clan, and Family, in bad Smash.
Franz Kneisel, leader OF the Kneisel
quartette. q summer resident Of Bluehill,
with his family, was In q serious accident
on the Bar Harbor road In Eden early last
evening.
Mr.. Kneisel was driving his own car on
the Bar Harbor road, when q large
Limousine, turning into the road from the
Salisbury Cove road, crashed into him.
From reports OF the accident received
here 1t would seem that the driver OF the
Limousine was entirely to blame for the
accident, Mr.. Kneisel having driven his
car into the ditch in the effort to avoid
collision.
Several OF those in the Kneisel car were
severely injured, but were able to return
to Bluehill in their own car. Those in the
Limousine escaped injury. Both cars were
damaged.
From BluehilI to-day it is learned that
Mrs. Kneisel, who was thrown from the
car, is suffering from shock and severe
shaking up. Her sister, Miss Foch, has a
broken rib. Mr.. Kneisei was thrown
through the windshield, and his face was
badly cut and his knee bruised Miss
Maidie Kneisel has a sprained shoulder.
The two Kneisel boys, who completed the
party, were uninjured.

SARAH BERNHARDT.
The ''Divine Sarah" Will Appear Upon
Screen at The Davis Saturday.

The '.Divine Sarah" VIII Appear Upon
Screen at The Davis Saturday.
Whether or not Nine. Sarah Bernhardt win
be able to make another American tour, she
will be here in her shadow self, in Bluebir
photoplays. and the local display Of the fea-
ture film will be at The Davis theatre on Sat
urday, Aug. S, when Jeanne Dore", the last
piece in which she acted upon the stage will
be shown.
While the stage world and its followers are
wondering just what effect the results Of her
operation will have upon her acting, it is to
be REMEMBERED that Bernhard, mistress OF
pantc:nime, has ever been able to tell more
with the glance Of her eye, or shrug of her
shoulders, than most actresses Of her day
could vouchsafe by word of mouth. Bern
hardt upon the screen may be relied upon to
be the Bernhardt OF old, greatest woman Of
her generation.
Jeanne Dore's husband is a gambler, and
eventually loses all his money. He threatens
to ask his uncle for assistance, but his wife
sells her jewels and she hands him the money
with which to pay his debts. Again he
CANDLES and loses the money. Horror
stricken at his disgrace, he commits suicide
on the doorstep Of his home.
Jeanne Dore has a son. The uncle takes an
interest In their welfare and purchases 3
newspaper shop for them.
When the son jacques grows up he becomes
involved in an intrigue with an INSCRIPTIONS
married woman, Louise, who cares little for
him, and bleeds his pocket numerically. He
appeals to his mother for money, and the
mother, finding that he is deaf to her prayers
to drop the womans acquaintance, refers
him to his uncle.
The uncle refuses to give Jacques the
money and in an excess Of rage the boy
! murders him. He confesses the crime to his
| mistress and she aids his escape. He takes
refuge in his mothers shop, where he is
| arrested. A trial follows and he is sentenced
| to the guillotine. In prison he asks to see
Louise. The mother pleads with her to visit
her son before the execution. Louise laughs
| at the pleadings Of the mother. and refuses
| to visit him. Instead Of telling the boy that
his request Is hopeless, the mother poses as
Louise, in order that her son may die happy.
The final scene shows Jeanne Dore Witness
ing the execution Of her son from . window
ip her home.-Adut.

MINNESOTA LANDS
5000 ACRES OF RED LAKE IN
DIAN RESERVATION WILL BE
PLACED FOR ENTRY.

Warren, Mimi, Jan. Eight
thousand acres of Minnesota land, a
part OF the Red Lake Indian reserva-
ton, known as Mud Lake bottom,
will be thrown open TO entry and
settlement early next spring, accord
ing to an announcement by local
agents today. based on information
received from the general land of.
flee in Washington.
Twice before the interior depart
ment has made arrangements TO open
this land. which Is located In the
eastern part of Marshall county, but
certain complications arose and de-
lays ensued.
Mud Lake bottom was not an agri-
cultural section. but a body of water
known In Minnesota as good fishing
and hunting territory until drainage
operations carried off the water.
Lands along the banks had been pat
ented TO various riparian owners
After the draining. squatters ap-
peared on the choice portions and as
a result disputes arose between the
riparian owners and the i%ntruders as
TO legal title. Litigation along this
line is expected after the spring
opening.
The money obtained by the gov
eminent from the opening will go to
the Indian fund. Ii was stated.

COUNTY SEAT fight
CHARLES MIN COUNTY TOWNS
PLAN FOR ANOTHER
BATTLE.

