PRODUCTION-COLBY

CHICAGO, Feb, S.-Ravagcs of Ger
man submarines are beyond our com
prehcnsion During n single month they
destroyed as much oCeau-goug tonnage
AS the United States turned out in one
year prior to the war
This statement was made before the
lroquois Club by Banhridgc Colby. of
New York, member OF the United States
shipping board. He suggested more
ships as the weapon to combat the sub
marine. which h" termed Il devils
weapon welded by a DEVILS crew"
Although the increased efficiency of
the destroyer patrol since Americas en-
trance into the war has checked the sub.
marine ravages somewhat, it is not an
eNaggeration to say that it probably
will destroy in the present year as much
tonnage as. England and America to-
gether can build and launch" he added

eral land bank loans sufficient to
cover the making of final proofs. and
that upon receipt from the United
States district land office of a receipt
showing that this amount had been
paid, the balance of the approved
loan would then be made by the fed
eral land bank on the land.
In the past the land bank has re-
fused to make full payment OF APP
proved loans until patents (titles)
had been secured, but as it generally
takes six months after the money is
paid OF final proofs before patent is
issued. a hardship had been worked
on the homesteaders. The concession
made by the federal land bank at
Omaha will be of material benefit to
numerous homesteaders in western
and northwestern South Dakota this
year, as all are preparing to put in
every available acre to crop and run
live stock on the balance OF their
lands.

STATE TRYING TO PRESERVE
MILWAUKEE LAKE FOR
BREEDING PURPOSES.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Is the
water of Milwaukee lake, nea Went
worth, more useful for breeding wild
fowl or agricultural purposes? The
state game and fish department con
tends the former and the commits
think the water should be utilized for
drainage purposes on farm lands.
The circuit court at Flandreau will
decide the case.
Some time & the county commits
sioners attempted to install a drain
age system which would dry up the
lake. Game Warden Hedrick object
ed IN the ground that it was the
breeding spot for thousands of ducks
and other wild fowl and a pleasure
resort for fishing. Attorney General
Caldwell then applied to Judge Flee
ger to secure an order restraining
the commissioners, but he denied it.
The states attorneys of the two coun-
ties affected filed a demurrer to the
states complaint and Judge Fleeger
heard it Friday at Flandreau, the
state being represented by Assistant
Attorney General Winans.
The court overruled the demurrer
and gave the defendants Is days in
which to answer and the 81 will
now go to trial.
The lake In question is one mile
wide and three miles long.

SUPERIOR QUALITY
BLACK HILLS BEANS COMING
INTO USE.

Rapid City, Feb. ACCORDING to
State Deputy Pure Food Inspector
William Cox, Black Hills alfalfa seed
is not the only big product of the
Black Hills section. he says that
people in the eastern part of South
Dakota on the territory in which he
travels have forsaken the Michigan
bean for the navy beans that are pro-
duced in the Black Hills.
People over in the eastern part of
the state" says Mr.. Cox, have this
year become acquainted with this
bean and are almost unanimous in
demanding it when buying of their
local dealers. The bean is a larger
navy bean than the smaller Michigan
bean and is every bit as sweet and
tasty as its smaller relative. Down
at Norfolk, Neb., the canning COM
pany is putting up many of these
beans this year. I am told, and say
that they can as well as do the small
er beans"

after the will was executed the widow
died and no sooner was the estate
