ASSURE RELIEF
CAR SHORTAGE
PROMISES ININEDI-
ATE RELIEF-ONTJES AT
TENDS CONFERENCE.

Sioux Falls, July Positive as
surance of immediate relief from the
present car situation on the Milwau-
kee railroad in the towns and cities
throughout South Dakota, if the
cases are properly brought before the
road officials, was the promise made
yesterday by J. +. Gillick of Chicago,
general manager of the Milwaukee
road, who met with j. G. Bassett Of
Aberdeen and VIM. Oatjes of this
city at Aberdeen. Mr.. Bassett and
Mr.. Ontjes representing the railroad
committee recently appointed by the
South Dakota State Bankers associa-
ton, held a protracted conference
with Mr.. Gillick, j. II. Foster of Min
neapolis, general uperintendent for
the western division, and the' four
division superintendent in South Da-
kota yesterday afternoon at Aber-
deem.
The railroad men pointed out that
the interstate commerce commission
is moving box cars from the New
England states westward as rapidly
as conditions will permit. While
this westward movement has already
resulted in a considerable improve
ment in the general situation in this
state it was the opinion of all of
them that much greater improve
ment would be noticeable within the
next 80 days.
Similar conferences with represen-
tatives of other roads running into
South Dakota will be held in the
near future.

PASSPORT FEES
ARE HIGHER
RAISE FROM So TO $40 BECOMES
EFFECTIVE TODAY.

Sioux Falls, July Effective
Thursday, July /, applicants for pass
ports to foreign lands will be forced
to pay SO instead of the present
rate of So, Jerry Carleton, clerk of
the federal court, said. The increase
comes under an act of congress of
June A. The passports are good for
one year.
Approximately 200 passports have
been issued at the clerk of federal
courts office this year. Most of
these We're to persons going to Den
mark, Norway and France. Many in
the latter instance were on sightsee-
ing tours while others were going
for the purpose of visiting graves of
relatives who died fighting in France.
Passports are not issued to Aus
tria, Germany, Italy and parts of
Russia. However, there is no ban
on a trip to Constantinople. Persons
who have only declared their inten-
tion of becoming citizens of the Unit
ed States or have taken out first pa
pers are no longer allowed to secure
passports in the same manner as citi-
zens. They must see the consul who
represents the country from which
they came.
Applicants asking for passports are
requested not to state that they wish
only to visit the graves of soldiers,
sailors and marines. 1t was explain
ed that these tourists invariably in
tend to visit several parts of Europe,
and therefore, must apply for an ad-
ditonal passport.

A Hoosier school teacher received
very indignant note from one of her
patrons, demanding that she stop, some
boys from annoying her tiny daughter
on the way home from school. Imme-
diately after she had read the note
the teacher began an investigation.
She asked the little girl. "How do
these boys annoy you"
"Why, they talk awful about me and
to me-" explained the youngster.
"They cuss me and say terrible
things"
"But how do you know they are
cursing and the things are really ter
rible3" persisted Miss Teacher.
Even she was stunned by the wee
childs answer. Because" she rea-
soned, ''they are just like the things
my papa says when he gets mad at my
mama"

Washington, July 1.-The league

acceptable to President Wilson, it
was indicated in administration cir
cles today. The plank calls for
treaty ratification without reserva-
tions that would impair it's integrity,
but puts the party on record as not
opposed to reservations that would
make the treaty clearer and more
specific.

San Francisco, July 1.-The reso-
lutions committee of the democratic
national convention today adopted
the league of nations plank, putting
that party on record as favor of rati-
flea ton of the treaty without reser-
vations. That would impair it's es-
sential integrity with an amendment
by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,,
stating that the party does not OPP
pose reservations that would make
the pact clearer and more snscific as
to American obligations and SOW
ereignty under the league.

McAdoo would poll between 800 and
$50 and Palmer about 275 on the

the former cabinet member within
six ballots. The optimistic McAdoo
leaders predicted his nomination
within four ballots.
