Police chiefs and sheriffs
throughout the state are in
receipt of a request from the in
dustrial commission TO more
rigidly enforce the automobile
law. This law became effective

difficulty in procuring proper

These conditions have changed
and advices received by the in

SOUTH DAKOTA
LEGISLATURE:
NORTH DAKOTA NONPARTISAN
PROPOSITIONS ARE
REJECTED

Pierre, June 26-The joint state
unanimously reported against intro
duction of state bank, state commits
sion and bond bills, this being their
last day for introduction of bills in
the special session. Both houses of
the legislature were in recess until
this afternoon to allow committees to
shape up all bills they desire to pre-
sent. There is likely TO be a long
list ready for first reading when they
meet. The joint educational COM
mittee of the two houses unanimous
ly agreed to the bill to prohibit the
teaching of foreign language in any
of the primary schools of the state,
either public or private.
The joint committee on the hydro
electric plan decided this was not an
opportune time under present condi-
tions to push action and no definite
bill along that line will be presented
as planned at this time.
The matter of delays of admins
trration of justice are to be consider
ed by a commission to be appointed
for that purpose with power to pro-
pose legislation or constitutional
amendment TO the end of simplifica-
ton along that line under bill intro
duced in the house. This matter was
mentioned in the message of Gov.
Norbeck at the opening of the ses-
sion
While the senate has introduced a
resolution for constitutional
amendment for soldiers bonus, a
house bill proposes an appropriation
for temporary medical aid to all of
the disabled soldiers, and the selec-
tion of a representative to obtain and
disseminate information az to voca-
tional training for such soldiers.
The question of aid to home build
ers in cities is covered by resolu-
| ton for a constitutional amendment
authorizing a fund for this purpose
and providing for its control.
The house passed the bill which
would authorize the state immigra-
| tion commissioner to continue EN-
ployment bureaus which have beer
maintained by the government up tC
| this time, but for which the fedora
! funds have been exhausted. If thu
senate accepts the measure the worl
will be continued by the state.
i The senate killed several proposed
increases in salaries of state deputies
and put it's seal of disapproval OF
that line of legislation.

He said he would like to have the

said:

MANY FIELDS LAID
BARE BY STORMS
STATE MAY PAY $4,000 AS RE-
SUIT OF SEVERE STORMS
IN JUNE

Sioux Falls, June 26.-Damage
from hail storms in South Dakota so
far this year to small grain has been
between Is and S5 per cent and to
corn from 10 to 25 per cent, G. A.
Gustafson of Trent, state hail insur-
ance adjuster declared today. For
this damage the state will be re-
quired to pay approximately $4,000,
he estimated
Gustafson, who came to Sioux
Falls today from Salem, has been
adjusting losses in the state for the
last 10 days. He left almost immedi-
ately for Viborg and Wagner.
He found in his tour of the state
that approximately 80 per cent of
the farmers who suffered partial or
complete loss of their crops did not
carry the state insurance. Naturally,
he said, these farmers expressed re-
gret at having become exempt from
the insurance.
I'm many cases l found small
grain fields laid bare" said Mr.. Gus
tafson. "The damage will run up in
to the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. | could see that in most cases
where the fields We're entirely de-
stroyed that there had been a good
stand. Corn also was damaged con-
siderably but it is already beginning
to recover. In this case corn will
only get set back in it's growth and
will at least make part of a crop"
In some parts of the state especial
ly northwest and northeast of Salem,
Gustafson said he found apple trees
has not only been stripped of the
small apples, but had been left bare
by the storm.
Farm houses and outbuildings in
some vicinities were Scared and
marked by the severe storm, he
said. They looked as if they had
| been fired on by guns filled with
buck shot. l had no idea that the
storm was so severe. l found that
| where the hail stones were small and
covered every inch of ground that
| the loss was most severe. Where the
stones were large the damage was
not so great"
Gustafson said the loss from hail
was light in the vicinity of Sioux
Falls. However, he noticed great
damage from wind. South and east
from the city, many farm houses
barns and outbuildings were leveled
with the ground, he said.
''The storm of June 10 seemed to
have caused the most damage" Gus
tafson said. Farmers in the vicinity
of Salem, Unityville, Spencer, Emery
and Alexandria were the hardest hit
The storm was also severe down in
| Turner and Charles Mix counties"

Tribune.

ODD FELLOWS
ENJOY PICNIC
MEMBERS AND FAMILIES HAVE
LAKESIDE DINNER AND IN
TERESTING BALL GAME

Several hundred people including
members of the local Odd Fellows
lodge and their families had very
enjoyable picnic at Lake Herman
yesterday afternoon. Following the
dinner which was served between
seven and eight o'clock two ball
teams were made up and an interest
ing game was put on. Winfred played
Madison. During the progress of the
game the locals used two pitchers,
Frank Stanford and George Kiner.
The other end of the battery were
Hugh Simpson and Heggem. The
lineup was as follows: M. Fl. Col
grove l b.; f. l.. Burnett, 2 b.; the
two pitchers alternated on b.; the
catchers alternated as IS. Henry Nc
Brayer, +. f.; T. Odell, C. f.; f. w.
! Schultz, |. f.
A nine inning game was played
| and at the end of the 9th inning the
| score was a tie, 9 to 8. After that
| Madison's pitcher weakened and
| Winfred pulled nine points to the
| good, making the final result stand
Is to in favor of the visiting broth
| ers.
The grounds for the picnic game
| were muddy and the playing rather
| heavy. No home runs were recorded
| but several brilliant double plays
were observed. +. l.. Burnett
| proved to be the heaviest hitter. He
got his base on balls five times and
| made four good hits. COlgrove
starred in his position at first.
| Schultz nearly fell asleep in left
| field but when a sphere came his way
| his big paws gobbled it up-or muff-
ed it. McBrayer seemingly tangled
| himself in the trees clumsily to the
discontinue of those who depended
on his skill. Madison's spectacular
play was made by Odell in center
| field. He nearly winded himself on
high flies in his position, but, good
work at that.
Winfred's star performer was Ar
4 thur Leight, who played the Nright
| field and did some heavy hitting
| Johnson of Winfred made the longest
hit. The ball hasn't been found yet
The most unique position on the
| Winfred outfit was that of manager
filled by Hall, who appointed himself
! official scorekeeper. Tom Bliss as
umpire made most alarming and
ruinous decisions. His mistakes
were divided between the two teams
on a basis of fifty-fifty, so harmony
I the spirit of Odd Fellowship, pre-
vailed in both camps.
The Gayety orchestra furnished
the music for the dance that follow
ed the game.

MOST POPULAR
SUMMER RESORT
EFFORTS OF THE DIRECTORS OF
THE LAKE MADISON CHAU-
TAUQUA ASSOCIATION

The 90" ID of directors is making
an earnest effort to make the chau-
tauqua grounds the most attractive
summer resort in the northwest.
They are spending much time and
energy in this work. They are also
spending large sums of money, and
it will require the cooperation of the
people of Madison to make it a suc-
cess. Many thousands of dollars are
spent there every year and the bulk
of it stays in Madison. 1t means a
substantial increase in the business
of every business man in town.
The new dance pavilion is the
finest in this part of the country.
Monday committee will visit you
and ask you to buy ticket to the
benefit dance June 30th. Civic
pride ought to prompt anyone to buy
a ticket whether they dance or not,
and boost this new enterprise.
