deadly weapons, yet robbers who
plundered two hardware stores in

ton to a brace of small revolvers,
35 to 40 watches. mostly Ingersols,

and similar implements.
Another set of bandits worked fur

guns, cutlery, watches and silver

$1,000. Entrance was gained by
breaking into the rear part OF the

REGULAR II DIVISIONS, But
WILL FOLLOW LEAD OF
OTHER POWERS.

Toxic, Aug. 22.-Representatives
of the foreign, war and navy depart
ments conferred for long time yes
terday regarding the program of the
conference and touched upon the
personnel.
The newspapers declare that the
general staff is likely to insist that
81 divisions be maintained in the
Japanese army, but that If the pow
ers favor a positive cultailment OF
land forces, Japan will follow. On
far eastern questions, the staff's at
titude is described as supporting
China in cooperation with Great
Britain with the idea of advancing
relations between China and Japan.
Japan's formal answer TO the
American invitation TO participate in
the conference on disarmament and
far eastern questions was dicussed by
the cabinet, but ii is probable its
dispatch TO Washington will be de-
layed a few days. AT present it is
forecast that the reply will be in the
nature of a reiteration of the posi-
ton of Japan, which has been voiced
in informal notes sent TO Washing
ton.
Some newspapers profess TO be dis
turbed over the expression in the

Many South Dakota farms viii go
back into grazing lands unless con-
ditions are improved, he said.
Bankers, he added, are much con-
cerned and merchants hold little
hope that farmers will be able to
pay their bills from present crops,
even if prices improve.
Mr.. Benedict said taxes on wheat
in South Dakota averaged $3.50 an
acre and freight rates on an average
acre yield were S1.44. Oats costing
the farmer S6.94 an acre TO produce
