THINKS LE|V|NE
RULE VERY FAIR
SOUTH DAKOTA LIEUTENANT
TAKES HOPEFUL VIEW OF
RUSSIAN SITUATION

Milbank, May 12.-That the Len
inc rule in Russia is not so bad as
has been pictured in anti-Lenine
propaganda which has been sent from
Europe to American newspapers is
the opinion of Robert McCrea, son of
well known Grant county farmer,
who has returned from extended SER
vice as lieutenant with the Ameri-
can forces in Siberia. Much of his
time was spent at Vladivostok.
Discussing the situation in Siberia
he stated that while the Lenine rule
is not all that could be desired, it is
not so bad as it has been pictured,
and that in time, if this and the
other allied countries will establish
trade relations with that country,
Russia under it's present rulers will
work out a satisfactory form of DEM
ocratic government.
He states further that the rela-
tions between the Russian people and
the American troops were quite cor
dial, and that the Russians rather re-
gretted to see the American soldiers
depart from Siberia.
Lieut.. McCrea admits that the feel
ing between the japanese soldiers
and the American soldiers was none
too friendly, and states that this is
also true as regards the relations be-
tween the Russians and the Japan
ese.
McCrea further states that while
about 80 per cent of the Russians in
Siberia are uneducated, the other 20
per cent is highly intelligent, even
more than the average American, as
they can speak, read and write in
from two to five languages very flu
emily.

SOCIALISTS CONTEST
OVER PLATFORM
DECLARE HILLQUIST DOCUMENT
PARTY APPEAR "TOO
PARTL APPEAR "TOO
RESPECTABLE''

New York, May IA bitter con-
test over the adoption of the party
platform was promised when the ma
tional convention of the socialist par
ty was reconvened. The Illinois dele
CATION which characterized the tenta-
tive platform presented by Morris
Hillquist as too moderate, announced
its intention of submitting a substi-
tute platform which would be similar
to the radical program of the social
lists in Germany, Russia, Italy and
France.
William F. Kruse of Chicago, de-
clared that the substitute platform
would do away with useless words
and phrases" He said the Hillquist
document would put the socialist
party in the light of trying "to be-
come too respectable" and that it
might just as well be the platform of
the democratic or republican party.
The convention has set Thursday
afternoon at 2 o'clock as the time for
nominating candidates for president
of the United States.

MADISON GETS BEHIND
. THE NEW HOSPITAL
MAY 18TH, DESIGNAT-
ED AS THE DAY FOR THE
COMPLETION OF
THE DRIVE

The meeting of the business men
of Madison at the Commercial Club
last week in the interest of the hos
pital has served to awaken an inter-
est that assures the speedy consum
nation of this much needed institu-
ton.
The generous response from the
country has made our citizens feel
the necessity of doing their part and
to attain this end the committee of
10 appointed by the commercial club
to further plans for the completion of
the New Hospital has designated
Tuesday, May Is, as hospital day, on
which day the captain of the teams
for the different wards will start
early with their lieutenants to can
vass the several wards for subscrip-
tions to complete the new Madison
hospital
The meeting of the business men
lively few of the citizens and busi-
ness men are aware of what beauti-
full structure the new hospital is and
it is planned to have every business
man in Madison and as many of the
citizens as can visit the new hotspital
on Friday of this week.
No person having an interest in the
community can fail to be convinced
by visit to the new hospital of what
this great enterprise will mean to the
community. More than one hundred
thousand dollars have been 'tually
put in the building and or thirty
five thousand or thereabout = need
ed to complete and equip the hospi-
tai. 1t is planned to have the work
of completion finished within thirty
days. Many churches, lodges and
public spirited citizens have equipped
memorial rooms, so every important
civic and religious institution in the
city and many in the county will feel
that they are integral parts of this
splendid enterprise. Let the citizens
of Madison do their part and we will
have equipped and in operation with
in sixty days one of the finest and
most beautiful hospitals in the state.

