FEW FOUND TO BE PERFECT
According to Tests Made the Ideal
Husband Seems to Be Some-
what Rare Animal.

In a recent husband show each COM
petitor was required to do certain
things and answer certain questions.
says Pearson's Weekly.
The ideal husband answered all the
questions and did all his tasks without
fail.
Are you the husband every wife
should have? II SO:
Can you give the day of the week
you were married on and its full date
Do you know when your mother-in-
laws birthday is?
When you left for the office this
morning what kind of dress was your
wife wearing?
Can you say offhand what the mar
ket prices of eggs. butter. cheese,
meat and bread are?
Do you know the cheapest shopping
places in your neighborhood?
One of the tests the husbands had
was as follows: The wives stood behind
it. Each husband was required to pick
out his wife's hand. A good many
failed!
Do you make a point OF always
praising your wife when she has
cooked anything more daintily than
usual?
Do you tell her she's the best wife
in the world?
Have you ever acknowledged to her
that you are wrong and she is right
in any argument?
II you can answer these questions
satisfactorily then you can put your
self down as the perfect husband-ac
cording to this interesting and in
structive test, at any rate.

crawled to where SiletZ knelt, weep
ing, with her hands over her face.
He crouched low to the ground and
laid his heavy muzzle against her boot,
whining dolorously.
Suddenly. in the momentary silence.
Poppy Ordway spoke. Her face was
flushed like an April dawn. Chance
and the courage of the last throw lent
1t the last touch of ravishing charm.
"Kismet!" she said, 81 am the only

The timberman WINGED at the bru-

His fiorid face darkened with rage.
"Ah, yes! So you won his love with
your pretty detective work! You'll

Thus was the crucial moment pre-
sented to Poppy Ordway all suddenly.

"Yes!" she cried, yes! offer

With q beautiful gesture she
stepped toward Sandry and held out
both hands. her golden head up. her
slumbrous blue eyes sensuous and
black with excitement. her whole ex-
quisite body a lure with the mighty
abandon of her passion and her reck-

STATE NEWS.

Woonsocket - Local authorities
have declared war on automobile
speeders and have instituted a strict
enforcement of the laws governing
the speed at which automobiles may
be u within the city limits. Thus
far a number of arrests have been
made, and fines have been imposed
on the offenders.
Ethan-The little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur Nelson and her old
er brother were playing in the barn
on the Nelson farm, five miles from
Ethan. when they set the barn on
fire. The little boy escaped, but the
little girl was burned to death In the
barn. A neighbor. wrapped In blan-
cts, rushed into the flaming building
to rescue the child. but was too late.
He brought out the body, which was
horribly burned, and life was extinct.
Chamberlain - Frank Duba, a
farmer OF this vicinity. has received
a letter from a brother who was serv-
ing In the Austrian army, and who
now is a prisoner of the Russians.
He vas taken prisoner soon after the
commencement of the war. In his
letter he states that the Austrian and
German prisoners are well cared for,
and that they are putting in their
time to the best possible advantage
until the close of the war permits
them to return to their homes.
Pierre-Elkhead, a Sioux Indian
with the ideas of some white men as
to securing revenues. got out his
pillow and plowed up a road north of
Eagle Butte, where Ii climbed over
quite a hill. The guileless Sioux
claimed he did 1t to keep his
wagon from crowding the horses
while he was hauling hay down the
hill, but at the same time he happen
ed to be handy with his team when
autos ran into the freshly plowed
trail, and could not make the grade
without the assistance of a team
which would be supplied at the rate
of 81 for getting the stalled car clear.
Wilmot-August Shriner. a tran.

ty Jail on the charge of attacking
Jacob Folkestad, a farmer living near
Wilmot, with a p%itchfork. with intent
to kill. The men had a dispute over
wages which the farmer owed Shriner
who had been working for him.
Folkestad and his wife overpowered
the assailant by striking him yer
the head with a heavy stick. and then
they bound his hands and feet with
ropes. bundled him into a wagon and
took him to the county seat, where
the prisoner was turned over to the
authorities.

WATCH WEIGHTS
COMMISSIONER FRARY WARNS
CONSUMERS TO WATCH PUR-
CHASES FOR SHORT
CONTENTS.

vermillion, Oct. 26.-"Watch care
fully 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 sug-
gestion given to housewives by State
Food Commissioner Frary. On ac-
count of the prevailing high prices OF
food consumers are warned to watch
their purchases for adulteration and
short weight. Reports received at
the office of the commissioner 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 pro-
viding 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
weight labelling law covering all food
in packages. This law Is generally
complied with, Recently inspectors
have found much honey sold in small
lone pound" frames which vas not
stamped TO show the weight of honey
AS the actual amount of honey in
these frames varies greatly, the pro
ducers should sort land grade the
product and stamp the average
weight on each carton. Many pro
ducers and jobbers have been notified
of these requirements.
Chapter 36S of the laws of 1915
established standards of weight fol
agricultural products and fixed tn.
United States standard bushel as the
unit for the of these prod
ucts. 1t also fixed the weights of the
bushel of such commodities. Con
sumers should insist that for a bush
ell Of potatoes they receive 60 pounds
and for a peck Is pounds. Apples
according to this law, must weigh Al
pounds to the bushel. However, al
the law fails to provide means fol
enforcement, violations of these
standards go uncorrected.
