those conditions.
He said it sometimes took two or
three days for a Houlton town meet

the appropriation, which were US
ually decided on in advance, and the
rest of the time being taken up by
the election of the officers, over
which almost always u contest arose.
Mr.. Barnes explained the working
of the proposed law and submitted
a few changes in wording, which
would benefit the bill. All town Off
GERS except the moderator would be
elected by the secret ballot.
Mr.. Barnes said that as soon as the
bill for Houlton was introduced in
the House, others, seeing it, wanted
the provisions for their own towns
and therefore House Bill No. 1872 was
introduced which would provide the
same plan to all towns, if they saw
fit to adopt the method.

AUGUSTA HAS SUPPLY
OF REINDEER MEAT

For the first time in the history of
Augusta,-at least since the early
settlers built their camp fires here
reindeer meat has been received in
the city and is now on sale.
Merrill Bros. yesterday received a
whole reindeer from Alaska and a
display of one of the legs in the win
dow of the store attracted no end of
attention. For steaks, chops and
roasts, it is reported to be far ahead
of venison. much as that is priced.
The reindeer have come to be a
much priced animal in Alaska and the
herd planted there from Russia about
80 years ago has grown to such pro-
portions that it is now profitable and
feasible to market the meat.

Is UNUSUALLY SEVERE
ABOUT HURON.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 29.-Sioux Falls
experienced an unusual dust and sand
storm last night starting shortly be-
fore 9 O'Clock and continuing for
several hours. The wind started ris-
ing early in che vening and in a
short time small whirlwinds were Wis
iblee yerywhere. Newspapers were
carried high i'm the air and street
lights could hardly pentrate through
the clouds of dust that gathered spor-
adically.
There were frequent lulls in the
wind when for a few moments the
dust would settle only to be scattered
broadcast again by a fresh series of
dust. For time the sky appeared
ominous and severe storm was an
ticipat ted but none developed here.
The wind apparently was general
over the state and much more intense
to the west of here. 1t started early
in the evening at Huron and started
a sandstorm the like of which, it was
said. has never been seen in South
Dakota. Around Canton also the

UNEMPLOYMENT
CON F ERE n c T
REFUSAL ACCEPT WAGE CUTS
GIVEN AS ONE REASON FOR
PRESENT DEARTH OF EM-
PLOYMENT.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Aversion
of labor to accepting work at reduc-
ed wages was assigned as a cause of
some unemployment by Roswell F..
Phelps, director statistics of the Mas
sachusetts labor department, the first
witness heard today by the national
employment conferences committee
on unemployment statistics which
went to work to determine the ex-
tent and volume of the nations in
voluntary idle.
Harry ID. Jacobs. president of the
eX-service mems employment bureau
of New York, the next witness, esti-
mated that there were $4,000 unem-
ployed former service men in New
York city and said the establishment
of vocational training schools in ar
my camps as proposed by the govern
ment would solve the unemployment
problem as far as the unskilled world
war veteran was concerned. There
was no trouble finding work for skill
ed former service men, he said.
Luther c. Steward, president of
the National Federation of Federal
employees, presented prepared state
ment in which he declared that 1.-The
federal government in it's capacity as
employer has been a contributing
cause to the present unemployment
situation where it should have been
an alleviating agency" His statement
was referred to the subcommittee on
emergency state and municipal meas
ures and public works.
Unemployment in Minnesota was
estimated by ]. ID. Willie IS of the
industrial commission of aat state,
at about 10000. He declared labor
department estimates of unemploy-
ment in Minneapolis, ST Paul and
Duluth were unreliable.
The committee exhausted the list
of witnesses within an hour and a
half after it convened and adjourned
until additional Witnesses have been
summoned.
