From the Fredericktown Democrat
News: at became generally known
this week that City Superintendent OF
Public Schools Needham has resigned
and will leave Fredericktown on or
ABOUT the first of April. Mr.. Need
hams resignation was sent to the
school board in February, to take
effect the first OF March. The board,
however, felt that they could not, in
juetice to the school, allow him to
leave at that time. After some con-
s~ideration of the matter it was mutu-
ally agreed that he should be relieved
the first Of April. THE reason of the
resignation at this time is that Mr..
Noedham has the offer OF an excellent
position with a large corporation and
considers the opportunity too great to
let go by. His home for the time be-
ing will be in St. Louis"

Il, 900 Pounds Butter
AT Clark in December

Manager E. H. Baldwin, of the
Clark creamery, accompanied by Mr..
Fred Hass, one of the directors of the
company. was in the city yesterday,
attending to business matters
Asked by representative of this
paper concerning the December busi-
ness, he said that the creamery had
made about 10000 pounds Of butter
during the month. and, besides, had
handled about 10000 pounds of poul-
try. "Of course" he added '.the
poultry business will be lighter for
January. December generally being
the heaviest month in the year IN
the poultry line
Butter in Jannary?' he repeated.
well, rather think we shall equal
the December record in January, for
some of the cows owned by our pat
rons are coming fresh this month and
they find that cream checks are just
as good in January as in June, you
know.
Mr.. Hess is one Of the prosperous
farmers in the county, where he has
resided for many years. You see.s
he said. replying to an inquiry, the
farmers of our county are getting into
the habit Of raising alicia There
are only scattering fields. as yet, but
these fields are becoming more nj
merous from year to year. We are
finding that diversified farming, with
cows enough to consume our FORAGE
crops which are thus condensed into
mill, is paying us better than the
raising ofs grain for the markets, Yes.

prosperous each year, and the more

reason, the better for vs.. I

Watering" Stock to
Hedge fort he Future

I'll \ y.
The news columns of all the daily
papers recently carried the informa-
tion that Armour & Co, Of Chicago,
had declared 400 per cent dividend
in the form of stock increase from
$50 100000 to $1O0, 100000. This is
the new method of "big business. !"
Instead of cutting the melon and Civ
ing each stakeholder his piece, in the
way of cash, his stock is increased
and ths ~ il have to carry the
burden OF the increase. Under our
constitution, as now interpreted, con-
fiscatory laws can not be passed in
trying to regulate trade charges. For
Instance: if the government were to
try to regulate the price of meat it
could not cut the price below a figure
which would pay reasonable return
on capital stock after overhead
charges were taken care of. This is
why all big concerns are now swelling
their cstsnl stock. They are prepar-
ing for future attempts at regulation.
The same day that Armour & CO. cut
its big melon bacon retailed in Chi
cago at 35 cents per pound. There is
big difference between that price
and the price our South Dakota farm
ers are getting for the live hog. There
ought to be regulation, but how and
when?- Brookings Registerj

Concerning Petroleum
In Central Wyoming

|
The petroleum. resources OF central
Wyoming have engaged the attention
OF many since the days OF Captain
Bonneyille's travels in the last CEN
tury, when he described for the nrst
time some Of the tar springs Of that
region. Definite information as to the
situation Of the rock folds that are
favorable to the accumulation of oil
in this region is given in a areport just
issued by the U. S. Geological Survey.
This report contains an account OF
the oil-bearing formations in central
Wyoming, and points out the forma-
.tions most likely to contain petroleum
such as the Frontier, with it's import
ant Wall Greek and Peay sandstone
members, which are the productive
sands in the most noted commercial
oil fields of Wyoming. The report
describes more than 200 anticlinal
folds and notes whether the prospects
that they may contain petroleum are
favorable OF unfayorab bi & ea,siA
Large sums have been spent in
prospecting in this region, but much
Of it has been wasted in unlikely
places, and It is believed that wells
properly located would perhaps Yield
oil IN commercial quantities The
places where the most promising oil I
sands are concealed in anticlinal folds
are pointed out ii the final discussion.
