Evil TREATMENT

To be always In trouble is a most
unsatisfactory way OF living. Some
people are always getting into more
trouble rather than getting out OF IT.
The reason is not difficult to find.
They seem to think they are living in
an age before law and government.
Private retaliation seldom gets n
out OF trouble. Generally you nad
better let it go. That advice is In the
thought of more than the immediate
present. The spirit of recitation cas-
lily d~egenerates into the habit OF pri-
vate revenge, which is wreaked with
the purpose of more than getting eve

ton of adding injury to insult"
1t is better where there is establish
ed law and government to let 1t have
away. In civilized society 1t is bet
ter to let the law have its way, to APP
peal matters to ii for adjudication.
But even that can be appealed to too
often. For the laws knows nothing
but of Justice and r%ewarding a return

titv or like quality. Anything more
is the o~verbearing of the judge or the
jury or else the leniency OF n one
or the other. !.
There is a much better principle OF
living. 1t is the spirit that thinks OF
the future, the welfare OF others, ac-
tor in the sight of God as well as
man. This is the principle OF Jesus
when he a v Resist not evil" and
"Return good for evil" His spirit is
not the spirit OF combat. Evil cannot

BOYS AND GIRLS

County Clubs Compete For Prizes Mt
Huron Last Week

Due to the increased number of
counties sending delegations to the

Der from each county. AS a result
Hand County's delegation was not as
large as usual. Also finances would
not permit keeping those that were
taken for the full week.
Competition in all classes was keen
er than ever before. In the Baby Beef
exhibit Ellis Reeves calf which won
hrst at st. Lawrence was given fifth
ribbon at Huron. Yankton County Of

six calves out of the Grand Champion

ARCONAUT MINERS
ALL FOUND DEAD
Indications Are That Death Took
Place Within Few Hours After
Ent0mbment

Jackson, Calf, Sept. 1S.-All forty
seven Of the miners entombed in the
Afgonaut mine August 81, are dead,
it was annuonced officially shortly be-
fore 9 O'clock tonight.
A note found on one of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
the fire August 81, officials said.
The note found read as follows:
SO a. m. Gas bad"
Had Tried 10 Leave Word
The same note bore a scrawled fig
ure az apparently indicating the
same man had attempted to leave
word for those who might come after
the condition of the mine at that hour.
Mine officials declared that the con
dition OF the cross cut behind the bulk
head was such that life could not have
been sustained there by the entombed
men for more than five hours.
The bodies were found piled on Top
of n another and decomposition had
progressed SO far that identification
would be impossible, Packard reported.
All the miners were found behind
the second Of two bulkheads they had
built In a cross cut 1850 feet down in
the Argonaut mine. Byron o. Pickard,
chief of the federal bureau of mines
for this district, was the first mar to
go behind the bulkhead and discovered
the bodies.
Pickard, on an earlier exploration
behind this bulkhead, had counted AZ
bodies and expressed the belief then
that there were others there.

Pres. State Hydro Club
Urges Votes For Project

At Rotary club at Aberdeen Monday
j. ". Parmley, president of the State
Hydro club took up the cudgels for
the proposed hydro development of the
Missouri river answering the opposi-
ton to it voiced at the luncheon last
week In that city In a discussion by
John B. Romans.
Mr.. Parmley urged the vote in favor
of the initiated law No. / as a logi-
cal and desirable means of utilizing
a natural source of power now wasted.
He quoted approval Of the project
from the report Of the engineers sum
married. as follows:
1. That physical conditions are fav-
orable to the safe development of
Hydro-Electric power plants at vari-
Gus sites on the Missouri River in
South Dakota.
2. That the best site for immediate
development. all things considered, is
about four miles above the city of Mo-
bridge, where a plant may safely be
constructed with a thirty-foot head at
less first cost than at any other point
on the Missouri River in South Dako-
ia.
7. That the total cost Of construc-
ton of the entire installation is esti-
mated at SIG, TAT ,000. 90. .
IL. That the cost of power from
fuel at the various power plants of
the state varies from IL cents to 10
cents per kilowatt hour, based on en-
tire station charges, and from / cent
to 5 cents per kilowatt hour, based
on fuel costs only.
Is. That the unit cost at which
power can be developed at the Mo-
bridge site when the entire, output
amounting to $1,000, 900 kilomatt hours
per annum, is solo would be 1.60 cents
per kilowatt hour with the full invest
ment included and 1.34 cents per kilo-
watt hour il secondary transmission
systems are furnished by customers.
Ia. That the average price at which
power must probably be sold from the
Hydro-Electric plant wculd be about
1.S7 cents per kilowatt hour with Sc
condary transmission line furnished,
or at 1877 cents per hour il the Gus
toners furnish the secondary trans
mission systems. BY such charges a
profit above fixed and operating costs
would be realized from which the orr
ginal capital costs would be gradually
retired, or a fund could be accumulat-
ed to provide for future Hydro-Elec-
trio developments.
%. That when the Industrial de-
velopment of the state utilities the en-
tire output of the proposed Mobridge
Hydro-Electric plant a second Aplant
at the Mulehead site would be con-
structed.
"a. That the unit cost of current
would decrease to about IL cents per
kilowatt hour when the entire output
of both plants with thirty-foot heads,
amounting to approximately 200, 000,-
900 kilowatt hours per annum, is sold,

