Prices Trend UpWard ReserUe Board Reports

Washington, D. C., April 29, 1920 Reports from Federal Reserve agents show a marked tendency of prices to resume their upward move ment, the federal reserve board re- ported tonight, but the board noted the hopeful sign, from the consum- CTS viewpoint, of anxiety concern ing the over-strained situation re- sulting from excessively high prices and wages" which is believed fore cast a slowing down in the sky rocketing of prices.
 While High Prices of necessaries obviously were chargeable to inef- ficiency and under-production to a large degree, the board advanced the belief that the high cost of pro- duction was aggravated by the added expense of obtaining capital.

BROTHERHOOD A
WORLD PROBLEM
ROCKEFELLER SEES In REAL
CHRISTIANITY A CURE
FOR EVILS.

Washington, April 8.-A solution
Of the problems of the world is to be
found in ''the brotherhood of man,
based on the fatherhood of God,'
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., declared in
an address at a dinner of officials of
the interchurch world movement.
The ruthlessness with which Ger
many planned the world war, he said,
was followed by trend toward utter
individualism, which also has proved
failure.
1.-The policy of the last few years
self-a selfish, personal policy. re.
gardless of the brother of the neigh
Dor and of the needs of humanity
he said. To-day we are hearing from
the great leaders statements to the
effect that the solution of the worlds
problems is to be found in the broth.
erhood of man and of nations. And
we are hearing business men saying
that the golden rule must be applied
in business, but only when that gol.
den rule is applied in industry car
there be cooperation, good will
harmony and successful enterprise.
Mr.. Rockefeller was the principal
speaker at meeting attended by 9
number of men interested in the cam
paign to raise $336,0O0, 900. Rober
Lansing, former secretary of state
presided. Dr.. s. Earl Taylor, execu
tive secretary of the organization, ant
DR.. r. J. Mott told of the work un
dertaken by the Flying squadron,
a group of men who have begun ;
tour to raise the amount necessar.
to cover the budget.

LAND VALUES SHOW
STEADY INCREASE
HUGHES COUNTY SALES BY THE
STATE LAND COMMISSION.

Pierre, April 8.--Sales of land this
spring in Hughes county have been
bringing record prices for this portion
of the state, and mark a definite
progress in agricultural development,
indicating that the fertile and hither-
to cheap lands of this portion of the
state are now fast going into farms
and higher prices. Forty acres 10
miles north of Pierre sold for $102
per acre, this week to Paschal Hisks
of Chicago, and he has already stock
ed it with live stock and fine hogs.
He feels even that price, record as it
is. is low for the Immediate future
values in this community and the land
is at present raw prairie land.
In Hughes county the sale of land
conducted by the land commissioner
reached 4,186.76 acres, amounting to
an average of $42.19 per acre. Be
sides the sale, 11,609.96 acres were
leased for three years at an average
price of little over 39 cents per
acre. In Harold township the high
price for sale of land was $72; in
banning. SAT! Logan, $82; Buron,
eAa; Mentor, $102. and Peoria, SAL.
1. srs from outside the state, as well
40 eastern South Dakota were pres
ent, realizing the value of these lands
and their immediate future of higher
prices. The sale was the first of its
nature in about 20 years in Hughes
county. and will add good deal OF
prosperity to this section, as all the
land purchased is being put into ac-
tive use at once.
Lands west of the Missouri be-
tween Pierre and Fort Pierre are or
a steady increase, and it is predict
ed that in a couple of years some OF
them will bring $500 per acre.

Sioux City livestock.

Sioux City. April S.-With inflated
supplies in the yards shippers opened
out the hog market this morning on
an advanced basis. The early top was
$3.50, 10c over anything paid yes
terday and $15.25 was paid. This
initial business to outsiders was Of
fairly extensive volume and in gem
eral way sales looked to be around
100 16c higher, although spots re-
Elected as much as . 20c gain, and
again instances appeared where val
ues were no more than strong. DUR
ing the first trading to order buyers,
packers remained on the fence and
then slid off. one by one, and entered
the game. They refused to grant the
bullishness noted in shipper purchas-
es and insisted on taking off . chunk.
Sellers were forced to come down and
whenever packers secured drovos they
paid at least 26c lower prices. This
latter basis finally proved to be the
level on which the bulk Of the drCves
were sold.
From early indications the bulk Of
the sales will run from $13.S00
14.7S.

