|. c. c. PostpOnes Increase
In Demurrage Rates

Upon protest by the South Dakota
Board of Railroad Commissioners and
others the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has suspended until March 81,
1921, proposed increase in demurrage
rates throughout the United States.
The present demrrage rates are fix
ed at So per day for the first four
days after expiration of free time and
SIS per day thereafter. The carriers
propose to substitute a charge of SO
per day for the first -four days, Sc per
day for each of the next three days
ard SO per day thereafter.
In the event that the Interstate Com
merce Commission hold a hearing in
this matter the Board of Railroad Com
missioners will participate therein
with a view to assisting in the estab-
lishment of reasonable demurrage
rates.

BODY FOUND
SAT. AFTERNOON
Father Makes Discovery i'm Pasture
Half Mile From Home

The body of Emanuel Hins, of Bates
township, was found last Saturday
afternoon in a pasture, a half mile
from his home, by his father. The
body had been covered up in a snow
drift, and was not visible until the
mild weather of the past few weeks
had entirely melted the snow.
According to the report the funeral
was held last Monday and interment
made in the Bates cemetery.
Emanuel Hins, 20 years old, son of
John Hins, of Bates township, became
lost in the storm Sunday, October 81,
while returning home at about mid
night, after a visit with a young lady
friend in Jerauld county. After trav-
cling a distance of about two miles
his car became stalled, and after drain
ing the engine he attempted to make
his way nome on foot. That he near
iy scceeded in this is shown by the
fact that he was found but a short
distance from his home.
The opinion expressed is that after
travelling through the soft snow for
several hours he became completely
exhausted and probably dropped I'M
conscious and was covered up by the
drifting
Numerous searching parties We're
formed the next day and from that
time until two weeks after his disap,
pearance search was made over all the
adjacent country, but without success
until last Saturday afternoon.
The family of this unfortunate
young man have the sympathy of the
entire community in their bereave-
ment.

Fresh Air Inlets For
Hog Houses inexpensive

Bookings, S. d., Dec. S.-Fresh air
should be supplied to the new hog
houses that are being built practically
air tight, suggests r. l.. Patty, exten
sion engineer at State college. Plac-
inc galvanized aerators on the ridge
of the house will not ventilate the
building when the door and windows
are closed for stormy weather, and it
is IN the cold nights when the house
is shut UP tight that ventilation is
most needed. II doors are kept open
the result is a draught on the pigs.
Fresh air inlets may be installed at
slight expense for bringing the fresh
air into the house during such times
without producing a draught on the
pigs. Extension circular No. 81 show
how these r put in. Address the
Extension Division. State College,
for free circular.

Bill Asking For Credit
For Farmers Introduced

Washington, Dec. 6.-Revival OF the
war finance corporation. and action by
the federal reserve board permitting
extension by banks OF Liberal" credits
to farmers would be directed in a joint
senate agricultural committee. The
resolution will be reported to the SEN
ate tomorrow by Chairman Gronna,
Of North Dakota, who will ask immed-
late consideration.
Restoration of the war finance or
poration to furnish financial aid to
farms also would be directed in a con
current resolution presented today i'm
the house Of representatives by Rep
resentatives Byrnes, democrat, OF
South Carolina.
The senate agricultural committee
decided to report its resolution as a
committed measure, hoping to save
time. With unanimous consent under
the senate rules the resolution could
be read twice In n day and placed on
WF
the calendar. While not anticipating
action of the president. democratic
senators made clear their intention of
voting to over ride the veto if neces-
sary.
The resolution declares that 'unpre-
~cedented and unparalleled Distress
exists among farmers, because of in
ability to market their products at
prices equalling the cost Of production.
and that the people of Europs are in
.'dire need" OF these products, but un-
able to purchase because of financial
conditions. 1t further recites that
banks have been unable to extend Gre
dit to farmers so they may hold their
products until they can be sold In 9
fair and reasonable market"

