PURE FOOD INSPECTORS
ARE AFTER DEALERS

Vermillion, Aug. 7.-Hot weather al
ways brings trouble for the handler of
pershable food products unless he exer-
cises constant vigilance. The conditions
found by inspectors of the state food
department recently show taat this sea.
son is no exception and in several cases
circumstances have shown to the salts
faction of the inspectors and the com
missioner that the evidence found war
ranted nothing less than court action.
In Aberdeen action has been began
against Armour & Co., who maintain a
local branch there for distributing pur-
poses, on a charge of shipping rotten
meat from Aberdeen to local dealer in
Summit. The defendants being a cor
poration, have ten days in which to
answer summons.
In justice court in DeSmet a butcher
from Iroquois was tried and found guilty
of slaughtering and selling for food a
COW afflicted with lumpy jaw. The fine
was fixed at SIS.
At washington, Inspector Lovald, who
had also handled the Iroquois
prosecuted butcher on the ch 81
selling spoiled meat The offender was
fined $40 and costs of 1870
Inspectors have also been active in
ferreting out sales of rotten eggs, A few
days ago a farmer at Carthage was fined
for this ofense on complaint of Inspec-
tor Cushman, and Inspector Hatch re-
Gently started action against farmer at
Marion on the same charge. On the
whole, the farmers of the state have used
unusual care in marketing their eggs
this season, and in the opinion of Food
Commissioner Frary, South Dakota eggs
would stand good chances of being raised
in grade in the eastern markets if the
merchants Of the state would use equal
care in handling and shipping the eggs
few days storage in hot shed or
back room, or shipment in uncooled

MOTHERS CONGREsS AND PAR
ENT-TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

We have been asked whether Par
ent- Teachers Association is worth while
We believe it is, and especially is such
an organization needed in Custer, where
for years the parents and teachers have
been at variance on so many vital points.
Where children are concerned, what
ever touches on their life in the home
and school is of supreme interest to both
parents and teachers-in fact to the
whole community.
The Home and School are inseparable
in the education of the child one is the
balance of the other. Where teachers
and parents are in accord a successful
school is the result, and unless there is
such cooperation the children are being
deprived of some rights.
Many children become discontented
with school life because they are mis-.
understood either at home or in the
school-and very often in both places
With a strong bond of interest and sym
pathy between the teachers and parents
of such children, the element of discon-
tent would be an unknown factor
Teachers and parents have their prob
lens and trials apenty, and if these can
be considered at regular meeting of a
Parent-Teachers Association, the solu-
ton of the same would be simple in
deed.
1t is a good thing for the patrons OF
any school to counsel together" and
we believe the patrons of the Custer
school will concede the wisdom of this
and endorse our movement for the well
fare of the Home and School.

Secretary.

STATE GAME PRESERVE.

Pierre, Aug 5.-The state game de-
partment is continuing its work of build
ing up herds of the native wild animals
of the state in the state forest reserve
near Custer, for the preservation of the

of this preserve. They have established
families of deer, elk and buffalo in the
reserve, and will this year locate a num-

SHORTAGE OF FRUIT.

The Lincoln Trade Review says: Re-
ports from many of the fruit growing
districts in the mountain states, indicate
that there will be a much greater short
age than has heretofore been realized.
In some sections frosts created havoc
with the crop early in the season, and
associations are reporting shortages from
different districts running into hundreds
of car lots. 1t is advisable for people to
realize that prices on fruits are going to
remain very firm and there is nothing
upon which to base any possibility of
cheaper fruits than are now coming.
There is general feeling on the part of
those who are buyers to hesitate until
later in the season, believing that cheap
er fruit will be obtained. From all in
dications, instead of this condition COM
ing, fruits will be higher as the season
progresses and as the general shortage
becomes more appreciated The mar
ket on peaches, pears and similar fruits
is an advancing one, and probably in a
number of lines, cheaper prices have
maintained up to the present time than
can be expected in the future There
certainly is nothing to warrant purchas.
ers in delaying until later in the season
for prices will be higher instead OF
lower.

FOR FOREST ROADS
Seven Thousand Dollars is the Amount
Appropriated to Black Hills
Reserves.

The Lead Call says In the course of
the regular business of the Black Hills
Secretaries meeting Saturday, it was an
nounced that advices from South Da-
kota congressman had brought the in
formation that $1,000 is the amount
apportioned to the Black Hills forest
from the 81 100000 yearly appropriation
recently made by congress for the con-
struction of roads in national forests.
The local forest office has received ad-
vices on the matter and from this source
it is learned that the s., 900 appropriated
for this year, which is now available
will have to be expended at some point
where surveys for forest roads have al
ready been made, 1t is thought lost
likely that this first appropriation will
go to the improvement Of the road be-
tween Custer and Sylvan Lake and that
the work is then likely to be extended
to the Pactola-Sheridan piece of the
Deadwood- Denver highway
In making the yearly distribution Of
the Sl,OOO,O00 appropriation, several fac
tors come in for consideration, the most
important of which is the size of the for
est. Comparatively, the Black Hills
forest is of small area, having in the
neighborhood of 100000, while there
are some as great as 25, 600, 600.
Before the Bacs Hills appropriation
can be devoted to the construction Of a
Spearfsh canyon road, survey of the
proposed course will have to be made
and it will be possible to complete only
small section every year, because of
the policy which gives a proportionate
allotment to each forest, instead of un-
dertaking one large project and provid-
ing sufficient funds to complete it.

HILLS H0MESTEADS
Open for Entry. Congressman Candy
Wires That President Wilson
has Signed Bill.

A message to Deadwood and Lead pa
pers from Congressman Harry l.. Candy,
brings the information that President
Wilson has signed the bill repeating
the restrictions on homesteads on agri-
cultural lands in the national forest re-
serves in Lawrence and Pennington
counties
This means that all agricultural lands
in these two counties, which have not
heretofore been taken up as homesteads
under the provisions of previous laws,
are now open for entry. These lands
have been designated and surveyed by
the officials of the Black Hills forest Of
fee and their availability as homesteads
has been awaiting the recently taken &C.
| ton of congress, which was made effec-
tive 10y the signature of President Will
SON Forest Supervisor Kelleter reports
that there are already large number of
applications for these lands, some of
which were occupied in the past, but
abandoned by the locators.
THE KAOLIN INDUSTRY WING.
J. w. Starbuck and force of men load
ed a car of kaolin yesterday for ship
ment to the Des Moines Refining COM
pany. j. w, besides his own work has
kept three men and two teams busy at
good wages at the kaolin mines for sew
eral months. Recently they completed
large shed for drying the kaolin with a
storage capacity of seventy ton. Most
of the work has been done stripping the
kaoin beds Of their top covering ofshale
rock uncovering the raw material for
future use.
Contrary to reports published in sew
eral Of the Black Hills papers lately,
there is no litigation pending between
the Kinnecott company and the Des
Moines Refining company over the kao-
lin mining rights. This was settled in
circuit court last spring in favor of the
Des Moines concern, the court deciding
that the original filings made under that
concern had all the legal rights. The
only litigation now pending, it is under
stood, is small damage suit against the
Kinnecott company for removing car
load of kaolin from the disputed prop
erty last winter.
The Kinnecott company in the early
spring leased patented land of J L.
Emick, of Oral, containing large depos-
its Of the kaolin. At that time they
loaded and shipped two cars to their
Chicago Heights factory, but since have
been inactive. Buffalo Gap Gazette, 9Th.
