a Blunt young man, had deliberately
failed to appear when summoned to
the colors in the June draf:, but it
now develops that his failure to ap-
pear at the proper time was through
no fault OF his. The official notice
sent him at Welsey, where he had
been working some time, failed to
reach him in time for him to go with
the other contingents in the June

Funston to join the other June draft

brought by the state food and drug
department against one offendsr. A

costs has been paid by this company
in Aberdeen as the result Of actions
brought by Commissioner Frary and
Inspector Runbeck and Jones because
of violations of the state oil ;nspec-

The Jonah family of South Dakota
is that of which the 19-year-old Grant
boy, who hanged himself in a barn
near Belle Fourche few days ago, is
member. The suicide is believed
to have been the result of lovers
quarrel. Following the quarrel he en-
listed in the army, and apparently re-
GREETED this hasty action when he
found his sweetheart was willing to
kiss and make up. The Grant family
has had an extraordinary series of
tragedies. About IL years ago, while
they lived on ranch the father was
killed by lightning. Several years ago
son was drowned in the Belle
Ftourche river and now the second son
is suicide. There is one son still
alive.
The rural credits board, while in
session in Pierre, approved loans for
about 100000 from the applications
on file for their section. The commits
sion has already loaned nearly $4,000
900 to the farmers of South Dakota
at low interest rate. And this means
to farmers, as no loans will be made
except where the party securing the
loan is actually engaged in farming
and improving the land. So far over
1900 applications for state loans have
been made, these coming from prac-
tically every county in the state.
August 10 has been fixed as the
date by the city commissioners for

man language in telephone conserva-
ton, except in emergency cases. Con-
versation in the German language by
three or more persons is also forbid
den in public or semi-public Places
including streets, trains, depots, no.
tells and places of business. Be-
tween SO and 60 requests from Ger
man church congregations had been
received, asking permission to use the
language in religious services. Per-
mits were refused, as it is believed
the greater number of these congre-
cations are able to use English. How
ever, the matter was placed in the
hands of the executive committee.
