Olive oil itself is splendid for the

Three things, olive oil, wine and

IMPRESSIVE CHURCH
CEREMONIES TODAY
FATHER CLARENCE 1. GARRY
CELEBRATES FIRST MASS AT
ST. THOMAS.

AT 10 o'clock this morning, in the
presence of a gathering which filled
st. Thomas church to it's capacity,
Father Clarence l. Garry celebrated
his first mass. He was assisted by
Father Flynn, who acted as assist
ant priest and Fathers Conley and
Roche, who performed the duties Of
deacon and sub-deacon, respectively.
The ceremonies carried an air of eX-
treme impressiveness and pathos in
view of the fact that Father Flynn,
on the fortieth anniversary of his
ordination, was able to participate in
the celebration of the first mass Of
Father Garry, the third young man
to enter the priesthood from this
parish. In a short but touching ser
mon, Father Flynn emphasized the
great responsibilities which rest up
on the shoulders of a young man
entering the priesthood and also eX-
pressed his unsurmOuntable joy in
the fact that three young men whom
he baptized have not hesitated in as
suming these responsibilities.
Among the visiting priests who
were present at the mass this morn
ing were Fathers Stecher of Howard,
Lahecka of De Smet. Duffey of
Woonsocket, Auer of Artesian, Ryan
of Parker. Lennon of Mobridge, Bir-
kel of of Huntimer, Kielty of Cole
man, Hoerner, O'Connor and Conley
of Sioux Falls. Mr.. Ives Of Boone,
Ia, and Mr. McKenna /, siopx City
who are stundents in s. sem
mary, and Michael Roche Ca this
city, who is a student in st. John
seminary at Collegeville, Mimi, Llso
assisted in the" mass. Among the
out of town relatives of Father Garry
who were present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. c. E. Carney of Lawton, Okla,
]. d. Neville of St. Paul and Mr.. and
Mrs. J. j. McGrane Of Sioux City.
Immediately following the mass,
the Ladies Altar society served an
elaborate banquet to Fathers Flynn
and Garry, Father Garry's relatives
and the visiting priests, and this aft
ernoon the members Of the congrega-
ton extended their congratulations
at a reception held in the high school
auditorium.

PRESENT STATUSOF
CROPS IN STATE
SECTIONS NEED RAIN-GRASS-
HOPPERS DO LITTLE DAMAGE
LARGE HAY CROP BEING
CUT.

Pierre, June 29-June has not
been just what is desired by small
grain farmers in some sections of
the state
Rains have been local in charac-
ter, and while some sections have
been favored and the promises of
May have continued, in other sections
the showers have been light and the
heat of the month is beginning to
show it's effect upon the small grain,
but has not affected corn, as it is
deeper rooted and needs hot weather
to develop.
In some sections the outlook de-
pends upon rainfall within few
days to prevent disaster to small
grain. but this is local in its appli-
cation, as many sections have secur-
ed the showers which have kept up
the earlier promise of the year.
While the weather has not been
favorable in the sections where the
showers were light for small grain,
it has been ideal for alfalfa harvest
ing and the hay has been placed in
the stack without wetting, and as
the earlier rains made an excellent
crop, this now is out of the way.
Grasshoppers are bothering in a
few sections, but the campaigns or
poisoning are beginning to show ef-
fects, and the complaint Is not as
general as it was a few years ago.
Cutting of prairie hay has COM
menced with a good crop, and while
there will not be as much hay out
this year as was put in stack last
year the crop being gathered is in
excellent shape.

DOCTORS URGED To
FIGHT DRY LAW
HEAD OF ALLIED MEDICAL AS
ISOLATION OF AMERICA AP-
PEALS TO FRATERNITY FOR
ACTION.

Atlantic City, N. D., June 2g.-The
doctors of the country were called
upon today to unite in an effort to
repeal the Volstead act by DR.. Wal
lace Fritz, of Philadelphia. president
of the Allied Medical association of
America in an address at the annual
convention of the organization. He
declared the prohibition law was a
curse and made more drunkards than
did the old laws.
The precedent established by the
FOlstead act" he said, restricts
medical practice and if the profess
sion values it's therapeutic liberty, it
must meet it with a protest that will
command attention. The medical
profession should not permit itself
to be placed in a position before the
whole world as liquor statesmen and
drug stores as saloons.
From general observation the
law has been a curse to our country.
1t has taken away pure liquor and
beer and has substituted poison and
deleterious liquors. 1t is causing
gambling and immortality in the
homes. 1t is causing death after
death of the innocent public. 1t is
causing blindness by the score Are
the physicians going TO make a stand
for the good of the public health or
are We going to sit quietly and suck
our thumbs? We must decide which
is the greater evil from a medical
standpoint: Prohibition or home
brew"

CROP COsTSARE
ACUTE PROBLEM
FARMERS STILL SUFFER FROM
HEAVY LOSSES DUE TO LAST
YEARS PRICES.

Huron, June 29.-Farm produc-
tion costs in 1921, from rough ap-
ordinations now available, are
from so to 100 per cent above pres
ent farm prices, in spite of the fact
that these costs are considerably be
10 wthose of last year This state
ment is made by NJ R. Benedict, sec
retary Of the South Dakota farm bu-
reau federation. Mr. Benedict says:
while it is too early to make any
accurate estimate of production costs
For this year, as this will depend
evident that the cost of growing
corn and marketing will range from
so to rs cents per bushel or higher
throughout most of South Dakota
this year This is more than twice
the present price received by the
farmer.
Farmers are still suffering from
the heavy losses due to last years
high production costs and low prices.
This process of selling products at
one-fourth to one-half their produc
tion costs cannot go on indefinitely,
and unless means can be found
whereby farmers can secure at least
average production costs, many far
mers will be forced into bankruptcy
this coming year.
only very good yields can bring
the cost of wheat production down
to 50 per bushel this year. Barley
and hay will both cost, even at the
present lower wages for farm labor,
more than the present prices of these
products.
I'VE believe that il is better for
the farmer to have knowledge of ap-
proximate costs early in the season
or even at planting time in order
that he may base his actions on these
probable costs than to have detailed
costs after the crop has left his
hands.
"It will require time and careful
development of marketing machin-
cry before farmers can make sure of
securing a profit over production
costs as an average over a period Of
years.
