LEST WE FORGET OUR
WORLDS DEMOCRACY

According to press dispatch
es from Dewey, OK a mob of
more than five hundred white
people set fire to and burned
every Negro home. in a section
OF that city last Monday even
ing. Just how many persons
were burned alive could not
be learned. but sufficient to say
that a large number lost their
lives or perished in the flames,
Only one Negro home was
spared. that of an old woman.
Bad feelings had been brew
ing for several days. due TO
labor trouble aud strikes, are
said to be the principal cause
Of the trouble. but the direct
cause was precipitated when
a Negro, N d Widow. shot
The chief ofpollce and another
man, who attempted to arrest
Widow for disturbing the
peace.
Feeling against all Negroes
was high. and it is feared that
many innocent persons have
been murdered.

all been well pleased with the mer-
chandise purchased and realize they
have bought 1t at wonderfully low
figures. Mr.. Dahlberg states that
the reason for having such a uccess

good merchandise which Mrs. Knoeri
carries and the prices she is selling
IL for during this sale. The sale will

some other Wand and rushed out pell

IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Sioux Falls, Feb. I'll. o. Herb
randson, field agent OF the depart
ment of agriculture for South Da-
kota. has issued an interesting sum-
mary of the live stock situation in
South Dakota.
The summary shows that, contrary
to the general belief, the number of
horses In South Dakota has slightly
increased from the previous year, the
present number being 811 1000, of an
average value of sos per head. The
rurtailment of the war purchases has
somewhat tended to cause this in
crease. The natural farm require
ment for horses now is large and the
increases in values of all agricultural
products have affected the price OF
horses.
The summary further shows that
the number Of mich cows in South
Dakota shows a healthy increase,

$4,000 of these animals. The sum.

like some of the states, South Dakota

number of cattle within its boundary
Tremendously increased prices have
stimulated the live stock industry
and especially the n of live stock
has been improved. Large cattle
ranches are becoming fewer, but ar
increasing number of smaller lane
owners raise a few head more eacf

amounts to a large number in the

Sheep also show an increase in
South Dakota, the number now be
