STATE OFFICERS
 TAKE THE OATH
(Continued from page D

there was a suggestion Of construc- tive legislation.
 Governor Brough recommended the return to the old form of government for the State charitable institution, through an honorary board of repres- entative citizens, a separate board TOT the Confederate Home which he does not class as a charitable institution, and "a comprehensive financial sys- tenn which will put the state warrants immediately at par by the issuance or bonds to care for the present lndebted- ness, and then increase revenues so as to retire the bonds when they come due.
 Dr. Brough struck a happy note when he announced at the outset that he hoped to make Arkansas a governor for all the people, and so clear was the logic of the message that throughout the audience gave him the closest or attention. Gov Brough displayed knowledge of many things that new hand in the office of the executive IS supposed to learn only by experience demonstrating that he has been qulte busy in his investigations since he De- came the Democratic nominee, and was sure to be the States next goVer- nor.
 In many places Dr. Brough eVidenc- ed a keen appreciation Of the pres ence of women on state boards, for Ill most of the commissions he suggested, he left the inference that women were acceptable as members. Dr. Brough sueeested some twelve or fifteen com missions to study difference phases or the States affairs, and comentlng upon his wholesale recommendations along this line stated that the cost would be so small that if any one of the commis- sions accomplished anything it would more than pay for the cost of all.
 After having a tribute to the indus trial greatness of Arkansas, ana US growing resources, Dr. Brough branch ed into the revenue problem, showing that the state would on July l face deficit of $75O,oO0, and that the assess cd valuation of property had actually decreased since 1913. Speaking of the assosauent condition, pr. Brough said: eThey arc sad commentaries on our antiouated and crazy quilted revenue

A saxon.French Cigar Lighter.

Several years ago the then new min
lister of France, NJ. Klotz, decided to
impose tax OF two francs, or 40
cents American money, on each cigar
lighter used in that country. The rca-
son for this is that the sale of matches
In France is in the hands Of the gov
ernmcnt monopoly and the portabl"
lighters interfcred with the sale Of the
matches. ON the other hand the
matches have become so bad in quality
that they are subject of complaint and
ridicule. The law has become unpopu-
lar and there is an effort now being
made To have the order rescinded. Not
withstanding the fact that an in
creased tax was placed on tobacco by
the French government several years
ago, il has caused n tendency TO In
crease smoking and that Is proven by
the many smokers to be seen in public
places and thOrOughfares.

proper allowance Of time, we would
say. would be 36 hours.
The other day, Captain Lauriat of
the Italian aviation corps made the
journey by airplane in II hours and
minutes. For him, there was no
such thing as frontiers, no delays eX-
cept those he himself willed, no Off
cials in seedy uniforms TO make Il
mess of his baggage unless he selected

WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required in New
York Banks, But They Are
More Methodical.

There is at present no woman Off
Ger of New York city bank. and only
one In New Jersey, but II the war
lasts long enough IL may well be, ms
Il is in Canada now, that the banks
will virtually be run by women. Al
ready, II Is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on In the Wall street
district since the United States en-
tered the war last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
fut, said an official Of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, so, although twice
as many women as men are needed
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds of
dollars which had to be paid To the
clearing house for the mems mistakes.
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost S25 or $50 week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-
les and Metals bank now has "a
women and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. So
far these 90 women are taking the
places of only 36 men, which shows
the difference in rapidity, but the Off
! cial of the bank pointed out that II
would be serious problem when The
! men came home for their jobs.

Dakota seed Corn in Great Demand


George b. Kennard, emergency
demonstration agent for Minnehaha
county. has issued an urgent appeal
to the farmers who have not yet Sc
lected their seed corn for next year
10 do so at once. He sizes up the
situation as follows:
Owing TO the early frosts in south
crn Minnesota. northern Iowa. WiscCn-
sin and Michigan, there is likely 10 be
an unusual demand for South Dakota
seed corn. in addition to the usual de-
mand from North Dakota. Montana.
wyoming, Idaho. East OreGOn and
Washington. as well as our OWL state.
The 1918 corn crop depends, in large
measure. upon the seed selected at
this time and prior TO this tine The
hard frost in this locality a short :ime
ago. undoubtedly did considerable
damage to seed corn still In the field.
Some farmers have repcr.cd that the
cob was badly frozen II this is the
clse. the termination power is un-
doubtedly lowered. However much
~1od seed corn can still be gathered in
the field before huskine time. Those
ears that are reasonably dry and
-ound are not likely to be injured TO
any degree. They may be, however

in the face of the present world short
age of food and the need for greater
production and conservation.
I'VE will emphasize as never be

South Dakota is a great agricultural
state and that we are an agricultural

War Declared on
Rats by U. S. Govt,

The government at Washington is pre-
pairing a campaign that should be effec-
tive in killing the rats that are so destruc-
tive both TO lives and property. A con-
servative estimate places the loss of food
stuffs from rats at over two hundred mill
lion dollars annually, and in the present
scarcity OF food, this loss must be pre-.
vented The most efficient way 10 XIII
the Rat" is by the use of Stearns Paste,
and thousands of dollars worth have been
bought by the government. Every house
or waterbugs should buy small box OF
this reliable eXterminator for thirty-hve
cents, and stop further loss OF food In
her home. Adv.
