WARNING 7 D
BUSINESSMEN
PERSONS GUILTY OF ILLEGAL
PRACTICES WILL FACE THE
COURTS.

Washington, d. c., April "a
general warning to business that
the department of justice will coun-
tenance no violations of the law was
sounded today by Attorney General
Daugherty.
The country, Mr.. Daugherty said
should take notice of new day and
a new way, and that those who had
been guilty or illegal practices should
not "close their eyes" His statement
he added, was a modest, but empha-
tic warning" to those for whom it
was intended and could be regarded
as an opportunity for any of those
who should mend their ways to do
so.
The attorney general said the de-
partment of justice did not intend to
harass business in any way, but that
it did intend to enforce the law. He
pointed out that while the profiteer-
ing sections of the Lever act had
been declared unconstitutional, the
department still could proceed un-
der the Sherman antitrust law
Investigation OF illegal practices in
the building material trades is TO be
undertaken at once in all parts of the
country, where necessary, Attorney
General Daugherty annouced.
Reports fro msome sections of the
country are that the building ma
terial situation is 'intolerable," Mr..
Daugfrerty said, and the department
of justice desires to contribute in any
fay it can to improving IT,
Mr.. Daugherty was discussing
specially the situation in the build
ing materials industry, which he de-
clared, reports to the department
showed to be "intoleratble. He said
the department of justice would ask
for more aid from the outside than
it had received heretofore and that
lawyers representing firms should re-
gard themselves as agents of the de-
partment of justice in upholding the
law.
The attorney general announced
that it was the purpose of inyestl-
eating conditions in the building ma
terial trades wherever an inquiry
was warranted Indictments already
have been returned in New York and
Chicago, he said, and complaints
have come from Pittsburgh, st. Lou
is, Cleveland and other cities.
Secretary Hoover announced thai
the department of commerce had be-
gun gradual organization of a com
mittee to work out standardiza-
ton of building materials and a uni
fled building code for the entire
country.
Conflicts in the building codes OF
different localities, Mr.. Hoover ex-
planned, cause losses of from 10 to
20 per cent in construction values in
year, which could be avoided by a
single code.
Efforts are being made, he said
to get the fire marshals of cities and
the architects on the one side and
the building trade on the other to
agree upon a single code.

SW|NDLERS ARE
AGAIN ACTION
DAKOTANS ASKED TO WATCH
BAD CHECK ARTISTS.

Sioux Falls, April 9.-Bankers,
merchants and farmers of South Da-
kota are being warned by banking
interests of the operations of smooth
swindlers who are engaged in pass
ing worthless checks and working
other swendling games by which
they thus far have succeeded in vic
timizing numerous persons.
One gang of swindlers is provided
with checks described as follows: On
Des Moines National bank, Des
Moines, Ia. Signed: Territory Ex-
pense and Payroll Only. C. A. Morri-
son, cashier"
This is declared to be one of the
cleverest check forms which bankers
have seen. 1t is on safety paper, has
been prepared with great detail and
skill The word expense" appears
ink. The paper itself is of blue
color. Bankers and merchants are
warned to be on the lookout for
these checks and If a person with
them appears, bankers are requested
to promptly notify the Iowa Bankers
association.
The Minnesota Bankers associa-
ton, through the South Dakota
Bankers association, warns farmers
especially of the operations of agents
who approach farmers with German
sympathies and offer for sale bonds
of the German government. Where
cash it not available. Liberty bonds
are readily taken in payment. A
thriving business seems to have been
developed by these agents, who are
likely to make their appearance In
South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and
other states.
The amount of the bonds is ex-
pressed in marks. These marks are
sold to farmers at about four times
their market value. In no case re
ported, have the bonds been delivered
to the purchasers. For cash or Lib.
erty bonds the farmer takes a re-
ceipt, which states that the described
bonds will be delivered. No time il
fixed for delivery and the holders OF
the receipts naturally are out their
money or Liberty bonds. BY polio
ity the bankers associations hope to
put a stop to the operations of these
agents before they secure additional
victims.

