County Red Cross
Association Organized
...............s..se...-...

Pursuant to a call issued by
Hon. Alvin Wa99oner of Philip,
director for this section of South
Dakota, a meeting was held in
the opera house in Kadoka on
Monday afternoon and a county
organization was perfected for
Jackson County.
This work of the Red Cross is
is without question the greatest
work that can be done by human
beings and there is not a citizen
in Jackson County but who should
pay his or her dollar and take
out a membership in the associ-
alton.
AT the meeting held on Mon
day, representatives were present
from Belvidere, Weta, Stamford,
and KadOka, and after the by
laws, sent out by the national
committee were adopted, the fol
lowing fifteen directors from the
different towns in the county
were selected to act for the en-.
suing year.

Food Training Camp to Be
Feature of This Years
Exposition.

To assist in meeting the critical
emergency outlined by President Will
son in his appeal TO the nation to pro-
duce more food and waste less of it
the South Dakota State Fair, Sept.
10th to 14th, has volunteered its serv-
ices as Food Training Camp. Surely
ir military training camps are neces-
sary to instruct the boys who are TO
fully as much to teach the remaining
citizens how to work efficiently
The great war will end more quick.
ly if We will pitch in and raise more
wheat, corn, potatoes and other food
stuffs. This is so true, as shown in
every weeks news from Washington,
that there are no more privately own
ed farms when you get right down to
it-they are the nations farms. And
the nation wants to see every farm i'm
the men on the actual war fronts and
in the factories can be fed Knowing
this, the state fair has made an eX-
ira effort this year TO assemble speci-
mems of the latest working models of
farm machinery and exhibits of the
best fruits, grains and vegetables;
displays that will help farmers man
age their national farms to capacity;
displays that will demonstrate meth
ods that get results. There has been
considerable increase in the premiums,
especially those offered for corn.

WHY Spiders Eiuht.

When two spiders fight there is gen
orally a good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
1t is not generally known that after a
certain time spiders become incapable
OF spinning a web from lack Of mate
rial The glutnous excretion from
which the slender threads are spun is
limited; therefore spiders cannot keep
on constructing new snares when the
old ones are destroyed. But they can
avail themselves of the web producing
powers Of their younger neighbors, and
this they do without scruple. As soon
as a SPIDERS web constructing mate
rial has become exhausted and its last
web destroyed 1t sets out in search Of
another home, and unless 1t should
chance to find one that is tenantless a
battle usually ensues, which ends only
with the retreat or death Of the in
vader or defender.

How a Beaver Can Work.

A young beaver in Regents park
gardens, London, was once placed at
work upon tree twelve feet long and
two feet six inches thick just as the
town clocks sounded the hour OF noon
The beaver began by barking the tree
a foot above the ground That done
he attacked the wood. He worked
hard, alternating his labor with dips
In his bathing pond. He bathed and
labored alternately until o'clock In
the afternoon, when he ate his supper
OF bread and carrots and padded about
in his pond until half past ) O'Clock.
Ten minutes later, when only one inch
Of the trees diameter remained intact
he bore upon his work. and the tree
fell. Before 1t fell the beaver ran as
men run when they have fired q blast
Then as the tree lay on the ground he
portioned It cut mentally and again be.

all night, cut the log into three parts
rolled two of the portions into the wa,
ter and reserved the other third for his
permanent shelter The work done, he
took bath.

When on visit to Rome, Watert0r
determined TO rival the feats OF the
Italian climbers who yearly scaled the
dome OF st. Peters and the pinnaclet
Of the castle Of St Angelo, to illumi
nate their submits on the feast Of st
Peter. Eighty men used to climb the
dome on two successive nights, ant
the boldest completed the spectacle by
browning the cross with a wavinl

Extinction of the Buffalo

Speaking of the extinction Of the
buffalo, the director Of the New York
geological park said:
at is by no means true that the ex-
termination OF the buffalo is due most
~ to the encroachment of human be-
ings on their feeding grounds rather
than to theiy wholesale slaughter. The
great bison herds OF the plains. from
Saskatchewan to Texas. were all Of
them exterminated by systematic robe
hunting. hide hunting In summer, kill
ing for tongues and slaughter for all
other excuses imaginable. This oc-
cured long before any Of their ranges
were wanted by man either for cattle
grazing or for agriculture. The legiti-
mate industries OF man played no part
whatever in the determination Of the
bison, either west or east. The slaugh-
ter was systematic and deliberate and
far in advance of the agriculturist and
the stock grower"-New York Times.

How to Make Use of Vermln.

In Paris. says a writer in the New
York Sun, rats are made to serve a
useful commercial purpose. When the
animals are caught they are put into n
deep walled pit and fed regularly.
Once month there is a general ex-
ecution, accomplished in scientific
manner by means of gas. By that
time the rats are sleek and plump, and
their hides are in excellent condition
The hides are removed and treated
and eventually are made into kid
gloves. 1t has also been found that
the skins can be used for bookbinding
and in the manufacture Of photograph
frames.

DQnAo.
(10) A stock market which was
heavily liquidated during the early
months of 1916 because of fear as to
what would happen in case OF early
peace. which engaged I'm violent spec
ulation for the rise in the autumn, with
a long succession of 1000, 000-share
and 0O0,000-share days (this being
based on the belief that the war would
be long continued, and that conditions
in this country after peace need not
be unfavorable), but which broke with
great violence in December on the
Federal Reserve Boards action, the
high money rate, and the German peace
proposals.
A Season of Short Crops.
CID Harvests which for the first
time in this country since the war be-
gan, ran short of consumers needs;
the $4,000, 000-bushel wheat crop
comparing with LOCO, 100000 busrels
in 1916 and with Ss1, 100000 bushels in
1914, and being, in fact, the smallest
since 1904. Reduced yield in other
grains, which brought the total yield
of the five great cereal crops to 4,705,-
10000 bushels, as against 5,SSs,000,.
900 in 1915, with 4,942, 100000 in 1914,
and with 5,532000,0O0 even in 1912. AS
consequence, rise in wheat at Chi
cago in November to So per bushel. as
against 80 IL cents June "a; the 81
price not having been touched since
1888. Simultaneous rise OF % cents 8
bushel in corn, OF 10 cents in oats, Of
$4.45 per barrel in -four, with almost
equivealent rise in meat and cattle; all
this occurring in season OF partial
shortage in the grain crops of the rest
of the world. A cotton crop to which
$4,000 more acres were planted than
year before, an increase of II per
cent, but whose outturn was cut down
by bad weather to figure only 100000
bales above the very small crop OF
1915, the estimated yield being the
smallest in six years. AS result, rise
in the spot price of cotton at New
York from 11.20 cents pound in Feb
urary to 20.9O in November; specula-
ton being extremely wild in both
grain and cotton markets, and break
ing down heavily towards the end of
the year.
