THE HISTORY OF ICE CREAM

On richly carved plates of beaten
gold, Nubian slaves served to the
emperors of accent Rome, their
favorite luxury-snow, brought down
from the mountains in the north of
Italy.
As a final touch of luxury at gOr-
geous banquets, in the imperial box
at the gladiatorial arena, in camp and
field, Roman history declaims snow as
a kings dessert.
Luxury-loving Turks kept stores
of snow in cool stone pits beneath
their homes. This was brought from
afar for feasts and occasions of high
Importance Ballon tells of finding
snow served in Constantinople even
in 1858.
About this same time Villo Frankie,
a Spaniard, discovered that nitre
could be used for freezing of water.
This eliminated the transportation of
snow and a sort of crude sherbet took
its place.

GRAIN GROWERS
TO GET BENEFIT
FIRST LINE OF CREDIT WAR FL
NANCE CORPORATION GOES
TO NORTHWESTERN FARM
ERS.

Huron, Oct 1.-The first line of
credit authorized by the war finance
corporation under its new powers to
assist agriculture, goes to the U. S.
Grain Gorwers, Inc, for cooperating
grain growers in the northwest, ac-
cording to information just received
here by the South Dakota Farm Blu
reau federation.
j. M Anderson, of st. Paul, vice
president and chairman of the sales
committee of the u. S. Grain Grow
ers, Inc, in Washington last week,
obtained favorable action on an ap-
plication for SIS. 100000, the funds
to become available at once. This
will enable the U. S. Grain Growers
sales committee adequately to fin
ance grain marketing for thousands
of members in the northwest who in
sist upon using the. new machinery
without delay.
The grain is being handled thru
the Equity Cooperative Exchange.
st. Paul, under authority of a resolu-
tion passed by the u. S. Grain Grow
ers' executive committee authorizing
Mr.. Anderson to complete arrange
ments for handling the grain of MEM
bers in the northwest.
Mr.. Anderson, W. s. Schilling and
U. L. Burdick, all directors in zone
2, at a recent conference decided to
advance from SIS to rs per cent of
the present market price. This will
enable growers to hold their grain
until the market reflects the true
market value.
Prices have been unduly depressed
by the unprecedented dumping of
grain on all markets this fall. The
determination to withhold northwest
grain from the terminal markets for
the present is in keeping with rec
concentrations made by such students
of the world conditions as Secretary
of Commerce Herbert Hoover.

RUTLAND BANK IS
ROBBED LAST NIGHT
WORK OF CROOKS STOPPED SUD-
DENLY BY AROUSED Poppy
LANCE.

G. F. Graft of Rutland was in Ma
Olson today and reported that rob-
bers gained an entrance into the
Farmers Savings bank of that place
near o'clock this morning. BY way
of the basement the robbers went to
the floor above and removed a sec
ton of the brick wall composing the
outer protection to the safety deposit
vault. They worked with speed and
succeeded in clipping the hinges
from about two-thirds of the safety
deposit boxes. AS yet no figures
have been agiven out as to the sum
obtained.
Charles Mystic, a barber, slept in
room in the building next adjoin-
ing the bank He heard a succession
of dull thuds resembling pounding
and suspected something had gone
wrong. He got up and rushed to the
bankers home notifying him of the
suspicious he held. A shot in the
street aroused a good many citizens
who poured out to scent the trouble.
Evidently, the shot frightened the
bandits. On arriving at the bank it
was found that the robbers had fled.
So far no clue to the indentity Of
the looters has been discovered. At
least they were not seen.
Mr. Carl Norberg is in charge of
the banking institution at Rutland.
1t was rather an inopportune time
TO attempt TO crack a safe because
that evening some Rutland people
held social gathering and were up
and about the streets quite late.
c. E. Olstad president of the First
National bank of this city, today
stated that all the damage done was
within the compartment designed for
filing away papers and documents of
value. The large safe remained un-
touched.

THOUGHT HE WAS
DOUBLE CROSSED
SOUTH DAKOTA MOONSHINER
ALSO PAID FINE FOR CARRY
ING GUN.

