A few weeks ago, when the prices Of
tobacco in England were increased,
many smokers reluctantly r~elinquished
their favorite brands and bought
cheaper mixtures. After a week or two
some of them gave up the search for Il
suitable substitute and returned to their
Die loves. Now the smoker is to haVe
a further trouble. for it is said that
there will be a radical alteration in the
nature of a large number of tobaccos.
The reason for this is that soon the
stocks of atakia in England will nave
been exhausted, and as this tobacco
comes from Turkey, there will be no
further supplies until the way is ended.
Latakia is an integral part OF a large
number of mixtures, and the lavor of
all will be affected by the change. Most
of the latakia is grown is the hinter-
land around the ancient town of La
takia, in Asia Minor and none, it is said,
is grown outside Turkish territory. So
smokers will be called IN to make an
other sacrifice.

An organization has been formed in
Holland for pushing the use of domestic
products in preference to foreign i'm
portations. A circular issued by it de-
clares that i'm many cases foreign goods
arc used instead of domestic solely on
account of Indifference or prejudice,
despite the fact that the domestic article
is just as good or even better. Dutch
goods, it adds, are sometimes marketed
unde foreign names simply because of
this state of affairs. The present MEM
bershlp OF the association is more than
1000, the Amsterdam section being
headed by the burgomaster of that city,
and 1t is expected that all the members
will work actively in the interests of
home products.

One Of the most ef%fectual remedie.
for wounds is found in a powder made
by DIR. Felix Mendel, of Essen, Ger
many. II consists of a mixture of 20
part ~bicarbonate of soda, nine parts
acetic acid (vinegar) and 10 parts
sugar. Superficial wounds are covered
with a thick layer of the powder but
deeper wounds are completely filled
with 1T. AS soon as the mixture is
placed on a raw sore carbon dioxide is
liberated and this causes a constant
low of fluid from the wound. Inflam-
nation is quickly checked by using this
powder.

RULING ESTABLISHES
PERSONAL CLAIMS IN
FAULkT0N BANK CASE
Aberdeen Men Did Not Secure
Legal Title to Stock, But
Must Help Pay.

Faulkton. $. d.. April 1.-The dcci-
sion of Judge Thomas L.. Bouck. to
nthe litigation over the Security State
bank of FaullSton, recently handed
down his findings in the matter, and
these have just been filed with the
clerk of the circuit court for Faulk
county.
The court holds that f. 3. Cannon.
president of the First National bank of
Aberdeen. c.. H. Christian and others,
who supposed they had purchased So
600 worth of the bank stock from the
estate of the late A. w. Morse, presi-
dent and chief owner of the bank, had
never in fact obtained title to the
stock, for the reason that the sale had
never been confirmed by the county
court of Faulk county. The court holds
that the Morse estate was the real
owner of the ban stock. and that it
must pay 100000 on the stock to reim-
burse creditors and depositors of the
bank.
The court also holds that F. B. Gam
non and others, although not real own
ers We're apparent owners of stock, and
as to the new depositors, We're en-
trapped and held liable for assessment
of 100 per cent, or $4,000, on the amount
they had paid in, making a total OF
$4,000 to be paid by the Morse estate
and Messrs. Cannon ct al, to the credi-
tors and depositors.
1t is probable only a portion of this
amount will be needed, however, and
the courts decision holds that the So
600 paid by Cannon and Others for
bank stock is to be repaid from other
assets of the bank. with other claims
against it.
Certain life insurance. estate and
trust funds paid to the bank by Mrs.
Morse are to be returned to her, and
other notes and property taken from
he bank by the estate are to be re-
turned. State Bank Examiner j. L.
Wingfield has declared a dividend of
37k per cent to creditors of the insti-
tuition. A payment of IS per cent was
made a year ago, M 1t is certain the
remaining 374& per cent will be paid.
The bank closed on March 81, 1914,
with deposits to the amount of $66, 900.
The institution was not closed on ac-
of insolvency. but because of liti-
cation between Mrs. Morse, widow and
administrators of the estate Of A. w.
Morse, and the new stockholders OF
the bank. A large number of lawsuits
followed the closing of the bank, and
finally the actions were consolidated

1900 ACRES BURNED LAND
IN BLACK HILLS RESEEDED

Pierre. s. D.. April S.-During the
year 1915 h largest amount of plant
ing and seeding of burned over land in
the Black Hills with new stock by the
government which ever has been done
In n year was completed. Whenever
a forest fire occurs, the government
plants new seeds and trees as rapidly
as 1t can. to put the land on a produc-
ing basis for the future, to prevent ero-
sion, and to regulate the stream flow,
as all these are factors concerned with
~forestation. In 1915 q total of 1880
acres were seeded and 100 acres plant
ed on the Elk creek, where a large
fire occurred, n 44O acres near Du-
mont were seeded. 1t is estimated that
about 10000 acres Of burned-over land,
recurring artificial reforesting, still re-
mains in the Black Hills forest, and
thes. will be covered as quickly as pos
sible. The government is about the
largest and best Arbor day follower
anywhere.

scanty news given out by the Mexican
officials at Juarez ais received by tele-
graph threw no light on the operations
OF the troops pursuing Villa, beyond
confirming the impression that the
least temporarily.
Army officers here show no hesi-
fancy in expressing their opinion that
to attempt to pursue Villa farther
without the aid of the railway, is al
most a hopeless task, unless, of course,
only incalculable force is the question
as to whether Villa is wounded or not.
The Mexican commanders are en-
phatic in their assertions that the
candit is seriously disabled. but their
belief is not shared by the American
commanders.

put every available automobile into the
field gathering names on petitions in
the hope of making a coup at the last
moment, and lay their petitions before
the county commissioners and thus Sc
cure a place on the ticket at the COM

A county seat primary had been
strongly agitated by other towns in the
county, and arrangements had been
attempted for such a primary, although
Lake Andes did not favor the primary
plan.
The news leaked out here Sunday Of
Lake Andes intentions and a meeting
was called M practically every aMto-
mobile in the city and vicinity went in
to he country early Monday morning
to secure signatures to the Geddes Pc
tition n Withdrawals from the Lake
Andes petitions. The fight will prob
ably be a warm one from now until
election.

has had a railroad, but jealousy on the
part Of the different railroad towns
have always left the county seat at
Wheeler, where it was originally To-
