GOVERNORS ACT
CAUSES DECLINE
IN PRICE OF GAS
(By The Associated Press)

PIERRE. s. D.. Aug. s.-Gasoline
may be purchased for 16 cents per gal
Ion at the state supply depot at Mitch
ell, South Dakota, today. This Is N
sharp cut in the price, reduction Of
ten cents per gallon, from the gaso-
line station prices prevailing through
out South Dakota.
The reduction is Governor McMast-
cr's answer TO the contention Of the
dealers that 26 cents per gallon for
gasoline is a fair price. The govern
o-'s action is directed against the
Standard Oil Company. which, he said,
is responsible for the high retail pric-
es. The governor contends that the
price charged for gasoline in South
Dakota amounts to highway robbery.

1t is because of their rigorous form
that the ballade and the rondeau have
established themselves by the side Of
the sonnet; and the lyrist who has
learned to love them finds in their
rigidity no curb on his power of self
expression. SO in the kindred art of
