HUSKERs DEMAND
A HIGHER SCALE
LOAF IN TOWNS RATHER THAN
WORK FOR PRICES BEING OF.
FERED BY FARMERS.

Yankton, Oct. 2S.-Farmers in
this section of the state ar confront
cd with a puzZling situation with re-
gard to the harvesting of their corn
Dependent in large part, as they us.
ually are, upon the drifting labor
from the norths this year finds the
drifters more independent than
ever, and entirely unwilling to husk
corn for the and cents per bushel
wage agreed upon by the farmers of
this section.
The farm, bureau office of Yank-
ton county has been besieged the
past week by farmers i'm serious need
of help, and the first of the present
week found more than so calls for
help untitled and with no help in
sight. Itinerant farm hands are
loafing" in town rather than pick
corn for the wage offered, according
to the farm bureau, demanding as
high as 8 and cents per busheI in
many instances.
AT the opening of the corn picking
season farmers of this section had
agreed upon a wage and 5 and s
cents. for corn unloaded by elevator
and by shovel, respectively. Later
the scale was raised to and z cents.
In view of the big drop in the price
of corn farmers feel unable to go
above the present offer, and in the
hope of continued open weather
many will undertake to harvest their
crop without outside help.

WOMAN SPEAKER
MAKES POINTS
MRS. GADDIS, SEATTLE, PROVES
no BE ONE BEST ORATORS
NOW CAMPAIGNING IN
STATE.

Miller, Oct. 2S.-Mrs Edith r.
Gaddis, of Seattle, Wash, speaking
in this state under the auspices of the
national republican committee, ad-
dressed a crowded house in this city,
coming here from a weeks speaking
trip in towns in the southern part of
the state. Mrs. Gaddis has been
greeted with crowded houses
throughout her trip, and expresses
herself as well pleased with the pros
poets of a republican victory in this
state next Tuesday. She is chair
man of the King County Womens
Republican club in Washington and
prominent in the political activities
of that state.
Speaking of the democratic coven-
ant of the league of nations, Mrs.
Gaddis said that it might be her
right to mortgage the birthright of
America, in so far as she was con-
cerned and for the duration of her
life, but it was manifestly unfair to
mortgage the birthright of Americas
children that are to follow in the
years to come.
That If this nation adopted the
covenant and then the congress of
the country refused to declare war
when so requested by the council of
the league, three proposals were
open.
First, they would be in the posi-
tion of having repudiated the treaty,
and consequently be Immediately in
volved in war with the other MEM
bers.
Second, they would be the victims
of reprisals on the part of othe other
nations if they did not; and third,
they could go to war. with all its
attendant horrors and sorrows.
Mrs. Gaddis expressed the feeling
that American mothers would look
the covenant over carefully before
voting for the administration that
fathered it.
In regard to this point she stated
that it was the same administration
that four years ago, told us to vote
its ticket on the grounds that "it kept
us out of war" Now it asks us to
support the plan which it again tells
us will keep us out of war. The plea
= the same today as 1t was then
both are equally false"
Passing to items of democratic
nxfrSyxsAncs, Krs. Gaddis called at
tention to the fact that the admins
tration had purchased eight saddles

Pierre, Jan. ia combination OF
alfalfa and sugar cane ground togeth-
er Is one of the products for cattle
feeding which is being tried out by
growers in this part of the state, or
will be as soon as they can get the
feed in shape for trial.
One Of the products of alfalfa
which is put upon the market con-
tains certain percentage of cheap
molasses, and it is believed that the
sugar cane will supply the place of
molasses in this mixture.
Years of effort have demonstrated
that both alfalfa and sugar cane are
crops which can be grown in the CEN
trail and western part of the state ev-
cry year, bringing the growers a
heavy crop of forage.
III the two can be combined in a
ground forage feed, the stock grower
can feel certain that he can easily
supply himself with the necessary
concentrated product to carry his
herds through a siege of storm and
cold.
In this same line cattle growers
are finding that ground alfalfa goes
further, and apparently makes a bet
ter feed for their stock than the hay
without preparation, and alfalfa
grinding mills will become more nu-
merous over the state when this fact
is once permanently developed.

Clothing Prices
to Be Higher

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Clothing prices
next spring will be from 25 to 40 per
cent higher than at present, accord
ing to HI. r. King, of Seattle, who
addressed the National Retail Cloth
iers' association today.
Mr. King said that the increase
would come from complexity of
causes, among which was increased
wages to workers. Mr.. King also cit
ed the decrease in working hours and
the increase of Australian wool from
$1.15 a pound in 1914, to $40 a
pound now.
''The coming year will be most
crucial one for clothing merchants, :"
he said. "It will not SO much be a
question of making money as to keep
the business from going to the
rocks"

CHARGE GRIEF
COMMERC|AL|zED
RELATIVES OF SOLDIER DEAD
SAY ATTEMPTS ARE BEING
MADE TO PROFIT BY
MOVING BODIES.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Charges by
relatives of American soldiers buried
in France that undertakers and 9TH
ers were attempting to commercialize
their grief in connection with the
movement to have the bodies brought
home, were presented to the senate
by Senator Thomas, democrat, of Col
orado.
II do not know whether the charge
is true" Senator Thomas declared,
"but it is in line with a number of
circumstances that developed since
the close of the war, showing there
is some sort of an organization that
is designed to derive profit from the
plan of returning the bodies"
Stephen II. Early, former captain
of infantry, and secretary of the
American Field of Honor association,
asked the foreign affairs committee
to give hearing to the associations s
representatives before acting finally.
The association does not oppose re-
turn of any soldier body if requested
by next of kin. but proposes a perma-
nent memorial cemetery in France
for those who remain there, and rec
ommends against blanket return of
the bodies, because, it says, parents
proposing this will have no complete
assurance that they will receive the
remains of their loved ones, in many
cases, but may ever receive the re-
mains Of Germans.

FINERY AND WAS AR
RESTED.

Gate City, Jan. 15.-A human in
terest story was unwound In the To-
cal courts here a fe wdays ago, a
story that with little fixing would
sound like some of the things one
'reads" in the movies.
Myrtle McCollum, of Ogden, Utah,
stopped for the night at local hotel
while en- route to a distant part OF
the state. The bellboy accidentally
carried the wrong suitcase to her
room. 1t was so nearly like the one
she had carried into the hotel that
she did not notice the difference.
Opening it she discovered a mistake
had been made for this suitcase con-
tanned expensive clothing, dresses Of
latest fashion and finest texture.
Myrtle had been denied such
things in her short married life which
recently ended in the divorce court.
She hid one of the beautiful dresses
in her room, called the bell boy, no.
titled him of the error and soon had
her own baggage. The next morning
she took an early train for the east,
but was arrested at Chamberlain.
The missing dress was found in her
suitcase. She was returned here for
trial. was found guilty and fined $50,
but the matter was adjusted and she
was allowed to proceed on her jour-
ney.
Court officials agreed she was not
dishonest did not really mean to
steal. They felt that the sight of the
rich things so long denied her over
came her Judgment.
