GREAT SPEAKERS COMING
The Lectures in Chautauqua August
1878, Come with Vital Messages.

In looking over the program of the
coming Community Chautauqua in
Orleans August 1918, one is i'm
pressed and pleased to note the alb
sence OF those so-called dull speak,
ers." The uninteresting, dry lecture
IS now thing of the past. Unless
man has a vital, worthwhile mes
sage-unless he is a sincere, convinc-
ing speaker, able to please and enter
tain as well as furnish inspiration.
ne finds no place on the platform of
the Community Chautauquas. And so
every lecturer who appears here will
have something of interest to talk
| about, and will tell it in a manner
| that impresses and pleases his audi
ence. The program De Luxe offers
five lectures, widely different in char
acter, but alike in one respect, name
~, that each lecturer is foremost in
his own field. The program opens
with the unique offering of Alexander
Cairns, noted publicist and thinker
Mr.. Cairns will give his live, up-to-
the-minute discourse, "The Goose
that Lays the Golden Eggs" a lee
ture which is full of vigor and life,
and brilliant with humor and thought.
after hearing DR.. Cairns is that they
have met a worthy man and heard
worthy lecture on a subject of great
value.
In direct contrast is the great illus
trated lecture by Percy Allen of
I England, on ''The Future of Devas-
tated France" Perhaps no one is
more qualified to speak on this sub
ject than Mr.. Allen. Although an
! Enghshman, he Is familiar with the
life and activities of the French peo-
pie. His keen insight of the prob
lens which confront our ally, is sec
ond to none. In view of the intense
| interest which now centers upon
France, this lecture is indeed most
interesting and timely.
For many years, DR.. E. E. Violette
has been one of the outstanding fig-
ures of the American platform. This
convincing speaker appears on the
third day with his friendly human
message tinged with eloquence and
inspiration DR.. Violette is also an
able writer and student of people
pflces and things. His new mes
sage is an adaptation from his ia
nous story, "The Sunset Trail"
Then there is John Tobin, another
man from the British lsles-a mar
who holds unique place among the
lecturers of the continent. Mr.
Tobin delivers a musical lecture
story told with piano illustrations
There are many surprises in store II
this Britisher's lecture and you vii
have to come and hear it to be salts

T|NKER|NC WITH
THE PRIMARY LAW
SOME OF THE IDEAS BILLED IN
THE SPECIAL SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE.

Pierre, July IA less complicat-
ed substitute for the Richards pri-
mary law, known as the Amsden pri-
mary law, was among the measures
of the last day Of the special session
of the state legislature, which closed
here early Tuesday morning. The
bill will be presented to the voters
at the November election.
The new bill provides in brief for
primaries in all counties of the state
cts and delegates to state conven-
tions at which state, judicial, sena-
torial and congressional candidates
are to be selected The law contains
a number of the features of the pres
ent primary, but cuts out others,
Among the provisions of the new law
are two, which seek TO prevent what
is known as log rolling" in politics.
One of these is that 80 days prior 10
a primary election it is the duty OF
the county central committee TO meet
at the county seat and select list OF
double the number of names to
which the county is entitled to be
represented by in the state cOnyen-
ton. These names are to be ap-
portioned among the different COM
missioner districts of the county, and
any member of the county committee
is barred from being upon the list.
This list is submitted to the voters al
the primary and one-half of those
getting the highest number of votes
are the Representatives Of the county
in the state convention.
The other provision is that when
a man desires to become a candidate
for state office he must at least 80
days prior TO the state convention
file this declaration with the secre-
tary of state and with it sign pledge
that he is a candidate for only the
place which he seeks, and that he will
not be a candidate for any other
place at the convention, nor at the
polls at the general election. The
convention is prohibited from votina
for any such candidate for any Other
position than that for which he has
filed his application. These two pro
visions are intended to cover and pre-
vent trading and dickering in the con
vention and any man pushing hi
candidacy for one place to get ;
trade" for something else will b.
put out of the way

