That South Dakota, faced by a combination of deflating circumstances not likely to be repeated again in a century, during 1826. ha "In the first ten month of 1027 come back bo strongly that the whole commercial and banking world la amazed." is the statement of N. Crlll, slate secre tarv of agriculture. "Many people are unable to under stand how the financial conditions oi South Dakota could improve eo rapidly after a period that seemed discouraging to the greatest extent of our farming population." Mr. Crlll said.

A com bination of circumstances, such as will not likely occur again In a century. culminated in 1926. The farmers hud suffered from, the effects of the defla tion of the post-war period, upsetting land values and doubling their obliga tions as measured in the products which they raised. "This not only crippled the farmers of South Dakota, but those In every other agricultural state. Iiwk Disasters "Following this came the disaster of bank failures tying up millions of dollars on deposits, and worse yet, shattering the credit system of every Industry and farmers especially were obliged to sell cows and growing livestockto part with the real substantial basis of farm profits under the dire necessity of meeting obligations unu jiruviuiiig a jivjng.

"On top of deflation, loss of bank deposits and shattering of credit, came the crop failure of 1926. "Yet, In the face of these disasters, South Dakota, In the first ten months of 1927 has come back so strongly that the commercial and banking world is amazed. "Those who knew South Dakota did not expect anything else. Our great agricultural resources, the great productive power of the state gave us the assurance that soon conditions could be righted. Cites Instance "An Instance demonstrating the facts to be true, is cited from the state banking department; One bank In the northern part of the state, in the year 1926, was forced to suspend because of Inability to liquidate Its assets as rapidly as deposits were demanded.

This particular bank was reorganized through the agency of the banking department and in the reorganization procedure the assets that were not worth their full face value not permitted to be taken over by the reorganized bank and were charged and placed in separate account, to be handled by trustees for the benefit of creditors. Among the assets thus charged out wna a line of paper aggregating approximately $7,000. The maker of the paper was tl pwnor of an unusually large acreage of land. "Due to conditions affecting agriculture, however, the notes were considered to be of questionable value. Tho territory had had poor crops and the cost of carrying the land was in excess of what the owner could raise.

It appeared that there was probability that the owner would lose title to the land. Hence the $7,000 line of paper was considered doubtful enough that it was not acceptable to the banking department is an asset. The owner of the land, however, put In a crop of wheat in the spring of 1927 and this fall harvested a crop as the resulto winch he was able to pay the note which a year previously had been considered worthless or doubtful, and had, in addition to paying the note, enough money left to make a deposit of approximately J26.000.00." Genuineness of bank notes and rare stamps can be determined by comparing them with those known to be authentic, under a new quartz lamp recently produced In liana, Germany. 3 This I tha fifth of a aarlaa of stories at old tlma characters at Vermillion, written by Jamaa W. Fowler, special eorrespesdent to the Argua- Leader.

Vermillion, Oct. 29. Many high school boys, when they are ready to go to college, begin to look about for a Job to help pay the way; but Carl Bau-nvin, a graduate of the Vermillion high school tola spring, has reversed the usual order of things, for he matriculated at the State University this fall with a bank roll, big enough to defray the entire cost of a full college course, without the need to worry about employment to help carry him through, and without outside assistance from anyone. While Carl perhaps cannot be termed actually an old timer here, he really falls within that class for the. reason, as he says, he got here as soon as he could and ban lived hern all of his life.

Born In 1909 He was born In Vermillion. May 5. 1909, and attended the grade and high schools here. While in school he had no difficulty in making his grades, although he was a busy boy almost from the time he first entered the grades until his graduation from high school, in other work, In addition to his school courses. Incidentally It is no more than proper to state that, he found time to so far excell his fellow students In one branch that he was the contestant from Vermillion high school In the state bookkeeping contest in 1926.

He also had a leading part in various other school activities. It has never been all work and no play with him. The relation of his record Is not an attempt to preach a sermon, but it does serve the purpose of teaching a lesson by showing what can be and what has been accomplished by a bright boy of good habits who formulated a plan to earn and save and then carried it out. Was Newsboy His business by which he earned what he has accumulated was that of a newsboy. He started selling newspapers when he was but eight years old and he kept it up until he finished high school.

In the beginning he had SO customers as a nucleus for the business that he built up. He clearly remembers that his first deposit in a savings account was that sum of 3.60. That was the starter and that original deposit made the first month and the that were added to it from time to time on through the years, has never been touched except to be withdrawn to be put into some interest drawing He began with a set plan to make and save ail that he could without being miserly and be has adhered to the original purpose. His business grew and from a small start he increased his list of newspaper customers until he had 123 regular patrons when he quit this spring. He is modeBt and somewhat reticent when it comes to enumerating his worldly goods, but he has "in sight" a half acre of land, three lots in a rapidly growing residence section of the town, which are Increasing in value worth at a conservative estimate at not less than S8l)0.

