SINKING A SUBMARINE.
How the U-2e and Its Daring Crew
Were Sent to the Bottom,

Won Weddigen, the hero Of the Ger

After hard day on the job, looking
Pr game in the upper North sea, the
U-29 went ito sleepy resting with q
slight negative buoyancy Oh a shelving
sand bank. Outside Of the watch Office:
and the regular standing watch, all
hands must have turned in, sleeping III
their leather suits. 1t is SUPPOSED that
as the watch j the telephones heard
the nearing pYpeller beats of Brit

sounded-"TJbch station!'-with every
man flying t. his post.

brated the slow chugs Of big ship pro-
pellers, which told him that the Brit

trim, he came to fighting position. His
periscope tipped the surface.
He was lucky enough to come be.

rons, with the Iron Duke leading the
right column, flying Jellicoe's flag. The
periscope of the U-20 showed up half
way between the squadrons, six cables
apart. She got off her torpedo, which
passed under the Iron Duke Immedi-
ately she fired No. ., which also miss
ed, going astern. Because of danger of
smashing their own ships none of the
British gun crews dared to fire at the
German submarine.
Put after the second torpedo some
thing went wrong with the U-20. Ell
Their the valves failed to work, which,
by taking water into compensating
tanks, were to equalize the weight of
the discharged torpedoes, or at the in
slant the diving rudder man failed in
giving enough down rudder" At any
rate, the nose of the submarine shot
up above the water.
She started Immediately to begin to
dive, but the dreadnaught, third in
the left column, swung out of line and
went full speed for the U boat. The
big ship caught her on the ram, spear
ing her like a whale, and raised her
along the cutwater until the subma-
rfne was half out Of Water-a fash,
a grinding smash, the U-29 balancing
first one way, then the other. and final
" dropping, the lettered bow foremost!
The dreadnaught swung back into COL

without a shot fired, the grand feet
proceeded.
This is the true story of how Won
Weddigen persisted. 1t came from a

Fright and the Hair,

The hair does stand on end under
certain conditions, because there is
a little muscle down at the root of
each hair that will make each hair
stand up straight when this muscle
pulls certain way. 1t is difficult to
say just how these muscles are caused
to act in this way when we are fright
ened. We know that when thoroughly
frightened our hair will sometimes
stand straight up, and we know that
it is this muscle at the root of each
hair that makes it possible, says the
Book Of Wonders, but why it is that
a big scare will make this muscle act
this way we do not as yet know.

THE BIBLE NEGLECTED.
Though Sill the Best Seller, 1t Is Not
Read as 1t Used to Be.


Although the Bible still leads all 9th
er best sellers, few read it. People
still present Bibles to brides and
grooms. People still present Bibles to
children. Coiporteurs still roam the
country handing out Bibles among the
villagers Associations of devout en-
thusiasts still put Bibles in hotels. But
the Bible is seldom read aloud in the
home. And the type of American who
daily reads his Bible in secret from a
sense OF duty is becoming more and
more rare.
Quite apart from it's moral and re-
Igious bearings. the neglect of the Ri
bic involves a cultural handicap worth
noting. 1t involves u cramping of the
popular vocabulary, as no other liter
airy masterpiece is such a we'll of Eng
fish pure and indebted. 1t involves u
dulling Of literary perceptions, as liter
allure abounds in Biblical illusions
which every reader of the Bible III
stantly understands, but which only
readers of the Bible ever can. Finally
II AlNOlNeS failure to respond to
many a good joke, as an astonishing
percentage OF the best quips are moth
ing more or less than Biblical illusions,
1t is mainly useless. we realize, to
propose course of self enforced Bible
reading for adults. We insist, how
ever, that parents who want their chill
dren to get the most enjoyment out of
life may well see to it that their chill
dren develop an acquaintance with the
Bible. 1t is the basis of keen speech.
1t is the basis of intelligent reading.
1t is the basis of culture. And by cul-
ture we mean capacity for enjoying
the fine and beautiful things Of this
world and the capacity for producing

Study The Bone Dry Law
And Keep Out Of Trouble

Deputy u. S. Marshal Carleton
sounds a warning TO South Dakotans
about observing the bone dry law
which goes into effct July LIST. He
says:
81 find that it is the oOncensus of
opinion among the lawyers whom l
have interviewed that a person can
have in their residence any amount
of whiskey Or beer after the first of
July, provided they do not sell or give
it away. The having of this liquor in
their possession is, however, under
the law prima facie evidence that it is
had for illegal purposes and it is up
to the owner Of the same to prove
otherwise. 1t is also the opinion of
these same attornys that a person
living in a hotel, club or rooming
house is barred from having beer or
whiskey in their possession after July
1. OF course this is discrimination,
but the knot will have to be ~untangled
by the courts"

Fnanciers consider these bonds a
first class investment, and men of big
money would doubtless take the whole

Applications for these bonds should
be made at any one of the banks in

Northern Oil Fields
Are Attracting Attention

The high prices prevailing for crude
oil and its by-products have caused
great activity in the search for Oil in
and near all known fields. In the
Oklahoma fields millions of dollars
have been made during the past two
years. The latest activity noted is in
the wyoming and Montana fields,
where some prominent citizens of
South Dakota have intrests.
The Wyoming field is very close to
western South Dakota, and It Is posi-
BILE that the oil deposits may be found
in this state. Machinery is now on
the ground at Interior, in Haakon
county to put down test wells. There
is said to be nor excitement and
gambling chances in the oil game even
than in wheat gambling, but the actu-
al field work OF locating, leasing drill
ing, piping, building tanks, Office work
ETC., keeps an army Of people busy.
