold the meat
for consumption Schmechel
was arrangned in court Saturday
ON complaint of Prestwick and
plead guilty to selling meat from
a diseased animal and was fined
$31 .O5, including costs.
j Attorney Clark held that the
live COW, as sold by Watson to
Schmechel could not be classel
as food and therefore his client
had not violated the food law.
The justice took the case un-
der advisement. His decision is
awaited with interest as the
question to be decided as an i'm
portant one, and may have much
effect ON the effectiveness of the
food law of the state.
Violations of the red can" law
have recently been called to the
attention of Commissioner Frary
OF the State food and drug de.
partment. who is also state oil
inspector. Accordingly notices
are being sent to all wholesale
dealers in gasoline in the state
calling their attention to the
requirements of this law, which
prohibits the delivery of gasoline
into containers holding less than
sixty gallons, unless such con-
tainers be painted vermillion red
1t also prohibits the storing OF
gasoline in other than red con-
tainers except containers hold
ing sixty gallons Grover.
The law applies to all retail
as we'll as wholesale dearlers in
gasoline and to users, and mer-
chants who have been in the
habit of filling customers, cans
without regard to whether they
we're painted red will do we'll
to observe the requirements OF
this law. Persons who keep
gasoline in any barrel, cask, can
Jug or other container which
is not painted red are violating

gasoline away from a supply

container was also prosecuted

ton Books.

tiOn Books.
With the interest of all South
Dakota centered OH the solution OF
the primary problem, there is like
ly to be much neglect of registra-
tion. This is matter which should
be given attention by the indi-
vidual, because failure to register
will doubtless mean inability to
cast one ballot OH the primary
day.
Although the legislature of
South Dakota will meet OIL Tues
day of next week to fix definitely
the primary date, there is little
lilSelihood that the legislators will
take any action other than to
amend the present law and the
amendment unless all signs fail,
will be confined To advancement of
the primary date. Werefore the
registration provisions of the law
be in force after the amendment
is passed, just as they are now.
The registration feature of the
law became effective February L..
Each precint clerk is to conduct
party registration until April rs.
Personal statements and signatures
are required. 1t is desirable that
every voter be registered regularly
before April Is, SO that his name
will be OIL the records which are to
be forwarded to the county auditor
on May 1.
However, there is still an open
chance to register after the precinct
records go to the auditor. Caro-
registration will be accepted by the
auditor until May 8. Absence from
the county will be the only excuse
accepted for failure to register, and
unless an unregistered voter is for
titled with such explanation he will
not be entitled to vote
Thus it will be seen that regi.
stration is important. 1t is just as
important to one party member a.
to another, as it applies equally tc
voters of whatever political al.
|legiance.
To vote is one of the chief dutie.
of an American citizen. There i.
altogether too much neglect of thi.
privilege. Men qualified to vote
should exert themselves to exer-
else the right, and the first step in
exercising the right in the coming
primaries is to register.
Go to the clerk of your voting
precinct and see that your name j.
written there before April Is.

Chicago, March-Fancy dancing on
skates has long been made an effort
of achievement, but the latest and
most popular ring pastime is the In
dian war dance on ice, which had it's
origin during the recent sports carni-
val on ST Mary's lake, Glacier Ma
tional Park. The novelty of the idea
has taken such hold that Indian
dancing is the dominating fashion
among the skaters of the Northwest.
1t is ruling passion with the small
boys. They're all doing it" wherever
ponds are frozen over. The craze is
even defiant of the spring thaw now
coming on and threatens to outlast it,
