Soviet Russia Wants Amerii- can Business Firms But
 Takers Are Banned.

MOSCOW, April 22.-Soviet Rus sia is ready to waive numerous tech nicalities and make it extremely easy for representatives of big American firms to reach Moscow if they have serious intentions and actual finah- cial backing, but is more or less fed up with American promoters, George Chicherin, Commissar for Foreign Af- fairs, told the Associated Press cor. respondent in an interview.
 When the correspondent told MT. Chicherin that many American bi3:- ness men, desiring to reach Russia, lost much valuable time because of Russia had to be careful whom she let in but was not trying to thwart those with legitimate business.
 we have had painful experiences with persons representing thems elves as having big backing and in realty having none" he added, 'so we have to investigate the applications for ad- mittance. But if persons represent ing really big concerns and having serious intentions want to visit Rus sia, it will not even be neces 5ary for them to apply in person to one of cur legations or missions fer a wise They can save valuable time by conducting these preliminaries through their representative abroad

NEW YORK, April 22. - Judge Gary of the United States Steel Cor poration says he believes the time has come when the United States should recognize the Obregon gov er1ment in Mexico.

 conditions in Mexico" he says, "are better than at any time since President Porfirio Diaz abandoned his office. In some respects they are even better. Mexico is quite as rich agriculturally as she is in mineral wealth. I am one of those who is convinced that Mexican natives, if develop minds as fertile as land they live on, paystreaks of character as frequently as metalliferous veins in mountains of their native country.
 The New York World says great importance is attached to the con- ing to New York in May of Mexican Finance Minister Plenipotentiary Adolfo de Ia Huerta, Secretary of Treasury, who will make proposals that are expected to lead to re- sumption of interest payments on Mexican debt Whether this may lead to recognition of de facto gov ernment depends on many things, but it is regarded as a step in that direction.

There is diWa,s an air of resent ment and hatred around criminal court. There is nothing in the world that tempers our emotions so much as music But we must also bear in mind that there is danger even in music. Some selections might soften our hearts so much that all our prisoners would march out of jail to the tune of a dirge. On the other hand. too much jazz might make us forget the misery that we ought to remember
 For that reason each melancholy tune must be offset by one that Is exhilarating."
 Later the court will have a phono- graph sent down from his own home to supply the morning concert.

Russian Relief

South Dakota farmers will long be
remembered by the starving and des-
titute of Russia. Through the Near
East Relief, South Dakotans contri-
buted $50 carloads OF grain, princip-
ally corn. as their mite in relieving
the hunger pangs or the unfortunates.
Not only did the gift save the lives
of thousands OF the people in Russia's
drouth stricken areas but II served as
an index of the generosity of South
Dakota farmers as a whole. Other
states were called upon to donate
corn. many Of them IN the corn belt.
But South Dakota heads the list. The
lead is so great that it's nearest RI
val is a very poor second. Here's the
number of carloads donated by vari-
III states up to and including March
18th. We add the 1921 Corn produc-
tion OF the states mentioned SO as to
bring out the point tina South Dakota's
lead based on production is much
greater than the number of carloads

Howard Man Firm Believer
In Potency Of Advertising

Howard, May 5.-That persistent,
consistent and insis.ent advertising is
a paying proposition, was brought to
light here the other day when Dave
Theophilus, local elevator man, re-
ceived a card from an Alabama sub
scriber to a Howard paper, asking
Dave IL he had not yet sold the salt
he rs always advertising.
For "a years Mr.. Theophilrs has
carried a one line reader in this How
ard paper reading. Dave Theophilus
sells silt" Looking up his records,
Mr.. Theophilus discovered that in the
"a years that he had been running,
he had sold 10000 barrels OF salt, the
ad costing him a little less than $50
during that length OF time. He has
no way OF determining how much
other business that ad brought him,
but he is a firm believer In advertise
ing. and does not stop at his one line
reader In getting his goods before the
public.

Geologist Sees Future
In S. D. Aluminium

Mitchell, s. D., May 4.-That South
Dakota has deposits of aluminium and
dye that may be developed CONNER
cially with profit is indicated in a
preliminary geological survey recent
ly made of the shale along the Mis-
souri, river by Prof. A. o. Thomas of
the University of Iowa.
The preliminary survey has disclos-
ed the fact that there are huge beds
of oil shale along the river near the
center of the state and that there is
enough irregularly IN the structure
to warrant the expenditure necessary
to make a complete survey. The pre-
urinary slrvey indicates that a very
fine grade of cement can be made
from the shale, which also can be
utilized in the manufacture of practi-
cally any kind of pottery from FIRE
brick to fine grades Of china.
