ON THE SHIPPER AND THE RAILROAD.

Chas c. Prouty while member Of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, in discussing the relation Of the
Commission to the shipper and the railroad. said
THE original purpose Of the Interstate Commerce
Act was to protect the shipper. The most eminent
who ever sat on the Interstate Commerce Commission

the history Of that commission Judge Cooley published
opinion in which he said that the business of the
commission was not to enable railroads to maintain
reasonable rates. but to protect shippers against the
imposition Of unreasonable rates. Now I think since

THIRST TRAIN
SIOUX CITYANS HAULED TO
SOUTH DAKOTA WET TOWN.

Sioux City, Feb. To just what
extent Jefferson, S. D., has become an
oasis TO the thirsty of Sioux City
who have been unable to adapt them
selves to dry" conditions is indicat-
ed by passenger statistics compiled by
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad, which affords the only train
service to the South Dakota town.
These figures show that during
January the Sioux City ticket offices
of the company sold approximately
1000 tickets to the wet spot. This
does not include those who passed
through from other communities in
nearby Iowa territory.
Before the saloon was banished
from Iowa the average monthly tray
ell from Sioux City to Jefferson was
about 700, the increase in passenger
traffic being about 200 per cent. 1t
is not the present intention of the
company to use additional coaches,
although this may become necessary
with the coming of warmer weather.
The train which leaves here at
1:1O d. m. has been dubbed by rail
road employees "the thirst special. :
The returning trains arrive here at
3:45 D.. m. and 4:45 p. m. The morn
ing train to jefferson leaves here at
$40 o'clock, but it is not as popular
as the one in the afternoon.
There are only two retail bars al

prietor of the New Grand bar, who is
located at Jefferson, recently turned
down an offer of. $4,000 for his
place.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. Special: The
lone looked for offensive OF the Teu-
tonic allies against Saloniki may now
be on or is near at hand. An agency
dispatch from Saloniki reports that
an artillery duel has been in progress
for two days near Dorian, where
strong forces of the central powers
for some time have been facing the
position of the entente allies. Such
a bombardment might well be the
prelude to an advance movement by
the Teutons and their allies, which,
according to recent reports from the
Balkans. was set for about the mid
die OF the present month, but which
may even now be i'm progress. Ac-
cording TO the message through en-
tente sources reporting the opening
of the bombardment, the British
heavy guns were dominating those OF
the Germans and Bulgarians opposed
to them.
Elsewhere along the many fighting
lines of the widespread war field few
operations OF importance have been
recorded. on the Franco-Belgian
front the French artillery continues
its activity. the bombardment being
intense in the Champagne and the Ar
gonne.
Berlin reports cases of sporadic ac-
tivity by infantry, one instance being
south of the La Basse canal, where
the British are said to have bee re-
pulsed when one of their detachments
attempted an advance, while south OF
the Somme. where the Germans made
gains. only recently the French were
beaten off in a hand grenade attack.
In the Vosges the German guns
have been bombarding French posi-
tions.
Few reports of pronounced activity
from Russia or Galicia have come.
a German airship attack on DyinsB
being the only incident in this wal
theater mentioned in the German
communication.
Along the lines where the Aus
TRANS and Italians are engaged th'
deadlock shows no signs of being bro

Italians are worn out and discourag

dications of tagging Italian activity
however, are reflected in the ofticia
reports.

a big wheat crop, sell it at a small
price and ship it to Minneapolis to be
ground into flour. Experiences in
the past show hat 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 growing 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 be-
yond the boundaries Of the state. we
could easily have maintained 100000
to 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 argu-
ment of shipping grain and not rails
ing stock. With cattle and hogs sell
ing at the price which they have the
last few years, farmers have done eX-
ceptionally well in feeding both
steers and hogs.
Then there Is still another serious
phase of this question that some Of
us, | fear, have forgotten. would
like to add that a COW or a steer Is
worth $50 to each farmer solely be
cause of the anu as a fertilizer.
There is no fertilizer in the world
which the farmers can procure so
cheaply as |barnyard and stock pen
manure Let me illustrate TINS
again: When you sell a dollars
worth of hay off your farm you have
taken out of the soil at least 70 cents
worth of commercial fertilizer, but
when you sell a dollars worth OF
dairy products like cream of butter,
you have really only removed less
than a tenth of / per cent of fertil-
izer. provided the cows are kept on
the farm"

Mitchell, Feb. Tone of the
best methods of rescuing themselves
from a losing grain market situation
is for South Dakota farmers to raise
more livestock and grow less wheat
said President e. G. Perisho. of State
college, before the Livestock Breed
ers' association at Mitchell on We'd
nesday. President Perisho asserted
that farmers got $1,000, 600, 900 less
for their products last year than did
the middlemen; that although there
is much talk of building terminal ele-
vators to break the power controlling
the wheat market, yet the farmer can
do most for himself by growing less
wheat and more stock.
Few things are more absurd for a
state like South Dakota than to grow

been inaugurated here and at Winner
for the organization of a county agrl-
cultural extension association ana
the employment of a county farming
expert. whose duty it will be to carry
the work of good farming throughout
Tripp county. 1t is probable the
commercial clubs of Winner, Colome
and other towns will get behind the
movement and aid in bringing it to
a successful conclusion. 1t is believ-
ed that the employment OF such q

large increase in the crop production

Health Hints for Hot Weather.

