Pierre, Nov. 22.-Out at Buffalo
Gap the people solved their coal
shortage temporarily, by taking pos
session of a car of coal. which was
billed to Rapid City, and distributed
it among those in need of fuel.
A record was kept of the amount
which went to each user. In fact,
the committee doing the distributing
required deposit sufficient to meet
the probable cost of the coal before

While that part of the state is near
an extensive supply of wood which
might be used for fuel, the complaint
is made that the roads are in such
condition as to make wood hauling
impractical.

Returned Soldier
Guilty of Murder

Dubuque, Ia, Nov. 22.-James
Townsend, returned soldier, was
found guilty of first degree murder
by jury in district court here last
night and was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. The jury was out five
and one-half hours.
Townsend killed his stepfathe1
Frank Crees, in a houseboat on the
river front last August. He fractured
his victims skull with window
weight, then dragged the body to the
river, tied rock weighing 100
pounds pounds around the body and
dropped it in the channel of the Mis-
sissippi. The body was found a week
later by fisherman.
On the night of the murder the
houseboat occupied by the Cress fam
lily burned.
Townsend's defense was that he
killed his stepfather in order to pro-

RULE OF BOLSHEVIk.

Archangel, Nov. 22.-The situation
in soviet Russia daily is growing
more serious. In several towns work
against ers are without employment
and, desperately hungry, have revolt
ed against the bolsheviki. The peo-
pie are living on vegetables.
The red terror is spreading
throughout the country. The red
army is becoming demoralized and
troops who were forcibly modified
are deserting in streams. Fugutives
are arriving in Archangel barefooted
and in rags.
The following summary has been
issued by general headquarters deal
ing with the operations on the MUIR
mansk coast during the past fort
night:
"Our troops have carried out an
uninterrupted offensive, defeating
the enemy and pursuing him along
the eastern shore of Lape Onejsby,
and capturing various places on the
chaulgsky peninsula. Attacks by an
enemy flotilla on these positions were
repulsed.
"The report that we proposed to
retire from the Muransk front is a
bOlshevik invention. In the Rigobel-
sky, sector on the railroad front, our
offensive is being ohstinately re
sisted"

MADISON NORMAL
EXTENDS USEFULNESS
WORKING METHOD OF CARRYING
UPLIFT TO THE PEOPLE.

The Madison state normal school
is extending its sphere of usefulness
in many directions, not alone to call
attention to the advantages it offers
ambitious young people in its respec-
tive class rooms, but to foster great
er interest in education generally in
this and adjoining counties.
President Heston and his staff of
instructors have devised working
method of carrying educational uplift
to the people through a well organ
lied extension department that is
now in active operation.
The Madison normal. through its
splendid location in the southeast
quarter of the state, is so situated
that 1t can be of great service to the
most densely populated section. It's
present student body is large. and
growing but the realization of vivid
opportunity, aside from its resident
work, has called it into field of
usefulness where extension courses
will lay the foundations. for still larg-
er attendance at the local institution
The newly organized extension di-
vision has its regular courses and
its staff of experts both of which are
at the service of cities, towns and
rural communities desirous of enjoy
ing special advantages.
The plan is quite comprehensive in
that it seeks to locate study centers
where the most proficient work un-
der specific courses can be accom-
plished, with proper credit for it's
object. Nor is this all that is en-
braced in the helpful work of the ex-
tension division. Correspondence
work will be made available to those
who seek self improvement, yet have
not time to receive resident ipstruc-
ton. Lecturers are to be SCI out
upon request and the entire WORK
the department is to be SO manage
that the Madison state normal m2
become widely known as live ana
growing institution.
Prof. F. A. Buechel is one of the
instructors who is vitally interested
in the extension phase of the nor
NAL schools great possibilities and
prospects. Last evening he made a
trip to Woonsocket to introduce ex-
tension work and speak of it's advan-
tages. DR.. Heston and he are anxi-
Gus to greatly enlarge the scope of
the normal. On Monday, Prof.
Buechel will be at Mitchell for the

CREASING OUTPUT.

ST. Louis. Mo-, Nov. 22.-Redut-
tion of freight rates on coal during
summer and a sliding scale Of coal
prices, with lower charges in sum-
mer, were advocated today in resolu-
tions presented to the American Min
ing congress as means of reducing the
price of coal and increasing produc-
ton so that miners would have con-
tinuous work throughout the year,
thereby assisting in allaying indus
trial unrest at the mines.
A resolution was presented to the
industrial committee urging author
tiles ''to enforce to the limit all ex-
listing laws that deal with anarchy
and seditious utterances and acts"
Speakers urged that congress inn
pose heavy tariff on war minerals"
imported to this country to enable
owners of such mines to compete with
foreign shipments.
The gold conference submitted a
resolution asking congress to improve
roads in gold mining districts, assert
ing that 80 per cent of the gold mines
in the United States virtually were
inaccessible.

as cure for radicalism in an address
by E. d. Calkins, of Washington,

better living conditions in mining
towns, asserting that sanitation will

Black Hills Miners
Want More for Gold

Deadwood, Nov. 22.-Low cost of
gold which has been worrying min
ing companies In the Black Hills re-
gion, has caused the Deadwood Busi-
ness club to inaugurate a state move
ment to urge South Dakota members
of congress to lead fight for high
er price for the yellow metal Black
Hills mining operators and miners
have indorsed the action of Deadwood
business men.
Inability to compete with other
mining companies in the matter of
wages, Is said to have curtailed the
production of gold in this district.
When the prices of silver and copper
advanced during the war period, and
the value of gold remained stationery,
many miners left the Deadwood and
Lead fields to take advantage of in
creased wage offers elsewhere.

The first step necessary to destroy
the mites is to get rid Of the hiding
places as far as possible The roosts
should be taken down and all un-
necessary boards and boxes remoy-
cd and burned. In heavily infest-
ed houses the mites are to be found
in all parts Of the building, includ-
ing the roof, and to get rid Of these
a large barrel pump or large spray
er is necessary. A rather coarse
spray should be applied from all
angles and thoroughly driven into
the cracks.
Pure kerosene and kerosene emul-
sion in double strength ordinarily
applied to infested places will des.
troy all mites hit, but these sub
stances have not body enough to
destroy those which are in more
protected situations and several ap-
plications Is needed to destroy all
the mites, Arsenical dips, such as
is used to destroy cattle ticks, has
been found fairly satisfactory for
use against chicken mites. In re-
gions where cattle dipping is prac-
ticed and this solution Is readily
available, It is perhaps the most
convenient and cheapest material
to use. Uf course due care ahould
} be taken to avoid the accidental
