G~rasshopper War
Pays Big Returns

MCINTOSH, s. D.-Moret than $97,-
900 was saved in Corson county thru
the efforts of the farm bureau with
poisoned bait for. grasshoppers. Poi
soned bait was applied to $3.50 acres
of grain crops. The above estimate
was based on a yield of is bushels
per acre and only one-haf Of the crop
being saved by the use Of poisoned
bait. These results we're secured in
a period of less than three weeks.
This was only part Of the work done
by the county agent during the three
weeks.

Are the women interested in politics? Well
say they are. Just think of the way Miss Ruth
johnson is understanding Miss Nelson in the
race for state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, and then, observe Miss Alfhild Alison.

State. 1t looks very much as if the l. V. A. will

be depended upon to temper justice with
mercy. Vote for Seth Richardson November

mo ACCIDENT WEEK" BEGINS
IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
Effects of Campaign Starting Today Elk
pected to Hold Lasting Benefits for
Pedestrians and Motorists Alike.

and not at all At to have charge of
a car.
The chances are that the motorist
has to take more room than necessary
from the pedestrians point Of view
ON account Of other cars on the
street. or other pedestrians lodging
back and forth between cars.
It's a different problem. Every one
admits that. But the point Is that If
the pedestrian would put himself in
the motorists shoes in the same sit
uation. he would doubtless do as the
motorist did.
The pedestrian should also take his
lesson from this week Of intensive
publicity to the traffic situation in
Washington.
This campaign will lose much of
its effectiveness il it does not appeal
person. walker or driver, in the city.
Every automobile driver has prob
ably been pedestrian at some time
in his life, many of them are half
the time anyway. and therefore should
show the proper consideration of the
latter's rights.
Dont's for Public.
II you are walking across the street
and a car passes close in back of you,
don't turn around with a growl and
say why don't you blow your horn,
you saphead?'
And IL you are driving car down
the street and some walker mad
vertently gets in your way, don't yell
at him. Whats the matter, are you
deaf?"
The chances are in the first case
that the motorist did not blow his
horn, because II he did It would
brighten you and you would lump
back directly in his way. There are
times innumerable when it is better
not to blow the horn If the pedestrian
has plenty Of room to cross in front
OF you and to do So would alarm him
into jumping back.
Now take the second case. Perhaps
the man might be deaf, perhaps he
had seen you and misjudged the
amount Of time he had to cross the
street. That's perfectly reasonable,
isn't II! The man who does not drive
cannot gauge distances AS well as the
automoofiist and therefore is liable
to nnd himself directly in your path
Wnen ne had figured that he would
safely be on the other side of the
street by the time you reached him.
SO during this week. and all the
other weeks Of this year and in the
years to come. try to build up
cordial relationship between the auto
mobile driver and the pedestrian. Both
SIDES can accomplish this II they trv.
ana there Is no better time to start
than the present
Here's to the success of safety week
ana may there not be an accident Of
any kind to mar the record which Ali
are striving for.

that would be a factor in lessening
accident.
The pedestrian has a fundamental
right to cross the street, but times
have changed and the ever-increasfny
number Of motor vehicles demands a
rsadJustment OF the simple mechanics
OF iocomotion. So why not meet them
fairly on both sides for the common
good?
The American people have had born
IN them sense of independence and
irritation under restraint They do
their personal liberties. Therefore. he
reoeis instinctively at a ruling that
ne shall not cross the street in the
middle of the block no matter how
many cars are going by. Yet, If
some one were to say that the street
was liable to cave in where the mid
block crossing was contemplated,
none but an utter fool would argue
because he had right to cross
anywhere he wished that If the street
caved In and he was hurt it wouldn't
be his fault and he would, therefore.
dare any one to stop him,
Cooperation Ii Urged.
why should any sane person feel 1t
circumscfiption of personal liberties
to be told that he must not cross the
