Rich Graphite Mines.

Important graphite deposits near Turl1ushansk are now being worked, and it is expected that the mines will supply sufficient mineral to fill the de- mands of the country and leave lit- tie for export purposes. Tests have shown that this mineral is to be had at this point in very large quantities, but the most important feature of the mines is the purity of the yield, which is said to average 98 per cent pure carbon. The graphite supply has here tofore come mainly from Austria and Ceylon, but the Russian mines prom ise to equal these sources of supply.

The two houses have not agreed on
the liquor question and there are
those who say that the disagreement
will continue to the end and that as
a result there will be no legislation
to change the present law. The house
has passed what is known as the
''bone dry measure and that IS no"
before the senate, and the senate mas
passed a bill which permits quart
a month to be procured on the pre-
scription Of physician when actually
needed for medicinal purposes. i:e:'e
are those who seem to think that the
r~:-so will agree to the senate bill
with certain amendments, but it Is
my opinion if adjournment is had this
week which is possible that there Will
be no liquor legislation at this session.
~
Nhe general opinion is that ad-
iournment will be had on Saturday. AS
this is the first session I am lnclin-
ed to the belief that adjournment VIII
come on Saturday and the matters
that have not been reached Will be
continued to the next session. The
sena.e has not yet acted on the ap-
preparation bill, but that will be fixed
up in free conference to snit the pow
ers that be and the law and order
fund and other matters that the ad
ministration wants can be put in IN
free conference.
o.
I notice that on Tuesday night the
senate continued to the next session
al second reading bills on the calen-
dar. That means that the senate is
getting ready for final adjournment
on Saturday. The appropriation bill
has not yet come from the finance
committee, but it can be put through
and fixed up as l have said in free
conference to suit the powers that be,
and the members generally will not
know what i contains until they come
home and the acts are published. The
house members said that they would
be ready for adjournment by Satur-
day if the senate should be. There
will be little time for discussion Of
the appropriation bill by the senate,
but they can get through very we'll
by taking the committee report and
when the senate amendments if there
should be any get back to the house
the house will refuse concurrence and
then tie whole matter will go to free
conference and that committee viii
be named by Mr.. Lilies from the house
and by Hr Bethea from the senate
and whatever they do will be the
thing that is done and they can maAe
a new bill.
\ To get back to Newberry I have
just learned that the total collected
from the communication tax in 1915 Was
around $1,000 and that in 1916 there
was collected s2,6O4. That is very
far short Of the $4,000 estimated by
the members in making up their to-
tai income for the county. 1t may
be a great deal more this year.

MUST She We'd?
LITTLE BOHEMIAN GIRL TELLS
COURT OF THREATENING
LETTER SHE RECEIVED.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 21.-She was as
pretty as a picture. A pair of soft,
brown, deep-set eyes, well rounded
face and dark tresses that hung
loosely from a perky little bonnet.
or course she got attention when
she made her little plea in the coun-
ty court room before Judge Medin.
Those fortunate enough to be there
were all eyes and ears.
She was Bohemian. They guessed
that. And young. And must she
marry Ii she did not wish to? Was
this America not called free? Some
masculine fists were clenched. Who
was the brute?
She showed a letter, scrubbed
painfully, but meaning plain. The
writer had not mailed it. No, he
knew America. He left it where she
found it, with her name addressed
no signature and curiosity-perhaps
it did the rest.
The letter in its crude way told OF
a fervent love. 1t threatened dire
and awful threats unless the girl
would wed and go away.
Well, would she? Oh, she might
some day, but she would do the pick
ing, or at least she had to know the
man, so she opined.
The courts get used to odditie:
and human struggles with the
wrongs Of life. The Judge just tool
that little girl and gave her good ad
vice and when she left the court
room, her smile was most serene.

rested by a deputy United States
marshal on the charge of violating
the provisions of the espionage act,
Joseph Greiser, an Ardmore man,
has been lodged in the Lawrence

1t is charged that among other un.
patriotic utterances he stated he in

for the kaiser. When the patriotic
young American got through with
him there is said to have been no
fight left in Greiser. AS the result
of his preliminary hearing he was
held for appearance before the next

$4,000, was placed in Jail.

