New YORK, April z7.-This is a

margin clerk makes his rounds. It
IL true that most stocks srs selling

there is such selling Hs IN going on
now, IL IL well for the lHtle people
to be sure they have not mislaid

Opening irregular today the stock
market turned weak in several de-
partments. but in the afternoon had
a wild advance into new high prices
for numerous securities. This ad-
vance was largely at the expense Of
shorts. II seems that nearly every
body had sold a little Steel short as
a hedge. The upward movement in
the market wiped out this short in
terest to a large extent for after a
rise from 99s TO 103 the stock sank
to 10l. The whole market turned
weak and the close was confusing.
Not only IL the short interest small

inexperienced traders are over-ex-
tended. In several houses today

that lsve made these wild advances
are meritorious. but under cover OF

bring only sorrow to the homes into
which they are being introduced. The
mining and oil lists should be scruti-

The mere fact that a stock has ad

MONTANA SEEKS AID

Pierre. South Dakota has
been called upon to relieve the
financial stringency brought on
in Montana by continued hot
weather and dried-up crops.
Money rates have climbed and a
special session of the legislature
has been called to relieve the
situation. 1t convened Tuesday
of this week.
A request has been sent to
Governor Norbeck, of South
Dakota, asking him to go to
Montana and tell the spe cial ses-
sion Of the working of the rural
credit law in this state South
Dakota has the only working
rural credit system in the Unit
ed States, and the only state
banking and loan system which
has worked out in practical ope-
ration. In the time it has been
working, a little more than two
years, it has put out $14,25O, 900
in loans on lands in this state,
in 81 Of the 68 counties, and on
5,443 applications. This is COM
pared to the nearly 1850, 900
put out on loans from the school
fund in thirty years.

SILO INDISPENSABLE ON
EXPENSIVE LAND

Brookings.-It is not farm
economy to pasture cows on high
priced land, says G.. Larsen, pro.
fessor of dairy hnsl andry al
State college. In the best pas.
ture areas of the state abou.
two acres are required to pasture
one cow two or three months
The same two acres planted to
corn FOR silage will produce
enough feed for two cows a
whole year.
Professor Larsen believes that
South Dakota land will continue
to advance in price and that
there are greater opportunities
for a South Dakota man to make
good here than in any other
place. On the other hand, he
warns that farm income will be
greater by quality farming"
than by quantity farming"
This means the use of silos that
produce the maximum animal
products from a minimum of
land. A good silo indicates pro-
fitable farming and therefore
adds to the value of the farm.

BARE LEGS IN NEW YORK

Lincoln Journal: Fashion may
be all powerful in the world, but
it must not presume too much.
The newspapers tell of the ex-
pulsion Of fashionably gowned
woman from q fashionable New
York hotel because she wore mo
stockings. The hotel manager
admitted that he had heard of
the decree Of Paris fashion in
this matter, but declared that
it could not be put over in his
establishment. There seems to
be bit Of Puritanism still left
in q few places along the great
white way.

FARM HOME BOARD
NOW FUNCTTONING

Pierre. The appointment as
commissioner, or executive Off
Ger, for the land settlement
board has been accepted by Col.
Boyd Wales, who has already
taken charge of the affairs of
the board. The law became eff
fective July 1st and the depart
ment is already in the work out
lined for it by the legislature.
The purpose of the land set
tlement board is to provide farm
homes for returned service men
who want them.
An appropriation of 800, 900
was made, with provision for
bonding the state for a million
more as needed, for loans on
easy terms, and procuring land
to be sold to the men on those
terms.
Of this amount 100000 in
bonds has already been issued.
By small deposit with the
amount fixed by the amount of
land desired or the amount of
Improvement and equipment
to be placed on the land, the help
will be extended, and with the
loans of the rural credits de-
partment to back the board up
as the men get on their feet
and want to make longer and
larger loans, there is every op-
portunity for a farm home for
every man who wants one.
Restrictions are placed, of
course, to insure the safety of
the money and prevent any pos
sible wildcat frauds, but out
side of that, the way is entirely
open. Col. Wales, who was COM
mander Of the 147th Field Artil-
lery, made up Of South Dakota
men, was placed in charge of the
department some time ago but
has just qualified.

WADES THE MISSOURI

The Missouri river, at.the pres
|ent time, is lower at this point
than ever before in the memory
|of the oldest residents. The bar
between Pierre and Fort pierre
extends up the river almost to
the bridge, with q narrow chan
mel on this side and small neck
of dead water on the Hughes
county side. One Of the boatmen
last week Waded across the chan
mel, the water reaching to his
neck in only one place. We ven
ture to say that there are not
many places where this can be
done and it is very apt to be
years before the shifting of the
bar and light rainfalls in the
states north and west Of us make
it possible here again. Fort

