PRISONERS START TODAY TODD
 HIGHWAY WORK

Economy, with capital "E" has been written into the administra- tion of affairs at the county jail by Sheriff John Montgomery. His latest move to aid tax payers of Maricopa county is establish ment of a county chain gang. to be used in highway improvement work.
 It was nearly four years ago that the chain gang was abandoned in Maricopa county. At that time many escapes from county road camps made abandonment of the plan advisable, it was explained.
 But a new plan has been evolved. Prisoners are taken from their cells each morning and returned each evening. County road camps no longer exist under the plan out lined by Sheriff Montgomery. By abolshing the camps he said he hopes to minimize escapes and in- cidentally reduce expense. Prison CTS will be fed at the jail before de- parture each morning and upon their return at night. This will eliminate hire of cooks and extra guards. Twelve men are slated for the first gang, which will be taken from the county jail this morning. For these 12 the county will provide three guards. Only regular county pris- oners will be used in the work and men who by their acts in the jail have shown themselves trustworthy, Sheriff Montgomery said.
 Others will be added to the gang | from time to time, he said, as the number of "elgibless' increases Ad- | ditional guards will be employed | whenever necessity demands. A | county highway truck will take the | prisoners from the jail to the scene 1 of activities and back again each day.
 For the next few days or weeks the | gang will be employed on highway 1 improvement work. All blind cor 1 ners are to be eliminated under the l plans worked out by the county
 highway commission and the boaro
 of supervisors, and all such work is
 to be done by the chain gang from
 the county jail.
 Later other improvement worl
 will be started such as clearing away brush along the highways and making improvements on roads not cover ed in the county highway plan- The saving to be effected through , this plan, it was explained will b'
 approximately s20 day. Eacl
 member of the chain gang will b , worth at least $3 a day to the county l it was said. When there are IF il : the gang the total value of their la
 bor will amount to s36. per day. Ex l penses incurred in handling tn t gang will not exceed SIP a day, in : cluding salary for guards, cost o l transportation and meals, 1t is es
 timated.

DAKOTA CROP
OUTLOOK GOOD
FARMERS EXPECT TO ESCAPE
RUST AND INSECTS THIS
SEASON

Sioux Falls, April Crop ex-
perts are specializing on the matter
of what effect the mild weather will
have on the crops to be raised in
South Dakota this year.
They quite generally agree that
this should not be a rust year, bas-
ing this belief on the fact that there
seldom have been three rust years
in succession. Some of the experts
believe that the small amount of
snow during the last winter has af-
forded small protection for insect
pests and that the winter was a
hard one for them, the frequent
thawing and freezing of the ground
serving to weaken the eggs of insects
laid near the surface of the ground.
If this theory proves correct, the
coming crop in South Dakota will be
relieved to some extent of insect
pests and have all the better chance
Of coming through in good condition.
Some authorities claim the mild win
ter has been more favorable to in
sect pests than otherwise. If this is
the correct view farmers will have to
make a systematic fight against in
sect pests in order to prevent severe
losses.
1t is the general opinion of the
experts that the crop acreage in
South Dakota this year. notwith-
standing the present low price of
farm products. will be about the
same as that Of last year. Corn and
wheat will be the two principal
crops raised in the state this year,
as they have been in the past. The
durum wheat acreage especially will
be large. This variety of wheat has
become a favorite of farmers of
South Dakota because of it's rust re-
sisting qualities. 1t also can with
stand drouth better than other vari-
eties of wheat.

