IS KILLED IN RAIL WRECK,
O2 Charred Bodies Recovered-S25,.
900 in Cash Lost,

Gary, Indiana, June 23.-SiXty-two
bodies of Hagenbeck- Wallace circus
employees who were killed in the
wreck six miles west of here on the
Michigan Central railroad early Sat
urday lay in temporary morgues here
and at Hammond tonight, while cir
Gus employees made frantic efforts to
compile an accurate list Of dead and
injured. Only "a OF the bodies had
been identified. Most Of the others
were charred and mangled beyond
recognition.
Edward NJ. Ballard, general mana
ger Of the circus, tonight issued q
statement saying figures compiled in
dicated probably S5 persons had been
killed. He said hasty tabulation of
scattered employees showed 60 miss

dead. Most of the missing were said
to be razor BACKS" many of them
negroes. f. S. Whipple, railroad
trainmaster, also has been given up
as dead.
Parts OF two bodies cremated in the
furnace of tangled steel and timbers
which was the circus train were dug
out tonight. The authorities said
If the death list is as great as esti-
mated by circus men the additional
bodies probably were reduced to
ashes.
An inquest will be held at Ham
mond tomorrow and Gustave Klauss,
fireman Of the troop train of empty
Pullmans, has been ordered brought
to Hammond to testify.

Neither man was injured.
New York and Chicago theatrical
men and officers Of the Showmens s

TROOP SHIP SENT no BOTTOM.
No Troops Aboaltl-87 Membere of
tho Crew Missing.

Washington, June 24.-German
submarines operating on this side Of
the Atlantic have sunk their first
troop ship. The Navy Department
announced to-day that British
transport, under charter by the
American government, and bound to
this country, had been destroyed on
June IS, some 700 miles east of the
Delaware Capes, and that 67 men,
DerS OF the crew are missing. There
were no troops aboard.
The troop ship apparently was not
under convoy. The submarine was
not seen until a torpedo had struck
the ship. Afterward the submersible
arose 10 the surface and fired nine
teen shots into the sinking vessel.
When the steamer settled the crew
took to the boats, the occupants Of
four of which, numbering 81 men,
have been landed. Three boats are
missing and search Is being made
for them.
Far Off Coast.
The fact that the British vessel was
sunk far off the coast led officials to
believe she either had encountered a
home-bound submarine that had
been operating in American waters
or else one that was bound here for
further raids on shipping.
The last sinkings reported off the
coast occurred some 80 miles east Of
the Virginia capes, and it was argued
that IN the four days elapsing before
the British transport was sent down
the submarine would have had ample
time to reach the position where
the troop ship was sunk.
Formerly Russian.
The vessel destroyed was said to
have been the former Russian
steamer Dvinsk, but the navy was
not permitted to make the name
public under an agreement with the
British admiralty. The Dvinsk is
understood to have been in British
service and chartered to the United
States to expedite the movement of
American troops to France.
Of the four boats from the steamer
accounted for two were found by a
steamer and their occupants taken to
New York, third was picked up by
another steamer and the men taken
to Hampton Roads, and the fourth
by sailing vessel, which landed the
crew at Bermuda.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that Is by a
constitutional, remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube Is
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing land when it is
entirely closed, deafness Is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an in1lamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of catarrhal deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

boys are safeguarded. If away from
home, some leisure time activities
must be provided to keep the boy
cheerfully at work and constant eff
fort made to make the boy feel he is
rendering a real patriotic service.
The success of the United States
Boys Working Reserve to date has
been largely due to the splendid work
done by various agencies which have
co-operated to see that the boys well
fare was looked after.
Director Hall, early in the forma-
ton of the Reserve, sought the CO.
operation Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association for help, as the
agency best fitted by experience and
in scope of organization for this i'm
portant task of looking after the boys.
The International Committee Of the
Y. NJ. c. A., through it's Boys Divi-
sion, gave counsel and advice. On
March l, the committee secured the
services of J. A. Van Dis, an expert
enced and well known Y. NJ. c. A.
Boys Work Secretary, to give his full
time to the Reserve as Associate Di-
rector, seeking the cooperation Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. and all other agencies
to assist in the work Of supervision,
inspection and leisure time program.
Today hundreds of the y. M. c. A..
secretaries in all parts of the country
are cooperating, and fully forty state
Y. M. C. A. committees are either
giving the services of an additional
to their staff or the time of one
of their present staff. They are doing
for these young patriots in a some
what similar way what the Y. NJ. c..
A. Red Triangle has and is so sue
cessfully doing for the boys in the
trenches and camps.

Plenty of silos would take are of all

value to one-third of the corn plant.
There is enough human food repre-

soldier a whole year. The farmer who
manages to save about 40 acres of
corn fodder which formerly were
plowed under, or burned, is providing
food for 40 soldiers for a whole year"
Professor Larsen calls attention to
the fact that although the expense Of
building a silo has increased since the
began, nevertheless there never
was a time when an acre of crops,
when a pig, when a steer, when the
product from one COW will buy as
much of a silo as now. Farm produce
is bringing high prices. II is patri-
otto to use some of the greater in

1t means the conservation of food. In
addition to this a silo built now will
be of service for years after the war
is over; and the silo means a better
of permanent farming.

TO SAVE SWINE

South Dakota's loss from parasites
in swine amounts to thousands of dol
lars each year in deaths, runts and
unhealthy hogs. This loss can be
saved to the state since both internal
and external parasites of swine can
be prevented. If prevention fails
there are many satisfactory cures.
The control Of parasites will largely
determine whether South Dakota will
ultimately deliver to the government

the 10 per cent increase in swine.
South Dakota has more than the 10
per cent increase in number, but this
does not mean that she will have a 10
per cen increase in total pounds Of
pork. The common parasites in
swine is the one big obstacle that will
prevent this increase. Methods of
prevention and cures for parasites are
all explained in detail in Extension

Swine issued by the Extension Divi-
sion, South Dakota State College,

SCHOOL,, CLOTHES AND
PATRIOTISM

What shall our children wear to
school?
Recently, a lady was heard to ask,
us it true that the Parent-Teacher
Association has ruled that school boys
shall wear overalls to school, The
Parent-Teacher Association has no
authority to rule any such thing.
They may recommend, but not rule.
1t is pertinent to ask, Are the pat
ents of school children alive to the
necessity Of conservation in clothes?
Our soldiers must have wool. The
that our boys yea over
alls to school is a patriotic sugges-
tion at this time, for old clothes may
be worn under overalls for warmth
that would not be considered fit to
in the school room uncovered
If o~veralls became fashionable for
school boys, undoubtedly wool would
be saved and money would be avail
able for investing in War Savings
Stamps. And what about our girls?
A simple, MILDLY costume made Of
serviceable material would cost less
and outwear the usual school dress.
These are unusual times calling for
thought. Let us stop, think,
and "let us reason together" as tC
how our school children, in this I'M
usual time, may be sensibly and pa
t%riotically clothed. Contributed.