Spanish War
Veterans Organize

Mitchell, July AT a meeting at
Mitchell of Spanish War Veterans
from Sioux Falls, Plankinton, Athol
and points in the Black Hills formal
ly organized the department of South
Dakota.
The first department commander
chosen was Ernest Madden of Can
ton, county clerk of Lincoln county
and member of Jonas Lien camp of
Sioux Falls. He was unanimously
elected. Carl F. Tank, of Canton,
was appointed quartermaster arju-
tant and z. A. Hazard, of Sioux Falls,
department quartermaster, by Com
mander Madden.
The purpose of organizing the new
department, it was announced, was
to more closely consolidate the mem
bership, increase then umber OF
camps in South Dakota and promote
visits among the camps. Lead OF
Hot Springs will probably be the
scene of the 1921 department camp
Prior to the installation of the
newly elected officers, Jay Smith
camp, of Mitchell, entertained thu
delegates at banquet at the Elks
hall there.

RAINFALL CAN
NOT Be COAxED
OF THE SEMI-ARID
REGIONS FAR TO WEST AND
NORTHWEST DOESN'T HELP.

Sioux City, July 7.-Cultivation of
the soil in the semi-arid lands far to
the west and northwest of SiuoX City
does not increase the rainfall in those
regions that have hitherto been in
hospitable to man.
This conclusion has been reached
by the weather bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture, which assigned
it's specialists to investigate this ques-
ton. Results of the investigation are
embodied in a bulletin.
In so years there has been a great
increase in the area cultivated. If
cultivated fields produce precipita-
tion there should have been a steady
rise in the annual rainfall during half
a century, say the departments sci
entists. On the contrary there have
been well defined but comparatively
short periods of increasing and de-
creasing precipitation.
On the greet western plans for 25
years, from 1857 to 1892 inclusive,
there was an average rainfall of 49,
inches, and from 1898 to 1917, 1874
inches. The average over the south
orn great plains during the first 25
year period was 1913 inches, and dur
ing the second period 17S inches.
On the central great plans during
the two periods the average rainfall
was 1874 inches, and 1877 inches.
over the northern great plans the
averages were 1916 and 19.4 inches.
DRY years occasionally occur in a
wet period and wet years in dry pc
riod," says the bulletin. "The be-
lief in two or three wet and dry
years in groups is not substantiated
by the records. The total fall for a
given year cannot be predicted A
wet year may follow another wet or
dry one or vice versa.
Years of well distributed and
abundant fall encourages extension
Of the western cultivated area, and
with a number of favoring years
farming may be pushed so far in the
semi-arid region that in ordinary
years the fall is insufficient and
brings disastrous results. The idea
originates in the favorable years oi
increase in rain"

YET CONSIDERS
SESSION BILLS
GOV. NORBECk HAS NOT SIGNED
ALL ACTS - SEEKS IMPROVE
MENT IN WORKING HOURS.

Pierre, July 7.-Governor Nor
beck, in speaking of the matter of
signing the bills of the special ses-
sion, making them laws, says that he
has not yet signed the general ap-
preparation bill carrying salaries,
which is among those yet open for
consideration: further, that he has
been in conference with the heads of
the different state departments in re-
gard to hours of work, and that he
holds that a 44-hour week should
prevail in state work, and that sew.
eral of the state departments are fa-
vorable to this idea, as they already
put in that amount of time.
In relation to the matter of en-
ployment, Governor Norbeck says:
II am making progress and feel
confident that the situation will
work out all right and bring about
a better condition. l appreciate the
cooperation of many loyal people in
the state house and especially
the outspoken and fearless support
given me by some of the state Off
GERS, especially Auditor Reeves, Rail-
way Commissioner Murphy and At
torney General Payne, in this move.
There are many more employees
than formerly in the state depart
ments, the rural credits, highway and
bridge departments largely adding to
the list.
abuse of uniform and regular
hours tends to cause dissatisfaction
and break morale. While most of
the employees work faithfully, some
look upon public position as a snap,
and it is against these that we must
guard by regulation"

SOUTH DAKOTA
SURETY REGULATION
LAW MAKES SECURITY DEPOSIT
IN HOME STATE SUFFICIENT
TO TRANSACT BUSINESS.

