HOOVER WOULD
ELIMINATE ARTICLE 10
AND THEN RATIFY THE BAL
ANCE OF THE GERMAN
PEACE TREATY

New York, June 25.-The earliest
possible ratification of the German
peace treaty after the elimination of
Article 10 and adherence to league
of nations as the platform upon
which the republican party should
stand in the presidential campaign
was urged by Herbert Hoover in a
statement published by the New
York Evening Post today. Hoover
adverted to the league as a product
of the liberal class of the world, de-
claring that in such an organization
there was no place for any threat
of military forces such as is implied
in the present Article 10. Hoover
urged the republican party to take a
definite stand for the ratification of
the treaty without Article 10 in or
der to force the democratic party in
to the position of defending a prac-
tical military alliance. upon which
their safety depends only to further
endanger the real virtue of the
league Article 10 which Hoover
would eliminate states that members
of the league will undertake to pre-
serve the territorial integrity of
member nations.

LIFE ON FARM
CALLsYOUNG BOYS
NOT ENOUGH JOBS TO SUPPLY
THE DEMAND-TASTES AP-
PARENTLY CHANGEG.

Sioux City. June 25.-Farm life is
exerting strong influence over
young boys from IL to 16 years of
age this summer, and the majority of
those freed from school duties by the
vacation months are looking longing
ly toward the country as about the
most desirable place to work that
may be found, it has been discovered
by the authorities who have charge
of Juvenile work in the city.
C. H. Orpin, juvenile officer, who
is always ready to assist the boys and
girls in any worthy venture, states
that he has applications for places on
farms from many more boys than he
has places to send them. Boys tele-
phone to his home during the eve
ming hours urging him to find places
on farms where they may work this
summer; they write to him and call
at his office in search of chance to
spend the summer months on farms.
Mr.. Orpin regrets that at present the
supply of boys exceeds the demand

fact that farmers who need such help
are not aware of the anxiety of the
boys for life on a farm.
The cycle which carried the senti-
ment that life on the farm was

and a new and brighter time when
young. folks realize the advantages OF

cording to Mr.. Orpin's observations.
Boys who work on farms seldom

I'm many cases boys who are now
spending the summer on farms want
to stay there and go to school near
their farm homes next fall. A num-
Der of parents are expressing con-
siderable perturbation over the fact
that their boys do not appear to want
to come back to the city, and are
wondering IL they will be able to
persuade them to come home in time

Will Improve
Tenant Status

Brookings, June 25.-In order to
better tenant farming conditions in
South Dakota, several extension
workers from the State college in
cooperation with the local farm bu-
.reaus, will concentrate their efforts
in campaign for better farm leases
in Clay, Minnehaha and Moody coun-
ties.
"The proportion of tenant farming
in South Dakota has come to be a
matter of Importance to all persons
interested in the future prosperity of
the richest agricultural sections of
the state," said M. r. Benedict, farm
management expert of the extension
division
''The evils of tenancy come about
largely from the constant shifting
from farm to farm which operates
against the building up of a profit
able and constructive type of farm
ing, and from the fact that the ten
ant and landlord are often pulling at
cross purposes instead of building up
a real farm business.
ITO overcome these difficulties, a
different spirit and different form
of leasing are needed"

