BROOkINGS LAND AT $362.5O

Sale Tuesday of what is known To-
ter section south Of Brookings. for
$362.50 per acre marks new high
price record for South Dakota farm
land, but practical farmers agree that
this price is not likely to long hold the
altitude record Some predict $500
and 5000 per acre pfices within few
years. H. G. Williams, owner of this
farm which is now occupied by Percy
Kennard, sold the 100 acres to Fred
Leilf and Chas. Pullman, who will get
possession next March. Kennard will
continue to occupy the place during
the coming farm season, but the new
owners have leased it for next year
to a man named Feuerhelm, now liv-
ing near Bushnell, and who will move
to this place next fall.
AS evidence that the paying of the
price quoted for this land is not an
unwarranted speculative deal, it may
be stated that Chas. Pullman, one of
the purchasers, came to this county
more than ten years ago from Iowa
and bought half-section northeast
of Brookings which he still owns.
After these years of actual farming
here he believes he can profitabIy
farm land at $3625O per acre, and he
is backing up his faith with the cash.
Mr.. williams has located a great many
good substantial farmers and always
handles some of the best farms.
P. o. Kennard, who formerly owned
this farm, has purchased 20 acres i'm
mediately south Of town for his Po-
land China breeding farm, paying for
it $4,000, or $4,000 per acre. He in
tends to hereafter confine himself ex-
clusively to Poland Chinas.

TWO FIRES THIS WEEK

Fire Monday afternoon practically
destroyed the interior Of the st. PauPs
Episcopal church parsonage on North
Eighth avenue. During the absence
of the rector and his wife, who were
out of the city, the fire started in the
basement and before it was discov-
cred by some one living nearby and
the fire department was called 1t had
burned through the first floor, and
although there was a very prompt
response to the alarm the first floor
and the woodwork of the first story
was ruined and great damage was done
to the upper story by heat and water.
The building, handsome and sub
stantially built brick structure, was
erected only few yeas ago. The
woodwork was oak, which will be
expensive to replace at this time. For
tunately, the rector, Rev. Fulweiler,
had only recently come to Brookings
and the family's household goods had
not yet been placed in the parsonage.
Their personal loss will be compara-
lively light Insurance to the amount
of $4,000 on hte building will more
than cover the loss.
The origin Of the fire has not been
definitely determined, but 1t is sup,
posed to have been caused by an over
heated furnace. During the absence
Of the family young man had been
caring for the furnace, and it is under
stood he had not been in the building
on Monday later than about 10 o'clock
in the morning. The fire was discov-
cred at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
and probably had been working its
way upward in the building for sew.

government to vindicate it's own au
thority and sovereignty"
AS the wild men of the forests, the
vigilance committees of the wild and
woody, and the autocratic kings OF
1914 fell before the onrush Of advanced
civilization, so must the Illogical
weapon called strike" take it's place
with the dodo birds, and give way to
the peoples judicial procedure. IN
taking positive steps in this direction
the men in the presidents industrial
commission have given splendid proof
that they live above the fog in pub
lie duty and private thinking"
Europe owes the United States ten
billions of dollars, to which is to be
added billion and half dollars in,
terest On top of this comes the ad
vice of certain American financiers
and statesmen that we should loan
Europe ten billion dollars more, "to
rehabilitate them," and to keep them
from starving.
The total debt of the United States
when we entered the war was less
than one billion dollars. The liquida-
ton of thirty-two billion dollars, upon
which interest charges must be paid
within period of twenty-five years, is
the practical problem to which the
country's financial minds are now be-
ing bent.
The extravaganza of Goal Oil
Johnny" and the recklessness with his
money of the famed Drunken Sailor
are incompatible to the open-handed
munificence of Uncle Sam in his role
of stage-manager to the whole world,
and "angel' for all the actors.
In consequence, with every means
of taxation and revenue now in force
being utilized, the American people
will face a total deficit by June 80,
1921, of approximately six billion dol
lars.
The ultimate reasoning is that the
values in this country have perma'
nently increased. The profiteers may
be swatted, and in many instances
there should be StablllZlng or prices.
But just the same this nation has
passed onto a different basis than
heretofore; and neither wizard nor
seer can figure out that the vast
majority of things that have to be
paid for in dollars and cents by Ameri-
can men and women can possibly be
much cheaper than they are at pres
ent.
Of course incomes have greatly in
creased. But the process of getting
and spending" has been compared by
someone to the case of the cat chasing
its own tail.
So far as dollars and cents are con
cerned Europe might consider that
this country is already in rather bad
with it's own banker. And from mos,

