"By virtue of this act Of interna-
tional law, significant alike for both
the Jewish people and the commune

Basic program has been fulfilled. The
Jewish people now has a mighty,
noble task to create it's home, not

the good of the land, for the welfare
of it's non-Jewish inhabitants, and for
the advancement of humanity.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

The harvesting Of oats, barley and
wheat is general in South Dakota and
the Southern half Of Minnesota. Rye
has been cut and a considerable O
tion threshed. The quality is the best
in several years and the yields are, in
most instances, exceptionally good.
In North Dakota and Northern Min
nesota most Of the rye has been cut,
while the harvesting Of oats and bar
ley will soon be under way.
Some early wheat in the northern
half of the spring wheat section is
ripe. Many Of the fields have taken
on a golden color which indicates a
different condition from the wheat
crops Of the past four or five years.
1t will be two weeks before the late
wheat in the northern districts will be
ready for harvest.
Black rust has almost ceased to be
a factor in South Dakota and southern
Minnesota. Many fields were badly
infected, but the wheat was so well
advanced that only a small percentage
SnOuld show any damage.
There is considerable black rust
throughout the Red River valley and
some wheat may be shrunken. This
also applies to southern North Dakota
as far west as Bismarck. The rust has
spread very slowly and the early
wheat is almost out of danger, but the
later whea might be affected, depend
ing upon weather conditions.
In the western half Of North Dakota
and eastern Montana there is very lit
tie rust. The weather during the past
week has been very favorable. Two
or three days were quite warm, but
there was a good breeze and this will
help the ripening. In the western ter
ritory the wheat has a wonderful
stand. The yields will probably be
heavy and at present a high quality is
indicated.
Oats and barley have improved re-
Gently, due to favorable weather for
filling.
The higher temperatures have
helped the corn, but in South Dakota
moisture is needed quite badly and
some Of the corn shows the affects of
the dry weather.
Condition Of flax is very satisfac-
tory. There are some spots where
moisture is needed, especially in South
Dakota. In North Dakota, conditions
are more favorable and as previously
reported the crop is betterAthan at this
time last year..

COME TO SEE SWIMMING POOL

T. P. Goldberg, j. w. Lawler and
c. w. Lance, city officials of Lake
Preston, made a trip to Brookings last
week for the express purpose Of look
ing over the fine swimming pool which
John Roberts has constructed and plac-
ed in operation in the east part of the
city. The city Of Lake Preston is con-
templating the construction of a swim
ming pool in their new city park and
these gentlemen were very much in
terested in seeing how Mr.. Roberts
experiment was working out. The sue
cess Of the pool was very apparent
and it is probable that the citizens Of
Lake Preston will soon be enjoying
the pleasure Of a free swimming pool.
looking city administration and they
are doing real things for the people Of
that city. A few weeks ago a move
ment was started for a combined tour
list park, baseball park and tennis
courts making it a general playground
for both grown ups and children. A
wading pool for the children has al
ready been constructed. A rest room
and dressing rooms will be built. With
the swimming pool in addition, it will
be a park and playground that cannot
be equalled anywhere in this part Of
the state.

AUGUST IS LAST DAY

Now is the time for all veterans
who feel that they are entitled to dis
ability compensation, or will be en-
titled to compensation later on, be-
cause Of disability due to service dur
ing the World War, to let the Vete-
rams Bureau know how they feel on
the matter. Now is the time, for
after August 9 this year, according to
the law, it will be too late.
Under the War Risk Insurance Act,
approved October 6, 1917, a veteran
who claimed a service disability had
to file his claim within five years
after discharge or resignation from
the service" This provision was
amended on August 9, 1921, so that it
is necessary to obtain a certificate
from the director Of the Veterans
Bureau within one year after dis
charge or resignation or one year
after the passage Of this amendatory
act, whichever is the later, "tO the
effect that the injured person at the
time of his discharge or resignation
was suffering from injury likely to re-
suit in death or disability"
Such being the law, it is necessary
to get such a certificate from the
director on or before August 9 next.
In cases where veterans have died
of service disabilities, parents or
other beneficiaries must file claims
within five years after the death Of
the veteran.
To get in under the provisions Of
the War Risk Act, as amended, all a
veteran must do is to write the direct
or Of the Veterans Bureau, Washing
ton, d. C, giving his name, rank, or
ganization, date Of enlistment. date
Of discharge, and circumstances
under which the disease or injury
was incurred.

