a Good Word for Him.

Hans Schmidt was reputed to be the
meanest man in the neighborhood. He
died. His body was placed In the
grave, and, according to an old Penn
sylvania German custom, the people
stood around the open grave, waiting
for someone to say some good thing
about the deceased before filling the
grave. After long wait, Gustave
schulze said: "Well. can say joost
one goot thing about Hans: he wasn't
always as mean as he was sometimes" !"

the new Twin City-Watertown-B Black
Hills and Yellowstone park direct
route highway at Madison, Minn.,
next Tuesday, are to hold South Da-
kota meeting in Watertown next Mon

sentatives here, letters indicate,
from every town along the proposed
arrow line trail west of this city TO
the Black Hills to join the Water
town delegation to the Madison
meeting.
The program for the interstate
meeting at Madison including two
bands and big banquet at the Lac
Qui Parle hotel will make Tuesdays
session the biggest that has yet been
held to boost the organization of this
new direct route highway that is cut
off over 80 miles of the automobile

miles the distance to the Yellowstone
park as well as taking tourists
through South Dakota's scenic Black
Hills

ing that much of the new trail is al
ready completed and that the gaps
necessary to be constructed may be

ON THE VERGE
OF ERUPTION
HAWAIIAN VOLCANO SHOWS UN-
USUAL SIGNS OF UNREST.

Hilo Islands of Hawaii, T. H., June
6-The goddess Pele, Hawaiian diety
of volcanoes who early this week
stirred her fires in long dormant crat-
ers is brewing terrible broth in her
giant fire-yaults, under the lava
cones, which at any moment she may
pour out upon the country about her.
Such, at any rate, is the forecast of
Prof. r. A. Jaggar, yolcanolist. who
for years has studied Pele's moods.
Il believe Madame Pele means
mischief" Prof. Jaggar declares. Il
am hourly expecting momentous
events"
The eruption, he said, may rival or
even surpass the great outbreak Of
1e40 when the districts about the
seaside villages of Kapoho, Kalapana
ana Kaimu were inundated with lava.
Prof. Jaggars' prediction was
Based upon the collapse last Monday
of the Halemaumau pit in the Kila-
uea crater by the sudden draining
out of the smolten lava, with result
and breaking down of the upper
walls of the pit and the numerous
earth tremors recorded at the vol
cano observatory near here. Events
of the last few days are a repetition
in exact sequence, Prof. Jaggar said,
of the activity that preceded the
1910 eruption, when lava from Hale
maumau drained away toward the
craters ,of Makophuhi and Uapau on
the great rift system extending
along the coast in the regions of ok
poho and Kalapana. This was the
phenomenon which this week re-
stored the Makaopuhi crater to ac-
tivity for the first time since 1S4O
and which at the same time subdued
the Halemaumau fire pit The
tremors registered show intense ac
tivity along this line of the lava flow
the yolcanoligist said.

at the mines established last week
with operators in more than 80 per
cent of the present producing fields

es committees In different sections
of the country the various branches
of the industry can be linked in pass
ing on to the consumers the prices
agreed upon.

ans club of Dell Rapids has arrang-
ed for Miss Gertrude Reynolds to
take charge of the children's play in
the park during the vacation months.

develop them mentally and physical
ly, and in gymnastic exercises that
will give them sane minds in sound
bodies.
The club asks for the cooperation
of all parents. Any child who may
be rude or disobedient may be a.
once sent home and debarred from
the games until its parents have
seen Miss Reynolds and arranged
with her for better cooperation
On Monday, June s, Miss Reynolds
will be at the park at 2:3O p. m. te
explain her hours and methods, ant
all mothers are urged to meet hel
there SO that they may understand
better what she plans for the chill
dren.
In order to finance this movement
the club will hold White Elephan
sale in about two weeks.

But fate interviewed, and instead of
their commencement exercises, real
funeral was held over the body of the
yaledictorian of the class, John Will
liams, who, was drowned the day be-
fore the date on which the gradua-
ton exercises were to be held.
The young man went fehing early

friends and after fishing for a short
sine decided to go swimming. He
was a good swimmer and swan
across the lake twice. He tried ii
again and after having gone nearly
the entire distance he was sroticed to
struggle and cry for help.
Owing to the fact that none of the
others in the party were able to
swim they could do nothing except
watch him drown. The body was
recovered several hours later.

WANT TO RETURN
BILL HAYWOOD'S PROMISES or
GOOD JOBS IN RUSSIA WERE
NOT WORTH MUCH.

Washington, ID. c., June 6-The
United States government it was indi-
Gated In official circles, probably
would interpose no obstacles to the
return to America of those workers
who went to soviet Russia to engage
in mining and manufacturing enter
prises under the auspices of William
Haywood, leader in the Industrial
Workers of the World movement.
Letters received from the emf
grants say they have become dis
couraged and now desire To return
to the United States. Officials gath
cred from other reports that many OF
these workers have undergone a
change In their administration oi
soviet principles and no great feal
is felt that upon their return they
would attempt to spread the soviet
doctrines.
Many of the applicants are genu-
inc American citizens, either by birth
or naturalization, and provided the
latter has not been forfeited, the,
cannot legally be excluded, it was
pointed out.
The principal obstacle that prodl
gals are expected to encounter is op
position from the soviet authorities
to their departure. Cable dispatches
of recent date from Odessa for in
stance, have stated that fugutives
have made their escape from Russis
with the greatest difficulty, owing t.
the severe prohibitory laws of thu
soviets. 1t is believed, however, b,

intended to apply principally or per
