Fire Wipes Out Building and Contents
at Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls.-One man was serious
ly injured and the plant Of the Inter-
national Harvester company totally
destroyed in a fire OF unknown origin.
The fire was discovered at FIVE min
t before 6. just before closing time.
The total force Of the company were
in the building when flames were dis
covered on the second floor. Defec-
tive wiring is thought to have been
the cause. A general alarm brought
every piece of fire apparatus in the
city. but officials of the plant de-
clared 1t a total loss when the flames
were brought under control at 10
o'clock. The loss is estimated at $780,
900. The warehouse was heavily
stocked with farm implements and ma
chineryN
The plant of the Manchester Biscuit
company was slightly damaged by wa
ter. 1t. is situated across the street
from the Harvester company's plant.
An old employee Of the company
jumped from the third floor OF the
plant when escape was cut of by the
flames. He sustained a fractured
skull, broken nose, arm and leg. Sew.
eral OF the fremen received minor
injuries.
The Sioux Falls department was as
sisted by a number of fire chiefs who
were attending the annual convention
of the fire chiefs of South Dakota.

No Sense at All.

Out in the cold and dreary street.
where the icy wind whipped the pud-
dies into little whirlpools, two men
were talking together.
1t was Saturday forenoon and they
were undecided as to how they should
amuse themselves in the afternoon.
One of them vas heard to say:
'Coom on, Jack. r. finest match o.

with me-"
The other shook his head, and a con-
>temptuous smile curled his lip.

Belgian Relief Plans,

Pierre.-South Dakota is credited
with the first and only successful and
systematic campaign for Belgian re-
lief. organized on a statewide basis.
In the winter the care of the children
Of Menin for the ensuing year was
assigned to this state and the esti-
mated expense was placed at $50, 900.
George Douthit. Of Sioux Falls, en-
tered with enthusiasm into the work
and effected a state organization
through which 1t is hoped the sum
necessary would be raised through
voluntary gifts. Mrs. Gina Smith
Campbell, of Dell Rapids. who was in
Europe when the war began and re-
turned there with the Ford peace
party, volunteered her services to or
ganize the counties and has since Wis
tied and effected strong organizations
in practically every county. Leading
business. men OF. the state have volun-
tas41y taken up the work and the re-
suit Is most satisfactory. One-third
OF the sum has been transmitted and
is providing food for the little people
of Menin, and as much more is in the
hands OF the local committees and
viii speedily be concentrated In the
hands of w. z. Sarp, the state treas
urer OF the fund. for transmission to
the national authorities. While no
apportionment was made. It was tenta-
lively understood that each county
should provide about 10 centst per
capita, and several have considerably
exceeded that amount. Yankton coun-
ty. with $4,000 people. has raised over
$4,000. and an effort Is being made to
at least come up to the per capita
suggestion. There is every Indication
that South Dakota viii before the end
Of the year greatly exceed the $36. 900
specified. Last year the state made
an almost equal gift of flour and corn.

volving alleged damages from a dam
OF the company. In 1907 eleven diff

FOOD TRAINING CAMP
AT THE SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
FAIR AND EXPOSITION IN HUI

State Institutions and from
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine state.

fleFTe.-
The South Dakota State Fair and
Exposition which is to be held at HUI
ron September 10th 14th, inclusive.
has rendered its services as a food
training camp to President Wilson.
to assist the government in it's eff
forts to increase crop production, and
reduce the waste OF food In this
country, which is known to be enorm-
Gus.
THE men you are calling into serv-
ice," said Secretary C. N. McIlvaine in
part, in a letter to the president, ARE
being concentrated in military train
ing camps, because it has been found
that they can be trained more efficient
ly in that way than in smaller groups.
1t would seem that there is just as
much necessity TO call the great rank
and file Of food producers and con
sumers into central food training
camps for a short course in the more
efficient methods of food production
and conservation. The appropriate
time is during the luil following the
harvest season, since the nation is
working too hard now to care for the
crops already planted"
1t is believed that the government
will cooperate to the fullest extent
in furnishing lecturers, demonstrations
and exhibits to assist the fair in its
work. The fair is making an unusual
effort to induce breeders of farm ami
mails to exhibit in larger numbers than
ever before, that farmers in this terri
tory may be encouraged to raise non
but the best breeds ond types Of ami
mails. Manufacturers of farm machin-
cry are being urged to exhibit all
their latest models and improvements.
The state is being secured everywhere
for superior specimens of the vari-
cites of grains, forage crops, fruits,
vegetables and corr best suited to III
soil and climate. The women's depart
ment is to hold a series of demonstra-
tions and lectures by specialists of
reputation to instruct housewives how
to furnish the table at the lowest pos
sible cost. Much attention is to be
paid to children's work, to enlist the
children in the work of food produc-
tion and food conservation.