GIRLS CAMP CLOSES

The annual camp for girls under the
auspices Of the Y. w. c. A. came to a
close last Friday. The camp was held
this year in the woods on the island
between Lake lakewood and Lake

STATE OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was slower. Industry feels eff
feet of mounting prices or absolute
scarcity Of fuel. Predictions Of strike

NORTHWEST FACED.
BY COAL FAMINE
}. J.. MURPHY is APPOINTED AS
FUEL ADMINISTRATORS FOR
SOUTH DAKOTA
MAKING SURVEY Of PRESENT SUPPLY
Questionaries Sent to Each City
Asking information as to
Local Conditions

The serious coal famine which
threatens South Dakota and the
northwest is receiving the attention Of
the federal and state government and
steps are being taken to avert suffer-
ing next winter as much as possible.
j. j. Murphy, member Of the state
railway commission, has been appoint
ed by the governor as temporary fuel
administrator Of South Dakota. He
has mailed out questionaires to the
mayors and chairman Of the town
boards calling on them to hold con-
ferences with local fuel dealers for
the purpose of securing exact informa-
ton in regard to the local needs and
the supply of coal on hand.
Questions are asked concerning the
number Of tons Of hard and soft coal
to supply the city for one year, the
number Of ton received in the city
since April 1, 1922, number Of tons re-
quired for power plants, manufacture
ings plants, schools, hospitals and
other institutions normally buying
coal in car load lots, and the names of
all Of the retail coal dealers in the
city. The questionable also asks for
the names of all public organizations
in the city. AS the replies are receiv-
ed they will be tabulated in order that
the entire situation as to any locality
or the state at large may be seen at a
glance.
The coal supply in B%rookings at the
present time is far below normal. Be-
cause Of the ou%trageously high prices
being asked at the docks, local dealers
are very hesitant about ordering. Fiji
teen dollars a ton for soft coal at the
docks is being demanded and the
freight out to Brookings would bring
1t over $40 per ton. Brookings dealers,
therefore, are naturally reluctant to
Law in a supply Of this high priced
commodity which is sure to drop in
price a soon as the strike is settled.

salary vanished and himself under the
necessity Of hustling continuously to
keep the supply from stopping. Well,
the farmer must keep huStling too, but
while doing so, he can't lose sight Of
the fact that his partners are always
on the job lending a helping l;srd,
and should he want to visit the parks
or the benches in his automobile dur
ing the ripening season. Cd Dime

MERlWETHER LEWIS DEATH.

Query: What is the date OF the
death of Merriwether Lewis, leader
of the Lewis and Clark expedition
{1sO3- 1907 through what is now
Montana? What were the eircum-
stances of his death?
1t has been said that Captain Meri-
wether Lewis was murdered October
S, 1900, in a roadhouse of questionable
reputation located on the military trail
near the present Nashville, Tenn. This
explanation of Captain Lewis death
was never accepted by President
Thomas Jefferson, with whom Lewis
had been associated as private secre-
tary and who. as president, appointed
Lewis to take charge of the north
western expedition. President Jeffer-
son said in his writings that Captain
Lewis committed suicide while in a
demented condition, and this deed was
done while Lewis was alone In Grind
er's Stand, roadhouse on the Natehez
trail
According to jefferson, Lewis was
subject to hynochondriac conditions
which he had inherited from his father

WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

THE purchase of the American
Brass company by the Ana
conda company is probably only
one Of the instances where inpell-
ing forces are introducing a situa,
ton into industry. That's where
the west begins turning its re-
sources Of raw material into the
finished products Of commerce
The movement started some years
ago in the manufacture Of flour in
Montana and blankets in Utah and
Oregon. Business conditions in
terrupted. High costs Of trans
portation and larger western mar
kets have given and are giving
new life to the tendency. There are
other natural elements working
In passing industrial review at
tcntion is directed to the fact that
the world consumption Of oil has
reached 700,O0O,oO0 barrels and ex-
perts say this will go to 100000
600 barrels in five years. While
other nations are struggling to
corner the oil supplies of the world
the fact remains that our country
is producing 20 per cent Of the to-
tai. Capital by the millions each
month is searching for new oil
wells in all the possible producing
territory from Mexico to Alaska.
The west also has 90 per cent OF
the potential hydro-electric energy
of the world and capital is turning
more and more attention to that.
The west has riches in natural re
sources of timber, oil, mines, and
undeveloped agricultural lands
reaching into hundreds Of millions.
Who is SO blind he cannot see
that the west is to have the future
wealth and manufac turing power
Of the country?
With numbering, irrigation, power
development, shipping, sugar fac
tories, precious metals, potash,
fisheries, fruit growing, stock rails
ing, and agriculture going forward,
who can over-estimate the resources
of the west.
There is no statae to which COM
ment Of this kind applies more
thoroughly than to Montana. If
the whole trans Mississippi coun-
try will strive to produce and save
we need not worry about prosper
