FOR STORE HELP
EMPLOYERS RECEIVING A SUR
PLUS OF APPLICATIONS.

Sioux City, Aug 24.-Wages and
salaries of newly hired department
store employees are likely to be lower
this fall because of the slackening of
the labor situation and because of
the belief that the high salaries level
is passing along with the break in
other prices, according to employers
of department store labor in Sioux
City. This condition, however, prob
ably will not affect regular employees.
it is stated
Employers, in informing persons
who desire to enter department store
work, declare they are making eff
forts only to keep their present or
ganizations, and have vacancies only
occasionally.
Employers say there will be no
general reduction of wages, but on
the other hand wages will not go up
and that workers will not advance
new demands in the face of surplus
help on the labor market.
There is a demand for better help,
some of the stores declaring that
while there is surplus of applicants
many are not of the desirable quail
ity, employers assert. Some of the
stores are employing very little help,
finding their present forces suffi-
cient to be shifted from post to post
as necessity requires. There is such
a pronounced surplus of applicants
that it is possible for employment
managers to pick and choose much
more carefully. Eight months ago
it was difficult to get help of any
kind. Many are now applying to the
stores for jobs of any character.
Wholesale statesmen, say employ
ers. are coming to the stores apply
ing for positions as retail statesmen.
This is characterized as an unusual
situation in the stores and if it is in
creased in the next few months will
doubtless bring in that much desired
better class of help.

To OBSERVE
CELEBRATION DAY
SONS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION
PREPARING FOR CEREMON-
les SEPT II IN STATE.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 24.-Constitu-
tion Day, the anniversary of the
American constitution in 1887, will
be observed in Sioux Falls and prac-
tically all the South Dakota cities on
September II, according to the plans
of the Sons of the American Revolu-
tion. DR.. ]. G. Parsons is state pres
ident and a committee consisting of
T. w. Dwight, DR.. George A. Petit
grew and Otis L. Ross has been ap-
pointed to arrange details Of Sioux
Falls celebration.
The movement to observe Consti-
tuition Day had it's inception in the
east three years ago and has grown
rapidly. Crying need for greater pub
lie cooperation in preserving law and
order in the nation, keeping verdant
the high ideals of the country and
tiding the United States over the pc
riod of reconstruction has made most
opportune the observance of the
birth of Americas great document
According to James H. Preston OF
Dd1tllllOIt u pl VI tiS ha'io""i
society of the Sons of the American
Revolution, the constitution is 1.-The
greatest piece of constructive legisla-
tion ever penned by the land of moral
man"
Schools throughout South Dakota
will be urged through the office OF
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Shaw to fittingly observe
this day, said DR.. Parsons and efforts
are being made to have September II
proclaimed a holiday to permit OF
suitableteremonies.
The secretary of the state society
is r. w. Dwight of Sioux Falls.

ROUNDUP LOOMS
UP BIGGER DAILY
EVERY TRAIN ARRIVING BRINGS
COWGIRLS AND COWBOYS.

AS the time draws nearer the first
annual Madison round up looms up
bigger than ever, and the people of
this section of the state are assured
of one fact, and that is that there are
more champions and top cowhands
here in Madison right now than has
ever been seen in one contest. Every
train into the city is bringing cow
boys and cowgirls from the farther
most corners of the west, attracted
by the liberal purses offered by the
Management in the various events,
and Manager Bangs says there will
be around ITS of the very best
son contest when the first event is
cut loose Thursday afternoon.
= Work on the immense grandstands
and bleachers is rapidly nearing COM
pletion. The heavy corrals, chutes
and fences will be in place by We'd
whistle blows for the first event on
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, ev-
erything will be in readiness for the
big round up.
The admission charges have been
fixed as follows: Adults, $3.50. This
includes admission to grounds and to
grandstands and pays all war tax.
Children between ages of and IA
years, 81, which includes grandstand
and war tax. Children under seven
years, if accompanied by parents,
free
The reason for charging the gen
eral admission, grandstand and war
tax on one ticket for both adult and
children is that it greatly facilitates
the work of the ticket sellers and
groups the four items into one sum,
as there are two separate items of
war tax, namely, on general admis-
sion and grandstand admission.

HAROLD c. RENSCH
MARRIED At COLMAN
MISS PARDY, OF COLMAN, THE
BRIDE-OFF ON HONEY
MOON TOUR.

