WORLDS RECORD HOG

AS an indication Of where South
Dakota stands in the hog industry, the
following special from Lake Preston
is interesting. Mr.. Odegaard is well
known here, as he often shows at the
county fair.
IF Charles Odegaard had happened
to know when he sold a purebred
Chester White boar to Nebraska
breeders this week what the worlds
record price for a single hog was he
would have brought the worlds rec
ord to South Dakota by beating it
800. Odegaard sold the boar for &c.
600. The worlds record price for a
hog is $4,000. The Nebraska people
would have paid $4,000, Odegaard
says. Odegaard's hog is a huge, long,
massive boned brute said by the Ne
braska syndicate of breeders who
bought him to be the finest hog alive
today. Odegaard owns the mother of
the three-year old animal and knows
where the sire is, he said. He expects
to duplicate the animal he sold by the
same cross breeding.

way. in the belief that these writer's
near the scene know what they are
talking about:
"Today's news is not so good as
one could wish, but the following view
point is suggested: We are confront
ed by enormous concentration of men
and guns. The purpose Of the enemy
has been revealed as an operation at
tempting to separate the British and
French armies by rushing on the for
mer. General Foch, in closest agree
ment with Field Marshal Haig, is aim.
ing not only at arresting the enemy,
but at a counter-attack, which shall
defeat the Germans. Therefore, With
in certain limits the sound policy is
TO allow the Germans to spend their
surplus power as lavishly as possible
in order to reach the stage of eQuali-
ty or even inferiority. On the other
hand General Foch is endeavoring to
avoid the enemy obtaining a great
strategic advantage, simultaneously
placing a definite price on certain
places as worth so much and no more
in defending. Thus when the price
Of defending Boilleul was paid, Bail
leul was evacuated.
1t must be remembered that Gen
CTal ~Ludendorff has laid down all his
cards, while General Foch has not yet
shown his hand. General Foch's dis
positions inspire a degree of conf
dence which the situation in Fland-
ers seemingly does not justify. We
may rest assured that our own SUI
enemy and the map with intense Wig
lance"

ALL CAN HELP FARMER

The city man of South Dakota will
help his farmer friends produce max
imum cereal crop if he will immedi-
ately grub up the common barberry
bushes on his lawn. This bush is de-
cidedly pro-German. 1t helps spread
the black stem rust which did at least
$40, 000, 600 damage in the wheat
growing districts of Minnesota, Ne
braska and the Dakotas in 1916. 1t
is decidedly disloyal to allow the
common barberry bush to live-it must
be treated as a dangerous enemy alien.
Rust fungi, in one stage OF their ex-
istence, live on %barberry bushes and
later find their way to fields of oats,
barley, rye and wheat. Destroying
the bushes holds the rust in check,
as proved in Denmark and other coun-
tries that have legislated against the
barberry. This does not refer to the
Japanese barberry, which has a low
spreading growth of only two to four
feet, has small leaves, single thorns,
reddish brown bark and bears its ber-
ries one or two in a place. The Jap
anese variety is safe, The common,
and dangerous barberry, is upright,
four to eight feet, has s~aW-tOothed
leaves. branched thorns, grey bark
and bears it's berries in clusters like
currants. Dig it up.
A campaign looking toward the Grad
ication of the Common barberry is be
ing conducted in South Dakota by the
State college extension division and
the u. S. department of agriculture co
operating. Every town in the state,
every nursery, every public institution
and every citizen should take immedi-
ate steps to remove M dangerous fac.
tor in the way of a patriotic cereal
crop.

EPISCOPAL BISHOP COMING

The Right Reverend Hugh L. Burle-

patriotic war addresses and will no
doubt have a message along the vital
question of the hour for all that hear

THE RUDE RECITAL

Miss Evelyn Rude. soprano, APP
peared in her graduation recital Thurs
day evening at the college auditorium.
The program was quite heavy, includ-
ing five arias from operas and ora
torios and two groups of modern
songs.
The Handel aria was rendered in a
pleasing legato movement, but Miss
Rude found her most beautiful tones
in the delightful Verdi AVE Maria"
and the sustained style Of the Mas
senet Aria. Her higher register was
displayed to advantage in Woods is
land of Love" and the final group of
>ongs was particularly pleasing. This
group included two light numbers,
The Cali of the Woods by Bath,
when the Snowdrops Ring" by Lid
die, the effective Lehman Didn't you
Know, a delightful little song by Mr..
Hedge, Thee and Me-" and the more
brilliant Fierce was the Wild Billow."
The program also included a very
pleasing duet in which Miss Rude was
assisted by Mr.. Hedge.
Miss Rude is to be commended for
her splendid tonal quality as we'll as
for the artistic powers of interpreta-
ton at her command. Her work was
given a most pleasing setting by Miss
Marion Carlisle, accompanist, who is
displaying an unusual talent in this
field.

And here in this sombre, scared
part of France, the morale of u boys
has never been low. There is not a

of the boys is fine. One of the com

A company of infantry came swing

off on a hike. They were covered with
mud from cap to shoe. and they came
in singing their venerable battle
hymn:
The infantry, the infantry, with the
dirt behind their ears.
The infantry, the infantry, they can't
get any beers;
The cavalry, the artillery and the
bloomin' engineers,
Why, they couldn't lick the infantry
in a hundred thousand years.
And soon this troop of American

hope into the desolate places of
France is wrapped in the silences of
the night, unmindful of the dawning
Of a day not far distant when the very
