In what was classed as the fast

points the Freshmen held their own
and fought like a bunch of wild

Make Agreement For
Good Crops In State

Pierre. June 28.-South Dakota is
positively assured of good crops this
year under the terms of an agreement
between Doane Robinson, state his
%torian, and Charles III. Burke, United
States Indian commissioner.
On April 5 Mr.. Burke wrote the
state historian:
I will guarantee you that this will
be the banner year in South Dakota,
up to June 25. That is as far as I am
willing to be responsible for a sue
cessful crop. Maybe you will assume
the responsibility for the rest Of the
season."
Yesterday Mr.. Robinson dispatched
the following receipt to the Indian
commissioner:
Received of God and Charlie Burke
the crop Of 1922, in good growing
condition, and hereby agree to use all
diligence to protect II and turn II
back to the original directors on Aug.
1, 1922, unimpaired. wear and tear
excepted"
Thus 1t would appear that the
South Dakota farmer need have no
further worries. except perhaps the
disposal OF his crop and placing OF
the money derived from II.

Prisoners Make Escape
From Beadle County Jail

Huron.-The most unique Jail deliv-
cry in the annals of the state was pull
ed off here last night when w. A..
Strope, alais Walter Stroud, used the
furnishings of his cell to free himself
and two other prisoners, l.. Gardner,
held on a charge of grand larceny for
the theft of the James Patterson car
here a short time ago, and Earl Perry,
now being tried for adultery.
According to the testimony of other
prisoners in the Jail, as well as the
mute evidence left behind, Stroupe un-
screwed the wash bowl in his cell to
procure the heavy drain pipe. Then
he unfastened the heavy iron chain
which supports the bunk, and fasten-
ing the ends of the chain around two
bars of his cell with a bolt taken from
the lavatory, used the iron pipe as a
tourniquet and twisted the bars of his
cell loose. This gave him a space not
over 10 inches square through which
he crawled into the corridor.
Again making use of his %improvised
levers, he twisted the lock off the cell
housing l.. Gardner and Earl Perry,
freeing them. To again fasten the
tourniquet to the bars of his cell win
dow and twist two of them loose, was
ar easy matter, a rope made from the
blankets of their hunks furnishing the
means of escape. .

HOPE To PREVENT
FURTHER STRIKE
Labor Beard Hopes Strike Of Way Men
Can BE Prevented

Chicago, July members of the
United States railroad labor board,
whose interventions have twice fore
stalled the threatened strike OF rail-
way maintenance of wav employees,
expressed strong hope that today's
conference with officials of the union
would prevent maintenance workers
from joining the shopmen who walked
of their jobs last Saturday.
After more than two hours discus
sion today with Chairman Ben Hooper
and W. l.. McMenimen of the railroad
labor board, E. F. Cradle, president OF
the maintenance of way union, had not
yet decided to cancel the threatened
strike call to his AGO. 600 rail workers.
The conference adjourned at / p. IN.
for lunch with a settlement not yet
reached.
Strike orders, prepared for transmits
sion to the 1900 local unions of the
organization, were left in Detroit head
quarters when President Cradle and
other union officials left for Chicago t
attend todaQ's conference with labor
board members.
At the Joint conference before the
board last Friday Mr.. Cradle agreed
to hold the strike order in check until
yesterday.
Arrangements for today's meeting
were made yesterday by telephone, as
union officials completed the
of the strike vote by the maintenance
men and prepared to dispatch the
strike order to the locals.
Chairman Ben Hooper asserted that
government reports on fluctuations OF
the cost of living could be made the
basis of an immediate appeal to the
board by rail employees for wage adj
justments.
Union leaders said their only de-
mand was that the board hold up its
recent wage cuts pending an appeal.
The threatened strike OF mainten-
ance men is a matter of wages only.
They cast their ballots solely on the
question of accepting or rejecting the
recent wage slash of $50, 000, 900, where
as the striking shopmen, now out
lawed" by the labor board, had adj
d,tional grievances owe decisions af-
fecting overtime pay and working con-
ditions and the practise by some roads
of farming out shop work to contract
ors.
The vote of the maintenance men az
cording to announcement following
yesterdays meeting of the executive
council at Detroit, was 80 per cent
favorable to q strike. ?

