The Lady of the Night Wind
tCopyrlght, 1919, by the Macaulay Coz
(CopyriEht. 1919. by the Public ledger Co.
THIS STARTS THE STORY

A week end house party is being
) held at the country home of Kath-
crime and Bingham Harvard. Among
the guests is one Conrad Belknap.
Katherine discovers him cheating ut
cards and orders him to leave at once.
He refuses to do so scornfully. He
seems to exert a peculiar influence
over her. Convinced that he is con-
cealing his real identity and that he
Is there for some Interior purpose,
Katherine determines to ferret out
the mystery. She has formerly had
experience as a police headquarters
detective and has been known as Lady
Kate of the Police. She intcrccpts a
telephone call of Bclknap's to
woman and learns her full name and
address. Realizing that he is sus-
pected by Katherine, Belknap threat
ems to expose the fact that Rather
ines brother. Roderick Maxwilton,
who is believed by his parents to be
dead, faces a term in prison. Bing-
ham Harvard, who once bore the title
of the Night Wind, becomes sus-
picious of Belknap and of Rather
ines attitude toward him. Belknap's
confederate, Bcrta, or Roberta, ar
rivcs on the scene under the name of
Senorita CervantCz, pianist who is
to entertain the guests. She pre-
tends to be dumb and writes her
words on pad of paper. Her action
mystifies Bcknap. Harvard attacks
Belknap one night after he has re-
ceivcd notes from both Katherine and
Roberta from a balcony of the house.
Belknap does not recognize his as
sailant.

MAKING RAIN WITH A
TANNING MILL.

One Of the best rain.making machines
is the tanning mill, asserts ]. g. Hutton,
associate agronomist at the state expert
ment station. The tanning mill takes
weed seeds out-and weeds are the great
est consumers of rain.
Matthew Fowlds, seed analyst at the
experiment station, recently found Is
kinds of weed seeds in a wheat sample
and one weed seed for every l6 kernels
of wheat ranging from mustard to quack
grass. There were about 100000 weed
seeds in FIVE pecks ofwheat--the amount
required to SOW an acre-enough to have
nearly three weeds for every square foot
of ground. Since weeds are better fitted
| to take water from the soil than other
plants, it is easy to predict the future of
| that wheat.
The farmer who sows clean seed this
spring will lave more than one good
shower to his credit If dry season
comes.

A PARTING WORD
Custer County Local Exemption Board
Closes Office and Goes Out
of Business.

On Tuesday Of this week the Records
of Custer County Local Board was ship
| ped to Washington and the Board ceases
to be on the 3lst of March. Custer
County sent to Camps l54 men through
the Board. Nearly 1000 men Register
ed during the two years of the war
period Seven men became deserters,
one a negro, one an Indian and the rest
non-residents who had registered here
while at work. In this farewell word to
the public the Board wishes to express
their appreciation for all the assistance
given by various people during the ardu-
Gus task which was laid upon them.
Through all, we found the newspapers
| in the County always ready to give out
the news, and thereby keep the people
informed of all the responsibilities ofthe
Service. Especially was this the case
with the home paper, as often the calls
would come too late to be sent to the
papers at distance and the home paper
was always ready even at the cost Of
added labor and effort to cooperate. We
would also express an appreciation to
the County Commissioners who carried
the local expense, furnished rooms in
the Court House, placed phone at our
disposal aud otherwise added to the con-
venience of the Board as far as possible.
Then we shall always look with pleasure
to the Volunteers who came in at the
hurry up" times and gave the needed
assistance This was especially true of
the Teachers in our public school who
gave unstintedly oftime whenever called
upon. We feel in this instance We
should mention especially the work of
Miss Repass and Miss Beshe of the
Grade school and Miss Stewart and Miss
Hutchinson of the High School, all Of
whom it were a pleasure to ask, they
were so ready to serve.
1t would not do to close this word
without expressing the high apprecia-
ton of the attitude of the fathers and
mothers of these fine fellows who vent
! from this Board. With hardly an ex-
ception they gave these boys to their
country with as high sense of patriot
! ism as was ever witnessed anywhere in
the world. We can never forget the
parting scenes and of the courage of
these mothers to whom the call of their
country was as the voice of God. Both
in the parents and the sons we have
seen that which must forever give a
higher respect for that spirit dwelling in
the human heart which can look out up
on the future, dark and full of tragedies
and yet face it with a smile and sublime
courage 1t was altogether time of
great experience and trial to all and
while we are conscious Of many mistakes
in the administration of the Seleclive
Service yet we knew at all times the
sympathy and confidence of the people
were on our side in trying to do our part
in the great war. We have made many
happy and lasting friends and Custer can
look with pride on the war record of the
sons and also their parents.

ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE.

Percy Ii. Helm, VINO has recently re-
turned from attending the session Of the
Legislature as the Senator for Custer and
Fall River counties, states that he is
very much pleased with the work the
Legislature did and that he enjoyed the
experience. Mr. Helm in his own words
says:
"The Sixteenth Legislature probably
had the .aost momentous affairs before
it and to handle of any legislature since
the organization of the state. This was
caused by two factors; one, the war con.
ditions prevailing; the other, the many
constitutional amendments voted favor.

election.
"While the work was very heavy

friendships aud associations that form.

The Legislature appropriated a large
sum Of money. Much Of this was for
the purpose Of putting into effect the
constitutional amendments, such as the
cement products proposition, the coal
and the water power for the purpose oi
furnishing light and heat to the entire
state. Of the appropriations for various
institutions Custer county received more
than any other county in the state The
appropriations were as follows: Tuber,
cuIosis Sanatorium: Building and i'm
provements, Sl45, 700; maintenance for
two years, $l48,OOO; deficiency main
tenance, $4,000, For the State Game
Preserve, 100000. For construction OF
road through the State Game Preserve,
$4,000.
"In this connection | wish to state
that Mr.. William Miner, representing
this county in the House, rendered very
valuable aid in securing the appropria-
tions for the Sanatorium and worked
hand in hand with myself and others
from the Black Hills for the State Park
appropriation, and was almost entirely

the Park. In fact, had it not been for
Mr.. Miners determination, energy and
unwilingness to accept defeat it is doubt
ful if the appropriation for the road
would have been put through as it was.
The bill was introduced by him in the
House and through his efforts passed,
and of course after passing the House il
did not require much effort to get il
through the Senate. He made a splen.
