Hat Into Ring For
Governor

Mitchell The first gun in the
state political campaign was fired
today when Lieutenant Governor
Carl Gundcrson of Mitchell, annou-
need his candidacy for the rcpubli-
can guhernational nomination at
the statewide primary next fall.
MY chief purpose" declared Mr..
Gunderson, is TO carry out the ag-
rlcultural program upon which !
have been working for several yea
rs. realize that this program can
not be accomplished by South Oak
ota alone but it must be done alo-
ng the line already agreed upon
bm the several grain growiny stat
es in the northwest.
However, if this state is to sha-
re in the benefits of this propram,
it is necessary that South Dakota
do its full share and it is because
as governor | could cooperate effec
lively toward the full realization Of
the plan that | am becoming a can
didate for that Office

The contracting parties are

The bride having grown to woman

from that given at previous perfor-
mances and was pronounced by
many who have witnessed previous
shows to have been a better show
than ever.
Fash and every member of :he
company worked hard and are de-
serving of a great deal of credit
for the able manner in which they
carried through the entire show,
each in their parts acting just like
professionals, even though for The
greater number of the company
this was their first experience or
the stage. The talking parts ant
local gags created amusement il
each and every performance, and
the gong numbers were greeted
with rounds of applause, and the
work of the end men kept the aud,
ience amused all the time, and
each of the afterpieces presented
were handled by the various CHAR,
acters in a manner that kept the
audiences roaring with laughter
all the time.
Frank l.. Hafner, Carl H. Pal
mer and Raymond Shroll acted a
end men and they each kept up !:
constant stream of funny worl
hat left not an idel moment while
the troupe was on the stage. The
rube solo work by Carl II. Palmer
was also OF exceptional quality.
The other members of the circlt
who did excellent work were Elme
Il. Holmes, VIM. Parch. Geo. Hawk
ins, Lowell Engelen,. Wilfred Good
in. Floyd G.. Coye, Morris +. Adel-
stein and Harold Woodruff, and
they all took to the blackfacc stuff
in a grand manner. Flagg0P. Car
isle occupied the center of the
stage as Interlocutor and filled
the place with credit to himself
and to the company.
No small part of the desirabillty
of the performances was the excel
lent music furnished by the Mino-
tJcl Orchestra, and the way in
which they blended their playing
into the work of the circle. The
Orchestra was composed of Roy r.
White, Piano, Olin McCrorey, vio-
lin, Ted Klungseth, cornet and Har-
old Woodruff, traps, and their play
ing for the show and the dances
which followed met with high ap-
proval and received many compli-
ments.
Taken altogether we believe that
the Darktown Minstrel show was
one of the best home-talent attract
ions ever presented west of the
Missouri river, and wherever the
show was presented there has been
request for a return engagement,
a fact that pays the highest compli
ment possible to the desirability
and cleanliness of the show and the !
entire troupe.

MONOPOLY ON COAL
Pennsylvania Produces Practically All
Anthracite Used In This
Country.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.--Anthracite
coal is found in a comparatively small
part of Pennsylvania. No CONNER
cially worth while amount of anthra-
cite is found in any other part of the
United States. 1t is confined to nine
counties in an area Of about 496
square miles in the northeastern quar-
ter of the state. Five OF the nine
counties yield more than 90 per cent
of the annual production.
The coal is found at all depths
ranging from outcroppings on the
surface TO about 1400 feet under
ground 1t is found under cities, rivers
and other streams.
There are more than 800 anthracite
collieries employing approximately
$4,000 men and boys. OF these about
10000 are skilled miners who blast
the coal. These men hold certificates
obtained after two years experience
in the hard coal mines, under the
mining laws of the state.

LEAGUE IS ON TRIAL
Present Greco italian Crisis Regarded
as Turning Point in Life of
World Association.

BY The Associated Press
Geneva, Sept. 1.-The league of ma
tons Is at the crisis of its career.
This was the feeling of all the dele
gates to the fourth assembly and the
council members as they heard this
morning the news that Greece had
decided to appeal to the league to
settle her differences with Italy.
The general opinion is that tho
league is on trial.
The procedure to be followed will
be for the secretary-general once In
possession of the Greek statement Of
the case to call upon Itatly to file her
reply. All this will require time.
and 1t was not anticipated that the
council would be in position to
take up the question for several days.
Much depends also upon the atti-
tude assumed by Italy. It is UNDER
stood that Italy is opposed to league
intervention but what shape her OPP
position will take or how 1t will be
formulated are unknown at present.
