MRS. COFFMAN
ILL SEVEN TERRS
Saved from an Operation by Lydia
L Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound
Sidell, 111.—“I was a newous wreck.
I was snff jring from a pain in my left
uiae, wmcn was al
most unbearable, and
I could not even let
the bed clothing rest
on my body at night.
I had been sick for
seven years, but not
so bad until the last
eighteenmonths,and
had become so run
down that I cared
for nobody, and
would rather have
died than live. I
couldn't do my work without help, and
the doctors told me that an operation
was all there was left I would not
consent to that, so my husband brought
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pink ham’s
Vegetable Compound and begged me
to take it. I have taken fourteen bot
tles of it and I feel ten years younger.
Life is full of hope. I do all my house
work and had a large garden this year.
I never will be without the Vegetable
Compound in the house, and when my
two little girls reach womanhood I in
tend to teach them to take it. I am
never too busy to tell some suffering
sister of my help, and you can use my
name and letter to spread the good
news of Lydia E.Pinkham’s medicines."

ALL MEASURES FOR PASSIVE
RESISTANCE IN RUHR DISTRICT '
ABANDONED UNCONDITIONALLY
Action Taken After Long Session of Cabinet—Release
of Prisoners Expected—• Military Measures Taken
to Put Down Any Uprisings
Berlin, Sept. 24.—Germany has capitulated
Following extraordinary sessions of the cabinet lasting all day Sun
day, nearly all night Sunday night, and resumed early Monday, mixed
with various conferences of officials, industrialists, laborites, bankeds and
political party leaders, the governtnent Monday night signed the pro
clamation of unconditional surrender.
The Ruhr parliamentary representatives have accepted the govern
ment’s decision for the cessation of passive resistance.
THOUSANDS SEE
CORN PALACE
Big Crowd Attends Open*
ing of Exposition at
Mitchell Monday Night
Mitchell, S. D., Sept. 24.—Mitchell’s
first night audience at the opening
ehow of the corn palace this year
was composed mostly of home folks,
but the big building was packed and
jammed to capacity, it being estimat
ed that upwards of 5,000 people saw
the first show. Lowering clouds
and a slight chill in the air Monday
night seem to preage rain for Tues
day. But in spite of the outlook it
is expected that Tuesday will be one
of the biggest days of the week, for
it is Patriotic Day and members of
both the 147th Field artilery and
the old Fourth (South Dakota) in
fantry will hold their reunions here.
Gen. G. B. Duncan, commander of
• the Seventh army corps, who saw
service on the front line in France,
will speak to the veterans.
Streets are crowded yith concession
men and the big free acts, which cul
of the Gates flying circus, are pro
ing big drawing cards.
Reservation of seats at the corn
palace itself is proving a highly suc
cessful plan and both telegraph and
telephones were kept busy Monday
placing sdat reservations.
Ann effort was made to break in
to the corn palace Sunday night
and steal the pearl costumes, which
Ernie Young uses in one of his fea
ture numbers of the Passing Parade
of 1923. The effort was unsuccess
ful, but as a result, W. H. King,
chairman of the corn palace commit
tee, immediately engaged two night
watchmen who will be on duty the
remainder of the week.
DISLIKES PLAN
OF GOVERNMENT