of a barley loaf. He goes back to his
little army confident of victory. He
stands upon the regained height and,
looking down upon the camp fires OF
the mighty host below, he Is filled
with courage. That night the dream
of the Midianite soldier Is realized and
Gideon delivers his country from Its
enemies. Could surrounding be more
inspiring than these to Saul as he
stood looking down upon the camp OF
the Philistines? Behind him lay en-
camped 800. 900 valient men, in a
strong position, awaiting the mighty
conflict OF the morrow. But, In spite
OF his strong position and huge host
the inspired historian tells us that
"his heart greatly trembled." Taking
two men with him he passes down the
same slope and makes his way to a
village twelve miles from his army, to
inquire Of the witch" of Endor as to
what will happen on the morrow.
PROSTATE in the cave OF the witch, he
receives the announcement of his de-
feat, and goes back to his army with
all hope gone.
What a contrast between Saul's con-
dition and that OF Gideon! Saul with
300 900 men and Gideon 800. Saul's
heart trembling and Gideon's confident
and strong. Saul with hope gone be-
fore the conflict began. Gideon with
hope and expectation mounting higher
as the testing hour drew neal
On the morrow the Philistines swept
ND over Gilboa and drove the host OF
Saul to utter defeat. Saul and his
sons were slain and Israel became
yassals to the Philistines. We know
how Gideon, with his 800 men drove
the hosts Of the Midianites before him
and delivered his country out OF their
hands.
What was the cause OF the failure
of Saul and the success Of Gideon? 1t
is a question of the greatest moment
to us, both as individuals and as a
nation. But we need not go to the
philosophers for an answer 1t is on
the surface. 1t stares us in the face.
He must be blind who does not see 1t.
saul forsook God and his ways and
f, Gideon obeyed and followed Gods
ways . God did not forsake Saul. Saul
forsook God. And when individuals
or nations forsake God that hour they
begin the process of decay, and the
end is certain. II may be postponed
but II is sure to come. Judah stood
about one hundred and thirty-five
years after Israel had gone into cap
tivity, because they had some kings
who " did that which was right In the
sight of the Lord" But the heart of
the nation was not right. The change
was mostly outward reformation, so
that they easily and quickly returned
to their former mode Of life when a
king came to the throne who did that
which Is evil in the sight OF the Lord"
Regeneration produces tie true rafor-
Imation.
! Out from the cave at Endor and
down from Mount Gilboa comes a mes
sage to every individual and to the
nation. Turn away from God and we
may, like Saul, travel SO Ear that we
cannot get back in time to ave Us
from disaster. Whatsoever a man "a
nation) soweth. that shall Il also
reap"
Lord God OF Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget"

Next Year

One of the most successful Chautau-
u seasons, both from a financial and
entertainment standpoint, closed Mon

approximately 1900 spectators. The
company was accompanied by its own
orchestra, which gave a program Sun
day afternoon.
Polly of the Circus" was presented
on Friday evening by an able cast of
players, and drew an unusually large
attendance.
Among the musical numbers the
concert given Saturday evening by
Madame Dora De PHILIPPE, Chicago
Grand Opera star, was one of the best.
Madame De PHILIPPE has a clear So
prano voice, and Immediately won her
audience by her charming and grace
full manner. She was accompanied by
James O'Conner, who gave several
piano solos, rendered with exceptional
brilliapcy.
Frank G. Armitage was the delight
of the children and grown ups in his
slight of hand stunts, representations
and various other forms of entertain
ment.
Some very good lecturers had been
secured for the Chautauqua season.
Hon. Webster Davis, who lectured
Thursday evening on "a Square Deal
spoke under difficulties, the severe ell
ectric storm and rain, making it all
but impossible to go on. An excellent
and very interesting lecture "As A
Man Thinks" was delivered by Frank
w. Allen, editorial writer on the Kan
sas City Star. DR.. Martin Hardin of
Ithaca, N. Y. gave a very forceful and
convincing address Saturday evening.
Monday afternoon Abel Cantu deliv-
cred a very interesting and enlighten-
ing address on the subject of Mexico
and the Mexicans." At eight o'clock
in the evening the Junior Chautauqua
entertainment "a given by the chill
dren under the supervision of Miss
Clark. and was very delightfully."- rem
dered.
Howard Russell, assisted by Miss
Kathleen Reed, v%iolinist and Edith
Buckley, pianist, gave the evenings
entertainment which closed the sea-
son. ~
The C~hautauqua committee wishes
to thank everyone for the splendid
patronage received.

McCumber Beaten In N. D.
By Lynn ]. Frazier, MP.

Fargo, N. d., June 30.-Belated re-
ports trickled in today from Wednes-
days state wide primary in North Da-
kota, seemed to bear out early indica-
tions that Lynn j. Frazier nonparti-
san, had captured the republican SEN
atorial nomination by a majority >of
less than 10000 votes.
While Potter j. McCumber, the
states senior senator dropped behind
Frazier's in returns tabulated today,
reports from a number of the scatter
ing precincts, favorable to McCumber
tonight cut down to less than 1000 the
margin that separated them.
