TO PAY nine CENTS
FOR HUSkING CORN
Farmers of Five Southeastern
South Dakota Counties In
Convention Agree on Price.

Centervile. S. D., Sept. 13.-At a
meeting here yesterday afternoon OF
representative farmers from fankton,
Clay, Union. Turner and Lincoln
counties elected by their counhes AT
previous township and county meet
tngs 1t was decided to recommend 10
all farmers the use of every possible
labor saving method known during the
coming corn husking season. In order
to facilitate the moving OF corn musk
ers into this territory, which mas a
big corn crop this season. 1t was oe-
cided to offer a good stiff wage for
husking.
The labor saving devices that were
recommended at the meeting were:
The hogging down of corn and the use
OF the corn husking machine, OF which
fully 200 have been obtained Tor the
five counties represented. In order to
reduce the acreage to be husked as
much as possible it was agreed to urge
farmers to fiji their silos and to cut
as much az possible for fodder IN
order that 1t might be husked out dur
ing the winter. Many farmers in this
section are already hogging down their
corn and before the, season Is over
many thousands of acres will be har-
vested in this manner. 1T is expected
that an immense acreage VIII be cut
for winter husking and this will fur
ther decrease the amount Of labor that
is required.
The members at the convention felt
that 1t would be necessary to offer
a good stiff wage in order to induce
as many men as possible to help har
vest the crop. and for that reason
it was decided to recommend a wage
of cents per bushel when the corn
must be scooped and ! cent less whom
the farmer furnishes an elevator.
Since the corn crop in this section is
the best it has been for years. good
huskers will be able to make from
IS to $40 per day and board

"KULTUR" LIBEL
Is NAILED HERE
Propaganda Aims to Check
Recruiting for
Allies y,
NOTED ACE ITS VICTIM

German propaganda is making strenu-
Gus efforts to hinder British and French
recruiting in Philadelphia by injuring
the regulations OF men giving their
services to stimulate patriotism.
The latest lying attack of the "Kul-
tured" tongue has been directed at
noted French aviator who has many
friends in Philadelphia.
According to reports circulated in this
city the French flyer was on his way to
France yesterday under guard to stand
trial as a German spy.
The report came to the newspapers in
the usual way of such things. A we'll
known woman had heard it. 1t was
said to have been told confdentially at
a dinner Nat which responsible and even
eminent people were present. 1t was
said to have been verified by the naval
and military intelligence bureaus.
A reporter began an investigation. He
called upon the woman in question, who
admitted that an officer had said some-
thing like that. Wait. She would call
his home and verify.
Thirty minutes later the report was
almost Historically denied. 1t sounded
fishy. SO the reporter continued his in.
vestigation. His next point OF attack
was the brltlsh recruiting mission al
Sixteenth and Chestnut streets.
Colonel Steele. head Of the office, lis
tended to the tale with some concern.
German propaganda has been circu-
lated about two others besides the noted
French ace. 1t is an effort to discredit
the men who give their patriotic services
to the British recruiters in an effort to
help recruiting for them. We hear all
kinds Of reports about our people
The report about the Frenchman is
just like the others. They are all Ger
man spies, II you listen to the tongue
Of gossip. What I can't understand Is
how anybody could suspect such q man.
Wait. I'll call Major Dugmore."
Colonel Steele asked Major Dugmora
to come into the office. The story was
told to him. The major smiled and
shook his head.
oh he said. there have been all
kinds of reports. I've heard them.
There isn't anything to it."
