G,iebr...d Coming Of May

ln'incient Rome May day was 8
signal for celebration of the goddess
Floralia, the deity pervading all the
dowery kingdom, which ever at this
time had new inspiration in tho
flight Of pollen for fresh beauty in
color and form. In the legend Of
Robin Hood 'embalmed by Sir Wal
ter Scott and others, the characters,
Maid Marian, Little John, Tom the
Piper, Hobby Horse, the Lord and
Lady Of May, danced around the
Maypole.
In Germany and other continen.
tai European countries, flowers were
'strewn in the streets as the cele-,
brants danced, and in the dead Of
night frolicsome youths would 60 to
the forests and select the most stal.
wart sapllngs, fetch them to the CEN
ter of the town, strip them Of
branches and reclothe them with
wreaths and garlands, and in Eng
land a similar ceremony gave rise to
homely songs for the children, such
Is "Here Oats, Beans, Peas and Bar.
ley Grow" suggestive of the new
birth Of homely as we'll as ornamen-
tai things. And the deliver in these
mysteries may be interested to be
told that the sweet folk tale of Rob-
In Hood and Maid Marian had .

Cattle Thieves Bound
Over to Circuit Court
Sufficient Evidence Brought Out Aga;pst
Wakpala and Mobridge Men to Hold
Them to Circuit Court

The preliminary hearing given
|the Wakpala cattle rustlers 1T Nc.
Intosh last week resulted in Rich
ard Howard, jerome Caddotte,
Gust Stripped Face, Ed. Lamont,
Brown Takes the Gun, Fred Lane
and Pete Frazier being bound over
to the next term of circuit court.
The bail of each was fixed at $500
which was furnished by all the
men.
This case has occasiened no lit.
tie interest due to the extensive
operations Of cattle thieves in that
section who have hitherto succeed
ed in evading the authorizes, and
it is hoped by ranchers that the
arrest Of these fellows will put an,
end to the cattle rustling.
The arrests were made at WAX
pala two weeks ago on evidence
brought out by Sam Long, farmer
in charge Of the Wakpala district,
When Brown Takes the Gun was
taken into custody he turned
states evidence and implicated the
other five men in the theft of sew
eral cattle from Chas. Hartinxer
and F. Godfrey. These cattle were
driven across the river 10 ,Mobridge
where they were slaughtered and
the beef sold to residents. When
the case is tried in circuit court it
probable that light will be thrown
on number Of other cattle thefts
in the neighborhood.
The prosecution of the case is ID ID

||c ||ecliffe assisted by Bartlett. 4 Van.

and Julius Skaug Of Mobridge rep.

States Grain Standards Act uni.
form grades for wheat and shellcd
corn have been established through
out the United States and these
grades are determined By the same
methods, whether the grain ia Rra.
ded at small market in the in
terror or at terminal elevator on
the Atlantic coast.
The grading of all wheat and
corn that moves across state lines
is supervised BY. government rep
resentatives in the markets, and it
is said that the application Of the
standards to country point trans.
actions, as we'll as those in the
large markets, has already resulted
in more economic handling of these
crops and should give the farmer a
premium grade for premium grain.
Federal grades are now used by all
inspection departments and are an.
piled to all wheat purchased by the
Food Administration Grain Co.
poration.
Although Federal supervision Of
grain grades un.ler the Grain Stan.

in front of a faucet. 1t kept on

Another time, while I was waiting
