This phenomenal industrial
velopment has been primarily dls
to the South's rapid utilization u
cheap water power, and the Writ a.
linking together of utilities int ;
"super-power zone" now be.ass
advocated in New England ~
necessary tosoffset the advantages
enjoyed by Southern manufaclar,
ers.
Electrical energy is now being
utilized by Southern mills to ths
extent of more than 5000, 600
horse power annually as against
3, 100000 ten years ago. If tfr
present rate of industrial expan-
sion is to be kept up, however,
new sources of power must be
brought into this system, since {
shortage of more than one bill
lion kilowatt hours is already pre-
dictsd by experts within five years.
In the super-power zone plan
for the South worked by govern
ment engineers in 1921, the 900 4
900 horse power available at
Muscles Shoals, form the principe
reservoir of electrical energy to
be drawn upon in future expan-
sioE-. If this power is diverted
to other ussS, in the creation OF
vast industrial city on the Ten

boring states will have to find new

The scene. at the mouth of the mine
late tonight is described as pitiful.
Frantic women and crying children
lAFe waiting for word of their loved
ones. Orders were given to remove
the injured first and an announce

early tomorrow morning to do this.
Identification will be pushed as
soon as possible to relieve the an

AS fast as the crews become tired
and worn out fresh volunteers and
I there is large number of these,
rush up anxious and willing to take
their places and these continued as
the night wore on.
1t is believed by those who have
studied the explosion that it was
caused by broken electric circuit as
[ a result Of runaway train of the
4 trip cars.
Offers of assistance have reached
mine officials from every city and
town within a radius Of many miles.
People are fiocking in and all are
anxious to do something for the an

of the disposition of western Thrace
came definitely before the powers to-
day when Ishmet Pasha presented to
the commission of military and ter

Of the territory embraced wi,hin her
frontiers of 1913.
Former Premier Venzelos, Of
Greece, immediately opposed the
claim and was supported in this con-

Rumanians. This combination favors

COMMERCIAL CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS
GEO. p. SEXAUER is NAMED TO
SUCCEED G. j. FLITTiE
AS PRESIDENT
GOOD ROADS IS THE AIM OF CLUB
Donating $500 Toward Building a
Good Road Across River
Southwest Of Bookings

Six regular directors of the Com
mercial club were elected at the regu-
lar meeting of the club held last week
to fill the places of the six whose
terms expired. The six members who
were elected six months ago remain
on the board until the end of the year.
The full membership of the board is
therefore u. The directors elected
were A. F. Grimm, Geo. p. Sexauer,. F.
w. Heintz, Fred Cole, r. w. Radeke
and G. J. Flittie. On Monday evening
the board met and elected officers for
the coming year. The honor of presi-
dent went to Geo. p. Sexauer, vice
president A.. F. Grimm, secretary
John Alton and treasurer A. e.
Boyum.
The retiring president, G. J. Flittie,
made decidedly good during his term
of office and everyone was pleased
that 81 able a as Mr.. Sex
auer was chosen. The club has &C
complished much during the past year
in a quiet way. Good roads has been
the first consideration of the club dur
ing the last year and the same policy
is to be continued during the coming
year.
At the present time the club is in
terested in a road project southwest
of Bookings which when completed
will provide a passable road across
the Sioux river during vel seasons.
The territory southwest of Brookings
is periodically cut off entirely from
this city, sometimes for months at a
time. A high grade is being built on
this road at the present time by the
township board. The Commercial club
is donating $500 toward the construc-
tion of the road. A good road reach
ing into the rich territory but a few
miles southwest has been one of the
greatest needs Of the community and
the way the Commercial club and
township board have worked to
gether in accomplishing this result is
to be greatly commended.

HARVESTER CROP
IS UNDER WAY
GREATEST CORN AND POTATO
CROPS IN HISTORY ARE
MATURING
DESTRUCTIVE HAIL MISSED BR0OMhGS
Corn and Potato Acreage in South
Dakota Greatly Increased
This Year

