SIOUX INDIANS
IN P0W-W0W
LARGE CROWDS GATHERED AT
LAKE ANDES FOR DANCE
AND BARBECUE.

Lake Andes, Aug. 12.-With over
1000 Indians and but a few white
men visitors present, the annual pow
WOW and war dances of Sioux Indians
i'm this section were held last Friday
near Greenwood, 10 miles south of
here.
In the morning a beef was killed
to provide feasting for the day. In
the afternoon horse races were held,
which, according to the white men
present, were as speedy and exciting
as those frequently seen at the best
of county fairls.
To provide a place for dancing,
willow branches from threes near the
Missouri river were stuck into the
ground in two large circles. In the
smaller one sat six red men with
tom-toms, while in the outer circle
young bucks and old warriors alike,
attired in all the bright feathers and
colored beads priced by their tribe,
danced, brandished tomahawks and
sang their strange songs for hours.
In accordance with an ancient Gus
tom, the two Indian visitors from
other tribes were presented with a
horse apiece in honor of their pres
ence.

Brookings, Aug. IL. - Manley
Champlin, extension agronomist at
State college, has resigned to accept
the position of head of the field hus-
bandry (agronomy) department at
the University of Saskatchewan, Sas-
katoon, Canada. He will succeed
Professor John Bracken, who has
been appointed president of the Mani
toba agricultural college. Mr.. Champ
lin will take up his new work next
month.
The president of State college and
board of regents have made unusual
efforts to retain the services of this
valuable man. His salary was raised
three times during the past twelve
months and fourth increase with
new readjustments of his work were
proposed, but to no avail
The University of Saskatchewan
does its work on big scale and in
addition to giving him salary great
er than that paid to heads of depart
ments and deans at South Dakota
State college and university there are
such attractive provision as pensions
and sabbatical leave on half pay.
The question is being raised all
over the state among wideawake
leaders in agriculture as to how long
South Dakota will permit such calam-
! tiles to happen to this great state, for
it is nothing short of calamity to
lose men of the caliber of Manley
Champlin.
Mr.. Champlin is one of the best
known men in his line in this section
| of the country. He is graduate OF
State college in the class of 1909. He
took his M. S. degree from State in
1914.
He has been secretary of the South
Dakota experiment association since
lis organization, is vice president OF
the International Crop Movement as
sociation and last year was president
of the science seminar Of the college

WILL UNITE IN
MARKETING PLAN
FARMERS SEEK BETTER METH.
Cd OF SHIPPING GRAIN AND
LIVESTOCK.

Huron, Aug. 12.-Responding to
the call of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, 400 representatives
of the midwest state farm bureau
federations, Farmers Union, Farm
ers' Grain Dealers associations, So
cieties of Equity, Equity-Unions and
Oranges met at the LaSalle hotel in
work of their organizations and to
discuss methods for improving the
marketing of livestock and grain.
Grain marketing occupied practi-
cally the entire time and attention of
the conference. 1t was soon appar-
ent that all were agreed that a mar.
keting system for grain should be
devised that will insure a steady mar
ket, free from unjust manipulation
and guarantee fair price to the pro-
ducer.
1t was also the opinion that farm
ers themselves should market their
grain, that all the grain growing
states must work together in their
marketing efforts, and that the
rights of the consumer must be given
due consideration.
The various organizations repre-
sented, at the conference have been
engaged in grain marketing enter
prises for years. However, they
have followed different plans and no
one organization has had control of
the bulk of the grain
A uniform plan must be worked
out and followed by all the producers
and marketing organiza tions in the
various grain states and there 4, lst
be control of the bulk of the pl
duction.
President j. H. Howard, of the
American Farm Bureau federation
was instructed by the conference to
appoint a committee of II members.
representing the various organiza-
tions and states interested, this COM
mittee to work out and submit to a
later conference a plan for concerted
action along the desired lines.

TELLS ROUTINE
BANK FAILURES
BANKING DEPARTMENT STATES
HOW GUARANTY FUND is
APPLIED.

Pierre, Aug. 12.-State Bank Ex-
aminer John Hirning gives out
statement in regard to procedure un-
der the state banking law in paying
depositors of banks which fail.
He makes this statement to cor
rect misleading articles which have
been published in relation to the Bon
Homme county bank, now in the
hands of the department.
my attention has been called to
certain newspaper dispatches appear
ing in Minneapolis and other papers,
under Sioux Falls headline, relating
to the suspension of the Bon Homme
county bank, of Scotland, and it is
evident from such dispatches that the
writer's are not familiar with the op-
Grafton of the depositors' guaranty
fund law in the state of South Da-
kota. The dispatches seem to give
the impression that in case of a fail
ure of state bank, the depositors
will have to wait until the assets of
the bank are liquidated, and if after
liquidation an insufficient amount is
realized to pay the depositors in full
the guaranty fund is then drawn upon
to pay the balance. This is not the
fact.
When a state bank is closed in
South Dakota, the banking depart
ment Immediately ascertains the total
liabilities to depositors, including the
drafts afloat. The guaranty fund is
drawn upon Immediately for the full
amount of deposits, together with the
amount of drafts outstanding. and
the depostors are paid Immediately
in full, regardless of the condition of
the assets. The department then pro-
ceeds to liquidate the assets of the
bank, and the amount realized there
from is turned back into the guaran-
ty fund. In the case of the suspen-
sion of the Bon Homme county bank
of Scotland, checks have been mailed
for all claims for deposits or drafts
that have been filed and approved
with this department to date.
The fact is that on this date more
than two-thirds of the deposits have
been paid in full, and the others will
be paid as soon as the claims are re-
ceived and verified.
Relative to the statements in
these dispatches as to the probable
loss, 1 will say at this time no one is
able to predict what the probable loss
will be, but it is my judgment that
the loss will not be anywhere near as
great as is reported in the various
dispatches referred to-"
