Mess Wagon For
Guests A Novelty

Belle Fourche, June IA novel
entertainment feature adopted by
the local commercial club while en-
tertaining guests to the city is the
serving of meals from chuck" wa
gon, these vehicles having been CON
spicuous on the ranges during the
days when this was the center of a
great cattle raising district.
These mess wagons carried the
food supplies of the cowboys while
on duty on the ranges, or while en-
gagged in rounding up cattle.
The commercial club has one OF
these chuck" wagons for special oc-
casions, and when entertaining
guests to the city in this novel ia
shion the wagon is drawn up in the
shade at a convenient spot and the
guests and their hosts partake of
meals in the fashion in vogue on the
great sheep and cattle ranges.

EXPENSES WILL
FIGURE IN TEST
PIERRE RUMOR SAYS LEGISLA-
TIVE EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
MAY GET INTO COURT.

Pierre, June 24.-Indication are
at the present time that a test suit
will be brought in the supreme court
Immediately after July TO test out
the matter of payment of expense
accounts for legislative members, for
which an appropriation was made al
the last session, allowing each legis-
lative member an expense account OF
$500 for the session.
Members have announced that
they will send in their vouchers as
soon as the money is available un-
der the law, and interested parties
say that as taxpayers they will join
the state auditor from issuing any
warrants for such payments. 1t is
possible that in this test not only
the expense accounts for Legislative
members, but for the other state of
ficers will be included in a general
suit covering the whole issue.
The legislative members first
passed their bill declaring the ques-
ton of expense accounts to be pay
able at once, but this was held not
to be a proper emergency provision
by the supreme court, and in the
closing days what was classed as the
Hog House" bill was dug up and
changed from an appropriation for
construction of a hog house at the
state college and amended to pro-
vide for payment of legislative eX-
penses.
The question of expense accounts
will be given a general hearing II
the plans now under way are carried
out, the suit being started possibly
on July /.

ers must do their part.

crimes against banks in the state

cepting the presidency. He outlined

YANKEE DOODLE DAY
|SA GREAT SUCCESS
A QUIET, ORDERLY CROWD AT
TENDED YESTERDAYS LE-
GION DOINGS AT THE LAKE

Everything passed off well at the
lake yesterday when the Yankee
Doodle Day" program was in full
swing. 1t was a day of delight for
about five thousand people, and,
scattered along the shore of the lake
and all over the grounds were nearly
five hundred eX-service men who
found a welcome and plenty of en-
tertainment.
AT the auditorium in the early
afternoon the program of speaking
and dancing began. Walter Farmer
was the program leader
Following a number from a mixed
quartet and duet by the Johnson
sisters, Miss elene SamueIson, of
Chicago, gave a wonderful exhibition
the dancers art Two encore num-
bers were eagerly called for and re-
spOnses given.
Attorney George Danforth, of
Sioux Falls presented some well
grounded views on the new move
ment looking towards a more perfect
Americanization of people on our
shores of foreign ancestry. He is
a ready speaker and held his au-
dience we'll considering the terrific
heat that caught all in its grasp.
In mid afternoon George Vanselow
of the ST. Paul Dispatch Aerial cir
Gus performed some most thrilling
airplane stunts over the lake and
above the heads of the thousands of
interested spectators. AS advertised
he stood out on one wing with a
flying flag in one hand. Next he
climbed down to the axle and hung
suspended head down from a rope
ladder. The aviator did some queer
maneuvers with the plane, looping
the loop and making nose spins.
The acquatic sports attracted the
crowds while a royal battle between
skiff warriors was in progress. Div
ing and swimming races and field
sports offered much amusement to
the young people present.
The evening events consisted of
instruction boxing bouts and dane
ing. The new dance pavilion never
held a larger crowd than attended
last evening.
The three preliminary instruction
boxing bouts occurred in the auditor
ium Roy Mckee and Dave Carpen-
ter of Sioux Falls entered the first
preliminary. Runchey Bros. of Madi-
son were in the second and Sydney
Lynn, of Kansas City, and V. Renley,
of Denver, in the third. Benjamin
Mertens, of ST. Paul, and Al Norton,
of Minneapolis engaged in the fin
ais.
All told Yankee Doodle Day" was
a great success and the local Ameri-
can Legion are to be complimented
upon the fine system used in handl-
ing the crowds.

one ate everything that was served,
and when the stomach was stuffed
to its physical limit there were long
feathers at hand to tickle the throat
and relieve the feaster of what he
had already gorged himself with. The
meals were eaten with the diners at
full length on cushions with their
heads resting on the laps of slave
girls, other guests, or supported by
their elbows. One feast included:
Dormice stewed with honey and
pepper, sausages, served on individ-

wheat ears hidden in the center, peas,
beef kidneys, African eggs. custard.
