WHAT THE MOVE MEANS

The move in the legislature regard
ing farmers Institutes is not to aban.
don them but to extend the work. A
law Is proposed that will enable the
state to take advantage of the federal
cooperation offered in the Smith
Levers act passed by congress-. Under
this law South Dakota would be en-.
titled to receive from the government
$4,000 the first year., an additional
s5,14O the mex year and so on until
the amount may reach $50, 900 or $780,
600 per year for this state. In every
case the state must appropriate an
equal amount to that from the govern
ment before the government funds will
become available. The plan suggest
ed Is to merge all farmers institute
work. better farming and agricultural
extension work into n comprehensive
plan under direction of the State Col
lege OF Agriculture supervised by the
state board of regents. 1t starts with a
county unit and provides for the or
ganization of county agricultural as
ISOLATION. On request of these organ
izations county commissioners must
submit to the voters a proposition vot-
Ing funds for carrying on the work.
Such associations then are to receive
from the state fund which includes the
80
money received from the government,
an amount equal to so per cent of that
raised by the county. which shall not
exceed 800 for each township. The
county association select a county lead
er who will work in conjunction with
the agricultural college head In charge
OF the state extension work. Those in
charge Of the farm extension work
must hold an institute or better farm
ing school Of not less than four days
III each county each year. Counties
availing themselves of the state ap-
preparation By voxing local funds win
have the special agricultural interests

Take back your pie, for pie can
never buy me-" warbled Lieut.. Gov.
Norbeck and Secretary of Senate Van
Camp, paraphrasing the old popular
song, as they respectively turned back
$1.14 and $12 that the legislature had
tried to force upon them. The give
back spirit is quite popular at the pres
ent session, the most pronounced in
stance being the inclination to give the
Richards primary law back to its
maker.-Blunt Advocate.

Now as far as Russia is concerned
her supply of men is for any ordinary
calculation inexhaustible. That she
can keep her European force at 3,000,-
600 for three years, despite battle
losses is hardly debatable. AS to Eng
land, her ability to maintain an army
of 1000, 600 on the Continent indefin,
itely and despite losses is equally to be
accepted. 1t is different with France.
Her available military population may
be reckoned at 100000 OF this she
has already lost 1000, 900 by death,
capture, disease or wounds. Half of
this number may be reckoned as per-
manently lost. At this rate, France
VIII be reduced at the opening of the
third year of war to 1000, 900. With
her allies she will then have 5000, 900
men. But her losses in this year can
not be made good, save by the new
class coming to the colors in 1917 and
from her colonies.
Now Germany may be reckoned to
had 100000 men available for
service. in July, 1914; 600, 900 more will
be supplied by the combined classes
of 1916 and 1917. German losses in
the first six months may be estimated
at 1900 600. At this rate, 1900, 900
be removed permanently from the
lines in each of the first two
years of war. Thus, at the opening of

Evening Party-Miss Laura Stermer
was the charming hostess at an in
formal gathering on Tuesday evening
at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. P.
Erie. Candy making and eating it,
tatting and visiting filled the time
most admirably.
Surprise-On Tuesday evening the
neighbors of Mr.. and Mrs. T. j. Bert
ness-having discovered that 1t was
their 9th anniversary-invaded their
home and completely surprised the
happy couple. Bouquets Of flowers
were brought by the self-invited guests

the third, Germany will still have g.
100000 men TO draw on. But her
losses thereafter will be definite, be-
cause she will have exhausted her re-
serve. AS to Austria, she has lost
more than 1000, 900 already in her
many disasters. She may still have
1000, 900 in the field, but a year hence,
two years hence, she can hope for no
more and her resources, too, will be
completely exhausted.
Thus, as the third year of the war
opens not more than 1000, 900 Austro-
Germans, the last line, will confront
900, 600 Russians, British, and French,
helped by some hundreds of thousands
of Slavs and Belgians, behind whom
will stand Russian and British re-
serves of at least 1000, 900. This means
with every discount for the roughness
of the estimate, that sometime in the
third year, while Russia and Britain
are still able to keep their armies at
their present point, Austro-German
forces will begin to decline rapidly
and a tremendous advantage of num-
bers will belong to the enemies of Ger
many. Such is the statement of what
may be called the mathematics of
murder.-From Half A Year of
World War" by Frank H. Simonds, in
