State Crops Continue
In Healthy Condition

Pierre. June 1.-The crop indica-
tions over the state are holding up
to earlier forecasts. and the small
grain outlook is good. The southern
part of the state does not appear to
have much lead over the northern in
maturity. a number of fields of win
ter rye over the northern half being
we'll headed out, and in some fields
with a growth as high as the wire
fences surrounding the fields.
Other small grain is showing good
progress. Corn is farther along In
the southern part of the state than
the northern, cultivation being un-
der way in the south in some or the
earlier planted fields, while in the
north the planting is yet under way,
but being rushed, and there will be
but little planting left after June L.
The rainfall has been ample all
over the state, but heavier from
line across the center of the state
from east and west, toward the
south. than north of that line, but
there is no shortage of moisture in
any section.
The breaking plows are busy in
the central and western parts of the
state turning over new acreage, and
the flax sowing on this new ground
will be pushed during June.

WILL FIGHT FOR
REDUCED RATES
STATE RAILWAY BOARD SEEKS
DECREASE IN LIVESTOCK
CHARGES FROM WESTERN
SECTION.

Pierre. June 1.-The state rail-
way commission finds that the cham
bers of commerce of Omaha and
Council Bluffs, and associations in
Minneapolis and st. Paul, are joined
against them in their application for
a lower basis of class rates TO points
in this state west of the Missouri
river.
The old rate was the same for
eastern Nebraska and western South
Dakota, until the action of the state
commission of Nebraska and of the
interstate commerce commission
made the rate discriminatory so far
as western South Dakota is concern
ed, and these business associations
are evidently ready to help maintain
this discrimination by their efforts.
Members of the state commission
will attend hearings before the inter
state commission at Denver, begin
ming July /, and in Chicago begin
ming July on the application for
4 reduction in livestock rates from
all stations. in South Dakota to all
northwestern marketing points.
The rate is now so high that il
eats up practically all the profits for
the cattle growers and the movement
is being pushed for more equitable
basis or rates.

UNITED STATES TO
RECOGNIZE MEXICO
HUGHES NOTE TO OBREGON
PAVES WAY FOR NEGOTIA-
TIONS.

Washington, June President
Obregon of Mexico will accept the
American memorandum on the ques-
tion of recognition "as a basis for
negotiations, il was declared here
today by advisers of the Mexican
president.
The exchanges which now are ex-
pected TO follow between the two
governments soon will develop an
understanding that will prompt the
United States to recognize the Obre-
gon government, it was also believ-
ed in these quarters.
The next move by Mexico, ii is
thought, will be a reply from Presi-
dent Obregon to the communication
or memorandum from Secretary c..
E Hughes, which was presented by
George T. Summerlin, charge of the
American embassy in Mexico City.
Observers here think if this is salts
factory American recognition may
be extended foFthwide.
Dispatches from Mexico City were
regarded today as having definitely
established that the American memo
randum did not demand signature of
written guarantees in protocol or
like document as condition TO rec
ognition and that it did not embody
the recommendation of the fall re-
port. Dispatches from Mexico City
also indicated Obregon was satisfied
with the American communication.

Get Time On
Land Payments

Pierre, June 1.-The federal gov
ernment has notified those who have
purchased lands in the northwestern
part of the state whether directly
from the government or from the In
dians that on account of financial
conditions they will be given a year
of time in which to make the nee
essary payments, provided they pay
the interest for that time This will
mean relief to many purchasers, as
the interest payments are such that
they can be met, but to make pay
ments of the purchase amounts due
would be practically an impossibility

race riot which took toll of upwards
of so lives ened otday when troops
rounded up 5000 blacks and march
ed them to convention hall. Scatter
ed fighting continued on the out

Fall From Tree
Kills Pioneer

Springfield, June Ira j.
Smith, who died at his home here
on May 26, was one of the promin-
ent old settlers of the state. The
cause of his death is peculiarly sad
one. and shows the deep interest he
had in the welfare of the Congrega-
tional church, of which he was a
charter member. He was trimming
large maple tree on the grounds
of the new building now in process of
erection, and was just cutting off A
large branch when it came down
suddenly and the end hit him ON the
temple He was knocked senseless
and fell 25 feet to the ground. He
was taken home and lived only four
hours after the accident.

in charge, spells real action. Colonel Woods is an
organizer and executive of the highest ability He
brought the New York police force up to standard
of efficiency it had never before attained. He has
devoted his life to public service and his selection
for this position will command the confidence of
employers and employees alike.
1t is Secretary Hooyer's hope that this confer
ence will have the effect of organizing the whole
country on a community basis to deal with the
pressing problem. That is the only way to grapple
effectively with the emergency. Private charitable
associations can not do it, however admirable their
aims. They will have their part in relieving the
inevitable Distress but in the main what are needed
are Jobs, not aims. Each community must mobilize
its for this emergency of peace as it did
for that of war
In the light Of the many practical plans now
in operation to relieve the situation, the public
realizes more clearly the undesirabity of the sem
sational methods adopted by professional agitators
such as the one who staged a demonstration before
tie White House the other day. To exploit the I'M
employed in this manner does nothing to help their
plight The authorities do not need to be impressed
with the seriousness Of the situation. They
doing their best. Demagogues are not helping
bit to better it. Their clumsy sensationalism only
tends to make matters worse.

FEEDING THE RUSSIANS.

Paris newspapers have taken UP the refrain that
to feed the starving Russians will help to maintain
soviet rule. 1t is charged that the soviet authori-
ties are exploiting for political ends the misery OF
the people. Be this as 1t may, and regretable as
it may be, the world can not stand aside and per-
NIT millions to starve because they have fallen I'M
der control of oppressors The worst feature of the
situation lies in that present conditions threaten
t, be eclipsed by conditions year hence.
Little grain is being and the harvest next year
in the famine region must be small.
The people who in want are the ones on
whom reliance is placed eventually to assist in the
overthrow Of the cutthroats now In power. The
soviet government may divert a portion Of the food
from those for whom it is intended, but that will
not excuse the world from making an effort to re-
lieve the suffering To do the right thing may not
be the quickest route to the solution of problem,
but It is the only one that can be Endorsed. 1t Is
nrobable that the Of the Russian people
have no more favorable opinion of their oppressors
than we, but they for the moment, can not help
themselves Therefore it remains for us and others
who believe with to help them in the only way
possible

STRONG MARKET
FOR SHEEP IS
REPORTED HERE
Wool Growers Commission
Company Expects a Con-
tinued Demand and Pos
Sibly Higher Prices.

Lamb sales last week ran from
1885 to $3.50 at the Kansas City
market, according to letter re-
ceived yesterday at the office of
the state wool growers association
from the Wool Growers Commits
sion company, which is handling a
large amount of the business of the
wool growers of the west and
southwest. The commission COM
pany was formed through the eff
forts \of the national association
and number of state organiza-
tons.
The feeding lamb supply was not
nearly enough to furnish the orders
held hy numerous buyers, conse-
quently steady prices prevailed and
the bulk sold from $3.50 to $6.75.
Many feeders were sought for at
lower prices and thousands could
have been disposed of at around 6
cents and under.
1t is the opinion Of the commits
sion company that as long as the
supply is insufficient, chances for
6 cent feeders are slim and the
company does not look for excess
sive receipts.
Good young breeding ewes are
in demand and the choice kind are
bringing around $5.75; however,
they are very scarce and but few
are coming into the Kansas City
market.
Throughout last week the de-
mand was good for all classes and
the wool commission company
looks for a continued strong mar
ket under normal receipts.
