ANOTHER SOAKING RAIN

Wednesday morning about three
o'clock it set in raining after threaten
ing for several days, and it continued
raining practically all of Wednesday
with the result that the ground is
now thoroughly soaked to consider
able depth. In all about 2.l3 inches
of precipitation fell, which caused all
the draws, slews and creeks to become
living streams, and all the holes on
the prairies are now full of water and
the dams are also full, assuring ou
stockmen an ample water supply fol
their stock this fall and winter. Pas
lures will be good now until the snow
covers them. A record breaking corn
crop for this county is now an assured
fact, barring only an early frost. A
good deal of the corn is now just com
ing into roasting ear, and this rain
will finish making this crop. The
ground is also in prime condition now
for seedingfaIl wheat and rye, and
from what we can learn from our
farmers, Mellette county, especially
the east half, will have the largest
acreage of fall wheat and rye this sea
sou that was ever sown shere, The
crop prospects in this section of the
county certainly are bright, and as q
consequence we look for a consider
able activity in Mellette county land
during the coming fall and winter,
with a prospect of good raise IN
LAID values. With $2 wheat, l!c
hogs and fat steers bringing $l25 OF
better Oh foot, the industrious Mel
ette county farmer certainly should
not have much to worry about, and il
he will but apply himself and make
his acres produce to their full capacity
he cannot help but prosper, Truly
we are living in most wonderful age
in country second to none on earth,
whose natural resources and oppol
tunities make it possible ior the most
humble to accumulate enough wealth
30 that in few years he may be able
to dwell in comfort and ease, if he
| will but spply himself to the task
And we baye room here for thousands
OF the right class of people, if they
will but come and dwell with us and
help to make this country the Creates

My Dear Father
AS usual it is raining How l wish
we could have had some of this rain
at home, especially during those dry
years. / am hoping that our crops
will have enough moisture this year.
l wrote. to ma last night, in fact l
have sent several letters home in the
last few days so some ought to reach
you.
On our trip yesterday saw quite
bit of country life and crops. The
fielis are all very small and all shapes
triangles, parallelograms, etc. saw
as many as eight people work with
one small one horse hay rack. 1t is
evident that manual labor is far more
plentiful than in our country. These
people never will know what a real
free life is. How thankful / am that
You brought us up in the west. l am
sure there Is no place like the great
prairies for me,
The land is a kind of clay and
some Of it Is badly worn. l saw one
field of oats that was headed and will
not make ten bushels to the acre,
simply because Of the worn out con-
dition OF the land. This entire coun-
try is covered more or less with trees
and therefore Is beautiful to look upon
/ hope that our mail will soon arrive

FOURTH LOAN CAMPAIGN
TO START SEPTEMBER 28
Drive Will Continue Three Weeks
Ending on Saturday, Oc-
tober 10.
OPPORTUNITY TO pREPARE
Formal Announcement Will BE Made
This Week in Order That Business
Interests, and Workers May Have
Chance To Arrange Affairs.

WASHINGTON. July 24.-The treas
ury has virtually decided to hold the
fourth Liberty loan campaign in the
three weeks period between Saturday.
September IS. and Saturday. October 30.
An announcement is expected this
week in order TO permit liberty loan
workers and business interests TO ar
range for the campaign.
The length of the drive will be re-
duced from the usual four weeks. with
the hope of avoiding the usual slump
of interest in the middle of the cam
paiGn.
Reasons prompting officials TO choose
these dates included the fact that farm
ers during October probably can make
liberal subscriptions from harvest pro-
ceeds, and that il was desirable to end
the campaign week or two before the
November elections.

SIXTY POUNDS OF SUGAR
SERVED 5000 PERSONS
Interesting Experiment Conducted in
Cafeteria That Feeds Uncle
Sans Workers.
ALLIES NEED VERY MUCH MORE
Indications Point to Soft Drink
Makers Being Compelled to Use
Saccharin or Corn Sirup in Event
Shortage Increases.

WASHINGTON. July e4.-Looking
untary sugar rations of the country
the cafeteria OF the food administra-
tion. where the small army Of the de-
partments employees eat, has been ex-
perimenting.
Sugar now is tn. only article OF
staple diet on which the allies are
seriously short. Food Administrator
| Hoover. in his negotiations with the
food administrators OF Europe now, is
pledging them increased supplies from,
America.
Stocks of both raw and refined sugar
IN America arc only half what they
were this time last year. Stocks in
Cuba, Hawaii and Porto Rico are about
100000 tons in excess of last year. but
shortage of shipping has interfered
with their movement
England now is on ration abou,
nall the American voluntary figure.
while Italy and France are getting
along on about one-third.
There is no proposition for a com
pulsory ration. with sugar cards, as
yet. but American patriotism is TO be
appealed to-
The experiments in the food admin :
istration cafeteria showed that 5000
persons were served with the use of
only sixty pounds OF sugar. This is at
the rate OF one pound to I2O meals.
The American ration was fixed at three
| pounds n month. or one pound for
thirty meals.
If the American ration should be re-
duced one-third TO two pounds a month.
II would still be one pound for each
foriy-fve meals. or If cut in half TO
one and one-half pounds. it would be
| one pound to sixty meals.
Any reduction in the sugar ration
probably would be accompanied by an
entire new sugar schedule, much fur
,her reducing the ALLEGATION of sugar to
the soft-drink industries. which now
are operating on n so per cent basis
/ If the sugar situation should become
critical. they might be denied all sugar
supplies and forced to use saccharin or
corn sirups.
The food administrators cafeteria
mas been able to make its showing by
the use of such substitutes as honey.
maple sirup. corn sirup and white sirup.
and the use of sugar is confined almost
entirely to tea and coffee.
