OF rain fell in Wood and the country
to the north and east and as far west
as White River, and as far south as
the county line also received a pretty
good soaking This rain came just
at the proper time to give the corn
that is just starting TO tassel and silk,
big boost. We are told that the
western end of Mellette county, and
especially the Cedarbutte community,
is very dry, and they have not had
any rain to speak of since June.
Here is hoping that this arid secticn
of our county will also get a good
drenching rain ere long.

LITTLE DOING IN THE
 WOOL MARKET YET

If it were not for the announce ment that the American Woolen com pany will reopen parts of its mills on September 13, the Boston wool mar ket would have been utterly devoid of interest this week. Very little wool is selling, and then only in exceedingly small lots, where snrewd buyers are able to secure desirable wools at bar gain prices. Confidence is growing among wool men that Labor Day will be the turning point in the market and that from that time will date better demand and larger sales. No new fea- lures are reported from the west, ex- cept possibly that shipments have fall en off since the new freight rates went into effect. In the fleece wool sections occasional small clips are being se- cured by Boston dealers at what they consider high prices, but which the av- craze wool grower thinks far below real value. London continues to show strength for merinos and fine cross breds, with a much larger proportion of offerings being sold than in recent series.

ARIZONA GENTLEMEN APPEAL
 FOR GOVERNMENT AID

DOUGLAS.-Resolutions appealing to the secretary of the treasury for Legitimate and deserving" aid in the financial crisis facing cattlemen were adopted at the closing session of the Cochise- Graham Cattle Growers as- sociation. Other resolutions opposed increases in grazing fees on national forests and urged amendments to the state livestock law which was declarI ed not to provide entirely adequate protection for the livestock industry.
 A committee was appointed to in- vestigate provisions of the proposed law, which, it was said, would require license to kill fur-bearing animals and which might work a hardship on cat tlemen.

A $40 OyOOO house and lot has been bought by Me Dowell county court and turned over to the Legion for home.
 A definite downward trend in the price of sugar in many localities is being attributed in part to the cam paign inaugurated by the Palm Beach, Fla, Post for 15-cent sugar and the establishment of 15-cent sugar clubs in all parts of the country.
 The first issue of permanent char ters to Legion posts whose applica- tlons have been approved by their respective department headquarters recently was made from national headquarters.

 The American Legion Weekly has brought to the attention of the bureau of war risk insurance and other gov. ernment officials several cases in which red tape and delay have inflict. ed serious hardships upon disabled ex- service men and their relatives.

Ne,cs of Soldiers and Sailors

When the convention of the Ameri- can Legion meets in Cleveland on Sept. 27, to- run for three days, the question of the entrance of the vet erans' organization into politics is cer- tain to come up for discussion, accord ing to reports gathered from various states by the American Legion Week. ly. California Legionnaires have ad- yocated placing Legion ticket in the field and unofficial reports from Okla homa and Tennessee have told of the activity of individual Legionnaires in the campaigns of candidates for state and national public offices. The atten- ton of the Leggionaires in these cam paigns has been focused on the can didate's war records.
 Friendly rivalry between yarious cities for the 1921 convention of the Legion now is being manifested. Bids for next years meeting will be ad- vanced by at least four big cities through their delegates. San Fran CISCO, Detroit, Kansas City and New Orleans already are in the competition and many other cities are expected to follow their lead.

Among these is the Amalga. mated Order of Hard- Boiled Eggs, Post No. of this society, located in El Paso, Tex, chose Friday the thir. teenth of August as the date for one of it's meetings.

Bound to Have Daylight Saving.

Notwithstanding the incomprehensiblo
action of Congress in repeating the almost
universally popular Daylight Saving law,
it is evident a very large part of tho coun-
try, especially the cities, will do their best
to continue for another season at least the
scheme that worked so admirably during
the summers of 1918 and 1919. In New
York tho system has been established by
State law, as we'll as by municipal or
dinance in a number of cities, and went
into operation on Monday. Philadelphia,
after enacting Daylight Saving ordi-
nance was compelled to repeal it by rea-
son of the ordinance being in conflict
with State law. The people of Phila-
delphia are insistent upon having the
system continued, however. and large
number of business houses and nearly all
the manufacturing establishments VIII
begin the days operations an hour earlier
and close an hour earlier throughout the
summer and early fall.
These proceedings go to show the great
popularity Of the daylight saving scheme
throughout the country, especially In the
cities II il had not been n gratifying
success during the two summers OF its
trial under national law, there would not
have been such general return to 1T this
summer under local ordinances. The
members Of Congress who repealed the law
because il was objected to bv farmers IN
many sections must realize bv this time
that their destructive work is displessing
to thousands Of citizens. This palpablc
fact may have some influence In inducing
them to rc-enact the popular and valuable
law. IL ie hoped -.
Our own City Council passed Dav-
light Saving ordinance, effective April 80,
Despite the slight difficulties that Will be
encountered here, as we'll as nearly every
where under local enactments. there are
evidences that the people of Wilmington
desire a continuance of the system. Some
industrial establishments already have
entered upon the changed hours ot begin
ming and stopping work, and 1t IS prob
able that all will come in when the or
dinance becomes operative. The matter
of overcoming whatever difficulties may
be encountered in respect OF trains, Open
ing and closing Of banks, and other IN
conveniences that may be inseparabie
with the change is now being considered,
and there is hardly doubt our people
will desire that the proposed experiment
of daylight saving under local instead of
general enactment be tried for the COM
ing summer, at least.

