Little Boy Is
Mangled by Dog

Viborg, May 20-The 4-year-old
son of Nels Christensen, living on a
farm near here, was attacked and
badly mangled by stray dog and
had a narrow escape from death. The
dog several days before followed
Christensen home from town and had
been staying about his place, being
apparently very friendly.
The day of the attack on the little
boy a hired man was planting corn
at some distance from the house.
When part way across field the dog
ran up to him and he noticed that
its mouth was bloody, but supposed
it had killed a rabbit.
Upon reaching the end of the field
the hired man found the little boy
lying on the ground unconscious as
the result of having been mangled
by the dog. A physician found the
littble boy had been badly lacerated
on the arms, legs and about the head.
Twenty-four stitches had to be taken
to bring the wounds together.
The teeth of the dog had torn
great gashes clear to the bone in sew
eral places, and when the boy be-
came unconscious the dog evidently
believed he was dead and left him.

LABOR SHORTAGE IS
PRACTICALLY OVER
ENOUGH HERE NOW TO HANDLE
FARM WORk-EXPECT NO
HARVEST DIFFICULTY.

Pierre, May 2O-Although the un-
employment situation throughout
the east and in the cities of the
middle west continues to be a grave
problem this spring, there have been
scarcely enough farm laborers in
South Dakota to perform the sea
sons work, according to Frank NJ.
Byrne, state commissioner of agri-
culture.
In fact, Mr.. Byrne declared, few
weeks ago the question of finding
farm help was quite serious one,
Several county agents had applica-
tions for farm help which they
could not supply and several of them
requested the agricultural depart
ment to import some from the Twin
Cities or Omaha.
Gradually, however, without out
side help this condition righted it.
self. A fe wlaborers drifted into
the state, who in addition to those
already in the fields and aided by
favorable weather conditions We're
able to complete the small grain
sowing by about the normal time.
Right now there is a lull in the
demand for extra help. Corn plant
ing is in progress throughout the
southern and southeastern sections
of the state an dthis can easily be
taken care of by the available la.
Dor. AS soon as cultivating com.
mences there will be another big de.
mand.
Mr.. Byrne believes that while
some difficulty may be experienced
in certain quarters i'm obtaining
summer help the problem will no
be serious.

"Mr. President, may I respectfully

ana (Mr. Watson) that the trouble
with this sepulchral glee club, this
doleful chorus, of which the presi-

book Behind the Mirrors" are quite
as interesting and In some cases
quite as enlightening as those in the
first named work. From Behind the
Mirrors" take a peek at President
Harding and his cabinet:
President Harding-"Feebler than
Taft"
Secretary of State Hughes-"Mr.
Hughes mind is distinctly inferior to
Mr.. Harding's, which is one reason
why he never became president and
Mr.. Harding did"
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
THE shyest and most awkward
man who ever rose to power"
Secretary of War Weeks-"Nearer
akin mentally to the president than
any other member of the cabinet, but
with more industry and more capac
ity for details than his chief"
Secretary of the Navy DENLY
"Has a big heart and more enthusi
asm than he has self-command, judg-
ment and intelligence"
Secretary of the Interior Fall-"He
has the frontiersman's impatience
From his kind, lynch law springs"
Attorney General Daugherty-"In
physique, burly. thick-necked, his
eyes are unsteady, his face alternate
ly oval and minatory-I should say
he bluffed effectively-rough in per
sonality. His view of the world be-
ing highly personal. his instructive
idea of office is that it, too, is per
sonal, something to be used, always
within the law, to aid friends and to
punish enemies"

LEADING A DOGS LIFE

The Argyle (Wis) Atlas editor got
in bad recently to hear him tell it.
The story leads back to where his
little girl acquired possession and ex-
elusive ownership of a long-haired
pup of doubtful ancestry, and then
went visiting. With no one In au-
thority who knew how to raise a dog,
the scribe attempted to take up its
education where 1t had been dropped,
though hampered by lack of jurisdic-
tion. He found ii downtown ming
ling with kindred spirits that had
never known restraint. and carrying
on a very harmless but animated fir
tation-a case of love at first sight.
Hurriedly hanging his pencil on q
nail and sticking his scissors behind
his ear, the editor attempted to drive
his protege home when he found him
self going around in a circle, and he
could not tell whether he was chas-
ing the pup or the pup was chasing
him. After some violent exercise

tiles. during which a promoter of do

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertiseme
