STATE FAIR
1T WILL BE CONVERTED INTO A
FOOD TRAINING CAMP
THIS YEAR.

Huron, June 5.@The South Da-
kota state fair and exposition, Sep
TENDER 1914, inclusive, which is to
be converted into a food training
camp" in the voluntary service of the
government, has issued a call to i'm
plement manufacturers and dealers
for enlistments in the machinery dl-
vision of the camp.
Knowing that increased food pro-
duction is 10 depend to a large extent
upon the more general use of farm
machinery of the latest types, the
fair management is making a special
effort to interest manufacturers and
dealers of farm machinery of all i'm
proved kinds in exhibiting at the
South Dakota state fair and EXPOSE
ton. AS much as possible all farm
machinery shown will be kept in mo-
ton, to demonstrate the ability OF
this machinery to do the things
claimed for it.
Word has just reached Secretary
c. N. McIlvaine that officials of the
National Implement Dealers associa-
ton have succeeded in inducing the
government to place agricultural inn
plements upon the preferred list OF
commodities given prior right &c
railway shipment. This is a ruling
which not only insures a big exhibit
of farm machinery at the coming
fair, but also assures manufacturers
and buyers of farm machinery in this
territory of the best of transportation

PLEADS FOR BONDS
DIR. FRIEDE DALSEM, GERMAN
BORN, APPEALS TO LOYAL
TY OF COUNTRYMEN.

Huron. June 5.-Dr. Friede Van
Dalsem, one of the oldest practicing
physicians in Huron, and a German
by birth, has sent out an appeal to all
German-Americans in this vicinity to
assist America at the present time by
buying Liberty bonds. She was n
of the first in Huron to subscribe for
a large sum, and her statement will
no doubt have much influence with
the citizens of foreign ancestry.
In her signed statement, DR.. Van
Dalsem says, Whether we are of
German birth, of American birth, or
born in any other country. let us all
say, America first We have sworn
allegiance to America. If we are true
to ourselves, we must be true to our
government. Especially so If our
government needs our assistance.
Even though it has not been our wish
to go into this war, since we are in
it, let us all say America first. and
prove our loyalty to the flag as true
American citizens. Let us assist our
country in this crisis by buying lib
erty bonds. Come on, my German
friends, let us say America first :
DR.. Van Dalsem has been practic-
ing medicine in Huron for many
years., coming here in the sos from
Iowa. Previous to her residence in
Iowa she was a resident of Missouri
where she practiced medicine in 1864
during civil war times. She was
born in Germany in 1914 and came
to America in 1862.

DANGEROUS Bean
BURMA LIMAS POISONOIS-SALf
FORBIDDEN IN EUROPE
PRESENCE UNEXPLAINED.

Bookings. June 5.-A few days
ago a sample of beans that were pur-
chased for navy beans by a South
Dakota correspondent was received
by Prof. N. +. Hansen, of State col
lege for inspection. The correspond
ent asked, IF they are navy beans
can you explain the color2' The
beans resemble the navy beans in
shape, but instead of the usual clear
white they have a faint yelloWish
tinge. In addition, there is usually
a large irregular area on each SIDE
which is as though water soaked.
Only close inspection reveals TINS,
however. The veins radiate out from
the eye of the bean like a lima. For
the casual observer they might easily
pass for navy beans.
These samples We're sent to Wash
ington and the following reply has
lust peer received from -. n. Shoe-
maker. horticntturist. United States
department Of agriculture. Washing
ton, ID. c.:
The beans turn out to be a form
of lima. probably imported from
East India. | have two OF three
samples and our bureau OF chemistry
has made an analysis of some OF
these samples and finds that they
are very high in ~hydrocyanic content.
You may be aware that some Of tfese
East India limas are accountable Tor
extensive poisoning at times In IN
dia and the orient and that european
countries as France and Germany.
for a number of years have o hidden
lima Deans of more than a certain
cyanogen content to be imported IN
to their countries. We have no reg
ulations on the matter so far and
apparently some of the beans which
would have difficulty in entering
France have been sen to this eoun-
try. They will not do for seed IN
any part of the United States unless
il be the extreme gulf coast, since
they are very long season in
growth"
Prof. Hansen then sent a larger
sample to Washington and received
a report that the beans are Burma
limas, with dangerously high cyan
ogen content.

%CONSCRIPTION men
LIKELY CALL WILL BE MADE
WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER
REGISTRATION.

Washington, ID. c., June 5.-Plans
or the war department to draft from
100000 to l 500, 900 men of the TO-
600, 600 who it is estimated will reg
lister today for the new army were
disclosed by Provost Marshal Gen.
Crowder to the senate military af-
fairs committee. Exemptions, he
said, probably would result in re-
ducing the number to 625 900 men
for immediate service.
While the war department had
originally planned to first select
500, 900 e Gen. Crowder told the
committee the plans have been re
vised and it now is proposed to re-
quire 625 900. To secure this num-
Der. he said, ii probably will be nee
essary to draft at least 900 600 and
possibly 1900, 900 because of expect
ed exemptions.
Gen. Crowder told the committee
the additional 125,000 will be need
ed to fill up vacancies in the army
of 500 900, and to keep training
camps in continuous operation.
When the original plans for service
from half a million men were made,
he said. the department had not
planned to send American forces
abroad so soon. Casualties from for
eign service. he believed, sickness,
etc. make necessary a reserve of
$4,000 men. in addition TO the duty
at training camps.
Gen. Crowder told the committee
he favored immediate drafting OF
men registering rather than post
ponement of the draft for several
weeks after registration. He regards
il desirable that men drafted may
know and can have a few weeks to
make their personal arrangements II
called to the colors.
Details OF making exemptions also
were explained TO the committee by
the provost marshal general. lie
said the government does not con
template any class exemptions, bul
that all will he personal. Farmers
!. factory operatives and other speciaI
classes would not be exempted as
such. nor territorially. but all eNemp'
tions Will be made individually.
The men drafted probably will IL

IN. Crowder said and addci tia.
he favored Eeel ming election

SOUTH DAKOTA GUARD

WITH STATE TROOPS.

Sioux Falls, June Sit is doubt
full if any of the national guard units
in the United States have their or
CARNATIONS recruited up in better

turn from the border in March had
S14 enlisted men. The third battal-
ion. which is at this time in the fed
eral service. should have a total of
500 men, or $50 to a company. A
conservative estimate would give
them a present strength of 500 and
recruiting Is being strenuously push
ed under the direction OF the fed
eral government. The organizations
of the Fourth infantry, no as yet
mustered into federal service, should
have a strength of 1,4O1 men me

The choice medicinal herbs which
will cure women's- ailments were dis