PRESS COMMENTS.
MAKING READY FOR NEXT WAR

A French inventor has sold TO the gov
eminent the patent on new gun with q
range, as shown by tests, of from 10O TO
100 miles. Great Britain Is negotiating Tor
the right to manufacture this weapon, and
Belgium has cannon OF it's own oil equal

the world come reports OF the production
of gases and explosives so terrible in their
destrlctiveness as to suggest annlhilation.
Wherever naval construction is under
way the warshlps soon to be IN service
are monsters undreamed OF ten years ago.
The seventy-milc gun with which the
Germans began the bombardment of
Paris in March, 1918, was thought by
many to be "A myth, but investigation
proved its reality and that its practlcabil-
ity was not unknown to the people against
whom it was used. As with gas and sub

devices Of death, even the dissemination
of contagion, the use of such instruments
depended upon the desperation OF the
nation conducting hostIlitles. The last
months of the great war found all the

threatened not armies and strongholds
alone but civilization itself.

MARS STILL ON THRONE.

Washington that had this country been
face to face with Germany at the beginning
of the war il would be paying indemnity
to the Kaiser az the present moment .
Whatever truth there may be in this, there
is a large body of truth IN the prediction
that unless this country shall continue 10
make military preparations upon the
scale OF its needs, it will face situation
fifteen or twenty years hence that Will
be vastly menacing. whether from the
Atlantic or the Pacific side. That is,

If a Democrat Should DO This.

Of Imprisonment for two wears, announces
that until the final determination OF his
case he will refrain from occupying his
seat m the United States Senate. He will
rot, however, resign but viii remain a
Senator Of the United States-a Senator
under conviction and sentence.
OF course Senator Newberry will
fight his conviction through various courts
and endeavor 70 have the verdict set
aside bv higher courts But he will not
resign. And so the country viii be COM

POSTWAR DUTIES.

No nation. during the great war, sur
passed the American people IN spirit OF
devotion and self-sacrIiiee. But with the
signing of the armistice a relaxation and
desire To live under conditions even more
prosperous than obtained before the war
became apparent This change has trans
formedan enthusiastic into discontented
nation. utterly forgetful Of the fact that
the winning of the war cntallcd the further
duty OF recuperating from the losses OF
the war
When the crews have worked heroically
and manlully in a storm and the elements
are subdued, the battered ship cannot
continue on its voyage until the damage
has been repaired to make the vessel sea
worthy This is precisely the case with
the nation Great losses are the after
effects of the war, and life under normal
conditions cannot be taken up again until
at least 90 some extent theyhav been re
paired If this is neglected the ship OF
our union will not be so strong as IT was
before, even considerably weaker.
From this arise the public duties after
the war, and, being of financial nature,
patriotism first of all must manifest itself
bv forbearing all claims and demands that
have the effect of weakening the govern
ment IN its most vital part. which is her
financial standing. and positive help also
must be extended by assisting the govern
ment in canceling her obligations,
all of which calls for economy.
II this were pracuccd, IT would alleviate
the most serious cause Of trouble-the
insistent demands for shorter working
hours and higher wages. If this Is per
sisted in, the after effects Of the great
struggle for freedom and safety Will not
disappear in generations, while, with due
moderation in the demands on life, perfect
recovery will be established in a compar-

PUBLIC ITY FOR CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Governor Lowden has shown Irompt
sagacity in offering to make his own
campaign receipts and expenditures fully
public. This constitutes a challenge which
General Woods managers ought not 80
fail TO toke up Thus far they have made
only general denials and complaints.
They assert that the newspaper reports
are inaccurate and wildly exaggerated
that not a cent has been spent illegiti-
mately. This morning, General Wood
himself declares that Senator Borah's
"attack" is nicely timed to Influence
adversely the primary vote IN Michigan
April 5.
Well. if the attack Is unfounded, the
best way TO break it is to let the whole
truth be known. If vast sums have not
been secretly subscribed, put slander
to shame by showing Just what modest
amounts have been gwen by whom.
1t Is not merely question of campaigning
for the nomination. The suspicion and
charges, if not laid now by perfect frank
ness, will run over into the election. 1t
Is better to meet the matter now and
conclusively General Wood states that
his managers stand ready TO answer all
proper inquiries concerning expenditures. y
The "proper" reply is to open the books.
This should be done before anything
