BUSINESS GIRLS PICNIC

The Business Girls club will hold
their annual picnic Monaay evening
in the pine grove in the Eishback pae
ture. "A committee is preparing for
the lunch as they did last month, but
each girl is asked to bring her own
cup and spoon. Groups will leave
from the library beginning at six
o'clock. Any n who wishes, may
go directly without coming to the Ii
brary. Games and a good time for
all will be provided. One thing of
special interest will he the introduc-
ton Of a new game Market" which
has been planned by one of the club
members. This game is played with
croquet balls and mallets so any girl
who al provide herself with a ball
and mallet should do so.
In order that the committee may
know how many to provide for, it will

CORN HIGH

American corn is apparently gam
ing favor with our neighbors in other
parts of the world. The exports OF
corn says the Trade Record OF The
National City Bank of New YORK, are
now running at a rate which suggests
that the fiscal year 1922 may break the
record in the expectation Of this most
important Of our cereal crops, and
certainly in the sums of money which
II brings into the country. The March
exports of corr were %, 0 900 bushels
against 1900, 600 in the same months
of last year, and in the nine months
ending with March 80 5000 ,00O against
only SO, 900, 900 in the same months OF
the previous year, suggesting that the
total for the fiscal year 1922 may per-
haps surpass the banner year 1900,
when the corr exports were 2l3 600 900
bushels. while the value OF the 1921
exports is 1913, 900 900 against $4,000
600 in the former high record year
1900.
Even this big total of S93, 0O0, 900
worth of corn exported in 1921 does
not include that sent abroad in other
forms, for the cotton meal and flour
exported in 1921 was about three and
one-half million dollars in value, and
the glucose and corn sugar produced
from corr aggregated six and one-half
million dollars in value, carrying the
total export value of corn and its pro
ducts in 1921 above the 100 million
line, against less than 80 million dol
lars in the former high record year
1890. and an average of 45 million
dollars a year in the period from 1906
to the end Of 1920. This estimate Of
corn and it's products exported II
1921 does not attempt to include The
meats, for It is our big crop that makes
the United States the worlds bigges
producer and exporter Of meats.

We don't blame some Of the people

the city park proposition went down in
defeat over there a week ago last

JoHNsoN-M'cARTER CHARGES

Sioux City Journal-The charges
that there had been Implications in
certain Of the Liberty bond issues,
brought to the attention Of the house
of representatives ON Wednesday by
Representative Royal c. Johnson, Of
South Dakota, merely repeat charges
which already had been made by j.
". McCarter, formerly assistant regis
ter of the treasury. The substance Of
these charges was published in the
sioux Falls Argus-Leader Of April 10,
following the shakeup in the bureau Of
engraving and printing. The Argus
leaders account d~iscloses that Mr..
McCarter had brought the matter to
tha attention Of e. S. Johnson, then a
United states senator from South Da-
kota. in August. 1919. but that Sena-
tor Johnson had taken no action. Mr.
McCarter asserts that coercive meas
nras were employed to keep the mat

ter quiet, and finally unable to secure
support, he resigned his office. so
Disguised was he with the action OF
the Wilson administration in this case
that Mr.. McCarter actively supported
Mr.. Harding and the republican ticket
in the campaign Of 1920.
Mr.. McCarter was appointed assist
ant register OF the treasury on sep
TENDER /. 1915, and resigned on Aug
ust l, 1920. He is so years or age.
I.e has been states attorney and
county judge Of Edmunds county. He
was the democratic nominee for gov
ernor of South Dakota in 1914. While
in the treasury department he was a
candidate for election to congress on
the Democratic ticket from the Second
South Dakota district, in opposition
to Representative Johnson.
Mr.. McCarter affirms that he has
at various times submitted evidence
to support his charges to officials Of
the department OF justice. He de-
clares that dishonesty peryades not
alone in the treasury department, but
other departments; that while there
are thousands of fine men and women
in the government service, perhaps
80 to 95 per cent OF the entire number,
they dare say nothing; that 5 to 10
per cent are crooks who fear nothing;
that these crooks hold the most i'm
portant offices and override even
their superiors; that they are organ
lied and have their friends in con
gress; that they have no politics, but
change political color with every
change Of administration
1t appears from Mr.. Wilcox's ac-
count of the proceedings in the house,
as published in The Journal OF Thurs
day, that Mr.. Johnson relies in the
main upon the evidence of duplica-
tons in the possession of Mr.. McCar-
ter. Mr.. Johnson seems to have made
some Investigations on his w &C
count, but he was unable to give a
categorical reply TO an inquiry as TO
whether he had information support
ing a conclusion that millions OF du-
plicated bonds had been printed. Mr..
Johnson stated that he had not dis
cussed the matter with the present
secretary OF the treasury, and the
question will occur, Why has he not
done so? Mr.. JOhnson's recollection
that a colored taicab driver in Wash
ington had been discovered in pos
session of 100000 Of duplicated bonds
is hardly sufficient evidence upon
which to base the serious charges
which he makes. Mr. McCarter, how
ever, is better fortified, having in his
possession, according to his own state
lnents, photographs of letters, docu-
ments, exhibit files, etc, which sup
port his contentious.
The charges that Mr.. McCarter
makes are serious and damaging and
it is proper that they should be
brought to the attention Of the house
and OF the country. 1t would seem
the matter without an effort to get
at the truth, nor because the alleged
discrepancies occurred during a dem
|ocratic administration, but because it
is essential that the facts shall be de-
veloped. The country is entitled to
know whether there were bond dupli-
cations, and it is entitled to know
whether there are crooks in the treas
ury department. Charges so specific
and apparently so well supported as
are those preferred by Mr.. McCarter
must not be allows ed to go UNDECIDED.

CLEAN UF

This is the time of year when every
ness might be, should clean up his
home or store from cellar to garnet.
Start in the attic, carry out and de-
stroy or In other ways get rid OF all
old clothing, useless straw hats and
shoes and any accumulation OF litter
that has gathered during the winter.
Rake the yard up. burn all leaves and
loose paper, taking care that when
they are being burned they do not set
fire to nearby property. Leave no
oily rag around to set a fire by spon-
taneous combustion. If you have no
metal paper and litter burner, be sure
that after your fire you have put out
any Goals that might be lurking in
the ashes for fear the wind might come
up in the night and scatter them dur
ing the night and burn you or your
neighbor out.
The spring cleanup campaign re-
duces the fire hazard that increases
during the winter months through the
accumulation Of rubbish and other un-
necessary trash, and its removal and
destruction not only improves condi-
tions from the fire hazard tand-
point but from the health standpoint
and also adds to the appearance OF
the surroundings of the home or place
OF business. In destroying the rubbish
around your home you kill the breed
ing places of millions of flies that wall
otherwise haunt you or spread dis
ease during the hot summer
Town officials, civic organizations and
commercial clubs should take the In
~itiative and see hat the town from
end to end is thoroughly cleaned up
The success or failure of a clean
up campaign depends to a large ex
tent on the town spirit. A city beau
tiful movement was inaugurated ovel
a month & by the civic organizations
of Pierre and a great deal has beer
accomplished, and the same movement
can well be emulated by all the cite:
and towns in the state.

Miss Alice Robertson, the only

Ten WOmen's Organizations to
Conduct Booths Over

The sale of tuberculosis Christmas
