sion of Counties.

Trip, S. D.. Aug. 15.-Fourteen
farmers have been arrested by United

terfering with the nations military
operations. They are said to have cir

Now that the silent policemen" at
the busiest street intersections IN
Ladysmith have been surmounted
with electric lights, there is far
less danger of serious accidents than
there was before the keep to Right
signs were put up. The speed maniac
cannot negotiate the turns as he for
merly did without slowing down and
the signs have another good result
in keeping traffic more to the sides
of the streets. Rusk county has so
many cars that these signs had be-
come very necessary.
