world, recently returned from
France, where she has been detailed
by the United States government to
act as aerial postman from Paris
to the army of occupation in Ger

forced to give up her plan to carry
mail to the Rhine because of heavy
cold which she contracted while
driving an ambulance. She said she

ment at being forbidden by the gov
eminent to enter the combat service

Ancient Idol Dug Up.

Kalispel, Mont.-An idol. pronounced

dug up in sandpit near Eureka. The
idol is of stone. 1t is evidently of a
god and sits on its legs with Its hands
folded In its lap. The thing has a
Chinese look, but photographs sent to
Washington brought reply that 1t Is
an Aztec idol. The sculpturing is of
a high character. The question now is
how did the Aztec idol get to Montana.

HAIL INSURANCE
SOUTH DAKOTA RISK COMMITS
SIONER SENDS OUT
PAMPHLETS,

Pierre, March II. - Insurance
Commissioner Van Camp has had a
number of pamphlets printed con-
tanning the new hail insurance law as
finally passed, and is sending them
out to county auditors, county agents
and others interested, together with
several statements as to the workings
of the law and the reasons for its ex-
~istence.
He shows by a table what each
county paid out in hail insurance
premiums for 1918, and what was
paid back in the way of losses, giving
the total premiums paid for the year
at $1,577,217.27, and the losses paid
at s659,869.46, leaving a gross profit
of 5000, 924.12, out of which the eX-
penses of operation had to be paid,
but leaving approximately $500, 900
net profit to the companies for the
year 1918.
The law contains several optional
features, but the agricultural land
must be listed by the assessor on his
annual rounds, and he will leave the
necessary forms TO be sent to the
county auditor. Form No. 2 provides
for the tenant procuring insurance.
Form No. 3 reduces the insurance to
SIS an acre instead of $40; form No.
4 exempts from the provisions of the
law.

Sioux Falls, March 17.-That
France is about to prohibit emigra-
ton and keep her decreased manpow-
err at home, is the word that Corp.
Fay Bowman, first returned Sioux
Falls college veteran, brings from
overseas. He adds that when this
step is taken American soldiers may
have more difficulty than eve in
bringing home their French war
brides.
Bowman is discharged after Is
months in the service. eight months
who was a sophomore at the school
and active in athletics. was one of
the first to enlist. He was assigned
to the 62nd coast artillery as a scout
and left last July for France. His
regiment was stationed most of the
time at st. Emilion, northeast of Bor-
deaux.
He reports that his brother, Alva,

capped death when the Tuscania was
sunk, is still over there with little
hopes for an early return. Two 9TH
er Sioux Falls college boys. Corps.

ed home before he did. but we're de-
tanned at Gibraltar.
When queried as to whether he
had fallen for the charms of a French
lass, Bowman stoutly replied that he
preferred the home girls every time.
But not SO with all. for about 10 OF
the boys in his regiment have mar
ried over there. Most of them will
return, he says-the French women
are anxious to come to America-but
right now conditions are such that II

SOLDIERS DISCHARGES
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
MAKES RULING AFFECTING
REGISTERS OF DEEDS.

Pierre, March 17.-Apparently
some of the registers of deeds of the
state do not care to record soldiers
discharges before they are sent in to
Washington in the application for ex-
ira pay, and in relation to this At
torney General Payne has made the
following statement: There seems
to be no specific statute authorizing
the recording of soldiers discharges
by the register OF deeds. yet, since it
seems to be generally understood
that the wal department has advised
that discharges be recorded, l am adj
vising registers of deeds hal they so
record them. Since the record is
made at the suggestion of the war
department without doubt ii will rec-
ognize such record of a discharge in
case the original is lost. III it later
seems desirable that the record of the
discharge be given some legal effect
as evidence in court or otherwise. the
legislature can accomplish this by a
curative act. AS an accommodation
to the boys in dealing with the war
department. / am of the view that
registers of deeds should place dis
charges on record"
This statement should remove the
doubts from the minds of any regis
ters Of deeds who are in doubt as TO
what they should do in such cases.
