WHY?
Why Does Iron Get Red when Heated
Copywright. {. 1920 by
Wheeler Syndic : te. Inc.

The application OF heat acts upon
different materials in varying ways, pro-
ducing marked chemical changes in
some and on others leading TO varia-
ton of their form or q Encouragement
of the molecules which make up the
entire object. The hardening Of the
albumin OF an egg is familiar example
of the first effect of heat, while the red
light given off BY piece of hot iron
exemplifics the second.
Up to the time it reaches a certain
temperature, iroa apparently does not
change It's form under the iaflueuce
OF the heat. Then II becomes a dull
brownish red, then bright fiery red and
firaIly, Just before il melts, dazzling

ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK MARKET

Generally lighter receipts of all
classes of livestock both here and at
other leading markets during the past
week, compared with a week age, have
been the chief factor in placing live
stock values on a somewhat higher
level.
Cornfed cattle continue scarce, al
though a few fed yearlings sold to city
butchers on early days of the week
up to $500, with a several load string
of 1860 pound beeves to packers at
$40. Better offerings of grass beeves
sold at the close from $500 to $3.50,
with the bulk at $500 to s5.75, a few
OF the commoner kind down around
$3.50, all showing gains Of Csc to SOC
for the week. Butcher she stock
showed a similar gain, bulk selling
from 1925 to $3.50, with a few Of the
better offerings on up to $500 or
higher. Gamers, cutters and bologna
bulls closed fully Csc higher for the

public institutions and toward our
public representatives. Office holders
in the United States have borne such
attack and Misrepresentation and have
become the target of such destructive
bombardment that it is almost impos-
sible to get the right kind of men to
list themselves for Office or to accept
public appointment. Political cam
paigns though forced to disinfectiOn
in recent years, are yet too frequently
perfervid competitions in personal vii
LITIGATION. A man of ideals Offering
himself for public Office must be un-
hesitant to withstand misrepresenta-
ton; to have his motives questioned /;
his personal and private life stripped
and distorted to satisfy the passion of
that breed of politician to whom moth
ing is clean.
AS individuals we can force whole
some conditions in American life by
fatty refusing to associate ourselves
with political followings in which such
damnably debased tactics are counte-
nanced.
When the successful candidate has
attained public Office, he then ceases
to be, in the minds of many Of us, an
honorable, patriotic citizen. Years of
honest life among us are discounted
and we begin to look upon him, too
often, with suspicion. Whatever he
does appears tinged with improper
consideration, due not wholly for the
public good. And despite all, the man
in public life today who does not spend
each waking hour in sincere and un-
selfish endeavor to serve his city. his
state and his country is the exception
to the rule. The greater proportion
Of mistakes made by men in public Of
fee are errors of heart and o of
head.
How many public servants, having
given the best that was in them to
the office which they held, have been
returned to their neighbors broken in
health, sick at heart, misunderstood,
their honesty smirched; left to finish
their barren days rejecting on the
acrid ingratitude of the public.
Individually we can correct this con
dition by standing st~eadfastly by the
officials we have elected to public Of
fee. Doubtless we elected them be-
| cause we had faith in their judgment.
Doubtless we selected them from
among their fellows because of their
fitness for the task and because OF
their particular qualities as American
citizens. We cannot expect a human
being to be right all of the time. We
can expect him to be humanity honest
and sincere and humanity fallible.
America is secure against assaults
from without. If that majestic struc-
ture which has been reared by dint
of so much suffering and sacrifice ever
crumbles it will be but the result of
the careless indifference of the indi-
vidual American into whose keeping
has come this greatest of all response
bilities.

BRAN BUGS ARE PREVALENT

Bran bugs have been found in
much Of the seed grain which is being
held on the farm for next springs
seeding" states A. L. Ford, extension
entomologist at State college. These
insects, although capable Of injuring
the termination of the grain since
they feed on the germ, have done but
little damage in South Dakota thus
far. Efforts should be directed to-
wards keeping this damage as low as
possible. p
First, determine if the grain is in
tested by screening a little of it
through a piece of ordinary window
screening. After warming up the
screening, the insects can be readily
seen if present. The light colored
book-lice and mites should not be con-
sidered as they are practically harm
less.
eff infested with bran bugs, the
grain should be run through a tanning
mill or a cold day this fall, since be-
low 40 degrees Fahrenheit the insects
are dormant and will be removed the
same as is foreign matter in the grain.
The screenings from infested grain
should be either Immediately fed or
burned. Do not clean on a warm day
as the insects are then active and
many of them will go through with
the grain. By removing the pests in
this manner this fall, all chances for
further damage during any possible
warm spells this winter will be elimi-
mated. AS long as the temperature
remains low these insects will not work
or multiply.
I'm case seed grain has been heavily
infested, it would be wise to run a
termination test before planting in the
spring. If the termination is found
to have been lowered it can be corrected
by increasing the rate of seeding per
acre."

LOTTERY DANCES ILLEGAL

States Attorney c.. o. Trygstad has
received from Attorney General B. S,
Payne a ruling on the legality of Ger
tain forms of lotteries which have
| been common in this county during
the past year. Mr.. Trygstad wrote to
the attorney general asking whether
the giving of a chance on a land draw.
ing with dance tickets would consti
tute a violation of the law.
The facts presented by Mr.. Trygstad
were that a certain person in Brook
ings county had made arrangements
to give a dance and is selling admis-
| sion tickets at n dollar. Each per-
son who purchased a ticket acquires
with a chance to obtain a quarter
section of land, which is to be dis
posed of as a prize, by lot. No one
can obtain a right to participate in
the drawing except he purchase a
dance ticket, and notices of such right
are given on the tickets sold.
where a definite amount is paid
by the purchaser for the chance of
obtaining the prize the opinion
states, "and where the amount paid for
such chance is not paid for any other
purpose, the question of what consti-
tutes a valuable consideration does
not arise.
However,, in the instance to which
YOU have called u attention, people
are urged to pay a fee of $1.OO for the
right of admission, and in addition to
securing such right the purchaser is
also given a chance of winning the
prize. In such a case, it becomes OF
first importance to determine whether
a valuable consideration had been
paid for such chance

held such offerings were beyond a

of the law. Concluding his opinion, Mr..
Payne says:
81 am therefore of the opinion that
there Is a valuable consideration Tor
the chance of obtaining a prize, with
in the meaning Of the lottery statute,
when such chance Is held out to the
purchaser as an inducement to buy
property or obtain a privilege, or for
the purpose of stimulating the sale OF

alton that It may be claimed that the
