F. Iiabcuefc, whose death is announced at Yankton, was! the pioneer physician of the northern Black Hills. He located in Deadwood! In 1877, when the town was nothing! but a wild and woolly mining camp. He built up a lucrative practice. About five years ago his health commenced to fail and he continued to steadily decline until his death.

Mitchell, of Brookings, enlisted as a chauffeur In the engineers corps of the army at the Huron recruiting station. It was Mitchell's third attempt to break Into Uncle Sam's fighting forces. He enlisted first last January, was sent to Jefferson Barracks, examined and rejected. He tried again In April and failed. Tonight he leaves once more for the training depot to undergo another examination.

Mitchell- Whether It is proper that women, as well as men, remove tbeir hats when tfye national anthem Is played, is a problem that is worrying the women of Mitchell.

The women are divided on the subject. Some declare "it is unnecessary," while others contend it would give tbe fair sex an opportunity to show tbeir respect to the national anthem One Mitchell woman declared although it would be a good move and that she would approve of it from a patriotic standpoint, it would be "very awkward" at times for women to remove their hata, especially at open air meetings. can be accomplished With alfalfa has been demonstrated on the ranch of Nicholas Caspers, near Quinn. He now has 175 acres of alfalfa, having started with only a small patch of ground. When he took a homestead in what had been the heart of the great range country be put in a small pumping plant on the shore of Lake creek and then planted about 20 acres to alfalfa.

The old timers were amazed at his audacity and what they believed lack of foresight, but the alfalfa grew and prospered wonderfully. He has steadily added to his alfalfa acreage.

ROBERT RENSCH WRITKH HIS F1IWT HOME TO VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY. Aberdeen, June Folks: Arrived in Aberdeen at 5:30 this morning and took an examination for six months training at Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, In.

I was one of the 30 chosen out of 200 or 300, and am to be congratulated for my good luck. It gives me six months college education free of charge and drawing wages. The examining officer said I was perfect physically, po fur as he could see. You didn't think so, did you? Neither did I. Indiana is much better to be in than Texas, and I'm mighty glad that's where I'll be.

I leave at 3:30. We all travel first class, Pullman. no hardship I can see, best hotel la tbe eity and best of everything. Don't worry about me, because I'm able to take care of myself. I will write i ften Und will send you my address as soon as possible.

You will, or should, hear from me at least once a week if it's possible to write to you. Say hello to everybody and give my love to the kids. Your loving son and brother, Bob. THEV ARE VMS NAMS SETTLED ON UNITED STATUS SOLDIERS THK FRONT. Paris, June last it seems to be name those American doughboys are to be known by in France.

First it was the "Samlmes." The soldiers didn't like that. Gen. Pershing himself expressed disapproval of it. Then it "Buddies." That monicker arose from the habfi of the soldiers themselves of calling each other "Buddy." "Huskies" was next. Tbe London people called them that when they marched through the streets -because that's what they looked like.

But the name that seems destined to stick is "Yanks." Nothing can be said for "Ysaks" on the ground of its novelty. The "Johnny Rebs" of the civil war first made it popular by applying It to the federal soldiers, and If you trace It back to "Yankee" it is older than that. The British "Tommies" and their officers have fixed on "Yanks" and are applying It to the Americans quite generally on the whole front, whether like it or not. There may be objections to its use by some of the southern soldiers, but to the British troopers an American soldier is neither a Sammy, a Buddy, nor a a "Yank." CAPTAIN WATCHES SIOUX CITY MAN WAS OFFICER CYCLOPS, Husmmu SHIP. Sioux City, June A.

Nervig, lieutenant junior grade, United States navy, who prior to his receiving his commission as ensign several months ago wa9 employed as a clerk in the Sioux City postoffice, early this year was attached to the United States naval collier Cyclops, referred to as the "mystery ship" because of her failure to reach port after sailing from Barbados in the West Indies, March 4 with a complement of 295 men. He made a voyage on the Cyclops before she sailed southward. Mr. Nervig is the son of a Lutheran minister, residing at Volin, S. D.

is now stationed on the U. S. S. Glacier. Lieut.

Nervig recently was promoted to his present rank. Concerning the disappearance of the Cyclops, he writes: "About the Cyclops, the story that she was turned over to the Germans is all bunk. It is true that the captain was of German parentage, but I do not think that he was at all disloyal. He often came upon Ihe bridge at night when I had the watch and would talk for hours. He did seem queer, though, and the doctor used to watch him pretty close, and had he started anything, I am sure he would have been locked up imme- dlately.

The Cyclops loaded manganotse ore at Rio de Janeiro and it was the heaviest cargo she hud ever carried. Besides her construction seemed to be very weak for when at sea she would vibrate and bend until one wondered how she could possibly hold together. In fact she would bend to such an extent that it would ie visible to the eye. To my mind there is no doubt that she simply broke in two 'and sank so quickly that it was impossible to use the wireless or lower boats. You know, don't you, that I made the trip south the CROP CONDITIONS MINNEAPOLIS BANKERS VIEW THE SITUATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND MONTANA.

Minneapolis, June wheat crop is the biggest that ever stood in the fields, Minneapolis bankers said today on their return from a trip through that state. South Dakota likewise has the finest wheat crop of record as to condition, on the largest acreage ever planted. In Montana the crop Is 10 weeks ahead of normal in places and in South I)a kota two to four weeks ahead. If It maintains present condition it will be one of the earliest maturing crops of record and will escape many dangers that a late crop is subject to. Vice Presidents Joseph Chapman, of the Northwestern National, George F.

Orde of the Midland National and P. J. Leeman of the First and Security National and Curtis L. Mosher, rssistant to the reserve agent of the Federal Reserve bank, made the trip. Corn found to be backward in South Dakota, but the farmers said warm will bring it along all South Dakota, butt he farmers said Just right for best development of the wheat crop, they said.

"The crops could not be Mr. Chapman said. "The most sur prising and gratifying thing is the advanced stage of growth. The whoLe season is earlier. "We found no bad at all either in Montana or South Dakota, except an occasional statement about Corn needing warmer weather to fcrlng it along.

"The Nonpartisan league salesmen are actively at work in Montana selling memberships to farmers. One such salesman made the statement we were there that the farmers Would be no better off even if they got the big crops and the high prices and that they would still be in the impoverished condition of North Dakota farmers whose total mortgage indebtedness amounts to nearly $300,000,000. He did not mention tbe fact that while the North Dakota farmers have borrowed on their farms for improvement and extension and general betterment of their property, the farms are worth more than a billion dollars." II TOUR BACK A WEATHER PROPHET? Many Matlison People Have Found Their Kidneys to Be at Fault. Thers ta no other organ In the body more susceptible to weather changes than the kidneys.
