The county commissioners have
made one-fourth mill levy to provide
funds to fight the grasshoppers. This
will amount to only about rs cents on
each quarter section Of land in the
county and the saving ought to run
into hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
The county will furnish all the grass
hopper poison that is needed and any
farmer who finds any of the pests at
work on his grain, ought to get busy
and put out the poison for them.
County Agent German has charge Of
distributing the poison and he will tell
you Just how to put it out. Many of
the townships have organized and
others will do so at once. The indie
pendent is glad to report that the dam
age done by the grasshoppers in Ward
county. so far, is not as heavy as that
in some other counties, still there is
great danger that unless the pests are
poisoned, great deal Of the grain will
be ruined before harvest.

The subscription manarer Of the In
dependent informs the management
that during the past four months, more
than 600 subscriptions have been add
ed. These are all subscribers who
have subscribed for the Independent
without solicitation for the reason that
they desired to have the paper in their
homes that gives the news. The indie
pendent has had no subscription solic-
itors at work as this paper believes
that it pays better to put this extra
money into the cost of getting out a
paper that the public appreciates. The

location and this paper will now make

by the North Dakota legislature

Thursday. There is now nothing to

"A number Of the bills referred did not
pertain to the league program in any
way whatsoever. We refer to the
printing bill, the educational bill, i'm

most important bills. as far as putting
the league program into effect, are the

been defeated. However, all measures

are willing to try out the program. If
any part Of the program fails, it can

opposition point out that it is risky,

Washington, August 27.-Retail
stores for the sale of household COM

be located in depot centers and other
large cities, and they will accept and
fill mail orders.

ment of certain necessities so that
these stores may be continued in

ment of certain necessities so that

4 consideration. 4
Prices on all commodities offered
for sale will be so fixed as to pre-
vent discrimination between the pur-
chasers who buy over the counter
and those who purchase through the
mail.
All mail orders will be delivered
by parcel post, but the policy Of
making these sales through the post
Office department is to be discon-
tinued. All such orders will 60 di-
rectly to the stores. To expedite the
mail order sales the postofice de-
partment has been asked to establish
sub-stations in each store. Catalogs
quoting prices and giving the location
of all stores are being prepared and
will be available at every postofice
in the United States.
The present plan is to open stores
in the fourteen zone supply cities:
/ Atlanta, Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Jeffersonyille,
Chicago St. Louis, New Orleans, San
Antonio, Omaha, Ell Paso, San Fran
cisco and Washington. The chain
will be extended to additional cities
as rapidly as possible.

had received no such instructions.
He stated, however, that they were
expecting some such information.

Senator Smith, Democrat, Georgia,

would apply the proposed penalties
for sale beyond the "fair price"
standards only in case Of combina-.

tions of Assistant Attorney General
Ames. The department of justice,
Senator Smith said, insists upon
adoption of the prodteering penalties
approved recently by the house, de-,
claring the compromise amendment
would make the departments author
ity doubtful.
A meeting Of the committee to-
consider the amendments was plan
ned for late today.

SHERWOOD HEADS
TICKET IN SIXTH

Columbia, Aug. 27.-It was case
Of each county voting for its favroite
son in the Sixth District yesterday,
and E. J. Sherwood of Conway is
leading the way with P. H. Stoll of
Kingstree second. There are a few
precincts to be heard from, but they
are small ones. At an early hour this
morning the vote stood: Sherwood,
1904; Stoll, 1,753; McInnes, 1850;
Stackhouse, 1,412; Evans, $50; Le-I
Grande, 290.
Mr.. Sherwood got 1,548 votes in
Horny, his home county, and the fact
that his county polled one Of the
largest votes of the district helped
him in his lead. Mr.. Stoll ran strong
in Williamsburg, his home county,
getting 1,135 votes; Mr.. McInnes
easily carried Darlington, his home,
with 848; Mr.. Stackhouse got the
votes of his home county, getting
So; Mr.. Evans and Mr.. LeGrande
were both from Marlboro and they
consequently divided the larger vote
of that county.
The race is close for second place
but it seems this morning that Mr..
Stoll will run against Mr.. Sherwood
on September 9. There is good
chance of Mr.. McInnes or Mr.. Stack
house gaining, but as the missing
boxes ae divided among each Of the
counties, it looks as if Mr.. Stoll's
present lead will be sufficient to put
him in the second race.
