Black Hills, from Butte to Fall River

the residents Of the Hills ever need put
in any apologies for 10 any way They
were on the job all Of the time, and
knew not only what they wanted, but
how to get it, and their records all
along the line are such that the western
part of the state can take pride in their
work, and in the class of men they pic6-

Over One Million. Laws Enacted
During Session.

The legislative session closed Friday
evening with all bills disposed of and
nearly every one satisfied with the work
done. A short discussion Of the prin-
cipal doings Of the session will be OF
| interest.
The highway bill, which passed the
house Thursday, provides for a system
of state highways connecting every city
and town of over 700 inhabitants. The
road will be hard surfaced, of standard
design, and will be paid for with federal
and state money. This will permit the
use Of county funds for the construction
Of secondary and tributary highways,
which will eventually result in net.
work of standard roads throughout the
state.
The tax laws were radically changed
in several respects. Mention has been
made OF the fact that moneys and cred.
its will hereafter be listed separately and
bear fixed levy for taxation purposes.
Aside from this, the exemptions on other
property came in for a change. House
hold goods will be exempt up to $500,
dwellings occupied by owners will have
an exemption up to $780, and = $500
exemption was also placed on tools of
trade
Perhaps the outstanding feature of
educational legislation was the bill pro-
viding for free text books for the schools.
State aid is provided to assist rural and
consolidated schools, they, of course,
coming up to certain standards in order
to receive this financial aid A two
year teaching course ia provided for
those schools that can show a strong
course preparatory for this. The stan
dard requirements for teachers in the
state was raised somewhat as prelm-
mary step to a still higher standard later
on,

of the legislature that were of statewide
interest, To those who live IN the
Black Hills, summary of legislative
acts pertaining to this region might be
of interest.

SEVERAL ENTERTAINMENTS
GIVEN FOR MRS. COBBLEDICK
A Recent Bride Is Recipient of Much
Social Attention.

Social activities of the past week
centered principally around a popu-
lar bride, Mrs. Lloyd Cobbledick, nee
Miss Mamie Locke, whose return
from Red Cross service in France is
of great interest to her friends. Mrs.
R. B. McLain and Miss Lima Mcneil
were joint hostesses on Thursday af-

which were invited sixty guests. At
ter an entertaining movie at the Pal

Every government that ever exist

overcome the law of supply and de-
mand and to create values, but with
out success.
The present high prices, said Mr..
Howard, are largely the result of eX-
travagant buying. Manufacturers,
he said, were so busy turning out
silks and satins that they had no
time to make cheaper materials.

PAROLE RECOMMENDED
FOR DR.. M'NAUCHTON
PRISON COMMISSION is NOW
UNANIMOUS FOR CLEMENCY
IN NOTED GEORGIA CASE.

ATLANTA, Ga.-New hope of
freedom dawned for DR.. W. J. Nc
Naughton, now serving a life sem
tence at the state prison farm, when
the prison commission today unani-
mously recommended to Governor
Dorsey that he be paroled. Several
years ago DR.. McNaughton was con-
victed of murder in Emanuel county
and sentenced to hang. 1t was charg-
ed that he and Mrs. Fred Flanders
conspired to take the life of Mr.. Fred
Flanders and that DR.. McNaughton
put him out of the way with arsenic
poison administered under the guise
of medicine.
Woman "Gets By"
Although he and Mrs. Flanders
were jointly indicted she was never
tried. Governor Brown respited Me
Naughton three times, thus saving
him from the gallows. He was COM
muted to life Imprisonment by Gov
ernor Slaton. He in the meantime
had applied for a pardon, claiming
innocence and that since Mrs. Elan
ders had been set free by the nolle
PROSE- of the indictment against her
then necessarily it must be admitted
that he was innocent of any conspir-
acy with her to take the life of her
husband.
Prison Commissioners Rainey and
Dawson favored his pardon, while
Commissioner Patterson voted for
Communication to life imprisonment.
The case has since been before the
commission several times, but there
was no change in the attitude of the
members. Now the three members
are unanimous for the first time on a
recommendation that DR.. McNaugh-
ton be paroled.
The case is one of the most ia
nous in the criminal records Of Geor-
gia in many years. The trial at
Swainsboro attracted widespread at.
tention and McNaughton's repeated
efforts to secure a pardon have been
given extensive newspaper publicity

FEED OUT YOUR HOGS SIX
WEEKS EARLIER.

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks earlier
and to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The

ditioner for hogs. 1t keeps their sys-

them to fatten quickly without fall

of the corporation; c. P. Blankenship

directors. President Jolley reported
the completion of milling plant
which includes a flotaton unit in ad-
dtion to jigs and tables and states
that trial runs by the mill have fully
met expectations in effecting a high
saving in values, says the Wardner-

ore is blocked out on the mine levels
and as soon as suitable market con-
ditions obtain the property will again
get into the producing column. Writ
ing from Washington, d. c., Attorney
IL. J. Hibschman, a member of the
company, states he has the matter of
a suitable tariff up with the western
senators and is hopeful of getting re-
suits in the new tariff bill to be franz
ed by the republican congress after
March 4. Antimony producers have
been making a hard fight to get pro-

cheaper ore from China and if sue
cessful the industry will be an active
one throughout the west.

ing Obligation.


The influenza epidemic has raised
an interesting question regarding the
payment Of hospital expenses of a
large number of mine employees who
have been paying 81 per month for
hospital service and who naturally as
sumo that medical and hospital service
in cases Of flu are included in the
contract. AS opposed to this view the
doctors and hospitals working under
these contracts take the position that
flu is contagious and that the care
cludes Contagious diseases" which
frees them from handling flu cases
under the terms of the contract. They
have therefore passed the matter up
to the mining companies and the mi
ming companies have in turn passed
the buck" to the county commission
ers. The combined bill from the sew
eral hospitals amounts to over $4,000.
Managers of the mines met with the
county commissioners yesterday after
noon and discussed the subject, the
commissioners reserving a decision
until they could secure an opinion
from the county attorney. The hos
pital contract has the approval of the
Industrial accident board, and under
it's terms each employe pays 81 per
month for hospital service, to which Is
added SO cents per month by the en-
