ALLEGED SOLDIER

Canton. S. D., April 2S.-Business

Ing his name as Capt. Charles Nc

be a veteran of the world war, who
has disappeared, together with u Dor

tenant Stewart, Of Inwood. The dis
appearance OF the Soldier" was a rude
shock to the people Of Inwood, who
had taken him to their bosoms, SO to
speak. under the belief thai he was
what he represented himself to be-a
hero of the great war.
Captain McDouga" arrived in In.
wood several weeks ago and had been
employed by the Inwood Auto Com
pany. He had been scheduled to be this
chief speaker at an Epworth League
soldier service. but failed to appear. II
was learned that shortly before tha
meeting he borrowed an automobile
from the Inwood Auto Company and
drove to Sioux Falls. Then he went
to the MISUNDERSTANDING Co. and
traded off the borrowed" car for an
other one, it is alleged, and gave hi;
notes for the difference in price. Then
he dropped from sight.
He claimed to have served three
years in the world war-one year with
the American forces and the balance
Of the time with the Princess Pat
regiment. His claim to having seen
service in SO distinguished a branch
of the Canadian army opened the way
FOR him to gain the full confidence OF

Why We Can't Have $4,000
Apiece.
From the k.n.ss City Star.

Hungary has solved TIE problem of a good living for everybody,
{ a disratch from Budapest to a Berlin newspaper is to be believed.
The government simply divides the population into three classes-in-
telectlal workers, merchants and workmen. The first class is to re.
aeve q minimum income of 1900 d year, the second Of IS 900 a year,
and the third of $780,.
The plan looks delightful. No more poverty, a decent living for
svery family. What more could be des!red7
But here a question must suggest itself. Is there income enough
20 ga round and produce these results9 -Four years ago an instructor
n the University of Wisconsin, ". /. King, made a study which he
published under the title, THE Wealth and Income Of the People Of
hs United States 80 In this book lie considers the estimated distri-
uticn of income among the families Of the United States in 1910. He
does not claim accuracy for his study. No definite figures were avail
lbe except for certain states. But with the information from these
nstes, from the department Of labor and from the United States cen
ss, he figured in this way: In 1910 there were approximately IS,
DWD. 900 famMiesi in the country. The estimated revenue that year was
s3D,5W OOO, O0N Part Of this must be set aside for requirements and
improvements. But ii the enhre revenue were divided equally among
the families, each one would have about $1l00 a year.
What then becomes Of the Hungarian spporionment7 Figures
before the war showed that Prussia produced only about onethird as
mach income per person as the United States, and Hungary is poorer
than Prussia. The Hungarian government cannot possibly guarantee
such a schedule of incomes Tor the simple reason, among others, that
there ism L that amount Of income TO be divided.

FIND CRITICISM OF
HAIL INSURANCE LAW

Mitchell. s.. D., April 30.--County
auditors in South Dakota are by no
means satisfied with their knowledge OF
the new state hail insurance law. In
an effort to arrive at some sort Of a
mutual understanding of the statute
some 20 of these officials gathered here
to discuss the measure.
The question of the elective clause,
allowing farmers to come under the
law if they desire or to stay out, was
censured probably more than any other
phase. The law provides that when a
certain sum has been piled up for a
sinking fund the insurance, rate, which
is first made approximately 35 cents an
acre, may be cut, 1t was pointed out
hat certain farmers might elect to stay
out from the provisions of the law until
hat sum was reached and thus obtain
for themselves h lower rate at the
expense of other farmers in the state
who by their premiums had made the
sinking fund possible.

with her frst books. In ad-
dition to their educational value, they
are q source Of great pleasure ano
have grown to be her daily com
panions. When she was about fourteen
months old she was given her hrst
book, q small linen one containing
pictures Of animals. These we would
call by name as we pointed them ou,
to her, and as they became familiar
she would point them out herself. Al
ter IN had learned to talk. she could
say the names also. Linen books con-
tanning pictures of objects IN colors
were next given the child ana whe1
she had become acquainted with thest
group pictures were added to the col
lection.

ard by calling attention to their color,
the child earned both number ana
calor. Emile Poulsson's book on
Finger Plays" is an enjoyable supple
ment to pictures of this kind.
We found simple, homemade, In
destructible sc~rap-books most sotts-
factory and attractive. Anticipating
the book stage. we had collectei a
number OF colored pictures from
magazines. For the leaves Of these
books we used brown paper-muslin,
cutting Ii number Of pieces twelve by
twenty-four inches and, after laying
them one on top OF another, stitching
them through the center, thus making
q. book twelve by twelve inches when
closed. On the pages we mounted the
pictures with paste. y
One book contained pictures Of fowss,
turkeys, chickens. ducks, geese, guinea
fowls, and some pigeon and crow PIC
lures alno. In another book we pastel
pictures of four-legged domestic AM,

the family life OF these III their nat
