At a special meeting of Joe Hooker
post. G.. A. R., of Sioux Falls, a resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted re-
'uuesting the department commander
of the c.. A. r. of South Dakota TO
introduce a resolution at the next ma
tional encampment to provide for the
recognition of the women who dur
ing the trying times Of the civil war
gave their moral support to the army
of the union.
The proposed resolution will ask
for the presentation of memorial 10
congress requesting that provision
be made for the erection of monu-
ment to the mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts of mem
bers of the union army commemorate
ing their brave and loyal devotion and
their self-sacrifcing and immolatins
spirit during the great struggle, per-
petuating the honor of their deeds.
In all the years since the war this
is the first movement so far as can
be learned in the direction of having
the national government pay due rec
,ognition to the unseen warriors in the
great strife between the north and
south.

HANSON COUNTY PROSPECTS.
Bonds Not Due Until 1922 Are Taken
Up Already.

Hanson county is practically out CT
debt, and by the first of the new year
all of it's bonded Indebtedness will
have been cleared up. The biggest
portion of its debt was paid up a few
days ago when $4,000 in bonds were
taken in payment for the new court
house which was erected five years
ago. At that time the bonds were sod
TO run twenty years, with the privilege
of payment in five years at the option
of the county. The commissioners sew
eral years ago started a fund with the
idea of paying the bonds within the
shorter period. and their expectations
were fully realized when sufficient
money was secured to take advantage
Of the option. This leaves the county
in debt but $4,000, which becomes due
Jan. l. and the money will be on hand
to meet the last of the bonds. Han
son county will then be out of debt,
and it is a showing that few counties
IN the state can make.

the proposed canal from Lake Erie to
the Ohio river have been completed.
