STATE NEWS

Claims that South Dakota is indus
trially far better off than many other
states are substantiated by the last
issue Of the statistical abstract of the
United States distributed by the
United States chamber of commerce
on the subject of failure Of business
institutions. Comparison with the per
centage of other states shows that
South Dakota has the lowest percent
9 of failures of any state in the
country.
The loss from a fire which swept
part Of the business district OF Irene
is estimated at $4,000. Three build
ings, containing clothing, grocery and
confectionery stores and a restaurant,
were consumed. All the men in town
fought the fire three hours before it
was extinguished. The origin is a
mystery. This was the second bad
fire at Irene within three weeks.
Sheldon Reese sustained injuries at
the Davis elevator at Huron, while
working in a room piled high with
sacks of -four. The sacks were from
rs t O 100 pounds in weight and in
some unknown way were dislodged
and Reese was engulfed in a virtual
avalanche of -four. He was under
the -four for several minutes before
he could be rescued and physicians
declare only the quick work OF his
companions saved his life.
Guy Osbon, former register of deeds
of Hamlin county, who disappeared
last November leaving an alleged
shortage of about $4,000, has returned
Unexpectedly to the state and sur
rendered himself to the Hamlin coun-
ty authorities. In default OF bonds
of $4,000 he was lodged in the county
Jail pending his trial at the fall term
of circuit court. On several occasions
Osbon, while a fugitive, sem word in
a roundabout way to the county au-
thorities that he would return If they
would cease their efforts to capture
him and would give him an oppor'
tunity to make good the amount OF
the shortage. He was cleverly dis
guised during the time he was a fugi
tive and since s~urrendering has stated
that he could have eluded the officers
indefinitely.

ley are disappointing, especially in the
southern territory. The yields range
from Is to rs bushels per acre, and of
poor quality and weight. In eastern
North Dakota and northern Minneso-
ia, these crops are better, both in
yield and quality. In southern Mime
sofa and South Dakota, there is quite
a large carry over of oats from last
year. Should these be marketed, it
will raise the volume of grain handled
in that territory.
The corn crop is maintaining It's

indicating some damage from heat,

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

The harvesting of small grain is
almost completed in South Dakota
and the southern half Of Minnesota.
In the northern half Of the territory,
considerable wheat and most of the
coarse grain has been cut. Some late
wheat, however, will not be ready for
harvest for possibly ten days. The
damage to all crops because of the
terrific heat has been very severe.
Many districts had fine prospects three
weeks ago, but have lost at least so
per cen Of their crop. AS previously
reported, most of the damage was due
to heat. The black rust has not af-
fected the crops seriously. Durum is
much better than spring wheat. In
North Dakota, the durum acreage is
probably greater than previously esti.
mated. This has been at the expense
of spring wheat.
Some districts in western and north
ern North Dakota will have a wheat
yield as high as Is to Is bushels per
acre. and of good quality. There are
very good spots also in Montana
where 80 TO 35 bushels per acre is
indicated at present. The eastern
quarter of North Dakota will probably
average from IL to IA bushels per
acre of wheat, but in the central part
OF the state. the yield will be much
less. The hail and wind storms at
various points have been very destruc.
tive. The worst places are in western
North Dakota and eastern Montana.

Chattanooga Fair

In an effort to keep the annual
event from being the same "old
thing" each year the Chatta-
nooga Interstate Fair has this
year planned a number Of new
features and novelties which are
sure to be of great interest to the
people of this territory.
One of the most interesting of
these new features is butter
statuary which will be shown in
the South for the first time this
year. j. e. Wallace, the fam
Gus butter sculptor of Lincoln,
Neb., will make life size boys
and girls and animals in an
especially constructed glass re-
frigerator in one of the main
buildings on the fair grounds.
Another new feature this year
will be the model farm yard
which Will have from 500 to 1000
pullets, showing everything
there is to know about modern
appliances for poultry raising
This is all in addition to the
poultry show.
The amusement program out
lined for the Fair this year is
the largest and most .portentious
ever gotten. together for the
Tenn. Fail. There will will be
four days of horse racing, two
days auto racing, some wonder
full circus and vaudeville acts and
big fire works show every night
as we'll as twelve concerts by one
of the biggest bands in America.
An excellent company has been
secured to furnish side shows,
and other new novelty and at
fractions are being added almost
daily.
Perhaps one Of the most popu-.
lar new features announced for
the fair this year will be two,
one and one-hand mile foot races
to be held for boys on Saturday
afternoon October LIST, and for
which more than 100000 worth
of merchandise of premiums
have been hung up. These
