Retail ClOthiers
for Investigation

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Investigation
of the business methods of clothing
manufacturers throughout the u S.
by a committee of retailers was or
dered by delegates in the convention
of the National Retail Clothiers' asso-
citation.
In a resolution which called for
the appointment of special commit
tee it was asserted that some manu-
facturers of clothing have sold on
future orders merchandise at certain
agreed prices and have subsequently
resold and delivered the same COM
modities at advanced prices and re-
Trained from shipping to the original
purchaser.
This alleged tendency on the part
cf the manufacturer, the reailers say,
increases without warrant the mate
rial price of clothing and thereby
places an additional burden on the
consumer.
]. J. Phoenix, of Delaven, Wis. told
the delegates that there was no pos
sibility of clothing being cheaper dur
ing the coming year.

started. Now some of them are
cleaning up" on their summer work
and making a good profit. Most of
their sales are the original stock of
registered sows which are being
taken to another location TO get a
new class of boys interested In
every case the boys have sold their
original stock at a higher price than
they paid last spring, and have all
the registered offspring left for
further profit in their ventures.
These clubs of boys for handling reg
istered live stock are being financed
by the banks, and with the profits
going to the boys themselves, it
makes farming look more attractive
to the boy than when he has no per-
sonal interest in the work.

Many Indians at
Episcopal ConvOcation

Sioux Falls, Sept. 12.--That the
Indian knows how TO give and when
to give was shown in the Indian con-
vocation recently held at Standing
Rock for four days and which closed
Monday afternoon. Rt. Rev. Bishop
and Mrs. Hugh l.. Burleson and Miss
Mary Peabody and DR.. Camp of All
Saints school, returned home yester-
day. The Bishop stated that the
convocation was attended by about
1900 Indians, during the four days,
all of which time, they were blessed
with delightful September weather.
Two young Indians were ordained
to the priesthood and one as dea-
con. Henry H.. Whipple of Grow
Creek and Stephen King of Pine
Ridge were the new priests and John
p. Henry of Rosebud was made dea
con.
Sunday was solemnly observed By
the Indians with special thanksgiv-

by them the collection amounted to

Large Boa Constructor
Killed at DeSmet

DeSmet, Sept. 12,-Big snake
hunting has become a pastime with
the more courageous residents of
DeSmet.
DR.. l.. p. Scofield and Merle Sasse
were passing along a residence street
when they saw monster snake MAX
ing its way across the street, avident-
ly having come from its place of con-
cealment in sheds at the rear of a
residence.
The reptile proved to be boa con-
strictor, six feet in length, which the
two men killed after hot fight.
Renectnly the snake charmer con-
Lected with street carnival COM
pany showing in DeSmet had row
with her husband and disappeared
carrying with her every cent of the
family accumulations.
In his anger at being left stranded
financially, the husband evidently be-
lieved the only way he could "get
even" with his recreant wife was to
turn the snakes loose, which he did.
The boa constructor just found and
killed is believed to have been the
largest of the snakes turped loose on
peaceful and snake hating COM
munity
How many more of the snakes are
crawling about the town and vicinity
is a mystery which the timid resi-
dantc af DaCmaf wish fhav wara a hle
to solve.

NOISE BARS SLEEP
AirpIane Factories Are Not Good
Neighbors.
France Warns U. S.: DON'T Build
Plants Near Human
Habitation.

Paris.-With the certainty that avia-
ton is quickly to become one of the
big industries throughout the entire
world, Paris has little warning for
all of her sister cities of America and
every other country.
The warning is this. Enact imme-
diately, either state, municipal or ma
tional, legislation prohibiting the erec-
tion of airplane factories anywhere
within hearing distance of where hui
man beings have to live and sleep.
Otherwise, said human beings won't
be able to sleep and will be driven In
no time at all either into their graves
or some far-away sanitarium.
Everyone knows how much rumpus
an airplane makes when 1t is flying
thousands Of feet overhead. Well,
every airplane motor before 1t Is
mounted has to be tested, and to be
tested it Is attached to huge bench
or platform and run continuously at
top speed, with hundreds of horse
power back Of 1t, for at least twenty
four hours and sometimes forty-eight.
During that period Of time nobody
living within hearable distance can
possibly sleep.
At Suresnes, where motors are test
ed for forty-eight hours, 1t has been
necessary to close an adjacent school.
AT Puteaux the inhabitants declare
they have not slept for months.
AT Courbevoie the city council has
resigned as means of protest.
At Clichy the city has bought large
tract of land for the erection of mu-
nicipal hospital. Airplane factories
during the war installed themselves In
the vicinity and the medical authori-
ties now refuse to let the city. build It's
hospital In such death-insuring To-
cality.
The department of the Seine has
been forced In the interest Of public
health to take measures to stop the
airplane factories and get them moved
into more isolated localities.
