Several thousand people assembled
in Madison Saturday afternoon tc
hear the speakers who delivered eX.
cellent addresses on the Victory loan
and to view the demonstrations of
the strangely built and rapid movinc
war tank.
AT 4:45 p. m. a freight train from
the west pulled into the yards, bring
ing with it the chief attraction for
the days program. AS soon as UNI
loaded the tank, in charge of expert
enced men, started for Egan avenue
followed by a crowd of men and boys
who had eve before seen a ma
chine of such construction.
AT the Lake Park hotel the mu-
nicipal band preceded the tank and
marched TO the platform where the
addresses were to be given.
William Ryder, of the Federal Re-
serve bank. of Minneapolis, was first
introduced after the assemblage fol-
lowed the lead of Prof. r. II.
Kendrick in singing America" Mi.
Ryder spoke briefly yet ~forcefully
on the governments need of the peo-
pies billions, tracing the beginnings
of liberty as they appeared from
time to time in early European his
tory. He lauded our state for her
liberality in meeting prior loans and
mentioned his confidence that South
Dakota would again go over the top
in this, the Victory loan which opens
nationally on this very day.
Following Mr.. Ryder, III. N.
Holdridge introduced Lieut.. Furlow,
who served in the aerial service in
France along with the son of Theo-
dore Void, whose life was sacrificed

portrayed a hazardous attempt made
by the American esquadrille while
trying to take Photographic views
over the enemy lines. He appealed
for our support to the fifth loan and

Concluding the speaking the tank
proceeded to the creek north of the
Presbyterian church, where it de-
scended a steep decline, crossed the
stream and c%lambered clumsily YET

over depressions. finally making a

HOUSE BURGLARY
V. II. WADDEN'S HOME ENTERED
FRIDAY NIGHT.

V. r. Walden reports that his
home, 500 Second street, NV, was
entered by some unknown person
Friday night, but so far as has been
determined nothing of value vas
taken. The intruder entered by the
kitchen door and assembled the bach
stairway to the rooms above. AS he
passed Miss Retta Wadden's room,
the door of which was ajar, he
flashed a flashlight into the room,
which awakened Miss Walden, but
she was too frightened to make an
cutlery. The intruder passed along
the hall and down the front stairway
to the rooms below. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walden occupied rooms downstairs
but they were not disturbed. The
intruder returned to the upper rooms
and evidently passed down the back
stairs and out the way he came.
When the house became quiet Miss
Walden summoned courage to go to
her fathers room and inform him
of her experience. A search was
made, but the intruder was not
found. The hour was 2 a. m.

HIGHWAY EXPERT
LAW GOVERNING THE APPOINT.
MENT OF MEMBERS OF THE
COMMISSION.

Lead, April 21.-Friends through
out the Black Hills of Frank s. Peck,
who made a record as state highway
commissioner of South Dakota, have
been given something of a shock by
the announcement of Governor Nor
beck that under the provisions of the
highway law enacted by the recent
legislature Mr.. Peck will not be
eligible TO appointment to the new
board of state highway commission
ers to be named by authority of the
act.
The governor, in a communication
to the Lead Commercial club states
that the new law provides that mem
bers OF the commission must be APP
pointed from among men who were
not holding office at the time the
bill was enacted.
The Lead Commercial club and
other bodies of the Black Hills, and
individuals, had asked for
the appointment of Mr.. Peck as the
Black Hills member of the state

Pierre-Seeding all over the
northern part of the state is being
delayed by the weather conditions,
and possibly the acreage seeded to
this date is smaller than for many
years. One of the features of the
situation is the digging up of old
discarded broadcast seeders and
scattering the grain in that manner
instead of using the drill, which has
for a number of years supplanteC
the old broadcast method of putting
in the small grain crop. But all re,
ports show that the seeding will be
at least ten days later than usual
for the spring even with the mos
favorable weather in a large part OF
the state.

MITCHELL EXECUTIVE FAILS TO
ESCAPE ON A LEGAL
TECHNICALLY.

Mitchell, April 21.-The case
against Mayor j.. E. Wells, who is
charged with unlawfully giving away
whisky, will be tried in the circuit
court in spite of the efforts of his
counsel to have it dismissed. Wells
attorneys asked that the case be
thrown out because the defendant
had no preliminary examination un-
der the Information filed in circuit
court; because the defendant had
had no examination under any COM
plant that stated a cause of action
before any committing magistrate;
because the state attempted to prove
several separate and distinct of
lenses under the complaint that did
not specify a cause Of action and at
the close OF the testimony before the
committing magistrate refused to
elect as to which of said offenses
were covered by the preliminary ex-
animation, and because the DEFEND
ant had had no opportunity to pre-
pare his defense under the informa-
ton filed in the complaint.
Judge F. b. Smith overruled the
motion to dismiss, the defense en-
tered a demurrer which in turn was

LOCAL FIRM HANDLING FORD
HEADLIGHT INTENSIFTER.

A new firm with a brand-new in
vention has located temporarily in
the Dawson building just west of the
A. C. Floe studio. This firm OF
Griffin & Knudson is manufacturing
and selling a most useful lighting

fin, who is and always has been, me-
chanically inclined. put two and two
together in electrical science and dis
covered a principle that, applied to
the lighting of Ford automobiles
proved to be something strange, new
yet commercially important. The
Ford headlight intensifier was the
result of Mr.. Griffin's calculations
and applications. He has evolved q
simple method of producing 100 per
cent more efficiency in the combus-
ton energy of the Ford car lighting
and the invention consists of only a
few metal parts. A metal case about
three inches in length holds the but
ton for switching on the current and
the copper key connection. Attached
to this al are the insulated wires
that are strung to the-magneto. The
metal case is to be attached to the
steering column drive below the
steering wheel. These gentlemen are
now ready to put their device on the
market since it has been fully tested
out and found just as represented.
Several of them are now in use on
cars in this city. They are to be
handled by the local company in
large quantities and will be supplied

RICH PEOPLE
SOUTH DAKOTANS HAVE MUCH
MONEY IN STATE BANKS.

Pierre, April 21.-Over $780,
600, 900 is deposited in the banks of
South Dakota at the present time,
on the showing made by the report
of business of state banks for the
call of March. The showing for thu
state banks totals $170,355,132, an
increase of $19,649,652 over the de-
posits at the time of the call in No
vember. The increase in the state
banks for the year from the March
call OF 1918 and the March call OF
1919 is s35 %989,037. This increase
of the year is more than the total
banking deposits of the state only q
few years ago.
One of the features of the March
report is that there was an increase
over the November call of S1O,5O5 =
701 in the time certificates in the
banks of the state in the few months,
and at the same time the checking
deposits had increased $5~,332,854.
At the date of the corresponding
November call last year the nation
al banks of the state were carrying
$~84.839,997, and this would send
the deposits over $3.50, 900, 900 with
out any increase in the nationals, but
assuming that their increase was in
the same proportionate rate as was
the'state bank deposits. the total for
March would have been over $780,
OOO. O00. This would mean deposits
of about 1910 for each man, woman
and child in the state.

term of court.
Chief of Police f. F. Donaldson,
who is also charged with a similar
%offense, may be rearrested, accord

that the original complaint filed
against him was not specific enough.
States Attorney p. A. Zollman, how
ever, refused to comment on that
phase of the case. He declared,
however, that he would push the
prosecution of the mayor. The
charges against both city officials
were brought by State Sheriff