BOLSHEVIKI Will Win
SUCH Is THE OPINION OF PROF,
HANSEN, OF STATE
COLLEGE.

Sioux City, Dec. 21,-That the
bolshevik government will stand and
that Kerensky failed because he did
not have sand enough to start in
with the g%uillotine or some modern
substitute for it, is the opinion of
Prof. N. K. Hansen, of Brookings,
s. D., who has made five trips to
Russia and has passed months at a
time among the bolsheviki.
Prof. Hansen, who has been con-
nected with the South Dakota State
college and who attended the meet
ing Of the Northwestern Iowa Horti-
cultural society, is now engaged in a
propaganda that has for its purpose
the development of the driest up
lands of the western states and the
bottom lands that dry off too late for
the cultivation of corn.
1T is an economic explosion that
has occurred in Russia" Prof. Han
sen said. "A similar one may occur
In Germany. We may have to has
ten the day. / know the purposes of
the bolsheviki. They want to divide
the land and all the big estates in
Russia, to abolish all crowned heads
and all titles of nobility and form a
United States of Russia. They want
Russia for the Russians.
II am not expressing my own
opinions, but giving the spirit and
viewpoint of the Russians, who have
become hungry and wolflike under
oppression and starvation. The boil
shevik government Is urging the
whole world to revolt and explode.
Mexico had an explosion and Russia
followed. Where the lid will blow
off next we can only guess, but it
ought to be in Germany.
1T Is believed by the bolsheviki
that there will not be left a crowned
head In all Europe, that the auto
Gratis will go to the block and the
guillotine will soon be at work. In
the light of historical events ii is to
be assumed that this war will be set
tied by force and plenty of it. No
one can be a pacifist who is a cos
mopolitan. If the trouble comes to
a head quickly 1t will save many
lives"
Prof. Hansen, who had been asso-
ciated with the department of agri-
culture as an agricultural explorer
in Russia and Asia, is trying to in
troduce through the western states
the cultivation of prose-, a large
white kerneled grain that is the
staple food of millions in Asia and
in Siberia and Russia.

talk OF LEAVING
MENNONITES MAY GO TO AN
OTHER COUNTRY.

Mitchell, Dec. 21.-The United
States is too rampant for good Men
nonites.
According to people who have Wis
tied. the Mennonite and Hutterische
colonies along the Jim river south of
here, a plan is on foot to move the
colonies to some more peaceful coun-
try.
According to members of the colo
MES. the draft is to blame for 1t all.
There is no particular objection to
the country as a whole, and there is
no Mennonite law against going to
war-as a nation. But when that
war necessitates fighting on the part
Of the colonists-well, it just won't
do, that is all.

by the five colonies some time ago.
Wipf and other leaders had been to
Washington to endeavor to get their
boys exempted from military service.
While there. according to Mr.. Wipf,
they made a free offering of $4,000
to the government to use as it saw
fit. Newspapers, in printing the
story, indicated that the offering was
in the nature of payment for ex-
emption.

DAKOTA DANES BORN In GER
MANY CANNOT ENLIST
FOR SERVICE.

viborg, Dec. 21.-Walter N. Mel
son and John p. Nelson, brothers,
who live here, had an interesting ex-
perience trying to break into the
United States army. Because they
were born lover the fence from
Denmark on the soil of the kaiser
they were unsuccessful in their eff
forts to join the fighting forces OF
the United States. They first went
to Sioux Falls and tried to enlist, but
were rejected because they did not
have final citizenship papers. They
then went before the clerk of the
federal court, but he could do moth
ing for them. AS a last resort they
went to Aberdeen and made another
attempt before the recruiting officer
in that city. but again were unsuc-
cessful. While they were born on
German soil, they talk the Danish
language and r loyal Americans at
heart.
