YOUTHFUL BREEDERS
AXE NOT DISCOURAGED

Brookings, S. D.-Boys and girls
Of South Dakota livestock clubs
are not discouraged on account of
the drop in prices of purebred live
stock. Most of the members be-
lieve in taking things as they come
and are willing to take the bad
with the good" says C. H. Val
entine, assistant state club leader
in the State College extension de-
partment. 1T is, indeed, a fine
thing that these junior livestock
breeders should learn that there
are dull days in any business.
Recently the Astoria pig club
had a sale of fine purebred regis
tered hogs and the average for
the sale was less than $50 Prac-
ticaiiy ali members oft he club
are going in again next year, be-
cause they believe that prices will
come back"
Now is a splendid time for any
and all farmers to get into the
purebred livestock game, accord
ing to livestock specialists. The
inflated price bubble has burst
and prices of purebred livestock
are nearer normal than when-they
were so numerically high. The
ordinary farmer could not get into
the game because it took too much
capital. All farmers snould have
a chance to profit by keeping pure
bred animals and now is the OPP
portunity to get into the game if
they will, but seize it.

Police Force In
Lincoln Small
ForPopulation
Chief Claims Record for Pa.
trolling City of $4,000 With
Only Seven Men-Little
Crime There.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. lS.--Lineoln,
with its seasonal population OF ap-
proximately $4,000 souls. maintains
an actual pat-rolling police force OF
but seven men-hve during the night
and two during the day. Nowhere
in the state and probably adjoining
states, does the city with a popula-
ton OF Lincoln administer its law
enforcement with as few men, in
the opinion OF Peter Johnstone,
chief of police.
From the janitor to the police
chief the entire force numbers q,
including the executives of the police
staff, the matrons, jailer, cook and
janitor. Only in times OF dire
emergency, however. do the indoor"
members of the police force aid the
enforcement branch of the depart
ment, Chief tombstone says.
One patrolman to every $3.50
persons in Lincoln is the chiefs de-
duction on a $4,000 population basis.
The unusual and at the same time
efficient phase OF these circum-
stances is the fact that Lincoln en-
joys most ample police protection
despite the comparatively small num-
her of officers with its population.
Varied reasons for this situation are
pointed out by Chief Johnstone,
primarily with the rigid policy OF
the department in its dealing with
undesirables, followed by sugges-
tions that the citizens of Lincoln
are of the highest type.
Lincoln can honestly boast OF
community of neighbors that are
neighborly in the old-time meaning
Of the word" Chief Johnstone says,
who naturally are law-abiding,
peace-loving and consequently need
less OF crime protection. Today, as
unusual as it may seem, the citizens
of Lincoln are as well protected
with seven men as if the force num-
bered 100"
Other members of the force at
tribute much of the police success
to former administrations, and the
policy OF stamping out and ridding
the community of possible law vio-
lators before they have an oppor-
,unitv to entrench themselves. The
environment and atmosphere OF
Lincoln's e educa onal facilities,
through its universities and denom-
national schools. lend their effect to
existing conditions, they said
Chief Johnstone points out, how
ever, that the number OF arrests by
the police force compares favorably
with a city of its size and perhaps
the average the first six months OF
this year is larger than those of the
corresponding year. To combat this
fact, Chief tombstone states that at
no time are there more than three
or four in the city Jail for any ex-
tended period.
As a prccaution for possible win
ter activities of undersibles in the
face of economic conditions Chief
), ,Ichnstone is considering the enlarg-
ing efetife city"poase force but the
number will be small, he says.

Highest Sum in
History Is Paid
Tol92O Workmell
Total of $54O,2l3.O8 Ex.
pended During Year Under
State Provision of In
dustrial Compensation.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 13.-Persons
injured in industrial accidents i'll Ne
braska during the last two years re-
ceived 5,5S9.32 in compensation
allowed under the workmens COM
pensation law, according to a report
made here today by Frank A. Ken
nedy, secretary Of labor and director
of compensation work i'll the state.
This sum was distributed among
1880 workmen, whose cases were
actually completed. A total of 24.949
accidents were reported to the br-
reau during the two years.
Seventy-cight fatal accidents were
reported the last two years, the re-
port shows, as compared with 2o
fatalities in the preceding two years.
Nebraska allows $3.50 to any ind1-
vidual who meets death III actual
performance of his duties.
Industrial cases closed last year
numbered 9,720 cut of total or
1866 reported, according to the re-
port, compared With S,7Fl cases
closed the preceding year out ot
1873 cases reported. Last year,
S54O,213.O8 was paid out in compe,1-
sation to injured persons and $54o,-
47624 the previous year, Medical
expenses the two years amounted 10
$227, sos.
"The sum paid in compensation
last year is the highest in the history
of the state and its compensation
law Mr.. Kennedy said in his re-
pert. "the figure of $540,2l30S paid
last year comparing with $5l, ,l67.S7
il 1915, when the law was adopted
by the state. The total amount for
the last >biennium is $59O,S30 in ex--
cess of what was paid in 1917 and
1918.
"Twenty-four thousand industrial
cases have been handled through
this bureau without a dispute in the
/ last two years, or an average ol
| 1000 a month. Workmen in indus
trial plants of the state are just be,
ginning to ascertain the state has
compensation law and are more
readily taking advantage of its COM
pensation when injured in pursuit o
their duties"
The mo limit" clause of the com
pcnsation law attached to medica
attention in Nebraska is one of foul
states to have adopted this measure
MIR. Kennedy says, and is one o
the most helpful parts of the law il
aiding injured workmen. In all 9th
er instances, it is shown in the re
port, the compensation allowed TO
losses to the body are either large
or on an equal with those of its siste
| states.
