LONG COAT NEARLY FATAL TO
FARMER.

Pierre, May 9.-James Ford, a
young rancher of Perkins county. had
an experience on his farm he will not
care to repeat. He was operating a
disc in his field. and as the day was
chilly was wearing a long overcoat.
This overcoat in some way caught on
the shaft Of the machine and he was
being drawn down under the discs.
Luckily his team stopped at his word
and did not move while he worked
his way out of the coat, which had
been drawn so tightly about his body
as to make getting out of the gar
ment most difficult. II his team had
been restless the chances were all
against his getting clear under the
circumstances, and in the future he

LAUDS newspapers
PROF. JONES SAYS THEY PLAYED
GREAT PART IN THE WAR.

Columbia, Mo-, May 9.-That the
American newspaper is the best in
the world and has played a great part
in the advancement of national ideals,
was the assertion of Prof. Robert w.
Jones. of the University of South Da-
kota. who was one of the principal
speakers at Journalism week" at the
University of Missouri.
The weeks program is to celebrate
the centenary of the establishment of
the first newspa e west OF st. Louis
and also to break ground for the new
building to be occupied by the school
Of journalism at the University OF
Missouri.
The newspaper is the most power
full influence for progress today"
said Prof. Jones.
1.-THE newspaper Is the rudder OF
the ship of state. History could be
rewritten to show that wherever
great events t~ranspire the influence
of newspapers Ear be perceived.
I'VE couldn't have entered the war
as a unit, and we couldn't have raised
the army in time, or sold our bonds
with sufficient promptness, save for
our newspapers.
I'VE have better newspapers than
any other nation on this revolving
globe. We buy more newspapers per
capita than any other nation-about
$50 newspapers for every man, wom-
an and child in the republic each
year.
Civilization rests on paper. The
learning OF yesterday and today is in.
trusted to paper for safe keeping.
Business is done today by means OF
paper-contracts. deeds, records,
letters, checks and credit.
THE newspaper is the average
mans reading matter. 1t is his
school, his teacher, his leader"
Prof. Jones has been connected
with South Dakota university since
1915 and is vice-president of thu
alumni association OF that school.