Huron, Oct. Phillip Cable, of
Der 10. charged with transporting in
toxicating liquor and carrying con-
cealed weapons. Wednesday he was
brought before Circuit Court Judge
Taylor, of Huron, and paid a fine
of $500 or $100 on each count.
Cable left five gallons of moon
shine at the shop of local merchant
with the intention of marketing it.
An understanding between the mer-
chant and Cable made 1t possible for
each to reap an equal benefit. ii Is
said.
However the sheriff of Beadle
county became suspicious of the mer-
chant and after searching his place
of business, discovered and appro-
priated the liquor. When Cable re-
turned TO the merchant to collect his
share of the spiols, he was told Dy
the saddened merchant that the Ii
quor was no more, it had been taxi
en- by the law, and was even then re-
posing in the ''booze strong box" at
the office of the sheriff.
Cable disbelieved the story told
him by his jobber He demanded his
money and when it was not forth
coming he pulled gun and attempt
ed to punctuate his demands with
pistol shots. 1t was then he was
summarily gathered up, deposited In.
the county jail and the two charges
lodged against him.

FAVOR COMBINING

SOLIDATION INCENTIVE TO U.

Washington, Oct. Added in
centive" for government ownership
of rail lines will be afforded unless
the railroads agree to voluntary con-
solidation into a few main systems,
the Interstate Commerce commission
today warned.
Anticipating opposition from rail-
road heads to it's proposed plan of
combining all the railroads of the
country into 10 competitive systems.
The commission held up the alterna-
tive of government ownership or
consolidation.
THE issue of government owner
ship is constantly pressing itself on
the attention of congress and the
people," the commission said in an
other report on the proposed consoli-
dation
SHOULD the policy of voluntary
consolidation not prevail after due
encouragement by governing author
ity, it seems clear that an added in
centive to government ownership will
be afforded.
The commission then states invol-
untary consolidation is "the way
out"
Emphasizing that the hope of real
reduction in railroad rates lies in
consolidation the commission said:
4sUnless consolidation is put into
effect, a positive bar to the attain
ment of uniform reasonable rates un-
der which all the carriers alike may
thrive, will continue to exist.

Corn Pest Causes
Great Damage

Brookings, Oct. 1.-The ear worm
of corn has been unusually abundant
in South Dakota this season, the re-
suit being that anunusually high per-
centage of damaged corn is coming
into the cribs" stated A. l.. Ford,
extension entomologist at State col
lege.
'It is evident that artificial con-
troll measures are not practical in this
case because of the extensive manner
in which corn is grown in the state.
Cultural methods can be brought in
to play, however, to excellent advan-
tage in dealing with this pest. The
insect passes the winter in the pupal
stage from three to five inches be-
meath the surface of the soil. If in
tested corn fields are plowed in the
fall these pupae will be thrown up
and exposed to the birds and winter
weather. After this treatment but
few of the alternating pupae will
survive the winter.
"Under garden conditions, where it
is desirous to protect small patch
of choice sweet or. seed corn from
this pest, leads arsenate used as a
dust is very effective. Mix powdered
lead arsenate in about six parts of
flour and keep the silks well busted.
AS soon as the silks have turned
down and dried the busting can be
discontinued"

TENANT FARMERS
ARE IN MINORITY
MAJORITY OF SOUTH DAKOTA
FARMS ARE STILL OPERAT-
ED BY OWNERS.

Pierre, Oct. 1.-The statistical re-
port of the state tax commission for
the present year shows that, while
the tenant issue is not as prominent
on the farms of this state as ii ap-
pears TO be in some eastern states,
1t is becoming one of the prominent
factors of country life in some of the
eastern counties of the state. While
the ratio of owner farmers operating
farms in the state is about three to
two tenants, ii is only the big per-
centage of owner farmers in the new
er counties of the state which keeps
the owner ratio at that point. In
practically all the counties of the
eastern part of the state the ratio of
tenants runs high.
strnuhsie nah. gnt NV JIM ia
Out of the ga organized counties
of the state, IA show at larger per-
centage of tenant farmers than of
owner farmers, and SO show the
owner yet in the majority. The
counties which for the present re-
turn show larger percentage of
tenant farmers than owner farmers
operating the farms are Aurora,
Brookings. Clark. Deuel., Hamlin,
Hanson, Kingsbury. Lake, Lincoln.
McCook. Miner, Moody, Sphinx and
Union. In some of the other eastern
counties the ratio runs close, but the
counties named are the only ones in
which the tenants have lead. But

Mule Forecasts
Mild Winter

Montevideo, Mimi, Oct. LIN
spite of the many signs which are
said to point to a long, hard winter,
Galen Barber's weather predicting
mule says that a short, mild winter
is ticketed for the northwest this
year. For eight years this mule has
forecast accurately the weather for
winter. When the mule puts on a
heavy fall coat early in the season
and keeps it on, long, snappy win
ter may be looked for, but If the new
coat that is usually taken on in Au-
gust is shed again in September then
a mild winter is coming. The mule
is now shedding the brand new coat
it took on in August and people who
have watched its weather prediction
in the past declare that an open win
tire may be looked for this year.
