Practically all of the 23,00O,O00 dairy
COWS in the United States can be bred
to pure-bred sires at less cost than
grade bulls are costing their owners
at present, declare specialists in the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. Not
only that, but the amount CT dairy pro-
ducts can in few years be greatly in
creased without increasing the number
Of dairy cows or the cost Of production.
How can this be done? Simply by dis
carding all grade and scrub bulls and
breeding dairy cows to nothing but
good pure bred sires with ancestors
possessing high-production records.
"But can't afford to own a pure
bred bull" says Mr.. Average Farmer.
Il keep only six cows. There isn't a
purebred bull within 10 miles Of my

So how can hope ever TO improve my

The community bull association is
the answer to Mr.. Average Farmers
question. While few farmers can
afford to own or use a $1,000 bull
any farmer can afford to own a share
in one, even if he owns only OF 5
cows By belonging to bull associa-

TRAIN CRUSHES
TWO CONDUCTORS

Whitewood Plaindealer: A sad
accident occurred on the local
division at Smithwick. when
Conductors Ed Sweat and Rob-
ert Dale were killed. The cause
of the accident was peculiar. Ed
Sweat was in charge of a south
bound freight, and had instruc-
tions to pull in at Smithwick for
a northbound freight. While
pulling in one of the couplings
became unloosened, thus block
ing the main track. The two
conductors proceeded to fix
same up, and while SO doing the
air brakes released, causing the
train to move slowly, crushing
Mr.. Sweat and running over Mr..
Dale. Mr.. Sweat was favorably
known to all railroad men of the
Hills and his untimely death was
a great shock to all here. Both
left farlilies at Chadron.

.OIL BOOM CONTINUES;
STOCK SALE BARRED

Pierre.-The coil boom" in the
northwestern part of the state
apparently is yet going" pro-
position, without any practically
definite idea as to what there is
in it. But it is good so far for
the organization of a number OF
companies which will be offering
stock to investors, with alluring
pamphlets, if the companies car
get past the state securities conn
mission.
So far none of them have got
over the barrier and secured any
permission to sell stock in this
state, but that in no way ham
pers them in offering what they
have to sell. in other states
There may be oil in that section
but it has never been proven
and the rush to lease the whole
country is much like that which
went on in this part of the state
shortly after natural gas was
discovered in the artesian flow
and thousands of acres were
leased by would-be promoters
but no actual development work
was ever attempted by any OF
them.

GETTING AT THE H. C. l..

In response to a resolution in
troduced by Senator Norris, of
Nebraska, the Federal Trade
Commission has transmitted to
the Senate it's report to the
President in June, 1918. The re-
port shows that the commission
found the maximum profits for
the five largest packers under
the Food Administration regu-
lations were "unreasonably high.
These rates of profit are esti-
mated to be from two and one
quarter to three times as great
as those earned in the pre-war
years of 1912, 1913, and 1914"
The commissioners report to
the President also stated that
at that time the plan of regula-
tion made adequate certification
impossible and that in order to
safeguard the public interest
the plan SHOULD be changed"

PRINTERS DEVIL EXTINCT!

There is no such thing as a
printers devil any more, and If
the shop is ever swept out, win
doWs washed, errands run, it is
a case of the editor doing it., or
it is undone.
The old time printers devil is
now in a school of journalism
somewhere. His ambition is to
write poetry, or sketch a scenar-
10 for the screen man. This ID
all fine but it leaves the floor un-
swept, the windows unwashed,
the dead galleys full, and the Of
fee cat lonesome.
When the devil gets back
from college he can take the edi-
torial chair and the old man who
has kept the sheet to the breeze
will have time to sweep out,
provided he can get money en-
ough together to buy a broom.

