This is reported in the latest bulletin of Guy G. Frary, state food and drug commissioner, which was made public today. Pour of the five prosecutions were for keeping unsanitary slaughter houses and the other one was for sell ing decayed eggs. The five defendants were in Miller, DeSmet, Ortley and Castlewood and all pleaded guilty mid paid fines ranging from $5 to $10 each. Since the last bulletin was issued, the commissioner and his corps of six inspectors have examined 70 miscel 'laneotib food samples, sold in stores in all parts of the state, and found that 26 were nbt up to the standard. The list covers flavoring extracts, food coloring, canned goods, syrups, drinks, flours and catsup. The chief defects were the use of coal tar color ing and defective weights. It is of in- to druggists to dispose of their stock of old stock food and condition pow ders and not sell it to stock raisers. One of the announcements of im portance in the bulletin is that here after the inspection of slaughter houses wii: be left to the state board of health.

In the hardest struggle of the pres ent season, Mitchell high went down to defeat yesterday afternoon at Huron by the score of 18 to o. No excuses are offered, but the members ot the team, on their return from Huron this forenoon, declared they were anxious to meet the same team again on a neutral field and with other officials. The feature of the struggle was perhaps the number of times that the members of the Mitchell team were lorced to take out. time for in juries. Five times in the first quarter they were forced to stop and were penalized by Referee Claude Smith, a former Wesleyan player, when they had taken out time on more than three occasions. Huron won the toss on the outset of the game and Mitchell kicked off, in ihe teeth of a strong wind. By a series of line plunges through the right side of the line, Huron carried the ball steadily down the field and scored in the first quarter. In the second period, the ball was in play in the center of the lield for most of the time. Mitchell held the advantage well at the start of the third quarter. With line plunges by Captain Nord bye and lteierson and end runs by Vermillion, the spheroid was carried down the field and over the line. The ball went over on the fourth down, but refusing to explain his ruling the referee curried the ball back' to Huron's two-vard line and announced that Mitchell had lost it ou downs. Huron immediately punted out from danger, but Mitchell worked the ball back to the ten-yard line. Here a forward pass was intercepted, Brock running almost the entire length of the field. In the most spectacular play of the game, he was caught and tackled by Vermilyea on Mitchell's one-yard line. Huron then carried the ball over for a touchdown. In the final period, Huron scored again. Mitchell managed to work the ball to Huron's four-yard line, where Huron recovered a fumble and Brock sprinted through a clear field for the third and last touchdown. None of Huron's attempts to kick goal was successful. Score, 18 to 0. The lineup Mitchell Wilder Smith Grace Bernard Seal 1 in Knight Position UK. ItT... u(i. Vermilyea, Hull lteierson Xordbye. capt.

G. t'orter of the Milwaukee road has returned from, Elk Point, where lie representeu the road in a long de- ,a mage suit, which was finally decided at the present term of cir cuit court for Union countv, in favor of the railroad. In 1909, while Fred Edwards of Jefferson, S. D., was hauling hay, and had three teams in line, one on the scales at Jefferson and the other two in the rear, he stepped inside of a lumber yard office to weigh the load. Just then a Milwaukee train came along and the horses became frightened and ran away. The first team got over the railroad tracks close by, but the second team was struck by the engine. Mr. Edwards chased the team, and when the en gine struck the rig a flying piece of wood struck him in the ribs, break ing three of them. Edwards brought suit for $3,000 damages for injuries to his team and himself. The plain tiff claimed negligence on the part of the railroad, charging the engine did not whistle nor was the bell rung as a warning. The defendant railroad claimed the negligence was on the part of the plaintiff, inasmuch as he left his team unguarded and un hitched. The court upheld the con tention of the road, and the jury re turned a verdict for the Milwaukee. NEARLY HALF TEACHERS FAIL IN EXAMINATION Pierre, S.

LEND $7,000 FOR AIFALFA SEED ABKKIHCKX BANKKIIS AIV\M|' MONKY TO KNAllLK BIOTTKI KAI«IIX(i ASSOCIATION To MAKi: 1)KA I.. Aberdeen, S. D.--Tho Aberdeen Clearing House association, working in cellaberation with the South Da kota Better Farming association took a long step lorward in the work of encouraging diversified farming in South Dakota, when it. adopted plans to lend $7,000 to the Better Fanning association for the purchase ol" iwo carloads of alfalfa seed to be dis tributed among the farmers in South Dakota. Concerning tile ac tion of the Celaring House associa tion, Superintendent H. P. Patterson of the Better Farming association, said: "The Better Farming associa tion does not have funds nor is it the object of the assocciation to con duct a seed business, but it is deep ly interested in the permanent pro ductivity of farm lands and realizes that, hardy alfalfa is a prequisile The amount, of seed that, the bank ers have made possible for us to pur chase will sow about 7,000 acres. It is hard to estimate what, the direct results of this venture will be. The Wenz brothers, near Bath, in three years sold $1,482.45 worth of pork from nine and five-eighths acres of alfalfa. That alfalfa has proven a success in Brown county is shown by the wonderful increase in the acreage during the past tlirpe vears. Government statistics show there were 250 acres in the county in 10 1 This acreage was increased in (l to :!,7r)0, as reported to the associa tion. Superintendent Patterson stronglv advises against buying alfalfa seed from Kansas or other southern points, contending that only north ern-grown seed should be sown. The loan of the Aberleen bankers to the association will enable farmers of northern South Dakota to sow 7,non acres of ground to this guaranteed northern grown seed, which will en able them 10 get a start in alfalfa under the most favorable auspices. «LOGrm5 .b'fi- KI.K POINt MAN I.OSK.S DA MACK Kl IT AGAINST HAIliHOAI) BF f'AVSK HK IvKKT TKAM UN I'AJt lK I). i"EMS Loomis, S.