Pierre, July Among the meas
ures which the recent special session
of the South Dakota legislature took
up were several dealing with insur-
ance.
In this list there were six bills, one
of which authorizes surety companies
to do business in the state, if they
have deposited approved securities
with the proper officer of their home
states. Up to the present, no outside
surety company could legally trans
act business in South Dakota unless
they had deposited securities with
the insurance commissioner of this
state, such certificates deposited in
their home state not giving them anv
privilege in this state.
Another bill makes the industrial
commissioner a concilliator in labor
disputes, his duty being to attempt to
get the disputants into conference,
to discuss the situation and reach an
agreement if possible. Failing in
this, his duty is to investigate the
claims of both sides, and publish
them, to allow the public itself to
judge the merits of the controversy.
A small appropriation to meet
claims of state employees under the
workmen's compensation law was
provided.
The work of the state fire mar
shars department was regulated, and
salaries fixed.
Power to fix rates of premiums
for workmen's compensation, as ht
now fixes those for fire insurance
subject to review of the courts, was
given the state insurance commits
sioner.
The hail insurance department i!
regulated, and salaries of the depu
ties and adjusters in the field ar,
fixed by another new law.

Girl Sent to
Prison for Forgery

Aberdeen, July 6.-Miss Alice
Mitchell, arrested in Sisseton on a
charge of check forgery, was SEN
fenced to six months in Sioux Falls
penitentiary by Judge Frank Ander-
son of the circuit court, after she
had entered plea of guilty. Besides
ton the woman also operated in Or
tonville, Mimi, Graceville and Wa
tertown. In all she secured several
hundred dollars worth of goods and
quite an amount Of cash by cashing
checks which were later found to be
worthless. Much of the merchan-
disc was recovered after the woman
was arrested.

and permanent traffic to the west
river country
Judge Williamson, republican
nominee for congress in the third
district, Congressman Candy, of
Wasta, and other well known men
were present aid offered their testi-
mony as to why the two additional
spans are necessary. The railroad
officials present agreed to put in an
other span without further argument
if this would tie satisfactory but the
South Dakotahs could not see this
and insisted that two more spans only
would make the bridge adequate fo"
the service required. This would
bring it up to the island and insure
something all he year round.
The testimony taken Friday will be
submitted to Major Ward at Kansas
City for his opinion but the final de-
cision will rest with the secretary of
war at Washir gton. Officials of this
state and the Interests requiring the
bridge are coafident that they will
win their contention.

Sioux City, July Farmers who
are wool growers and intend pooling
the 1920 clip, and making the ship
ments themselves to the markets are
in receipt of suggestions from Thorn
as c. Stone, sheep expert in the eX-
lege at Ames, la.
Growers are advised to keep their
fleeces as free of burrs and chaff as
possible, as the foreign matter les
sens the value of the product If
shearing is delayed too long the wool
becomes lifeless. Shearing should not
be done, says the advices. when the
fleece is wet, as it ruins the wool
when stored.
The fleece should be kept together
when cut and tied with the flesh side
out. Common binder twine should
never be used. Soft twine should be
employed. Black and white wool
should not be mixed for the market,
nor rams, ewes, and lambs fleece
in the same package unless they are
separated by laying sheets of paper
between the different kinds of wool
This precaution assists the graders
and aids in getting a better price
Wool should be stored in a clean, dry
place and taken to market on a
bright, dry day." says the extension
adviser. Wet wool sells for less
money and it often fires and a greater
loss is inflicted. Wet wool shrinks
considerably and there is a loss in
price reduction.

Plans to Resume
Wheat Trade

Chicago, July THE committee
of 16 representing the eight leading
grain exchanges of the country met
to finish formulating plans for re-
sumption of wheat trading after
three years suspension. The plans
are to be presented to the general
conference committee representing
all grain interests tomorrow.
The general expectation is that the
wheat future markets in all eight
cities will be opened July s. One of
the questions brought up today was
what will the price be at the reopen
ing of trading in wheat futures and
what is likely to be the course cf
value this season.