Haak0n County To Be Model
Farm Bureau County

Farm Bureau News: While
at the Extension Conference at
Huron we were informed that
Haakon County had been chosen
by the State Office as one of
three model Farm Bureau coun-
ties of the state, Minnehaha and
Faulk being the other two.
The idea is to complete the
Farm Bureau organization as we
have started it with the COM
munity as the basis instead of
the county officers trying to de-
eide upon the problems each To-
cality has to solve. The plan is
for a few interested men and
women to get together in each
of the fourteen communities.
Mr.. Underwood of Brookings
will be here to help with these
meetings from September 20 as
long as we need him. This COM
mittee will probably make a list
of the chief sources of income,
then the limiting factors to
these incomes, also possible re-
medies for the limiting factors.
This will form a good basis for
outlining program of work for
next year so that we could really
get some where. Leaders for
these projects will also be sug-
gested at this time. Later when
the Short Course meetings are
held the work of this committee
can be acted upon so that every
one may have some say, thus
making it a real community
program.
Some time before the annual
meeting in December, the COM
munity chairmen can meet and
form the community outlines
formulate an effective county
program of work and suggest a
Board Of Directors. This in trun
will be voted upon at the an
nual meeting at which time
every Farm Bureau member in
the county will have an oppor-
tunity to say what the County
Agent and Home demonstration
Agent will do during the year.

MECHANICAL WONDER

The Canteen, the popular soft

hall managed by Hal d. Whea-

chanical player, piano and violin
combined, that is nothing short
of marvel. Those who have
listened to it's sweet tones are
struck with it's perfection. 1t is
the premier, easily, of all me-
chanical players.
The Casper, Wyo., Herald
has the following to say regard
ing similar instrument in
stalled in Casper's leading hotel.
"The Violano- Virtuoso, the in
vention of A. K. Sandell, a Swe-
dish electrician who is the mas
ter electrician of the entire
world. Not the least feature of
the Violano- Virtuoso is the won
derful self-tuning device of the
l,violins. Regardless of tempera-
Fture the violins are always in
in tune with the piano. The vio-
lins play solos, duets, trios or
quartetts, and the most difficult
classical selections are rendered
as easily as simple melodies.
There seems no end to it's possi-
bilities.
"Aesop tells us wonders nev-
er cease and surely the Vio-
lano-Virtuoso is a most wonder
full wonder. Tersely, it is a bear.

ARMY TANKS RUST
MORE ORDERED

Testimony before the war in
vestigating committee of the
House reveals that the Govern
ment has 1850 tanks under con-
struction at the present time. It
was not divulgeds to what pur-
pose they are to be applied, nor
was it disclosed why the great
feet of tanks now parked at
some of the cantonments in this
country is not sufficient for our
present defense and for any con-
tingencies that may arise in the
future. At Camp Meade, the big
replacement depot between
Washington and Baltimore, hun
dreds of these war machines
are collected. A few of them are
in sheds with no sides, few
more have canvas tarpaulins
thrown over them, but the grea-
ter number are in the open en-
tirely unprotected from the
weather. Those that are not
covered with camoufiage paint
are red with rust. All sorts of
tanks are there arranged in
rows, the biggest type being a.
bout equal in numbers to the
little whippets. Republicans are
asking why the Government
must spend millions of dollars
for additional war machines,
while a tremendous fleet is al
ready on hand rusting in the
rain?

BUY SMALL TOOLS IN ONE
LOT; TIME TO LIST THEM

Few farmers realize the ex-
tent of their investment in small
items of equipment, says the
United States Department of
Agriculture, or the inconveni-
ence involved in buying them
singly or in small lots. In plann-
ing the farm equipment, due
consideration should be given to
the necessary outlay for those
minor tools.
There is no better time for
getting the list completed than
the late fall, after harvest work
is over. If possible, the articles
should be purchased all in one
order. This will save time and,
usually, money. Also, it will en-
tail a total expenditure suffici-
emily large to impress the buy
er with the Importance of Civ
ing systematic care to his small
tools. For a general farm Of 160
acres, the necessary minor
tools, ranging from q husking
peg to q grindstone, will cost
from 500 up to the neighbor-
hood of 5000.
The department has publish
ed, in Farmers Bulletin Sig, q
list Of articles of minor equip
ment needed on farms, with the
approximate cost per article.
The list is divided into articles
suggested as essential" and FAR
ticles not essential, but very
desirable The total cost o1
articles suggested as essential
is $114.7O. Recent advances ID
the prices Of some articles may
somewhat increase the total.
