Arrest Ball PLAYER,

neutrality-suspicious. he sold one of
his employers horses in order to col
lect the sum alleged to be due him
in wages, a young man named Ed
Doyle, employed on a farm near Brook
ings, was arrested on the charge of
horse stealing. His wife, who was en-
ployed on the farm with him, did not
accompany her husband and the off,
Ger who arrested him, deciding to re-
main on the farm where both secured
employment several weeks ago. Doyle
is quite a ball player, and during a
recent game was tried out in the posi-
ton OF shortstop on the Brookings
league team in a game against the To-
ronto team. In connection with the
horse stealing charge he expressed
confidence that he would be able to
prove his innocence of Intentional
w~rongdoing.

On Trail Of stock Thieves.

Sioux Falls.-A confession which Ii
said to implicate a number of "promi-
nent' residents of the region between
the Missouri river and the Black Hills
in wholesale thefts OF cattle and
horses during the past few months Is
believed to have been made by J. Rog-
err Peterson. who has Just been lodged
In the Sioux Falls penitentiary to
serve a term Of fifteen months. He
appeared before Judge Williamson of
the state circuit court in Oacoma, and
entered a plea of guilty to the charge
OF cattle 'rustling." The authorities
will not admit that Peterson has made
a confession, but that he has done so
is believed in certain quarters. AS a
result it is expected that a number
OF other arrests on the same charge
made against him will follow. The
other men implicated are believed to
be men who have posed as prominent
ranchers and homesteaders of the re.
gion in which the cattle and horse
stealing has been carried on.

Corn crop Is zine.

State Land Commissioner Fred Hep
perlee has just returned from a cross
country auto trip to Eureka, and he
reports the corn crop along the whole
line in Hughes, Sully, Potter, Wal
worth and Mcpherson counties to be
just as fine as could be asked, and
that many of the fields would be GER
tain to yield a good crop without moro
rain. This is the condition generally
in the Missouri valley and in the
country between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills. Mr.. Hepperlee
says that there are many fields of
wheat between here and Eureka which
a few weeks ago promised a bountiful
yield, but which will no be cut, as the
black rust simply wiped it out, the
heads containing only a few shriveled
grains.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Sturgis,-Valleys between here and
Rapid City have this year witnessed
the rapid growth Of the cattle industry
on something like the scale of years
ago. Ranchers found that the native
grasses were particularly adapted to
cattle and began early in the spring
to ship animals in, and a conservative
estimate of the number of cattle now
in this section is 10000 and this fig
ure will be materially increased be-
fore the year is out. While most Of
the cattle are being fed for beef, ii is
planned not to ship out many this
year, but to hold them another year,
while some of the small ranches are
doing a thriving business with milk
and cream from their cows, the cream
receipts showing a constant gain each
month.
With the presence here of a party Of
Chicago and Northwestern railway Of
~flcials, who went carefully over the sit
~uation, it is declared more than a pos
sibility that this company has decided
at last to make further extensions
from the Black Hills into the west, en-
couraged by the increase in the cattle
business near here and also netr Belle

SeIlinn Much Cream

Bijou Hills.-The farmers of this
territory are year by year deyoting
more attention to the dairy ranch of
farming, with the result thatthey nov
are numbered among the mos prosper
Gus OF the farmers OF Soutff Dakota.
In a period of Il months an .ggregate
of 1872 cans of cream, eacl contain
ing 10 gallons, have been sol to local
buyers by the farmers of thi vicinity.
The aggregate weight of tie cream
was 116,600 pounds. The aveage price
paid during the year was about 80
cents per pound, SO that dring the
year the farmers of the surrounding
region received an aggregated s12.650
for their cream product. re bulk Of
this money was received bythem dur
ing periods of the year whe they had
ma regular income from othr sources.

Would Appoint Widow.

Mitchell.-A movement is under
way to secure the appointment Of the
widow Of Thomas J.. Ball, the Mitchell
pioneer who expired in the midst of
his official duties, as postmistress for
the 16 months which remain of his
term. AS a reason for the movement,
it is pointed out that the former post
master made many sacrifices, which
might have gone toward the accumu-
lation of a personal fortune, in order
that the city he loved and the friends
he cherished might advance. 1t is
thought that some slight reparation
for this may be made by allowing his
widow to enjoy the returns Of his Of
flee for the remainder of his term.

adds a further note Of distinction To
the bungalow. The chimney is Of
rough brick to correspond to the
porch columns. The exterior is quite
different from the usual examples of
this type and lends itself well to d
finish which will force 1t upon tho
attention of the casual observer. Trim
should be white around all windows
and doors. The porch ratings and
pillars should be finished in the same
way. With the rough siding finished
In some dark color and the Singled
portion a few shades lighter, the hn-
ished appearance of the bungalow Isl
all that anyone looking for individual
ity in a home could ask for. Z
What is more, the interior arrange
ment Of this house is In thorough
keeping with the general idea, en-
bodying many unique features not
commonly found In the bungalow
type. The front door opens into a lit!
tie reception hall having doors into
the living room and the dining room.
The triangular closet In this hall,
with shelves and books for wraps, Is
a point of interest.
The door to the right as you enter
the reception hall leads into the gen.
erous living Dom. Four windows In
the one wall of this room flood Il

