two weeks the body of William Nc
Carthy, a sheepherder OF the Big
Powder river in Montana, has laid in
the cabin of Gus Aronson northwest
of here, viewed through the window
by many associates, yet untouched.
When the tragedy was first discOv-
cred by neighbors. and it was learned
that the unfortunate man had appar-
emily frozen TO death during the re
cen cold spell, word was sent to the
coroner at Miles City asking for in
struction, but to date none has been
received and the body lies where it
was first seen. Mccarthy, who was
about so years old, had not been in
that section of the country long and
little is known of his past. Residents
of that section are considerably eX-
ercised because no action has been
taken.

MADISON A DISTRICT"
COMMISSIONERS MEET TO REAR
RANGE DIVIDING LINES -
CULNERT CONTRACT LET.

Madison has attained proportions
which make her eligible to name a
county commissioner all by herself.
To rearrange the three commits
sioner districts in Lake county, the
commissioners are in session this
afternoon in the auditors room in the
courthouse. 1t falls upon the COM
missioners to redistrict the county
every four years. 1t is the aim TO ar
range the districts so that the pop
ulation will be divided as equally as
possible among them.
The commissioners said today that
Madison city would probably COM
prise a whole commissioner district.
At present Lake View and Franklin
townships have been included with
Madison in this district.
AT a session of the commission held
Yesterday the contract for supplying
culverts to be used in the county this
year was awarded to the Sioux Falls
Culvert company. The bid of the
Sioux Falls concern was the best of a
total of five tenders received by the
commission. The culverts are to be
supplied as wanted.

SIOUX CITY STRIKE
CUDAHY AND ARMOUR PLANTS
ARE COMPLETELY TIED UP.

Sioux City, Feb. 25.-The strike
of about 100 butchers in the Cudahy
packing plant on Tuesday spread 10
other departments and TO the Armour
company today and tonight about
1900 men are idle.
This move followed a formal order
given out by leaders at a mass meet
ing Tuesday night when the men in
other departments of the Cudahy con
Germ and employees Of the Armour
company were urged 10 join in a SYM
pathetic strike. None of the EN-
ployes of the independent packing
companies had joined the strike to
night.
Mass meetings are being held to
night by the striking workers, at
which it is expected some action will
be taken concerning plans of a settle
ment, but so far officials Of the two
companies have made no 0 toward
a conference with their employees.
Both plants are tied up completely,
but there was no check in receipts of
live stock today, nor a disposition on
the part of traders to push prices
lower.

INTERESTING FEATURES AT
TEND RED CROSS NIGHT
LAST SHORT COURSE
SESSION.

Red Cross night, which marked
the closing of the farmers institute
and short course last night in the
gymnasium of the new Central school
while not directly bearing on farm
life, proved to be one of the most in
structive and generally interesting
sessions OF the week.
The history of the Red Cross So
ciety, internationally and locally, and
the aim of its members were thor
Oughly gone into, ways of preventing
disease were outlined and there were
entertainment features of a high
order.
A resume of the Red Cross work
in South Dakota was given by Mrs.
II. II. Holdridge, chairman of the
Lake county branch of the society.
The South Dakota commission was
established at Armour three years
ago by Mrs. f.. u. Wanzer, who is still
the head of the state body. Mrs.
Holdridge outlined the society's am
bition, and told of the campaign it is
waging to educate the public to
stamp out tuberculosis and prevent

Mrs. Holdridge explained that the
main object in holding annual Red
Cross seal sales is to raise funds with
which TO combat tuberculosis, and
she suggested uses to which the seals
could be put. She said she hoped
the time is near when butchers and
merchants will affix Red Cross
stamps to the packages that go out
of their places of business, and when
every piece of ice delivered will bear
one of the seals.
Miss M. A. Winters, Red Cross
nurse, told of the founding of the
society and of the strides it had made
since its origin in Switzerland in
1859. Miss Winters related that the
Red Cross movement in the United
States had its inception in Washing.

attached his signature to the Red
Cross treaty in 1877. Clara Barton
was the first American president OF
the socity.
Miss Alice Lorraine DAILY gave two
highly appreciated readings, The
Small Boys Troubles" and Little
Paul's Death" An exceedingly wei
received feature was a drill by 9
number OF little school girls, whC
wore p~lacards bearing the names o.
states in which laws had been passed
to discourage the common drinking
cup. Under the direction of Miss
Olson, little girls rendered in a pleas
ing n the song, South Da
kota." The singing of the Norma
School Glee club and the Girls Gle'
club won high praise.
The state health exhibit, including
posters, plaeards and pictures, which
was brought from the state headquar
tiers at Armour especially for tn
meeting, were on display.
Geo. II. Farmer presided at thu
meeting.

