STRIKE HURTS FARMERS

The strike is having a keen esfecl
on the farmers throughout this state
they being about the keenest sufferers
Of any line of business. Numerous
elevators in various sections are re,
fusing to accept grain except for
storage, very little buying going on
for the reason that lack Of %transporta.
ton facilities prevents the elevators
from shipping their grain, with the
result that they are unable to turn
over the crop.
Farmers who have the finances to
back them are building grararies on
their own farms, while others are
stacking their grain for future thresh-
ing when the strike is settled. Other
farmers are finding it impossible to
pay their threshing bills, with the re-
suit that the threshers are finding
themselves in. hard straits.
Several threshers have adopted the
policy Of giving a ten per cent dis.
count for cash at the completion of
threshing, and this plan is enabling
the farmers to borrow money from
the banks to meet their threshing
bills.
Farmers throughout this section
with stock ready for market are like.

commissioner Of Beadle county, has
had two car loads of hogs ready for
market for several weeks and has
been forced to keep a man busy
sprinkling down these hogs during
the hot weather to prevent them
from dying. Other stock raisers are

TARIFF FAvORs COLLEGES

After a brief hut sharp fight, Senat.
or Sterling OF South Dakota is hav.
ing adopted by the Senate his amend.
ment to the tariff bill providing that
philosophical, scientific and labora-
tory instruments, apparatus and ap-
pliances, imported for educational in
stitutions and to be used solely for
educational purposes, should be ad-
mitted free Of duty. Senator Ster.
ling pointed out that for a great many
years these articles, when imported
for educational purposes, had been ad-
mitted duty free. Indeed" he said,
81 do not recall when scientific in
struments, used solely for educational
purposes by educational institutions,
had to pay duty. / think what ever
we may do in regard to other articles,
these articles, which are the very d.
rect means and instrumentalities of
education in educational institutions,
should not have to bear the burden of
a tariff duty" 1t was claimed that
the privilege given educational in.
situations Of importing these articles
into the United States free Of duty
had meen "~outragously abused" at
times by the officials Of a number of
educational institutions in the United
States, and for this reason both the
House and Senate committees had
decided that educational institutions
should pay the same rate of duty
as others. Senator Sterling's amend
ment was adopted, however, by a vote
of 30 to- rs.

PLANNING
BIG CELEBRATION
BUILT ON LINES SIMILAR TO
"CoOTiE" AND "YANkEE
DOODLE" DAYS
EXPECT TO BREAK SUMMER MONOTONY
Final Arrangements And Dates Will
Be Fixed At Post Meeting
Tomorrow Night.

Believing that the m%onotony of life
in Brookings during the summer
which has not even been frightened
by a ball game or any form of sport
or celebration, the American Legion
of Bookings is going to follow the
example set by the Legion Posts of
Madison, Flandreau, Sioux Falls, Dell
Rapids, Huron and dozens of other
cities by putting or a real celebration
such as will attract people from miles
around.
DR.. E. j. Whitehead. post command
er, called a meeting Of the executive
committee last Friday evening for the
purpose OF arranging plans for the big
merican Legion celebration held in
many other nearby towns this summer
gave them many ideas to work upon.
People are still talking Of the Yankee
Doodle Day" at Madison, "Cootie Day"
at Dell Rapids, and the big celebra-
ton at Flandreau last Thursday.
The Sioux Falls post attracted the
largest crowd that ever gathered at
n place in the history of South Da-
kota recently at their celebration at
Wall Lake. The principal attraction
was a ball game in which DR.. Juel
pitched against Donaldson of the All
Nations team. Twenty thousand
people from all over the state were
present.
The Brookings Legion men will
meet tomorrow evening at the Com
mercial club rooms and complete the
final details Of the celebration and
fix the date. A feature of the Brook
ings celebration will be a big free at
traction for the entertainment Of visit
ors, the expenses of which the boys
will bear themselves. The sports
program will have a ball game as a
head liner. A ball game in Brook
ings now ranks as a curiosity and
should prove to be a great drawing
card. Two first class teams who
have been rivals all season will be
brought to Bookings to fight out
their differences on that day.
Automobile races have been con
sidered tentatively as another feature.
Foot races and novelty races for the
boys and girls have also been plan
ned. The days entertainment will
close with a dance, not just an or
binary public dance but something
bigger and better than anything ever
before held in this section Of the
state.
The American Legion in Brookings
has been quiet for several months on
the surface, but underneath it is as
active and verile as any post in the
state. The members have taken
hold Of this idea with a firm purpose
to put it over in big shape. At the
meeting tomorrow night at which
every member is expected to be pre-
sent, the life and pep of the organiza-
ton will make itself apparent.

