Dear Argus Family:
will break my silence by
sending in a few items that +
feel may interest some Of you.
We are having delightful
autumn weather, just a little
too cool, however, early in the
morning without some fire.
This is the season for harvest
ing the apple crop and l went
up to the little town Beaumont
on the Southern Pacific r. r.,
where the eleativon is about
double here, where they have
two packing houses. There
they wrap and box the many
fall varieties and send them
TO Los Angeles and other cities
to be put in cold storage. The
buyer of the house | was with
was out in his auto every day
buying from the orchardists,
paying from one to three
cents pound. Besides apples
he bought and sent in some
pears, peaches and prunes.
From Beaumont | went higher
up on the mountain where the
elevation is near 5000 feet.
That is attitude for the best
apples and the orchards have
a heavy crop this year. Such
varieties as the Jonathan, King
David, Rome Beauty, Delicious
Hoover, Winesap and Stamen
are along the leading varieties
found here. Some men hire
men to pick and box, and wo-
men and girls to wrap and
place in the shipping boxes.
These are then passed to the
presser who puts on the lid,
presses it down and nails it,
ready for shipment.
Last week | went to River
side, a beautiful little city of
some 10000 population, where
they have an annual fair for
Southern California. / was
surprised and yet delighted to
find such an extensive and va
ried collection of products of
home and farm. The dOmeS-
tic science and economic dis
plays were in abundance. The
Sherman Indian Institute had
a tent to itself and they had
many things of interest that
were the products of the pu-
pills. This school is in or near
Riverside and has some six or
eight hundred Indian students
from California, Arizona and
Nevada, and is financed by
the government. The farm
products, besides live stock,
consists of fruits, corn, cotton,
pumpkins, land of these there
were many and some very

many garden vegetables. OF
the live stock the goats ut

there were over three hundred
on exhibition. The price for
pure bred milk goats range
from twenty, fifty; one, two,
five hundred to up into the
thousands of dollars. Too
much for a goat, it seemed to
me. And | saw some forty or
fifty hogs that would weigh
six to eight hundred pounds

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 26.--Mitchel
mrned soldiers in the southeastern part
Of South Dakota, Monday. March 8
according to plans announced by w. H
King, chairman of the entertainment

merce.
This date was set Immediately fol-
lowing the receipt OF a telegram from

Camp Dix, New Jersey, last week for
rehabilitation. There are AZ Dawson
county men in this unit, INC Sergeant
Vanderbossche wired that they had all
arrived at Camp Dodge to be mustered

These men will form the nucleus for
the celebration. 1t is expected they
will arrive home in a body the latter
part of this week, as they will all re-
ceive their discharge on Tuesday. The

CHARGES AGAINST
WOMAN DISMISSED
Authorities Have insufficient
Evidence to Hold Her on
Liquor and Larceny
Complaints.

Madison, S. D., Feb. 24.-As the re-
suit OF her preliminary hearing. the
case OF the state VS.. Mrs. Floy Hotch-
Kiss, charged with grand larceny, was
dismissed and the defendant ordered
released from custody. The case was
one OF a series instituted against her
and her husband, Fl. 4. Hotchkiss. The
husband was held for trial in the state
circuit court OF Lake county on the
charge of transporting liquor.
Mrs. Hotchkiss was arrested some
days ago on a similar charge, but this
case against her was dismissed on the
ground that there was not sufficient
evidence to warrant holding her for
trial in the state circuit court. Then
she was arrested on a grand larceny
charge preferred by Walter Murray, by
whom she and her husband had been
employed in his Madison store, and
now this case also has been dismissed.
The trial or the husband ls expected
to take place at the next term OF court.
1t is said that Hotchkiss and his wife
came to South Dakota last fall from
some point in Nebraska.

BARBER-GAMBLER
TRIED HOLDUP GAME

Fimball, S. D., Feb 24.-Jack King,
charged with breaking into the hard
ware store of Brooks & Bracan, was
given a hearing and was bound over
to the next term of the circuit court
on $1,000 bonds.
Testimony was that King had been
engaged in a poker game Sunday
night and early Monday morning, and
that about AIS o'clock in the morning
he appeared in the room with a %
caliber rifle and ordered the men about
the table to line ur and hold up their
hands, at the same time swapping a
cartridge which failed to explode.
The gun was aiken from him, and
after some rough handling he was
thrown out of the room. 1t was shown
at the hearing that the rifle was taken
from Brooks & Bracan's store.
King came here about IS months ago
as a barber. For the last ear he has
conducted a shop of his own. He was
married here about a year ago. Last
summer he was arrested, charged with
bootlegging, pleaded guilty at the last
term of court and vas fined $3.50. It
is stated that he vas to have paid the
fine this week.

italian Sentiment

From the New York Times.
The actual merits OF either side OF the
Italian-Jugo-Sla controversy have be-
come pretty well obscured in the last few
months, by the feelings reused in the two
nations through the revival Of ancient
grievances and the creation OF new ones.
It Is regrettable that what was often no
more than tnctlessness could drive great
peoples toward a state OF mind which
tends to continue international enuity.

where: and VIC can only recognise that III
has happened again. and that efforts 10
obtain . reasonable and lasting settle
ment OF the Adriatic question must, as a
matter OF method at least, take account
OF the feelings 80 aroused.
There Is an indication OF the grounds
for suspicion OF the Jugo -Sls vs.. and for
resentment at support In other countries
OF the Jugo-SlAv cause, which is felt Very
generally by Italian liberals. Among the
JuEo- Slavs there are alsc extremists not

picions of italy reused by errors tp the

FREED OF CHARGE OF
HAVING BURNED GARAGE

Milbank, S. D., Feb. 26.-A Jury in
the circuit court here returned a YER
dict of not guilty in the case of the
state against Francis R~oggenbuck,
charged with arson. The case was a
somewhat unusual one. Roggenbuck
and Waiter Martin had occupied the
old city hotel barn as an automobile
repair shop. The barn was destroyed
by fire Of mysterious origin, and after
an investigation the state fire marshal
caused the arrest Of Martin on sus-
picion of having fired the building.
Martin later entered a plea of guilty
in the circuit cour and was fined and
sentenced to a term In the Sioux Falls
penitentiary, but the sentence was sus-
pended during good behavior.
Martin made a sworn statement to
the effect that the matter had been
talked over. n that Roggenbuck had
started the fire, and that he had not
attempted to -~extinguish it or mak a
report to anyone. Martin was the chief
witness against Roggenbuck.

66b were killed outright. French casual
ties were 2,719 SAP, of whom $50, 612 were

5000, 600. 900, 600, or 80 times that OF our

eighth has fallen upon the United States,
and by the time the treaty OF peace Is