WOMAN BATTLES
IN ICY WATERS
WIFE OF RANCHMAN HAS VERY
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
WHEN THROWN IN RIVER.

Deadwood. April 8.-Mrs. Rudolph
Brossiet. wife of ranchman living
near the Belle Fourche river, had
thrilling experience which would have
made an excellent feature for the.
movies had movie photographer
been on the scene
Mrs. Brossiet had been visiting her
mother in the city of Belle Fourche.
and left for home on horseback. The
Belle Fourche river was at a most
dangerous stage because of floods,
and this had to be crossed in order
to reach the ranch of herself and
husband.
She was warned by several friends
not to attempt to make the crossing,
but Mrs. Brossiet is a true western
woman who knows no fear. The flood
waters were running several feet
deep. over the roadway at the north
end of a bridge extending over the
river.
She is splendid horsewoman and
believed she could safely get across
the danger point. She had almost
reached safe ground when her horse,
which was making a hard fight
against the fierce current, stepped off
the roadway into deep water, and
horse and rider were swept down
stream, striking the footbridge a
short distance below and tearing out
section of that structure.
Mrs. Brossiet was entirely SUBJ
merged in the icy water for a few
moments, and those who had wit
messed the accident from shore be-
lieved she never would appear on the
surface of the swollen river. She
became entangled In the wrecked foot
bridge. Several men hastened to her
assistance and finally, after strenuous
efforts, succeeded in rescuing her
from her perilous position.
Mrs. Brossiet was badly cut and
bruised about the body, the horse
having kicked her several times when
they were precipitated into the water
The animal was also rescued by
means of lariat.

IRISH OPPOSITION
IS STRONG
SOME CITIES ATTACK MILITARY
MOvEs-OTHERs STRONGLY
DEFEND THEM.

Dublin, April 8.-Opposition to the
government never has been SO general
throughout Ireland as it is today.
Some critics protest against the sever
ity of the military regime, but their
attacks are met by demands from
others who assert that steps taken
have not been sufficiently drastic and
that measures intended to be coercive
have failed of their object.
Inability to discover leaders of re-
cent disorders and failure to gain in
formation as to plans for raids in
the future has resulted in sharp criti-
cism. Government agents are appar-
emily often victims of misinfOrmation
and some military raids seem to have
been based on data given by persons
who are desirous of embarrassing the
administration.
The bitterness of feeling dividing
the people of Ireland into two mair
sections extends even to learned so
cieties. The Royal Irish academy
the most learned body in Ireland, has
refused to readmit Prof. John Mac.
Neill to it's membership. He wa
formerly a member and the society
published many of his contribution!
to the study of early Irish history
After the rebellion of 1916 he wa!
expelled on being sentenced to twenty
years penal servitude. He was Ions
since released from prison and re
stored to his professorship in the Ma
tional university of ireland.

LONDON TURNS
Down GERMANS
THEY HAVE A HARD TIME IN
ENGLAND SINCE THE WAR.

London, April 8.-Large numbers
who were deported from England in
the war have managed to make their
way back to London but have en-
countered warm receptions when
their identity has been discovered.
They managed to cross from the con-
tinent by working their way as sail
ors on tramp steamers to northern
English and Scottish ports.
These Germans who have come
back to England to take up business
again find it hard row to hoe, says
the Evening Standard. One German
business man gave 1t up and returned
to his fatherland after being refused
admission to five London hotels. He
found rooms in a Bloomsbury board
ing house but two days later the 9TH
er boarders discovered him, and noti-
fled the manager they could not live
under the same roof with German:
and he was turned out.
A German butcher In a London
suburb was prevented by his neigh
bors from reopening his old store
the other day. although he had lived
in England for 40 years, and there
are many similar cases.
Neither captain nor crew of thu
steamer Spica, the first German cargo
ship to enter the Firth Of Forth since
August, 1914. were allowed ashore Al
Methil and, in Difference to local feel
ing, the vessel did not display thu
German flag.
On the other hand a revival o
'Tannhauser" at Covent garden oper,
recently drew crowded and appre
ciative audience of society people
The cast, however. was wholly Eng
