Number Of Harvest Hands For
South Dakota Sufficient

Pierre, July 22.-There is apparent
prospect OF securing a sufficient num-
Der of harvest hands for South Da-
kota this year. and the needs seem
very we'll met at this time, according
to an announcement issued by Charles
McCaffree, federal director of the I'm
tied States employment service for this
state.
Regarding the continuance of the
federal employment service, the state
ment says: "The appropriation for
the United States employment service
was greatly reduced beginning the
first of July. from the amount un-
der which it had been operating. The
reduction was so great in South Dako-
Ia that it was impossible to continue
the branches entirely as federal Of
fees, so a cooperative arrangement
has been made by which the federal
government, the state of South Dako-
ia, and the local city or county in
which the Office is located, are cooper
ating. There are six Offices in South
Dakota, all of which have been con-
tinued under this arrangement, and
are continuity to serve their COM
munities They are at Sioux Falls,
Mitchell, Huron. Watertown, Aberdeen.
and Rapid City. The federal directors
ONCE is in the state capitol, and from
there the plans for handling the har-
vest labor are being defeloped.

1920 CAMPAIGN
SOON UNDER WAY
Next Primary Election To Be Held In
March

Sioux Falls. S. d., July 21.-The
Richards primary election law, which
will govern the nominations for next
years elections In South Dakota, will
require the primary election campaign
to open UGH earlier than was the case
under the primary election law which
1t displaced. Under the old law pri-
mary elections were held in June Of
election years, but under the new RI
chards primary election law the pri-
mary election will be held next March.
However, the precinct meetings held
in November, when delegates are elect
ed to county conventions for the pro-
posal of majority and minority candi-
dates, will make the November meet
ings OF the utmost Importance, and
these will largely determine the result
OF the March primary election.
Thus. only a little more than 80
days intervene until these November
meetings. and this will have the effect
of causing the primary election cam
paign to open almost at once Already
plans are being made by candidates to
protect their interests at the Novem-
Der precinct meetings and at the coun-
ty conventions which follow these
meetings closely.
One of the interesting features of
the republican campaign centers
around the Office Of governor and the
identity of the probable nominee for
this office. Governor Peter Norbeck Ia
serving his last term rs governor and
is a candidate for nomination and cleo
ton to the United States senate.
One of the leading republican candi-
dates for nomination as his successor
of governor is w. H. McMaster OF
Yankton. who at the election last No
vember, was elected to his second term
as lieutenant governor.
Another republican candidate for
nomination to the ONCE of governor
is Allen r Fellows. q businessman Of
Sioux Falls. Carl Gunderson, former
ly Of vermilion, but now Of Mitchell,
is also an ayowed candidate.

IS SENATORS
OPPOSE TREATY
Treaty May Be Entirely Rejected I'm.
less Radical Amendments Are
Adopted

Washington, Jluy 21...To back
their assertion that the League OF
Nations in its present form is doomed
opposition leaders, it was learned to-
day, have offered to furnish President
Wilson with a list of 35 Senators
who have solemnly pledged them
selves to vote for the rejection of the
whole treaty unless radical amend
ments or reservations are adopted.
Ratification of a treaty requires a
t%wo-thirds vote. Thirty-five senators
would be two more than enough to
reject the treaty. The senators whose
names appear on the list are in most
instances the same as those who sign
ed the Lodge round robin last marcia
and forced the revision of the O v
enant by the Paris peace conference
Each of these senator's, it was stated,
hoo 6iFCh hS pAcu6c III cuCu loIm do
to show his determination to vote
against the treaty in its present form
at any risk or cost to his political
future
Republican senators who con-
ferred with President Wilson offered
to give him the list to support the in
formation they gave to the effect that
the covenant could not be ratified
without reservations.
The president nevertheless takes an
optimistic view of the prospect. His
spokesman today denied reports to
the effect that the president had ca
bled to the other powers asking IL
they would be wiling to accept Inter
pretations" by the senate, and insisted
the president had no thought of COM
promise.
Concessions by the administration
were a long way Off was stated.
Nothing of the kind would be forth
coming unless an absolute deadlock
should develop over the treaty, and
administration leaders said they were
confident no such contingency would
arise.
Conferences to Be Resumed
Despite the fact that canvas showed
the president had made no inroads on
the opposition Secretary j. p. Tumulty
said the president had authorized him
to say he was very much pleased with
his conferences with republican sena-
tors during the last two days. There
were no conferences today, but it was
stated at the White House the presi-
dent had no thought of abandoning
them and would extend other invita-
tons next week.
r viewing the developments of the
first week of the treaty in the senate,
opposition leaders declared that the
fight was taking on a new aspect.
Sentiment for the rejection of the
whole treaty is growing they said.
Careful study of the text of the docu-
ment is revealing SO many obnoxious
features, they stated, as to create
doubt whether American interests
a be amply protected by mere re-
servations or amendments.

decisions.
The new pitcher on the Miller team,
Jack Hubbard, pitched a very good
game, allowing but three hits. and
striking out six men. But for a series
of errors made in the third inning,
the score would have read very diff

another game with Pierre, the game

How You Can Convert
Your Govt Insurance

The 30 year endowent policy carries
with it. the same provisions as the
20 year endowment policy. The in
sured is looking forward 80 years and
expects at the end of that time to
receive the face value of that policy.
He also knows that he has protection
in the even he should die during that
time. This policy is far better for the
average man than the 20 year endow-
ment. II costs him considerably less
and he is spreading his premium pay
ments over a period of 80 years rather
than 20, and therefore, the burden is
much easier. He has protection on
his policy 10 years longer and 1t ma
lures at a better age.
The yearly premium or each $1,000
Of insurance on the Government pol
icy is as follows:
Age 20-$24.33.
Age 25-$24.69
Age 3~0--$25.40.
Age 35-$26.46
Long Term Endowment
The last policy to be considered Is
the long term endowment which ma
lures at age 81. The insured pays
premiums on this policy until he is
81 years old, at which time he receives
the face Of his policy in a lump sum.
This policy is purely an old age pol
icy. 1t provides absolutely for that
period in life which is SO much neg
lected Age So is the logical time for
an insurance policy to mature because
this age marks the end of a mans
working days and therefore, he needs
something to replace his earning pow
err. Statistics prove that about one
person out of twenty-five at this age,
is Independent and this fact proves
how essential 1t is for a man to carry
this type of policy. Insurance Is a
business that eliminates the possibility
Of the loss of a mans earning power.
This earning power may be lost either
through premature death, disability, or
old age. These are the three contin-
g~encies that a man wishes to guard
against in insurance and this long
term endowment, which natures at
age 81. meets every n OF these three
requirements. A man is very conserv
alive by the time he reaches this age
and he is not apt to lose this money
IN reckless speculation.
Rate on each $1,000 Is as follows,
Age 20~--$17.01.
Age 25-$19.S5.
Age 30-$23.76.
Age s~5--$2s.sO.
