ABOUT TAG DAY

This is a day of specializing In
business and in all the professions the
most conspicuous successes are
achieved by. those who persistently
study and practice some one particular
line. Everything is systemized
Thorough organization is the keynote
OF success. Nothing worth while is
done in the old haphazard manner
These same rules govern the admin
istration of charity in all our larger
cities. Direct relations between giver
and recipient no longer exist but con-
tributions are made 10 the treasury of
benevolent organizations and are wise
~ expended by men who have not only
made a careful study of conditions in
general, but who are often familiar
With the merits of individual appli-
cants for aid.
The indiscriminate bestowal of char
ity is a survivor Of the old. unsyste-
matte methods which modern business
practices no longer countenance
BY all means continue your giving.
Give more than before for the de.
mands are great. but give in manner
which will produce the best results.
Rock Islands Associated Charities
and Kings Daughters will distribute
carefully. economically and intelligent
~ all donations made to their treasury
on next Saturday, May 16.
Buy tag.
Pay for it all you can afford
A great advantage of this "syste.
matte" charity is in the certainty OF
|actual and not imaginary needs being
satisfied and in the removal of almost
all possibility of misbestowed aid
Another point if you give directly to
the supposed fortunate. your neighboI
may do the same. and some other
equally deserving sufferer may be-left
without assistance
Put our charities on business basis
and you increase by fiftysp per cent the
benefits of every dollar expended.
System and organization are as ap
| picable 10 this work as to factory
and right now they are more needed
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Saturday is Tag
| Day.
Do your best then for those les:
| fortunate than yourself.

BATTALION CONTEST IN NATIONAL GAME
What the Soldiers at Camp kIbbey are Doing For Pressure and Profit.

What the Soldiers at Camp Klbbey are Doing For Pressure and Profit.
 The progress of national guard events at Camp Kibbey is entirely sat isfactory Thus far there has been no occupant of the guard house nor has any soldier been arrested by the city police for any misconduct whatever during their leave from duty. The hospital record has been nearly as bare, only few slight ailments due to the change of water, having come un- der the observation of the medical of ficers.
 The daily drills are on a changing program, different one day from anoth- CT, except the few routine drills. The first day for instance there was tent pitching and close order drills. In the morning each day there have been company drills and in the afternoon there are battalion drills. Probably i today and perhaps one other day, the companies will be taken out further from camp than heretofore and be put i through battle exercises In this one respect the camp ground is not as good as Camp Brodie around which there ] Mtlt dll hliluS Ol bciNNlt 6AOunuSs NnAlO around Camp Kibbey most of the coun- i try is fenced up and cut up with barb ed wire.
 Yesterday there was a combined non commissioned officers school, special attention being paid to guard duty An interesting feature also was a base i ball game between the nine represent ing the First and one representing the 1 Second battalion. The latter was the iVictOr by a score of to 0. It was a well played game, especially in the first few rounds. The battery doing the stunt for the Second battalion had lots tof ammunition and their opponents were unable to stand the fire. They rushed to cover and lost. The militia man who went to the entrenchment for the First battalion was not so effective as his compatriot on the other nine A number of other sports were to have been pulled off but were postponed one day this week there will be field and track events, among the men ir the different companies and the best in the regiment will be selected to par ticipate in a track contest with the or ganization of the regulars when the ArlZOna DONS go 10 CdllIOTnld 1neTe is some excellent timber for a fast track team, and several are experienc- ed in work of this kind.

Everybody is pleased over the out

place, which involved her homestead
entry made Feb. 18, 1902. The local
land officers decided in favor of Mrs.
eager and Mielcher appealed to the
commissioner at Washington who af-
firmed the opinion of the Bismarck
Office. 1t is our personal opinion that
the man who is sneaking around try
ing to benefit from other peoples
labor without value ought to get it
in the neck. We hope that this case
will serve the purpose of discourage
ing such Williams from entering into
this unrightous business.
