Tired Of Being Hunted.

Mitchell.-James C. Brusselle, for
mer cashier OF the Omaha railroad In
Mitchell, who decamped the night OF
October 81 last after embezzling about
$3.50 of the company's funds. got tired
jumping at shadows and imagining
that every stranger he saw was on his
trail. That is the reason he surren'
dered himself voluntarily to the AL
thorities at Spokane, Wash, and con
sented to come back to Mitchell to
stand trial, according to the story he
told here upon his arrival in custody
Of Sheriff z. Z. owens. Brusselle fully
admitted taking the money, declaring
that he had done so because his
household expenses had mounted high
er than his income and that attempts
to rccoup by specuiations had failed.

Expose of Bug havoc.

Brookings.-Insect pests destroy
S15,0 ,00e worth of South Dakota
crops every years, approximately a 10
per cent tribute from the farmers OF
the state. This Is more than the
wealth produced by the dairy indus
try. This expose of bug depredations
was made by President E. C. Perisho
of State college, who asserts that any
successful effort to reduce the loss
is highly important. especially since
entomoligi5ts estimate that 95 per
cent of the waste may be prevented.
The entomology department of the
State college concerns itself particu-
larry with this problem. Antibug prop
uganda is carried on by special dem.
o~nstrations in the fields, by horticul-
tural inspection work, by research and
experimental work, by correspondence
with the hundreds Of farmers who
write in for special information and
by giving instruction to the college
students who spread the information
they receive at the college in an ever
widening circle. In 1916 1920 letters
were sent by the department i an
swer to farmer inquiries pertaining to
insect and rodent control. The teach
ers in South Dakota school are looking
to the entomology department in
greater numbers every year for assist.
ance in nature study work.

Made His own Coffin.

Washington Springs,-During the
early stages Of his lingering illness,
Joseph Collier of his place was told
by the doctor that his life was mum
bered by weeks. Thereupon Collier
collected a number of three-inch

then instructed a neighbor to lay him
out and at once place him in his crude
coffin and nail the top on with the
heavy spikes he had obtained for
that purpose. People will not come

said, land they shall not look upon me

The fifteenth legislative assembly
for South Dakota closed its sessions at
Ills O'Clock last Friday night.
Both houses cleared their calendars
of bills for final action soon after
the noon recess. but with nothing spe-
cial to do for the day, there was no
hurry to concur in the various amend
ments which had been made by one
house or the other on various bills.
The main issue between the two
houses was the apportionment bill
which the senate had tackled on to the
/. w. W. bill as an amendment. Sever
al conference committees were APP
pointed on this bill and each brought
back a report which the house would
not accept, and it hung fire until the
night session before it was finally dis
posed Of, and the members from west
OF the river, who were making the
grand kick over it's features, were
finally %subdued.
The only appropriation bill left over
for action was the highway appropria-
ton for a quarter of a million dollars,
which was authorized by a vote of the
people at the last election. 1t went
through without any opposition. The
appropriation of $4,000 for extension
and improvements on the state
grounds, which had developed consid-
cradle opposition, was smoothed over
and went through without any opposi-
tion except a few negative votes.

Has Broad Powers.

The state sheriff bill, which has
passed both houses, places, as amend
ed, the powers OF enforcement of all
laws upon such officer and his depu-
ties, the deputies being the sheriffs
of the counties along with three spe-
cial agents who are authorized under
the bill. The amendments make him
a state humane officer as we'll as a
state sheriff, and the executive Off
GERS Of the fire marshal department,
the inspector of food and drugs, and
dairy experts are required by law to
report to the state sheriff any VIOLA
lions of the criminal laws of the state
which come to their notice.
The bill which passed the House as
an emergency measure, abolishes the
office of state prohibition commission
er, and places all the duties of that
official upon the state sheriff.
All county sheriffs and deputies are
made a state ~constabulary, under sup
ervision of the state sheriff, and are
subject to call to any part of the
state in case of their need for carrying
out the enforcement of law, and are
entitled to five dollars a day and eX-
penses while out of their counties on
such duty.

Work of the Session.

, The farmer movement has been
dominant all through the session, and
whatever the farmers wanted they got
in every instance, as they had control
and could have forced their desires if
anyone had suggested opposition,
The legislation along the lines they
desire covers a wide range, includ-
ing rural credits, by which the man
who desires to begin farming with a
small capital may purchase land on
long time payments; created a bureau
Of state market commissioners; ex-
tended the powers Of the farmers or
CARNATIONS in employment of county
agents and gave liberal appropriations
to the state agricultural college in the
way of live stock features, giving them
a stock judging pavilion and appro-
priations to engage in the raising Of
blooded stock, and stock feeding, be-
side creating a poultry department,
and beside this made provisions for
the erection of stock Judging pa
vilions at Mitchell and Belle Fourche
for local organizations.
The highway issue is taken care of
in an appropriation of a quarter of a
million dollars to meet a like amount
from the federal government and their
organization of the state highway
commission to look after highway i'm
provements, and giving counties pow
err to bond to construct hard surface
highways.
For the benfiet of the laboring peo-
pie of the state the members passed
the workmen's compensation act, and
along with it acts fixing a standard
form of policy for such insurance, and
providing for a standard reserve Of

are the general irrigation code, allow
ing groups of farmers to organize and
issue securities based on their land
holdings t secure funds for. storage

Of state sheriff, who is given wide
powers in looking after violations of
the criminal laws in all parts of the
state and who has supervision of all
