STATE FAIR
At HURON OPENS
Exhibits IN PLACE-OFFlCERS
PREDICT BIGGEST CROWDS
IN HISTORY.

Huron, Sept. 1.-THE state fair
grounds are presenting scene of
great activity, exhibitors getting in
their exhibits for the big crowds eX-
pected. Practically every bit of
available space has been taken up in
the live stock barns, and the stock
has been arriving for several days,
giving promise of by far the best eX-
hibition of horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep ever seen here.
The exhibits in the women's build
ing are practically all in place and
much of the judging has been done,
while the exhibits in the dairy, ag-
ricultural, horticultural, machinery
hall and Beadle county buildings are
arriving and being put in place. The
agricultural building will prove the
biggest attraction this year it has
ever been, as will also the opultry
building.
NJ. M. Guhin of the state depart
ment of public instruction has ar
rived and is getting the educational
building in shape, although the ex-
hibits are slow in arriving for this
display owing TO train and freight
service. From the entries received,
however, Mr. Guhin anticipates the
best and most comprehensive exhib-
1t ever this year.
Race horses for the four days
speed programs have about all ar
rived and include some of the fast
est turf animals i'm the entire coun-
try, giving promise of some stiff
competition and fast time in the
eight big races scheduled for the
first four days of the fair.
Weather conditions per itting the
officers of the fair look .f the big
gest crowds in history this ye"r, and
know that they will have the best
fair TO give the visitors.

Plans to Develop
National Guard

Washington, d. c., Sept. IL
Enunciation of policy regarding
development of the national guard
and reference to suggestions receiv-
ed at the war department for re-
duction in authorized strength from
427, 200 men to 250,000 was made
today by Secretary Weeks, who de-
clared that the healthy and normal
growth of the national guard" had
not been handicapped as a result OF
diminishing appropriations by con-
gress. In order to lay safe and
development of the national guard
Secretary Weeks said he has issued
call for a special commission, g
large majority of whose members
would be national guard officials, tt
make a comprehensive study of ma
tional guard problems in conjunc
tion with the militia bureau of the
war department.
At the same time Mr.. Weeks call
ed attention to the existing law fix
ing 500 guardsmen as the quota o.
1.-THE states for each member of con
gress. Such states as Delaware ant
Nevada, it was said, were allotted
| quotas out of all proportion to thei
populations and imposed hardship
of maintenance of guard units in ex
cess of those allotted to states o
greater domain and residents.

DELAYING coal.
FOR NORTHWEST
DULUTH AND SUPERIOR DoCNSs
NOT RECEIVING THEIR SHARE
LAKE ERR ESHIPMENTS.

st. Paul, Sept. 11-Duluth and
Superior docks are not receiving
their just proportions of the coal
being shipped from Lake Erie ports
C. P. White, federal fuel distributor
for the northwest declared today.
Mr.. White charged that the twin
ports are receiving only approXi-
mately 20 per eent of the lake coal
whereas rs per cent is their just
share of the shipment.
In one report received from Cleye-
land it was shown that out of 2S
bottoms carryin gcoal from Lake
Erie ports from September 2 to Sep
tember A, inclusive only five were
destined for the Head of the Lakes.
Both the Lake Michigan ports and
the Canadian ports received a larg-
er share of this coal than did the
northwest.
Reports reaching us within the
past few days indicate also a reluct-
ance on the part of the larger buy
ers in this territory in the matter OF
their purchases of cbal," Mr.. White
said. Goal reaching Lake Erie
ports is being diverted to Canadian
and Lake Michigan territory and oil
the amount loaded at the mines and
received. at Lake Erie loading ports
within the last week, the tonnage ac-
tually floated for the Head of tbs
Lakes for distribution within the
northwestern territory is away Short
of the contemplated allotment. be
lieve that continued procrastinatior
on the part of the buyers here is
most likely to accentuate this condi
| ton"
The coal authorities are agreed
| that there exists virtual buyers
strike which is preventing the doci
operators from going into the mar
ket and competing against CANADIAN
and Lake Michigan ports for tn
coal. AS long as this condition ex
lists, it is said, the proportion of lak'
coal reaching Lake Superior port
will be very small.
The reason given by the dock op
orators for failin gte compete for tn
| coal is that after contracting 10
large quantities at high prices pro
posed legislation might prevent tn
sale of the coal and cause them t.
suffer large losses.

To A|VWH|LATE
WILD ANIMALS
WILL REDUCE LOSSES TO FARM
ERS BY WILD ANIMAL DEL
RELATIONS.

Huron, Sept. 11-That farm loss
es from predatory animals are not
confined wholly to the western part
of the state, but that eastern South
Dakota farmers need protection also
is the conclusion of the state farm
bureau federation here after receit-
ing a report from Louis KnowltS,
predatory animal inspector for the
United States department of agrl-
culture at Rapid City.
IN a letter to George A. Starring,
farm bureau secretary, Mr.. Knowles
says that early returns from a sur
vey in the eastern part of the state
shows farm losses as high as $50
and many losses running from l3.
$24 and $120 and up.
Sheep. calves, chickens and tur~
keys are the principal items lost
from wild animals depredations.
More than half the farms which filed
reports thus far indicate losses. Tie
eneral average OF all reports receiy-
ed to date show a loss of $104.72.
Mr.. Knowls is getting the facts
from hundreds of individual farms
by letter, giving each farmer a card
on which to report losses. Farmers
who have received such requests for
information will help along the work
of determination of destructive wild
animals il they will make prompt re-
port, Mr.. Knowles says, in discuss
ing the work. 1t is hoped practical
ly every farmer who has suffered
losses will make a detailed report TO
the department in charge of the
work
The bureau of biology survey OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture last year made a district of
South Dakota for its work of carry
ing on warfare against the predatory
animals of this state
An inspector has been placed in
charge of the work, with headquar-
ters at Rapid City. The campaign
of the bureau against stock killers
are now confined to government
lands, such as national forests, In
