TO SELECT CEMENT
PLANT site SOON


Sioux Falls, Oct. 25.-Within the
next two or three weeks South Da-
kota will know just whether its spe-
cial commission, appointed to inyes-
tigate the subject, approves of state
owned cement plant, and If so, where
it recommends that the plant be es-
tablished.
Members of the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Norbeck under
the constitutional amendment adopt
ed last November and authorized by
the legislature, have just concluded
a trip of inspection.
The commission visited Chamber
Ian, Lake Andes and Yankton. AT
all three points they found unlimited
quantities of chalk rock than which
there is nothing better for the pro-
duction of cement. Chemist Shar-
wood took copious samples of the
chalk and a member of the commits
sion was dispatched to Iowa and Kan
sas poins to ascertain the cost OF
present production and the margin
of profit that can now be obtained
and little later will hold another
meeting when a full report will be
made and some decision reached as
to a state owned plant and site.

NEBRASKANS FAVOR.
INTERSTATE BRIDGE
OMAHA BUSINESS MEN WILL.
AID IN BUILDING BRIDGE
AT YANKTON

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 25.--Omaha
business men decided promptly at a
conference at/the chamber of COM
merce, with Executive Chairman
Brogan presiding. to support the
Yankton bridge project. AS to rail
line to reach it, Harrington men pro-
posed that the fifteen miles between
them and Yankton be covered. Nor
folk men suggested taking the aban-
doned Yankton, Norfolk & Gulf road
bed, saying the farmers would no
doubt give the old grade. There was
no division over this and the Harting-
ton men said no doubt both lines
would be worth while.
Omaha men unanimously support
ed the bridge project, and on motion
of F. H. Davis, Mr.. Brogan will name
a committee of perhaps twenty.
Money must be raised by private sub
scription among business men. Oma-
has share is put down at 100000.
Yankton and vicinity have subscribed

before Ypres on October rs. 1917,
while serving with Canadian troops
and through him hoped to procure

not hold out any hope of obtaining
these personal belongings which
should have been taken up the day
following the death of young Wheeler
and sent to place of safe keeping
That this was not done was due tc
the fact that the Canadians were be-

tain what is wanted.

1000 Quarts to be Diverted

BRATTLEBORO, VT, Sept. 80
Plans have been worked out by the
milk producers of this section for
changing their market from Boston
to Springfield, Mass, it was stated
today by County Agricultural Agent
Wayland P. Frost. The change goes
into effect Wednesday, on the expira-
ton of the contract with the Whit
ing and Elm Farm companies of
Boston.
The producers will accept an offer
of thea. H. Phillips Company of
Springfield, which will not contain
the surplus clause of the Boston con-
tract. BY this clause the price is re-
duced when milk is plentiful if the
shipments exceed a certain amount
There will be substantial saving in
shipping charges under the new plan.
The producers will divert about 1000
quarts a day from Boston to Spring.
field.
The New England Milk Producers
Association has given notice of an in
crease of half quart for October
milk and has promised another half
cent increase for November. The
producers now receive nine cents.
The increased price and the saving
under the new contracts will mean
about $4,000 to the producers in this
locality the coming year.

THIEF GOT $l9O
in BREAK AT
NEWPORT HOUSE
t.
Enters George Kittredge's
House and Gets Contents
of Two Pocket Books

During the absence of the family
a clever thief broke into George Kit
>tredge's house on Beebe road and got
away with $3.50. Mr.. Kittredge was
at the Layball farm cutting silo corn,
and Mrs. Kittredge had taken the
team and gone to Newport to carry
visitor to the train. Two little boys
sons of Rufus Brown, a neighbor, who
were watching cattle near by, said a
man asked them is Miss Kittredge
We're home. They replied that she
was not, that she had gone to New
port. On Miss Kittrcdge's return a
little girl came over to ask if she was
expecting company, explaining that
man had been walking back and
forth in the rear of the house and
looking in the windows on the back
porch.
Mrs. Kittredge at once looked at
the desk and found the lock forced
and two pocket books rifed of their
contents. The entrance was made
through wcodshed.
The Brown children described the
man as being of medium size, rather
light complexion, wearing a green
felt hat, and dark checked suit.
Mrs. Kittredge remembers meeting
a man, on her way down who might
answer this description. Another
party is reported to have seen man
walking rapidly on the upper road
toward Beebe and cut across field
toward the woods. Sheriff E. ]. Hill
was notified at once but up to last
night said he had no clue to the iden-
tity of the thief.
