Judge Youman Gives His Opinion
On Law Violation

Sioux Falls Nov, 2-PriSOn sen
tenCes ranging from one year and
a day to two years were imposed
on twenty-six German Socialists,
convicted here last week for con-
spring to obstruct the seleCtive
draft in federal court here today
by Judge Youmans. Fines rang
ing from $500 to ST 1000 also were
assessed against them.
August Friedrich, alleged lead
er of the conspiracy, was fined
81 900 and sentenced to five years
in prison. Motions for a new
trial were denied. The men will
be sent to the federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kansas.
The twenty-Seven Socialists,
most of whom are farmers, were
arrested by federal officials near
Tripp last August after they had
addressed several intimidatin2
letters to state and county officers
charged with the administering
of the conscription law. One of
them was addressed to Governor
Norbeck. The government in
troduced evidence during the trial
to prove the men had sought to
obstruct the draft law in Hutch.
inson county. The convictions
were secured under the espionage
act.
Twenty-ei2ht men were indict
ed altogether by the grand jury
here. The remaining defendant
who is now i'll will be placed on
trial later.

no occasion to change my views
upon that point.
With regard to the enforce

situation in which we find our
selves. We have perhaps one in
stance at least in the history o
our country which may be com

EmeraIds and Beryls.

There is no decline In the vogue of
the emerald, using the word not in the
generic sense of the trade, but for a
beryl of the accepted green emerald
hue. Fine specimens always cause a
6utter in the auction room, for the
very good reason that those are ex-
tremely rare. Perfect stones are as
costly as fine rubies and, of course,
much more so relatively than dia-
monds.
The Duke Of Devonshire owns what
is believed to be the largest and near
est faultlessness in existence, and it
came from Nuzo In Colombia, the main
source of modern examples. The an
cient emeralds of great magnitude we
read of were probably not beryls at all,
and, indeed, oriental emerald is the
designation of the green corundum.-

Wheat Crop Of
Three States

Portland, Ore, July 19.-Despite
smaller grain crops this year than
last, Pacific northwest farmers will
make more money this year than ever
before.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho
will produce 54,3S5, 900 bushels Of
wheat this year compared with 61,-
100000 in 1916. However, this sea-
sons crop, when harvested, will sell
for sos, 900, 900, while last year it
brought only $75,OO0,0OO.
Increased prices have more than
made up for the shrinkage in yield
These are the estimates today Of
Lyman H. Cohen, market and crop
expert, who has returned from a
1,600-mile trip through the grain
growing districts of the Inland EN-
pire.
The damage of hot winds and un-
usually dry weather has cost north
west farmers many millions, accord
ing to Cohen. And the danger Of loss
from unfavorable weather is not yet
passed. Ten days more of hot wealth
er and drying winds will cut the yield
millions of bushels. A heavy rain
would increase 1t proportionately.

Washington this year will produce

When an animal dies in a garden or

less snake wantonly killed by some
wanderer provides banquet for hun

"gravediggers" are found, embracing
forty-three species, twelve of which
are found in Europe, the rest in Amer
lea.
You can identify these beetles, says
the Popular Science Monthly, by the
two Jagged yellowlsh red or reddish
transverse bands upon their black
wing covers. Their scientific name.
necrophorus, means no more than
"buriers of the dead.' AS undertakers
the insects have legs especially adapt

tion long distance away and flies to
the dead thing as straight as an ar

AS a rule several gravediggers are
found near dead body. They crawl
under it and scratch the supporting
earth away, so that the body soon lies
in hollow. Gradually the body is
lowered until it sinks below the sur
face. Then it is covered with earth