He carries $2,500 endowment life insurance policy which will mature soon. There is more than one substantial resident here who admits that Carl Bauman has his paper for money loaned at a fair rate of interest. Was Ridiculed There have been some of the bovs and girls who have ridiculed Carl Bau1 man as a high school boy who peddled papers; but he has the net results to show for his efforts while they have nothing but the memory of a hollow laugh at his expense. Carl Is sitting on top of the world while the scoffers are out of school wondering where they will get a Job or depending for further schooling on their parents. Carl disclaims that there is anything wonderful about his accomplishment and Insists that any boy who is willing can do what he has done.

FARMER AT WILLOW LAKE OPERATES 4-B0TT0M PLOW Willow Lakes, Oct. 29. The first 4-bot-tom tractor plow pulled by IS head of horses ever in operation on a South Dakota farm is to be seen in the fields of Casper Thorson, well-to-do farmer of this community. This big team is be ing handled by a 13-year-old boy. Mr.

Thorson attended a big hitch demonstration put on In Clark county by the State college extension service and immediately started this big plow outfit. He owns and operates about 800 acres of -land of which 650 acres are under cultivation. The tying-ln and bucking-back system of hitching the big team is being used, enabling the boy to handle the entire outfit with one pair of lines. istl ofaU.

Lake County Gold Rush Recalled by A.P.Questionaire (Special to the Argus-Leader) Madison, Oct. 29 The question about the Lake county gold rush in the Associated Press daily feature "Know Your State" served to bring to light many interesting reminiscences among the old settlers of Lake county. Quite a number of persons In the city and county remember the occasion well.

It seems that Herman Luce, for whom Lake Herman was named, had come Into this part of the country during the early '70s and taken up a claim on the bank of Lake Herman wished to encourage further settling there. Ha thereupon craftily showed some gold bearing quartz and some broken rock not far from his farm which had a sparkle to it. For several weeks there was a great rush to the region before the hoax was exploded. It Is undoub tedly the cause of the settlement of Ijike county Immediately thereafter. Many who came lured by gold stayed to till the soil.

Mrs. E. W. Ketcham of this city recalls that her husband had staked out his claim a few months previously not far from the reported find and then returned for her to Fillmore county, Minnesota. They had visions of mines all over their property.

Captain H. P. Smith who had located near what is now Winfred saw the crushed rock which was shown but knew the Luces doubted the authenticity of the And. J. A.

Johnson, pioneer merchant of the county who is still doing business has been here since 1874, the very earliest of the settlers. He was living on the north shore of Lake Madison and says that men with hammers could be seen all along both lake shores and following the banks of the creek which connects them, diligently breaking rock. The ljuces cleaned up quite a fortune while the boom lasted for they were the only ones equipped to give food and shelter to the gold hunters. The Elks lodge of Madison ia to give a big golden jubilee in 1930 observing the 60th anniversary of the founding of the town of Madison in 1880. Reproductions of stories in early county history will also be featured and many new things are coming to light In connection with the story thus retold.

STATES MAY RECEIVE REVENUE FROM BANKS St. Paul.

Oct. 29. m-mi lions of dollars in revenue to states from national bonks are involved in a program being formulated, and which will likely be laid before the- next congress, It was announced by Senator George H. Sullivan of Stillwater. Pointing to the relation between the taxing laws of Minnesota and authority given to tax by congress, Senator Sullivan explained that South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Montana and Virginia are in the same position as Minnesota.

In rhelr cases, it was pointed out, the reason is that bank shares are taxed higher than are money and credits. Senator Sullivan, who is chairman of the Minnesota legislative Interim committee which is preparing measures for presentation to replace national bank taxing statutes held invalid by the United States supreme court, is also head of a national movement in this direction, He was selected chairman of a committee of eight men at the recent meeting of tax officials of the United States at Toronto, Which has before It the fundamental work of obtaining congressional action to lay a foundation for state authority to tax the banks. This committee Senator Sullivan said, is seeking the cooperation of bankers and officials throughout the nation to obtain in congress relief which states believed they, are entitled to. While in many states authority to tax has not been questioned, approximately 30 states are in the same position as Minnesota, Senator Sullivan's investigation reveals. Besides Minnesota, South Dakota and other states which he said are in the same position, he pointed out that numerous other states are also In a position where relief is necessary.
