Mitchell, s. d, March 26.-Miss
Eleanor Hunter. agent of the federal
department Of labor. will tour this
state this week In the interests Of h
stay lin school movement, which is be-
ing backed by the federal government.
The object Of the campaign is to de-
crease as much as possible the illit-
eracy Of the country districts. There
are five states In the union which
make II necessary for children under

year the government found that only Is
per cent Of all the children who ap-
piled for federal labor certificates
could sign their own names. Miss
Hunters object in visiting this state
and others is 10 try and persuade par
ents to keep their children In school
through at least the eighth grade. Be-
sides Mitchell, Miss Hunter will visit
Aberdeen, Huron, Wolsey, Woonsocket.

PROPERTY RUINED
Rudolph Jacoby, Of Lennon,

Repair Damage Done
BY Germans.

Lennon, s. D., March 2k.-Rudolpf
Jacoby, a Perkins county mar. had ar.
ranged to make a trip at once to Bel
GUM for the purpose of a~scertaining ip
what condition the Germans had left

buildings were completely destroyed by
the Germans during their occupation
of that port. His trip therefore will be
delayed until summer, when he VIII

secure partial reimbursement for the
losses he has sustained.
The information concerning the de-
.struction Of his property was sent him
by Capt. e. Calmelet, a sea captain and
personal friend who remained at Os-
tend during the entire war. In de-
scribing whit Ostend suffered, Captain
Calmelet writes:
"Ostend has suffered much during
the "a There were about 400 civil
fans killed and a lot MANNED for life.
Property has also suffered greatly.
The houses that were not damaged by
the shooting were pillaged by the Ger

hotels and villas on the sea dixie and in
town. We had to deliver all the brass
work we had, lamps, statuets, door
Knockers, etc, and also all the wool
Of our mattresses. They were a ter

years has been identified with the city
affairs as police justice. ~s}H

Usher, having the Pierre Free Press in
charge for several years. He was

Betty was four years old she had al

ASSESSORS STUDY
WORK BEFORE Them
New Hail Insurance Law and
the Gathering of Crop Stats
tics Add Materially to
Their Duties.

Pierre. 8. d., March 26.--Among the
topics and problems discussed by the
county auditors present during last
week to consult with each other and
the tax commission over current taxa
ton and assessment matters, the point
Of assessment of pure bred live stock
was given consideration, 1t being con-
assessed on the same basis as ordinary
stock as TO valuations, while o. the
other hand range horses nowadays are
practically unstable.
The county auditors find hat the
new duties entailed by the state hall
insurance law, enacted by the recent
legislature, will considerably add to
their old duties. Insurance Commits
sioner Van Camp appeared before the
auditors and explained the various de-
tails Of the law.
Last year the tax commission, with
the aid Of the assessors md through
q law passed providing for II, collected
crop acreage statistics for the first
time, excepting census years, and IL
was found to be Of great value. Con-
sequently II. o. Herbrandson, field
agent por tne Onlpeu StdteS bureau VI
agriculture, appeared before the audi
tors and indicated the great need OF
specific information along that line,
mot obtainable in the past. This year
pit will be pursued still further to bring
South Dakota figures into line with
statistics from other states.
Real estate assessments under the
new law were discussed for the audi
tors by Tax Commissioner Eveland;
personal property exemptions under
the new law by Commissioners Smith,
and Chairman Henry, of the rurat
credits. explained the working OF the
rural credits law In relation to taxa
ton. Attorney General Payne spoke
on the legal side of affairs, and several
other speakers added information on
various points, blanks to be used this
year, forms, etc.

CHRISTOPHER EGGS ~ Ga
FOUND IN LARGE NUMBERS

Pierre, s.. D., March 2e.-Harry M.
Nininger, federal entomologist, has
been in this part of the state looking
over the possibilities of "hoppers" for
the coming summer and finds that
many Of the alfalfa fields are badly
infected with eggs, which the warm
weather of summer will bring out.
Hoppers have made their appearance
already at some places, but these are
reported by the entomologist to be of
the alternating variety, and not de-
.structive to crops. He found plenty Of
evidence of. their becoming active later.
He found a few of the eggs had been
affected by a fungus, which will pre-
vent all so affected from Matching, but
he number which showed such lack
Of fertility was small as compared with
the number OF eggs found in the diff
ferent fields. examined.
