EDITOR SUGGESTS PLAN
FOR RESCUING GRAIN ACRES

Aberdeen. s.. D., Aug. 7.-E, P.
Ihorne, editor of the Forest City Press,
located at Forest City, Potter county,
on the Missouri river, believes the
waste or crops and destruction of prop
erty due to Missouri river floods could
De abated provided the five factors he
names will work together to that end.
lhese five factors are the farmer, the
civil township, the county.
the state and the federal government.
he contends the farmer, who is the
most directly affected by floods which
send the rich Missouri river bottom
iand down stream, should act first by
pulldlng drains and ponds or reservoirs
m winch the surplus water can be
stored IN time of excessive rains, in
stead OF being permitted to go to
waste m flooding the Missouri river
country.
Next he places the civil township.
which. he thinks, should compel the
nonresident land owner to a his
share for drains and bitches along the
pupllc highways to care for the sur
plus waters. Third, is the county,
which should do it's share by proper
construction of highways, which he
thinks should be a county rather than
a township affair, and the county, too,
should assist in drainage projects.
fourth comes the state and fifth, the
FEDERAL government. These five units
are all working to solve the Missouri
river flood, but Thorne insists thew
will never accomplish their purpose
until they work together.

which urged this step upon him, de-
clared that the interests of Marguer-
lite Murtha would be better served if
she were not permitted to marry the
father of her child.
They urged that, during her seven
years Incarceration, she could learn
a trade by which she could support
her baby herself, and that social os-
tracism of the unWed mother is dying
out.
The flaw in Judge Colts argument
and in the advanced view Of the pros
ecuting society is that It considers
the case from the aspect Of Samuel
Jacobson and Marguerite MuTtha in
stead of from that of the Unborn
Baby, who would be made lifelong
victim of their indiscretion.
That baby has right to be born

other babies are named after their
fathers, according to what viii re-

London; May 29.-The Italian arm
les are drawing near to Trent and
Trieste in Austria, the principal cities
in the territory over which Italy en-
tered the European war. Little news
of the campaign penetrates the cen
sorship, but Geneva dispatches say
the Italians are still advancing on
Trieste.
Anti-Italian disorders are reported
and the municipal authorities are
said to have fed.
The Austro-German advance in
Galicia is still being prosecuted with
success, except for the Russian vic
tory on the San river at Sieniawa.
Vienna reports indicate a measured
design to isolate Permysl. If pro-
ceedings are unchecked, that fortress
soon may be surrounded.
