REACH AGREE
MENT IN SERVING
Telephone Company
Cannot Afford to Act
as Alarm Clock
OTHERS ANNOYED

The public have been very much
disappointed over the Jack of SER
vice at the telephone office and de-
pot, when they wanted to find out
what time it was or find out where
there was fire. There was time
when a person could ring up the
operator at the telephone office and
find out the time Of day or when a
train was due or whether the train
was on time. People used to depend
on this service to keep track Of be-
lated trains and sometimes a be-
lated train might pick up some lost
time and people would get left, then
they blamed the telephone operator
and it became unpleasant.
Depended on Calls for Trains
People wanting to board night
train sometimes made arrangements
with the night operator to be called
in time to catch that train and if
she happened to be busy and did not
call them just on time they would
get left and be sore at the telephone
company. This often happened

Following Our Lead
In Electrical Action
Use of Electricity for Heating Be
ing Discarded ON the
MinadOka Tract
IMPROVEMENT UNWARRANTED

According to the Burley Bulletin
of the fourth of April, that city is
just about decided to lose all it has
expended for transformers and
electric wiring for use of electricity
for heating purposes.
The bulletin says the time has
come when the town will have to be
re-wired to carry the load, and that
will cost from $4,000 to $4,000,
and is unwarranted under the con-
ditions. Then there is some other
equipment to be installed to handle
it properly, and as the city was al
ready losing money even on the
cheap government service it had
been taking advantage of, it now ap-
pears necessary to double the cost
to the consumers or 60 on taxing
the non-users to ufrnish current for
the users. Or to put it in another
way, the big store that uses much
heat, gets 1t at loss to the city gov
ernment, and the city government
levies more tax on the man with
some lots and property not requir-
ing SO much heat, and he helps to
pay for the service of the big store.
It is just one more example of the
injustice of the Socialistic schemes
that have been preached SO much in
recent years, whereby the public got
government lights, government
water, government envelopes, gov
ernment newspapers, government
transportation, and higher prices for
poorer service.
The City Of Burley will unload
and quit. The town of Bellevue took
a vote on just such venture and
only thirty votes were cast for it, 80
they quit by losing only the cost of
the election.

SHERIFF MUST PAY BILL

South Dakota has a peculiar Law
which prescribes that the EXPENSE
mileage, etc, incurred by a sherii
in an unsuccessful attempt to serve
a criminal warrant cannot be paid BY
the county. 1t is supposed the law
makers intended to thus make a sher
if diligent in bis work. In actua
practice the law has the very oppo
site effect. When a case seems un
likely of accomplishment the sheriff
is not very anxious TO pursue his man
with much attendant expense, know
ing that he will have to foot the bill
il the man is not taken and the Grim
inal warrant cannot be served. Upor
inquiry to the attorney general as t
whether the law can be construed Sc
as to meet the expense Of the sheriff
in the unsuccessful cases, he replies
that it cannot be done.

BOOSTING EDUCATION

With the impetus gained from the
national conference here this week,
Fred L. Shaw. state superintendent of
instruction and his force temporarily
working in the office of the county
superintendent of schools at Sioux
Falls, are fast completing plans for the
statewide three weeks drive for rural
education that commences in South
Dakota October 81. OF the seventy
to eighty speakers who will take part
in the drive which is to cover every
county in the state, carrying direct
to the parents the Importance of in
sisting that their children receive a
better education, each Is being spe-
cially trained here in a school of in
.struction. Special charts which graph
the state department form contrasts
that make a deep impression and tell
truths that cannot be avoided or de-
MED, are provided these speakers.
When the average farmer learns
what the consolidated school idea
stands for and its practical way of
educating the rural child his objections
are overcome. One of these charts de-
seribes the course taught in the modern
consolidated rural school as follows:
First year: Crops-How seeds grow,
depth to plant, corn, oats, alfalfa,
weeds, gardens, canning, dairying.
Second year: Making things-Rope
knots, splicing rope, cement tanks,
steps and posts, farm tools and ma
chimes, sewing and removing stains.
Third year: Live stock-Animals,
poultry, birds, insects, cooking.
Fourth year: Soil, home and com
munity-Soil fertility. cultivation, SAM

MONEY VALUE OF CROP

South Dakota's crops of corn, oats
wheat and fax raised during the past
season, will retail at present prices
at a total of 1924, 900 100, according
to the October estimate of crop con,
ditions, a. IssGci by the United States
department Of agriculture. This sum
would be sufficient to furnish each of
the twenty millions of families in the
United States with n ton of soft
coal. II used for Injuries, and divided
equally among the hundred million
people in the United States, each per
son would receive 1924, or enough to
pay for a 81 seat at a good show, with
plenty left over for the war tax. The
value of the South Dakota crop of
this year is only about two-thirds as
as ~unfavorable weather conditions cut
the wheat crop to about one-half the
amount of last year.
Corn, the principal crop of the
state in number of bushels raised, and
in total value, yielded 102, 9O3 ,00d
bushels this year. Valued at $1.25
per bushel this crop is worth $685.
628,75O. The 1918 estimate at that
time vas for 1~O8,188,O00 bushels
which exceeds the crop of the present
year by 5000, 900 bushels. In quality,
the corn of this year is Z per cent
better than the tenyear average, as
the present crop is So per cent per
feet, while that of the past ten years
has averaged 81 per cent perfect.
A total of 30,368, 900 bushels of
wheat have been raised in the state
during the year. At 500 per bushel,
this is worth $63, 772, 800. The wheat
crop of the state equaled only about
half of that value for 1918, when one
of the record yields of the states
history resulted, and 69,350,000 bushels
of wheat were raised. This decrease
in the crop total was not due entirely
to a poor crop, but was partly caused
by a decrease in acreage. The aver
age yield per acre was s bushels this
year, while that of the ten years pre-
ceding has averaged 11.9 bushels. In
quality, the wheat only averaged 70
per cent as compared with IS per cent
the tenyear average.
Oats bring a high total in bushels
but do not increase the to.al of the
crop values so greatly, as the average
price is but 81 cents per bushel. The
crop total for the rear was 60.755 900
bushels, valued at $37, $50. Last
year the entire oats yield was $780,
900 bushels, a third greater than tht81
OF this year. The quality of the cxUI
was sc per cent this year, as -aGuJ
pared with SO per cent perfect, On
ten-year average.
Flax will bring $544,440, 900 into ~
banks of South Dakota this year w1AJ
a total yield of $1,361,000 bushe ~
This is valued at 81 per bushel .seH
cording to prevailing market priced
This years flax crop is nearly tlAQ
same as that of 1918, when 1861 x'
bushels were produced. The fax qu;
ity is far above that of the averaS ey
for the past ten years as it is 50 p I'd
cent perfect this year, as compare &
with 70 per CEN during the past tt61|
years.
