ward and compensation for her exem-
plary conduct during the last three

Uniform Dress For
Girls All Wrong

New York, March 22.--Uniform-
fly of dress among working girls is
all wrong, in the opinion of New
York city's employment bureau.
The rather general spread of com
pulsory working dress reform among
Newark. N. j., banks and depart
ment stores, recently led to discus
sion of the merits and demerits OF
regulated attire for female employees,
into which the New York municipal
employment agency jumped today
with a statement that it is the de-
liberate Judgment of the bureau that
most employers have no particular
prejudice against flapper styles.
THE majority of employers" says
the announcement from the bureau
"are of the general opinion that a
'dumbbell' can be dressed in the
chaste attire of a man as well as in
the brief dress of the flapper. EN-
ployers have ne objection to sport
shoes, polo coats, felt hats and the
like. They are. in fact, deemed SEN
sible, but some employers express
confusion because so many girls
present uniform appearance and II
is difficult to distinguish them"

Water mandates
West Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls. March 22.-Flood
conditions along the Big Sioux river
in this vicinity are hourly becoming
more serious, as the river continues
to rise, due to the arrival of flood
waters from the upper reaches of the
stream. West Sioux Falls, situated
on bottom land west of the city, is
in the heart of the flooded district.
Communication by auto or on foot
with that section of the city is pre-
carious. Many Of the houses in what
is known as Braley's addition, south
of West Sioux Falls, are surrounded
by water. and Sherman park, one OF
the leading parks of the city, Is
flooded. Houses In The Covell laks'
section also are practically maroon
ed. Water in manv clscs has fill ID

wearing rubber boots. but the wc-
men are unable to move outside OF
their homes.

TURN DOWN PLAN
OF "RA|NMAKER"
NORTHWEST COUNTIES WILL DE-
PEND UPON NATURE FOR SEA-
SONS MOISTURE SUPPLY.

Pierre, March 22.-The counties
along the line between this state and
North Dakota, which were consider
ing the services of "rainmaker" for
the coming year, will evidently get
along without such services and de-
pend upon the supply which nature
brings them instead of attempting to
buy rain at so much per inch.
This is because the county author
tiles and the rainmaker cannot agree
on what the normal rainfall for that
section is.
There appears to be something
like two inches differences in the es-
Inmates of the man who has "mois-
ure to SELL" and that Of the county
authorities
The contract sent in for signatures
called for $1,000 an inch over a GER
tain amount designated as normal,
and the commissioners declined to
contract unless the normal was rais-
ed about two inches.
AS there did not appear to be any
middle ground, the whole deal Is
apparently Off
This rainmaking Is reminder OF
the drouth conditions In central
South Dakota quarter of century
ago, when the rainmaking outfits
were numerous. but none OF them ap-
parently was successful.
While the west country will try it
for another year without the serv-
ices of the man who claims to be
able to bring them relief, they are
getting good supply of moisture
from the heavy snow coat of the past
winter, which is going off gradually
and soaking the country, and will
wait to see what the future brings
them.

LIQUOR

McCOUN WARNS PUBLIC TO BE-
WARE OF MOONSHINE THAT
is STOLEN.

Aberdeen, March 22.-"Bad bug
juice" remarked Isaac McCoun of
Sioux Falls, federal prohibition en-
forcement officer, as he sat two jugs
of tw ogallons capacity each on the
floor or the lobby in the Ward hotel
and went out to motor bus which
stood in front of the hotel and lug
ged two more jugs into the lobby
Mr.. McCoun had returned from a
visit to Milbank, where he had se-
cured the jugs and their contents to
be used as evidence against boot
logger when the case comes up for
trial at the next term of the federal
court. The bootlegger is in Jail at
Milbank. He was arrested by the
state authorities and convicted in
the state court, and he will face an
other trial in the federal court.

