Baltimore, Aug. 2-The wonderful
German submarine merchant freight

Koenig, and her crew Of 20 men,
sailed late yesterday afternoon from
Baltimore to the open sea, and pos
sible capture or death.
On her coming tower, at the feet
of her little commander, there bent
to the breeze huge basket of roses
and white flowers, the last gift OF
a Baltimore admirer, whose name
Captain Koenig may never know.
And up the old gray wharf at.

the moment the Deutschland's stern

message to the Baltimore agents for
the Entente Allies. The message was
this:
"The Deutschland has started"
Captain Koenig and his men put to
sea knowing all about the man who
sped up the wharf; knew just how
long he had watched there day and
night; knew Just what this message
: would be-. to whom it would 60 and
what it meant. And this is-what it,
meant in Captain Koenig's own words
spoken at the land end Of the gang

minutes before the super-submarine
left:

"that eight warships of the Allies
are waiting for me at the edge of

out in radius of. only FIVE miles. We
shall have to pass unseen within that
fve-mile radius in order to escape.
Eve shall have to make that pas
sage under conditions not entirely
advantageous to US. Were the water
at that point; $50 feet deer it, would
be easier. We could submerge deep

warships. But the water there is
not $50 feet deep. We shall there

ships.
at will be easier for us to get
through the mine strewn North Sea
than to pass the squadron of Allied
warships off the American coast.
But we expect to do it."

war ships waiting just outside the

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Ia the death Of James J. Hill,
the great empire builder and foun-
der Of the Great Northern system
Of railroads, the country loses one
of its wealthiest citizens as we'll as
one Of its greatest benefactors.
While he accumulated fortune
estimated at $3.50. 900, 900 90, he
did il by constructive work which
at the same time added to the for
tunes Of others. He not only
built railroads but he built up the
country to supply traffic for the
roads. Success in his case was
the result not Of gambling on
stocks, but by keen business fore.
sight and the promotion of legiti-
ma to industries.

County School Letter
{By supt. G. G. Fites,

"Truth crushed to earth will rise
again"
The N. E. A. meets in New York
City the last week in June.
The state educational association
meets in Watertown. An enrolment
of $500 teachers is expected.
1t is surprising how many pupils,
and not few teachers, who fail to spell
the word "eighth" correctly.
Question No 10 in Civics was hardly
a fair test for Bon Homme county
eighth grade pupils on account that
we have no organized townships in This
county.
Many of the eighth grade pupils
failed to give satisfactory answers on
the subject Of taxation. Not few of
the applicants accused the assessor of
being responsible for the tax levy.
The recent test in eighth grade spell
ing reveals some very weak spots in
the teaching of this important subject.
In several instances the evidence points
strongly against the teachers in neg
lecting to follow the prescribed course
of study.
Most of the eighth grade applicants
claimed that Grover Cleveland was
elected by Republicans. We are not 80
sure but that they are right in large
measure, notwithstanding that Cleve-
land was democrat. There are times
when the rank and file of political
party will refuse Ito stay put" when
the party leaders choose an obnoxious
candidate.
The Avon schools set a new mile
stone in the history. of their progress
last Tuesday evening. President Har-
Ian of Sioux Falls Baptist College, was
present and addressed large and ap-
preciative audience. The occasion
marked the graduation of the first pu-
pill from the full f,ur-year high school
course, and Miss Elsie Burbeck was
the recipient of such distinguished
honor. The pupils of the eighth grade
also received their diplomas at this
time.
One of the requirements of the
eighth grade examination in Grammar
was short composition on the subject
"Why the Birds Should be Protected" !"
The results are gratifying indeed, and
we are taking the liberty of publishing
one each week. The first one to COM
mand our attention is that of Cathryn
Bennett, of the Springfield public
schools, which is as follows:-"T The
birds sh ould be protected because they
destroy insects, bugs, worms and other
harmful insects. They sing about our
house, if we do not throw stones at
them. making beautiful music for us
at morning, noon and night. Every
bird was made by God, and he made
them to multiply and supply the earth
with music. and if we protect them
feed them and encourage them te
build near our home they will bless
US with their music and their work.

The result of the primary vote
last week has kept several candi
dates on the anxious seat, the vote
being 30 close IN few cases that
it may take the official count to de.
termine the result. On the repub-
lican ticket Norbeck won for gov
ernor By yearly double the vote, Of
both his opponents. McMaster
for lieutenant governor won by a
safe majority. On the congress.
sional ticket Dillon won in the first
district by about 400 majority. In
the second district johnson was
an easy winner. In the third
district Patterson of Gregory and
Bartine, of Oacoma ran a neck and
neck race, &C metimes one being in
the lead and sometimes the other
as the returns came in. 1t now
seems practically certain that
Bartine is the winner. On the
democratic ticket Rinehart and
Morcom were both hopeful of win
ming for several days. At present
it appears settled that Rinehart is
victor. and also that the DIR. Rock
faction has elected the delegates to
the national convention, defeating
the Johnson. Goffey faction.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The Deadwood Telegram lamenss
the fact that so little interest was
taken in our primary election and
suggests that it would be q good
plan to put penalty on the voter
who doesn't vote. The trouble is
not go much with the voter as with
the system. In the first place the
voters know that their votes are
simply an endorsement of a pre-
arranged slate. In the next place
it is not required for support of
any definite principle, for at the
time the primary vote is taken no
platform has been promulgated and
the voter doesn't know whether he
himself will be willing to endorse
the platform when it is proclaimed.
His vote is at most simply an ex-
preston of choice for personal pre-
ferment between candidates, Meth.
er of whom he personally knows
from Adams off OK. Under such
conditions it would be very unjust
to penalize a voter for failing to
take any interest.

Vermillion-Next week is "Swat
the Rooster" week in South Dako.
ia and Saturday, June 10, is
Rooster Day." Thousands of
circulars and placards have been
sent from the Office of the state
food commissioner to every town
in the state and distributed by
merchants and commission men
to the farmers. These circulars
announce "Rooster Day" as a
means to the production of better
eggs and warn farmers and mer.
chants against selling eggs unfit
for food. Fertile eggs undergo de-
composition much more quickly
than the infertile, hence the agita.
tion TO induce farmers to remove
all male birds from their flocks
Immediately after the close of the
spring breeding season. Where
Well-bred, valuable roosters are
owned, these are not killed, but
simply taken from the focks and
kept in separate pens during the
summer months. All other male
birds should be killed or sold for
slaughter next week, as they will
never bring more than now and
consequently their maintenance
longer is not only dead loss but
they cause an enormous depreci-
alton in egg values when allowed to
run with the hens during the sum.

Sunday papers carried telegram
under a New York date line that was of
more than ordinary interest locally. 1t
stated that an order had been placed
in eastern steel mills for 5000 tons Of
steel shapes for highway hndge at
Yankton. OF course the bridge across
the Missouri, as considered last fall, is
