that Germany is not continuing to de-

correspondent quotes its informant as
saying. I'VE also have the best rea-
sons to believe that Germany is keep

Canada Peas Recommended
As A Catch Crop In S. D.

An inquirer asks State college Tor
information regarding Canada field
meas as a forage or threshed crop for
hogs and their effect on the soil.
Reply by DR. A. N. Hume, agronom-
list: We think a great deal OF these
peas in South Dakota as a catch crop
I. e. as an annual legume to put in
when clover fails. But they have some
limitations which make their general
recommendation seem doubtful. Es-
pecially II the season turns hot and
dry. they do not grow luzuriantly'
The seed is expensive. so that in case
the crop fails the loss is great. ine
roots are restricted so that apparently
the crop adds not greatly to the soil
unless turned under.

BUILDING INTEREST
REWVES IN MILLER
Several Important Propositions to BE
Taken Up at Special Meeting Of
Commercial Club Next Monday

Miller is having a revival of building
enthusiasm which has been dorman,
since the summer of 1911. Several
different enterprises are under con
sideration which will be taken up al
a special meeting Of the Commercial
Club which will be called on Monday
February 18th.
Perhaps the most important of the
enterprises is the construction of a
hotel to cost between $4,000 and $751;
0c0. The location is one Of the things
which will be discussed at the special
meeting of the Club,-and also the
mean of raising the necessary money,
Another very worthy enterprise, and
one that will meet the approval of
many people is the paving of the two
main business blicks of the city. The
cost of doing this is estimated at about
Sic, 900. or between two hundred and
fifty and two hundred and seventy
dollars for each twenty-five foot front
To do this paving 1t would be neces-
sary to secure Q petition signed by a
majority of the lot owners i'm the two
blocks.
A $4,000 stock sales pavilion is
also contemplated and all stock raisers
interested are invited to attend this
meeting and express their views.
These things could all be put
through il the people and business
men of the city would get together in
the right community spirit, and show
a little of the "old pep" that is neces-
sary to make this a thriving city.
Rasmus Anderson will oon start
construction of a $4,000 creamery to
be built on the lots just east of the
Miller Auto Co. garage, on west End
street. The creamery when complet-
ed will be thoroughly modern in every
way, and will be one of the best in
this section of the state.
Another building proposition of a
private nature which is being worked
up is the construction of a Masonic
Temple to cost about $4,000. A build
ing site hasAbeca secured and consid-
cradle stock has already been sub
scribed.
Besides these there are several res
licences that are planned to be built,
and It has also been stated that there
is to pc a new depot erected here this
summer.
II these things all go through, as
they ought, Miller will have a $780,
900 building program, which will be in
line with the government request that
as much building as possible be start
ed to furnish employment to returned
soldiers.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