is acquainted with Mr.. McCoun, and
who had experienced dreams of the
long ago as he saw the jugs and
hoped for the best as to beer and
ilSHt wines, some Qay.
Poisoned" said Mr. McCoun. .It
would prepare you for appearance
at the pearly gates, If you quaffed
a small slug of il. In Grant county

of seized booze for evidence
in court, put arsenic or rat poison
or anything else which spells death
into what remains of the seized liq-
uor so that it may never be used for
human consumption with any GER
tainty of results. AS the question of
quantity enters into violations of the
federal prohibitory law, it is neces-
sary to have sufficient quantity to
prove the governments case. That
is why / have brought these several.
jugs from Grant countq. But its

destroyed and he who drask it would
probably not live to relate incidents
which happen thereafter. The NAH
who drinks intoxicants nowadays
should be certain they have not been
in possession of an officer of the
law. Incidents have occurred where
the vault in sheriff's office has
been burglarized for the seized liq-
uor stored therein, but sheriffs are
taking no chances on losing such
evidence, at the present time. They
simply fix it so that booze burglar
will prove his own guilt by becoming
dangerously i'll and possibly turning
up his toes after imbibing in 1t. 1t

but is regarded as good scheme. by
officers whose duty it is to hunt

ig s. Legs
Were All Wrong

Mitchell, March 22.-J. M. Erion
a breeder of Po'and China hogs has.
or did have three pigs, that had four
legs, and yet none of these pigs had
four legs, for they were all hind
legs. A blooded SOW of Mr. Erion's
farrowed litter of eleven pigs this
week. Eight of the pigs were per-
feet. The other three had perfect
bodies, but their legs We're all wrong;
that is the legs in front We're wrong,
for they were not fore legs at all,
but hind legs. Having perfectly
formed hind legs where the fore legs
should have been, they interfered
with the locomotion of the piglets.
They couldn't go forward at all, and
they couldn't spend all their life go
ing backwards, and SO. rather than
go through life Inundated every one
of the pigs died.

CHICAGO CRIME
RING REVEALED
YOUTHS CONFESS TO OUTRAGES
ASSERT WOMAN INFYIU-
ENCEP. THEM.

Chicago, March 22.-Through the
arrest of two boys and the mother of
one of them, the police today believ-
ed they had broken up the most un-
usual and INSCRIPTIONS group of
criminals in the. city. The boys,
Charles Shader, 10, and Krank Lee,
is, were held with Shader's mother,
in connection with crimes ranging
from larceny, criminal assault on a
mute woman, TO murder. Mrs. Sna-
der was declared by the police to be
female Fagin who directed the vice
activities of the youths and forced
them into life of crime.
Sometime ago Mr.: Shader. the
woman's husband. was found shot
to death in his home, large pistol
by his side. A few days ago Mar
garet Shader, 16 years old, sister of
Charles, was found shot to death
with the pistol by her side. Margar-
cts mother said the girl killed her
self when she was refused permis-
sion to marry Lee the boy arrested
with Shader and his mother. Lee is
mulatto, and the Shaders are
white.
Lee, sitting in his cell today, told
the police, they said, that Margaret
had met her death through her re-
fusal to obey Mrs. ShaGer's orders
that she join the others in their
crime activities.
"She was good girl-that was
why she is dead' said Lee.
"She didn't kill herself She was
murdered She didn't want to marry
me, as they said She just wanted
to be good
Lee was quoted by the police as
saying that. Mrs. Shader made him
and Charles become criminals He
told the police he thought she was a
'voodoo" woman and that he was
afraid to disobey her.
"She was going to put spell over
me il I didn't obey her." Lee said.
In the Shader home the police
found more than $4,000 worth of
goods which they said had been stol-
en-. There was enough to stock a
fair sized department store.
The two boys signed confessions,
the police said, that they had COM
mitted more than 200 burglaries.

Black Hills
Outlook Good

Deadwood, March 22.--Farmers
and ranchers of the valleys surround
ing the Black Hills look for a pros
porous crop this season. The snow
fall in the Black Hills district dur
ing the winter was one of the heav-
lest on record, and all this snow now
has melted and gone into the ground,
placing the soil in the best possible
condition for giving crops the right
sort OF start in the spring. Cattle
In the district have wintered well,
and there has been little or no loss.
1t is expected the crop acreage of
the Black Hills district will be great
ly increased this season. With am
pie moisture In the ground, and the
certainty of the customary spring
rains, 1t Is the general belief that
thearesidents of the valleys will this
year make new record in crop pro-
duction.