ONE KILLED, FIVE INJURED

Chris Sojgaard was killed, his wife
severely and probably fatally injured
and four other persons badly injured
in a auto collision which occurred
south Of Arlington Sunday afternoon
just before the big storm. The acct
dent took place at -Four Corners
seven miles south of Arlington. Sol,
gard in a Foord was travelling east
rapidly in hopes of getting home be-
fore the storm struck. In the car
were Mrs. Sojgaard, and Mr.. and Mrs.
MAIDS Larson and baby daughter. A
St%udebaker, driven by G.. S. Evans,
well known Clark banker, was travel
ing north rapidly and was also hurry
ing from the storm. He was accom-
panied by his wife and four children.
The cars collided, both being badly
smashed and the occupants thrown
out. Mr. Sojgaard was killed al
most instantly. Mrs. Sojgaard sus-
tanned compound fractures Of both
limbs, a compound fracture Of one
ARM, and severe internal injuries.
Mrs. Larson and the baby YER Sc
verely injured. Mr.. Evans suffered a
broken collar bone and two broken
ribs. His son, Clark was badly bruised.
Mrs. Evans and the children in the
back seat escaped without injury.
The injured were rushed to the
Volga hospital for treatment. The
Ford car caught fire after the accident
and was burned.

LESS DANGER OF RUST.

With more than 5000 barberry BUSH
es found and destroyed during the
month of July and a total of approx
imately 5000 bushes to be found and
destroyed by the end of October,
South Dakota farmers will have every
reason to feel that the small grain
crops Of the state will be much less
likely to suffer from severe rust at
lacks in future years, says Lynn D.
Hutton, state leader Of the barberry
eradication work. But the state will
never be free Of rust epidemics until
the last rust-spreading barberry Is dug
and burned, he predicts.
A federal appropriation of $3.50, 900
became available July l for barberry
eradication work in the wheat growing
states. South Dakota received $780,
$50 from this appropriation, as a re-
suit of which Is field assistants were
employed to make a farm to farm sur
vey of the tier of counties from Bon
Homme to Faux. All of the counties
of the state east Of this tier had pre-
viously been surveyed. During the
month of July about two-thirds of the
territory lying between Bon Homme
and Faux counties was completed. In
this territory IS properties were found
with barberries upon them and a total
of 3,OS5 bushes were located and or
dered out.
In practically every instance where
the bushes were found before the
grain vas ripe the rust was worse in
the area nearest the bushes. In Faulk
county the wheat fields near an infect
ed bush were so badly rusted that the
entire stems and sheaths were covered
with the rust. In Dawson county,
south Of Mount Vernon, the evidence
of rust vas SO plain that two Of the
field men we're able to follow the in
lection to the bushes which had spread
it. On the other hand fields which
have been severely rusted in previous
years due to their proximity to bar.
berry bushes showed only general
traces of rust this year as a result of
removing the offending bushes last
fall.

have before me a page from Wal

cultural periodical published at Des
Moines, Iowa; founded by the father
of the present Secretary Of Agricul-
ture. 1t has in recent years been
under the management Of the Secre-
tary and his brother. The article is
entitled: as the Greenback Move
ment Coming Back" This will inter-
est you. Under the heading: Change
needed in money system" it says:
Fiat money has been adopted as al
most an official creed Of the Iowa
Farmers Union. Milo Reno, it's presi-
dent, is preaching the greenback gOs-
pei in a series of meetings over the
State. A similar attitude seems to be
taken by the Farmers Union Of Kan
sas. In the official publication Of the
Union on March 18th, the Editor says,
in discussing the bonus question::
"The business body is sluggish on
account of contracted credit and cur
rency. Why not stimulate it with a
little TRANSMISSION of circulating me-
dunn turned out by the government
printing press? Initiation is far better
than Reputation either of debts or the
intangible obligations that we 1--WE to
the patriot soldiers who offered all
they had in the interest of liberty and
civilization"
Further on the article continues:
Undoubtedly there is a strong move
ment' toward fiat money but this as
yet has hardly reached more than a
minority of the farmers. Practically
all of them want a higher price level
and most are entirely u~nconcerned as
to what method is used to bring it
back. If the present financial sys-
TEN will not bring this result about,
the farmer is prefectly willing to take
steps to put the present system in the
junk heap and create one that will
serve his purpose"
In times Of stress and depression it
seems to be the usual thing to waltz
out again old economic theories that
have long ago been tried out, found
wanting and thrown into the lumber
room of history.
Money and capital are confused.
Money money" Sounds good and it is
If it. is sound and based upon the
actual needs of trade. But, If incon-
vertible and issued on fiat, it is a de-
fusion and a snare. If money made
a people prosperous, Russia would be
the most prosperous place in the world
today.
