Epidemic OF Bad
Check Passing

Mitchell, Oct. 26.-Whether peo-
pie are naturally dishonest or are
just careless is question which has
been much discussed by Mitchell
banks recently because of the alarm
ing increase in the number of checks
which are written by persons having
no money on deposit or with insult
ficient funds to cover the checks.
In single week over 100 such
checks are turned down by Mitchell
banks, according to estimates made
by the men who take care of the
work.
The larger banks of the city are
compelled to turn down an average OF
SO checks each day, the tellers report,
so that the average OF the six banks
in Mitchell easily reaches 200 bad
checks day, or 1900 week.
From noon until 1:45 p. m. one
day last week, a single bank in the
city received is checks which could
not be cashed, or an average of one
every seven minutes.

A RETURN To
PROTECTIVE TARIFF
SENATOR HARDING PROMISED
SUCH A POLICY PROMPTLY
AFTER HIS ELECTION.

Marion, Oct. 26.-There will be a
return to the protective tariff policy,
equalizing cost of production at home
and abroad. promptly after March 4
next, Warren G.. Harding promised
today, in telegram to Paul A. Erert.
Joplin, Missouri, chairman of the
Zinc Ore Tariff committee of the
chamber of commerce there. He had
written Harding protesting against
the importation of foreign zinc at
half the domestic cost of production,
which had forced the closing of
mines in Missouri, throwing $4,000
men out of work
Following the statement of Leon
Bourgeois, president of the League of
Nations council, that Article X is not
an essential or a vital part of the
covenant, followers of Harding here
foresaw a possibility that the coven-
ant may be amended, so as to permit
Harding, if elected, to propose that
America ratify a revised pact.

Corn Pickers
From Iowa

Pierre, Oct. 26.-On account of the
price of corn, there will apparently
be a shortage of corn pickers this
fall. Men are passing through the
heavy corn growing section in north
west Iowa and the southeast part OF
this state, and coming further north.
They say they will not pick corn
at from five to six cents a bushel
offered in the Sioux City territory,
when they can get 10 cents In the
central part of this state.
At the same time they admit that
they can't see where the farmer will
make anything by paying a higher
price for the picking. but that is his
problem and not theirs, and they will
come to the sections where the high
er prices ars being offered.
The report of the federal employ
ment service station at Sioux City
shows an excess of jobs over appli-
cants, while those in the central part
of this state show practically a bal
anced situation to date.

.AWYERSUEs
FOR HIS FEES
FOR N. p. ORGANIZA-
TTON SEEKS TO RECOVER
$1,4OO.

Mitchell, Oct. 26.-Seth Teesdale,
Aberdeen, former attorney for the
nonpartisan league of South Dakota.
has brought action in Mitchell, site
of the state headquarters of the lea
que, for approximately s1,400 al
legged to be due for services. Judg-
ment already has been awarded Mr..
Teesdale. In the action to collect
just brought, Mr.. Teesdale names O..
s. Evans, state league manager. and
David Lovinger, Ethan, prominent
league leader. so that action may be
taken to collect from them as indi-
viduals If it is not possible to obtain
the money from the state organiza-
tion.
When Mr.. Teesdale was granted
his original judgment he immediate
ly took steps to garnishee the lea
gue's bank account, but this was too
small to cover the amount of the
Judgment. The league then put up a
$4,000 bond, in order to obtain re-
lease for its checking account and to
convince the authorities that it would
pay the judgment when ordered to do
SO by the court. Despite the bonds,
Mr.. Teesdale alleges that he has been
unable to collect the amount. Hence
his present action.

DEFINES STATUS
REFERRED LAWS
GIVES ADVICE AS TO PROPER
MARKING OF BALLOTS ON
"YES" AND NO VOTE.

Pierre, Oct. apparently, from
discussions, and even the position
taken by several papers in the state.
there is misunderstanding as to the
effect of no or yes vote on the re-
ferred laws.
The proposition appears to be more
indefinite in the opinion of voters as
to referred law No. than to the
other, No. 2.
Several papers which have declared
themselves strongly opposed to any
backward step on the prohibition is
sue have advanced voting mo" on
this amendment to defeat the Rich
ards referendum"
By voting No, instead of defeat
ing the Richards referendum" they
are supporting it, and assisting in
stopping the effect of the law as
amended by the legislature.
To know certainly whether the yo-
ter wants to vote for or against the
prohibition issue it should be borne
in mind that the referendum had for
it's effect the stopping of the opera
ton of the law, and that until it re-
ceives favorable vote of the people
of the state it is of no force and eff
feet, and TO give it this force requires
an affirmative vote.
If the voter does not want to
strengthen the prohibitory law, and
wants to oppose the effect of the new
law, he should vote NO
If he wants to support the law he
must vote ives"
The proposition is not one of sub
mission of a law for approval, but
one of approval or rejection of a law
already passed, and an affirmative
vote makes the law effective, while
a negative vote wipes it out.
AS to referred law No. 2, it is in
the same position. 1t is law enact
ed and submitted. A vote yes means
that the people approve the law. A
vote no means that they are opposed
to it.

