Mule Raising
For South Dakota

Brookings, Oct. 2.-That good
mules can be raised in South Dakota
was demonstrated at the county fair
at Roscoe, recently. by fine show
ing of these animals from Edmunds
county farms.
These mules were sound and pro-
missing and will quicker and higher
market than colts would from the
same mare, according to J. G. Holm
es, extension specialist in livestock at
State college.
Rough mares with slight blemishes
generally raise sound mules but are
not safe to raise colts.
There will no doubt be good de-
mand for mules in the coming years
and South Dakota can grow them
Judging from indications at Roscoe
and other points In the state now
raising good mules.
Men with surplus mares, that have
some size. and who are having q hard
time disposing Of young horses. will
find it more profitable to raise mules
than to raise colts. Medium priced
jacks can now be purchased with q
reasonable certainty Of breeding, &c
why not make ready for raising
mules instead Of horses in the com.
ing years.

|OWAN'S DISCOVERY
SUCCESSFUL, BELIEF
OXYGEN POWER-HEAT INVEN.
TION is ACCEPTED BY Gov
ERNMENT EXPERTS ND
SCIENTISTS.

Webster City, Ia, Oct. 2.-"There
is no doubt about the success of the
Bundy discovery. said L. H. McMas-
ters, government chemical engineer,
who is here assisting with detailed
perfection of the power and heat
process discovered by Arthur c..
Bundy. The Bundy discovery is a
cheap process of taking oxygen from
the air to be used for heat and power
purposes.
When / was first sent here was
skeptical," McMasters continued,
land thought it was another fake,
but am thoroughly convinced, after
full tests, that it is the greatest in
vention the world has ever known"
McMasters expects to leave next
week for New York in an automo-
bile, the engine of which will be op-
Grated on oxygen power. He estimates
that the total expense of car opera
tion that distance will not be over
25 cents. A recent trip was made to
Minneapolis by Bundy at cost of 8
cents. An engine especially adapted
for oxygen power is now in the pro-
cess of invention by Bundy, but at
present any motor is used, the spark
plugs, carburetor and ignition tubes
being removed.
1t is estimated that an ordinary
home may be heated for from $40 to
$40 a winter by the Bundy process.
The heat may be increased or de-
creased by air pressure, just as the
speed of an automobile is regulated
by the air pressure.
The chemicals which draw the oxy-
gen from the air are the secret of the
entire process, and one of these is a
substance which may be obtained
from any vegetable or weed that
grows, with the single exception of
the turnip. This substance is mixed
with a second chemical and as the
air passes through this the oxygen is
separated and reduced to a form In
which it may be used as heat or
power.
Bundy exhibited his invention at
the Iowa and Minnesota state fairs,
where it attracted unusual attention.
Since then scientists from all parts
of the country have visited Webster
City to further investigate the inven-
tion. All were more or less skepti-
cal, but everyone went away thor
oughly convinced that "Bundy has
something"
The Bundy invention makes possi-
BILE the running of an automobile for
ten hours day at an average cost
of cents a day. Government ex-
perts were brought here to see the
invention for themselves and to as
sist in protecting the inventor
against the theft of his invention.

HOLD TWO FOR
FREIGHT CAR Theft
ABERDEEN AUCTIONEER BE
TRIED AT WEBSTER ON
CHARGE RECEIVING STOL-
EN- PROPERTY.

Aberdeen, Oct. Harry M.
Baird, auctioneer and dealer in au-
tomobiles and other merchandise in
this city, was placed under bonds OF
$4,000 by a justice of the peace at
Webster to appear in the circuit
court of Day county at the next term,
for trial upon charge of receiving
stolen property.
The specific charge against the de-
fendant is that he received from a
man named John Brown quantity
of leather vests and coats and some
automobile tires, which were said to
have been stole in March of this
year from a freight car on the Mil
waukee railroad while the car was
on the tracks at Bristol.
Brown was arrested for the crime
and was brought to Aberdeen and
held in the Brown county jail for
some weeks for the authorities OF
Day county.
He subsequently confessed the
crime and stated that he had dispos-
ed of the stolen property to.the Aber-
deem auctioneer. An investigation
was made in August and the mer-
chandise was found in the possession
of Baird, who claimed that the
goods had simply been left with him
for storage.
1t is also said to have developed
later that Baird had sold to Brown
an automobile and had taken thu
stolen property as part payment up0r
the car

LOWER PRICES ARE
COMING SOON
MONTHLY REPORT DECLARES
CUTS IN WHOLESALE PRICES
MUST SOON BE FELT.

