An auto driver went into Bill
Borene's clothing store last week
and asked for a cheap suit of
clothes. Bill showed him one for
$18, but that was too high. An
other for SIS, one for $40; and fin
ally, he bought cheap suit for SIS.
Now, show me a good pair of
shoes, +" the driver said, and he in
vested in six-dollar pair of kids.
It's none of my business" Bill
remarked, but you do look so
funny with a fve-dollar suit of
clothes and a six-dollar pair of
shoes on; there is such contrast.
Well, you see it's this way,
drive a secondhand automobile
and I'm under the thing most of
the time, and about all anyone can
see of me is my feet the driver
explained.

GAME WARDEN
MAKES BIG HAUL
Prominent Business Men Ar
rested for Illegal Fishing.

Game Warden Jas. Locihart
who has been Watching the illeg.
al fishing on Big Stone lake very
closely this spring, succeeded in
capturing two prominent South
Dakotans while in the act of talk
ing fish from gill net which
had been placed in these waters
on Wednesday morning of this
week.
The net was discovered while
securing the lake for illegal fish
ermen, and instead of removing
it the game warden found a suit
able place of observation in the
immediate vicinity and prepared
himself for an indefinite wait
which lasted from about 800 a.
m. until about 500 a. IN. when
the offender arrived upon the
scene and began pulling in the
net. After several fish had been
removed, Game Warden Lock-
hart pounced upon his victims,
and as they were caught with
the goods they quietly submitted
to arrest. The sein was i'm
mediately destroyed and the fish
disposed of, after which the
prisoners, E. Mellon bank CASH
ier, and G. Ellis, retired farmer,
both of Cotton. S. d., were taken
to Wilmot where they appeared
before Justice Smith and plead
ed guilty to the charge preferred

The unnual report of the Red
Gross Seal commission of South

by Mrs. b. p. Wanzer of ARM
our, state chairman, and shows
that 342 $50 seals were sold dur
ing the year ending March / i,
1915, bringing in revenue of
80, ,425. 80. Of this amount the
net receipts are $1,000. 50.
Minnehaha county holds the
record for sales during the last
year, a total of 6,562 seals be-
ing sold in that county. Law.
renee comes second with 1924
seals. Brown county is third
with 1864.
At the beginning of the cam
paign last year it was announced
by the commission that all coun-
ties in the state selling 10000 or

DR.. d. D. Quinnell of Orton-
vile arrived Tuesday and has
decided to locate in Sisseton to
to practice medicine. DR.. Quin-
nell is a graduate of the Mime
sofa University and after gradu-
ating was an assistant in one of
the principal hospitals in Mime
apolis, for year. Later he was
appointed Police Surgeon of
Minneapolis, which position he
held for nine months, when he
entered into business with Drs.
karn and Bolstad, the we'll
known physicians and surgeons,
and proprietors of the Orton-
vile hospital, where he has been
the past year. The opening for
another physician looked good
to DR.. Quinnell, and he decided
to come here. He is highly re-
commended from all patients he
has taken care of in former To-
cations and especially highly re-
commended by Drs. Karn and
Bolstad. He has leased offices
in the Swedlund building and
patients may call him there OF

W|P|NG OUT MALARIA
IN PANAMA CANAL Zone
American Sanitary Officers
Meeting With Great Success.

Washington.-The report Of the de-
partment Of health Of the Panama ca
nal for the last calendar year shows
that the American sanitary officers on
the canal zone are meeting with re-
markable success in combating ma
laria.
Those other diseases so likely to Wis.,
1t white men in tropical climates, dys-
entery and typhoid fever, are also be-
Ing coped with successfully. The report
shows that no deaths occurred among
Americans in the canal zone in the
year 1914 from malaria. dysentery or
typhoid fever. Yellow fever, as is we'll
known, has long since been banished
from the canal zone by the scientific
efficacy and thoroughness Of the meth
DDS of the American sanitary officials.
The fact is that malaria. not only
among the Americans in the canal re-
gion. but among the entire population
there, has been reduced to a lower
point than ever before. In this con-
nection, it appears, apart from the re-
port for the year 1914. that the mala-
rial outbreaks among employees in the
canal zone outside Of Cristobal and
Toro Point are now at the lowest
point
The pneumonia death rate increased
considerably owing to prevalence of
measles among the black employees
and the overcrowded conditions in
which the people live in Panama. The
five diseases causing the highest num-
ber of deaths in their order are pneu-
monia. tuberculosis. nephritis. organic
diseases of the heart and malaria.
In the latter half of 1914 a periodic
physical examination was made Of all
food handlers in the kitchens, mess
rooms and coInmissaries of the Pana-
ma canal with the result that one ty-
phoid carrier and a number of cases OF
contagious diseases were detected and
eliminated. This doubtless prevented
much disease among employees.
In Colon and Panama the figures
show high infant mortality, due to
ignorance and indifference on the part
Of mothers.

