DANGER OF BRIGHT LIGHTS

We used to read of dangers of the
bright lights on the city's great white
way where human moths were attract
ed and destroyed, but now we have
them at home.
The glaring headlight on automo-
biles is becoming more dangerous as
roads are graded. For many yards
another driver facing these bright
headlights cannot see the road, and
frequently drive off the grade, with
many times serious results. Laws
are supposed to protect the lives OF
citizens-but like in many other cir
cumstances and experiences of life.
the law of common sense is better
than statutory requirements. One
remedy is possible, stop your own car
on yCur side of the grade until the
glare passes.

MODERATE YIELDS OF GRAIN

Threshing machine reports from
shocked fields are coming in, and ind
icate a wheat return of eight to fif-
teen bushels, which leads local experts
to an average estimate of about ele-
ven bushels, which is not far from q
u. S. average. In days gone by,
with prices near a dollar per bushel,
this would have been considered a fair
return But today the farm bureaus
and grain experts who break into pub
lie print, tell US that it costs from
$1.05 to $1.15 per bushel to produce
wheat on a ten or eleven bushel yield.
This may largely account for the
further fact, as now stated in state
papers, that this year South Dakota's
corr crop is three to five times larg-
err than her wheat acreage.
The oats crop so far reported is
running from thirty to forty bushels
and the barley from eighteen to thirty
bushels.
The county's orr crop is one of the
best ever grown, and the acreage y
perhaps the largest in the county's
history. Two or three strips have
been injured by hail, but some of that
has recovered considerably and will
yield more than was at first thought.
Alfalfa is a very good crop, but wild
hay is short. Potatoes and vegetab-
les are good.

PAINTING MOTHER FALLS ON
AND SMOTHERS BABY

Alcester, Aug. 20-Falling in a
faint upon her little baby and smother
ing it to death was the distressing
experience of Mrs. Archie Cornish Of
this city.
The baby had a coughing spell ans
the mother took it and started for
the kitchen to give it some warm
water. In some Mariner the mother
fell, either tripping on a rug or fall
ing in a faint, falling on the child.
When the mother recovered the lit
tie one had been smothered and life
was extinct.
This was the only child of herself
and husband.

FALL FLOWING POPULAR

As the ground is in good condition
for it, there is more fall blowing be-
ing done in this section of the state
than ever before. If this becomes d
general custom, another change will
follow, and that is the stacking of
small grain as soon as harvested. At
present a large per centage of farms
shock their grain, and then a~nxiously
rustic about for a machine to thresh
it. Those who stack can fall pillow
and await the thresher's arrival.

THE .GE.OLD ONE TERM IDEA

Sioux Falls Argus Leader-Senator
Cummins of Iowa says that the con
stitution of the United States should
be amended, limiting the president to
one term. He says the cares and
worries of one term are enough to
break down the man of average
strength. Still four years is too
short. An ideal plan would be, if a
change is to be made, to lengthen the
term to six years with the president
not eligible to a second term. This
would do much to eliminate politics
and we believe to give the people bet
ter service.

PARKING AUTOES

The automobile traffic OH Miller's
Main Street has become so great on
Saturday nights that traffic cops are
at i~ntersecting streets. The
parking rules should also be enforced.
Some drivers run their cars in to the

Guilty in getting out. They should
all go in on one angle, so that any a
can back out.

NOISY

The fellow who invented the auto

Memorial service was in progress. An
