Swimmer is a Hero.

Sioux Falls.-Nels Hogan, proprie-
tor of Hudson garage, is being hailed
as hero by the residents of Hudson
because he saved Charles Larson. a
friend. from drowning. These two men
and two others were swimming in the
Big Sioux river when Larson, who is
unable to swim, got into difficulties in
a deep hole. He was going down for
the third time when Hogan discovered
his predicament and went to his res
cue. He succeeded in grasping the
drowning man by the hair, and in this
way kept his head above water until
he could make his way to shore with
the limp body Of his companion. TO
reach shore was difficult task, but
finally was accomplished.

Pierre.-A number of representa-

Trail association met here with the
newly organized state highway com
mission to discuss matters of import
to highway construction in the state,
along with the needs of such work to
secure a share of the national Apprc-
priation for that purpose. Engineer
Hathaway of the government highway
service attended the meeting and on
an inquiry as to what sort of road
construction would be required by the
government before it would be ap-
proved, made the statement that any
road to meet the government approval
must have roadway of at least SIX
teen feet on the top of any grades,
with other technical details. This
query came from members of the
meeting who stated that local high
way boards had money to expend up.
on highway work, but that they wan.-
ed to know what the government
would approve before they begun aLy
construction work on the roads. Tho

the delegates that that was one of the
first things which the new commission
would attempt to learn. and would give
to the public and the members of high
way associations of the state as soon
as they could learn particulars.
The Black and Yellow Boosters set

Ends Life in unusua, wav.

Sioux Falls.--A coroner's jury re.
turned verdi ct of suicide in the case
of Rorebt Schlitz, farmer living
twelve miles north of Mt. Vernon. He
was GO years of age. The cause of
the su icide is a mystery. He ended
his life in an unusual manner. He
went to one of the smaller buildings
on his farm and with large pocket
knife slashed his two wrists and his
throat. A couple of smaller gashes al,
so were made over the heart. He also
drank some kreso dip. When a ply.
sician arrived the effects of the loss
of blood and of the poison were such
that his life could not be saved.

Sioux Falls.-So strict are the pro.
visions of the statewide prohibition
law regulating the sale of liquor for
medicinal. scientic and sacramento
purposes, and so small the chances OF
procuring a reasonable profit from the
investment of money in liquor stocks,
that thus far but one druggist in Sioux
Falls has taken out permit to sell
liquor for these purposes. Several
other applications have beeen made
but none of them are being pressed
very earnestly. SO far as known not
single physician in the city has yet
taken out permit to prescribe liquor
for patients.

Not Fully Understood.

Apparently many employers of labor
in this state think that the workmen's
compensation law does not reach them
II they employ only one or two men.
but as the law is drawn every employ
er other than those of farm and do
nestle laborers, are liable for the
compensations fixed by the law in case

through accident. While large mum.
Der are insuring their risks. many arc

Mileage on Tax Collections.

That a sheriff is not entitled co
mileage on collection of delinquent
personal property tax unless he goes
after it is the holding of the state
legal department. The law Of the

property taxes delinquent August i,
and place the same in the hands of the
sheriff for service, and provides Is
per cent penalty on such tax as com.
pensation for such service, and that
this must be collected in person.

HOURS OF LABOR

from Seattle Post-1ntelligencsr.)

A special committee recently .
ported to the American Manufactur.
ers' association that whenever the
shorter working day becomes prohta-
BILE 1t will be adopted generally with
out compulsion Of legislation. This
sounds like q truism, but IL it3 One
of the standing arguments in favor
1t does not decrease unit production.
but that men accomplish more and do
better work with shorter than with
longer hours. This ID true in q sense.
but there IL q limit. It will not be
claimed that a man can accomplish
as much in one hours work - in
ten. What is the exact dividing line?
That is yet to be established scien.
tidcally.
The committee IL undoubtedly right
in its conclusion that manufacturers
are willing to adopt working hours
which will keep the entire working
force in the best possible condition
and bring the largest unit output per
man. If the eight-hour day does this,
then the eight-hour day will be ger.
orally observed.
There has been Of recent years q
notable change in the attitude Of
with the general Introduction of "ef-
~iciency systems" They have learned
that one of the most serious leaks in
the conduct Of a manufacturing plant
comes from constant changes in the
working force, and that conditions
nearly approaching the ideal are had
when the men are ~contented, desire
to remain and do remain in the one
employment. Big industrial corr
operations are looking for managers
who car keep on the best OF terms
with their men and hold together the
best Of their working forces. They are
improving working conditions to the
same end. They will shorten hours
when 1t is shown that it pays in prac-
teal results and in the contentment
of the working force.
Forced production with long hours
at high speed may be necessary in
some industries, under war cond1+
tons particularly, but intelligent
manufacturers realize 1t does not pay
in the long rum.