ROAD HEADED
THIS WAY
Huron & Northwestern May
Pass Through Sisseton.

Messrs. Frank w. Henderson,
Walter Pelham, Chas. Wolfe and
Frank Budack arrived in town
this morning for conference
with local business men regard
ing the extension of the Huron
q Northwestern Railroad to this
city.
A meeting was held in the
Club room this afternoon at 2:3O
and the promoters outlined their
plan and stated what was desir-
ed from the people Of Hanllinson
as an inducement for the road to
extend to this city. Their de
mands are very reasonable, and
will doubtless be complied with
as the sentiment of those present
at the meeting was unanimously
in favor of the proposition.
The Huron & Northwestern
Railroad is incorporated under
the laws of the state of South
Dakota and will build north from
Huron. The route is as follows:
From Huron to Clark, opening g
up territory that is now with
out railroad facilities; thence to
Webster, thence to Roslyn, con-
Meeting with the Fairmount &
Veblen line at that point. This
much of the line is now a Ger
tainty, the money for the con-
struction work is available and
actual operations will begin at
once.
From Roslyn it is proposed to
veer east to avoid the hills in
that locality, thence to Sisseton,
and from there to Hankinson via
Ellington, making this the nor
thern terminal, for the present
at least.
A definite decision as to the
extention beyond Roslyn will be
made within the next week, and
if favorable it is more than like
ly that the road will be complet.
ed and trains running into Han
kinson before snow flies. The
line from Sisseton offers no en-
gineering difficulties whatever,
in fact is ideal for railroad CON
struction, and the cost of the
line would be far below the
average.
1t seems to be up to our busi-
ness men whether they want the
road o: not. The outlay requir-
ed is a mere bagatelle, as the
promoters desire more the good
will and cooperation of our peo-
pie than our money.
We hope to give detinit re-
port of the negotiations next
week, meantime the prospects
for another railroad for Hankin.
son appear very rosy. .-Hankin-

SISSETON LO0SES
TO SIOUX FALLS
Sioux Falls Debating Team
Wins Championship.

~
OF the South Dakota High School
Debating League took place at
the assembly hall of WASHINGTON
high school Friday evening in
the presence of a large audience,
when the final honors were ac-
corded the Sioux Falls team of
debaters. Principal w. |. EARLY
OF the Sioux Falls high school,
presided at the opening of the
exercises and stated that this
was the closing debate of a series
IN which thirty three teams had
participated in the four districts
IN which the league had carried
on it's work. The teams of
Sturgis, Huron, Sisseton and
Sioux Falls had won the highest
honors in their respective dis.
tficts. In The present contest,
the Slsseton and Sioux Falls
teams had been left by due pro-
cess OF elimination to compete
for the final honors.
The subject under discussion
was Resolved that the United
| States should renounca tha nolicv
of the Monroe doctrine" The
judges were: States Attorney
Asa Forrest, of Canton; School
Superintendent w. S. Wilson of
Rock Rapids. Ia, and Attorney
L. b. Riniker Of Dell Rapids.
The Sioux Falls debaters were
Louis Pankow, Donald Follett
and Phillip Sherman.
| The Sisseton debaters we're:
Laura Stavig, Alfred Strand and
Lloyd Peterson. They proved
to be fully familiar with their
su oject and handled it in very
pleasing and able manner. That
they did not get the decision is
nothing to be ashamed of, fol
they were a we'll trained team
worthy Of their opponent.
In brief the Sisseton team con.
tended that the enunciation of
the famous doctrine by Presi.
dent Monroe in 1923 meant prac
tically: America for Ameri
cans. and that it had virtually
been upheld before that by
Washington, j Jefferson and others
Several historical Incidents such
asthe Venezuela episode under
President Cleveland we're cited
as showing the need of maintain.
ing the doctrine in it's integrity.
South America as a whole en-.
dorses it as a protection against
foreign aggression.
Sioux Falls held that the
Monroe doctrine was unsound,
uncertain and dangerous. 1t
made Latin America look upon
the United States as the great
Octipus of the north. This was
Illustrated in many ways especi-
ally by the saving of Theodore
Roosevelt, Il took Panama. -
There was no more danger of an
invasion of South America by
any European power. The doct.
rlne was extremely vague and
uncertain.in it's workings, and
often unjust as shown in our at.
titude toward San Domingo and
other weaker republics on the
western hemisphere. 1t should
be renounced to avoid unneces-
sary war and complications.
The decision Of the judges was
two to one in favor of Sioux Falls
Only the solidity of the substan-
tial high school building kept
the structure from going down
when the decision was announc
ed. Applause, yells and the
Sioux Falls high yell above all
other noisy demonstrations,
showed the hard won victory was
thoroughly appreciated.
All the debaters gave indispu.
table evidence of talent and
thorough training. The Sisseton
