BLUE LAWSDEF|ED
IN DAKOTA CITIES
THEATERS PLAY TO CAPACITY
HOUSES, REFUSING TO HEED
WARNING.

Pierre, April 6.-No attempt was
made to enforce the South Dakota
blue laws in Pierre Sunday and re-
ports were received here from Sioux
Falls, Mitchell and other leading
cities of the state that no effort was
made to clamp the lid on in those
places. In fact, theaters were rum
ming to capacity houses, the reports
added, and it was learned that base
ball games were played in various
parts of the state.
Heads of the South Dakota State
Baseball league have declared that
the league will be forced to quit be-
fore the 1921 season starts If the
blue laws are enforced and point out
that Sunday is the only day in the
week when the majority of people,
particularly working people, have an
opportunity for recreation or amuse-
ments. Their stand is backed up by
theater men, confectioners, ice cream

LARGE FORESTS
|NS0UTH DAKOTA
1,OS5,671 ACRES OF NATIONAL
PRESERVES In STATE.

Deadwood, April GA total of
land is now under cultivation in this
state, according to announcement
just made by George A. Duthie, for
est supervisor here
The Black Hills contain two of the
national forests, the Black Hills ma
tional forest having an area of 49,
500 acres and the Harvey national
forest, 535,61O acres. In addition.
Mr.. Duthie added, there are 1911
acres of national forestry in Hard
ing county in the northwestern cor
ner of the state.
The national forests of South Da-
kota were created in 1898, and under
a corps of workers, whose duty it
has been to keep them continually
productive, they have grown until
today they are among the best in
the world. The western yellow pine
constitutes about 95 per cent Of the
timber, the remainder being made
up of eastern white spruce, aspen
white birch. scrub oak and green
ash OF them, only the pine and
spruce are commercially valuable.
The estimated stand of western yell
low pine. Mr.. Duthie continued, is
approximately 2,225, 100000 feet and
of spruce 50,0OO,000 feet.
Growth studies which recently
have been completed disclose the
fact that it takes from $50 to 200
years for the trees in the Black Hills
to reach merchantable size; many of
the trees are from 400 to 600 years
old, but the rate of growth since
they reached maturity has been ex-
ceedingly slow.
"Our arm," Mr.. Duthie declared,
"is to sell all of these mature and
over mature trees as fast as a mar
ket can be found and to retain in
the forests only the young, thrifty,
fast growing trees. By this means,
We expect to reduce the average afe
of the trees at maturity, or the aver
age age of obtaining merchantable
timber to 100 or 120 years"

PLANS
F OR RECALL
NORTH DAKOTA LEAGUERS TO
CENTER EFFORTS ON COL
LECTTNG FUNDS TO FIGHT
INDEPENDENTS.

Fargo, April 6.-The Nonpartisan
league of North Dakota will not seek
to recall any anti-Nonpartisan state
officials or legislators. This decision
was reached by the league executive
state committee in session here last
night. When the anti-Nonpartisan
decided on a recall election against
league officials recently, it was re-
ported the league would start a
sweeping retaliatory recall.
Reasons for the decision were CIV
en- by committee members as fol-
lows:
That it was felt that the recall was
invoked by the anti-Nonpartisans
without reason and against the pro-
test of the great majority of North
Dakota voters"
That the committee felt that all
the time and money at the disposal
of the league should be put to the
task of opposing the recall of league
officials.
That it was considered best to
spare the state the expense of re-
call.
he committee members favored
speedy collection of $150,0O0 for
use in fighting the recall. The
league slogan will be "Vote No on
Everything"

GERMAN PEACE
NOT HASTy
NATTER WILL GET UNDER WAY
AT THE SPECIAL SEES
SION.

Washington, ID. c., April al
though the resolution declaring a
separate peace with Germany is to
be reintroduced at the special ses-
sion of congress, plans of republican
leaders as they shape up after many
conferences include no provision for
hurrying the measure to a roll call.
In some quarters close to the ad-
mlnistration, it was believed tonight
that the peace declaration, vetoed by
President Wilson, must wait on the
calendar of deferred business for 90
days or more while President Har-
ding tries out his preliminary ideas
for establishment of an association
of nations.
How far the president may have
concurred in such program was not
revealed, but in some quarters it was
pointed out that with the resolution
hanging fire in congress the admin
istration might be able to exert an
enlarged influence in securing ac-
ceptance of its peace plans by other
nations. Technically, this govern

many, exercising full privileges of
belligerent in the arrangement of a
final peace, and still actually asso-
ciated with the allies.
In such circumstances, ii was sug-
gested, the possibility of separate
peace might be used automatically
along with the foreign loan situa-
ton as a leverage to secure accept
ance OF Mr.. Harding's plans for his
peace association.
1t is known that the subject of a
peace declaration has occupied inter
est of administration officials re-
Gently, and that several alternate
plans have been urged on the presi-
dent. Saturday he conferred with
Senator Knox, republican, author of
the original separate peace measure,
and today he talked with Senator
Lodge, republican senate leader, and
Senators Watson, of Indiana, and
Brandegee, of Connecticut
Today the British ambassador, Sir
Auckland Geddes, also called at the
White House, although it was said
the visit was one of courtesy.