of employees are necessary.
AT the end of the fiscal year June
80, 1920, at which time the executive
departments were all in control of
Democrats, the number of federal en-
pioyes was 1,116. The Republican
Congress in making appropriations
for the next fiscal year did not believe
this number OF employees were neces-
sary and they reduced appropriations
for salaries to such an extent that the
number had to be reduced.
SO that as a matter of fact whatever
reduction in the public payrolls has
taken place since June 80, 1920, must
be credited to the Republican party.
Whatever reduction took place be-
tween June 80, 1920, ard March =.
1921, was due to the action of the Re-
publican Congress in reducing appro-
priations for salaries over the protests
of Democratic executives. Whatever
reduction has taken place since March
4, 1921, must be credited to both the
Republican executives and the Repub-
lican Congress, acting in cooperation.
AS stated above, the number of en-
ployes on the government payrolls at
the end of the fiscal year June 80, 1920
was 691,116. The number on the pay
rolls June 80, 1922, was $50. 1863. This
represents a total reduction in feder-
al employees in two years OF 139, 253,
all OF which must be credited to the
Republican party.

On the other hand it can be argued
that golf requires great concentra-

advantage on the ball field. 1T trains

Professional BaH Players
FOrSQke BntFOrG GOHCI1Ib
BY BILLY EVANS

What does the professional bail
player think OF golf?
/ refer particularly to the major
league stars. since they are regarded
as the cream of the baseball talent.
Ten years ago if that question was
put to some major league star ne
would first give a very careful once
over to the person who made the
remark. That would be to determine
the sanity of the individual.
After having satisfied himself on
that point he would probably rid his
system OF series of loud laughs.
This would indicate that he believed
some one was trying to josh him.
Il guess that game of pasture pool
is all right If you are able to keep
on walking and don't lose the ball"
would be about the way he would
express his feelings. Then as you
would start to say something else
he would probably butt in with;
Isn't that the game where they
serve tea and cake and have a couple
of intermissions while tea is being
prepared"
That is the way great many ma
jor league players viewed the golf
game 10 or more years back. How
ever 1t is now very much different
If you were to ask some major league
star of today how he liked golf, he
would Immediately reply:
- Its a great game. ! play 1t every
chance I get. Next to hitting the old
pill like to smack the solf ball
certainly like to hit 'en. Not so good
on my short game. but | am open to
meet any other player in either OF
the big leagues who thinks he can
trim me at driving"
Players Like Golf
Golf is an obsession With ma
jority of the major league players
Some of them play ii to the distrac-
ton of their manager. Getting a bal
player out of bed in the morning was
once the hardest thing in the world
Now the suggestion of golf game
for the next day will invariably re-
suit in four or five players leaving a
o'clock call and playing is or more
holes before game time.
II you visited any o. the major
league club houses during the sea-
son the lockers Of the different play
ers would probably show as many
golf sticks as baseball bats. Often In
the mornings the players, when sup
posedly practicing baseball, are hit
ting the golf ball around the field.
Is golf good thing for ball play
ers?
That has been much debated
question since the game took such q
hold on the players. There are some
managers who do not approve OF IT.
Others think it is all right, il not in
dulged in to excess.
