JOHN MITCHELL, GOVERNMENT
AGENT, ESTABLISHES OFF,
CES IN COURT HOUSE FOR
DISTRIBUTION.

Sioux Falls, July 15.-"Men need
ed here in this vicinity are being
supplied, and those not needed are
kept away from the places where
they are not needed" declared John
Mitchell, zone clearance officer rep
resenting the United States employ
ment service from Kansas City. He
made the statement when speaking
of the men that are sent to Sioux
Falls from Sioux City and other
points to obtain work in the harvest
fields at this time. According to
Mr.. Mitchell, who will be in the city
about two weeks, working in coop
GRAFTON with the Minnehaha county

A large number 70 men are expect
ed to come through Sioux Falls from
the Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa har-
vesting points to the heavy wheat
belt of this state, around Redfield
and near Aberdeen. Men now in
Sioux Falls seeking work should
communicate with Mr.. Mitchell at

formation as obtainable.
Numerous farmers have come to

TAKES ON LA0D
OF PIERRE WHISKY
DAZED WITH BOOZE CONTRAC.
TOR NEARLY LOSES LARGE
SUM.

Pierre, July 15.-Certain state Of
ficials are still enjoying the predic-
ament, In which a certain road con-
tractor found himself while visiting
Pierre a short time ago attending
the opening of bids of several pieces
of road construction.
According to the story being told,
this contractor, who has done much
work for the state and who is consid-
cred one of the best of his line in
the northwest, has a liking for that
brand of white mule" found in CEN
trail South Dakota. On this occa-
sion, while waiting for the bids to
be opened, he called at the auditors
office and was given two state war
rants calling for $4,000 each. Be-
side these he carried in his pocket a
certified check for $4,000 to be u.s.
ed as his bond in the event that he
should be awarded a contract.
The night following the opening
of the bids. the story goes, this con-
tractor decided to crafty his likings.
After reaching the joyful state he de-
cided to take the ferry boat for FIT
Pierre. Search as he would he was
unable to find the necessary quarter
in his pockets to pay the ferry toll
and finally offered his two warrants
and the certified check to the boat
man as fair exchange for passage
across the Big Muddy. Failing to
satisfy the exacting skipper he wan
dered back uptown and attempted at
several places to borrow a few dol
lars with the $4,000 worth of paper
as security. Promptly someone be-
came suspicious.
Early next morning one of the men
who had been approached the night
before for loan told the story to
the state sheriff. He in turn ques-
toned the state treasurer as to
whether there were reports of stolen
staet warrants. When informed that
several had recently either been lost
or stolen excitement began to run
high.
At last the contractor was appre-
hended, but being In a more stable
state of mind was able to satisfy his
captors that he had rightfully OBJ
tanned possession of what he had
been so carelessly exhibiting. He left
the city promising to stay on the
straight and narrow when again In

DIFFICULT TO.F|ND
YANKEE DEAD
WORK OF EXHUMING THE BOD

PROCEEDS SLOWLY.

Berlin, July 15-The work of ex-
huming the bodies of the American
soldiers who died as prisoners of wal
| in Germany has developed such diff
ficulties that some uncertainty at
taches to the identity of the few
which have been unearthed from
among the unarmed German and
other dead in the cemeteries near the
old prison camps.
Many of the graves were unmark-
ed and the names of the men buried
in some places were unknown, SO
that much work entered into the task
| of the American registration service,
in charge of two American army of
ficers, which has superntended the
operations.

To exhume and remove the single

obtain permission from the interal-

Polish representative there, the head
of German self defense organizations,
and the leader of Polish insurgents,
for the grave was in territory held
by Polish insurgents and the trucks
of the Americans had to pass be-

Poles. A member of the American
military mission in Berlin negotiated
and obtained assurances that the
American party would not be molest-
ed.
Two bodies were exhumed near
Berlin, one at Tuchel, Poland and
another near Dresden. The work Of

HOUSE BATTLES
ON TARIFF BILL
DEFENSE BY REP. GREEN OF
IOWA, AND CRITICISM BY
CAREW OF N. ", OUT
STANDING FEATURE.

Washington, July 15.-The house
ran under high pressure yesterday
and last night in its consideration of
the Fordney tariff bill, in anticipa-
tion of concluding the general debate
today.
Outstanding in the discussion was
a defense of the bill by Representa-
tive Green of Iowa, ranking republi-
can on the ways and means commit
tee, who contended that it would not
result in a reduction of American
trade, and a criticism of several of
its provisions by Representative Car
ew of New York, democratic men,
ber of the committee.
Mr.. Carew attacked the American
valuation policy embodied in the bill
and incidentally he declared that the
country's interest in the tariff was
tagging to the point where it no
longer regarded congressional action
on the measure in serious matter.
Representative Rawley of Oregon,
another republican of the commit
tee, read statistics to show that
eighty thousand farmers had left
their land in the last decade and in
quired whether it was not time to
let them know that the governmen
was interested in their problems. He
cited the agricultural schedule as an
example of practical aid.
The possible effect the rates would
have on the war-built merchant ma
rine was touched on. Representative
Kinchelo. democrat. Kentucky, in
quired whether the republican party
was going "to kill the fleet again"
No ships could continue in operation
If they were able to handle cargoes
only outbound, he contended, ex-
planning that the "prohibitive rates"
drawn by the republicans would have
that result.
The republicans were also taken
to task by Representative Huddle-
ston, of Alabama, for what he de-
scribed as willingness on their part
to "open the treasury to the rail
roads again." The party leaders, he
declared, appeared not to be content
with "the rates allowed by the trans
portation act," and would not refuse
the unlimited demands which the
railroads now are making"

tinued, "of the president practically

PINK Affects Horse
Trade Transactions

Yankton, July 15.-Horse deals
by Michael Lucid and Leo Sadler
Yankton county farmers, are believ-
ed to be affected by a real jinx.
Some months ago these two men
traded colts. Shortly afterward both
animals died. Recently they traded
horses and few days after the
transaction Sadler reported that the
horse he had received in the trade
had died. Things were speedily ev-
ened up, for now Lucid has reported
that the horse he received from Sad
Ter in the trade also has gone to
horse heaven.
The two men are willing to con-
cere that the jinx has had its way,
and accordingly they will make no
more trades Of horses or colts.
