all the hardships of the early settl-

In the spring of 1873 Mr.. Petit
grew made his first trip west, land
ing at Lake Benton. Mimi. which
then was the end of the railroad. The
next day he started on foot across
the prairie for Flandreau, which at

the trip safely. He made entry OF

TO Vermont In 1878 he made an
other "trip TO South Dakota. and on
March 8, 1879, brought his family
to Dakota. This trip was made TO
Sioux Falls. to which point a rail-
road had just been constructed.
Numerous guests were present TO

5Oth anniversary of married life.
Among these We're several other old
pioneers, who have gained promin-
ence in the state. and who during the
golden wedding festivities recalled
many of the humorous incidents OF
pioneer life on a Dakota farm.
One of the old settlers recalled
that in the early days when a set
tier wanted to do the right thing oy
a neighbor along the entertainment
line they would "treat" them 10 a
ride in an ox-cart. These old-time
joy-rides were then regarded as a
! real luxury.

HOLDS BACK
ANT|-BEER BILL
CONFERENCE FAII-ONE
HOPE HELD OUT.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 13.-Ef-
forts to send the anti-beer bill to
conference failed in the house today
after Representative volstead, author
of the original prohibition enforce
ment act, was unable to cite provi-
sion showing that it applied TO Ha-
waii and the Virgin islands. Speaker
Gillette sustained a point of order by
Representative Walsh, republican, of
Massachusetts,, that the house itself
should pass on senate amendments
to the measure extending the nation
al act to those islands.
One more hope for medicinal beer
was held out today by Secretary Mel
Ion.
Discussing the anti-beer bill now
i'm conference, Mr.. Mellon said that
should action upon the measure be
deferred by congress until after the
recess, ii was possible that the reg
ulations covering the use of beer for
medicinal purposes would be issued
by the treasury. Under the existing
law. he explained, the brewers are
entitled to the regulations, although
il was probable that few would wish
TO take advantage of them and make
any financial outlay in the face OF
impending hostile legislation.

ENDORSES NEW
CREDITS PLAN
DON LIVINGSTON THINKS BILL
BEFORE CONGRESS- FOR AID
To FARMERS WILL BE
BENEFICIAL.

Pierre, Aug 13.-The bill now be-
agriculture is believed by Don Liv-
ingston, head of the state department
of agriculture, 10 be a step which
will go a long way toward giving
the farmers of the country an OPP
portunity 10 get a breathing spell
and get back to normal conditions
again
Mr.. Livingston is certain thai the
amendments which have been pro-
posed and recommended will extend
the benefits OF the work OF the waF
finance corporation TO the point
where the actual farmer can get as
sistance.
One of the principal features al
lows the war finance corporation 10
purchase from banks and trust COM
panies notes or bills of exchange, OF
other instruments of indebtedness
which are secured by chattel mort
cages. warehouse receipts. bills OF
lading or instrument which secures a
marketable title TO agricultural prod
ucIs.
This provision. Mr. Livingston be-
lieyes. will allow the farmer to Sc
cure bank credits on securities which
can be passed ON TO the war france
corporation, and allow the farmer TO
carry his product up to a time. whers
he can sell to a better advantage, m
stead. of forcing him 10 liquidase,
when the market is adverse.
Another amendment allows the
war finance corporation to advance
money TO banks and trust companies
which have-adEanced money forsagri-
cultural purposes. this to reIi eve the
pressure on these banks and allow
them to have an opportunity IN ease
up on the agricultural loans they
have maturing.
The whole situation. says Mr.. Liv-
ingston. appears TO be showins up
better for the actual farmesr ard
they viii no doubt soon be able 20
secure credits where the same are
practically impossible just at the
present time. and TO carry their agri-
cultural products instead of being
forced to place them on the market
regardless of conditions.

will not be complicated in any way
with the Versailles pact. as has been
suggested.
The president will inform the sen
ate of the details of the treaty ar an
early date. From what is already
known of the contents of the pact, il
is generally believed that lit will
arouse no opposition from the ire
concilabl and il is considered
more than likely that it will receive
their hearty support. The only oppo-
sition is likely 10 come from former
adherents of the league of nations,
who will recognize in the new treaty
the final scrapping on the Versailles
covenant.
Indications are that the American
troops now in Germany will be kept
there until the new treaty is rati-
fled.