ANNUAL REPORT OF
b. & Y. TRAIL

| We have just received q copy
of the annual report Of the
BLACK and Yellow Trail associa.
tion, which is printed in folder
form. In it is contained q finan.
cial statement and also q budget
report, which shows all expendi.
lures and receipts and the
amount of money to be raised
in the communities along the
trail. The folder is gotten up in
an attractive style, both the
trail emblem and the Official
marking being printed in black
and yellow.
The report of the secretary
O. M. Phelps, of Huron, tells of
what the association has accom-
plished in the two years it has
been active and of the work out
lined for this year. The main
activity is giving the trail extcn-
sive publicity and advertising
the route everywhere. The re-
port says, This association is
giving your community an inter-
state highway from Chicago to
Yellowstone Park. In these days
with the enormous increase of
motor driven vehicles, such a
line Of road is a greater develop
ment agent than line Of rail
road was 25 years ago. The ac-
tivities of this association have
not been pipe dreams. 1t has
actually been responsible for the
agitation which has brought a
graded road and the bettern.ent
of graded roads across the state.
: Through the efforts Of .l.ls
association the Black and yellow
trail has secured designation as
a state road-in other words, it
is now part of the trunk line
system of state roads as provid-
ed by the last legislature. At
the present time in every county
through which the trail passes.
there is either a project starred
or surveys have been or are be-
ing made for a project" "

city started Tuesday morning,
and race riots have put walking

tween the whites and negroes

JULY NO MONTH
FOR BABIES!

Chicago, Illinois, is conduct
ing a campaign which bids fair
to determine which is the best
month for babies. Mrs. Walter
IS. Brewster, vice-chairman OF
The Fatherless Children of
France, and in charge of q nat
ional campaign to secure Ameri-
can aid to the extent of 10 cents
a day for one year for $1,000
little French war waits, issued
an appeal for birthday donations
of So to care for a child during
the donors birthday month,
The returns disclosed that it
is almost impossible to unearth a
July birthday. A group Of Lake
Forest families-Lak Forest
being the wealthiest suburb of
undertook to form an
adoption group of the twelve
calendar months. January, Feb
ruary, March and all the other
birthdays were easy to find but
no July child has yet been dis
covered and the local papers are
advertising for July children.
What's the matter with July :?
To adopt fatherless little
French waif-wh;clhs means to
act as its American godfather
or godmother while it remains
with it's own mother in France
or to make a birthday donation,
write to Mrs. Walter S. Brew
ster, Room 635, 40 S. Michigan
Av, Chicago. Every cent donat-
ed goes direct to the child. The
small expenses of the work are
paid by interested friends.

LET HIM ALONE

San Francisco Chronicle: Will.
liam cannot live forever. In the
natural course OF. events, his
remaining years would be but a
moment in the life Of a nation,
and the probabilities are that his
bitter experience will shorten
his days. Left to the exercise
OF saving wood, he may soon be,
if not forgotten, at least relegat-
ed to a place of unimportance in
the minds of his former subjects.
Martyred, he would become more
than ever a national hero and his
memory would serve as the raj
lying point for revival of the
Hohenzollern dynasty.

Not What We Thoughted

In years gone by we had to
hustle and gather news with toll
and hustle. We could not dash
on rubber tires or interview
folk over wires, but every item
that saw printing was some
thing won by honest sprinting.
We got our facts with grip pre-
hensile, and wrote our copy with
a pencil, and after all this toll
laborious the saddest job was
still before us, for no machine
with swift precision performed
our ancient composition. How
often were our flowers of fancy
transformed by types strange
'necromancy to flowers of speech
that all distorted produced
weird thoughts we had not
.thoughted!

DELUGE OF CATTLE,
RANGE RUN HEAVY

1 ~
| Following is the Sioux City
Live Stock Records report Of
Mondays cattle market:
''The first real rush Of cattle
from the range countries came
to the Sioux City market today.
IOf the 5000 cattle reported for
arrival here more than two-
thirds was made up Of rangers,
some of which came from the
drouth sections Of Montana.
With the exception Of June 16,
of this year, the run of today is
the largest for any one day
since the range season was at its
height last fall. 1t was not an
unexpected run, as droath condi-
tions in large part of the
range country are apparently
becoming worse and will compel
the early marketing of large
part of the cattle holding unless
heavy and continued rains are
forthcoming very soon. In the
native offering Of today there
was fair contingent of the pas
SADLY good kinds of fed beeves,
but only small offering on the
prime or fancy order was noted
during the forenoon. The mar
ket continued the slumping tone
that set in during closing days
of last week and bids on the gem
eral run of fed cattle Of al
weights were 25@5Oc Under the
closing days of last week, and II
was on basis of this kind that
bulk of the business was done.
Fairly good kinds of strong
weight steers sold at $4,000
$16.26, with one three-load
string at $l7.30, slightly less at
tractive grades of light to med
ium weights went over the
scales at $14.0O@15.50, with or
dinary native killers showing
some grass ranging around $12.-
5O@13.5O.
In the range line the big sup
plies put the trade somewhat at
sea. The good kinds of stockers
found fairly ready outlet at
around steady, in some cases
strong prices, there being q fair
inquiry from the country. The
grass cows were considerably
lower than week ago, in some
cases as much as $1.00M1.25
lower than on the opening day
of last Week-that is, for grades
that week ago were selling
around $10.O0@1O.5O. No strict
" choice fat range beeyes were
on offer, but any. such would sell
around $14.00 and the kinds here
mostly at around $1O.O0@12.OO.
"At the time Of going to press
there were many unsOld cattle
IN the pens and a clearance ap-
peared to be improbable for the
day. The market was in very.
dull tone and prices were not
holding up to the morning tran
sactions. It is too early for the
to absorb these big sup
plies Of rangers rapidly"
