billions at a phenomenal rate ar
facts that are steadily bearing
themselves into the conscious
ness of this entire section of thu
State. Every feature of the com
mencement was an evidence O
this reformation.
AS agencies in this progressive
spirit, three factors were FREEDOM
nant-a faith in the virtue anc
power of good music, the whole
some regard for clean athletics
and a real thirst for truth anc
knowledge.
Music was emphasized through
two operettas. The first was
given on Friday evening and the
second Saturday evening. In
spite of inclement weather some
seven hundred people attended
each of these exercises. On &C
count of the smallness of the
auditorium there was only stand
ing room fer about two hundred.
The operetta on Friday night
was called Midsummer Eve"
and was organized and directed
by Miss Ethel Proffitt. An ease
of manner and quality of voice
evidenced the fact that these
children had often appeared in
public entertainments and had
been carefully trained The op-
eretta on Saturday night was en-
titled, THE Love Pirat:s of
Hawaii" It was directed by
Miss Myra Ormond, of Rocking.
ham. Before the play began, an
announcement that Miss Ormond
would return next year as a High
school teacher brought forth a
volume of applause. Of boys
and girls who have had only two
years musical training, no one
could possibly have asked more.
Each character carried his part
with such poise as to reflect
credit on their entire years train
ing. The costumes both nights
were apt and unique. A sca1f
drill directed by Miss Capel and
Miss Sides delighted all.
The musical achievements of
the school year were further re-
vealed by a strikingly fine band
concert ON Sunday evening. Ap-
propriate selections were render,
ed in the school auditorium. The
auditorium was again ovcrcowd-
ed by a larger audience than on
the previous evenings. The bad
has been organized this year by
its faithful and competent direc,
tor, Mr.. L. K. Sides. 4. chorus
of one hundred children and
another OF fifty sang beautifully
at other exercises.
Of the three baseball games
which were scheduled, the
weather permitted only one.
This one was played on Monday
afternoon with Rockingham. The
victory went to Ellerbe by the
score Of 70. This is the fifteenth
athletic contest IN which Ellerbe
and Rockingham have engaged
in the last two years. In four
teen of these Ellerbe has been
the victor.
A sermon of unusual ability
was preached on Sunday morn
ing in the Methodist church by
the, Reverend Howard Hartzell,
of Rockingham. In a simple,
direct and forceful manner Rev
Hartzell pointed out the chief
stumbling blocks in most mems
lives. And he pointed to the life
of Christ as the only true guide.
Vivid pictures emphasized each
point. A crowded church will
remember and appreciate the
sincere and helpful words of Rev.
Hartzell. Following the services,

John Shanks has announced that he
has notified his deputies to begin on
February / and arrest automobile
drivers they find who have not Sc
cured 1922 license and whose cars
are not carrying 1922 license tags.

ANOTHER
GERMAN TREATY
PACT SUGGESTED AT WHITE
HOUSE DINNER WOULD PRO-
VIDE FOR ARBITRATING
PRIVATE CLAIMS.

Washington, Jan. 27.-President
Harding ahd under consideration to-
day a proposal that the United States
negotiate new treaty with Germany
for creation of commission for ar
bitration of private damage claims
growing out of the world war. Sug-
gested at White House dinner con-
ference last night between the presi-
dent, Secretary Hughes and republi-
can leaders of the senate and house,
the proposed arbitration treaty, while
understood not to have been definite
ly decided upon, was said to have
been favorably viewed by the presi-
dent as providingta substitute for ar
bitration rights reserved by this
country under its separate treaty with
Germany.
While these rights give the Unit
ed States opportunity to join with
the allies in arbitral commissions es-
tablished under the Versailles treaty.
it was said to have been concluded
that American participation in these
commissions would be impracticable
chiefly on account of the hostility oi
many republican senators to any sort
of participation under the Versailles
pact. Other reasons against 1t also
were said to have been developed II

JANUARY GAS
TAX S54,319
mat THAT AVERAGE AN
NUAL TOLL Is 1851 ,s2s.

Pierre, Jan. 27.-With only a few
checks to come in, which it is believ-
ed will not amount to over 500, the
first months collections from the
motor vehicle tax has netted the state
$54,319,01.
This is considerably more than was
estimated until just recently and Civ
es a little idea of what the tax of
one cent per gallon of gasoline is go
ing to give the state in revenue in
one year.
Should each month average the
same amount the state will take in
$651.S28," said Deputy Auditor Milo
Drake. "Of course there will be some
refunding in cases of exempt gasoline
which is not used in motor cars on
the highways, but on the other hand
/ estimate that the amount of gas
oline now on hand is much lower than
it will be during the season when
cars are used extensively and will
more than make up for the exemp.
tions. OF course this is guesswork
but we know the tax is going to net
much more than was estimated il
would yield the state"

CUT IN
FREIGHT RATES
KELLEY ANTICIPATES WITH
DRAWAL OF PART OF IN
CREASE GRANTED IN 1920.