STATE OF TRADE

The condition of trade throughout
the country last week as reported by
Bradstreets showed less than usual
holiday quiet. Retail clearance sales
actively pushed Wholesale trade,
busy on inventory or shipment, re-
ports strength or advances in many
prices. Industry active, with three
to six months orders booked. Stock
market rises despite higher call and
time money. Iron and steel and lum-
Der prices strong. In latter. orders are
taken at value, and runaway market
possible. Car shortages affect grain
and lumber. Coal production up to
IS per cent of full output, before holi-
days. Wheat needs snow cover.

x. 0. Sweeney pulled the expected
last night at the Ell Centre Athletic
club, and won clean-cut decision
over the big boy belonging to the In
perial Valley folks. Battling How
ard was not there. and the gong was
all that saved him from flat X. O.
at the hands of the San Diego lad.
The local boy had Sweeney bested
six or eight pounds in weight, but this
was easily overcome by the science
and skill displayed by the visitor.
Soldier McCausland took the count
from Kid Peck during the third rUUf1t
of their scheduled four round bout
A stiff left to the stomach did the
work.
Speedball Williams suffered much
at the hands of Young Julian of San
Diego. Three rounds was all that he
could stand. The first round was an
even break and in some places it
looked as though the colored boy had
an edge on his man. But during the
second and third it was all Julian, his
dark. opponent showing signs of weak
ening in the early part of the second
and before the end of that round was

steady flow of blows in the head and

ment for those present. Joe Flynn
was given the decision and was asked
for a return bout by the Kid.
Huskey Jack Johnson put four of
his colored friends to sleep during the
course of the Battle Royal and was
awarded the medal. When the nickels

MAY RETAIN SEAT

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Con-
viction of Senator Newberry by a
Grand Rapids jury does not invalidate
his seat in the senate, republican
leaders said today.
He will be entitled to retain office
until the senate itself acts on the
charges filed by his opponent Henry
Ford
Whether Newberry, in view of his
conviction, will continue his duties in
the senate pending final decision of
his case by the courts, is matter OF
his own discretion, senator's said
John Newberry, the senator's
brother, was fined $4,000 but was
given no prison sentence.
Senator Newberry said he would
continue to represent in the United
States senate the people who elected
him."
Senator Newberry was sentenced
this afternoon to two years in Leav-
enworth prison and to pay fine of
$40 600.
The sentence of the others ranged
from the same as that of Senator
Newberry to fine of $4,000.
Judge Sessions overruled a motion
for a new trial pending the appeal.

short visi ito this city yesterday after
noon. At the end of the last frame
the score stood 81 to /, with the Wis
itors on the short end of the argu-
ment
These wildcats from the Central
Union High were told to behave them
selves, and treat their friends with
the utmost respect, but HOltville spilled
the beans in the first half of the first
inning by pushing over a run. and
that was rubbing the fur the wrong
way, as a result of which before the
second inning was over the score was
8 to l, the local boys piling up one
each during their trip to the plate
Things went from bad to worse and

Attorneys Lyndol Young and +. b.
Woodruff representing Hovley. tried
to get Deputy United States Attorney
Thomas Green to drop the charges on
the ground that the prosecution was
merely the outcome of a failure on
the part of Staalduynen to secure a
money damage settlement from How
ley. However, the government could
not see the charges in that light and
pressed the case.
Upon examination of Mrs.
Staalduynen, Attorney Young brought
out the statements that Staalduynen
and his wife had travelled to Califor-
MIA together as husband and wife after
he had learned about the alleged
'past." After they came to Califor-
mia and had registered as man and
wife, Mrs. Staalduynen admitted, she
and her husband separated and went
to different hotels. She said she does
not know how her husband feels to-
ward her now, as she has never asked
him. She also admitted having writ
ten to Hovley after her marriage. She
said she also has gone to work. She
! admitted that she has seen her hus-
band almost every day since the