ONE DOLLAR
WHEAT STATEMENT
r. e p UBLICAN HEADQUARTERS
DECLARES OPPOSITION HAS
BEEN MISUNDERSTANDING
SENATOR HARDING.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-Republican ma
tional headquarters tonight issued a
statement declaring that Senator
Harding's opponents were widely and
mendaciously circulating reports that
the senator opposed guaranteeing the
American farmer more than a dollar
bushel for wheat during the war"
Statements made by the senator
had been garbled SO as to misrepre-
sent his views, the statement said.
THE facts are that Senator Hard
ing voted to guarantee the farmer
$3.50 wheat, while President Wilson,
when the power was placed in his
hands. fixed the guarantee ostensibly
at $3.50. though as matter of fact
the farmer got much less than that %
continued the statement.
Senator Harding's references to
dollar wheat, made in an address at
the Minnesota state fair grounds, had
no reference to the price of wheat in
war time. He was talking about the
price of wheat in times of peace prior
to the great war. He was not even
talking of the price of wheat under
conditions since the war ended.
while the Lever bill to encourage
food production was before the SEN
ate July 21, 1917, Senator Harding
stated:
~ said that raising 81 wheat was
a profitable occupation in times of
peace" and / said to the senator to

though they know perfectly well that

wheat. nevertheless garbled the
statement which he made by cutting

ON THE WAY TO
BROTHERS, FUNERAL
PRIEST DROPS DEAD UPON AR
RIVAL OF TRAIN AT ABER-
deem.

Mitchell, Oct. 26.-Most unusual
circumstances have surrounded the
death and burial of Fred Unger,
Parkston. The funeral took place
there Thursday, and was one of the
largest funerals Parkston ever had
Unger enlisted in his town for the
naval service when the United States
first entered the war. He was killed
in May, 1918, when the ship on which
he was serving was torpedoed off the
coast OF Scotland.
For two years his body reposed in
grave on the barren Scottish
coast. And then when peace came
arrangements were made by his fam
lily to have the remains shipped back
to the United States and to Parkston.
The deceased is survived by a widow
and family.
The remains arrived in Parkston
and in making further funeral ar
rangements, Rev. Father Unger, a
brother of the deceased and Catholic
priest, who has been in charge of a
parish north of Aberdeen. was re-
quested to conduct the services.
Father Unger left his parish for
Parkston Thursday morning but sud
denly dropped dead after the train
had reached Aberdeen.
And so the funeral of Fred Unger
held at the Catholic church in Parks
ston will be followed by the funeral
of his brother. the Rev. Father I'm
ger, in Oregon, where his parents

BOMB OUTRAGES
MAY Be SOLVED
ARREST OF BLACK HILLS MINER
DISCLOSES 100 POUNDS STOL-
EN DYNAMITE In HIS ROOM.

Deadwood, Oct. 26.-As a result of
the arrest at Terry, small mining
town. near here, of Carmelo Cacci,
aged 35, a miner, who had been ac-
cused of larceny, it is believed by
Black Hills officers the bomb OUT
RACES which have startled the cous
try during the past few months, and
especially the terrible explosion in
Wall street, which took such fear
full toll of life on September 16, may
be solved tb
When officers searched Cacci's
room they found about 100 pounds of
giant powder (dynamite), detonat-
ing caps and fuse, which had been
stolen from the Trojan Mining com
pany. He was employed by the COM
pany as a miner.
When questioned the prisoner stat
ed that it was his intention to use
the explosive to break up stumps
and logs for firewood and he strenu-
ously denied having any other pur-
pose in stealing the explosive.
A further search of the prisoners
room revealed a receipt from an ex-
press company for a trunk, which
Cacci had shipped to return address
in Omaha, Neb., on August Is last.
The officers had previously been
told by an informant at Terry that
on or about that date Cacci had ship
ped something like 100 pounds of gi-
ant powder by express to Omaha.
The finding of the receipts confirmed
the story.
1t is believed important arrests of
reds in Omaha will result.
The giant powder shipped by him
toSOmaha could have reached New
York City in ample time for use by
those who concocted the Wall street
explosion.
1t is believed he planned to make
another shipment to Omaha within
a few days. He has worked for the
Trojan company since July Is.
Little is known of him prior to his
coming to the Black Hills.
Cacci is being kept in close con-
finement in the county Jail.
1t is said the federal authorities
now have taken up the matter OF
tracing the shipment of giant powder
by him to Omaha, to ascertain If IT
reached New York City, as suspect
ed. for use in the Wall street bomb
outrage.
