which the Congress had for seven
years exercised without them, and the
exigency and occasion for the exer-
else OF those functions seemed now
gone by.
Now that the war was over. the
Confederation seemed to lack it's old
time reason for being, and yet to have
FOUND no new reason, no new service
to justify its existence and give 1t
authority. It was still too much like
an occasional body; still without DOW
ers suitable for seasons of peace and
the ordinary courses of government;
without administrative authority,
without governmental ef1cacy-a mere
board of advice about things which
had ceased to be interesting
All real vigor, all quick interest and
vital ambition, all initiative and effec-
tive purpose conferred in the several
States They alone had individuality
and political power.
The treaty of peace gave "the United
States" vast territories which spread
at large upon the map like a great
empire; but 1t was an empire without
organization, left to be ruled and peo-
pied, as the States themselves had
been, by the concert and initiative or
pioneers and of single individuals who
knew how to organize and how to
lead.
The enterprise of settlement did not
lag. The masterful advance over the
mountains and out upon the great
slopes and into the fertile valleys
which stretched, green and forested,
to the far Mississippi had begun be-
fore the revolution itself, and spFanR
forward in trebled volume when war
was done.
1t gave the young republic the early
growing pains by which 1t got it's first
self-consciousness and it's introduction
to international difficulties.
But 1t did not give 1t the organiza-
ton, the conferred authority, the CO.
herent force necessary to its poise and
conduct as a nation.

SAYS NEW FISH LAW is

| would like to say few words in
regard to the new fish law in your
paper if you will give me the room.
The new fish law is not being en-
forced according to the law. The law
says we must use a three-inch mesh
in all our nets for taking fish from
the Florida waters, and Mr.. Hodges
is to see that this law is enforced, but
he then makes new part to this
law, or new ruling that the fisher
man can catch bait with small mesh
seine. Now, I have been fishing for
twenty-five years, and l would like
20 know what is bait If he means
fish bait for the smacks it includes
skip jack, mackerei, blue fish, mullet
and seagar fish. So if a fisherman
catches any fish it is bait for I have
sold all those kinds of fish for bait
and / would ike TO know what he
means by bait !? Now mere is where
the law IS not being enforced. 1t is
done here and will be done at other
places. 1t is taking two nets out, one
with small mesh and the other a
three-inch mesh. They go out at
night and catch all the fish with the
small mesh seine and so long as they
have the three-inch mesh along it is
all O. K This is the style of some Of
the fishermen here. We have one
here with a five-inch mesh turtle
seine. He takes it along with his
small seine and it would not surprise
me If he don't come IN some day with

Orchestra Dance
Enjoyable Event

The dance given by the Lem
mon Orchestra on Friday night
of last week proved to be one of
the most enjoyable events of the
season according to reports from
those in attendance. A large
number of people were present
and the greater majority stayed
until late the following morning.
The Lennon Orchestra is be
coming we'll known throughout
this section of the northwest as
a group of the most talented
musicians, They play all t h G
latest music and each and every
member is an artist. 1t is eX-
pected that the orchestra will
give dances at regular intervals
during the winter and the popu-
larity of these dances will con-
tinue growing is certain.

30 Tons Alfalfa
Destroyed by Fire

Spontaneous combustion caus-
ed by the stacking of wet alfalfa,
was the cause of disastrous
fire on the B. B. Bobb Alfalfa
mead farm northwest of this
city. The past season has been
so wet that it has been almost
impossible to put up the hay per-
fectly dry and this fire is one of
the results of wet stacking.
Besides the burning of the
stack of alfalfa, which consisted
of 80 tons, a barn was also de-
stroyed that was valued at $500.
The fire was first noticed on
Thursday of last week and help
was at once called for and the
fire fighters kept up a contlnu-
GUS battle against the flames for
three days a nd three nights
when it was thought that the