two feet below the Sioux City flood

A rise of three feet here, however,
probably will cause overflowing on

not be affected by the high water,

The recent heavy rains in central
South Dakota is the cause of the

BEWARE O|s|LLUS|ON
At TER THE DIP
ENG. COUNCILLOR,
OPPOSES MIXED BATHING

London, June 25.-"Hundreds of
useless celibacy through that infam-
Gus institution known as mixed bath
ing"
This statement is the nucleus of a
protest made by Councillor Donald
Clark, of Tonbridge, England. after
a momentous debate by the town
council as to whether or not mixed
bathing should be permitted in the
towns swimming bath.
II oppose this notion" said the
councillor, mot on puritanical
grounds, for although l am a Scotch
man, l recognize the necessity of
washing, even on a Sunday. But
oppose it as an ardent imperialist
and as a patriot. l have watched
mixed bathing for long time and
have come to the conclusion that 1T
stops more marriages than any other
institution"
He besought his listeners to
imagine a young man infatuated over
night by the charms of beautiful
Kentish maiden dancing as his part
ner at one of the dazzling balls for
which Tonbridge is famous. Then,
said he, think of him meeting her
the next morning clad in ready
made bathing costume that vulgar
ICES her figure, her hair punched In
a hideous cap or struggling over her
eyes, making her look like a wet
Scotch terrier"
"No woman" he declared, could
stand the test of appearing before
the man she had inspired. In the
damp and bedraggled condition that
was the inevitable consequence of
bath-whether public or private.
Women bathers are nothing more
or less than damp frights.
The councillor failed in his en-
deavor. Tonbridge will have mixed
bathing. And, as the woman's vote
is strong in Tonbridge. the councillor
will not seek reelection.

GOVERNOR ANSWERS
LEAGUE PETITIONS
REPUBLICANS HAVE KEPT
PLEDGES WHILE THE
LEAGUE FAILED

Pierre, June Ex-Governor Nor
beck in his comment on the much
heralded nonpartisan league "peti-
tion in boots" calls attention to the
Inconsistencies of the three principal
features of their demands" upon
the legislature.
In quoting the 1918 platform of
the republican party, charging that
it promised state owned elevators
and mills, the demand" ignored the
pledge of that party to use the same
prudence in investing state funds as
that of private money. The depart
ment of marketing has investigated
the North Dakota experiment and
other features of the elevator and
mill situation and will report to the
legislature in full. Demand was
made for flat tax in state hail insur-
ance but the governor shows that
they would penalize the owners of
the land in western South Dakota.
He states that there is room for i'm
proveemnt in the present law but
that undoubtedly changes will be
light of practical experience and not
based on mere theory
The petition demanded state
bank and claimed it has been prom
ised. No such pledge has ever been
made, it appears. A state bank is
supposed to finance the farmer but
the North Dakota institution shows
no indication of fulfilling the func-
tion while South Dakota had sue
cessful rural credit system before the
nonpartisan league invaded the state.
Governor Norbeck calls attention
to the fact that the league had 20
members in the 1919 legislature and
not one of them introduced bill in
furtherance of the league program.
He states that the republican party
has kept it's pledges to the people but
that the league has made no effort to
keep it's pledges to it's members.

and taking the heart out Of the
mound, the engineers found it cheap

Tracks have been built and with

ty years before the last of the Sac
ramento hill copper has gone to the

that no such patent shall issue prior

The public lands committee, in
favorably reporting the bill says:
Under the terms of the act of

war is entitled to have the time of
his service not to exceed two years,
deducted from the three years. resi-
dence required under the home
stead laws. If he was discharged
on account of wounds or disability
he obtains credit for the whole term
of his enlistment, but in no case can
the credit given exceed two years.
There seems to be no regulation or
statute to relieve wounded or in
capacitated venteran of the late war
from the minimum requirement of
one years residence upon the land
before proof can be made
"A great many cases exist where
entrymen who left their homesteads
to go to war now find themselves
either crippled or so injured in
healtht as a result of their service
that they cannot resume residence
upon their claims before the expira-
ton of the statutory period within
which proof must be made upon such
homestead entries.
This bill, which was drafted in
the interior department, will permit |
such soldiers, upon making salts
factory proof to the secretary of the
interior that they cannot return to
their homesteads because of physical
due to service, to pur-
chase the land upon payment of
$1.25 per acre, and thereupon to re-
ceive patent without the necessity
of any further residence or cultiva-
ton.
Unless speedy action is taken in
the matter of enacting legislation
along the lines of this bill, the pres
emit situation will work a great hard
ship upon many of the boys who
sacrificed most by answering the call
