Macaulay like Shelley was in the habit of reading as he walked the London street. According to his biographer, "he could neither swim, nor row, nor drive, nor skate, nor shoot." He seldom crossed a saddle, and never willingly. The only exercise In which he can be said to have excelled was that of thread ing crowded streets with his eyes Axed upon a book. He might be seen In such thoroughfares as Oxford street and Cheapside, walking as fast as other peo ple walked, and reading a great deal taster than anybody else could read. t WOODEN BRIDGES ARE BEK BUILT Demand of Farmer Taxpayers For Lower Taxes Result V In Use of the Cheap er Material. Mitchell, S. D., July 10 (special).— Five wooden bridges, the first to be constructed in Davison county for eight years, have been ordered by the county commissioners. The con tracts were let when it was shown that the wooden structures could be erected foi^ibout a third the cost of concrete bridges. No wooden bridges will be built on the main highways of the county, but until the financial stringency passes, nothing but wood en spans will be erected on secondary roads. The letting of the contracts for the wooden bridges, it is declared, is a direct result of the activity of the farmers’ committee, which, is de manding ■ lower taxes for 1922. The commissioners admit that in the long run the concrete bridges would be a saving because the life of a wooden bridge is only abodt 10 or 15 years. THREE MORE STOLEN MAIL POUCHE8 RECOVERED . Yankton, S. D., July 10.—Three more letter pouches, of the seven which were..«tolen from the Milwaukee bag gage room here early in the morning of June 22, have been found, with contents badly mixed up but all be lieved to be Intact, in the high weeds along the Wash.ngton highway about 11 njiles east of Yankton. They were discovered accidentally by Julian Aasetb, farmer near Gay ville, while plowing In a cornfield nearby. One other bag was found a few days after the robbery, tucked into a cul vert under the road a few miles east1 of Gayville. This leaves three bags still to be recovered. The three pouches found Wednes day had all been slit open, the con tents looked over and then placed badk in the pouches indiscriminately. Some letters had been opened, and also some of the packages. The rob bers had apparently tossed the three pouches from the moving automobile, for they were lying in the high weeds only a few feet from the road. The recent rains had soaked some of the mail, as the slits were exposed, but none of it was damaged much. The three pouches contain mall ad dressed to Tabor, Tyndall, Wagner and Yankton, but it is all mixed up bo that it is Impossible to tell wheth er there is some still missing for these various towns. CHILD, SIX YEARS OLD, IS A REAL HERO Sisseton, S. D„ July 10.—The six year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Theo dore Gunderson is in a hospital suf fering from burns which he received while attempting to rescue his young er brother. It seems the family had gone to the garden to work, leaving the boys, aged five and six years, at the house. The younger boy poured gasoline on the floor and then lighted it, the flames shooting up and catching his clothing. The older boy succeeded In smoth ering the flames and got the little fellow out of the way, but in. doing so his own clothing caught fire and he was badly burned before his par ents came to the rescue.

