FOR HARVEST RUSH
STATE IMMIGRATION DEPART
MENT DENISING SYSTEM FOR
LABOR DISTRIBUTION.

Pierre, June 14.-In order to be
fully prepared in advance for the
harvest situation this year, the inn
migration department will be assist
ed by w. G. O~strander, who is here
from Brookings college to give hrs
assistance in helping the employe and
laborer get together. and insure
South Dakota's harvest season a full
success from point of labor. Last
year there was shortage of help and
over supply of it in some places, al
though in general the condition was
good throughout the state.
The L. w. w. situation which
menaced some of the eastern and
southeastern towns in South Dakota
last fall, probably will be averted
this year for two reasons-the con-
scription both for military and farm
use will prevent any such gatherings.

LAWN PESTS
LAZY MEN FIND COMFORTABLE
WAY TO TREAT YELLOW
LAWN PERIL.

Brookings, June 14.-Give the
lawn mower a twO-year rest if YOU
would get rid of dandelions, suggests
N. Il. Hansen. professor of horticul-
ture at State college, who says: IF
you do not cut the lawn for two years
or at most three years, the blue grass
will have a chance TO seed. In addi-
ton, do not tramp on the lawn more
than is absolutely necessary. As a
result the grass will get so strong
that it will crowd the dandelions.
When cut too often the roots of
the blue grass are starved and lose
their vitality because they do not re-
ceive the plant food which is manu-
featured by the leaves. The only
way TO strengthen the roots is to
leave the tops alone. However, pub
lie opinion is so strong that this adj
vice will probably not be followed.
This is stated as a demonstrated fact
and n may do as he likes in this
matter" concluded the professor,
g~raciouSly.

IN navy Yard
BERT REYNOLDS is IN NAVY
YARD AT BROOKLYN-PASS
EXAMINATIONS.

G. b. Reynolds, known among his
friends as Bert, in a letter received
today by his father, w. r. Reynolds,
tells that he has finished his prepar-
atory schooling at Newport, r. l.,
having passed with the grade of third
class yeoman in the naval service.
AT the completion of the examination
he was granted a furlough, and is
spending his time in New York city,
after which he is ordered to report
at the Brooklyn navy yard. He is in
formed that he will be permanently
located at that place.
Mr.. Reynolds informs us that the
work of the yeoman service is cler-
zeal. Some of them have places in
offices on board ship. But any de-
partment of the naval service may re
quire them, and they may be either
on land or sea. IF Bert has a land
position in the navy yard, he will not
be detailed to %seagoing vessels.

TOO Much LAKE
AUTHORITIES WONDER WHAT
TO DO ABOUT IT-DAMAGING
ROADS AND TREES.

A delegation representing proper
ty owners whose land borders on
Lake Madison conferred with the
county commissioners Tuesday after
noon, for the purpose of saving
roads across low places. and trees on
the shore OF the lake. The unpree-
edented height Of the water in the
lake is said to be washing away the
foundations of roads and overflow
ing them in low places. and the ac-
ton of the waves is undermining and
washing way large trees along the
margin.
Acting on the information filed,
the commissioners issued an order
for the clearing of a channel through
the fish screen erected by the game
and fish commission at the lower
end of the lake in the outlet. Pur-
suant to the order the screen was re
moved for a time, during which, it
is said, that tons of fish escaped
over the cement base of the dam.
The water in the lake is said to be
at a higher stage than before in 25
years. The great amount of rain is,
of course. the primary cause. An
other cause is attributed to the cree
ton of a cement base and super
structure of grating for a fish screen,
done three years ago, and designed
to retain fish in the lake and to ex-
clude undesirable kinds. The action
of wind and current carries against
this screen refuse, making it an inn
~pervious dam for the water, thereby
raising the level of the lake.
The trees which are claimed to be
suffering damage from the present
condition are those which grew since
the water receded from neal the
present level many years ago, it is
said. Then, too, it lis claimed by
some that the cement base of the fish
screen is too high, while others claim
that it is about on a level with the
bed of the outlet, and the removal
of the superstructure would only al
low of the escape of a nominal
amount of the offending water.
The proposition resolves itself in
to the choice of letting the excellent
fishing which the lake has afforded
deteriorate by the escape of the good

The senate conferees have been
holding out for a triple control, and
deadlock occurred, but it Is now
thought they will yield to the presi'
dents wish.
Agreement upon many points OF
the report which the conference com
E2ittee will render to the two houses
of congress on the conflicting bills
which were passed by house and sen
ate was reached yesterday.
Under the agreement the manufac'
ture of distilled spirits for beverage
purposes, except where they are to
be used for the fortificatfon of sweet
wines, is specifically prohibited, and
the importation of all distilled liquors
is absolutely forbidden. These provi'
sions are absolute and in no way
discretionary with the President.
An important change has been made
in the provision for discretionary pro
hibition of the manufacture of beer or
wines. Under the house bill this dis
erection was conferred upon the Presf
dent but the report proposes that 1t
be given to army authorities and the
President. 1t is now determined to
leave to the discretion Of army au-
thorities and the President the stop
ping of brewing Of beer and ale and
the manufacture Of wines.
All stocks Of distilled liquor are TO
be Communicated. This provision at
fects not only the goods now in bond
but stocks in the hands Of dealers
as well. Such Communicated stocks
are to be used only for rehabilitation
for use in hospitals BY the military
and n the manufacfure Of munitions

ALL 'SLACKERS'
TO BE ROUNDED
UP BY SMIDDY
Eleven Deputies are Appointed
Throughout Territory to
Enforce Registration

U. s. Marshal Jerome ]. Sniddy
has completed his plans for rounding
up those persons in the territory be-
tween the ages of Fl and 81 who fail
to register tomorrow for military ser
vice.
Commissions have been mailed to
IL men in the territory giving them
authority to act as special deputy
United States marshals and, with this
force behind him, Marshal Smiddy ex-
poets to carry out his part of the reg
work with rapidity.
For obvious reasons the names of
the special deputies will not be made
public. They will be distributed in
the territory as follows: Four on
Oahu, three on Hawaii, two on Maui
and two on Kauai. Authority to ap-
point special deputies to assist him
in rounding up "slackers" was re-
ceived by the marshal from Washing
ton several weeks ago.
Il anticipate no trouble in carrying
out my end of the work." the marshal
said today. 'Slackers,' If there are
any at all, will be very few, I believe,
as registration day has been very
we'll advertised throughout the is
lands, not only by the registration
board, but through the newspapers,
and I believe that every man coming
within the age limit knows that it is
his duty to register tomorrow, and
knows the penalty for failure to reg
ister."
. Thus far the mashal's office has re-
ceived no information of the exis-
tence of copspiracies to discourage
or to prevent persons
from registering. This fact, he says,
speaks well for the territory.