Wheeler. Jan. IA novel propo-
sitlon has been made. having for its
purpose the adjustment of the county
seat question in Charles Mix county
for all time to come. Wheeler, al
though not situated on a railroad,
has beer the county sea- since the
early days. AT various times since
the Platte line of the Milwaukee Rail
way company was constructed
through the center of the county.
towns on the railroad have made eff
forts to capture the county sea from
Wheeler. but the jealousy between
the railroad towns has thus far pre-
vented any one of them securing
enough votes to ~dispossess Wheeler
of the county seat.
Recently 1t was announced by the
residents of Geddes that their town
woulu make an effort at the election
next November to capture the county
seat. This announcement scarcely
had been made when other OF the
railroad towns intimated that their
towns also would be candidates for
county seat honors. thus giving ev!
dence that the oldtime jealousy be-
tween the railroad towns had not
abated with the passing OF the years.
Now it is proposed that all the rail-
road towns. including Geddes. Wag-
ner. Platte and Lake Andes. submit
their claims to the voters of the coun-
ty at the regular primary election in
June. on the understanding that the
town that secures the largest number
of votes for county seat honors shall
be the town selected to make the
fight against Wheeler at the election
in November. the plan being that the
railroad towns that lost out at the
June primary should give their sup
port to the successful town and do
their part toward having 1t selected
as the county seat In place OF
Wheeler.
In some quarters 1t Is believed that
some of the railroad towns will de-
cline TO enter into such IN arrange
ment and there Is a prospect that
even II they did. the old time jealousy
would again assert itself before the
election In November and on some
pretext or other the railroad towns
defeated at the June primary election
would refuse to support the June
winner at the election In November.

Two Sioux Falls Young Men Have
Slept In Tent Every Night SO
Far This Winter.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 12.-There are
two young men of this city who are
evidently training themselves for
membership in the next arctic explor-
alton expedition. The two aforesaid
young men are Delmar Lowe. a clerk
In the Security National bank. and
Archie Burkholder. a clerk In the of.
flee OF County Treasurer Charles F.
Mundt. The two young men last
spring erected a tent for sleeping
purposes and they have occupied 1t
every night since. no matter what
the condition OF the weather. They
have no stove or any sort OF a heating
device. Both young men claim to be
delighted with their experience and
further stated that mercury will have
to get much lower than ii has been
SO far this winter to drive them to
seek more permanent shelter.

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

New York, Jan. Especial: The
Champagne region In France, Monte
negro and Asiatic Turkey are the the
aters OF the war that are absorbing
the greatest attention. In all of them
heavy fighting Is taking place. The
Russian offensive against the Teu-
tons in east Galicia and volhynia has
almost come to a s%tandstill. The
Russians there are terrifying the po-
sitions that they won and meeting
with little resistance from their an
tagonists.
After the Germans had taken about
700 yards of French trenches In
Champagne the French troops, ac-
cording TO Paris, stopped the attack
short and In vicious counter attacks
r%eoccupied successfully nearly all of
the territory lost. In addition on the
heights OF the Meuse a heavy French
bombardment did great damage TO
the German trenches.
The Montenegrins are yaliantly
fighting everywhere inside their
kingdom against the Austrians.
While admitting the occupation by
the invaders of the position neal
Berne. the Montenegrins also assert
that nea Lepenac In the north and
Ipek in the south Austrian attacks
were repulsed.
The situation In Mesopotamia,
where the Turks and British are en-
gagged along the Tigris river, is still
not clear. owing to the divergent re-
ports of Constantinople and London.
While the British say that the Turks
around Kut-el-Amara are in retreat,
a Turkish communication declares
that IL Is the British who are falling
back and that a force of 5000 lett
in Kut-el-Amara Is surrounded.

farmers LUCKY
NO SHORTAGE OF POTASSIUM IN
SOIL OF STATE, SAYS AG-
ECONOMIST HUTTON.

Bookings, Jan. 12.-'South Da-
kota farmers will not feel the short
age of potassium In the least" SAYS
Associate Agronomist J.. @. Hutton,
OF State college, in referring to the
recent fertilizer report OF Secretary
OF Agriculture Houston. Concerning
the fertilizer and soil fertility situa-
ton In South Dakota Prof. Hutton
says:
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has recently Issued a timely warning
as 10 the conservation Of fertilizing
materials. The fact that potash
potassium-cannot be purchased In
America will undoubtedly be n Sc
rious drawback TO many farmers and
truck growers In the United States.
However, South Dakota farmers will
not feel the shortage of potassium In
the least.
Among the great OF the
state the greatest by far is the sup
ply OF plant food in the soil. Plant
food is the stuff from which crops are
made. There is potassium enough in
the soils of South Dakota to last for
centuries. The average soil OF South
Dakota contains from $4,000 to 40
600 pounds OF potassium In the sur
face layer about seven inches deep
over an acre and the subsoil usually
contains a slightly higher percentage
OF this element.
Let me again call attention TO the
warning TO conserve plant food
Waste not, want not. In South Da-
kota all stalks. straw and manure
should be returned 10 the soil. Lee
gume crops must be grown and then
come war. come peace, the only thing
we shall have TO buy is phosphorus,
and Uncle Sam has enough to furnish
every farm. Now Is a good time to
thank the Lord that we live in Amer
lea. and that we have some good Da-
kota land. But remember that the
Almighty expects us TO manage thai
farm so IL won't wear out. III II goes
on wearing out, as ii has in the past
we are to blame. Remember that
