Molly Maguire at Monmouth.
On the bloody Hold of Monmouth
Flashed the (runs of Greene and Wayne
Fiercely roared the tide of battle.
Thick the sward was heaped with slain
Foremost, facing death and danger,
Hessian, horse, and grenadier,
IS the vanguard, fiercely fighting,
Stood an yish Oannonter.
Loudly roared his Iron cannon,
Mingling evet In the strife,
And beside him. firm and daring.
Stood his faithful Irish wife.
Of her bold contempt of danger
Greene and lee's brigades could tell.
Every one knije "Captain Molly,”
And the army loved her well.
Surged the roar of battle round them.
Swiftly flew the Iron hall,
Forward dashed a thousand bayonets,
That lone battery to assail.
From the foemon’s foremost columns
Swept a furious fusillade.
Mowing down the massed battalions
In the ranks of Groan's Brigade.
Faster faster worked the gunner.
Soiled with powder, blood and dust
English bayonets shone before him.
Shot and yhell around him burst;
Still he fought with reckless daHng.
Stood and planned her long and well,
Till at last the gallant fellow
Dead—beside -bis cannon fell.
With a bitter cry of Borrow,
And a dark and angry frown,
Looked that band of gallant patriots
At their gfmner stricken down.
"Fall back, comrades. It Is folly
Thus to strive against the.foe.”
"No! not so,” cried Irish Molly;
"We cam strike another blow.”
Quickly leaped she to the cannon.
In her fallen husband's place.
Sponged and rammed itwaat and steady.
Fired It In the foe man's face.
Flashed another ringing volley.
Roared another from the gun;
“Boys, hurrah!” cried gallant Molly,
•’For the flag of Washington."
Green's Brigade, though shorn and shat
tered.
Slain and feeding half the'men,
When they heard that Irish slogan.
Turned and charged the foe again.

Wanted Peaceful Holiday.
From Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
Thomson came back to the office
looking very' brown.
He had taken two weeks' vacation
directly after a holiday, and so had
been able to add several days to his rest
period. *
To the amasement of his boss, how
ever, he went straight to him. and
asked for a few extra days off.
"Why, you've only Just had your va
cation!” ejaculated the amazed employ
er. "What do you want the extra days
for?”
"I want to ge married,” Thomson an
swered.
"Why didn't you get married during
your vacation?” the boss Inquired.
”1 didn't want to spoil my vacation,”
Thomson replied.
Speaking of peace, civilization and
such things, do you know of the new
gun, sending a projectile with a speed
up to five miles a second, able to shoot
a five ton shell more than 200 milsa?
This invention, vouched for by com
petent men, ‘fcvoutd make war too ter
rible and therefore Impossible,’' seys the
inventors. But the last war proves
that Isn’t so.
If the inventors have under perfect
control the power they think they liave.
they should create wonderful Indu
trial tools, for cutting off trees at the
roots, quarrying stone, and otherwise

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,

Sisseton, S. D„ July 10.—The six

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.

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. X

The Tribute to Mary White.
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
