FIRES TAKE BIC
TOLL IN STATE
FARM AND TOWN CONFLAGRA-
TIONS CAUSE LOSSES IN
DIFFERENT SECTIONS.

Cham berlain, Feb. 14.-Fires at
several points in the state during
the past few days took their toll of
property and livestock
A loss of several thousand dollars
resulted when fire destroyed the
dwelling house on the Bye farm, oc-
cupied by Ole A. Olson, and family,
three miles east of Sinai The fire
was discovered while members Of
the household were eating their din
ner. The flames spread so rapidly
that the house could not be saved,
there being no water on the place.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed
kes, near Stockholm, Codington
county. Hurkes was badly burned
about the face and hands when he
was struck by flaming material fall
ling from the burning barn. He lost
several head of horses, which were
burned to death, it being possible
to save only one of the animals in
the barn. While striving to rescue
his auto he was struck by the flam-
ing timber.
Fire starting in the attic of the
farm home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S.
Happier, in the Armour district,
completely destroyed the buildings
and contents. Only few bed quilts
could be saved. A small amount of
insurance was carried on the furni-
ture, but not enough to cover the
loss, which will total about 1900.
Fire starting from the furnace of
the basement under the office of the
Motor Inn, an automobile house at
Lake Andes, destroyed the office fix
lures and a large stock of auto ac-
cessories which were stored in it, A
large number of tires stored near
the office were also practically ruin
ed. Considerable damage was done
to the building. A valuable dog
which was locked in the office per-
ished in the fire. There was some
insurance on the destroyed proper
~, bu tnot enough to cover the loss.

REVIVE MEMORY
Of GREAT FIGHT
MANY SOCIETIES TO HONOR
BUILDERS OF MERRIMAC
AND MONITOR.

New York, Feb. 14.--Memories of
the stirring days of the Sixties will
be revived March when dignitaries
of two nations gather here with
teachnical and civic societies to hon
or Captain John Ericsson and his
partner Cornelius III. Delamater, on

ing an Ericsson-Delamater banquet

STERLING TALKS
ON FARMER BILL
SENIOR SENATOR FROM SOUTH
DAKOTA OPPOSES SENATE
AMENDMENT TO HOUSE
MEASURE.

Washington, Feb. 14.-The house
bill to authorize the association of
producers of agricultural products
has aroused much discussion in the
United States senate. Senator Ster-
ling took the floor i'm defense of the
house bill and spoke in opposition to
the senate judiciary committee
amendment which would make such
farmers associations liable to prose-
cution for creating or attempting to
create monopoly under the provi-
sions of the Sherman antitrust law.
Senator Sterling took the position
that this amendment would destroy
the purpose of the bill, which IS to
permit the producers of agri, II dral
products to form associations tor the
purpose of handling, preparing for
market and marketing such prod
ucts. In the course of his speech he
pointed out the close relationship
between monopoly and an agree
ment in restraint of trade or COM
merce and took the position that if
a farmers association could be pro-
secuted for creating or attempting to
create a monopoly, it would be un-
der the same kind of evidence as
would be used to support charge
that the association was combina-
tion in restraint of trade. He held
that the adoption of the senate COM
mittee amendment would take the
heart out of the bill and nullify all
attempts to in any way reliev farm
ers' associations from liability un-
der the Sherman act. He contended
that the test was whether there was
an undue enhancement of prices and
that the public was amply protect
ed by the provisions of the bill,
which give the secretary of agricul-
ture power to investigate any charge
that an association had so restrain
ed or monopolized trade as to un-
duly enhance the price of any agri-
cultural product, with the power
through court proceedings, If neces-
sary, to compel the association to
cease or desist therefrom.
1t is believed that majority of
the senate will favor the bill as it
passed the house and that the SEN
ate committee amendment will be
defaeted.

SITUATION TENSE
IN | IRELAND D
THREE FACTIONS APPARENTLY
FIGHTING FOR CONTROL.

London, Feb. 14.-Ireland today
trembled on the verge of civil war
between three factions. They are,
first, supporters of Eamonn De Va
lera who are reported plotting to ov-
erthrow the provisional government
of the Irish free state and proclaim
a republic; second, the provisional
government of the Irish free state
headed by Michael Collins; third,
Ulster which is in arms against raids
over it's border by republicans who
want more of the territory claimed
by Ulster. The situation is more
tense than at any time since the
truce.

To Prevent
Coal Strikes

Washington, Feb. 14.-In an ef-
fort to avert a threatened coal strike
and to prevent future coal disputes,
Senator Kenyon today introduced a
bill creating tribunal to adjust
differences between miners and OPP
orators. While it probably would be
impossible to pass the Kenyon bill
before the present strike situation
reached it's climax, the fact that con-
gress is at work upon sush measures
might serve to stave off impending
trouble, many senators believe.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE
IN RURAL DISTRICTS
FIELD AGENTS ISSUE SOME
OPTIMISTIC REPORTS.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 14.-Op-
timistic views of improved conditions
in the country's basic aricultural in
dustries are warranted by reports
received by the war finance corpor-
alton from it's field agencies, accord
ing to statement issued tonight by
Managing Director Meyer.
Corn is pow selling at country
elevators in Nebraska and Iowa at
40 cents a hushel, as against 20
cents four months ago." he said.
Hogs command a good market, and
reports indicate that farmers are
getting the equivalent of 80 to so
cents for corn (fed) marketed on
the hoof. The market for sheep is
stabilized. They are selling large
quantities and at prices considered
sufficient to the growers and feed
ers.
1.-The cattle market is no longer
demoralized; the breeding herds are
being held; the young stock is no
longer being sacraficed, and the
feeding and fattening business is
proceeding ID good volume and with
fairly satisfactory returns. There is
broad market for wool and hides
at good prices. The grain markets
are showingsa good consumptive de-
mand.
"All this means that the farmer is
being put in position to liquidate his
debts gradually, and that his nor
NAL purchasing power-so vital TO
the commercial and industrial and
transportation interests being re
stored"

L. Fisher, of Pipestone. Mimi, were
