UP AGAINST IT
MANY AUTO OWNERS HAVE NO
LICENSE PLATES.

Pierre, May "A good many au-
tomobile dealers in South Dakota are
up against law violation because they
have no tags for their autos. 1t is
hoped. but is as yet uncertain, that
the difficulty will soon be adjusted.
The trouble lies in the fact that the
automobile department cannot Sc
cure the tags from the manufactur-
ers, for lack of materials, etc. Also
the number of autos registered in
South Dakota so far this year ex-
ceeds 10000 and this is more than
the entire number registered all OF
last year. But the increase was an
ticipated. and orders have been in
for numbers for a long time-and
are being filled as rapidly as the
manufacturers can turn out the tags.
The last consignment came in late in
April, bringing about 1000 tags, but
this supply was sent out in a couple
of days. There are now about 5000
owners waiting for tags, in this state.
Other states are having the same diff
siculty.

APRIL A BIG MONTH AT THE ABB
ERDEEN RECRUITING
STATION.

Aberdeen, May 2.-The Dakotas,
recruiting for the army wound up
the month with a crash when the
Irvine states came past the mark OF
BAL men sent last month and mount
ed to a new figure of 375 recruits
for the month of April, the record
since the declaration OF war except
for the one month of December,
l1917.
Lieut.. Anshelm returned from
Pierre and Lead, bringing with him
a goodly bunch of recruits, and when
he arrived at the local station he
found waiting for him 35 recruits,
bringing the total to close to 375
men for the month, exceeding by 35
last months record and establishing
a new record for the local %headquar-
ters.
The number of men accepted this
month for service in the army is
larger than for any other month
since the war began, owe a year ago,
with the single exception of Deem
Der, 1917, when there was a rush of
drafted men to the colOrs before en-
listment of draftees ceased.
When it is remembered that dur
ing the last month more men were
enlisted than during any month last
summer. when drafted men could
enter the army, the stations record
is N to be proud of and one that
will compare favorably with that of
any other recruiting district in the
nation.
Lieut.. Anshelm will begin at once
an intensive campaign for men for
the month of May, in order to keep
up the high standard which the Da-
kota5 have established in the past
year.

BIRDS NOT HARMFUL
GAME, AQUATIC AS WELL AS RA-
PACIOUS SPECIES, WORK IN
BEHALF OF THE FARMERS.

Sioux Falls, May A brief in
lefense of some game,
aquatic and %rapacious birds has been
prepared by specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
The specialists set cut to prove that
many so called harmful species of
birds in these classes are not only
guiltless of many crimes of which
they are commonly accused, but that
they are n of the greatest agencies
IN the control of insect pests, and
that many a disastrous outbreak of
such crop destroyers as chinch bugs,
grasshoppers. and May beetles have
been prevented by the work of the
birds in behalf of the farmer. That
The truth about their beneficial value
may become widely known the spe-
c~ialists have issued a publication,
Farmers Bulletin 497, some COM
mon game, aquatic and rapacious
oirds in relation to man, which dis
cusses 10 species including five kinds
of hawks and owls.
Inc horned greDa, commonly
charged with living entirely upon
fish. is cleared by the specialists.
Greba is shown to feed largely on
crawfish, other c~rustaceans and in
sects. Terms also have been held re-
sponsible for serious reduction of
food fishes in some localities, but a
careful study of their food habits has
shown that only a small proportion
Of their diet consists of such fishes.
All the shorebirds are s~trikingly
beneficial in their food habits, the
bulletin says. The slaughter of these
game birds deprives the farmer of
valuable allies against some Of the
worst crop pests. Such game birds
as quail, grouse and pheasant take
less insect food than the shorehii DIS,
yet all of them do a certain amount
of good. Even hawks and owls have
a bad name which for the most part
is undeserved. it is said, and indis-
criminate persecution Of these birds
is a serious mistake.

CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
BEST In THIRTY YEARS." AC,
CORDING no REPORT FROM
MITCHELL.

Aberdeen, May veteran farm
ers In various parts of the Dakotas
seemingly are agreed that the pres
ant season is similar to the spring OF
1S92-the year in which South Da-
kota produced the greatest crops In
it's history.
Increased acreage, generous and
we'll distributed moisture, scientific
methods and good luck apparently
are combining to give the nation a
fine war crop from this section OF
the country.
This year. the same as in 1892,
rain set in after the wheat crop was
planted. A large oats crop also was
planted. but the barley crop has only
partly been sown. Farmers prefer
to wait until the danger from frost
has passed before putting in all of
their barley.
Estimates from various sources in
dictate that the increased acreage
Gown to wheat in northern South Da-
kota is from 10 to 20 per cent. Var
ious counties reporting in other dis
tricts bear out the belief that crop
conditions are about the same from
Minnesota to Montana.
A report from Mitchell declares
that the crop outlook for South Da-
kota is the best in 80 years"

City Mills
Buy Capital City Mills

The building committee of the city
council took a look yer the site Of
the Capital City mill and the proposed
paving to be done on Church street. by
the mill owners.
At a recent meeting of the city eOun-
ell the Cherry City Mills were given
permission to move the mill to a site
adjoining the Capital City Mills. A
short time ago the Cherry City mill
owners bought the Capital City Mill
and it is their plan to unite the two
mills.
AS the paving on Church street did
not connect with ihe mill property the
council gave permission to the mill to
do some additional paving. After the
