Over eight hundred men answer
ed the call to arms in this county

URGES FARMER To
CONTROL PRODUCTS
BARUCH DECLARES SOIL TIIIER
SHOULD JOIN HANDS WITH
THE BUSINESS MEN.

New York, June 17.-American
farmers and business men should or
ganiZe at once, under the Webb-Ken-
yon act to control exports of their
commodities, Bernard M. Baruch de-
clared in an exclusive interview Tues
day just before sailing for Europe.
Baruch said that this was the only
means by which they could insure a
fair price return on their investment
and labor.
"The price of grain and cotton is
now made in Liverpool, not America"
he said
The financier explained that prices
on these commodities are determined
by the levels for American surplus,
which is sold largely through the
Liverpool market. This condition is
reflected in some degree in other ex-
ports, he said.
This situation is no discredit to
the British" he said.
Under present sconditions it is per
fectly natural and legitimate. And
too, the British have always been
good merchants"
Baruch insisted that his trip to
Europe is intended solely to renew
friendships with foreign officials
which grew out of his craftsmanship
of the war industry board.

High Heels and Short
Skirts Condemned

Salt Lake City, Utah, June IL
High heels and short dresses were
condemned by Mrs. Burton Morse, of
Twin Falls, Idaho, in a speech she
delivered beofre the convention of
the Intermountain and Pacific Coast
States Confederation of Women's
Clubs here.
Il want our young women to be
taught that they are not mems play
things, but their companions" she
said. II want girls to be taught to
appeal to mans intellect, and to ac-
complish this we must change our
mode of dress, and when we see
something wobbling along the streets
in tight skirts and high heels, its
head gaudy with henna, or some
other dyestuff, all fuzzed over her
ears, we will instantly recognize a
female and not a woman, for a wo-
man is Gods production, and this
described something is the result of
mans handiwork. Mothers who per-
NIT their daughters to be so dressed
are preparing them for the preface of
marriage and not for marriage il
self"

GILBERT TELLS
Of WHEAT RUST
DESCRIBES DEVELOPMENT OF
DREADED WHEAT PLAGUE
WHEN FIRST NOTICED

Brookings, June 17.-"The spring
stage of the black stem rust which
is found on the common barberry
has already started to develop" says
II. C. Gilbert, barberry expert at the
State college. Mature rust spots
from which spores were blowing TO
the young grains and grasses we're
found on barberries south of Hum
boldt on May 13. This means that
the grain fields are even now in
danger of infection from this dread
disease.
"The red spots of the black stem
rust on the stems of the grain may
not be abundant enough to be MOTTO
ed until late in June but they are
developing now. If the weather is
favorable South Dakota will prob
ably have considerable black stem
rust. On the other hand it is pos
sible that there will be dry unfav-
orable season for the rust this year,
and that no serious epidemic will de-
velop from the rust which was get
'ih5 DuCli NdIiy Stdll III EDOulI la
lsota during May.
1.-The work of barberry eradication
is progressing and large number of
balberries have been destroyed. The
plan is to survey eight to ten coun-
ties in this work this summer. There
are not sufficient funds available to
do more than this. 1t will, therefore
take several years more to survey the
whole state, and it cannot be ex-
pected that the $1,50O,000 annual
los in this state will be materially
decreased until the work is more
nearly completed.
The important thing now is to de-
stroy promptly all barberry bushes
or sprouts which may appear where
old barberries were dug. The rust
has aleady started to develop. De
lay in destroying hte common bar
berries allows the rust to mature and
spread. Write to State college, at
Brookings, for bulletins or informa-
tion on this subject"

STATE BAKERSTO
OBEY NEW LAW
REQUIRES STANDARD WEIGHT
LOAF, WRAPPED IN SANITARY
CONTAINERS.

Pierre, June 17.-Bakers through
out the state are making arrange
ments to comply with the new bread
law, enacted by the last legislature,
which establishes a standard loaf
weight, and requires all loaves, sold
at wholesale for resale or directly to
the retail trade, to be wrapped in
sanitary wrappers, approved by the
state food and drug commissioner,
who is entrusted with the enforce
ment of the law.
The new enactment requires every
firm or corporation within the state,
manufacturing bread for either whole
sale or retail trade, to base their
loaves upon the following standard
weight: loaf weighing one pound,
a loaf weighing one pound eight
ounces, and loaves weighing any
multiple of an eight ounce unit. Pro-
vision is made that loaves weighing
20 ounces may be sold if they are
conspicuously labeled on the wrap
per in type not smaller than "a point
gothic with the following words:
mot standard weight loaf, twenty
ounces net"
For the purpose of determining
whether bread is being made in con-
formity with this act, the food and
drug commissioner is required to
make test weights, not less than six
hours or more than 36 hours after
baking. The commissioner is auth
orized to establish reasonable toler-
ances for variations, within which the
weights must be kept providing these
variations shall not exceed two
ounces per pound under on any loaf,
or one ounce per pound over any
on under on the average weight per

its mandate functions until the re-
quest is met, Decuyna declared.

Providence, r. T., June 17.-Secre-

a gathering of fellow alumni of the
Brown university today that it was
not desirable that Americas helpful
influence should be frittered away
by relating ourselves unnecessarily
to political questions which involve
rivalries of interest abroad with
which we have no concern"
at is equally true" he continued,
that we cannot escape our relation
to the economic problems of the
world" He said the prosperity of
this country largely depended upon
the economic settlements which
might be made in Europe and that
the key to the future was with those
who make and control these settle
ments.

stitutions, aiding humanity" he said

have no questions which mutual good

not solve. We have no subtleties, no
duplicity of meaning, no soft words
to conceal purpose of self aggrand-

that of candid discussion of the mer-