HARVEST LABOR SCARCE. IN DAVISON COUNTY Mitchell, S. D„ July 10 (Special).— Thus far this year the influx of farm labor into this section is not heavy enough to keep up with the demand. Last year at this time the federal employir.-nt office was flooded with farm laborers, but this year there are few callers. The fact that the farm ers are so far ahead with their work this season is probably the cause of the scarcity of help, it is believed. The Black Death had its origin in China and made its first appearance in Europe 543 A. D. BIG iVHLK DEALERS HAD NICE LITTLE SCHEME Mitchell, S. D„ July 10 (Special).— The city council sat on an effort to kill'off the little milk dealer in Mitch ell this week when a petition, signed by practically all the larger distrib utors was filed. It asked that a milk dealer’s license of not less than $25 and not more than'$50 be provided by the council. The council tabled the petition, and it is expected that It will never be revived. j "War After the War.” I...--t. From Bulletin of Guaranty Trust Col, of New York. * Little attention appears to have been paid to the fact that the allies now 1 control the customs of the richest and most varied manufacturing districts of western Germany. The import and .export duties in the territory must be — paid to the order of thp allies' commissioners, and a line of custom houses is being established to the eauttof the occupied territories. As one writer puts It “the allies have theta hands, so to speak, on the throttle valve of Germany’s most valuable industrial region and can increase or diminish its exports or imports at will.” Should Gersaandcompetition prove too severe, an increase In the export duties on the Rhine will enable the allies to obtain the neces sary relief for their industries, although, it may be, at the expense of the reparation fund. Tlje productive activity of the Rhine province also now can be regulated, by the allies, who have only to advance duties on raw materials to bring Its trade to a standstill. The result of such policy probably wouM be the ; transference of factories to places over the frontier, in which case Holland, ! Belgium and Switzerland would be the first ft benefit. Yet, If the allies' ob- f ject is to raise revenue from the oecupled territory for reparation purposes, is their policy naturally will be to aheck the tendency and, by Imposing moiler ate duties, to stimulate production for their own benefit. In any case, “we- ; are on the eve of a most interesting fiscal experiment.” ^The correspondent In Germany of the Federation of British industries, commenting on the recently published figures of German Import and export trade during the last 12 months, states that both the German government and industry have prepared a series of counter-measures against the sanc tions. These measures will include the granting of the most extensive tacit Rites to exporters and the Imposition of difficulties In the way of importa tion of goods from the allies. Exhaustive deliberations have been taking place recently in official quarters, and, although an actual program has not yet been fixed, these general principles have been, it Is understood, agreed upon: New restrictions on imports will be Introduced and foreign products shut out by higher taxes and strict control. The abolition of prohibitions on ex ports and the removal of the control on the export or finished goads, wit&tho exception of such goods as are of vital importance for domestic consumption. Systematic encouragement of exports especially to the east The British federation's correspondent also reports that as a protective measure against the consequences of the establishment of the custom line on the Rhine the German government has Instituted a Rhine control. This con trol has for its object the prevention of goods needed in Germany being ex ported to the occupied provinces, and, conversely, at foreign goods being Im ported into the non-occupied provinces?. The control came into fcaen ou tlay 10. » * The German export and import license department has Issued rules for ' trade with the occupied territory which Indicate that in principle the '"sanc tions" are ignored as illegal. Import and export licenses bearing the seal or the Interallied Rhineland commission- are declared invalid. Goods consigned to uncccupled Germany with such documents are to be hamUed as if they had no license and excluded. Goods from unoccupied to occupied territory will continue to need no export llfcense. Non-German goods sent through un occupied xo occupied Germany require license. m Non-German goods which, in ordinary trade reach unoccupied from-occupied Germany, will be examin'icB to see whether they have been admitted tn accordance with German law. A delegation of British business men, who recently returned from a trip through Germany, have Issued a report in which they express the conviction that the German people are better clothed, better shod and more plentedasly fed than many of the allie? peoples. During a long journey from Cologne to Leipzig they reached the conclusion that not an inch of soil remained uncul tivated, not a single sign of war wap to be seen, but only an industrious and apparently prosperous people. In the ^toWns through which the delegation passed there was much more activity in house building and decorating than In England. The impression the delegation got was that Germany was in dustrially strong and economically sound, notwithstanding the depressed value of the mark, which may be kept at its preseat level for purely political reasons. •** —- . The German automobile Industry is rapidly reviving, and exports are in creasing to Latin America. There are about 90 large automobile factories In operation in Germany, and some snmller ones. The exports of German, automobiles in the first eight months of ®20 amounted to 14,050 cars and 2,849 motorcycles. One-flftti of these exports went to allied countries, and four fifths to neutrals. Undoubtedly a conslderableBportion of the latter found their way to allied countries. These figures show a considerable increase over German automobile exports for 1^13. A reflection of the powers of recuperation of Germany has beets found in statistics of the imports and exports of the United States, as compiled by the department of commerce. They present an excellent picture of the manner in which German government, importers and exporters are thrusting them selves into the forefront of foreign trade. The figures are Tor the trade of Germany with the United States, but it is known that German trade agents are abroad in all parts of the world and that the -‘Made in Germany” trade mark again is reappearing in competition with American and allied good* everywhere The head of a large manufacturing corporation recently arrived in th* country from Japan. He was asked what was the most interesting thing he saw abroad. "The sight of a squad of 60 German trade agents arriving in the port at Japan from which I sailed." he said. "They were the advance guard, and they have been followed by more. They are part of a vast army of salesmen.” SettOig a Remnant War. From the New York World. treaty. Great Britain, France and Italy have made at endeavor to settle the gravest war which the world conflict left in lta train. . The Smyrna-Tnrace dispute differs from that in and about upper Silesia In that it is trouble In fact Instead of trouble In prospect. Toward the Silesian question both the Berlin and Warsaw governments are maintaining a reason ably correct attitude for the record at least, and the chief danger of widened warfare comes from excited irregulars on the ground. In the Turkish tangle there Is grave doubt of the willingness of either Greece Or Turkey to accept the Entente terms. These terms Include.the formation at an international control for Smyrna, a principle that might well be applied to more ports of mixed nationalities, ana the taking of pledges for fair treatment of Moslems In Grecian Thrace. But the Idea of leaving Smyrna under Turkish sovereignty, even If that sovereignty Is only a name. Is a bitter blow to Greek pride. If both parties to the war In Asia Minor reject the terms of settlement— as both have In advance promised—there will be nothing left for western Europe but to let them fight It out If Kemal* bows to the terms proposed and Greece docs not King Constantine will have no money to fight with. If Greece sur renders and Kemal does not money and credit may be provided In limited amounts, but the difficulty of fighting a war In the Interior of Asia Minor against a Turkish commander who knows enough not to carry his victories too faaand has the sympathy if not the active nelp of soviet Russia will remain. The aid that western Europe might give tn armed forces, even to a submissive Greece Is limited by political considera tions.

From the Minneapolis Tribune. A few weeks ago was published a tri bute by William Allen White to his» daughter, Mary, who had been fatally hurt while riding, her horse near their home In Emporia, Kan. It was a tender. Intimate, vital story of the life of a young girl just nearing 17 years old, as only a father could react to It and only a White oould write, yet it throbbed with the universal heart language of all fathers ana mothers—and all others who respond to the appeal of youth. It was a tribute that reached thou sands of hearts. Many newspapers re printed It, and the editor of a big east ern magazine has asked permission to reprint the article, with Mary White's, picture. "Yet it was written 'eutl»ely for the Emporia home folks." says Mr. White’s paper, the Gazette; "ft was full of Emporia references that would seem to limit its appreciation to Maiqr White'* friends In this community.

From the Milwaukee Journal "What is the advantage,” asks the New York Tribune, "of a technical state of war for treaty purposes over a status which will result from the adoption of either the Knox or the Porter resolu tions? And what is the advantage, it Is just as easy to ask In “the status which will result” over the status we now have? The Tribune gives the case away When its asks, "What is the difference to the naked eye between the peace con dition which exists today and the one which will exist after congress formally abandons the fiction that we'are at war with Germany." The difference Is that we shall have witnessed our congress solemnly wasting days and weeks over a piece of what Carlyle called “mumbo jumbo" and later, untutored minds call bunk. Quite a Barnyard.
