FOOD PRICES BE-
GIN TO SHOW DECLINE
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR NOTES
A DORP OF 2 PER CENT
IN SEPTEMBER

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 21.-Food
prices are on the decline, the depart
ment of labor's bureau of labor sta
tistics has announced in a statement
asserting that the retail price of
twenty-five staple foodstuffs showed
a decline of per cent at the end of
September as compared with the last
of August.
The decrease, based on statistics
from all of the country, is the first
to be recorded since the world war
began with the exception of decline
in June, when food was five-tenths
of / per cent cheaper than in May.
Five cities of the country failed to
enjoy the slight decline, while in De-
troit prces were lowered per cent.
Onions and potatoes showed the
greatest price decline, of IT and IA
per cent, respectively. Cabbage,
meats, cheese, flour and sugar also
were lower. Raisins went up s per
cent during the month and were fol-
lowed in their climb to greater or
less degree by rice, eggs, salmon, but
ter, beans, canned vegetables, coffee
and corn meal

MOONSHINE dew
MAKERS FINED
BLACK HILLS MEN RECEIVE SEN
FENCES FOR MANUFACTURING
LIQUOR SUPPLIES

Deadwood, Oct. 21.-That il
comes high" to manufacture your
own liquor supply was discovered by
John Basso and Rudolph Cupich when
they were sentenced in the circuit
court here on the charge of making
moonshine liquor.
Basso was fined $1,000 and SEN
fenced to term of six months in
Jail. Cupich was fined $500 and
given similar term in Jail. The
Jail sentences in each case was sus-
pended during good behavior.
These were' the first cases of the
kind disposed of here since deputies
of the state sheriff's office recently
made roundup of several Black
Hills towns for the purpose of putting
a stop to the manufacture of home
made liquor, which ii is alleged had
recently become the genera lpractice
of liquor users of the Black Hills as
well as those of other parts of the
state.
Arthur DeColon entered a plea of
guilty to having liquor in his posses
sion and was fined $3.50 and SEN
fenced to six months In Jail. The
jail sentence in this case also was
suspended during good behavior.

DIVORCE CASES
ARE Set ASIDE
JUDGE TRIPP SUSPENDS ACTIONS
IN WHICH SOLDIERS ARE
DEFENDANTS

Yankton, Oct. 21.-Judge Trip
heard the attorneys in the soldier
divorce cases, wherein they appeared
on an order to show cause why the
DEGREES should not be set aside if
waivers were not filed by the sol
diers.
This came about under the sol
diers' moratorium, which exempts
all service men from judgment dur
ing such service and within one year
thereafter" or one year from the
close of the war.
After the hearing he ordered that
all these divorces be set aside and
the cases stand awaiting the expira-
tion of the year from the ending OF
the war, unless the soldiers file waiv-
ers of their rights as provided by the
late law, and until further order OF
the court.
Under an act of congress the war
does not end until formal procla-
nation is issued by the president
which cannot be until the senate
agrees on the provisions of the
treaty-so it will be year after
that before these divorces against
service men can hold unless they
waive their rights.

MADISON HIGH
FOOTBALL GAME
ANOTHER BIG GAME FRIDAY
MITCHELL HIGH THIS
TIME

The local high school foot ball
team emerged from the hard scrap
last Friday with Brookings in good
physical condition and is looking for
ward to another hard battle tbs week
with Mitchell high school as its op-
ponent. The boys have a good line
on the Mitchell bunch and realize
they will have TO play real foot ball
to win. Mitchell has played four
games so far this season, easily
winning all of them and its goal line
has not been crossed as yet. The
score of the games were: Planking-
ton 0, Mitchell SIS; Parker 0, Mitch
ell "a; Platte 0, Mitchell Sc; Ar
mour 0, Mitchell %.
From these scores it is very evil
dent that Mitchell has a scoring ma
chine that must be watched. The
local team has two hard scrimmages
ahead of it this week and is trying
out new formation. Coach Garges
gave the boys a rest from practice
last evening, having only a short
blackboard drill, but the hard work
will begin again this afternoon.

James oliver, aged 20, and a COM
panion, Ed Martin, both discharged
soldiers, held up at the pistol point
all passersby from sunset until near
midnight last night, robbing travel
ers, captured citizens who went out
to arrest them, fatally shot Deputy
Sheriff w. b. Mcintosh and finally
capitulated only after Oliver, him
self, had been wounded.
Realizing that his comrade was
slowly bleeding to death, Martin is
said to have ordered the captive cit
izens to take Oliver to Oltewas, where
he might be attended by physician.
After the citizens had started Mar
tin slipped away in the darkness.
When Oliver reached Oltewas in
dignant citizens placed a rope around
his neck and strung him to the limb
of tree. He at last broke down
and said that Martin was his accom-
plice.
After several automobilists had
been robbed early in the evening by
the two road agents citizens armed
themselves and went to the scene
only to be held up themselves.
Deputy Sheriff Mcintosh was one
of the first to attempt to arrest the
pair and was fatally wounded.

REMINDED OF HUN TANK
Hears the Bird and In Dreams Started
to Fight Again.

Ed Kramp, formerly assistant In the
fuel administration Office in Toledo, o.,
who returned recently from several
months service with an artillery or
ganization overseas, says the nrst
thing soldier tries to do after getting
home is to forget all about the scrap
over there.
Kramp thought he had blazing guns,
army rations, trench rats, coolies ana
Germans pretty well stored away In
the back of his memory until an ex-
perience the other night.
Kramp went to bed early. some
time during the. small hours particu-
larly noisy owl car came rattling and
clanking down the street past the
house. In his sleep Kramp got the Inn
preston that the Germans had sent q
tank over after him. and that the

over the top. He jumped up, seized q
chair. and started to fight the war all
over again.