.STUDENTsMAKE
FIELD JOURNEY
CLASSES OF STATE SCHOOL OF
MINES SPEND WEEK IN PRAC-
ICAL NINE AND MILL IN
SPECTION.

Rapid City, April 9-Students of
the state school of mines have re-
sumed classes after a week spent in
field research work and practical
mine and mill inspection trips.
The seniors and juniors in metal
lurgy, under the direction of DR..
Traphagen, head of the department,
put in a profitable week in the
northern Hills. They began by in
specting the shines plant of the
Homestake Mining company at Dead
wood, later visiting the amalgamat-
ing mills, regrind plant sand cyan
ide, foundry and assay office at
Lead They were given the oppor-
tunity To make a careful study OF the
various processes through which
gold passes from the beginning of
cleanup until formed in bricks for
shipment to the mint.
They watched and assisted in the
retorting of amalgam, in the finish
ing of the cupellation of bullion, the
melting down TO retort and cyanide
bullion and the casting of the gold
bars. During the course of the
week they also went through the
mills of the Trojan Mining company,
where each student was required to
make out flow shet of the plant.
Prof. Bochert, head of the depart
ment of mining engineering, took the
seniors and Juniors in mining thru
the underground workings of the
Homestake mine. The younger mem
bers were farmed out to practical
miners, where they were given a
first-hand chance to familiarize them
selves with the problems encounter
ed in drilling, timbering, and other
mine work.
The seniors were taken in turn by
the foremen of both the upper and
lower levels through parts or the
mine, where they could study both
the newer methods without timber
ing and the older with timbers. They
were able to cover a large part OF
the mine in this way and to receive
the benefit or the foremen's exper-
ience and explanations.
The juniors and seniors IN eiec-
trical engineering. accompanied by
Prof. Kammerman, head of the de-
partment, visited the power stations
and the new electric hoist at the Ell
lison shaft of the Homestake mine
They also studied the methods of in
stallation of electric wire and ap-
paratus in underground workings.
The oil and general geology class
es were held up on their proposed
trips on account of storms, so they
will make these tours at a later
date.
The annual field trips being made
thoroughly practical fit in well witt
the various courses in engineering
given at the state school of mines
| and the students find them highly
advantageous in every way.

OPPORTUNE Time
FOR PUREbREDS
DAIRY INSTRUCTOR STATE coll
LEGE SAYS NOW PROPER PER-
IOD TO DISCARD THE
SCRUBS.

Brookings, April 9.-"Perhaps
there has never been such an oppor-
tune time for getting rid of the
scrub sire and getting a purebred
animal of merit in his place as the
present." says Thomas M. Olson, in
structor in dairy husbandry at State
college. Purebred stock. he points,
out is now selling below par.
Sell your scrub sire to the but
cher" Mr.. Olson suggests. He will
make good bologna sausage. Invest
the proceeds in a purebred sire and
boost your livestock out of the class
to which scrubs belong If you
don't know where to get purehred
bulls, We can help you.
Bologna bulls do not belong to
some recently discovered breed, but
have been with us through the ag-
es. They are not only bulls without
a country. but without a breed No
breed will claim them They cannot
be classified because there is no
class TO them. They fill no need and
serve no fruitful purpose
Bologna bulls are counterfeits of
the male sex, kept to breed con-
tempt and dissatisfaction among
prospective stockmen. They are
leches on the livestock industry, pa
rasitic agents of the greatest agricul-
tural industry. provokers of i'll tenn
peraments. disturbers Of peace and
prosperity. wolves in Sleeps cloth
ing.
How many are there in South Da-
kota OF these indefinable imposters
of the livestock industry? Since they
are classed as livestock when the cen
sus taker comes around we have no
way of finding out how many there
are. However, each farmer can put
the test to his own herd sire and
learn whether he comes under this
class. If he does. sell him to the but
cher He will do more good as boz
logna sausage than serving in the
important role of herd sire"
