SUPER|NTt|VDENTS
APPOINT DEPUTIES
RULING ATTORNEY GENERALS
OFFICE APPLIES WHEN HAE-
ING FIFTY OR MORE
SCHOOLS.

Pierre, Aug. 23.-County superin-
tendents having so or more schools
under their direction must appoint
a permanent office deputy to look
after the distribution of teXt books,
according TO a recent opinion written
by Assistant Attorney General Il. ID.
Roberts. The opinion was The result
of an inquiry from ID. X. Loucks,
states attorney, of Codington coun-
ty, where the county superintendent
has refused to make his appointment,
despite the fact that the county COM
missioners have authorized the pay
ment of $50 a month for such dep
uty.
Chapter 172 of the laws of 1919
provides that the conuty superin-
tendent in a county having so or
more schools shall be entitled to ap-
point a deputy" says Mr.. Roberts.
In my opinion the legislature, by
the enactment of chapter 213 of the
laws of 1921 intended that a county
superintendent of schools should
take over the custody of text books
for distribution, where the law au-
thorizes the appointment of an office
deputy and is not dependent upon an
actual appointment being made.
IF this construction We're not
given to this statute. We have a
rather anomalous situation. L do
not believe a county superintendent
can defeat the intent of this statute
by refusing TO make an appointment
of a deputy. A different cnoclusion
might be reached if it were necessary
to secure authority from the board
of county commissioners to appoint
a deputy; in such instance the ap-
pointment of a person to fill such
position would not be entirely under
the control of the superintendent of
schools.
"If a contrary view were taken VI
this law, upon the resignation OF
deputy, it would be necessary that
the county auditor take over the
books for distribution. 1t does not
seem reasonable that the legislature
intended that there should be such
uncertainty as to the custody OF the
text books"

THE OLDEST
PHARMACIST
L. c. BENT, SECRETARY OF THE
SOUTH DAKOTA ORGANIZA-
TION.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 23.-E. C. Bent
of Dell Rapids, reelected secretary
of the state Pharmaceutical associa-
tion is believed to be the Oldest ac-
tive druggist in South Dakota.
Although much data is lost in the
years that have passed since the first
druggist opened his little sundry and
drug store in the Black Hills, faint
recollections came back to Mr.. Bent
today how he had started such a
business in the city of Deadwood As
years ago. Times then were not
progressive in the sense of the term
as it applies today. Business estab-
lishments were not numerous, and
his drug line was handled together
with the merchandising of other
goods and wares.
Coming to Deadwood from Wyom-
ing, Mr.. Bent spent Il years there.
later moving to Sioux Falls, where
he was actively engaged in the drug
business for about four years. Twen-
ty-nine years ago he moved to Dell
Rapids, about 20 miles north Of
Sioux Falls, where he has been in
business since.
Mr.. Bent is one of the oldest i'm
the drug business, which he cheer
fully admits, but when seen today,
was modestly saying There may be
others, and there have been others
longer in the business than l.
Il recall that L. T. Duning of
Sioux Falls, now deceased, was in
the drug business As years-a dis
tinct record. A H. Sites, another
Sioux Falls druggist served the pro-
fession faithfully for two score of
years. But Mr.. Sites has recently
sold out his business, which may
make me the oldest now"
Mr.. Bent has been secretary of the
state pharmaceutical association for
"a years and is Just starting his
twenty-fifth. He was elected to the
office at a convention held in Sioux
Falls in 1897 and his record shows
that he served continuously since.

ed some little time to make the nee
essary arrangements.
However, these have ali been at
tended to, abstracts are being prepar-
ed, and as soon as the land on which
the springs are located is transferred
to the city, the bonds will be sold,
and bids will be asked for construct
ing the pipe line, and other structures
necessary to insure the people of
Belle Fourche an inexhaustible sup
ply of pure, soft spring water.
A chemical test of the water shows
it to be So per cent pure. The
springs are 313 feet higher than the
present storage reservoir on Sun
dance hill in this city, so there will
be sufficient pressure to place the
water where it is needed without the
use of pumps.

DRASTIC WAR
ON THE REDS
UNCLE SAM Az IKE TO GROW
ING ANAR ST PERIL.

New York, Al 23.-William j.
Burns, new director of the bureau of
investigation of the department of
justice, interviewed at Scarborough
today, said one of his first steps will
be the organization of a central bu-
reau of identification, where records
of all dangerous criminals will be
assembled for the information of
government investigators and the po-
lice force of the country.
Extradition of criminals and their
subsequent trial in states other than
in which they are arrested, away
from all local pull" or Influence,
would be materially aided by the
proposed identification bureau. In
particular this bureau would enable
the government to keep close tab on
bolshevists and other avowed enc
mics of the government. Presum-
ably the federal bureau would be in
close touch with the national police
forces of European countries and the
Identification and tracing of desper-
ate criminals would be greatly facil-
itated.
1t is regarded as certain that gov
ernment agencies are close on the
heels of the anarchists who arranged
the bomb explosion in Wall street,
which killed thirty-nine innocent per-
sons. Closer espionage will be OBJ
served in connection with the COM
munists who are undoubtedly max
ing many converts in the United
States, and getting their agents In
positions where they can do much
harm, unless their claws and teeth
are pulled.
One pleasing thing about the doc
trine of violence preached by the COM
munists, anarchists, /. w. W., and
other poisonous elements, is the fact
that up to the present time they have
defeated their own murderous ends
by fighting among themselves. Out
of these battles there always emerge
some soreheads, from whom the ag-
ents of the department of justice are
able to get valuable information.

