NOT SO bad


Pierre, July 27.-The |. w. w. re-
ports which have been started for the
eastern counties of the state, are
o%verdrawn in the opinion of State
Sheriff Shanks. who has returned
from a trip to Mitchell, where the tx
element started. After the expert
ence of last year the residents of the
Jim valley section of the state APP
pear to be somewhat nervous in his
estimation. While there may be an
other invasion" such as troubled
the people of that section of the state
a year ago, he failed to find that ii
had started yet. Immigration Com
missioner MeCaffree, in his love
ments to handle the harvest workers,
has established branch offices at
Mitchell and Aberdeen, in connection
with the office at Huron, and a rep
resentative at Sioux City will assist
in directing actual harvest workers
to the sections where they can find
employment.

Pierre-It is expected that wolf
bounty of about 60 cents on the dol

cal year ending June 80, 1916. Al
ready claims amount to over $2l,-
600, and this will be issued pro rata
from the appropriation made by the
legislature. Late years 1t has never
been sufficient to pay full value on
the dollar for bounty. Bounty for
coyotes is $3.50 each.

questionably has been a great waste
Of food, for countless meals are or
dered and either left untouched or
else slightly toyed with and mixed
with cigar and cigaret ashes by care
less people. At the better class res
t~aurants and hotels restrictive
meal" corresponding to the prop
erty sandwich" of some American
cities, are served. These consist gen
orally of one fried egg. Before the
recent change in regulations, which
prescribe a cooked, warm" meal, the
restrictive meal" was wont to con
sist of an apple or a few grapes.
Drinking thus becomes an expen-
sive luxury. To obtain one whisky
and soda, for instance, one pays, in
the better places the equivalent of 40
cents for his meal" the same for
whisky, 35c more for a bottle of self
ger or soda. and a tip to the waiter.
The total amounts to more than 81
at the present rate of exchange.
The restrictions on the sale of bot
tied goods for home consumption are
even less liberal. They grant to the
privileged holders of the "motbOk'
tpassbOok) the privilege of buying
two quarts Of spirits each three
months, making possible a home con.
sumption of a little more than two
thirds of an ounce each day.
