bismarck Bismarck.)
BY doing some detective work of
his own, S. A. Taylor vas able to
locate the parties that stole his COW,
who proved to be Bud Smith and a
party named Ratley. Mr.. Taylor
found that the above named gents
had been in the Lead Belt, returning
home Sunday evening, having one
of the Elvins jitney fellows to bring
them over.
Bud displayed a bunch of money at
Elvins, this causing suspicion.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Doss came over
from Desloge Monday and picked up
Smith and quizzed him. Smith at first
denied being implicated, but later on
told the officers that he would go with
them to lockwood, where the COW
had been sold to a Hungarian for $50.
The officers then began search for
Ratley, who was said to have been
9 near Middlebrook, but the
officers failed to locate him, and at
the present time he hasn't been APP
pretended.
Mr.. Taylor went over to lockwood
the first of the week and got his COW.

From Goodland.

With the mercury below zero n
does not much like the idea of getting
out and hunting news items.
A boy by the name of Hedgeceth
came to a house on Ottery about three
O'Clock Friday morning badly frozen.
He could not get any place to stay
that night on bis way home from
Herculaneum where he had been
working, and in trying to get to Lewis
Gallaher's at Redmond he got lost
and wandered about nearly all night.
DR.. Martin was called and brought.the
boy home with him and sent him
home to his parents beyond Good
land. His feet are SO badly frozen
that he will lose his toes il not his
entire feet. Common humanity would
have taken in anyone on such a night
as that with the mercury at twenty
below zero.

The local health officers seem to
have the smallpox situation well in
hand the disease, so far, being kept
confined to only two families. The
local authorities are to be commend
ed for their efficiency in handling the
situation no far, and they should not
relax their vigilance until the
disease is stamped out entirely. Near
ly 300 cases are reported at Poplar
Bluff and more than so cases at Pied
mont. 1t is said that the spread OF
the disease in these two cities is due
largely to a laxity in the enforcement

Of quarantine regulations at the be-
ginning. This should not be the case
here. While the cases 30 far rep orted
here are very mild, the disease may,
il enforcement of the regulations are
relaxed, become in time as great a
nuisance here as it is in some Of our
neighboring towns. Witha confirm
alton of the good work being done by
the local officials the disease will
soon be eradicated entirely at this
place.

Saysthe Potosi Journal man: "When
the Journal started in business it took
eight pounds of Ibutter to pay for a
years. subscription, and it now takes
SO; it then took ten dozens of eggs
and it now takes a little less than
three dozen; it then took two bushels
of potatoes and it now takes a trife
more than half a bushel; it then took
about two bushels of wheat and it
now takes less than one bushel; it
then took three-fourths of a cord of
wood and it now takes one-third of a
cord. The Journal also cost then
about twice as many chickens, twice
as much pork, twice AT much beef.
AS compared with then, the Journal
costs the farmer almost nothing. On
the other hand, the price of the paper
the Journal was printed on was $4s
per ton, and it now costs somewhere
between 1920 and $40 per ton. Do
you wonder the publisher is getting
gray headed? And say, you farmer,
how much is there left of that old
story about you not being able to
take the paper?"

Years Old.

Sioux Falls. 8. D.. July THE s2nd
annual convention Of the South Dakota
Bankers association, which has just
been concluded in this city, was ono OF
the best attended and most instructive
ever held by the association.
The annual report of j, =. Platt, Sec
rotary OF the association, contained
many interesting features. He alluded
TO the fact that the association held It's
annual convention in Sioux Falls for
the first time 26 years ago, with AZ
delegates present. The attendance this
year was about 600. The association
held it's first annual convention at ABB
erdeen, on June 8, 1885, "a bankers
being present, all Of whom Joined the
Dakota Bankers association, which,
upon the admission Of North and South
Dakota as separate states, was changed
to the South Dakota Bankers asso-
citation.
OF those present, % were from what
now La known as South Dakota, the
other two. being from what now is
North Dakota. Ona OF these was r. b.
Cannon, then of Glendale, but who
now is q resident OF Aberdeen, where
he IL president OF one OF the leading
banks. The association, which started
with "a members, now has $40 MEM
bers In good standing, and practically
vention just held here. In addition to
numerous other bankers who are not
members, the latter being from other
states OF the union. Eleven years ago
the association had only 50 members.
II was shown In the report OF Secre-
tary Plat that South Dakota now has
total or ga banks-603 Of these be-
ing state banks and the remaining 121
national banks. The association, the
secretary reported, had been very dill
gent In warning banks against cashing
checks for strangers, and In this and
other ways had greatly aided in pro
tecting the banking business. II was
stated that no yeggmen had during the
past year successfully attacked the
bank Of any member OF the association.
One OF the notices OF the association
Is: BE ever on your guard. Keep good
bank equipment and carry ample insur-
ance." The association also Is render
ing valuable aid In good road work and
IN the promotion Of agriculture so the
crop production of the state can be
materially increased each year.

SOUTH DAKOTA BOASTS
HUGE MOTOR CAPITAL;
One FOR EVERY DOZEN
State Officials Fix Valuation
of the Cars at $780,
100000.

Pierre, s. D., July 5.-South Dakota
has invested approximately $3O,00O,OOo
In motor vehicles, including automo-
biles owned by private persons, motor
cycles, and dealers cars. This estimate
by the auto department is based on an
average Of $500 for each car-which u
conceded to be a fair average for all
cars, even II some are 5000 lower In
price than that, because a large num-
Der are very much higher priced:
Besides that, South Dakotans have
actually paid $11S,500 for licensing cars
so far this year. The auto department
figures that there is one car for aboui
every IL persons-men, women or emil"
dren-in the state, which places South
Dakota very near the top, IL not at tho
top, of per capita for vehicles OF that
character.