From all present indications Brook
ings county will harvest the greatest
crop in it's history this year. Better
corn was seer and this is the
principal crop Of this county. The
acreage this year is larger than ever
before. It's condition leaves nothing
to be asked for. Oats is the next
largest in acreage and while much Of
it is quite short, due to dry weather,
it will yield an average of better than
80 bushels to the acre. Harvesting
of oats and other small grain crops
is now under way, some farmers hav-
ing completed harvesting. Potatoes
promise to bring a yield that will *
coed in value all other crops grown
in this county. Thousands of acres in
this county are put into potatoes and
their condition is excellent, promising
an average yield of 80 bushels to the
acre.
Hail, which has done much damage
in neighboring counties, has been
steering shy Of Brookings county.
Slight damage has pee reported from
small areas in the county but it is
not considerable. Persons who have
travelled about the country are unani-
nous in saying that they have ne
where seen crops which looked better
than in Bookings county and only a
few places where the crops were as
good.
The outstanding features Of the
crop report issued by the United
States bureau of agricultural econom-
les that especially concern South d.
kota, are that cor shows an increase
in acreage from 3,926,00 acres in
1921 to 1850, 900 acres this year. The
prospect on July 1 was for a 31.6
bushel yield per acre or a production
of 127, $50, 900 bushels for the state
as compared with 125, 632, 900 bushels
in 1921. The spring wheat crop has
suffered a decline Of approximately 7
per cent during the month of June,
due to the semi-drouth conditions
which have been prevalent in many
regions and the consequent thinness
Of stand on the ground and somewhat
short heads. The more eastern and
especially the southeastern counties
show damage from this couse more
than other portions of the state. Oats
now show a prospect Of 26 2-3 bushels
pc racre which causes a decline Of
nearly 5000, 900 bushels during June.
The areas mentioned above in regard
to spring wheat show even a more
damaged oat crop, many fields headed
out when from 6 to 10 inches in
height and only too many fields will
be difficult to harvest because of the
extreme shortness Of growth. In much
of the south and eastern areas Of the
state where drying weather obtained
the oat crop was rapidly coming into
maturity toward the end Of June and

MRS. MEESTER
ELECTROCUTED
IN CELLAR BRINGS IN
SLANT DEATH
EIGHT CHILDREN ARE LEFT MOTHERlESs
Clothing in Flames and Hands
Burned to Cinder

A tragedy surprising anything in
the annals of the city, occurred last
Friday evening at 9:15 p. m. when Mrs.
John Meester was instantly killed
when she came in contact with an
electric light wire in the basement of
her home. No one knows exactly
how the accident occurred but the fam.
lily believe she was bringing some
empty fruit Jars down cellar and
grasped the drop light to turn 1t on
at the socket. The light cord was
hanging on a nail and the insulation
worn off in places. The floor in the
cellar was damp. When found about
five minutes later she was lying ON
the floor with the wire grasped In
her hands and her clothing In flames.
The first thought that anything
might be wrong came to the family
an aeroplane overhead, which seemed
to come from the basement. When
they threw open the door, all they
could see was flames and smoke.
Acting on the spur Of the moment
they threw down a bucket of water
to subdue the flames. This only made
the electricity flow with greater ease.
The electricians who investigated
the scene of the accident stated that
220 volts was the full load on the
wires that killed her. 1t was consid.
cred unusual, however, that such low
voltage should cause such instaneous
death and should result in such severe
burns.
Mrs. Grace Wakes Meester was
born December q, 1882, in Grundy
county, Iowa, and was married to
John Meester March 20, 1901, In Lyon
county, Iowa, being the mother of
eight children, seven of whom are liv-
ing: Grace, Harm, John, Lena, Mary,
Ike and Rose June. The funeral serv-
ice was held from the Methodist
church Of which she was a member,
on Tuesday afternoon, and attended
by hundreds of friends, neighbors and
relatives. Interment was made in
Greenwood cemetery. To the be-
reaved husband children and broth
ers and sisters the sympathy of the
community is extended.

COUNTY AGENTS MEET HERE

Six county extension agents of the
in grain grading at State college dur
ing the past week as a part of the
Know Your Own Wheat" educational
campaign which is being carried on
in North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa this year. The purpose of the
school was not to make grain inspec-
tors out Of the county agents, but to
familiarize them with the factors
which go to make up the different
grades in wheat SO that they in turn
might carry this information to the
farmers in their respective counties.
The campaign, 1t is expected, will re-
suit in the planting OF more pure seed
and a greater effort to secure the
eradication OF weeds from the small
grain crops in these counties.
r. r. Saunders, a federal grain
supervisor from Kansas City, vas in
charge OF the school. Grading equip
ment was furnished by the division
Of markets Of the department Of agri-
cultures bureau OF economics. County
agents who attended the school were:
Percy Smith, Sphinx county; r. r.
Buchanan, Roberts; Roy E.. Smith,
Grant; w. F. Broich, Campbell-Mc-
Pherson; E. H. Aicher, Hand; and G..
ID. Sayler, Lyman. MI. Saunders will
remain in the state for at least three
months to work with these county
agents in holding county wide and
community meetings for farmers, ele-
vator managers, and others interested
in knowing the factors which enter
into grain grading.
Grain grading equipment is being
furnished to each of these county
agents by the division of markets for
Unconstitutional purposes only; that
is, to show farmers how grain is
graded and not to do actual grading.