WATER wagon HERE
FIRST CITY OWNED SPRINKLER
is OF LATEST MODEL STEEL
TANK TYPE.

In furtherance of the plan to elm
mate, so far as is possible, the dust
nuisance on downtown streets, the
city council has received one of the
latest types of steel tank sprinkling
agons and the vehicle is being
erected today in the warehouse OF
Cuisine & Waskey. The vehicle IS
equipped with a vertical sprinkling
attachment, and is capable of sprink-
ling to a width of about fourteen feet.
1t was purchased from the Stude-
baker company, of South Bend. Ind,
for $245.75, freight prepaid to Mad
ison.
1t is the first city owned sprinkler
Madison has had. Heretofore the
sprinkling has been done by men who
owned a sprinkler. The method
proved unsatisfactory, and the coun-
Gil was petitioned by the Madison
Merchants association to purchase a
city sprinkler and engage a man by
the month to operate It,. A man to
run the wagon will probably be ap-
pointed next month.

NOT AFTER LOANS
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN CLEARING
OLD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ERS MOVE WITH CAUTION.

Aberdeen, Feb. 25. - Aberdeen
bankers complain that they find it
almost impossible to place loans on
South Dakota farms in this region,
even though they offer the money at
very low rates. Heads of loan com
panies make the same statement. A
leading Aberdeen banker made the
assertion today hat more farm mort
cages have been paid off within the
past two months than during the pre-
Yious fifteen years in South Dakota,
and that the farmers are i'm less need
OF money, and are making less de
mands for loans now than at any
other time within his experience in
the state, covering a period of over
thirty years.
Many farmers are borrowing mon
ey on chattel security. for the pur-
pose of increasing their holdings of
cattle, hogs, sheep or horses and to
build silos and plant alfalfa, but real
estate loans are few and far between.
Commenting upon the situation,
one banker said There is less call
for and less real need of money by
the farmers today than there eve has
been in the history of this section of
the Dakotas. The situation last year
OF a large small grain crop and high
prices has brought sudden wealth and
prosperity to the farmer.
But the prosperity has not gone
to his head, and he realizes that year
in and year out it is not sound bust
ness sense and good farming to be
dependent on either a good grain
yield or a good market. Consequent
~ he is paying off the mortgage on
his farm and buying more and better
cattle and getting into a position
where he will not be dependent on
the vagaries of a single season"

GOOD YEAR PREDICTED

GOOD CHANCE-CORN IA
NORED BY MANY.

While the evenly distributed heavy
falls of snow of the winter have lent
reasonable assurance that the soil i'm
this district will be in excellent con-
dition this spring to receive and ger
inmate practically all kinds of grain,
a bulk of the farmers and retired
farmers attending the short course,
who gave an opinion at ali, predicted
that corn text summer will stand a
better chance of turning out well
than will wheat and oats. They eX-
pressed the opinion that only eN-
tremely late or early frosts or un-
usually severe storms can prevent the
raising of a good corn crop in the
year 1916.
While admitting that the thorough
ly moistened soil will greatly favor
the planting and early growing of
small grain, the older farmers cite
the fact thai in this district an eX-
tremely hot summer has invariably
followed the coolest winters. They
point out that corn thrives much bet
ter than do other cereals in hot
weather.
Practically all who voiced an opin-
ion are under the impression that un-
less unnatural climatic conditions
prevent, a near record breaking crop
of GOT vegetables should be harvest
ed here next fall. 1t is believed that
soil will be in such excellent condi-
ton for early vegetable growth that
only an extremely backward midsum-
mer and fall can materially retard

ELECTION SHOWS VALUE OF
ADVERTISING IN NEWSPAPERS

CHICAGO. Nov. 17.-The result
Of the 1916 election was the greatest
proof ever offered of the value of
Intelligent newspaper advertising,
advertising experts point out. Their
conclusions were generally shared by
men around the Western headuuar-
ters of both political parties.
East of the Mississippi, the Repub.
leans out-advertised the Democrats
two to one. Hughes swept New
York, Indiana, Illinois, and most OF
the so-called Eastern pivotal states
West of the Mississippi the Repub
llcans did very little advertising in
newspapers. Democrats swampeC
the papers with ads in the Western
states. Hughes carried only three
states west of the Mississippi, and his
losses in that region defeated him fol
the presidency.