Be sure the leftover food is not con-
animated by flies. Be sure the icebox
is immaculate. Remember that germs
cannot resist boiling, and if there is
any sick child or person in the house
hold the safest way is to use enameled
ware in the sick room and boil it thor
oughly before it is used again or by
another member of the family. Fly
screens are useful in keeping out flies,
but do not save one from the neces-
sity of killing the flies that are already
inside the house. All fruit and vege-
tables should be very carefully washed.
and, better still, peeled If they have
had much handling. Take reasonable
precautions of this kind and then
don't worry. Many child has been
worried into an illness by an overanx-
ious mother.

For Wear in
Autumn Days

An attractive frock of satin and
georgette crepe shows very consery-
alive Interpretation of the new mode
which sometimes leaves the spectator
in doubt as to whether the garment is
a coat or dress. But in this instance
the coat indication is not very strong.
An underpetticoat of crepe is finished
at the bottom with a band of the satin,
and narrower band at the front dec
crates the panel effect.
The bodice is simply cut and plain,
but it sets close to the figure and but
tons at the front, where there is a
square cut-out at the neck. This is
filed in with small vestee of crepe,
and wired frill is set about the edge
of the opening in the silk. The square
opening corresponds with the style of
the bodice and saves the day for it.
The plain bodice buttoning straight
down the front cannot lay claim to
becomingness.
The sleeves merit little attention.
They are straight and rather full from
the shoulder to the cuff. The cuffs

finished with pipings where the
sleeves are gathered into them.
The satin skirt is shirred at the top
and set on to the bodice, making this
portion of the skirt and bodice single

made of cloth, in which even less of
the crepe underskirt shows, and they
are those that leave no doubt as to
whether they are coats or dresses.

the advent of cold weather, they have
Everything to recommend them. Small
separate capes of velvet or crepe and

i'm JELLY SEASON
METHODS OF PUTTING UP vARI-
Gus KINDS OF FRUIT.
Tartaric or citric Acid Added to the
Juics Will Be Found to Effect an
mprovement--Must Not BE
Used Always.

1t Is Just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces, peaches, or
pears as from any other kind of fruit,
IL you know how, according to Miss
Addie d. Root of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. all thatfis necessary
Is to add enough tartaric or citric acid
to the Juice to make it taste about as
sour as good sour apple. This usu-
ally means about level teasp0onful
to a quart of juice. It destroys the
delicate flavor of peach and pear juice
somewhat but improves the flavor Of
sweet apple and ounce juice.
Blackberries, blueberries, raspber-
ries, partially ripe grapes, crab APP
pies, sour apples, and plums usually
make good jelly because they have
enough acid already and also contain
a substance called pectin which must
be present and must be brought out
with the juice by heating if jelly is
to be made. That is why jelly-makers
do not simply press out the juice from
cold fruit. All apples ana similar
fruits have enough pectin for jelly
making purposes. ~
In making apple jelly cover the
fruit with water before cooking and
boil 20 or 80 minutes. After boil
ing has continued 10 or Is minutes,
add three-quarters of a cupful of sugar
for every cupful of juice. The sugar
that will be required should have been
measured into pun and warmed In
the oven for while before it is added.
It should be carefully stirred in to pre-
vent burning.
AS soon as the glasses are filed
with the hot jelly they should be set in
cool place while jellying takes place.
They should be sealed from the air.
but If the jelly has been slightly over
cooked it may be covered with, panes
of glass and allowed to harden in the
sun. When 1t is well set pour hot par
af1in over the top and put clean tin
covers on the glasses. Store them
away in dry, cool place where the
jelly cannot mold.

on the table stood the big cups just
drained of strong black coffee which
Willett had brewed on their return
from the farm.
'sOne would say the events of this
night could hardly have been crowded
into week." said Willett. He got up
and went to the window. Dawn was
breaking, hesitantly. As he stood there,
conscious of the grayness and stiffness,
sensitive to the almost palpitant mys-
terry of that twilight. he became aware
of warm suffusion of color. pale and
golden. turning the pallor of dawn
into a soft and velvety haze, which
passed swiftly and merged into the

CARRIED for the
Dancing Party

When little Marie dances she. may
wear the very simplest of all frocks,
like that shown in the picture. 1t is
nothing more than straight piece of
hin silk, chiffon or crepe, accordion
plated, and sewed into narrow band
of fine embroidered batiste or lace or
organdie. The plated material is cut
out under the arms in shallow curve,
to make room for the arm, and the
bodyless skirt is suspended by shoulder
straps of velvet ribbon. A rather wide
hem weights the silk a little and gives
the dress Ii pretty "set."
Under this very simple affair, which
hardly requires that one should think
twice about it. an ample petticoat and
small bloomers of batiste are trimmed
with furbelows of lace and ribbon and
disclose much more work in their
making than is needed for the dress.
Short sox and strap slippers are worn
~ith this dancing garb.
