Flowing Wells
in Hamlin County

Castlewood, Aug. 10-Acocrding
to biologists, this (Hamlin) county
was supposed to be outside the main
artesian beft of South Dakota, but
nevertheless, another flowing we'll
has just been struck in the county,
this being on the Rowe Ching farm
and making four such wells which
now have been struck in the county.
The water in the latest well was
struck at depth of 125 feet. The
flow is a strong one and will be am
pie for domestic and stock purposes
on the farm.
The striking of these flowing
wells indicates that If Hamlin coun-
ty is outside the chief artesian belt,
it has an artesian belt of it's own.
The ease with which water can be
struck is proving of great benefit to
the farmers of the county

NORTHWEST IN
NEED OF CARS
SOUTH DAKOTA WILL FEEL RE-
SUIT or TIL ESHORTAGE
WITHIN 30 DAYS.

st. Paul. Aug. 10-The most Sc
rious shortage of cars for the move
ment of grain in recent years is
threatening in the northwest and is
already being felt although the har-
vest has barely started.
This situation was divulged today
at conference held by o. p. B. JAG
OLSON, railroad and warehouse COM
missioner, with representatives from
South Dakota and representatives
of the shippers from Minneapolis
st. Paul and Duluth.
j. w. Baish, South Dakota rail-
road commissioner, declared that
South Dakota crop is even heavier
than in 1918 and that indications
are that severe shortage of cars will
be felt in that state in 80 days un-
less the interstate commerce COM
mission inaugurates a program at
once to meet the states needs.
Commissioners Jacobson declared
that the situation is even more
alarming in Minnesota. The short
age for hauling grain, he pointed
out has already started I'm this state
with one complaint received from
the Farmers Elevator Co. at Bige-
low, Mimi, that the elevator there
is crowded to capacity and that the
grain is threatened with damage by
heating. o. F. Johnson, manager of
the elevator, declared in a communi-
trains of empties have passed
through the station, but are being
sent to the docks to haul coal.
The conference estimated that ap-
proximately $4,000 cars will be
needed in the northwest at once for
potato shipments alone. many
cars will be needed for graf ship
ment the committee could not asti-
mate until Frank Milholian, North
Dakota railroad commissioner, ar
rives here Thursday. At that time
another conference will be held be-
tween the three state commissions
ers who will outline course of ac-
ton to secure aid from the inter-
state commerce commission.
Mr.. Jacobson announced that fol
lowing the conference Thursday one
or more of the commissioners would

NEW HOSPITAL
POLICY READY
TO TAKE UP PLANS
CONCERNING DISABLED VETS
WITH THE PRESIDENT.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 10-New
policies of disqualification for dis
abled veterans of the world war are
to be taken up at once with Presi-
dent Harding, Director Forbes of the
veterans bureau has announced to-
day after an inspection OF nearly
ali of the veterans hospitals in the
country.
The director said he had become
convinced that what the tubercular
and mental patients needed most
were some other kind of institu-
tions than hospitals. About 65 per
cent of the tubercular hospita lin
mates, he said, are walking patients
who, together with the mental cases,
would be better off elsewhere than
in the atmosphere of hospital.
Mr.. Forbes declared he would
suggest to President Harding the
advisability of turning some of the
present hospitals into training cen
ters for quiescent tubercular pa
tients and service men suffering
from mental ailments. He said he
had personally investigated some
02,000 service men i'm hospitals and
their principal worry was that when
they left the hospital to take up re-
Mobilization training they would
lose their compensation as temper
arily totally disabled. He announc-
ed he would suggest to the president
taht provision be made to enable
service men entering training cen
ters from hospitals to retain their
status as temporarily totally dis
abled.
Mr.. Forbes announced that all
the sites for hospitals under the
Langley bill had been decided upon
and that work would begin within
80 days upon the ten new institu-
tions to be situated in various parts
of the country. The program, he
added, would cost approximately
$14, 100000.

BANKERS MUST
GO To PRISON
BUNDRIDGE BROTHERS OF MO-
BERLY, MO-, GIVEN SENT
ENCES FOR WRECKING
BANK.

Moberly, Mo-, Aug. 10-"It's hell
to play losing game" said Walter
Bundridge, formerly president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank here
which he wrecked
And the extent of his losing was
made Definite He was sentenced to
serve 10 years in the penitentiary
for embeZzlement. His brother,
Verne, formerly cashier of the bank,
was sentenced to serve five years.
Both entered plea of guilty to
three counts each on grand jury in
dictment of embezzlement The
sentences were announced by Judge
A. w. Walker in the Randolph coun-
ty circuit court. Walter Bundridge
received his sentence with gay
smile, Verne betrayed no emotion.
Verne Bundridge was arrested
when the bank was closed and was
released on bond. When subsequent
investigation revealed the enormity
of the fraudulent operations he was
rearrested and held, for he could not
obtain bond. Bond was fixed at 81
for every dollar of forgery charged.
Walter Bundridge could not be
found until June 81, when he sur
rendered himself at Moulton, Ia, to
be brought back to face the charg-
hes. The gay banker was broken in
spirit then. He had tasted the lone
someness of a fugitive and found IL
bitter
Il would rather spend the rest of
my life in the penitentiary making
friends with the convicts than hid
ing from town to town" he said.
The meeting of the brothers al
the county Jail at Huntsville was a
pitiful one according to the Jail au-
thorities. Walter broke down com
pletely. and Verne stood calm and
silent, but the tears rolled from his
eyes as his brother was taken away

Kill Rats by
Poison Gas

Ashton, Ia, Aug. 10--Lyon coun-
ty has become so badly infested
with the dreaded rat menace that
every way possible has been used to
exterminate them. The latest and
most novel scheme used by the
farmers is TO gas the fast becoming
menace. The new system is by
means of attaching hose to the
tractor or automobile exhaust and
sending them through the gas route.
Thousands are now being killed by
this method. One farmer reports
that he is now getting them by the
bushel.
