The increase in eight months has

INTENDED
FOR GERMANY LET
OUT or CORRAL

Trip, S. d., March 26.-AuthOrl-
ties here took extra precautions to-
night to prevent interference with a
shipment of 600 head Of cattle which
have been .corralled here for ship
ment to Germany tomorrow.
The herd was donated by farmers
in the vicinity of Scotland, Bon HON.
county, and was to have been
shipped from that City Wednesday
night. However. the cattle were
mysteriously released from the corral
and it was with difficulty that they
were collected again.
Yesterday they were driven to
kaylor, south of here. and last night
q band of thirty men, evidently op-
posed to the idea of having the ami
mails shipped to Germany, approach;
the corral bent on freeing them
once more, They were met by the
farmers who had donated the herd,
many of whom were armed, accord.
ing to reports.
was sent to. an undertaking estab-.
lishment in Scotland. requesting that
a hearse be sent to Kayldr, and that
there soon would, bel a number Of
dead there" The, ambulance was
dispatched, but both crowds had dis
persed before it arrived.
: The herd was driven to this town
today and plans are to ship them to-
morrow. w.
Feeling Running High.
Scotland, S. D., March 25.-Re-
ports were prevalent here tonight
a determined effort would be
made to prevent the shipment to
Germany of 800 cows, contributed by
residents of Hutchinson and Bon
Homme counties. Though everything
comparatively quiet. feeling was
running high and it is understood
those opposing the shipment are pre-
pairing again to release the COWS from
the yards at Tripp where they were
taken after the threatened riot of
last hight.

the grain had been placed over the

Oats paralleled the action Of other
grains. starting unchanged to Ia ent

then scoring a slight further ad-
vance. .r
Provisions were dun and easier

Later the market weakened be-
cause Of the failure Of outside support

Now Comes the Football Season.

Football is with us again. Spot
ing pages already have carried the
first tentative line-ups, the first
signal practice, even the first minor
injuries from the big varsity camps
Football weather is far in the off
ing, but coaches and captains wise
ly take the earliest possible look at
their new material
At that it's only trifie over two
months to Thanksgiving Day, which
will find all our colleges and schools
resting on gridiron laurels won OF
looking forward to the next fall as
the best way OF forgetting their re-
cent past.
It is now time to deplore the
hazards of this game, to grieye al
its expensiveness, to point rebuking-
ly at its abuses of amateur stand
ards, and otherwise to make ready
TO get out and whoop it up on the
Mdelines or in the stands some clear
crisp Saturday afternoon in thu

YOUR GOOD AND OURS.

AS YOU wander along the highways and the byways OF
this town it is possible that you many things which
you think should not be-
Do YOU ever speak Of these things to people who have
the power Of correction?
Does it occur to you that their absorption in other d
ties may have caused them to overlook OF the things
that are so plain to you?
DO you realize that their brains plus yours
potent than their brains alone?
Every man owes duty to the community that shelters
and sustans him. That duty is to aid in the advance
ment Of the welfare Of the community whole.
Calling attention to undesirable conditions is not neces
sary reflection upon the constituted authorities One
pair Of eyes not everything neither brain
master everything the Lord does not provide any
man with more of either.
It may not be possible for the authorities to make
prompt correction Of conditions you report there
limit to their possibilities. But your report will impress
them upon their minds and in time they may be able to
afford the desired relief.
This community has reached its present state of de-
STABILITY through the efforts of all of people 1t will
become even more desirable as we bend additional efforts
to that end
Speak up and be heard Your critcsmc are of no value
until you make noise
1t is for your good and ours.

The American Falls Dam.

The following statement was is
sued this week by Guy Flenner,
managing director of the Idaho
Reclamation association:
'eThis office has made some in
vestigations as to certain phases of
the American Falls project and de-
sires to lay before that portion of
the public directly interested, some
facts that it has collected.
'FThe American Falls project is
set up, as a matter of financing, on
the basis Of the work being paid for,
for the most part, through the joint
financial assistance of irrigation
companies in the Snake River Val
ley and the Federal Government
through the Reclamation Service.
