NARROW ESCAPE
LEON RUMNEL PULLED FROM
UNDER WAGON IN NICK
OF TIME.

Timely action OF the part of Rob
ert Mosher yesterday afternoon prob
ably saved the life of Leon Rummel,
according to a statement today of
Arbor Greene, 102 West First street,
who witnessed the reported near
tragedy.
Mr.. Mosher and Mr.. Rummel. who
are hauling ice for the Haley & Lang
company, were walking beside a wag-
onload of ice, just west of the city
limits. Mr.. Rummell, while looking
behind him slipped in the muddy
road, falling toward the wagon. A
front wheel of the wage grazed his
leg, and, having fallen in a depres-
sion, he was rolling back in front OF
the rear wheel, which might have
passed directly across his body. Re
alizing that there was not sufficient
time to stop the team, Mr.. Mosher
Jerked his companion to one side,
free of the pathway of the wheel.
Mr.. Rummel sustained slight in
juries to his right knee and foot.

SHORT COURSE
DEMONSTRATIONS FOR THE
FIRST TIME WILL BE IN
RAMONA.

For the first time, the Lake county
farmers institute and short course
will be held in Ramona.
The Lake county farmers institute
was one of the first organizations OF
it's kind in South Dakota. The first
meetings, held some twelve years or
so ago., were well patronized. Lately
interest has Jagged, and it is thought
that a better patronage will be realiz-
ed il the institute is held, for a time
at least, in the smaller towns.
AT the coming short course, which
will be held three days. commencing
February 26. there will be daily dem
onstrations and practical talks on the
principles of breeding, feeds and
feeding, judging of live stock, farm
ornamentation, windbreaks and gar
dening.
The practical course will be con-
Quoted under the direction of the
State Agricultural college extension
division, and speakers are listed as
follows:
Guy Morrison, live stock; +. +.
Mccall, horticulture, and Miss Dilla
fWimple, home problems. Farm men
and women are urged to make the
most of these meetings which will be
largely informal. The speakers are
the servants of the state and the farm
and home problems should be put up
to them.

RISKY DRIVING
EXPERIENCED AUTO MEN SAY
AT LEAST TWO SHOULD
BE IN CAR.

Recent automobile accidents lin
this section, a comparatively few Of
which have caused serious injury to
the occupants of the machines, has
brought the suggestion from garage
wner and experienced drivers that
at this time of year, when roads are
uncertain. never fewer than two per
sons should occupy a car.
1t was pointed out that it is rarely
when two or more persons occupy a
car. that fatalities result. The most
recent case cited is that of George
Zetner, of Ramona. who is in the
Madison hospital. suffering from in
juries sustained when~a car he was
driving pinned him beneath il for
more than an hour.
Ii is explained that only in isolated
instances are two or three people
pinned beneath an overturned auto
mobile. People thrown free, espe-
cially when a car is not running at
an exceedingly high rate of speed, are
often able TO lend assistance to any
one who happens to fall under the
machine.

LEGISLATINE COMMITTEE To
LOOK INTO BUSINESS METH
DDS OF STATE INSTITUTIONS.

with the Joint appropriation commit
tee on his proposal TO have a sub
committee make a detailed investlga-
ton of institution needs and meth
DDS of doing business, and found the
sentiment 2 10 ] in favor OF his reso-
luton.
The appropriation situation has
been irritated by the presentation OF
a voucher from the Aberdeen normal
for flowers. and a voucher presented
by the new warden of the %peniten-
tiary for cigars used in entertaining
visitors.
Mr.. Barclay. who is an extensive
farmer and a first termer, says thal
any private business would soon De
bankrupted if conducted along the
line of public affairs. He is willing
70 support any needed allowances,
but contends that there should be a
closer check on expenditures.
In the senate Waters presented d
resolution to submit the question OF
equal suffrage TO the voters again a.
the next general election, and Gun-
derson a resolution for an amend
ment TO the constitution TO allow the
state to engage in the manufacture
of cement and cement products.
m the house the appropriation
committee returned a favorable re-
mort on the Benson bill for the adop-
tion of A state budget system, n the
house refused to overturn the ad-
verse committee report on the Dlil 10

Special legislation will be at
this session to centralize uthorlly az

Through friction in the state poalu
of charities and corrections IL mas
been discovered that the superlntend-
ent does not have jurisdiction over

der present conditions the steward
has leaned toward one faction OF the

ward the other faction, creating a
strained situation. This discovery OF
the stewards Independent rights was
a revelation to legislators and prob
ably will not be allowed to continue.