Escapes Death From
Man-Eating III o g s

Mitchell, Aug. "a Henderson
May, a farmer living southwest OF
Mt. Vernon, had narrow escape
from being killed by the hogs on his
farm when he stumbled and fell in
the hog yard and was knocked un-
conscious so that he was left lying
in the yard.
The hogs trampled over Mr.. Mays
body and had bruised ii considerably
when he revived little and realized
that he was in danger of being eaten
by the animals. He managed TO
crawl into the barn out of the reach
of the hogs, and again lost conscious
ness.
He was not missed until noon, sew
eral hours later, and when members
of the family went to search for him
they found him still unconscious on
the floor of the barn.

NEW PROCEDURE
IN LAWSUITS
SMALL CLAIMS COURT HAS ITS
RULES FIXED.

Pierre, Aug. 23.-Under the pro-
visions of the act creating courts of
small claims in this state the su-
preme court has promulgated rules
of procedure in such courts. The
new law goes into effect January /,
1922, and the court was instructed
under the law to promulgate rules
before the 1st of September.
Under the new law and the rules
when a claimant, whose claim does
not exceed $50, desires relief he may
go before a justice of the peace, a
police court, a municipal court, or
a county court, and present his
claim, by the payment of a fee of 81,
and the necessary fee to register a
notice to the defendant. The court
sets a date of hearing not less than
five days from the date of the filing
of the claim, and gives notice to the
defendant, who must not less than
two days prior to the date of hearing
either file any counter claim he may
desire to set up, outline his defense,
or if he admits the claim and desires
time to pay, so file his notice. In
addition to either of these he must.

ment by default Costs are fixed by
law. and consist of fee for filing the
notice of claim, notice fee, witness

may serve its own subpoenas, and the
court must issue them without cost.
When the matter comes on Tor
bearing the court is required to pro-
ceed informally TO secure the COM
plete facts, and render its decision
accordingly Either side to the con-
traversy can ask for removal or trial
by jury, and after payment OF the
fee for such entry can ask the re-

Dublin, Aug. 23.-The Sim Fem

local organizations throughout Ire
land. which has been forbidden by
the British government, met here TO-

British peace offer. There was no
interference with the gathering on
the part of the military authorities.
The secret of a message from the
highest authorities OK the Roman
Catholic church delivered to Presi-
dent De Valera yesterday by the
Lord Bishop of Dromore, was Jeal-
ously guarded in inner Sinn Fem

had already determined upon reply
but that Dali Eiremann was being

CANADA OASIS To
Be TOURIST MECCA
NORTH AMERICAN DESERT OF
HOOCH RELIEVED BY MODI-
FTCATION LAW OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.

Vancouver, B. c., Aug. 23.-Hav-
ing a monopoly of fortified moisture
from the Pacific to the st. Law
renee, and from Mexico to the Yu-
kon, the government of British Co
lumbia, which under the new mod
GRAFTON act, will open up as sole pur-
veyor of everything from beer to
champagne in the province, May I
next, proposes that tourists coming
to this alcoholic oasis from surround
ing desert areas TO refresh them
selves shall pay for the privilete and
then pay some more.
~ To begin with, the government
has no intention of allowing amp re-
production, by tourists or anybody
else, of the old brass footrail condi-
tions. The resident must pay IS a
year for a permit to buy liquor at
for six months if he buys it any
where else. This latter condition al
so applies to the tourist, but his per
nit, which costs IS also, is good for
a fortnight only.
Having bought his package, the
purchaser must take it away, outside
and not inside his person.. If resi-
dent, he goes home with the precious
cargo. If a tourist, he may take it
TO his hotel room. The only persons
who are allowe dto have liquor in
hotel rooms are bona fide registered
guests. The wanderer who parks his
car out in the suburbs and camps IN
it must do without liquid sustenance
stronger than coffee. Liquor cannot
be consumed in a public place, and
according to the act, any place 10
which an automobile may go, except
a private garage, is a public place.
Festive tourists have hitherto
found that even under the prohibition
law the beer supplied by the near
beer bars was of a distinctly cheering g
quality. Residents had already
found it out and near beer bars have
flourished accordingly. All that is
about to disappear. Near beer has
