Democrats to Meet Here

Warren Young, chairman of the
democratic county central COM
mittee, has called a meeting for
March 10 and 13 at Philip. Mr..
Young was here last week looking
after the arrangements for the
meeting.
Those who have the matter in
charge expect to have q large
meeting of representative demo-
Gratis from all parts of the county.
Not only members of the county
central committee, but other prom
inent members of the party are
expected to be present. It is Ger.
tain that various leaders, who hope
to slip into Office through the pres.
ent dissention in the republican
ranks, will be on hand.
Plans will be discussed at the
meeting for the coming campaign
and steps taken to perfect q closer
organization in the various voting
precincts throughout the county.

Social at the Kinney Home

About fifty neighbors called at
the home of Mrs. Tillie Kinney
seven miles west of town Saturday
night and enjoyed a surprise PARTY.
The hostess had no notice of the
affair until the company came flock
ing in and took possession of her
home.
Music and dancing we're the
features of the evening and were
participated in heartily by those
present until past the midnight
hour.
Among those present were Mrs.
Kinney's son, Frank; NJ. l.. Par
cells and Sheriff George S. Hus-
toqwho came up from Fort Pierre
for the occasion.

Tony the Convict

A company of Cottonwood play
ers presented a play entitled,
Tony the Convict" at the new
dance hall Monday night. A fair
sized audience turned out to give
the amateurs a warm welcome.
The play in itself was not worse
than the average. 1t was tinctur-
ed with the usual amount of blood
and thunder that made us bark
back to our dime novel days. In
places it was as good as the fifteenth
chapter of one of Bertha NJ. Clay's
best. On the whole the audience
appeared to enjoy the play heartily.
The manner in which the sever
al actors carried out their respec-
tive parts deserves only commcnda-
ton. If there was anything lack
ing in that regard, the critics
broad mantle of charity is suttici-
ent to cover it. There were some
good looking girls with the show,
both in the play and out of it, and
that is sufficient to cover multi
tude of technical defects in acting.

Patents Are Issued

According to a careful compila-
ton made from the records of the
Pierre and Chamberlain land
offices, one hundred twenty-eight
patents for homestead entries were
issued to settlers in Stanley coun-
ty during the first six weeks of
the present year. A considerable
number of these instruments of
title have already been offered
for record at the office of the rex-
ister of deeds, and others will show
up later on.
A number of the people in this
locality are beginning to receive
their patents now, and are CORES
pondingly happy. They testify
to a peculiar sense of satisfaction
now that the gumbo they have
toiled and waited so patiently for
is at last theirs.
Patents will come thick and
fast from now on. 1t is conserva-
lively estimated that three hundred
thousand acres of land in this
county will pass into the hands of
the settler this year. This will
increase the taxable wealth of the
county in no small amount. 1t
begins to look as if Stanley county
were coming into her own.

The Month of February

When Augustus Caesar took two
days from the second month of the
year and added them to August
in order that that month might
have as many days as July. named
after Julius Caesar, he evidently
labored under the impression that
he had struck February a stagger-
ing blow. But time has brought
its revenge, and now February,
though the shortest month, is one
of the most important months of
the year. In this state it contains
two legal holidays, the birthday
of Lincoln and of Washington.
Besides these, Longfellow and q
host of other celebrated Americans
were born in this month. Take
down your old school history and
you will be astonished as you
turn its pages, to discover the
many important events in our his
tory that have occurred during tho
month of February. Besides all
this, the month this year has five
Saturdays; something that will
not occur again for ever so many
years. Certainly a month that
contains Eve pay-days is holding
its own, even though the old
Roman Caesar did attempt to hand
it package, two thousand years
ago.

per acre. This is the highest price
yet paid in Stanley county for
agricultural purposes. The soil
on this truck farm is alluviaI wash

County Division

Just at present it looks as if
county division were on the shelf
indefinitely. When and in what
manner the matter will be taken
up again are both problems for
the future to solve.
The meeting here last Wednes-
day night showed pretty plainly
that any division plan that could
be suggested now would meet
with strong opposition. Dele
gates from a dozen places in this
end of the county expressed them
selves as unquali6edly opposed to
a division into two counties, and
the sentiment seems pretty general
against any action at all.
At a meeting of the Philip busi-
ness mems association held Friday
night, it was decided to lay the
whole proposition on the table in
definitely. So far as the people
here are concerned, while they are
all in favor of division, they have
no desire to push the project unless
it can receive the hearty support
of their neighbors. If this town
can receive the friendly support
of the people in this end of the
county, it will get along pretty
we'll as things are.
1t should be added that the busi-
ness men of Philip desire to ex-
press their sincere appreciation of
the courteous and very general
response which their invitation to
attend this meeting received. It
was certainly worth while for the
towns interested to get together
and talk the matter over anyway.

Latest Rules Adopted by the
State Board of Health

The News Office received yester-
day copy of the rules recently
adopted by tho state board of
health. They practically abolish
the system of quarintine that has
heretofore been in vogue. In view
of the fact that smallpox in a mild
form has at various times during
the past winter been prevalent in
this end of the county, the rules
are of interest to the general
public.
Whereas, it is the opinion of the
State Board of Health of the
State of Soath Dakota that the
only safe and sure preventative of
smallpox is vaccination, and that
quarantine in such cases is un-
scientific and of no avail in pre-
venting the spread of this disease.
Therefore, be it resolved to remove
the quarantine from the premises
occupied by smallpox as laid down
in rules 10 and IA.
Rule %. The local health officer
having knowledge of or having
reason to suspect the existence of
smallpox shall investigate and at
once place upon the house where
smallpox exists sign setting forth
the facts. The sign is to serve
only as a warning to those who
may wish to avoid the house, and
not as an indication of quarantine.
When the attending physician con-
siders the patient to have recover
ed, he shall report the fact to the
local health officer, who shall re-
move the warning card. The
patient must not leave the house
until the warning card is removed.
Rule %. The apartments occu-
pied by smallpox patient shall
be deemed infected, and when va
Gated by death, removal or recovery
shall, together with their contents,
be thoroughly disinfected under
the supervision of the local health
officer.
Every physician shall Immediate
ly report in writing to the local
health officer, the name of every
smallpox patient under his care.
Every physician shall report to
the local health officer the death of
any smallpox patient under his