ARE UNDER ARREST
STORE ROBBED FRI
DAY OF $4,000 WORTH PLUM
DER SOON RECOVERED

Sioux Falls, May 12.-Sheriff Her
man Wangsnness did a fine piece of
work Saturday afternoon which re-
suited in the placing behind the bars
of three Sioux Falls men charged
with robbing a general store at Sher-
man. The men are James Daley, an
old offender who was for number
of years the head of the well known
DALEY gang" which worked out of
Sioux Falls and operated in this part
of South Dakota and in Iowa and
known Sioux Falls man, whose name
was connected with the looting of
number of cellars of their liquid con-
tents several months ago, and James
Wood, who has no criminal reputa-
tion so far as the local officers know
Saturday morning Sheriff Wangs-
ness was notified of the robbery Of
Sherman when a large quantity OF
silks, shoes and 60 suits of clothing,
besides a small amount of cash was
taken. Sheriff Wangsness went to
Sherman and while there was in
formed that an automobile and its
contents had been abandoned in q
ditch about two miles from Garrett

ANOTHER RAISE
IN SUGAR PRICE
PERMITS WHOLE
SALERS AND RETAILERS AD-
OPTIONAL MARGIN

Sioux Falls, May 12.-At the
authorization of Special Assistant At
torney General Howard Figg, United
States District Attorney E. w. Fiske,
acting fair price commissioner for
South Dakota, announced that effec-
tive Immediately wholesalers and re-
tailers will be allowed an increase in
their margin of profit on sugar by so
per cent.
The new margin shall not exceed
$3.50 hundred pounds for whole
salers and three cents a pound for
retailers, a change of from S hun
dred pounds and two cents a pound
respectively.
Mr. Fiske said that the decision on
the new margin of profit was made
after a thorough study of the situa-
ton. The United States attorney has
ascertained that the fair price COM
missioner of Nebraska has allowed a
similar margin. He is of the opinion
that conditions as regard the sugar
trade are similar in South Dakota to
those in Nebraska.
Today Mr.. Fiske was attempting to
get in communication with United
States District Attorney Frank /
O'Connor, fair price commissioner for
the northern district of Iowa to deter
mine the new mareip for Iowa, and
whether it has been put in effect
there or not However, the findings
in this case will have no effect on the
original announcement for South Da.
kota, he said.
The communication received by Mr.
Fiske from Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Figg says in part: Because OF
the state of the sugar market which
among other factors, necessitates the
| tying up of abnormal Volumes o.
capital on the part of legitimate deal
ers in order to supply the popular de
mand, it is deemed advisable to per
the fair margins of profits on sugar
heretofore announced by the depart
ment according to the needs and sur
rounding circumstances in the var
ious states.
1.-The element of replacement value
will not be considered The suga
market is at present in state con
ducive to speculation and the depart
ment is determined not to let the pub
lie suffer from this condition. Suga
may be sold only on a basis of cos
plus reasonable margin of profit tn
latter element to be determined b
fair price commissions as hereinafte
pointed out"
With local wholesale and retail
prices ranging from 16 to 80 cents
pound the immediate effect on the lo
cal market as regards the consume
will hardly be noticed, dealers said.
AS they explained the matter ther
are hardly two different retailers i
Sioux Falls selling sugar at the sam
price and that the retailer sets hi
price almost invariably after the RI
ceipt of the bill for certain shipment
One wholesaler said he sold suga
: at $20.15 last week but that at tn
same time he had contracted for
carload for $25 hundred pounds
be delivered June Is. Others are sal
to have paid all the way from SIG
s32 a hundred pounds.

Explorers Attacked by
Strange Savages

New York, May 12.-Blonde In
dians seven feet tall who wore tiger
claws through their lips and little
else in the way of raiment attacked
the exploring party of Doctor Alex
ander Hamilton Rice for four days
along the Orinoco river, according to
Doctor Rice, who has just returned
from South America. Indians be-
lieved cannibals were kept off by fire
arms.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1920-05-12

is also due to an increase in produe-
tiop. South Dakota farmers produced
anu sold to creameries during the fis-
cal year of 1919 24,393,171 pounds
of butterfat, from which 29,599,22
pounds of creamery butter was made.
This was an increase in production
over the fiscal year 1918 of 1,126,-
828 pounds of butter, or about 4 per
cent.
Creamery butter production for
1919 as compared with the record 10
years previous of 16,057,711 pounds
of butter, shows an increase in the
10 years of about "a per cent.
