ROBERT POPE, FORMERLY IN
EMPLOY OF Milwaukee
HERE SUICIDES At
HOTEL
RELATIVES UNKNOWN
Thought he Had Children in Canada
but this Fact not Verified =
Searching for his Trunk

Robert Pope, formedly employed
by the Milwaukee railroad in the
round house and later on the rip
track, was found dead in his room at
the Pierce hotel Thursday night
shortly after 10 o'clock. Death, the
coroner's jury pronounced, was due
to carbolic acid poisoning.
Pope was about so years of age,
and had been around Mobridge, it is
stated for the last two years. He
worked for a time in the Milwaukee
round house, and nearly all of last
summer was employed on the repair
track Last winter, it is stated, he
went to Montana, returning to the
city a few days ago.
At the inquest held Friday it was
stated that he was seen in an intoxi-
Gated condition Thursday morning at
$50 in company with rancher Of
west of the river. He went to his
room about IL o'clock, stayed there
a short time, went out and return
ed again about 4 o'clock. That was
the last time he was seen alive.
1t is stated that the man former.
ly lived in Sanada where he farm
ed. 1t is also stated that he told one
man in the city that he had children
there but the informant could give
no location.
Whether despondency was the
cause of the suicide or not was NOT
determined at the coroner's inves-
tigation.
An effort is being made to locate
the mans trunk, as it was stated
that he has changed clothes two or
three times since returning to the
city, and it is believed the trunk if
found will reveal letters giving the
location of relatives.

and the drills by the little folks un-
der the direction of Miss Boehle
were especially good. Miss Eunice

LENNON BACHELORS
WANT MATES FROM EAST

Lennon, May 1.-THE story is
abroad here that a certain bach
elor farmer of this place has been
taking advantage of the strike in
the shoe factories at Lynn, Mass,
by directing a letter to a union
organization and asking for the
importation of unmarried women
to Lennon who may be suffering
because of the strike. He told
them that the farmers of Lem
mon were rich and many unmar-
ried who could we'll support wives
and needed their cooperation.
Some of the women, it seems, take
the matter seriously and if the
strike continues it is not to be
presumed what the result will
be.

Aberdeen, May l7.-Employes Of
the Jewett Brothers wholesale gro.
cery and drug house here have SUBJ
scribed for Liberty bonds to the

this way since they cannot go to the

ployes without interest.

AUTOMOBILES MUST
CARRY LICENSE TAGS

That autoes driven about the city
must carry the license tags irres-
pective of whether or not their own
ers or drivers have made application
for licenses and carried their re-
ceipts, was the stand Judge Vaw-
ter took on the matter here this
week when he assessed three promi
nent residents of this section 500
fines each for driving without the
required numbers, although each had
his receipt with him for money paid
the county treasurer.
According to the Judge, the law is
specific in it's requirements that mo-
tor vehicles must display their 1917
license numbers front and rear, and
that these licenses should have been
applied for in time to allow the own
ers to have procured their tags be-
fore May l.
Sheriff Dudley Martin was in from
Selby the first Of the week, several
arrests following. James Tidball Of
Isabel, John B. Elko, Jr., and A. r.
Jacobson were each fined $40 and
costs, amounting to $50.
This has resulted in many drivers
who have receipts dated as far back
as April 18 but who have not yet
received their tags, to put their cars
up until their licenses arrive, as S2C
looks pretty good in these times of
rising prices.

= HAVE lately been thinking much about that
l wonderful line of ohm Donnes:
BE thy palace, or all the WORLDS
thy jail"
Donne is not a modern psychologist He was
a poet who lived and sang long before the science
of psychology was ever heard of, He was, in fact
a contemporary of Shakespeare's.
And like Shakespeare, he a master student
of human lfe giving expression to truths vital to
mankind, but to which most men paid all TOO httie
heed.
OF certainty there are comparatively few
men, even today, who have really taken to heart,
and applied for their own beneht, the profound
truth in Donne's warning ... -.
: "Be thy own palace or all the worlds thy Jail"
Among the people whom have met is a certain
millionaire, millionaire many times over.
He owns magnificent city home, veritable
palace. He owns several beautiful country estates
He owns automobiles innumerable. And he had a
retinue OF servants at his beck and oall.
o But he cannot truthfully be described as a
happy man. One can indeed hardly describe him
as a free man. ..,
His vast fortune entails on him heavy respon-
sibilites He has contrived in various ways to rid
himself of many of these He is no longer actively
engaged In business.
Yet he has found it impossible to settle down
and enjoy his leisure. He is nervous, he suffers
from sleeplessness he is forever moving feverishy
from place to place.
Before the war he was a persistent tourist in
Europe. Nowhere did he remain long in any one
city country.
he voyaged like prisoner pacing restlessly
up and down in an enormous Jail.
The trouble with this man, though he does not
know it, is that he has failed lamentably to be his
own palace
He has given years to amassing the kind Of
wealth represented by his manifold material possess
sions. He has given scarcely many days to
accommodating true personal riches.
He is totally uninterested In literature, art,
music philosophy, the sciences the beauties and
wonders of nature. His ego is miserable howell,
not a palace.
a. No wonder he keeps in flight from himself. No
wonder he perpetually feels and behaves like some
wretched, restless captive in a jail.
The world is full of men conditioned like this.
They may not be wealthy the millionaire.
Few of them are. But like him they have neglect
ed to amass wealth of the spirit.
Contrasting with them, pleasantly contrasting,
there are some men, even men living in tenements,
who live joyous and free because they are their
palaces.
Never they at loss for mind-flling, soul
satisfying occupation. They do not need to harry
themselves all over the world in quest of the blue
bird of happiness.
1t iuttering to them in the pages of a
book, in quiet corner OF some art gallery in the
trees of a park, in the sights and sounds of the
street.
Free men? OF course these are free men, the
freest in the world.

War Time airs.

The fairs now about over for this year
and it is hoped that they have accomplished
much good by creating greater activity in pro-

Progress.
Both county fairs and those that appeal to
larger areas are undoubtedly among the most
valuable institutions that contribute to our coun-
try's progress They stir tagging ambition, they
disseminate the newest and best ideas and meth
DDS of production, they yield an impetus to THRIFT
and this year especially have they emphasized the
lesson of patriotism.
They are able to accomplish these things even
more effectively than the written or spoken word
because they object lessons in what can be
done The witness of the eye is the most potent
appeal for the further progress of any
movement What II sees cannot be
doubted The results OF labor presented are
incontrovertible proof Processes so visualzed are
not to be forgotten The individual takes them
home with him, incorporating them into the actiV-
tiles of his own life, according them such modifca-

suited to evolve.
Diversifcation of farm crops has long been the
slogan of the south. Each year the fairs bring
ocular demonstration of what has been already &C
complished and thereby unavodably pointing the
way to still greater achievements. Thrift In the
preservation and use of food has long been south
ern need Each year the fairs show the advances
made in solving this problem. From these sources
cattle and hog raising has received its greatest IN
centive From them the adaptation of improved
farm machinery to the needs of the southern farmer
has shown its value.
The fairs everywhere should therefore receive
the whoehearted support of all progressive and
patriotic citizens In time of peace they are fruit