Lennon Defeats
mobridge High

The local High School football
squad defeated h e Mobridge
eleven on the local field on Satur-
day of last week by score of
80 to 0 in the opening game of
the season.
In spite of the one sided score
the game was an interesting one
to watch as the Mobridge team
show ed gameness and fought as
hard after they could plainly see
that they were defeated az they
did at the commencement of the
game.
The Lennon team was in good
form and their line plunges tore
big gaps in the Mobridge line
and time after time gains Of ten
yards were made right through
the line.
In the first quarter White. left
half, made two end runs that
gave the local team two touch
downs. His second touch down
was made after a gain of forty
yards,
The longest run of the game
was made when Hagen caught
a tumble on the Mobridge rs
yard line and crossed the entire
field with absolutely no inter
ference.
The only thing that marred the
game in the least was the injury

his knee being sprained in a
scrimmage.
1t was our intention to give
the game in detail but the scorer
did not keep track of the plays
and therefore it is impossible.

teams lined up:

tising. At least $1.O0 must be
spent with the merchant in order

not necessarily have to buy the
goods on the day that you get

save it until you need something
and then take the ad with YOU to
the store.

MADE AT YOUR STORE. If
you do, you are hurting yourself.

Few Grain Sales
Yet This Season

Not much grain has been sold
by the farmers of this section
as yet on account of the back
ward weather for threshing and
the lack of machines to do the
work. Thousands Of bushels are
still in the shock and it will take
until Christmas, with the most
favorable conditions to finish
the work.
The weeks of rainy weather
coupled with the enormous crops
have made the shortage Of ma
chimes more noticeable than in
former years and a great many,
Of the farmers have purchased
machines of their own in prefer
ence to waiting until other out
fits could get around.
The grain that has been pur-
chased by the elevator at this
place so far this year totals
80, 900 bushels which is only a
small percentage of the amount
that will be sold here during the
coming season.
Until the grain has been sold
it will be almost Impossible to
get authentic reports of til e
yields of grain as it is generally
so easy for a man to eXagerate
the amount Of his crop.

lowing yields of grain 50 far sold

proclamation designating Thurs
day, November 18th, as Thanks
giving day called attention to
the fact that the United States
has been at peace while most of
Europe has been at war. The
text follows:
It has long been the honored
custom of our people to turn in
the fruitful autumn of the year
in praise and thanksgiving to
Almighty God for his many bles-
sings and mcrcics to us as a ma
ton The year that is now draw
ing to close since we last OBJ
served ourday of national thanks
giving has been, while year of
discipline because of the mighty
forces of war and of changes
which have disturbed the world,
also a year of special blessing to
US.
Another year of peace has
been vouchsafed us, another
year in which not only to take
thought of our duty to ourselves
and to mankind, but also to ad-
Just ourselves to the many re-
thrust upon US ny
a war which has involved almost
the whole of Europe. We have
been able to assert our rights
and the rights Of mankind with
out breach of friendship with
the great nations with whom we
have had to deal, and while we
have asserted rights we have
been able also to perform duties
and exercise privileges of succor
and helpfulness which should
serve to demonstrate our desire
to make the Offices of friendship
the means Of truly disintcrested
and unselfish service.
Our ability to serve all who
could avail themselves of our
services in the midst Of crises
has been increased by "A grac-
ious Providence, by more and
more abundant crops; our ample
financial resources have enabled
us to steady the markets Of the
world and facilitate necessary
movements of commerce which
the war might otherwise have
rendered impossible, and our
people have come more and more
to a sober realization Of the part
they have been called upon to
play in a time when all he
world is shaken by unparalleled
distresses and disasters.
+ he extraordinary circum-
stances Of such time have done
much to quicken our national
consciousness and deepen and
confirm our confidence in the
principles Of peace and freedom
by which we have always sought
TO be guided. Out Of darkness
and perplexltles have come firm
er counsels Of policy and clearer
perceptions Of the essential well
fare of the nation. We have
prospered while other people
were at war. but our prosperity
has been vouchsafcd us, we be.
lleve, only that we might better
perform the functions which war
rendered 1t Impossible Tor them
to perform.

missionary district, and was con-
secrated at Sioux Falls on Sep
tember 18th, 1912. He recently