Certain Oil Wells Are
In Vicinity OF Blunt

Blunt Advocate-A recent dispatch
from Geddes, this state, says:
For the first time in the history of
South Dakota cfude petroleum has
been discovered in this section.
THE discovery was made about
three weeks ago, when an oily liquid
was noted oozing from the ground on
the Blair and Riverside ranches, near
the Missouri river, southwest of here.
AT the time it was thought. the oily
liquid was of a vegetable nature like
that frequently found in decaying veg
citation.
Samples, however, were sent to the
university at Iowa City for analysis,
and the chemist discovered, the report
Just received state, that the substance
is genuine crude petroleum.
$50 far as is known, this is the first
discovered petroleum east of the Mis-
souri, river in South Dakota, and
brings the oil field to within about 40
miles of Sioux City and Sioux Falls"
These outcroppings are in the vicin-
ity of Blunt, and are confined to the
structure, well defined extending from
Forth of Okobojo in Sully county
southeasterly through Blunt, and has
been followed up during the past years
by Col. G. w. Adams who has picked
out a drilling location in Blunt as the
mother pool. A substantial S4-foot
standard derrick is now erected on the
spot and a test will soon be under
way.

Covers Laid For Ia Guests At Eleven
th Annual Banquet

One of the largest gatherings held
since the dedication of the present
Commercial Club building, gathered
at the club rooms last Thursday even
ing, for the eleventh annual banquet
of the Miller Commercial Club.
The program at $50 was opened by
an address of welcome by Judge John
Pussy, who on behalf of the members
&C the Commercial Club, welcomed the
ladies to the banquet. The Miller or
Chestra rendered several selections,
under the able leadership of Leader
Davis. A duet, birds on the Wing, .
was beautifully rendered by Mrs. w.
G. Redmond and Mrs. Ed. Bohning.
Miss Sylvia Eggleston sang a beautiful
solo. A reading by Miss Genevieve
Dunn and a violin sole by Miss Vir-
gInia Bohen were well received and
last, but by no means least, were the
violin and guitar selection by Messers
Blackman and Stack.
AT $3.50, a company of III people
sat down to one of the finest spreads
ever served at a banquet. Mr.. f. e.
Saltmarsh acted as POSTMASTER.
Toasts were responded to by Rev.
Father McQuillan, b. +. Magness, Mrs.
II. W. Woodruff, A. Fl. Churchill, Ma
yor w. ]. Halloween, Mrs. J.. w. Coquil-
lette and S. V. Christ. The latter being
in a reminiscent mood, gave a brief
sketch of the early life and vocations
of one of our distinguished townsmen,
which was both amusing and enlight-
ming to his after-dinner audience.
After this the guests adjourned to
the club rooms, where the young
people and some of the old spent the
time in dancing, while the men of
advanced" ages fndulged in quiet
games of pitch in the Press Office.
A special mention should be made
of the very excellent dinner that was
served by the ladies of the Catholic
church.

ROBBERS MAKE HAUL
AT Rec HEIGHTS
Thieves Break Into A. w. Dale Gar
age and Make Away with Tires
and accessories

Thieves entered the A. w. Dale gar
age in Rec Heights Sunday night and
took automobile tires and accessories
to the value of between 81 1000 and
$500. The thieves broke in through
a rear window and made a clean get
away with their loot in an automobile.
No trace of the robbers has been
found, except that it was reported that
IN auto loaded with tires was seen
going east through st. Lawrence early
Monday morning. Fred Coleman of
this city took his bloodhound to the
scene of the robbery but the dog was
unable to pick up the scent further
than the back door of the garage.
kilograms were sent to authorities
in neighboring counties to be on the
lookout for the robbers.
Last Wednesday night an intruder
was discovered in the Harvey Rem
Shaw home just east of town. After
the family had retired someone was
heard moving about the house. Mr..
Renshaw notified Marshal Livingston,
but before he arrived the intruder
had disappeared in the darkness.
On Monday night, while John Kuper
and his family, were attending the
Scenic, some unknown party entered
his home through a basement window
and ransacked the contents Of his
desk. According to John nothing of
value was missing, except that some
canned fruit in the basement might
have been taken. John claims that it
was the work Of a man as no young
ster could have forced his way
through the basement window.
Chief Livingston with the help of
his assistant Fred Coleman broke up
a sociable game of poker Sunday
night, and deprived the players of the
working tools of their profession, sos
in cash besides a supply of chips.
They appeared before Justice Holman
Monday and were assessed finds rang
ing from SIS to $50 and costs.
There appears to be an epidemic of
crimes all over the country, both in
towns and cities and peace authorit-
les are being taxed to the utmost to
cope with the situation. One of the
besN remedies 50 far advanced is in
Minneapolis where the authorities adj
vocate a return to the death penalty
for murder, and swift and severe pun
ishment for all other offenders of law
and order.
