live stock raisers, to prevent the
spread of animal diseases and to en-.
courage farmers to raise more live
stock. according to M. Wilkins, ex-
tension sheep specialist at State col
lege.
Brookings - The South Dakota
Corn and Grain Growers association
will hold its annual meeting al Wa
tertown February 4 to 6, inclusive.
All phases of saving labor on the
farm will be presented both by prac-
tical South Dakota farmers and by
experts whose business 1t is to make
a study of the problem.
Aberdeen-Aberdeen business men
are busily planning for the entertain
ment of the South Dakota Clothiers'
association convention, which will
meet here on January 21-22. An at
tendance of about 100 is expected at
the convention. Headquarters will
be at the Sherman hotel and many
topics Of interest to the trade will be
discussed.
Huron-The epidemic of cornstalk
disease continues to rage among
stock In Beadle county. Men who
are studying the disease appear to
be baffled as regards a cure for the
plague which already has killed
many horses and cattle. 1.-The only
cure I know Of" said one stockman,
Is for the farmers to stop feeding
c~Ornstalks." This same expert de-
clared that the poison infested fields
and no amount of blowing. seeding
or W. freezing Of the ground could
drive the poison out.
Spearfish-Ranchers living along
the streams in this part of the Black
Hills are hoping the approaching SEES
sion OF the state legislature will re-
peal that section of the state game
law which provides for the procuring
a q license to trap muskrats. The
muskrats are proving a source of
great expense and annoyance to the
ranchers OF this vicinity, who build
dams In order to store water. The
muskrats are so that 1t
takes them but a little while to bore
holes through the dams and release
the water. One rancher states he is
out $1,000 from this source during
the last year.
Aberdeen-Another sad story of
the influenza epidemic is that of the
Brundage family of Aberdeen. Three
weeks ago this family consisted of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. N. Brundage and
their three children, consisting of
their son Ashley. 81 years old; their
only daughter. Norma. Is years old,
and their o Edward. aged 16.
Ashley was first stricken with the

officers all over the country have done
their best to save the dollars Of the
unwary from rascals. The United
States Treasury Department has re-
Gently spent much money and energy
in posting bills all over the land in
an effort to keep Liberty bond owners
from trading good securities for
worthless stock certificates. The Post
Office Department has a special bu-
reau to catch swindlers who use the
mail. In spite Of all these agencies
the thieves prosper.
The best insurance an investor can
have Is a highly developed sense of
suspicion, unfailing recognition of the
eternal fact that big returns mean big
risks, and an honest broker; and the
State must be careful not to put itself
In the situation Of helping rascals by
guaranteeing" or Endorsing" any Sc
curity issue, good or bad, except its
own legally issued notes and bonds,
which never appeal to those who are
looking for prodigious returns.

D,AKNUNzIo,s ADVENTURE.
Its Real Meaning BaffIes the Students
of the Snnerficial.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir. The
attitude of tho American press regarding
the D'Annunzio epic feat offers me an
interesting argument of observation.
Several newspapers are considering
and commenting on this grave matter
with that indifference which is inspired
by sense Of indigestible prejudice for
everything which Is Italian.
Others, boasting q ridiculous gravity,
regard this so-called adventure with af-
fected carelessness because this noble
and legendary act is too idealistic, un-
reachabIe to their confessed obtuslty. able
only to discuss matters Of a superficial
and materialistic nature. Their psyche
logical substance sloquently demon
strates their inability 20 write with that
serenity and benevolence essential in
commenting on matters of such gravity.
Other papers are suggesting coercive
measures to bring DAnnunzio to more
reasonable standing.
But these papers, in the paroxysm Of
their nothing else but rhetorical ampli-
flcation. are forgetting that many ex-
pedlents are false and inhuman in their
application and often result more dam
gerously to those that excogitated them
than to the individuals against whom
they are Intentionally directed.
Few others-yours included-are COM
menting on this matter with spirit Of
impartiaiity and benevolence. thus giving
proof Of fair disposition and elevated
sentiments when they regard this act as
the only logical and legitimate solution
of that thornful Fiume problem.
But what Is Mr.. Wilson,
closed in his enlgmatic and almost sin
lister silence, thinking?
The wilsonlan sphinx is perhaps In
bad humor because he, who had the Inn
pudence to make this Fiume question a
personal matter and thought. in an in
slant Of mental alteration. to subjugate
Italy with brutal and unthinkable inn
positions, must bear the remorse Of fu-
ture possibilities.
D'Annunzio's feat does not bear the
emptiness of Wilson's theories, but pos
sesses the substance of an accomplished
fact.
Isn't It interesting, the struggle be-
tween the will and compactness OF ma
tion against a man whose impotence
ought TO bring him the pity of the
world?
Accept, dear sir, my fervid thanks a1d
wishes. LOUIS NAVARRO,

Brooklyn Faces q Fact.

