THE BOIL WORM WILL BE
STEAMED; POISON HAS FAILE[
Cotton Mill Men Decide on Measure
to Save Seed.

NEW ORLEANS.-The pink boil
worm. more destructive to cotton
than the boil weevil, is to be steamed.
Poisoning has failed to kill the
pest, but it is expected that steam
ing will do the job and make 1T pos
sible for oil mills to handle seed from
Infected territory.
The decision was the outcome of a
here between superln-
tendents of cotton seed mills IN Lou,
isiana and other places where seed
has been purchased from areas
known to be infected with the worm.

farming operations as he should
gathered at the Weed farm Wednes
day Of last week, and they proceeded
to haul and stack ten acre field OF
rye that was needing attention. The
rye was very heavy and there were
40 big loads Of it, but these good
nelghbors made short work of the
task. Those who participated in this
staching bee were kalph Harper, } q
Cordell, Fred Matouseck, Jimmie
Hicks, Tom Mclean and Buck
Lookbill. Mrs. Cordell provided a
mighty fine feed for this party of will
ing workers 1t is acts like this one
that makes one feel that it is worth
while to live in Mellette county and
the great Rosebud country.

THIEVES STILL AT WORK

Thieves visited the threshing rig in
charge of X. Week and Mr.. SNYDER
last Monday night. They were thresh
ing rye for Wheeler Il Boucher lust
NORTH of town and that night came to
town 70 sleep. The next morning
they went out to start up the rig, and
found :hat thief had visited them
during the night, breaking open the
tool box and carrying away practically
all their tools and some of Mr.. Weeks
clothing, they also tampered with THE
engine, causing the engineer more or
less trouble before he could get things
running smooth y again the next morn
ing. This was certainly pretty mean
trick, especially when one considers
that everyone is very anxious to thresh
while this good weather lasts, and
every minutes delay counts. There
is entirely too much Of this thieving
going on anyway, and united effort
should be made to catch the guilty
party or parties and see that lust
punishment is meted out to them.

WINS FIRST PRIZE ON APPLES
AT TRIP COUNTY FAIR.

Col. G. 2. Jordan Of Orchard Ranch
south of Wood, sent an exhibit of his
apples and crab apples to the Tripp
County Fair at Winner last week ard
this exhibit easily topped anything in
the way of apples exhibited at this
Fair and he was given first prize on
both apples and crab apples The
exhibit was then sold to a Winner
gentleman for five dollars. Col. Jor
dan this week has two different exhib
its of his fruit on display at the State
Fair ut Huron. He prepared one dis
play at the request Of the Indian De
partmen., and County Agent Lang
also took an exhibit with him to show
in his display of Mellette county pro
ducts.
Orchard Ranch is indeed very in
terestng place to visit. The Colonel
is one of the real old timers OF this
"NN''Ch h"'ihS oPCut tuC ElcdtcI pdTb
of his life on the Rosebud, and il
caught in the right mood, can enter
tain his guests for hours with many
interesting tales Of early frontier life.
He also has one of the finest co!.ec
tons Of Indian bead work in the en-
tire country, that is valued at any
where from. So 900 to $4,000. Real
genuine Indian bead work is becom
ing very scarce and real good work of
this character is almost priceless. A
number of collectors have of late been
using their persuasive powers to try
and induce the Colonel to pa,t with
this magnificent collection OF real
Indian art work. The Colonel is one
Of our most hospitible citizens and is
always glad to see visitors at his quiet

MELLETTE COUNTY AT THE
STATE FAIR.

County Agent Lang has gathered
up fine collection of Mellette Coun
ty grasses, grains, vegetables and
fruits, and last Saturday morning left
for Huron where he is this week show
ing the visitors to the State Fair what
MeIlette county can produce. There
j. no quest'ol but what many of the
visitors to the State Fair will view the
Mellette county exhibit with real won
der and marvel at the fine wheat, oats
barley, rye, corn, alfalfa, fruits, and
vegetables that this, the new est of all
South Dakota counties, can and does
produce every year This exhibit
should be the means of attracting the
attention of many who heretofore have
considered the "west Of the river"
country sort OF barren spot fit only
for range stock. We are not going to
be hit surprised to see County Agent
L1e'r bring several blue ribbons back
with him.
County Commissioner p. G.. Nc
Mcdonald informs Us that when Coun
ty Agent Lang returns from Huron
with the exhibit, be expects to take it
to various poins in onr county and
show it to our people. II this is done
we will give the dates hen the ex
hibt will be shown in Wood at fu
ture issue, and on that day we will
also try and arrange to have those who
entered our boys corn growing con
test this year to bring in their best
ten ears OF corn grown on their acre
Of contest corn this year, and we will
award the trophy cup on that day.
SO boys, watch the Pioneer for the
date on which you are to bring in your
corn. Better gather the best ten ears
you can find in your acre field as soon
as possible so as to be ready.

