soil Survey Indorsed.

Mitchell.-A state appropriation for
a soil survey of South Dakota vas
urged in resolutions adopted at the
anpual session of the South Dakota
grain growers. The grain growers also
favored the recommendation that the
grain growers hold their annual ses-
sion in a different part of the state
each year, in order to bring its work
in touch with the largest number OF
farmers. officers of the organization
were reelected. They are H. e.
Dawes, of Fulton, president; Sam
Carlson, of Elk Point, vice president;
Prof. A. N. Hume, of Bookings, Sec
rotary, and E. P. Sand, of MITCHELL
treasurer. The growing prominence of
potatoes in the produce market and
the unprecedented prices this year
brought the growers of tubers into
prominence and the movement
launched by Charles McCaffree, state
immigration commissioner, resulted
in the naming of a committee, headed
by former Gov. Sam II. Elrod, OF
Clark, to investigate crop production
and best marketing methods in South
Dakota.

Pierre.-The increase in deposits in
the banks of South Dakota, in the
period from September II last to No
vember II, was s14,113,963, putting
the total deposits in the banks Of the
state up to Sal 92,316. 1t has been
but a short time since the deposits
went over the 500, 000, 900 line in
South Dakota, and 1t is 10Y crawling
close to $780, OO, 900. OF the increase
over $11 900, 600 was in the state
banks of the state, and the rest in
the national banks. A same ratio Of
increase for the next few months as in
the past few months will carry the
amount over $3.50, 900, 900, but the ratio
Of increase is likely to be lighter up
to the time of the harvesting Of the
next crop, and the spring condition is
as likely to show a small reduction as
it is to show ar increase.

He CAN'T BE FOOLED AGAIN
Next Person Who Goes Into This Gro
Gerry Store With Pot Will Be
Looking for Trouble.

Into the grocery store walked an
tread, and carrying on her arm a bas-
ket containing a large earthenware pot
with q lid.
Placing the basket on the counter,
she made various purchases, which she
put carefully in the pot and had her
bill made out.
"By the way" she said, edo you
mind keeping this pot with the pur-
chases in it until l come back and pay
for them, as l have to buy other things
some distance off, and it will be more
convenient for me to leave the things
here till later?"
This request was willingly acceded
to, and, lifting the pot carefully out Of
the basket, the old dame placed it,
with an effort, in a corner; then,
putting her basket on her arm, left the
shop.
Hours went by, day ripened into
evening, and evening gave way to
night, but the old woman did not re-
turn.
At last the proprietor thought of
examining the earthenware pot to see
If by any chance 1t had IT'S owners
address upon it, and great was his
establishment, not untinged with dis
may, to find that it possessed no bot
tom!
Nowadays that s~hopkeeper is very
suspicious of pots in baskets.
