Contest For Legion
HI e a d q uar t e r 8

Mitchell, Aug. 6.-The fight for
the permanent state headquarters OF
the South Dakota department of the
American Legion will be the feature
of the coming Legion convention at
Rapid City this month.
The fight will exceed in interest
even the fight for department COM
mander. Mitchell officially entered
the fight for the department head
quarters when based on the Coacher
post membership, 20 delegates were
elected to the state encampmnt.
Other cities that have entered the
headquarters fight are Sioux Falls
Watrtown, Aberdeen and Huron.
The fact that the headquarters
were originally located in Sioux Falls
has lined the business men OF thar
city solidly behind Harold Mason
post in an effort to retain the honor.
Aberdeen's chances for securing
the headquarters are said to have
been lessened by the fact that tna'
city has been designated as the de-
partment headquarters for the Lee
gion auxiliary.
The way in which the fight FOL
headquarters goes will In large
measure determine the 1922 conven
tiora city, for no city would in1ur'
it's chances of securing the stat
headquarters by putting up fign
for the next convention.

H|LLCREST PRIZES
GIVEN WINNERS
PHIL SHERIDAN, LUCKY TICKET
HOLDER, GETS BUNGA-
LOW.

AS announced at the Hillcrest
sale yesterday the prize drawing for
ticket holders took place last evening
from the bank corners on Egan aven-
ue in the presence of a very large
crowd that surrendered their num-
bers to Rev. T. A. Flynn, L. HI. Bla-
gen and G. F. Tuttle, judges chosen
by those responsible for the sale.
Excitement ran at high pitch and
many a hope was patiently nursed
expecting luck, or a chance draw, to
award a free gift
1t was near o'clock when the
judges began their work that led to
the final announcement of names of
persons in line for the five prizes
that were awarded, as follows: Phil
Sheridan, of Madison. holder of luck
lest ticket, first prize of advertised
free bungalow and $500 in cash; w.
H. Hanson, of Brookings, ticket 2S9,
second prize of $500 in cash; Her
bert Samuels, Chicago travelling man,
third prize, lot clear of incumber-
ance; J. T. Mcdonald, of Madison,
deed to lot as fourth prize and s..
Swanson, of Dell Rapids, fifth prize
of a lot in Hillcrest section.
Those failing to draw anything
readily consoled themselves with the
thought that they had received their
moneys worth in their admission to
one of the fastest state league ball
games ever witnessed in the state.
Every inch of seating space in the
grandstand and on the bleachers was
taken by an immense crowd that
had their interest sustained through
twelve innings by sheer clean play
ing.
The locals were on their home
ground and Sioux Falls was made
aware of this by pitching, base play
ing and strategy of a superior sort
on the part of the Grey's.
Yesterdays game started off even
ly with neither side scoring up to
the last half of the twelfth inning
when with two men out and run
ner on third Manager Altizer took
the hickory, projected safe hit to
field area, and brought in the covet-
ed and only score in the entire game.
Sioux Falls plays again this evening.

CHOLERA SWEEPING
OVER R RUSSIA A
MORE THAN 10000 HAVE DIED
IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

Reval. Aug. ga cholera death
wave is sweeping over five new Rus
sian districts taking heavy toll of
lives. The epidemic has invaded Po-
dolia, Voltoga, Kieff, Tver and Smo-
lensk making 25 provinces in all
now affected. One hundred and fif-
ty thousand victims were reported
to have died in two towns in the last
two months. Fifty two thousand
were children. A description of the
terror following the death wave was
contained in dispatches received to-
day. Gangs of looters followed the
trail of burning homes which were
fired by occupants when they de-
serted the premises. Armed bands
entered the homes of those suspect
ed of having food and stole anything
they could find.