closed the real purpose behind events
 thus far reported.
 It was well understood therefore,
 that for the present at least General AL
 len will confine himself strictly to a
 maintenance of the status quo in the
 Coblenz sector, so far as this relates to the maintenance of order. This could be done, it is thought, without interference with any political changes which the German population may seek to make.
 Should q general strike extend to the American section, as Is threatened, General Aliens situation might become more involved.
 Inhabitants of the sector would not, it was thought, be permitted to suffer | for necessities of life, and the line of communications of the American army must be kept open. While General Al | len has large discretion as to measures necessary in such an emergency, it was ! believed that beyond warning strike l leaders against any acts having this effect, he would scarcely do more than operate the public utilities with troops and such civilians as he might need | to replace strikers.
 | In reviewing the German political I situation as shown In press advices, 1 officials noted the apparent split be- tween northern and southern Germany over the new government. They also saw signs of rekindling of the radical Spartacan movement as force to op- | pose assumption of power by the re- actionaries A flare-up of the most radical elements in Germany was be- coming increasingly imminent, 1t was said. Union of the divergent socialist parties already has been reported from various parts of Germany, and it was thought general strike was only like
 ly to open the way for further disor-
 der and anarchy.
 The sharp cleavage between the
 northern and southern states reflected
 in reports of the adherence of Han
 over to the new government and of
 Saxony and Bavaria to the old, it was
 said, was not an unexpected develop
 ment.
 Liberalism has always thrived in the
 south, and alignment of liberal states
 with the old government and reaction
 ary states with the new made officials
 here all the more inclined to question
 liberal protestations of leaders of the new regime.

 Mr. Figg is in Birmingham in the interest of the campaign being waged by the department of Justice to lower the cost of living.
 He has some interesting facts to dls- close at this time which will be of in- terest to the business men of Birming- ham along the lines of reconstruction. Every Kiwanian, Rotarian, Civitan and member of the Community Clup IS urged to be present
 How to Reduce the High Cost of Living" will be the subject of the talk Mir. Figg will make to the women ol Birmingham this afternoon at o:oV o'clock at the Business Women's Club on Twenty first street. Mrs. Edith C. Strauss, who is director of women work also will make a short talk. The women of Birmingham are invited to be present and these speakers have some interesting information to dis close.
 Mrs. J. E. Frazier, local director o1 women's activities in the fight agains' the high cost of living, who took steps to secure MT. Figg's visit to Birming' ham, announces a most interesting pro gramme for the day.

measures. War department officials had hoped that General Allen would re- port on the conference of allied com manders on the Rhine with Marshal Foch, but no such message had come when the department closed.
 The state department had an official report of a general strike in Hamburg. with the military in control and no dis orders. The message did not show when it was filed, however.
 Other advices were largely sum maries of press accounts from Ger many or from cities near the German border.
 There was much speculative discus- sion again in war and state depart ment circles today as to the status of General Aliens troops on the Rhine, in view of the fact that the American forces alone are there under armistice conditions. Disagreement was ex- pressed as to whether they would be under the orders of Marshal Foch as supreme commander.
 Some war department officials thought that technically. the marshals authority might still extend to Gen. eral Aliens command. Other officials held however, that the treaty of Yer sailles had abrogated the French lead CTS authority, at least So far as the Americans were concerned.
 In any case, Secretary Bakers view appeared to render the question purely an academic one. He said General AL len was vested with authority to pre- serve order in his area and that any other action contemplated involving his forces would have to await specific ap- 1,rnvaI from WaShinRton
 Military action by any of the occu- pying forces, 1t was pointed out, would be contingent more upon the character of the revolutionary change In Ger many than upon the revolution itself The change of government would be only of passing interest to the com manders unless 1t portended depar- ture from German engagements under the treaty of Versailles and professions of the former democratic government to the allies.

 CENTER OF HUN PLOTS
 During the late war Mexico was the center for all German plots against the United States. Under President Will sons very eyes 100 Germans were training Mexican troops for assault on our border.
 Our representatives down there have been hissed in the Mexican Congress. The latest instance of this is Amba ssa- dor Fletcher's resignation, saying that it was impossible to live down there and that the United States had no definite policies to be carried out"
 Secretary Lansing tried repeatedly to change the Presidents policy. MT. Will son added, but failed.
 "A short while ago, while MT Fletcher was still ambassador to Mex leo, there was a conference between Mir Lansing and Mir. Fletcher" he said They introduced. as a result of this conference, a motion in the. Senate tc break off relations with Mexico. The attempt failed by reason of interfer ence from President Wilson. Lansing's resignation was one of despair at try ing to follow a consistent policy il Mexico."