Harold G. Rensch, son of Chris
Rensch of this city, was united in
marriage at a. m. today to Miss
Greta Pardy, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Pardy, of Colman. The
ceremony, which was performed in
the presence of relatives of the inn
mediate families, occurred in the
Catholic church, Rev. Kelley of Flan-
dreau officiating. Ralph +. Rensch,
a brother of the groom, came from
Redfield to witness the affair.
After the wedding breakfast the
happy couple life by auto on a trip
to the Twin Cities and Duluth, where
they will sojourn for about two
weeks, after which they will be al
home to all their friends in apart
ments in the HeXom building.
The bride is an esteemed young
lady who until very recently had en-
ployment with large business firm
in Omaha.
Mr.. Rensch needs no introduction
to Madison people. He is known foI
his long service at Camp Funston and
for his splendid business ability. For
the past three years Mr.. Rensch has
been one of the active members OF
the Rensch Hardware company. All
unite in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Rensch
long years of happiness and success

IS A
DESERTED CITY
GLOOM PERVADES ERSTWHILE
GAY RUSSIAN CAPITAL.

Terijok, Finland, Aug. ga first
those two centers of soviet rule
which are sealed against the outside
observers, was obtained by the Asso
ciated Press correspondent just prior
to his deportation to this point. Mos
COW is a city teeming with activity,
it's streets, squares and bazaars
crowded with people, and with little
outward evidence of distress except
the daily struggle of people seeking
their allotted quota of food. But Pc
trograd, once one of the busiest and
gayest capitals in the world, is city
of deserted streets, with only scatter
ed groups of people in those centers
which were formerly the scenes of
greatest activity.
Traversing the entire length of the
Nevski prospekt, formerly the grand
boulevard running from the Neva
river, one passes fewer than a hun
dred people. Along the banks of the
Neva from the winter palace, where
Nicholas was last seen alive, down to
the Alexandrovsky bridge, cordwood
is piled high along the beautiful mar
BILE and stone balustrades and
throughout the streets. 1t is being
unloaded from barges by enforced Ia
Dor. After the conscript labor fin
ishes it's days work, groups of men
and women gather through the night
to carry away stray bits of wood re-
naming for their winter supply of
fuel. Women are among the work
ers on the barges, standing waist
deep in the water logged craft and
handling crosscut saws. The food
prices at Petrograd are generally
about Is per cent higher than at
Moscow, where at the end OF July
beets sold for 1000 rubles pound.
(The American dollar is worth about
1000 or 5000 deprecated rubles.)
Pork then was selling for 5000 ru-
bles; sugar, 1000; salt, 1000; black
bread. 1000; small white bread rolls,
200 each; potatoes, 700 rubles, and
eggs, 800 each.
An atmosphere of military rule
permeates Moscow more than any OF
the other cities The population is
under constant nervous strain and
few are able to avoid arrest by the
supreme revolution committee. Per-
sons disappear into prisons and no
charges are preferred against them.
If they are finally set free they en-
counter the greatest difficulty in Nv
ing. The popular saying in the city
is that Moscow's population is dlvld-
ed into three classes-those VINO
have been in prisoned, those in prls-
on. and those who will be.
At present Moscow is in a gala new
red dress entertaining delegates to
the third internationale. Banners
and posters appear containing propa-
ganda of all sorts and in many Ian
qua ages, which are as little valued ap-
parently as the new "proletariat
money printed in seven languages. A
5000 ruble note of this issue ouys
only a pound of salt pork.
Moscow's prpe-war population Oh
100000 has dwindled to 5O0,ooo, II
| is estimated.

Fire Destroys Large
Stock of Implements

Redfield, Aug. 24.-H. G.. Schnitt-
grund, an implement dealer of this
city, sustained a loss of $4,000 when
fire destroyed his place of business
and implement stock. Insurance OF
$4,000, part of which was on the
building and part on the stock, will
protect Mr.. Schhittgrund from finan-
cial loss.
Himself and a representative of an
implement jobbing house had been in
the building as late at $50 o'clock
that night and at that time did not
observe any evidence of fire.
No inflammable materials were
about the building, hence Schnitt-
grund is at loss to explain the orig
ing of the fire except that it was oi
incendiary origin.
The loss covered a great deal ol
machinery inside the building and 6
large quantity of binder twine.
Schnittgrund will erect new
building on the site as soon as pos.
sible and install a new, stock of i'm
plements.
