Sioux Falls. July 9.-Government
officials tonight were reticent in dis
GUESSING the alleged plot of the Indus
trial Workers OF the World to para
lyze the state by O concerted effort
throughout the agricultural districts
to burn the ripened crops. However,
it was stated the government was at
work investigating the plot and that

official gave additional credence to
the announcement made by army of

afoot to destroy the growing crops by
stating hat the disclosures should
be given wide publicity in order thai
the plans of the plotters might be
frustrated.
Maps Of the principal crop districts
are in possession of I. w. w. leaders
connected with the plot, it is said by
army officers. 1t also is declared
that men have been posted at vantage
points throughout the state to pro

plan had been set under way. Off

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City. July As is usual
on a Saturday there was only a few
salable cattle in the run and prices
did not show any material change
from the previous day. In the main,
closing quotations OF fat cattle show
a touch of strength with a week ago.
Cause for the Improvement towards
the close was ~traceable to the falling
off in receipts, both here and else
where Stocker and feeder situation
continues to show dull characteristics
and the weakness noted early in the
week were still effective at the finish
of the week.
Hog receipts again assumed liberal
proportions today and as a result an

Feed the Birds.

Feed the birds. This simple act Of
kindness is its own reward, but am
pie recompense is given by our little
feathered friends who delight our
eyes by their pretty manners and our
ears with their sweet, CHEEKY voices
when other. forms of nature repost in
lethargic slumber. Love for these
little creatures will prompt us to pro-
vide for them during the snowy days
when the weeds, the seeds of which
form a large part of their diet, are
encrusted with frost and ice and the
ground covered with snow. Even If
not actuated by the spirit of human
ity, a little thought will convince us
that in serving the birds we also ad-
vance our own interests, since It
would be difficult to estimate the i'm
mense amount of good these little
feathered songsters accomplish by
destroying noxious weeds and de-
structive insects. Let us therefore
assist our little helpers in their strug-
gle for existence, thus adding to the
joy Of life and conserving our own
interests as we'll.

S. P. Could Haul
l,427,775 Tons

According to report made public
in Roseburg, the Southern Pacific
Company now owns enough freight
cars to haul 1,427,775 tons at one
time. This is the largest car capacity
ever reached by the company.
A table covering the same period
since 1907 shows a constant increase
in the supply of cars by purchase, ex-
cept for 1912, when only six were
added, and 1915, when none was add
ed.
During the same period, however
1929 cars of the Pacific Fruit Ex-
press were received, which, though
not owned by the Southern Pacific,
are at home on Southern Pacific rails.
The increase of new cars from year
to year was as follows: 1907, 2,299;
1903, 1902; 1909, 1924; 1910,
3,OO2; 1911, 1885; 1912, 6; 1918,
1876. 1914. S,O15; 1915, none;
1916, 554; 1916, July / to October
81, 1894.
During November, 1916, the COM
pany received $40 additional cars,
but the aggregate capacity is not yet
known. Still, 1,407 cars are due on
the 1916 equipment order.

WANTED
Proposed County
Unit School Plan

The county unit plan for all schools
in districts below the first class prob
ably will be presented to the legisla-
ture for enactment into law.
State superintendent of Schools
Churchill, who strongly favors the
plan, discussed it Monday with the
county school superintendents, who
were in session at the capitol in the
capacity of an examining board.
The plan is to centralize the au-
thority over all the schools in a
county, excepting those in districts
of the first class. Each county
adopting the plan would be divided
into five districts. Each district
would elect a member of the county
school board. This board of five
members would appoint county
school superintendent, who would be
the practical educational and busi-
ness head of the schools in the coun-
ty.
The county school superintendent
would nominate the teachers for all
the schools. He would place the
teachers There they could do the best
work. The taxes for the schools
would oe levied on a county unit
basis.
Where the county unit has been
adopted. Mr. Churchill said, great
benefit has resulted, particularly to
the rural schools, as a trained county
superintendent, with proper author
ity, is more able to establish and
maintain an efficient school than are
the average rural school directors.

BlameS Disease
On Catalogues

new and unique theory as to the
cause of the isolated cases Of infantile
paralysis which have sprung up
throughout the west is advanced by
DR.. Shoemaker of Roseburg. The
Roseburg Review reports as follows.
TO the question which has puzzled
local physicians and health authori-
ties for the past several weeks, what
caused the outbreak of infantile pa
ralysis in this vicinity recently, an an
swer was made by City Health Officer
Dr. B. r. Shoemaker here yesterday.
In an address before the Parent
Teacher Association at the Rose
school in the afternoon, DR.. Shoemak-
er stated that the cases found here
were identical with those in the east
ern states, and that because of the
apparent isolation of the cases and
the utter lack of any more attributal
cause, they were undoubtedly deveh-
oped here by means of articles of mail
matter received from the afflicted sec
tions of the east.
Since the cases were in farming
community such as Looking Glass, the
theory seems all the more probable,
said the speaker. Throughout the
farming districts of this country great
quantities of farm magazines, ship
ments of household articles, and num-
bers of catalogues are received con-
stantly. 1t is my opinion that the
germs of the disease reached this sec
tion through some of these shipments
or upon catalogues which are sent out
from the stricken states in large
quantities..
While DR.. Shoemaker did not state
that the disease was the probable out
growth of a habit that is quite gen
eral tina: of patronizing the mail or
der establishments of the east, this
may be implied from the various re-
marks made during the course of the
address.
DR.. Shoemaker also called atten-
tion to the other contagious diseases
prevalent in this vicinity, and eau
toned the parents to inform the Of
ficers of every case involving the
members of their families, In this
connection he spoke of both the chick
enpoX and the measles, several cases
being now under the supervision of
the various physicians. The measles
are not always the simple disease they
are supposed to be, was the declara
tion made by DR.. Shoemaker. He
pointed cut that 10000 deaths oc-
Cured in 2S states from the disease
last year alone. If cooperation is
given by the parents to aid the ply
sicians, sold Or. Shoemaker, there
will be little trouble as the result OF
present cases lie said the Officers
now have all the diseases well in hand
and expect no further alarm