HARDING MESSAGE
ON RAILS WAITED
PRESIDENT PROMISES TO DO
ALL HE CAN TO SOLVE PROB
LEM.

Washington, April 6.-President
Harding has buckled down to a com
prehensive study of the railroad
problem and it is limited that he may
have a special message on the sub
ject for congress early in the special
session.
The president now is in the study
ing stage of the railroad issue and
conferred in separate conferences
with Bert M. Jewell. president of the
railroad employees department of
the American Federation of Labor
and memb Der of the railroad labor
board, and A. b Garretson, former
way Conductors. In these discus
sions the president sought to learn
all that he could fthe employees
side of the railroad situation.
"The president seemed intensely
interested in the railroad case," said
talk with Mr.. Harding. HE was
seeking information and / gave him
all could presenting the case of the
railroads from the employees stand
point. / sought to convince the pre-
sident of the mistaken claim of the
railway executives that they cannot
operate successfully without a reduc-
tion in wages. There are many ways
that the railroads can reduce operat-
ing expenses legitimately without re-
ducing wages.
1--WE did not discuss my telegram
to the president asking him to call a
conference of the executives and en-
ployees further than to refer to it
and the president said that he want
ed to do all that he could to be of
help in the matter"
Mr.. Garretson denied any govern
mental ownership hint.

Cooperative Grain
Marketing Conference

Chicago. April 6.-Plans for CO.
operative marketing of grain were
worked out by representatives of the
leading farmers organizations of ma
ton here today. Henry c. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture, conferred
with farmers on marketing plans
and assured them of government as
sistance in selling their grain. Wal
lace declared that there was just as
much reason why the government
should assist the farmer in develop
ment methods for marketing his
crops efficiently as there is for aid
ing him in increased production.
The meeting today was held to ra-
tify the marketing plan worked out
by the committee of II appointed
last July The plan will not inter-
fere with existing farm organiza-
tiOns. 1t is purely cooperative
plan, chairman Gustafson said.

Farmers Want
Drainage System

Brookings, April 6.--It is expected
that in the near future work will
commence on one of the large drain
age projects to be undertaken in
South Dakota this year. More than
60 per cent of the farmers living
along the Big Sioux river in Brook
ings county have petitioned the
county commissioners for the con-
struction of the drainage system,
whic hwill be within Brookings
county. A definite decision as to
whether or not the task will be un-
dertaken will be announced at a
meeting of the county commissioners
on May Z.
The project involves the draining
of approximately $4,000 acres OF
the richest land in the state. The
cost is estimated at s350,000.

COMMERCIAL CL j B.
REJECTS RESOLUTIONS.
ALL OVERTURES TO MERGE
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
FAIL

AT their regular monthly meeting
held in their rooms last evening the
members of the Commercial club
made definite and final decision
| on the resolutions adopted by the
joint committees comprised of citi-
zens and members of the Madison
Merchants association.
An attempt had been made to or
ganize a Chamber of Commerce the
membership of which would include
business interests both of the Com
mercial club and the Merchants as
sociation. To build up such an ac-
tive body certain changes in the con-
stltutlon of the club were proposed,
taken under advisement and finally
submitted for action either of accent
ance or rejection by the members of
the Comm ercial club.
To merge the Merchants associa-
ton with the club by forming a sep
arate bureau for its credit activity
was one of the principal features in
the proposition.
After weeks of effort in irving To
get together on common ground it
was almost unanimously decided last
night that full rejection of the pro-
posed resolutions be placed on the
Commercial clubs minutes. This, of
course, signifies that the club has
gone on record as opposing any
change OF name or Independent ac-
ton. lts membership includes a list
over one hundred names and those
most interested consider that their
constitution and bylaws cover all the
activities suggested in the rejected
resolutions. Furthermore, the Com
merclal club extends an invitation to
business and citizens generally to
JOIN them in furthering all enter
prlses and interests that look toward
the upbuilding of Madison.
DIR. Higbie was present last even
ing and mentioned that all the coun-
ty superintendents of the state had
been called TO meet here on April
1921 for three days session on
vltalized agricultural work intended
for rural schools. Upon being ap-
prlsed of this fact President r. e.
Scudder appointed two committees,
one to look after transportation and
the other to make arrangements for
entertainment of the visiting edu-
Gators. 1t is hoped to have autos
engaged to convey to Madison the
people coming over the Northwestern
road to Arlington. This confer
ence is big event for our city and
1t has been proposed that, preceding
the meeting, a special effort be made
by all citizens to clean up their pre-
misses and alleyways in order to
properly impress the strangers COM
ing to our city.
The club feels that it is prospering
and able to function in all matters
relating to our municipal welfare.
Two other committees were also
appointed last evening. One of them
will take up the matter of a budget
system and the second will arouse
interest in increasing membership.
Now that the club has announced
itself Enthusiastically it remains to be
seen whether or not an attempt will
still be made to institute a chamber
of commerce entirely independent of
either the Merchants association or
the commercial club or in conjunc-
tion with the former.

One of the latest to testify regard