Governor Bryan Asserts It
Will Not Bring Cheaper
Coal to People
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 25.—Governor
Bryan of Nebraska, when informed
that tihe U. S. coal commission had
recommended to President Coolidge
the creation of a division of the in
terstate commerce commission to
supervise the coal industry said that
he could not see in this move "any
reduction of coal prices for the peo
ple.”
“The people want results” the Ne
braska executive declared, "and they
would like to have the results from
individuals they have elected a’nd not
from appointive officers.”
"These investigations of the coal,
oil and gas industries by congress
have resulted in nothing of value
to the public” Governor Bryan stated
adding that “the federal govern
ment has the authority to take over
and operate the coal mines the same
as it had to take over the railroads
and in my opinion the federal gov
ernment should take over the mines
and the oil industry and operate
these in tihe behalf of the people until
plans could be made to regulate the
industries in the interests of the
people of the U. S.”
LOCAL TAXES ARE UP
AND STATE DOWN.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 25.—While
state taxes undier the 1923 levy have
been reduced $943,392.66, a net in
crease of $174,545.08 Is shown in the
local taxes of the ninety-three coun
ties in Nebraska, according to a ta
ble compiled by State Tax Commis
sioner W. H. Smith. i
Douglas county, with a levy of 3.
30, shows a decrease of $64,722.61 in
county taxes, according to Mr.
Smith’s figures. Lancaster county
sihows an Increase of $2,352.28.
The total in county taxes to be col
lected under the 1923 levy is $9,890,
874.43.
ASSERTS HE IS NOT
THE MAN CONVICTED.
- ,
Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 25.—(Spe
cial)—'J. W. Sfhevlin, of Rapid City,
S. D„ states that he is not the John
Shilvin of Hot Springs, S. D., who is
alleged to have been found guilty of
fraud in Federal Court through the
sale of worthless stocks on April 12,
at Sioux Falls.
Under the proclamation the pas
sive resistance in the Ruhr is ordered
abandons dwithout conditions at
tached, although the government ex
pects concessions from the French in
the Ruhr and Rhineland, lncludigg
resumption of, German administra
tion, the release of prisoners and the
return of all deported Germans.
Tension at High Pitch.
The iinmience of German surrender
has kept the tension at a high pitch.
All day Monday the danger of a
“putsch” seemed so real, that extra
ordinary measures to cope with any
uprising were taken all along the
line.
The minister of defense sent the
Bavarian reichswehr contingent (na
tional guard) to Wurtemburg; orde
rd the Wurtemburg contingent to
Saxony—and sent the Saxon troops
to Bavaria. The government believes
these dislocationas will break up
whatever connections may exist be
tween certain reichsw’ehr formations
and secret organizations.
Police in Readiness.
The Saxon contingent, which is
regarded as the most dependable for
the republic, has been concentrated
at Grafeonwoerth, and Commander
in Chief Von Seeckt has assured
Chancellor Stresemann that the
reichswehr will be able to crush any
“putsch,” either from the right or
left
The Berlin police are held in readi
ness for any alarm.
Among the important conferences
was one occupying many hours in
which the cabinet met with repre
sentatives of the occupied territory.
Hugo Stinnes was amonw thos«
present.
TUMULT GROWING.
London, Sept- 24.—Berlin dispatch
es declare that “tumult grows hour
ly,” but the Central government is
not intimidated by the stream of
condemnation for its action in order
ing unconditional surrender.
Chancellor Stresemann bluntly
I asked one protesting deputation:
“Do you want to go to war with
France? The government has made
up its mind that is must either fight
or capitulate, as passive resistance
is no longer possible.”
The London Daily News parlia
mentary correspondent says that it
is probable that the German sur
render will be followed by an allied
conference.
GIVEN $10,000
FOR WIFE'S LOVE
Sioux Falls Man ins Case on
Two Counts—Divorce
Action Next
Sioux Falls, S. D„ Sept. 25.—Ten
thousand dollars for the alienation of
his wife’s affections must be paid to
Fred Huizenga by Henry Groenewald,
by decision of a jury of 12 men in
Judge John T. Medin's court.
Testimony of unusual nature was
introduced when various witnesses ap
peared upon the stand. 'Several ex
hibits held the undivided atention
of the jurors and spectators through
out the proceedings.
Among the exhibits was a letter al
leged to have been written by the
defendant to the plaintiff’s wife some
time ago. This communication began
“Dear mamma,” and closed with
own papa”. Written at some length,
the letter revealed the writer's ap
parent strong affections for the re
ceiver and in one place emphasized.
“My God, Lena don’t work too hard
packing; better let someone come in
and help you.”

Brookings, S. D., Sept. 24.—South
Dakota ranks fourth among the states
in the production of flax seed, being
exceeded only by North Dakota, Min

John Martin, of the Agronomy de
partment of State college here.
The total production for South Da

Inheritance Tax Reform.
From the Chicago Journal of Com
merce.
James H. Collins, writing in the
current Collier’s, estimates that 40,
000.000 workers In this country earn
$60,000,000,000 or about $1,600 apiece.
Federal taxes consume $5,000,000,000,
or about $125 a year per capita, and
local taxes require $3,625,000,000, or
about $90 per capita. In other words,
each of us works one month for Un
cle Sam and three weeks for local
governing bodies, to meet our tax
bills.
These figures will Impel all of us
to cheer the administration and the
budget bureau In their efforts to re
duce Federal taxation, and likewise j
move most of us to declaim against
state and municipal governments
which still are deep in an orgy of
spending.
In discussing these figures, Mr. Col
lins makes a few suggestions we can
not support. He offers others, how
ever, that seem commendable. Among
the latter is the thought that our in
heritance tax laws require immediate
revision ai\d co-ordination. It is sug
gested that greater leniency be shown
in the matter of small legacies and
that, while it may be Just and
economic to assess a heavy tax on
large inheritance^, some arrangement
that tax by installments over a period
of years.
If a man builds a business valued
at several millions of dollars and
leaves It to his son, that son Is im
mediately faced with the problem of
raising a huge amount of money to
pay the inheritance tax. To demand
liquidation of the business, or a sale
of part of it, to meet the tax bill, is
unsound. It destroys the unity of the
business and may divide it among Its
competitors. To ask the government
to take an ownership interest in the
business is merely to add the govern
ment to the management as a tax col
lector on the board of directors. It
would scem(a logical suggestion that
the total of the tax be determined
and the heir to the property given g
period of years in which to pay.
MY FRIEND.
By Anne Campbell.
I have one friend on earth I know la
true.
One good, dependable and trusted
friend.
If I need sympathy she comes right
through.
And will I know, until the journey's
end.
Her eyes have never looked Into my
own
With aught but kindness in their lov
ing gaze,
And never once by an unfriendly tone
Has she brought sorrow to my tran
quil days.
She loves me well, this only friend of
mine.
And in a sweet companionship we Jog
She wags her tail, and how her brown
eyes shire.
When I come home to her—-my collie
log!
