on of the mountain lands with conse-
quent destruction of the farming areas.
The forests regulate the streamflow by
retarding the run.of Of rain and delay
| ing the melting of SHOWS. They add
materially to the landscape, shelter our
wild life and furnish an inspiration to
all mankind. The protection of them is
responsibility of all the people. In
view of this fact, President Harding and
the Governors of the different states
have set aside the week Of May 22 to 28
as Forest Protection Week
Here are few facts about our forest
ed regions:
Fores; fires destroy the beauty of the
landscape and allow the soil to wash
away.
81 per cent of the forest fires are pre-
ventable because they are due to ignor-
ance and carelessness of human beings.
80 per cent of the gross receipts from
the National Forests is returned to the
several states for schools and roads
Fires destroy timber and forage and les
sen the income.
Millions of cattle, horses and sheep
are grazed in the forests; fires seriously
iniure this industry.
Forests are the refuge of game ami
mails; destroy them and the wild life
disappears.
Every man, woman or child should be
as careful with fires in the forests as at
home. That means building fires near
good water supply; in location shell
tered from strong wind; away from
trees, living or dead, standing or fallen,
and from underbrush; on ground that
has been cleared OF all moss, rotten
wood and leaf mould. 1t means build
ing only as big fire as is needed; it
means building none but absolute nee
essary fires in hot, dry weather. it
means being absolutely sure that ire
is out before leaving il. 1t means care
with matches, cigars and cigarettes, not
only while camping, but while riding by
automobile, or railway train. Ii means
making every effort TO put out small
fire, if one is discovered, it means re-
porting larger fires Immediately to the
nearest ranger.
Those who recognize their response
bility toward the forest and know how
to behave in it are welcome. They will
find rest, recreation, inspiration and the
most wholesome sort OF pleasure.

FOREST PROTECTION WEEK.

We have read with increasing horror
of the tragedy in China which cost liter
ally millions of human lives during the
past six months, but all will rejoice to
learn that through the generous re-
sponse in food, money and management,
the situation as far as is at present pos
sible is relieved and not much greater
toll of human life is to be taken by this
famine.
A matter which is not definitely
known and understood, however is, that
large part of China's disasters as far as
floods and famine are concerned is
directly due to the ignorant destruction
of forests in the past by fire and careless
cutting for fire wood and lumber. This
has gone on until China is a naked,
stripped country and the result is the
soil has filled the rivers and brought
floods and the very climate itself is
changing, and famine and floods are a
program which are ever before Chinese
people.
They are just waking to the result of
their tragic condition and part of the
service civilized nations are giving to
day consists in the slow process of re
foresting China. None in the present
generation will see the forests replaced
as they were few years ago but within
a few years at great expense the hills
may be again covered with a growth,
but it will take many year to re-estab.
lish the rich soil, washed down into the
rivers, and very many years before
China will regain the rich inheritance
thrown away. China's history is a
striking commendatory on the article
which follows on Forest protection aud
fire prevention.
The Black Hills of South Dakota rep.
resent millions of dollars in wealth of
timber. When manufactured into lunl :

S. D. GROWTH
An Interesting Record of Comparisons
and Figures as to the Progress
of the State.

Many interesting facts concerning
South Dakota are set forth in bulletin
of the census bureau at Washington,
which contains a complete compilation
Of the states census records taken in
1920. The population of the state is
given at 6S6, ,547 which represents an in
crease of 80 2,659, or per cent, since 1910.
During the same period the population
OF the United States increased by 1919
per cent.
The population of that part of old Da-
kota Territory which now constitutes
the state of South Dakota was 80 ,266 in
1880, and II, ,776 iu 1870 Dakota Terri
tory was organized in 1861, and at that
time included the region now constitut-
ing the greater part of Montana and
nearly half Of Wyoming; but the organ
ization of Idaho Territory in 1868 and
Wyoming Territory in 1865 reduced the
area Of Dakota Territory to substantially
| that of the present states of North and
South Dakota.
South Dakota has GS counties, four of
which are unorganized. Four new
counties have been organized from three
unorganized counties and parts of two
organized counties since 1910. OF the
62 counties whose boundaries have re.
NAMED unchanged, ~ show decreases
in population since 1910.
The total land area of South Dakota is
1858 square miles. The average NAM
Der of inhabitants to the square mile in
1920 was S3, as against Z g in 1910 and
5 in 1900 The counties of South Da.
kota are made up of . 2,l30 primary divi-
sions comprising / ,093 organized town.

Falls, with population Of 25, ,2O2, is the
largest; Aberdeen with l4,537, is the
only other city in the state having a |
population of more than 10000 inhabi- |

state are: WATERFOWL, 9,400 Mitchell, |

BLUE LAW CASE
Supreme Court Says no Sunday Base Ball
if Admission is Charged Movie
Allowed on Sunday.

Pierre, S. d., May l6:-Attorney Gen
eral Byron S. Payne lost his much talk
ed about test case today when the
supreme court affirmed the Beade coun-
ty court in the demurrer entered by
Allen Goethal, Huron moving picture
theatre proprietor, to the complaint pre-.
ferred against him several weeks ago,
charging him with operating his theatre
on Sunday.
The complaint on which Goethal was
arrested was sworn to by Charles p.
Warren, states attorney for Beade coun-
ty, at the instigation OF the Attorney
General throsgh Assistant Attorney
General L. Il Winans, who went TO
Huron to assist with the prosecution.
1t charged the defendant with theeexhi-
bition of a dramatic performance, on
sunday, April ?.
The defendant in his demurrer, which
was sustained, contended that there is
no prohibition against a moving picture
show on Sunday unless it presents per
formance of a tragedy, comedy, opera,
farce, negro minstrely, sparring contest
or trial of strength, as enumerated in
the law.
1t was contended by the Attorney
General that the law should not be given
50 limited an Interpretation, that moy-
ing picture is the only way of presenting
dramatic performance or exercise"
as the same is used in the law, and that
the entire clause "any moving picture
show of the same could be eliminated
without changing the law.
The court ruled that to eliminate one
part of the law and consider the re.
naming part was beyond its powers
70 do so, the court continued, would be
to make practically a new law and one
which would be materially different
from the one actually enacted by the
legislature.
1T is plain the legislature intended
to prohibit only moving pictures of the
enumerated acts" the decisions ready,
aud by specifying and enuneratiug the
acts intended to be prohibited, it neces-
srily excluded all others. Moving pic
tures of dramatic performances" not
being included with the prohibited acts
it is not within the prohibition of the
law and therefore the con- laint does
not describe public oflense.
To that portion ofthe complaint which
charges that an Admission fee was
charged for witnessing the same the
court held that the admission fee phase
of the law applied only to base ball
games and not on the present case. This
brief observation of the court, however,
clears up definitely one point which has
been a subject of dispute namely, that
Sunday base ball cannot be played law
fully where fee is charged to witness
the game.
Attorney General Payne early this
afternoon said be was not prepared to
issue statement regarding the decision
However, it is thought the ruling of the
court will sound the death knell to at
least part of his heralded Claw en-
forcement" campaign because it will be
difficult to secure jury capable of diff
Terminating between dramatic perfor
nance and those specifically prohibited
by the law. The case was acknowledged
to be the promised test action to ascer
tain just how far the law against Sunday
movies as it stands, could be enforced
