TO The SCHOOLS
ALL FINES GO INTO STATE
SCHOOL FUNDS.

Pierre, July 25.-An opinion re-
recently rendered by the attorney
general means that the South Dakota
p~rohibitory law not only cuts out the
saloon business but helps to build up
the schools. While there are few
cases OF bringing in liquor, where
such a case is found the cost to the
violators is such that they will not
soon forget it. The holding of the
attorney general is that after the ex-
pense Of such case is taken out. all

rectly into the school fund of the
state. This means that there will be
a good sized fund due to the school
fund In counties where there have
been convictions the past year. and
the money turned into the general
fund instead of the school fund. The
opinion also calls attention to the

ed yesterdays shipment while a car
load of hands is now on it's way from
Kansas City to Aberdeen and Red
field.
Harvest hands sem by the gov
eminent today are not of the old /.
w. w. or BIO class" said Mr.. Powles-
land. They are men who have seer
or heard the governments call for
help on the farms and they are an
swering. Most of the men we get are
fellows who drew SIS and Sc per day
in the cities and are doing temporary
work on the farms now purely from
patriotism. 1t is a financial sacrifice
to them because they pay their own
way around the country. Some of
these boys came from southern cities,
some from st. Louis, Chicago, Kan
sas City, etc, out of the packing
plants and are huskies. The /. w.

now in the army. 1t is therefore up
to the farmers to take them now and
not wait until they have had to go
elsewhere.

EFFECT ON GERMANY

DUSTRIAL WAR IN
GERMANY.

Paris, July 25.-Should the Allied
Pdrive on the western front result In
substantial gains for the entente, the
now dormant struggle between the
military leaders and industrial mag.
mates of Germany will blaze forth
again.
The big business men of Germany
whose futures depend upon their
overseas trade, have been clamorine
for the cessation of the U-boat war
fare, and would welcome a peace al
fany price.
Their early protests, however,
went by the board, as the junkers
persuaded the kaiser that the U-boat
war plus the western campaigns
would break the Allies and have them
entreating for peace.
With the U-boat campaign a fail
ure, they again tried to GUST the
military leaders from the nations
councils. But the collapse Of the
Russian empire gave the junkers an

They placed the exploitation of Rus
STA before their captains of industry,
provided they left them to continue
their offensives on the west front
with their armies reinforced from
the eastern front. They fell for the
bait and then began their u~nsuccess-
full campaign to exploit the resources
of Russia, while the militarists plan
ned their campaigns in the west.
The seemingly successful ad-
vances of the first thrusts of the
German army brought rejoicing ev-
e~rywhere. but their more recent de.
feats and the unsuccessful trade
campaigns in Russia brought the foes
of the military leaders to their feet
again.
The present offensive, then. may
well be the cause of the disruption
Of the two great parties in Germany.

PRACTICE OF MEDICINE GUESS
WORK.

1t has been said that the practice
of medicine at best is simply a game
of guesswork, because the action of
drugs varies to a great degree upon
different individuals; but when a
medicine has lived for 40 years, con-
stantly growing In sales ond popular
ity there can be no greater proof of
its merit. Such a medicine is Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
that famous old root and herb rem
edy, now recognized from shore to
shore as the standard remedy for fe-
male ills.

fact that every fine levied In the state
belongs to the state school fund by
virtue of the constitutional provision,

funds is not legally SO paid. A de-
mand upon some municipalities of
the state for all the money paid into
their general funds as fines for the
past 20 years as a part of the state
school fund, where it rightly belongs

Market Marked Time
Awaiting Developments

New York, May 3l.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The market in the New York stock
Exchange today was quiet and rela-
lively restricted and narrow, with an
easy tone and with declines at times
registering losses of one to 2 5-s points
from Wednesdays final. The rail
Istocks, especially the low priced ones,
held up better than the industrials,
but the declines were in no way COM
Imensurate with superficial view OF
the war and tax news.
1t could be said fairly that the mar
ket marked time and exhibited r0 well
defined trend.
The opening was irregular and there
were quick declines in the first hour
with a rally shortly thereafter which
left prices from fraction to IL
points. below Wednesdays final at
the end of the first hour. There was
q preponderance Of selling in the
next two hours and at / clock active
issues were off from l is to "a
points. The only important exceptions
were American Sumatra and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, which at that time
showed gains of IA and one point re-
spectively.
The late trading was featured by a
sharp rise in the marine issues which
led the market with AN advancing
movement. Trading, however, on the
other hand, continued DUH.
