From the Record:
Last Monday morning Jerome
Green, Frank Rochel and a third
man, whose identy our reporter was
unable to learn. were returning from
Lake Benton. and in attempting to
pass a car were forced into the ditch,
o~verturning their car, a roadster. Two
of the men were rendered unconsci-
Gus and one of them was pinned
under the car. All three were picked
up by Sheriff Nolan, who was on his
way to Lake Benton, in search of a
car. which had been stolen from in
front Of a church in Brookings that
night. The men were given medical
aid here and Jerome Green, the only
one of the three who was found in
need of further medical attention was
taken TO the Wayside Inn, where at
the time of going to press. he is still
confined to his bed, but is recovering
nicely.
Prof. Carl Christensen showed that
he still had his college boys we'll in
hand last Thursday evening when he
directed the concer by the State
College Military Band. A fair sized
audience was on hand to enjoy the
renditions. a larger audience was
lacking, no doubt, due to the fact
that arrangements were completed
after last weeks Record was printed,
thereby curtailing a large share of
the advertising. However, those pres
ent heard one of the pest musical
feaStS that has yet been presented
in the city. A band is always more
or less popular, but "Christy's Band"
has them all knocked cold" when it
m to delivering the goods"
The boys certainly handled the
heavier numbers in first class order
and when they came to the marches
and lighter numbers. they let loose
with a vim. The soloists made a
very favorable impression and each
one did his part in a very creditable
manner. The personnel Of the band
made the trip from Brookings via
auto on the afternoon OF the concert
and consumed a large quantity OF
South Dakota soil due to the high
wind prevailing from the south. 1t
was apparent during the first couple
of numbers, but when all the dust had
been blown out of their horns and
throats you could never have told
that they had passed through a dust
storm. The audience warmed up to
the band in a very decided manner
as the oncer progressed and it was
with regret that they stood up for
the Star Spangled Banner" at the
conclusion of the performance.

ST. PAUL STOCK MARKET

The weeks cattle trade was fea-
tured by the arrival Of the best load
of fat beeves that have been here this
year if not for several years. These
were exceptionally well bred and
well fattened ShorthOrn grades. The
Is head averaging 11i5 pounds
brought $S.75 from a packer. A fair
showing of other sales of best fat
steers and steers and heifers mixed
of the lighter weights have been
made at 1925 up to $8.75, with bulk
of dry fed fat beeves at the close
1928 to So, relatively few as low as
81 or less. Best offerings Of fat COWS
and heifers of the lighter weights
sold from $6.25 up to around SO, with
bulk of butcher she stock at "a to Sc.
Gamers and cutters brought $2.75 to
1915, feeding COWS 1926 to $4.25.
Bologna bulls sold at $8.25 TO $S.75,
a few up to SO and 1925. Seconds
brought $3.50 to Sc. Good and choice
stockers and feeders sold readily at
1913 to $3.50, bulk of common and
medium grades $3.50 to $3.50. Cattle
prices are widening at present, the
better grades selling strong and work
ing higher, with the poorer grades
slow sale at weak prices and the
tendency lower.
In spite of a run of over 10000 hogs
here this week or the heaviest run
since early in March, and a supply Of
over half a million hogs at seven
large markets this week, the hog mar
ket has given a good account of itself,
closing steady to Toe lower than a
week ago. Bulk of better grades at
the close this week $10.10 to $10.35,
heavy packers around 50 to $3.50,
good pigs $11.
A firm undertone has been noted
in sheep this week, closing prices be-
ing steady to 25c or more higher.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

During the past week the weather
in Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Montana has been cool
and cloudy, with scattered rains. The
outlook for good small grain crops
is very promising. The districts that
have suffered severely from drought
for several years past, have been
favored with abundant moisture this
season. In some places where the
ground is flat or low the excessive
moisture has damaged the early sown
grain. Part Of this has been reseed-
ed and the amount of damage will
make but little change in the final
results.
Parts of western North Dakota and
eastern Montana hat have suffered
severely from grasshoppers during
tht past two years, appear to be
quite free Of them at present. The
season has been backward in Mon
tana, but most of the seeding has
now been accomplished. The ground,
rs a rule, is in fine condition and the
outlook is promising. In the southern
half of the territory, wheat, oats and
barley have a good color and a heavy
stand. In parts of Minnesota and
South Dakota the rye crop is headed
out, and has a fine appearance.
The planting of corn has been con
siderably delayed and there is still a
small amount to be done in the south
ern districts. Some of the early
planted corn in Minnesota and South
Dakota is nov above the ground. In
northern Minnesota and North Da
kota, corn will be late, but as most
of it is used for local feeding pur
poses, with favorable weather there
is plenty of time to produce a normal
crop. The pastures are n good con
dition and should produce an in
creased amount of feed. A consid
cradle increase in the potato acre
age is reported. There are a number
Of conditions bearing on the flax sit
uation. Only a small amount of new
ground is being broken. Some Of the
districts where early grain was dam
aged by excessive moisture, may have
additional flax sown, providing thu
seed a be obtained. In other places
very little flax seeding is contem
plated.

unable to get sufficient evidence to
hold him. He had his preliminary

Wha I Has Right Of Way?

