PERLIN.-For the second time
Poland has asked Rumania to come
to her rescue in her ever-growing
military plight caused by the stea-
dy hammer blows delivered by the
bolshevist armies; for the second
time Rumania has turned down the
plea, refusing to be coaxed into at
lacking the giant soviet war ma
chine in the flank. Rumania feels
by so doing she would repeat the
blunder she committed when she
joined the war against the Teutons
on the side of the allies, only to be
over-run and crushed by the armies
of Falkenhayn and Mackensen.
A French officer who has just re-
turned from Warsaw, Friday describ-
ed the Polish military situation mot
as bad as painted, but bad enough"
The Poles, he says, are in a seri-
Gus predicament for small ammuni-
ton.
The greater part of the German
mauser rifles, ammunition for which
is very low, is in France. No maui
ser ammunition is being manufac-
tured in France and none has been
obtainable in Germany SO far. To re-
arm the Polish forces with rifles
for which the allies could furnish
ammunition would take weeks, mill
tary experts point out.
As consequence of the chain of
defeats suffered by the Poles at the
hands of Trotsky's armies, the feel
ing of hatred against Germany in
Poland has been whipped to a high
pitch. A large part of the press is
misleading public opinion, placing all
blame on Germany, which has served
to accentuate the effects of the over
whelming defeat of the Poles in the
plebiscite in East Prussia. Though
divided from the Poles by barrier
of border states, the Germans are
charged with furnishing the red
armies with ammunition, arms and
even money, the Polish press even
printing fantastic reports about Yep
pelins daily flyin cover Poland car
rying officers of the German general
staff to the soviet front. +.
At last accounts the soviets stood
IS miles from Warsaw, while in the
north they are menacingly close to
wilma, and on the southern border
they are less than twenty miles from
the Galician border.
A feature of the bolshevist ad-
vance is the use of great masses Of
calvary, recalling few spectacular
horseback smashes of the great war,
such as Mackensen's break-through
on>the Dunajec.
A former non-commissioned Off
Ger named Budeny is now command
ing the red cavalry on the southern
front. ne is said to. have become
a national hero through his spectac-
ular successes and to be one of the
outstanding leaders in the bolshe-
visit counter offensive.

lence, the records of his seimso-
graph were so small as to require
microscope examination. Accord

dictator was about one-half of mil
limeter from the zero point to either

AND MEADE
COUNTIES HIT BY RUST.

The writer just returned from a drive
through the Hills and the eastern part
of Pennington and Meade counties.
Such trip makes one appreciate more
than ever the situation in our own com
munity. First Of all the road for some
Eve miles this side of Hill City is any
thing else but a highway. Is well nigh,
in fact impossible to negotiate. From
Hill City on the road will compare with
any road in the Hills.
From Rapid City east both Meade and
Pennington counties were staged to har-
vest the biggest crop of many years un-
til the last days of June brought on rust
and the wheat which promised % to 80
bushels per acre is cut all the way from
20 per cent to total loss. East of Ra
pid it is fearfully dry. No rain of con
sequence has fallen fer month and
corn is about gone. The hay crop iD
common with the Hills everywhere il
great and there is hay enough for an
other year to follow providing this sea
sons crop is saved Out in the alfalfa
and hay valleys the talk was $500 for
baled hay on track 1t may be less than
that, but the labor situation there is the
same as elsewhere and boosts the price

Then it is hot over on the prarie's
There may be warmer places some
where, but if so we haven't gotten to
them yet. Surely not in the Hills
Then tourists everywhere from neigh

80 many travellers as last year" say the
natives. Probably the big crops and
money stringency account for it.
Anyway its good thing to drive out
on the plains and get sight of broad

eaten by flies and mosquitoes, and then
drive back the ascending trail in tn,

FARMERS PICNIC AND SHORT
COURSE DURING OCTOBf

II. E. Dawes, superintendent of the
Short Courses, and representative of the
Extension Division, State College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, was in
Fairburn Tuesday from Brookings, s.
d., for the purpose of arranging dates
for holding session of the Short Course
here during the month of October, con-
census of opinion appearing much in
favor of this meeting being held at the
time of the proposed Farmers picnic to
be held here during that month. These
Short Courses are held only in counties
in South OAK ota where no county agent
is in charge of agricultural propaganda.
Custer and Meade counties are the only
counties west of the Missouri River in
South Dakota which have no county
agent.-Custer County Press.

AUTO BLAZE ON

AUTO BLAZE ON
SYLVAN LAKE ROAD.
peculiar situation has developed
from the burning of a Chevrolet car OF
the Sylvan Lake road Sunday night tha
has several angles. 1t seems that Mr.
Wm, Palmer, one of the contractors,
purchased car from E. B. Wilson and
on this particular evening got into bad
place in this road and left the car at
II o'clock at night and went to camp
which was not great distance from the
car. Later on three young men came
along the road and not being able to pass
they elected the help of two other young
fellows who were camping below the car
on the hillside, and the five men turned
it over and so cleared the road. The
car having some ten gallons of gasoline
in it, irrigated the hillside and down in
to the water near the camp. When the
boys broke camp it seems they kicked
the burning Goals into the water and in
cidently into the gasoline and in less
time than we could tell it the fire was
on and the car destroyed.
Mr.. Palmer had paid $3.50 for the car
and naturally felt he had something
coming. 1t seems he offered to settle
with the 1--WE boys on basis of S250.00,
and be would take one-sixth part of the
loss leaving a little over $4,000 each for
them to pay. We understand that this
is the basis upon which they are adjust
ing the matter as all seem to be willing
to be fair about it. 1t was unfortunate
from any point of view as all are work
ing men and can i'll afford the loss.

CUSTER TO HAVE
ANOTHER ATTORNEY.

Mr.. Garrett B. Dolliver, well known
attorney of Hot Springs, was in Custer
egain this week looking after legal busi-
ness and preparing TO open offices above
the Custer County Bank to continue the
extensive legal business which has for
merly been transacted in that location.
This young man has lived in Fall
River county for number of years and
has been identified more or less with
the State of South Dakota since coming
to Hot Springs. He is graduate of the
State University where he studied law
afterwards serving at the State College
at Brookings as private secretary TO
President Ellwood C. Perisho. He also
studied at the University of Chicago,
and was admitted to the South Dakota
bar by the Supreme Court shortly after
the declaration of War with Germany.
Mr.. Dolliver then enlisted in the army
AS a private and saw service with the
18th u. S. Infantry in the Orient. Re-
naming there until about year ago,
he decided 10 return to the United
States and arrived back at Hot Springs
last December, where he has been locat-
ed since.
Mr.. Dolliyer spent several years in
Washington, ID. g., where he was at
tached to the Senate Committee on Ag-
riculture aud to the Copmittee on Ex-
penditures in the State Department in
the capacity of clerk. During the time
he was in Washington, Mr.. Dolliver at
tended the classes of the Columbian
College, George Washington University
SUGAR PROPOSITION PUZzLING.
What puzzles the ordinary citizen is
the price per pound of sugar asked in
the various states and localities. Lead,
Deadwood and Rapid it Is Sl7 per sack.
Other parts of the state prices vary from
S25 to $50 per sack. Tourists state that
in Colorado il is $l4 to bona fide resi-
dents and cannot be removed from the
state. Other states, Wisconsin for in.
stance $35, Kansas $2S, etc. The ques-
ton naturally arises why the difference
aud who gets 1t.