Washington, d. c. Oct. Price
cutting has taken hold of the whole
sale trade to an extent that soon
must be- felt substantially in lower
prices to consumers. according to the
federal reserve boards monthly busi-
ness review, made public tonight. Q
Revival of the. wave of price re-
duction and its spread to many re-
tail lines was attributed to "a more
exacting demand by the public as to
price and quality" Retail purchas-
ers are. showing continued determ-
ination to wait for dealers to meet
the demands for goods.
Although the board believed the
buying public was largely dominat-
ing the market now, it said that la
bor and production were having a
market effect on prices. There was
much evidence, 1t said, of increased
efficiency on the part OF labor and
as a result production was on the
increase and factory operation begin
ming to approach normal.
Summed up, the boards findings
were that business conditions now
are definitely on the road toward
stability of as great and confirmed
a nature as the disturbed position of
the world at large permits"
Continuance of the process of re-
adjustment in business and industry
has been an outstanding feature of
the last month";" the review said.
This has been accomplished by price
reductions and by the resumption of
work on branches of industry where
hesitation as to future outlook has
led to suspension.
After an apparent slowing down
in the price reduction movement
during midsummer, it has again re-
appeared, and the month of Septem-
ber saw substantial cuts in well
known makes of automobiles, various
classes of textiles, shoes and leather
and other wholesale prices. Reduc-
tions have occurred in a variety of
staples, including wheat. Changes
in prices have tended to make busi-
ness men and bankers cautious about
future commitments"
Drops in prices have featured al
most all of the textile lines, agents
of the various reserve banks report
ed, and they added that, due to re-
ductions already announced by
wholesalers and jobbers, the retail
ers are buying carefully and not In
large Quantities. The retailers at
titude was depicted as conservative
While housing conditions were
represented as being acute in all
communities, the boards figures
held out hope for an early renewal
Of construction. Material prices
show the effect of price cutting in
other commodities and certainly
have passed the peak" the review
said.
Chicago and environs have beer
most favored with respect to price
reductions in building materials and
construction, where, according to the
boards reports, prices fell between
Is and rs per cent during the las,
thirty days. The feeling was said tt
prevail that price revision in this
like other lines of trade. was due tt
spread.

HARD BOILED
SMITH IS FREE
HAS BEEN OUT OF PRISON SINCE
LAST MARCH.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2.-For-
mer Lieut.. Frank H. (Hard Boiled)
Smith, who was convicted by court
martial in France for brutal treat
ment of American soldier-prisoners
and sentenced to eighteen months in
prison, was paroled from Fort Jay,
Y, March 20. and since that time
his sentence reduced for good behav-
ior, has expired, it was stated today
at the war department.
Smith began serving his sentence
in France on May 20, 1919, and was
transferred to Fort Jay on July 81,
1919. 1t was. stated at the depart
ment that because of his good be-
havior in prison he was given a
"home parole" after serving approx
imately ten months. Meantime his
sentence was reduced to fourteen
months and this expired last July 30.
New York, Sept. 30.-Frank H.
(Hard Boiled) Smith, formery army
lieutenant, convicted of courtmartial
of brutal treatment to prisoners in
France, was paroled from Fort Jay
on March 20, after he had served
less than nine and a half months of
his eighteen months term.
This was made known today by the
military authorities at Governors
island after a search of the records
at Fort Jay had cleared NY the mys-
terry surrounding the disposal of
Smith. It was said at Governors
island that the orders for Smiths
release had been issued by the ad-
jutant generals office. at Washing
ton, and had been approved by the
secretary Of war. 1t was believed
Smith had returned to his home in
Ohio.
After Smith had been arrested in
France, he originally was sentenced
to three years at hard labor after
having been found guilty of misus-
ing American soldiers in the prison
camp at Chelles, which he command
ed. This sentence later was reduced
to eighteen months at hard labor at
Fort Leavenworth.
Smith was brought overseas and
confined at Fort Jay pending invesSi-
CATION by a congressional committee
for the treatment of American pri-
soners in France. After this inves-
tigation had been completed it was
generally supposed that Smith had
been taken to Fort Leavenworth to
serve out his sentence, which mem
mers of the committee had expressed
belief was too light.
