DAKOTA CORN IS BEST
QUALITY - RATED AZ SECOND
BEST or ANY STATE m

Oe0b VT SNv ~ IN
THE UNION.
The quality OF the corn crop OF 1918
n South Dakota IL declared by com
petsnt authority to be the second best
produced BY any state in the union.
West Virginia 10 reputed entitled to
6rst honors Is respects quality. As
70 quantity the production Of that
state is comparatively insignihcant.
South Dakota is reported to have pro
duced los. 000, 900 bushels Of corn in
1913. The production in 1917 10 stated
to have been $4,000, 900 Bushels. The
stimulus to pork production and the
high ruling price OF corn resulted in
an unusually heavy crop not only in
South Dakota but In Iowa and the
northwestern states generally. The
South Dakota corn crop is moving to
the markets slowly, according to re-
ports. This delay Is attributable to
the bad condition Of the highways. In
many sections OF the state they are
scarcely passable, it Is reported. A
large percentage Of the South Dakota
crop il going to market during
the next two or three months.

band died as Lusk, Wyo., and with
her five children she was on her way
to relatives in the east. All the
money she hadsin the world was 1851,
and this was tied up in her handker-
chief. Before the train reached Chad
ron she missed the money and . most
thorough search by the conductor and
others Of the train crew failed to To-
cate 1t. The conductor had reason to
doubt the honesty OF the porter, and,
taking q chance. openly charged the
man with having stolen the money.
The porter denied 1t. Members Of the
train crew grasped him and he was
searched. The missing money was
found on his person. Acting on tele-
graph instructions from the head OF
nee Of the railway company in Omaha,
TO whom the case had been reported
by wire, the conductor and others OF
the train crew threw the porter from
the train at the next stopping place.
They would not even deadhead him
back to Omaha.