Pedestrians who contest with automobiles for
the right Of way across the street may SYM
pathize with the railroad train which also appears
to be fair prey for mad-cap motorists. Listen
10 this tale of woe from the pen of Vice Presi-
dent Greer Of the Milwaukee railroad:
A freight train was standing at South
Dakota station taking water when an auto
ran into the side of car near the rear of the
train. A way freight was standing at sta
ton in Iowa when an auto was driven into it
at a fast clip. A freight train was pulling
slowly out of an Indiana depot when an auto
mobile was driven into the sixth car from the
caboose with sufficient force to kill the driver
and injure several others.
Mr.. Greer cities these cases as examples to
indicate that the railroad train is not always the
aggressor and that not always is the motorist de-
uded by the belief that he can beat ahead" Of
the train. He remarks: 1T is noticeable that
the smaller cars are the most pugnacious."
At that, the train has an advantage over the
pedestrian. Usually, when the motor car eat

For the Good of the Service

For the good Of the service" is phrase not
necessarily conclusive or convincing when given
as reason for dismissing an individual from,
public Office. 1t may be a true and correct state
ment OF facts, abundantly supported, and it may
be smoke screen behind which it is sought to
hide bit of selfish purpose and ugly politics.
Each case in which the statement is employed
must stand alone, because it all depends on who
decided it was for the good of the service and
the upstanding reason or sinister purpose prompt
ing the decision.
Recently the superintendent and more than
a score OF heads OF departments in the bureau
OF engraving were given a summary dismissal
tor the good of the service" Senators and rep
resentatives became interested quickly, for the
very real reason that group of lawmakers helped
most OF the men in federal service get their posi-
tlons. Some senators love to gossip and nvesti-
gate and probe and find fault and such senator's
are busy now trying to find out lot Of things
that really are none of their business.
One story out of Washington carries posi-
BILE explanation for the wholesale dismissal Of Of
fcals It says the higher officials in the bureau
OF engraving had little inside ring that secured
dismissal of all persons not wanted, then secured
appointment or promotion for the men in favor
The little ring, not at all new in departmental
life was having fine time with the power it
had arrogated. It is entirely probable that such
conditions existed. 1t is humanity possible and
has happened before many times. Doubtless
there are other departments in which little ring
is in control, Furnishing those who incur enm1ity
and promoting those who win favor The little
ring in congress is trying to run legislation and

places would try It'll There is no question that

at times in mercantile and industrial life, has

concern if the senate seeks some field of useful

Tariff Bill in the Senate.

Very soon the country will be asked 10 attend
the senatorial discussion oi the tariff measure
Just introduced by Senator MeCumber, chairman
OF the finance committee. Many changes have
been made in the Fordney bill as passed by the
house, the schedules being fixed at higher points
on most articles covered and lower on others.
Chief OF the differences is that the senate meas
ure accepts the foreign basis for valuation, while
Chairman Fordney OF the house committee is
still insistent on the so-called American" valua-
tom
That the bill will not be passed until after
lengthy and earnest consideration is very clear.
bloc" divisions will be accentuated, for the bill
contains provisions violently opposed by certain
groups OF the Atlantic coast manufacturers when
hearings were being had before the ways and
means committee Of the house. Chief among
these was the duty on hides, to which the leather
and shoe men raised objections. At that time it
was an ad valorem duty that was imposed, now
it is specific. To Offset this, both specific and
ad valorcm imposs are laid Oh leather and shoes,
giving the manufacturers all they wanted, save
free raw material.
The farm bloc is placated by schedule
that covers everything that comes from field,
pasture or orchard dairy or berry patch. This
is novelty, and undoubtedly is recognition of
certain untoward world conditions that must be
met. We may look for elaborate and extended
discussion OF this, outdoing, perhaps, the hub
bub occasioned few years ago when Schedule
of the Nelson-Dingley bill aroused such a
furore.
One thing must be kept plainly in view at all
times. The traditional policy of the republican
party is tariff for protection, rather than for rev.
cnue, policy diametrically opposite that of the
democratic party Exigencies of the national
treasury drove Mr.. Wilson, while president, from
his free trade position, and he even recommended
some changes in the Underwood tariff to afford
protection to American industry, as well as to
increase the revenues Of the government.
The bill as presented by Senator McCumber
is estimated to produce $350,0OO,OO0, but it will
do more-it will afford to American farms and
mills, the producers and workers of the country.
security against the competition of foreigners, al
ready invading and underselling home markets.
Our home market is the greatest in the world.
with the only solvent buyers in the world at the
present time, and short of an act of suicide, it
will be kept for the home producers to the great
est extent possible Free trade newspapers al
ready are ridiculing the republican policy. but
this is nothing new. Protection has brought
with it prosperity in the past, and will again.