Client to provide room for the enter
tainment Of quite q few guests.
The kitchen Is back Of the dining
room and Is equipped With a model
pantry. While working at the table
In this pantry the shelves are handily
located TO the right and the r~efrigera-
tor to the left. No time and energy
are wasted In moving about a large
room in the preparation of a meal.
The refrigerator Is iced from the rear
porch. thus preventing the tracking
Of mud into the kitchen by the Ice
man. This pantry will prove to be
as interesting a feature to the women
as the little den IS to the men who
visit the owners of this bungalow
home.
The corner Of the house opposite to
the porch Is occupied with two bed
rooms and q bathroom, all of which
open into a hall leading to the dining
room. Each bedroom has a generous
closet with shelves, and Is well light
ed. The bathroom Is well arranged
and Is provided with q built-in medi.
cine closet.
The stairs into the basement art
reached through tae hall in the real,
Of the house. The basement is large
and may be used Ia many ways to add
to the utility Of the house. 1t is
lighted with grade windows made pos
<ible by carrying the foundation walls
up above the ground level. Storage
space is provided In the attic. which
may be reached from the living room.
Taken in its entirety, this bungalow
has an unusual number of very inter-
esting features, both In interior and
exterior design, and 1t Is particularly
well suited to the man who enjoys
individuality in q home.

That state insurance under the
" orkmen's compensation act has been
proven neither equitable, economic
nor secure" is the finding of State In
8 INT Commissioner M. Harry
C'Brien, in his letter of transmittal at
t. ,ched to his Forthcoming annual re-
port. He recommends that the state
at the coming legislative session take
some steps toward uniform workmen's
compensation, and for the securing OF
payment in cases where the law ap-
plies, but that such insurance should
be through some good and financially
reliable, authorized insurance COM
pany, or by making other guarantee
satisfactory to some supervisory gov
ernmental department. He further
says hat is employers desire to exper-
iment with the matter of employers
liability it should be through coop
erative of mutual organizations, but
to be operated and managed by them
selves at their own expense.
He further recommends that the
1dllSudSC, ~ L . uluCA otoou oiia "St~NN
that the amount to be paid when this
policy becomes a claim shall be de-
pendent upon the amount collected
from an assessment to meet such
claim" should be made a part OF the
policy itself. and not simply a part of
the application, as is now required. His
theory is that while the law allows
the formation Of such organizations
with a membership of 250, a moderate
assessment could not meet a loss OF
1000 or more. and the provision
should be made plain.
He also recommends that fire in.
surance companies be given greater
latitude in the insurance Of automo'
biles, and hat standard or uniform
policy forms should be provided for
live stock policies; for hail insurance
policies and for accident and health
policies.

looked, is by the use Of novel hard
ware fittings for doors and windows.
Although a scrutiny Of the pictures of
old castles and other structures of by
gone days will offer many a sugges-
ton which might be used In obtain
ing novel hardware fittings, especial
iy for door hinges, It is seldom that
any Of these unique fittings are used
In home building. Perhaps II Is be-
cause the massive hinges and locks
Of those olden days were used, not
for their appearance, but for their
strength, and their use Is still asso-
ciated with that same idea. II so, 1t
is a mistaken idea, for It Is possible
to use just such fittings on even a
little bungalow with a very pleasing
effect. A bungalow is shown here
which has more than the ordinary In
dividuality and yet there is nothing
which is not attractive In its unique
ness.
The appearance Of the front door Is
an indication Of what may be obtained
by the use Of distinctive hardware.
The hinges are of heavy brass and ex-
tend nearly across the width Of the
door. The door knob and plate are
also of heavy, substantial construc-
ton, In harmony with the hinges. The
windows at the top Of the door are
narrow strips Of plate glass running
parallel to the hinges. This door has
a very massive appearance. but it
blends well with the other features
Of this little structure.
The front porch Is set around one
corner of the house and the door is
built into this corner. The portion Of
the roof covering the porch Is sup
ported by three pillars set upon rough
brick columns, and a low railing is
carried around the porch at the level
Of the top Of the brickwork. The
sides Of the bungalow are covered
Nth rough siding up to the gables,
which are shingied in alternate wide
ard narrow rows. There Is q decided
contrast between these two methods
Of finishing. but the effect Is very
pleasing. The many gables give a
roof effect which emphasizes the
broad solidity Of the design and also

Nearly all people are gifted with a
desire to possess a home which is
different from that of their neighbors.
AS a result there are a great variety
Of ways in which n house may be
finished: Wood, brick, stone of all
kinds, concrete blocks, stucco and all
combinations of these have aided In
the conquest for variety; the archi-
tects and contractors have worked
overtime to produce new and distinc-
tive details of house design. The
work of all ages and oil lands is gath
cred together to contribute to the sat
isfactiop of the modern home builder.
At various times a type of construc-
ton is found which seems to be par
ticularly suited to some certain local
fly, but 1t Is invariably only n short
time when this type Is found to be
applicable to other localities, after a
few changes have been made to adapt
1t to a different climate. An illustra-
ton may be taken from the wide use
Of the bungalow type of home, which,
although especially adapted to the
needs Of the California home builder,
Is nevertheless furnishing a very sat
isfactory type of construction for
those building in the middle and east
ern states. This type Of home Is no
longer a novelty I'm its newer loca-
lions, and 1t is now necessary for the
home builde who appreciates the
convenience of the bungalow but who
still wishes to obtain a distinctive
house, to call upon the designer to in
corporate some novel features into his
plans which will mark the finished
structure as decidedly different from
the Bungalows usually constructed.
