aroused the united support of the
agricultural industries.
In the sixty four organized cou-
mites Of South Dakota there are
one hundred and sixty one boys
and girls clubs. One club girl
raised and sold three pigs at an
average of S77i apiece to make
enough money to pay her expen-
ses through college.
IL is the purpose Of the Inter
church World Movement to COM
pile these figures in order that
they may be used as an accurate
working basis for the execution
OF the church program. The sur
yey has been tabulated by c. O.
bemls Of Brookings. Speaking Of
the showing of the survey for
South Dakota, Mr. Bemis said:
These figures showing the pro-
sperlty Of our great state stand
out as a challenge to the whole
people to make our churches as
prosperous and progressive as we
have made our material affairs"

about the ring. Charlie places a
mlSdlrccted punch on the nose of
the referee, and the usual rules
of the ring are reversed as the
two lighters count the referee out.
Chaplin uses the ropes as a means
of rebound and some of his moves
at hls huge opponent. due to these
methods, are to say the least,
startling. In the forty first round
Charlie is on the receiving end of
an avalanche of punches, and the
referee kindly holds him by the
most convenient part of his tights
each time that he is about to slip
to the floor. Each round finds
Charlie getting more groggy, un
tai toward the end his seconds are
able only to get the back of his
head on the chair in his corner
TO revive him, the rest of his
body dangling ludicrously thru
the ropes. The bell rings for the
tifticth round. Chaplin steps to
1ng centre, onlXe to be Knocked
spinning by the heavyweight.
AS his head revolvcs with the
punches, faithful JAM, who has
watched the battle going against
his master, leaps to the ring, sci
zes that part of the heavyweight's
anatomy which first presents its
self and proceeds to hold on for
dear life. Needless to say Charlie
wins. We forgot to mention that
Jazz IS remarkable bulldog,
whose acting will astonish the
patrons of the Scenic theatre.

AUTO TRUCK LINE FROM
CHAMBERLAIN TO MITCHELL.

Chamberlain Democrat: Hugh
Jones of this city established Tue
sday an auto truck line from
Chamberlain to Mitchell, distan
ce Of more than seventy five miles
by road. 1t is probably the long
est truck route that has yet been
established in this state. The
trucks will stop at every town en-
route and business from the start
has been brisk.
Mr.. Jones has four trucks to
startwith. Two Of them were
sent Mitchell Tuesday on the in
itial run, and returned yesterday,
leaving Mitchell in the morning.
The other two trucks left Chamb
erlain yesterday morning. thus es
tablishing the schedule of two
trucks each way daily.
The undertaking is quite a novel
one, and is receiving much public
ity. 1t is said to be the longest
route that has yet been attempted
in this section of the west, or any
where except on paved roads. The
condition of the roads will in
large measure determine the succ
ess or failure of the enterprise.
If the business done by the
trucks on the first trips is any
it is certain that others
will have to be added to take
care of the demand of patrons.
The schedule will be established
after a reasonable try out of the
plan. 1t is possible that the run
is too long to be made in one day,
and that a relay station will have
to be provided between terminals,
Chas.l 5e.lein and Mitchell.

BATTLE
NOW CALLED OFF
Griffs Fail Again to Stage Con-
test With Smoky City
Tribe.
by LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

DETROIT. Mich, June 23.--Pitts-
burg fans are not to see Jim Shaw
battle the Pirates tomorrow. II be-
gins to look as IL the Grins will
never get chance to perform at
Forbes Field At least five games
have been planned for the smoky city
in the last eight years or so and not
one has been played.
Usually rain prevented the games,
but now and then the necessity OF
,lcaning up postponed games in their
own league has caused the Pirates to
,ancel their proposed contest with
the Griffs That Is the case now.
Tomorrow's game has been called off
and so the Griffs will continue right
through to Washington, once they
board their rattler here tonight.
Todays game here ends the first
western tour OF the year for the
GrifYs. Five victories have been
checked for the more or less delapi-
dated outfit out of eleven played.
Rain prevented one game at Chicago
and here and two in Cleveland.
George Mcbride and Sam Rice were
victims of Babe Pinnellrs hidden
BALI trick in the opening game yes
terday. Mcbride was coaching and
should have kept his eye on the ball,
especially since Pinnelli worked this
minor league stunt on Stuffy Mc1nnis,
Of the Red Sox, last Saturday and all
the Grirs enjoyed a laugh reading
about it on their arrival here Sun
day.
Rice got his revenge the next time
up by running and catching Pinnelli.
At the same time no smart player
should ever be caught by the hid
den ball" Also, few smart ones
ever try it in the big leagues. except
Jimmy Austin, who played with
julius Caesar. Pinnelli is now
eligible to Austin's honors.
The Griffs assaulted Dauss benders
right viciously. Almost every putout
was on hard hit ball, Rice and
Charity being retired on line drives
to Bush and Pinnelli.
Jimmy O'Neill was a busy lad In
the field. handling seven chances in
all. His assist on Flagstead in the
sixth. a running, jumping assist with
speedy toss to Judge. was applauded
generously.
Bobby Roth showed a good whip
and an accurate aim when he grab
bed Ainsmiths bounding single over
near center and picked off Pinnelli at
third in the seventh.
Roth's home run off Alten cleared
the score board and would have come
close to landing in the bleachers at
Georgia avenue. the brand new white
ball sailing across Cherry street and
into the home of Harry Tuthill, the
Tigers trainer.

gled to right. Rice walked and
Roths double hit high up on the
scoreboard, failing to go over by
three feet or So.
Judge tailed on Roth's wallop and
Rice reached third. where he

wake up the fans. Charity got
another in the ninth. the ball just
