SOUTH DAKOTA TO
NEED MORE RELIEF
Farmer Won't Get Enough
Out of Crop to Buy
Coal This Winter

Hecla, S. D., June 28.-The main
thing that is happening here now
is that Nature is working hand In
glove with Roosevelt in seeing to
it that there will not be too much
wheat to spare for those without
any purchasing power. Old Sol Is
burning up the wheat and other
grain AID taking the gardens Tor
good measure.
I understand there were about
eight hundred families on relief IN
this county last winter and 1t IS a
paradise compared with some OF
the other counties. 1t is safe to
saw that this number will be
doubled or trebled next winter
ard a large number of the rev
ones on the relief rolls will be
farmers.
Last winter the farmers burned
corn for fuel but this year when
it is the only crop there is any
hope of saving it can not be useC
| for that purpose. It's a cincf
there won't be any cash will
which to buy coal either, excep

Editors Note: This is the
outlook under the New Deal
in Brown county, South Da-
kOta. ROOsevelt's acreage re-
duction plan is being carried
through with a vengeance and
farmers will have to live off
of relief next winter.
What have you had from
the New Deal? Millions of
farmers have been fooled by
Roosevelt. Many still are. The
only way we can convince
them is to show them what
conditions are all over the
country under the New Deal
and to explain to them HOW
they can improve their cOnds-

BANKER IS CAUGHT

Used Funds of Irrigation
District While Workers
Got Wage Cut
(BY M. W.

TOrringtOn, Wyo., June 28.-The
local banker, Z. +. Tibbett, has
recently been caught in a nasty
deal with the other commissioners
of the Goshen Irrigation District.
He used over $1,000 of District
funds for ten years or at least
long enough to save himself SILL
900 in interest. One of the other
Commissioners, Learner, was until
the last election, representative at
the State capital
This exposure explains one rea-
SON fop the fact that the workers
of this irrigation have been given
a cut of 30 cents per hour, why
the water rates for the farmers
are SO high and why the banker
can drive a fine car.

TRIED TO INTIMIDATE HOLI-

This same banker let it be known
that members of the Holiday

from his bank. This was easily
showed up to be merely intimida-
ton because every farmer knew he
would be glad to loan money to
any farmer who had anything to
put a plaster on.
The above case is now in the
hands of the government officials
but we have little faith that the
banker will get what he deserves,
He will no doubt be cleared of all
blame just as most other bankers
are.

Nickname of Tuckahoe
Traced to Aborigines

"Tuckahoe" is an old nickname for
the poor class of people living In
southern Virginia, says Pathfinder
Magazine. In some sections of the
South the term is practically syn
onymous with poor white" The word
itself is supposed to be derived from
an Indian word meaning globular and
originally was applied to various bull
bous roots used as food by the abort
gines In that region. Chief among
the edible dubious roots so designated
were those of the golden club or float
ing arum and the Virginia wake robin.
But the name also was applied to vir-
ginia truffle, a curious fungus growth
found under the soil in the southern
states bordering on the Atlantic. The
Indians and early settlers were fond
Of these truffles and generally they
located them by following hogs en-
gagged In roofing. In time the term
came to signify Indian bread and the
inhabitants of lower Virginia were
called Tuckahoes because their pow
erty compelled them frequently to re-
sort to Virginia truffles or Indian
bread for sustenance.

Queen in Old Scandal

Paris.-The necklace of 45 very

This necklace was the reason for
the public beating administered to the
Countess de la Motto. beautiful ad-
ventures, who was stripped in the
Place de la Bastille by the public ex-
ecutioner and whipped by order of the
queen.
The queens anger was due to the
fact that the countess had conspired
with the Due de Rohan and some jew
elers to persuade the queen to buy an
other necklace.
The story got about that the duke.
who was in love with Marie Antoinette,
was going to give the queen this neck
lace, a circumstance that led to the
belief that the Kings consort had
been too friendly with the duke. For
all this the countess was held respon-
sible and punished in the fashion Of
that time.
