MACHINES NOW
ARE OPERATING
THRESHING OUTFITS ARE BUSY
IN SOME SECTIONS-SOME
YIELDS DISAPPOINTING.

Canton, Aug. 9.-Threshing ma
chimes now are commencing to tell
their stories in sections of South Da-
kota, where some early threshing is
being done from the shock. BY the
close of next week it is expected that
threshing will become general
throughout the state -.
Harvesting is fast nearing compile
ton The weather has been ideal for
harvesting operations. While the
temperature each day has reached a
rather high mark, cool winds have
blown and farmers have been able to
carry on the work with little discom-
fort to themselves and their horses.
In Turner county, it is estimated
that at least sixty big threshing out
fits already are at work pounding out
the grain. The yields in Turner coun-
ty are reported to be rather disap-
pointing. Wheat is stated to be al
most a failure on account of the rust
early in July, and is threshing out in
weight from three to nine bushels to
the acre, and of poor quality at that.
Oats in Turner county is fair and
is yielding from 25 to As bushels per
acre. Some fields turned out pretty
good, while others nearby, owing to
lack of drainage during the wet
springs yielded very poorly. The Tur-
ner county barley crop also is only
medium, running from IA to "a BUSH
els per acre SO far as the threshers
have yet reported.
Much new grains is being market
ed at Parker and other Turner coun-
ty towns.
In the Violin district of Yankton
county Albion Wright is doing his
threshing, and reports an average OF
about Is bushels of winter wheat per
acre, and oats about 40 bushels to the
acre. Tore Hoxing's winter wheat
threshed out 25 bushels per acre and
graded No. /. Spring wheat runs from
to 10 bushels per acre and is OF
poor quality.

FUNERAL SERVICE
FOR REV OLSON
LARGE NUMBER OF FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES OF DE
CEASED ATTEND.

At 2 O'Clock today the funeral
services for the lately deceased Rev.
A. L. Olson, but a short time the pas
tor of the local Methodist church
were held from the assembly room of
the church, where there was in at
tendance not only a large number of
Methodist people, including members
of the regular congregation, but also
ministers from several places in the
Sioux Falls district.
The funeral sermon was delivered
by DR.. j. S. Hoagland of Sioux Falls,
a close personal friend of the deceas-
ed, as well as his superior officer
DR.. j. T. Jenkins also assisted in the
service.
The floral tributes were numerous
and unusually beautiful, some being
sent from nearby towns.
The death of Rev Olson marks the
first instance of a local Methodist
pastor falling by the wayside while
engaged in his work in this city. The
suddenness of his going and the fact
that the time for the meeting of con-
ference is far ahead leaves the mem
bers of the congregation shocked and
embarrassed.
Rev. Olson had just nicely gotten
into his work and plans for the flu
ture when his demise occurred. The
church will miss him and so viii a
host of friends who had heard him
only to admire his sterling work to
the community.
The sympathies of all are with the
sorrowing wife and fatherless little
daughter.
Interment was made at Graceland
cemetery.

hands entered the car about IL
o'clock at night At 2 o'clock in the

Two of them, according to the theory,
entered the box car for the purpose
of accommodating and ran upon the

gle which resulted Pearson was shot
twice in the shoulder. These two
bandits and third who remained in

Travelling statesmen, Mr.: Macken-
zia said today, naturally resent these
structures against them, and against
their usefulness in society. He re-
called the part played by travelling
men in the election of William Nc
Kinley as president, and of John A.
Johnson as governor of Minnesota in
1904, to show that the political in
fluence of travelling statesmen is no
mean factor when it is turned in a
definite direction.

SALESME|V CITE
COX'S ATT TACK
GOVERNORS PAPERS PRINTED
EDITORIALS IN 1914 CALLING
TRAVELLING MEN NUISANCE.

Minneapolis, Aug. 9-Slighting re-
made in the two newspapers owned
and managed by Governor James M.
Cox, of Ohio, few years ago, are
being quoted to the governor po-
litical injury. w. r. Mackenzie, for
merly of Minneapolis, but now lum-
ber salesman at Detroit, Mich, is
in the city today and is showing
friends the Cox editorial, now being
circulated by the Ohio republican
state committee for a special atten-
tion of salesmen'
Statesmen in Ohio have heard about
the article before, and it is said to
have played some part in the state
campaigns. 1t appeared Aug. Is,
1914, in the Dayton News, and was
reproduced in Governor Cox's other
newspaper, the Springfield News.
THE art of salesmanship,5 ii
said, "is a good deal of a nuisance to
the public. 1t has come to the point
where every business of any magni-
tude must employ a purchasing
agent, whose time is largely wasted
by men who want to sell him some
thing, and from whom he has no in
tention of buying. Yet he must treat
them courteously and listen to lons
rigmaroles in which he is not in the
least interested
''If there os no purchasing agent
somebody else has to submit to in.

would exercise the first impulses o1
his heart, he would kick them out o
his office if they did not take tn,

stance speaks volumes for the goot
nature of the long suffering business
man."

DUN REPORTS LOWER
TREND IN PRICES
LETUP IN CONSUMPTION TURNS
QUOTATIONS DOWNWARD.

New York, Aug. 9.-Dun's report
of business conditions for the past
week:
Evidence of economic readjust-
ment is varied in character and rec
ognition of the changed conditions is
now more general. Doubt as to the
genuineness of the price reaction
steadily diminishes as successive
comparisons of wholesale quotations
disclose continued yield ng and the
sharply increased comm ercial NOR
tality, as revealed in sta tistics of fail
ures, is an added ina rcation of the
transition in progress.
while the raise in railroad freight
rates, which has influenced sentiment
favOrably, many tend to retard the
deflation of some prices, yet other
elements are operating to depress the
markets for different important COM
mOdities, and the conviction grows
stronger that the leSsened consump-
tive demands will ca use lower prices
in many instances.
Purchasing in anticipation of for
ward requirements is still restricted
or practically absent in leading lines,
reflecting the disposition of buyers to
await further concessions and the eff
fects of the recent cancellations and
revisions of orders are more clearly
apparent in the appreciable curtail-
ment of production at many manufac-
turing establishments.