Pierre, Jan. 27.-It is probable
that at last part of the 35 per cent
increase in freight rates, authorized
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion on August 25, 1920 will be
Withdrawn as the result of the present
general hearing before that body, at
Washington, according to ID. l.. Kel-
ley, rate expert, for the South Da-
kota Railroad commission, who with
Dawes Brisbine, a member of the
board and B. L. Bitney, statistician
is representing South Dakota at the
national capitol.
"The railroads, however, hate to
allow any recession in the high level
of rates which they now have" Mr..
Kelley writes, hoping that business
will adjust itself finally and leave
the carriers in a very advantageous
position. They take the position that
their income is not at this time equal
to that provided by the transporta-
tion act and that they should not be
compelled to make any general reduc-
tions on any commodities.
''They assume the position that il
the Interstate Commission will defin-
itely find and state that no general
reductions can be made at this time
nor for some definite period in the
future, that business interests viii
adapt themselves to the condition and
go ahead They claim that the pres
ent uncertainty of the situation ii
what Is slowing down general activ
tiles.
"On the other hand shipping in
terests favor substantial reductions
and argue that increased tonnage
will overcome lowering rates"

THE FARM
SHARE LEASE
THIS THE MOST POPULAR PLAN
FOR RENTERS IN SOUTH
DAKOTA

Brookings, Jan. 27.-"The share
lease is by far the most popular form
of farm lease in South Dakota, +"
says H. d. Mccullough, assistant
farm management demonstrator at
State college. Nearly four times as
many farms in the state are rented
on shares as are rented on cash
basis
''The practice of sharing in the
returns from livestock as well as
from crops" states Mr. Mccullough
SIS growing in this state The
question OF what constitutes fail
lease under these condition is an i'm

! "A good basis for determining
how the proceeds should be divided
between land owner and tenant Is
to make list of the items furnish
by each party and set down a cash
estimate of the value of each item

BUFFALO HUNTER
DIES IN HILLS
HANK" WALTERS WAS FAMOUS
IN PIONEER DAYS AS SLAYER
OF BISON

Deadwod, Jan. 81. Henry
("Hank") Walters, pioneer of the
Black Hills, who died a few days
ago, was one of the last of the great
buffalo hunters OF the early days of
the west.
When he came to the great west
while yet young man he was a ma
ture-lover and spent most OF his
time in the open. His first ac-
quaintance with western life was as
a buffalo hunter along the Yellow
stone river at the time the Northern
Pacific railroad was built through
North Dakota and Montana
While at this work he established
a reputation as a hunter which was
envied by all the hunters of the
region. He had remarkable success
In supplying the railroad construc-
ton camps with buffalo meat. In
1882 he came to the Black HIS,
and from that time until his death
was interested in various mining
projects.
For years he had resided on min
ing claims near Custer Peak, and
his time during the winters was
spent in Improvement work on his
mining claims, while during the
summer months he raised vegetables
and conducted a small farm. Two
known relatives survive him, a
brother, William Walters, OF Feni-
more, Wis, and a nephew, Walter
Grey, of Spencer, Iowa. u

Found In Cavern

Bristol Va.-Tenn., Jan. 27.-The
finding of approximately 500 human
skeletons in cave in the mountains
near here was reported yesterday by

To HEAR SOLDIERS
ON BONUS QUESTION
HOUSE COMMITTEE TO HOLD
BRIEF SESSIONS NEXT
WEEK

Washington. D. c., Jan. 81
Brief hearings will be held. prob
ably next week, preliminary to the
drafting of a soldier bonus bill.
Chairman Fordney announced to-
night. Opportunity will be afford
ed representatives of the treasury
and veterans organizations, such as
the American Legion, to present
their views, but it is not likely, he
said, that any attempt will be made
to obtain the opinions of others.
Mr.. Fordney said bill would be
reported to the house within two
or three weeks and would carry a
provision for the raising of the rev.
enue.
Announcement of the committees
plans came after conference to-
day between republican leaders CT
congress at which it was agreed a
bonus bill should be framed in the
house with the determination of q
way to provide revenue left TO the
ways and means committee.
Decision of the committee to take
action also came on the eve of a
caucus of house republicans tomor-
row night, at which members who
were in the military service during
the war are expected to demand a
prompt enactment Of bonus bill.
Insistence of Secretary Mellon, ex-
pressed in a letter to Mr.. Fordney
that the country's finances were sc
critical that bonus was inadvis
able, especially if linked up with
the foreign debt, had a tendency to-
day of increasing talg among house
members in favor of a sales tax.

Washington Jan. 27.-Congress
today cleared the way for the bonus
bill. Passage of the bill within two
months was predicted following a
caucus of the house republicans at
which a resolution was unanimously
passed calling upon the ways and
means committee to report out the
bonus bill and keep it before the
house until passed. Both thee SEN
ate and the house republicans have
waived aside the opposition of Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon to
the bill and are disregarding his
claim that the treasury cannot af-
ford it. The only delay now will
be deciding how to raise the money.