The people Of Brooklyn will have
soon a practical illustration of the
fact that In economics the eaten cake
does not remain on the plate. The
surface line systems of that borough
of infinite trolley wires will cease to
be a single more or lcss happy fam
lily. Each will be run for itself. Each
may ask a nickel.
Like many another tenant whose
income has not kept pace with ex.
penses, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company has to move out of Its
rented lines. 1t cannot get coal OF
employees for nothing. It finds the
public-or at least the officials who
arc supposed TO represent the pub
lic-unwilling to increase fares in a
world where everything else has gone
sky high.
After all, though, life in Brooklyn
is so attractive, from all we hear,
that it's people will not move away
because they may have to pay 10 or
Is cents for the ride that has been
costing a nickel. Some of them, how
ever, may come to the conclusion that
seven cents Is cheaper than ten.

Governor SMITH has invited a num-
Der of honorable gentlemen expert
enced In constructive financial opera
lions to inquire into the issuance of
fraudulent and worthless securities,
and suggest means by which the State
may curtail it considerably. The sub
ject is now Of peculiar interest and
importance. The money vultures who
prey on innocent investors have been
living high ever since the armistice
with Germany became effective. They
have turned the patriotic devotion
which put Liberty Bonds into the
hands of women and children into an
opportunity for barefaced robbery of
the poor, and have lined their pockets
with dollars which represent actual
deprivation undergone by thousands of
American citizens.
The SUN hopes these miserable
swindlers may be caught and pun
ished, and their wretched trade made
more difficult. We shall back up any
reasonable proposal which may be
made to protect honest persc"s from
tbS harpies who fatten on misplaced
confidence.
But all the statutes the Legislature
can enact and all the States horses
and all the States men can't keep
fools from throwing their money
Away. If the thieves can't come to
them, they will go to the thieves, and
rejoice on their journey. Every get

Let the weather seers study Man.

Uncle GID WRIGHT of Yates Centre
In Kansas says 1t is going to be a
cold winter. The possum's fur is ex-
ira thick, the ducks and geese are
making their move southwark early.
From other parts of the West come
stories Of rougher bark on the trees
and bigger larders laid up by squir-
rels. Monday was Michaelmas and
II did not rain; so the winter will not
be mild. On the other hand, the wind
was not from the north or east on
that day; so the winter will not be
cold. St Michael's Day forecasts
therefore, were q standoff.

ter" But the fall is young yet and
not abnormally warm. "As Septem-
Der, SO the coming March" That
won't be bad, although there has been
some rain. September rain Is good
for crops and vines" but this is not
believed In California. All the storms
in September cleared off warm, so all
the storms Of the winter will be warm.
What does Uncle GINS possum say
to that? "Much rain In October,
much wind In December; SO watch
the precipitation carefully. "Warm
Octcb Der, cold February" Frosty Oc-
tober, mild January" We can't have
everything.
But is the acorn crop heavy? Is
the corn hard to shuck? Are the deer
in gray coat? Are the pigs gathering
much straw for bedding7 Are rab-
bits fat? Do partridges refrain from
drumming? Is the skin on the cat
fish's belly thicker than usual? These
are all revered signs of hard win
ter. Watch the leaves this month,
and IL nany wither without falling,

1t Is odd that the weather prophets
who inspect trees and birds and beasts
for signs Of the winters hardness or
mildness never try to judge by the
appearance Of that interesting animal,
man. And yet he is the best sign of
coming winter distress or comfort. If
he has his coal in before October. has
money in the bank and thrift. stamps

An Argument and an Instance.

Great Britain jeers at Pussyfoot
JOHNSON and his Anti-Saloon League,
but the problem Of alcohol bothers
her not n little. Naturalization OF
making and selling is one remedy, and
the London Spectator in a recent ar
ticle urges it and argues:
"once the State was owner the
liquor problem would be in an in
comparably better position. The taps
from which the liquor flows could be
turned on and off as the public them
selves desired. The State for
Its part would keep It's hand on the
central tap ready to modify the flow
for the good of the nation. 1t might
cause local taps Ia be turned OF
during strikes or where there had
been riots"

the city of Omaha had been dry for

HOUSE PASSES COLD
STORAGE LIMIT BILL
Measure Bars Holding Food

WARRINGTON, Sept so. - Additional
legislation recommended by President
Wilson as a means OF reducing living
costs was passed to-day by the House
and sent to the Senate. 1t would limit
the time of holding foodstuffs in cold
storage to twelve months and require
that when released such food be plainly
marked with the date 1t was placed IN
storage.
The vote on the measure was 264 to 4.
The regulatory features of the bill will
become effective Immediately on its pas
sage, but ninety days for an adjustment
Of the business affected is allowed before
penalties will be applicable.
Vast quantities of food now in storage
are expected TO be released as soon as
the measure becomes a law. Cheese is
the only commodity exempted, the time
limit for storage to perfect aging being
extended for a longer period than one
year.
Persons convicted OF violating the law
would be fined $1,000 or imprisoned for
one year.