TRY SIOUX CITY
BANK ROBBER
RUBE HI. CARNEY CHARGED
WITH LOOTING BANK AT
DEMPSTER

Sioux Falls, Oct. 21.-More than
ordinary interest attaches to a term
of circuit court which will convene in
Hamlin county this week, for it is
expected that during the term Rube
H. Cabney, of Sioux City, will be tried
on the charge of being implicated in
the robbery of bank at Dempster,
on the night of August 2, 1919.
Frank Boyles. former Sioux City
policeman, and Jack Syppli, his al
legged conferedates, entered pleas of
guilty several weeks ago and were
sentenced to long terms in prison.
in prison. They confessed the rob-
berry and told Cashier Cobel, of the
robbed bank, where he could find
the currency, which had been placed
in travelling bag and left in a corn
field near Dry lake. Cobel found the
money at the place indicated.
Cobney has steadily maintained
his innocence. Notwithstanding that
Boyles and Syppli in their confes-
sions stated positively that he was
one of the trio that robbed the bank.
1t is probable that Boyles and Syppli
will be taken into court and asked to
testify against Cabney. Whether
they still will insist on furnishing the
evidence necessary to convct him is a
matter Of speculation.
According to the confessions OF
Boyles and Syppli. Cabney knew even
before the trio left Sioux City that
they had planned to rob a bank In
eastern South Dakota. and they al.
legged he also received his portion oi
the several thousand dollars which
they obtained from the Dempstei
bank.
1t is said that part of Cabney'i
defense will be that he was hired te
drive the car In which l|oyles and
Syppli made the trip from Sioux City
to Dempster, and did not know where

CENSUS TO SHOW
GREAT CHANCES
Remarkable Shifts In Population
in United States Because
of European War.
CALCULATIONS ARE UPSET
Figures for 1920 Expected to Reveal
Striking Changes In Growth
and Character Of PopuIa-
ton of This Country.

Washington.--Strik changes in
the growth and character OF the popu-
lation of the United States are ex-
pected to be shown by the 1920 CEN
sus, preparations for which are under
way.
The shifting Of population because
of the war has upset the calculation
of census experts, who since 1917
have considered it useless to attempt
to estimate population OF any other
units than states. Before that 1t was
possible to predict with fair de-
gree of accuracy the number of per.
sons in any given locality.
The center of population" 1t is be-
lieved, has stopped its westward move
ment, which was continuous from 1790
to 1910. when it was located In Bloom
ington, Ind. This is because indus.
trial cities In the central east. such
as Cleveland and Detroit, have been
growing at greatly increased rate
during recent years. as have manu-
featuring centers farther east. For
merly, the Rocky mountain and Pa
cific coast states increased In popu-
lation with twice the rapidity of east
ern and central states.
Notifications Are Seen.
During this year, however, certain
notifications of the usual situation
may be made. The opening Of recla-
nation projects In the west. the re-
sumption of immigration, and other
causes. 1t is thought. will change the
abnormal distribution. There will also
be a tendency to return to normal
now that the war has ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the constitution of the popu-
lation"-the ratio of males to females,
the proportions Of native and for
eign stock and the age distribution.
When a city experiences rapid
growth due TO industrial and COM
mercial activity the gain In population
is largely made up Of persons in the
young and early middle ages. Among
these persons there will be more men
than women. For example, In Okla
homa City. where the population grew
nearly 500 per cent between 1900 and
1910. the ratio of males to females
In the latter year was 126 to 100, and
62 per cent Of the population was be-
tween Is and 45.
Percentage Of Negroes Drops.
The coming census is also expected
to show continuation Of the move
ment from the country to the city,
which has been going on for many dec
ades. A further decrease In the pro-
portion of negro population Is ex-
pected. In 1900 negroes numbered
11.6 per cent and in 1910 10.7 per
cent.
It is expected that the percentage
Of foreign-born will show a marked
decline. due to the discontinuance OF
immigration. In recent years the ma
tive-born population did not increase
as rapidly as the foreign-born. Fewer
persons will be found, 1t Is predicted
who are unable to speak English.
In 1910 this number was 2S8 pei
cent Of the population.
The law requires the census bureau
to make an actual count every ter
years, and an estimate for cities and
states every year by arithmetical pro
gression. Since 1917, however, the bu
reau has not estimated cities.

STOCK BRANDS TO BE
 ISSUED DECEMBER IF

Ed w. Stephens, secretary of the state live stock sanitary board, statea that he has issued the last call to the cattle owners to have their brands re-recorded. The final day set for receiving applications is December 12, and after that day the titles to brands will revert to the state. It is the belief of the secretary that over 50 per cent of the brand titles will re- vert to the state. No brand owner has reasonable excuse for not com plying with the law, as there is no charge for the re-recording of his brand, while there is a fee for the issuance of a new brand.
 For tile information of those who have heretofore made application for the re-recording of their brands, Stephens states that there is no need for them to feel uneasy if they have not received their certificates, as hundreds of them are now ready and will be mailed shortly. Much of the delay in the issuance of certificates has been due to the fact that the title has not been clear and that the bill of sale must be recorded before the cer- tificate could be issued.
