knew her, and fervent prayer will
be bfeathed by all for the repose of

TEN cows USED IN TEST
Cows Grazing Oats Produced 2.36 OF

Fed On Sorghum.

Dairy cows at the Louisiana State
University Experiment Station farm
each produced 2.S6 pounds of milk
more per day while grazing ON oats
than when fed sorghum silage, accord
ing to a feeding test conducted last
winter. Ten oows were used in this
test, which was continued for per
riod of ten days and then changed to
sorghum silage for like period. At
each change two days were allowed
for the transition period before the,
milk records were started. The grain
and hay portions OF the ration re-
mained the same throughout the ex.
pertinent. and the only change made
was from oats to sorghum every ten
days.

With the American Forces In North
Russia.-Russian soldiers returning
from Germany to their homes in north
ern Russia find their fatherland vastly
changed since they went to war. Scores
OF these soldiers are passing through
the bolshevik lines and making their
way to the American and other allied
outposts.
They tell tales of pitiful suffering
from hunger in the villages through
which they passed. One of them, f..
Evlampieff of A%rchangel, thus de.
scrlbes his experiences:
Famine Reisns at P%etroprad.
"At Petrograd we were sent to bar
racks, where a bOlshevik officer start
ed to read us the soviet program. The
prisoners protested. Give us first
something to eat, and then read us
your program they cried. Then the
commissar gave up trying to read the
program, saying we were not fit ele-
ments for propaganda, and left us.
Each of us received % rubles In adj
vance on his salary.
Famine was reigning In Petrograd.

CORY received one-half pound. The cit
liens grind the oats In coffee mills to
make flour for bread. For Christmas
the Petrograd inhabitants received two
potatoes for each person. A slice Of
bread is sold for 25 rubles. There was
no tobacco. People smoked cabbage
and nettle.
Wait for Bread Two Days.
"The situation at Vologda was the
same as in Petrograd. 1t was famine,
and the population stood In line for
bread sometimes two days. There was
no private commerce. The shops were

On his way from Vologda toward

to Vologda. A peasant hid him In q

lagos he passed through, he said, there
was famine. The peasants cut straw,
cook 1t and make bread. Eventually,
after a long journey ON foot through
the snow, Evlampieff reached his
home.
When such prisoners reach the terri

New Computing Machine Solves Me-
chanicaIIy Calculations Necessary
In Working "Sight."

Westinghouse new computing ma
chine used In the solution Of naviga-
tion problems and applicable to aerial
navigation was the subject Of a re-
port to the National Academy of
Science by DR.. Charles Lane Poor.
After explaining that the many at
tempts to solve all the problems Of
navigation by mechanical devices, or
by sets of plotted curves, had not been
successful, Doctor Poor said the new
Saint Hilaire method adopted by the
principal navies Of the world lends It
self readily to a mechanical solution.
Further, he said, a computing ma
chine has been designed which solves,
mechanically the entire logafithmic
calculations necessary In working out
a sight" by this method. With this
instrument the calculations r ac-
tually performed with a few direct,
simple movements. and with an ac-
curacy equivalent to that obtained
with fOur-place logarithmic table.
In principle this instrument Is es-
~sentially a circular slide rule. Its ac-
curacy is sufficient for "off shore"
navigation on board ship and is am
pie for any work on airplanes or air
ships.

SAFE FROM SEARCH
HOMES CANNOT BE ENTERED
WITHOUT WARRANTS.

Pierre, May 19.-Search of private
residences for liquor without war
rants Is not permitted under the
South Dakota law, and attempts to
procure repeal of the prohibition
amendments to the state constitution
on the ground that search is being
mad is pure camouflage, according
to State Sheriff Shanks.
The state sheriff made this state
ment in discussing referendum petit
lions being circulated to obtain the
repeal of the amendments.
There is no provision for such
search in the amendments of 1919,
Sheriff Shanks said, and the only
provision for action of the kind is
contained in the law of 1917, which
stipulates that the right of search
previously existing is not abridged
by the prohibitory enaction. The
only case where such search would
be permissible under this statute is
the private house that is conducted
In such a as to give grounds
for such a search, it is set forth.

GOSSIP.SUICIDE
DAKOTA GIRL COULDN'T STAND
BEING TALKED ABOUT"

Puma, May 19.-Miss Madeline
Sheckles, II years old, of Puma,
committed suicide by firing a bullet
from a 45-caliber revolver into her
breast. The father and mother soon
were on the scene and found her still
alive, but she died without regaining
consciousness.
The mother was Frustrated and ii
was necessary to take her to a hos
pital. The girl was a student of the
Lead schools and had returned to her
home only a short time before the
fatal shot was fired.
1t Is believed the girl became de-
ranged by neghborhood gossip con-
Meeting her name with that of a man
OF the vicinity. Evidence at the cor
oner's inquest indicated that the girl
and her mother had had a heated ar
gument concerning this gossip a
short time before the tragedy and
not long after the girl had reached
home from school.

SCHOOL LANDS
ACREAGE IN SOUTH DAKOTA
BRINGS $4,197 ,O6S-Average
$73.77 PER ACRE.

Pierre, May 19.-The sales of state
school lands during this year amount
ed to $~4,197,063, this applying to the
school fund alone. In addi-
tion s324,4S1 of endowment, and
capitol building lands were sold,
making the total of the sales for the
year slightly more than $4,000. 900.
AS an indication of the demand for
the state lands, the average price
paid over the state for common school
lands was $73.77 per acre, with the
highest average in Hutchinson coun-
ty at $134.SS per acre, for 2,362
acres sold. The lowest average for
any county east of the Missouri river
vas $50 per acre in Grant county for
1880 acres. Brookings and Kings
bury went above 500 in the aver
ages.
The average received for the en-
dowment lands was $46.01 per acre
for 6,793 acres scattered in differ
ent sections of the state.
There has been criticism of the
prices placed on the state lands by
the state appraisal board as being too
high, when in fact practically all, the
tracts sold were eagerly bid in at
prices higher than those fixed by the
appraisal board. The demands for
land in this state this spring went far
beyond the expectation, and with the
easy terms under the new law. bid
ders were ready to 60 to a higher
price than they would have gone I'M
der the old terms.

BREAD WILL REMAIN HIGH
Millers Assert They Will Be Unable
to Cut Price of Flour

Minneapolis, May 16.-Although the
United States Grain Corporation is
to offer Minneapolis -four mills cheaper
supply OF wheat from outside sources,
millers assert that they will be un.
able to lower the price of -four to a
degree that will influence bread prices.
Patent fours at Minneapolis are
selling for $12.40 to $3.50 a barrel.
When julius H. Barnes, head of the
Grain corporation, was in Minneapo-
lis recently, he asserted that $12 was
a fair price for flour, with the present
wheat prices as a basis.