HALF BILLION TOAD
IN FARM EXPORTS
SENATE PASSES BILL EMBODY-
ING ADMINISTRATION PLAN
OF CREDITS FOR SOIL TIL
LERS.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 6.-The
agricultural credits bill, embodying
the administration plan for loans by
the war finance corporation to aid
exports of farm products, was pass
ed today by the senate.
There was no record vote on pass
age of the bill, which now goes to the
house.
The measure authorizes agricul-
tural loans from hte $500, ,000, eco
cash capital of the war finance cor
poration, which also is authorized to
issue $4,000. 900, 600 of bonds in OBJ
tanning additional loan funds.
The bill was put through as a sub
stitute for the Norris agricultural
credits plan. As amended in the
senate it prohibits loans to foreign
governments, the clause going out
without objection after several sena-
tors had expressed disapproval of
any further loans to Europe.
Another amendment provides for
loans to producers upon notes and
other instruments of Indebtedness,
when secured by chattel mortgages
or other papers conveying a market
able title to staple agricultural prod
ucts, including live stock.
Under the conference agreement
the house bill, regarded as much less
drastic than the original Kenyon
Kendrick senate measure, virtually
stands. Senator Kenyon, republican
Iowa, told the senate today that the
senate conferees had been compelled
to yield to the house on nearly all
points.
1T was question of no legisla-
tion at all or accede to the house"
said Senator Kenyon, who said he
was not satisfied with the final draft,
but believed under the present secre-
tary of agriculture. that it would do
much good Senator Norris, repub-
lican, Nebraska, he said, had refused
to sign the conference report.

GREAT SUM DUE
IN UNPAID TAX
COMMISSIONER PRESTON ESTI-
MATES STATE HAS DUE 1T
100000 FROM INHERIT
ANCE.

Yankton, Aug. 6.-According to
HI. C. Preston. of Pierre, a member
of the South Dakota tax commission
and inheritance tax expert, there Is
approximately 100000 due the
state of South Dakota Is unpaid In
heritance taxes.
After a years default inheritance
taxes draw Z per cent peralty II
South Dakota. But under the recent
financial conditions this has heen
considered cheap way to broow
money and there is a considerable
sum yet due the state.
Heirs are in some cases placed In
somewhat embarrassing positions by
the fluctuations in land values, Mr..
Preston stated. One estate compris-
| ed considerable land which at the
time of the death of the owner. was
conservatively valued at 5000 an
acre. 1t was finally so listed with
tax commission The heirs did not
/ have a great deal of money. and had
| to get permission of the court to sell
one piece of the land to pay the state
and federal inheritance and income
and property taxes on the whole
| tract.
When that proceeding was finally
completed-and the land was offer-
! ed for sale, no bidders were found at
| 800 an acre, and il is still on the
market at this price. Mr.. Preston
considers this a rather striking Illus
tration of the fall in property val
ues in the last year or two.

Bandits Gets $40 In
Beauty ParlOr Raid

Mitchell, Aug. 6.-One lone male
bandit, cleaH-shaven and in search
of shaving lotion. staged a bold
robbery in a eauty parlor here.
The young bandit entered the par
lors of Mrs. George Kennedy and
asked for some lotion and some
change. Mrs. Kennedy, alone at the
time, waited on him and opening a
cabinet took out drawer containing
some bills.
The young man grabbed the draw
er from her hand and disappeared
down the hall. So startled was Mrs.
Kennedy that by the time she had
collected herself and notified the
police all trace of the bold thief was
lost. tt
The loot amounted to only about
$1,000.

able. The other 1.5N0 were still in
process of examination or had gone
to the investigation department. The
examination department is working
more rapidly than had been expect
ed, while the receiving and filing de-
partment is finding its work more
laborious than had been anticipated.
Rulings must be made on many in
dividual cases, and Col Ray feels
that his presence win be necessary
at Pierre until a policy has been
adopted that will cover almost any
exiwency that may arise.

CLAIMS REQUIRE
DETAIL EFFORTS
PER CENT BONUS
APPLICATIONS HELD UP TO
CORRECT ERRORS.

Yankton, Aug. 6.-Approximate ately
25 per cent Of the soldier bonus ap-
plications filed with the state board
at Pierre require investigation to es-
tablish certain facts that were not
given or to correct errors, according
to Col. Fred b. Ray, executive Off
Ger, here on brief visit. While the
board is operating even more eff
ciently than had been anticipated,
there are innumerable questions
which arise that require his personal
attention, and he will have to spend
considerable time with the board
passeding on these questions, making
rulings and establishing a definite
policy.
Most of the 25 per cent that go to
the investigation department have
not been properly made out, said
Col. Ray. Carelessness is a big
item. The eastern part of the state
has been more careful in filling out
the blanks than the western, as a
general rule he said. Extreme haste
in filling thems out is responsible in
some degree. In hundred of cases
questions are not answered at all,
and in others insufficient facts are
given. frequently the county mem-
bers fail--to affix their signatures.
Up 10 Saturday night. July 80,
about 50os- applications had been
filed With -tre state board, and of
these about sz,eee had passed thru
