BANDITS SAVE POKER PLAY.
ERS AGONY OF GAME

Centerville, S. D., Dec. 27,-Eleven
men sat about a table in the home, ,of
a Centerville resident. The host sat
at the head of the table, with a large
box at his elbow. In it were poker
chips-and money.
The telephone rang.
"Hello," said voice when the host
answered, II understand your wife's
spending Christmas with her folks.
Game on tonight?
"There sure is," answered the host.
"Come right over"
"I'll be there" answered the caller.
New Player Calls.
81 didn't ask who it was," the host
told those gathered about the table,
''but We'll welcome little new blood
in the game. Whose deal is it?
Five minutes later someone entered
the house. The host reached into
the box and started counting out chips
for the newcomer. AS he was count
ing the door opened,
"Oh, don't bother about the chips,
can't stay" said voice.
Players Saved Agony.
The players looked up. In the door
stood a man, mask covering the low
er half of his face and two automatic
pistols leveled in their direction. :,
Just hand me what I'd win if
played with you and save yourself
the agony of losing"
Three other men, also masked, lin
ed the players up against the wall,
took all the money in the game and
what jewelry the men wore, and left.
The loot totaled more than $1,000.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES

The best bill passed at the recent
session, to our thinking, was Senate
Bill No. 80, providing dairy COWS for
farmers in the drought stricken areas
of the state. Five cows will be fur.
nisEed each worthy applicant provided
he agrees to plant five acres of corn
for each cows acres in ALL What
will this mean? Why it means !;
steady income all the year around; it
means the growing of cultivated crops
which destroy weeds and conserve
moisture; it means the growing of
hay; it means rotation; it means real
farming-it means success. The state
or county is running no risk, for by
the time payment is due, the flock
will have trebled.
Parties having hullless barley or
wilt resistant flax for sale, Please
notify this Office, as we lave numerous
calls for same. Also speltz.
What is the market outlook? From
present indications, the price of cattle
will continue fair. The demand for
beef cattle has been very good, this
probably being due to this particular
season when considerable beef is con-
sumed. Not so with the hog market.
No pork is being exported and cam
not be until the rate of exchange has
! been adjusted. With the heavy run
Of hogs anticipated, there can be little
hor'. for rise in live hog prices for
some time to come.
A word to those who have placed
their orders for Kubanka wheat seed
and also to those who intend to. A
earmer near Eastby, Cavalier county,
IS holding 1000 bushels for us at $2.25
but two samples sent US are not satis-
factory. It's Kubanxa alright,
large bright colored wheat, but we
lon't like the barley, wild oats, and
dirt. We have corresponded with
other agents and learned that they
have the same trouble. We intend,
therefore, to make concerted effort
at our annual conference in Fargo
next week to have this wheat cleaned
before shipping. About the second
week in January, we shall let you
know the results.
The winter short course for farmers
starts at the A. c.. Jan. 9Th. This is
open to all regardless of age or pre-
vious training. Its for hte busy farm
er or housewife who wishes to spend
month or six weeks at a practical
school. Enroll in any course you
wish or be free to take in any of the
demonstrations or classes you are
interested in. If you can get away.
we are sure you will be satisfied.

Highland No. 3, Chas. Buck teacher,
had a Christmas tree and program
Christmas night.
Teachers, like other people, live
1865 days in the year, as the Worces-
ter Teachers Association notes.,
In figuring on living income, there
fore, it should be noted that the teach
er who receives $3.50 a year-higher
than the "average"-is receiving lust
$206 day.
This is not living wage for teach
ers, ditch diggers, or naybody else,
and if the American democracy really
means what it says, when it speaks
eloquently about the service of teach
ers, it will pay a great deal more
than it is now paying for teaching
service. Otherwise it will not have
any teachers.-School Life, issued by
United States Bureau of Education.
School boards will keep the salaries
of teachers down, yet they ask the
county superintendent to get them
teachers and if he cannot force some
one to accept the salary they offer
he is condemned because the schools
are not running. Is this fair? Have
school patrons any right to expect a
county superintendent to keep their
schools running if they will not pay
as we'll as in other places? Many
rural teachers are getting up to $125
a month in other places. They would
be fools to come here for SIS or $50
and the sooner patrons and schoolr
boards realize this, the sooner all the
schools will be running.
