 The snow that covered the hill top Monday morning had the effect of white daisies blooming amid the green, fresh grass of the common and was a pretty sight for few hours, or until it melted away.
 The changes in the seasons are so interesting as to detract from all that is not quite agreeable. This autumn the foliage ripened into color carni- val and in a night of rain dropped, leaving the trees in naked grace while the day of high wind blew the leaves away leaving the common and sur rounding lawns swept clean, and now we may look for Indian summer. Let us hope it comes to add to the genial delights of Thanksgiving

DAVIS HAS PLAN
7OAvERT STRIKES
LABOR CHIEF FANORS SYSTEM
OF KEYMAN TO STUDY
CONDITIONS.

Washington, June 18.-Secretary
of Labor Davis is drafting a plan
which he believes, with the eXpendi-
ture of $250,000 year by the gov
ernment, would prevent nine-tenths
of the labor strikes in the country.
81 believe" he said today, that
if the government would provide key
men-one for each of the fifteen ma
jor or key ndustries-strike troubles
would cease to an alarming extent
One of these men would be assigned
to each major industry. He would
have a couple of assistants. Their
duties would consist of maxi ing a
study Of the industry. both from the
employers standpoint and also from
the viewpoint of labor. They would
be governmental liaiSon officers be-
tween the employer and the employe
and would be in close touch with op-
erations in hte industrial fields and
the work of the labor unions. They
would always have at their finger
tips every bit of information as to
what was going on all the stime
They could quickly ascertain
whether the methods of the unions
representatives were fair and wheth-
er spy systems of the employers or
of the unions were being carried on
properly. In fact, money for both
the unions and the employers could
be saved. For with such a govern
mental representative always on the
Job these systems which have grown
up could be abolished with the
knowledge that there was a man al
ways on the job who would foresee
troubles and then take them up be-
fore either side has the opportunity"

RUST REPORTS
ARE CONFLICTING
NFESTATION NOT AS BAD AS
AT FIRST BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN.

Sioux City, June 18.-Reports re-
ceived yesterday by firms on the
Sioux City Grain exchange were con-
flicting and contradictory respecting
the prevalence of black rust in South
Dakota and other western territory.
Reports of infestation in Nebraska
and South Dakota and other terri
tory that were received Tuesday
brought an announcement from Chi
cago yesterday that experts would
arrive in this territory today for the
purpose of definitely determining the
grain disease that is said to have at
tackled the wheat crop.
A telegram received by Lamson
Bros. & Co., stated that grain deal
ers in Sioux Falls, s. D., had tele-
phoned over the entire southern half
of South Dakota and that no black
rust was reported, but the red rust
was putting in appearance.
This telegram continued: I'm the
central and eastern counties of
South Dakota wheat is reported in
good condition. In the north sec
ton recent high temperatures and
sparing rains of the last month re-
suited in heavy decline in condition.
There are some reports of badly
needed in the northern area"
A Minneapolis crop expert wired
yesterday to an exchange firm that
he had travelled 125 miles in south
eastern South Dakota from Mitchell
south around to Sioux Falls and had
failed to find any evidence of the
black rust. This crop expert further
stated that he had been informed
that the rust prevailed in northern
Nebraska and the extreme southeast
ern part of South Dakota.
Another telegram received yester-
by James e Bennett & Co., an ex-
change firm, states that r. M. Jones
county farm agent at Elk Point, S.
D., reported the leaf rust has been
prevailing for some time, but no dam
age had resulted from this source.
The telegram further said: "The

black rust Is now showing up in
some fields. All stalks are showing
black rust in light form, but it has
not spread heavily into the stems as
yet. Further damage will be gov
erned by weather conditions"
Inquiries respecting the prevalence
of reported black rust in this terri
tory ewre received by grain exchange
firms from Chicago, Omaha, Seattle,
Wash, and other cities where there
are grain markets.
A press telegram dated at Aber-
deem, s. d., and received last night
says a rainfall in that region yester-
day morning extending as far south
as Redfield was of great benefit to
the crops. In the two counties the
fields are barren in spots due to hot
winds, but according to reports to
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railway office at Aberdeen, there has
been no serious damage

HARDING REGIME
FORMER TREASURY SECRETARY
URGES AMERICA TO JOIN

Wellesley Hills, Mass, June 1S.-W
G. McAdoo, said in an address here
last night that republican leadership
in Washington offered no encourage
ment to a bushes ssituation which
he characterized as bad and stead
lily growing worse"
Mr.. McAdoo who came here to at
tend the commencement exercises of
the Boston institute asserted that the
United States shoul dadopt all pos
sible means for facilitating foreign
trade and should, by becoming a mem
ber of the eLague of Nations, use it's
influence to restore the economic
welfare of Europe.
"The difficulty is," he said, that
the republican party has a wrong
conception of the fundamentals of
the huge world problems. Their
leadership is based solely on mater
ialism and lacks the essential spirit

A ANALY|zES THE
COMING RING BOUT
DIR. FITZGERALD STUDIES HEADS
OF FIGHTERS AND MAKES
A PREDICTION.

Chicago, June 1S.-'If the scrap
goes six rounds, Carpenter will eth
er land a knockout or fight Demp-
sey to a draw" This is the informa-
tion given by DR.. j. HI. Fitzgerald,
character analyst and psychologist
who made his prediction from a
study of the heads of the fighters.
Mote that the Dempsey head has
low frontal development, indicating
lack of benevolence and of high
moral instinct The bulge over the
eyes, the square jaw, the thick lips
show power of penetrating, instinc-
tive animal tendencies.
1.-The Carpenter head on the other
hand, is symmetrical. 1t is one that
would grace the professions. | gath
er that he is man of finer social
adaptability and that he is of domes-
tic temperament. He possesses all
the graces and arts attributed to the
French, and with them the fighting
instinct. He is an anomaly. If the
fight is a test of raw fighting ability.
the champion will retain his belt, IL
it lasts long enough to give play to
generalship, then hurrah for the
contender"
Dr. Fitzgerald has won recognition
as a more or less reliable authority
on the ability of fighters. He pre-
dicted that Jack Johnson would whip
Jeffries.

Drill For Oil;
Get Water

Hot Springs, June 17.-An artes-
ian well near Ardmore, which was
commenced in 1913 and abandoned
until a few weeks ago for lack of
funds, has proven to be one of the
great gushers of the southwestern
part of South Dakota.
The parties who resumed the
drilling on the old well believed they
might strike oil. Now that they
struck nothing but water another test
well will be drilled at another point
on the Ardmore structure.
The supply of water struck in the
old well will be utilized for irriga-
tion and other useful purposes, so
the expense of drilling it will not be
lost.
