in some sections Of the state. IL was
expected another test of strength
would come during the harvesting
period this year between the lawless
/. w. WIS and state and county
peace officers. Now that the |. w.
WIS have threatened to set fire to
and destroy grain fields, the situation
becomes doubly serious.
However, the federal officers, the
state sheriff and his force of state
constabulary and the citizens of the
towns generally are determined that
the /. Wv shall be kept within
bounds this year and during the
years to come, and any of them who
attempt to carry out the threat of
wholesale crop destruction will be
roughly handled and will be lucky if
they escape with their lives.

ENFORCE DRY LAW
RIACk HILLS OFFICERS ENER-
GETIC IN SEARCH OF
VIOLATIONS.

Lead, July 1.-THE officers of
Lead, Deadwood and other cities and
towns of the Black Hills are ener-
getically enforcing the provisions of
the bone dry prohibition law. Thus
far several arrests have been made
for violations of the law.
w. f. Collins. of Edgemont, con
nected with a carnival company, was
arrested i'm Deadwood on the charge
of being intoxicated. When taken
into custody three bottles of liquor
were found in his pockets, The local
court had no jurisdiction to impose
sentence and the defendant was held
for trial in the circuit court.
He was the first person arrested In
Lawrence county for violating the
law since statewide prohibition went
into effect. Four other persons are
being investigated and 1t is probable
arrests will be made. One of them
said he procured his liquor in Lead
All four were intoxicated when the
attention of the officers was called
to them.

Sioux Falls, July 11.-According

farmers of South Dakota already are
up in arms as a result of the exposure
by army officers of a plot on the part
of radical members of the Industrial

grain crops of South Dakota.
1t is said that farmers generally
are preparing to protect their crops.
Shotguns and other weapons that
have become rusty from disuse are
being dragged forth from storage
places and placed in condition for

MILITARY TRAINING CAMP

This week opportunity for Madison and Lake County young men to
apply for enlistment in Officers Training Camp will end.
These camps afford wonderful opportunity for the training of men to
occupy positions of large responsibility in the new army and thereby make
it possible to render conspicuous service for their country.
We are DESTROYS of having a. many men between the ages OF % and
45 make application for this training camp, as it is possible that this
opportunity will not be offered again for ONE little time.
There has been somewhat of a misunderstanding is the impression
has been given that previous military training a necessary to qualify
men for this camp. This is not the case. Natural qualifications a lead
eTs are. the men most desired.
Call on NJ. III. Cogrove at the First National Bank for applications
and information at once, as all applications must reach the examining
officer at Sioux Falls not later than Sunday, July ID.

ports come to Washington of splendid
crops everywhere, but there is a dearth
OF farm labor. 1t is quite possible that
millions upon millions of dollars worth
Of food will go to waste when Ii Is so
much needed because there are not
enough hands to gather the crops Of
grain, fruit and vegetables. Another
thing that should be understood is that
the farmers will not dig vegetables
from the ground to sell them at a loss.
Ii the price OF labor is so high that the
farmers will lose by employing work
ers they Will let the crops rot rather
than harvest them.

Nothing Was Done.

Looking back TO the time when Pres
ideLt Wilson became convinced that
military preparedness was a vital ne
cessity, 1t can be seer that very little
had been done up to that time actual
ly to prepare an array for war. The
fault was with congress In promoting
small and expensive military posts and
not providing for real military service.
The fault also was with u military
men who did not make the most OF
what they had in hand.
But the fact which stands out in
startling proportions now Is that dur
ing the two years when 1t was sup
posed that something was being done
for the army, when the Hay bin was
passed and heralded as prepared
ness" nothing of any account was ac-
compIished. All that legislation and
preparation were practically wasted
In getting an army ready for actuaI
service the war department has had Ia
begin at the beginning.

condition and never was asking for
time out to give his team q rest
Groves, OF Western, at end, Is
chosen over Adams. Of Tech. as he
was the next best man on the nanE
to Gerry, of Central. He allowed few
runs around his side and his kicking
was the best seen in the series. Adams
was a good man at handling the for
ward pass and was always down the
. field under punts. He was q good
tackler and broke up the interference
for his backs and gave them a chance
to get the man with the ball. On the
other flank winGaeld Is given the
preference over Williams, OF BUsi-
ness. as he was fast in getting under
punts and was on the receiving end
OF many Of Newman's forward passes.
Williams was a strong defensive
player, but because OF the weakness
OF his team he was not called upon
often to show what he could do on
the offensive.
Capt. Fenwick. the veteran tackle
OF Western, is given the place over
Barnes, of Tech, as he proved a good
man under all conditions both on the
defense and offense Barnes. also .
veteran Is a kOO0 AdGhlt-
Clark, OF Tech, is given the place
at the other tackle over Waldorf, OF
Eastern, because he proved 10 be the
better man at playing the style Of
game that has been used this season
Ia the schools series.
Gucrvich. Of Tech. is the veteran
Of the line and the only man who
might improve the pOint-R-minute
team of Central in a guard position.
He is a versatile player, as he was
used in the back field in some OF the
games and never failed to gain both
through the line and around the ends
when he was given the opportunity
TO carry the bail. Brewer, Of West
ern, is another veteran at the tackle
position, and deserves mention for
his playing in the series just closed.
He was a deadly tackle and was on
top OF the forwards in many cases
before they knew he was out Of his
position. In the other guard posi-
ton Hastings. OF Western, has tho
call over Moore, OF Tech. as he proved
his worth in the games against Cen
trail. Moore, Of Tech. is a veteran,
and played brilliant football in all
the games and stopped many plays
directed at him during the series.
At center. Meyers. OF Western. is
the man chosen for the team as he
was the best snapper back in the
series. He was often down the field
on plays around the end and was q
good tackle. Richter, Of Business, Is
mentioned as the other selection as
he was the strongest man OF his team
and often broke through and tackled
the man carrying the ball before the
secondary men could get TO him His
passing OF the ball was very accurate
and was a big help TO his backs as
they received the ball in such posi-
tons that they did not have to slow
up their stride in order TO handle the
pass:
