Selling Apples
At 81 Per Peck

The man went back home and re-
turned here with a load, finding a
ready market for 200 pecks at 81
a peck. Then the farmer became
conscience-stricken and declared
that he could not sell any more
fruit at that price. for he believed
II was robbery.

was doing them a favor he now eX'

Not only does the farmer profit
through not having to sacrifice -
Dor or the use of his horses to get
the milk to the railroad, but in
many cases the loss he formerly
sustained through loss and spoilage
before the milk got to the city
dairy was as much in one month as
his total milk transportation bill
by motor truck IL within the same
period.
The milk truck is q real boon to
the farmer. Coming to his place
every day In the year, 1t affords a
cheap means of transporting any
thing that the farmer may require

milk trucks carry loads of supplies
back with them each day that their
operators are able to compete with
railroad rates.

road he gets his milk hauled for

Sioux Falls, Aug. Prohibitive
railroad passenger rates practically
all over the country, have brought
the ordinary railroad travel almost
to standstill. In the opinion of
railroad experts a material decrease
is most likely to occur in the very
near future and the Interstate Com
merce commission at Washington,
from whom such steps must initiate,
is said to be giving the question SER
ious consideration.
1T is now entirely possible" said
r. D. Springer, commission of the
Sioux Falls Traffic bureau, ''for peo-
pie to travel cheaper by automobile
today than by railroad. / could
name a number of specific incidents
of this and people have found it out
and are acting accordingly. Two or
three men have business trip TO
make, say to Minneapolis. They use
a car jointly and save money where
formerly they would depend on the
trains. But in winter time they can
not be assured of doing this with
the average condition of roads in bad
weather so many just abandon the
trip. This has seriously injured and
handicapped business. The business
men know 1t and the <.ailroads know
it and it seems most likely that some
thing will be done TO bring the rail
road passenger rates soon back to
something like normal"
According to Mr. Springer, the
rare for travel all over the country
now averages about four cents per
mile. This includes the war tax
and surcharge in the Pullmans. The
ordinary rail rate is 3 clio cents per
mile while formerly it was two cents
in many parts of the country. This
has made travel in many instances
prohibitive by rail.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is expected to institute hearings
on the subject and bring about re-
lief of the condition that is affecting
both the railroads and the public.

MINERS ARE IDLE
DUE TO A LACK OF DEMAND BY
Observation-Disclosures SAY
FAMINE Is FACED.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 6.-Unem-
ployment of 10000 coal miners
daily, with many thousand others
idle much of the time, is reported
by officers of the United Mine Work.
ers of America, who assert the idle
ness is due to the lack of a market
for coal. State officials here in touch
with the coal trade, and the coal OPP
perators also maintain there is no
market for coal, adding that fam
inc is threatened unless the house
hold consumers lay in their winter
supply now.
Indiana mines, which produce ap-
proximately 25,0OO,O0O tons annual
ly, are estimated by officials to have
turned out about 100000 tons for
the first half of the year, with the
average monthly production falling
below 100000 tons the last three
months. More than half of the time
lost this year is rated by the opera
tors to have been due to mo mar
ket." For the country as a whole, the
soft coal production is said to be S.
100000 tons behind the average of
the last four years. Hard coal pro-
duction is said to be slightly higher
than in the last several years.
Thousands of miners have not
worked enough to be listed in the
membership of the union, but the
exact number has not been announc-
ed. although in Indiana it is known
that the union loss in membership at
present exceeds $4,000. The present
total membership is between 1900
and $4,000, as compared with more
than $4,000 at the opening of the
year. Union officials say the only
strike or lockout situations are in
Mingo county, w. Va, and the state
of Washington.

young men made audible comments
about her mode of dressing.
She, overhearing the comments.
turned around, and proceeded to
knock one of the youn men down.
The other noticing the plight OF
his companion, made a hasty get
away.

Hogs In State Show
Large Decreas e

Mitchell, Aug. 6.-That South Da-
kota's pig crop this year is only
about so per cent of last years crop
is the statement of A. l.. Haynes,
secretary of the State Duroc-Jersey
association. Statements from Pierre
and others parts of the state dis
agree with Haynes, but he supports
his claim by the following:
Because of the excessive rate
charged on purebred hogs last year,
many farmers held back large num-
ber of their hogs and did not report
them to the assessors. Last year
purebred hogs were assessed at pure
bred values, while this year, as re-
suit of the protestation of breeders
all hogs were valued at current mar
ket prices.
"I have taken a careful census OF
hogs in the state and believe that
the crop this year is only about 90
per cent of what 1t was last year. In
addition to this, from letters receiy-
ed from county agents over the
northwest. I am convinced that the
entire northwest, will show a de
crease of 35 per cent from the 10
wear average. In this state there
are not 10 per cent of the feeder cat
tie we have had on a 10-year aver
age"