SEEK HOMES IN
SUNSHINE STATE
STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU
RECEIVES MANY LETTERS
or INQUIRY

Pierre, April Ito the INITIATED
a single days mail received by the
South Dakota immigration depart
ment gives the impression of a cata-
logue of all mankind. Beside letters
of inquiry from almost every state in
this country. many foreign countries
are represented in a single mail.
European agricultural countries are
generally in the majority with Ger
many and the Scandinavian states
pr5domiAating.
In nearly ali cases the writer's are
seeking information regarding the
possibilities offered them in free
America and particularly in South
Dakota. Usually the inquiries are
land owners or former land owners
in their native country, with suffi-
cient money to pay their transporta-
ton and establish themselves here.
A large percentage of these letters
are written by people who are appar-
emily well educated and who have a
surprising knowledge of American
ceived which plainly shows the writ
er is of the less desirable class. Lit
tie or no attention Is paid to that
type of letter, but to the other type
the educated and those with money
letter of reply is promptly dis
patched written in the same langu-
age as the inquiry.
Sometimes this is German, some
times Scandinavian, but in most
cases in English. With the letter
goes a printed booklet which clearly
explains what this state offers to the
industrious immigrant who will ap-
ply himself. The state prints these
booklets in six different languages.
A recently received letter dated
February %, from H. Boyben, Au-
gustenberg, Denmark, after express
ing thanks for literature previously
sent by the department and recount
ing the difficulty the writer is ex-
periencing in selling his farm in that
country contains:
my present opinion is to buy land
in county with low priced land in
a direction that the railroad Is sup
posed to come to within a short time,
but this opinion may after l see how
it is.
"The immigration bill is not very
favorable to emigrants and it is ne
cesary' to make haste, as otherwise
the limited number for each coun-
try may be taken up, before / can
come out. If the United States
closes it's doors, immigrants may and
will 60 to Canada, which by no
means can be favorable for the Unit
ed States as most people who immi-
crate at present are of the Betters,
who by incessant labor and industry
will make them independent in farm
ing"

WILL FURNISH
CORNER STONE
HARDING'S CHURCH TO HELP
CHALK BUTTE, SOUTH
DAKOTA

Sioux Falls, April 1.-When the
Butte, out on the plains of western
South Dakota is dedicated this year,
it will be with peculiar significance
to which national interest attaches
Not that the nation is so vitality in
terested in the religion of the folks
out in South Dakota but when the
men of President Warren G.. Hard
ing's own church in Marion, Ohio,
can be persuaded to donate the cor
ner-stone it is of more than passing
note.
Something like year and a half
ago John w. Wynn of Ohio, a ulls-
sionary for the Baptist church work
ing under the South Dakota conven-
ton of which DR.. S. p. Shaw of
Sioux Falls is superintendent, came
to this state. He has been working
through the western part of the state
on the outskirts of the Black Hills
region. Already he has built the
Baptist church at Clough and is now
erecting another. the one at Chalk
Butte in the White Owl district. It
takes work out on the prairies where
the homes are scattered over vast
reaches of territory and the mission
ary rides from shack to ranch ex-
horting and ministering to their
wants. There he Is known as the
Trail Blazer as he. covers his terri
tory and counts his friends by the
number of his acquaintance.
Chalk Butte is barely a settle
ment ia eMade county. 1t 10 60
miles from railroad but it has Its
pride of community and folks out
there are just as human as the rest
of the world in enjoying bit of
praise for doing things. So if you
hear more about this new Baptist
church in which the mems class in
the Marion, o., Baptist church are
furnishing the cornerstone, it is just
because Chalk Butte believes in her
aiding its worth and is grateful to the
stalwart Ohioans from the Harding
place of worship, who have made pos
sible this plan.

Pierre, April 1.-Sand lot games
and baseball games either played by
professionals or amateurs, where no
admission fee is charged, will not

ban, according to the announcement
made today by Attorney General By
ron S. Payne. Beyond making this
single statement the attorney general
refused to commen regarding the
statewide law enforcement campaign
which he has started.

have more to say about that later
Press reports from Huron" Mr..
Payne continued, "at the time of the
states attorneys meetings on March
25, to the effect that 1 had directed
the rigid enforcement of all so-called
Sunday blue laws have led to such
confusion as to what 1 did recon-
mend"
To clear up this confusion, the at
torney general has prepared the fol-
lowing statement ION the things

"2. The enforcement of the law

"3. The enforcement of the law

tion to determine the extent to which

Section 1884 of the revised code
was passed by the legislature of 1913
