Rhodes killed a wolf in the timber
on his farm. Shortly afterward he
saw the mate and killed it. At the
same time he discovered the hole
leading to the wolf nest. Excavation
of the hole disclosed a pig, a sheep
and a dozen chickens. The scalps of
both wolves were delivered by
Rhodes to the county auditor. He re-
ceived $40 bounty.
Wolves are quite numerous In the

Booze Disappears From Train.

Clarion, Ia.-California liquor will
be routed around Iowa hereafter.
When a carload paused in the freight
yards in Clarion this week, two bar
rels Of wine and twenty cases of
whiskey disappeared. The barrels
were found in a field near by. with
not single drop of liquor in them.
1t seemed to have been soaked up In
a sponge. Soil analysis disclosed that
not gill had been spilled. The whis-
key has vanished. At antiprohibition
prices the liquor stolen would be
worth about $1,000. At the ruling
market in contraband goods in Iowa
it is worth fabulous sum.

OBITUARY MRS. r. w. FAULKNER

Mabel May Lindley was born at
in Bushnell, S. d., Thursday. March
9th, being SO years, 5 months and s
days old. She was united in marriage
to Fred w. Faulkner. August 7th, 1901.
She leaves to mourn her death her
husband, two sons, Russell and Ken
meth, three daughters, Edith, Helen
and Mabel, and Faith, a babe of six
weeks. Also her mother and n SIS
ter, besides a host of friends.
At an early & the deceased united
with the Congregational church at
Winnebago, ILL.,, and has always lived
an exemplary Christian life. In her
home she was a faithful. loving wife
and an ideal mother. She had moth
ing to fear in leaving this world and
passing on to another and larger life.
But the loss to the family and the
community which she leaves behind
her is very great. Especially great
is the loss to the bereaved husband
and children. They moved to Dakota
in 1909, locating north OF Brookings,
where they lived until three years ago
when they came to this community.
The funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon at the Methodist
church by Rev. Edgar, and was large
ly attended by relatives, friends and
neighbors who gathered to give ex'
preston of their sympathy to the sor-
rowing husband and children, aged
mother and sister. A rich tribute Of
flowers were offered. The burial was
in BroOkings cemetery. WV

GREAT EXTENSION SERVICE

The South Dakota law p%roduving
for agricultural extension work takes
a leading place among the laws of
all states in that the initiative and
control of the work rests among the
farmers of the county, says G.. Larsen,
director of the State College extern
sion division. When the extension
law was passed by the Legislature of
South Dakota in 1915 a decided for
ward step was taken. This law says,
in effect: Whenever the people in
a county are sufficiently interested,
they may organize a farm bureau.
When this organization is formed the
state will assist in carrying out it's
program of work by giving it sixty
cents for every dollar the county APP
prOpriates." The law further pro-
vides that this farmers association
hires a county agent and outlines the
work he is TO do. Through the farm
bureau the members can accomplish
anything in a cooperative way, If APP
proved by the board Of directors of
the county farm bureau,
1t is in this local initiative and in
this local control where the South
Dakota law excels. 1t is up to the
farmers Of the county. If they wish
to have a central clearing house for
the different phases of agriculture in
the county: if they wish someone to
assist in doing things in an organized
way rather than doing things indi-
vidaully or not doing things at all
then they can organize and obtain
financial help from the county, from
the state and from the government.
In South Dakota there Is no such
a thing as the government and state
officials imposing fixed farm policies
and men upon the counties. The
trainers of the South Dakota extern
sion law avoided this. Other states
are finding out that from Washington
to the people is the wrong direction,
but that from the people to Washing
ton through their own states admin
istration is the better way. In other
words other states see that the South
Dakota extension law is a real con-
structive piece of legislation, giving
the people the initiative and the d.
rection of the work.
