The STATE PEN
INMATES DOING REAL WAR
WORK AT FARMING.

Sioux Falls, June 13.-Tractors
may soon supplant mules for motive
power at the South Dakota p~eniten-
tiary, according to DIR. G.. C. Red
field, the warden. DR.. Redfield is
seriously considering the possibility
of adopting the modern method OF
farming, for farm work at the peni-
Tertiary is a big feature and the pris-
oners are doing their bit in this way
as we'll as by other work.
Should the change from mules to
tractors be made. only n machine
would be used until the experiment
proves a success. says DR.. Redfield.
They have 16 of the four footed an
imals In use now and il the new
power were entirely adopted. 1t
would require some careful checking
up of cost first in comparison with
the work now performed by the
beast.
DR.. Redfield also takes pride In
the production of food at the peni-
Tertiary which his boys" are handl-
ing. Just now they have IT'S acres
in small grain. 800 acres in corn. SO
acres OF potatoes, with $50 head OF
hogs and 35 pure bred Holstein cows,
| With some Of his charges out in the
Black Hills on road work and others
in the binder factory. DR.. Redfield
feels that the South Dakota peniten-
tiary is an important factor in the
industrial life OF South Dakota and
that the men who live there are tax.
ing their part in the war just as sub
stantially as though they were II

FATAL HIGH dive
VIM. HAHN, OF SIOUX FALLS,
MEETS DEATH WHILE
BATHING.

Sioux Falls, June 13.-Bathers
and onlookers at Sherman park early
last evening we're shocked to witness
the sudden death of William Hahn,
aged 81, a well known young man
who was n of their number. Div
ing from the top of the platform into
six feet of water, he struck his head
on a stone pillar and broke his neck.
The accident occurred about 1880,
just when the beach was thronged
with pleasure seekers. The youth
assembled the platform some Is feet
in the air. flipped himself gracefully
toward the water and disappeared.
Not over two minutes later Otis
Buxton, guard at the beach, realized
that Hahn had not come up and Owed
for the body. When he brought 1t
to the surface. Hahn was apparently
without breath.
Chief Sloan, of the fire depart
ment, was summoned with the pull
motor and three doctors were quick
ly on the scene and although every
artificial means OF restoring ANNA
ton were resorted to. they were un-
availing.
This is the second accidental death
in the Hahn family in the past few
years. Young Hahn's father, A. G
Hahn, a well known sportsman, was
found sitting in the dining Don Of
his home some years ago, beside {
gun he had been cleaning when i
was accidentally discharged, the bull
let from which entered his head.

Good Showing.

OF the 3, 0S2, 949 persons called under
the selective-seruice act. 252, 294, or
SIS percent, failed to appear for ex-
animation, according to statement
issued by the Provost Marshall Gen
eral. This number, however, included
men who had previously enlisted or
been commissioned and had failed to
notify their boards, some who had
died. and many who were transferred
to other boards but by mistake had
been carried on the books of their
local boards estimated at 5000.
Many of the remaining $50, 900 were
aliens, number of whom left the
country to enlist in their own armies.
The statement estimates the number
of real ''Slacklers" at not more than
$4,000, or an average Of less than 10
for each local board.

Appeal TO Farmers.

Labor is scarce. You cannot take
millions of the best workers out of
productive labor and turn them into
soldiers and sailors, without making
labor scarce. You cannot take other
millions Of men and women out Of
their peace-time jobs and set them to
making munitians, without making
labor Scarcer still.
YBut scarce or not, if this country,
it's soldiers and it's allies are to be fed
in short, if we are to stand any chance
Of winning there must be labor on
the farms. Other places where there
must be labor are such places as the
munition factories, the coal mines,
the ship yards, the steel mills, the
cotton and wool factories and the shoe
factories. What labor there is must
be used where it will do the most good.
The country has a right to demand
this. You have right to demand
this. If it cannot be done, we can
not win the war.
:: If, as we are urged in the thrift
campaign, people buy nothing they
can possibly do without, labor now
used in the production of many things
will be released for the essential bust
nesses, including farming. We need
to keep money circulating in the right
channels.It should be spent for such
things as Liberty bonds, the Red
Cross, or the means of producing food
and other necessarieS.
