GERMAN RAIDER WAS
 WELCOMED BY ISLE
Little English Possessions in h. dian Ocean Knew Nothing
 of the War.

LONDON May IA belated but amusing account of theGerman cruis- CT Emen's visit to the Islan of Diego Garcia, a blissful spot in the Indian Ocean, has reached London by mail
 Diego Garcia is a British possession peopled by forty Europeans and 500 natives This great world war had been under way for four months when the Emden reached the little island, but the people of the island had re- ceived no mails for six months and had no suspicion of what had been passing So when the Emden sailed in one day, the elderly manager" of the island paid a pleasant call upon Captain von Muller
 The Emden had come to Diego Gar via, explained Captain von Muller, to refill her coal bunkers and remove the weeds that had been growing under her hull But when the island manag CT asked what brought the ship tc that out-of-the-wsy corner of the world, the Captain replied 'I am car rying out maneuvers with the British Navy"
 f The Manager accepted the eXplsRa ton, and passed from the subject There were other news events oi greater interest to him than naval ma neuyers What of the Home Rule Bill? Was there any risk of civil wal over it?
 Captain von Muller professed tC have no information on that subject But he did know, he said, that tho Pope was dead.
 The Captain was so pleasant gener ally that the old Manager said h' would have liked to pay him a seconC visit had not an accident to the ma chinery of hisn motor-boat prevented him. Won Muller was distressed tC hear this and sent two of his engin neers ashore at once to repair th' damage The Manager was charmed with this spirit of courtesy and en treated the Captain to come ashore and allow him to make some hospita ble return, but the Captain declined The maneuvers in which he was par ticipating, he said, required all hi time, and he must not allow anythin to delay his departure.
 Before the Emden sailed away how ever. the Captain sent his card to tn Manager with a farewell message an with the card bottle of wine and box of cigars.

HOW TIMES NAVE CHANGED

People used TO think that a $75 buggy
was an extravaganza. The farmer who
bought an extra spring seat for his
wagon was looked upon as an extrava
giant man Then the farmers ventured
togo so far as to buy spring wagons,
which represent an extreme of luxury.
And when they came to top buggies the
extravaganza was completed. But
nowadays they pay ten or twenty times
what top buggy Used to cost and they
seem to be getting along financially,
too. Times and customs change and
the changes have been nowhere more
sudden than here. The automobile has
wrought the greatest of all changes,
and while some evils come out of the
craze for running automobiles, we be
lieve that also much good will come
from the habit The social life of the
people has been greatly improved. We
have less of isolation and less of discon-
tent on the farms, for those on the
farms are no longer either shut in OF

HALF BILLION DOLLAR LOAN

Speaking of the great half billion
dollar loan now being lloated in this
country of French and English bonds
the Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
1t is the largest foreign loan ever
floated in any country at one time.
Barring one civil war issue, it is the
largest ever made in this country of
any character. The syndicate behind
the loan is not only the largest but by
far the most powerful which has even
underwritten a bond issue in the
world. And the bonds themselves
are unique. They stand alone in be-
ing a direct obligation of two great
nations combined. They are the first
ever issued in the currency of the
lending instead of the borrowing ma
tion. These are dollar bonds which
France and England are selling in
America This transaction for the
first time IN history exalts the dollar
mark above the pound sterling in
international finance. This one issue
equals all the other foreign bonds
sold in the United States at various
times. Another odd feature of this
bond sale is that every penny of the
loan will remain in the hands of tka
lenders instead of going into the
pockets of the borrowers. 1t is
American money in American cur.
rency, and will pay for American
commodities and American wages.

PEACE PREPARATION

Huron Huronite: If the general
government would expend portion
OF the money it proposes to use to
build q navy that will begin to decay
before it is completed in the con-
struction of dam at one of several
practicable points on the Missouri
river, 1t would have something be-
sides junk to hand down to posterity.
Electricity enough to furnish all of
South Dakota with power could be
generated by such dam and the
water, as it performed it's mission,
could be used to irrigate hundreds of
thousands of acres Of the richest
land in the world.
The general government would thus
be doing a great deal more for the
human family than by sailing about
10 painted ships with chip OH its
shoulder seeking fight where there
IL no one to fight.
The promotion of peaceful industry
is of much greater value to the deni
zens of the earth than the promotion

MEET IN JANUARY

Huron Huronite: The state is be-
ing advised through circulars put
forth by Il. 0. Richards to send its
committeeman to Pierre next Janu-
ary aud there announce the majority
and minority candidates for office of
the parties.
Ii the court sustains the court be
low in it's declaration of the unlawful
character of the Richards law, the
candidates thus selected can be plac-
ed on the ballot by petition, under
the legislative act and the parties can
go ahead with their campaign in the
regular way.
He manlfests an intention, if sucb
course becomes necessary, to take
the case to the federal supreme court.
Should the Richards law there be
sustained, the selections made at
Pierre in January will become the
regular ticket. in opposition to a
ticket that may be named under the
legislative act that its promoters are
sndeagoring to substitute for the act
of the people.
This is precautionary movement
that commends itself to those in
favor of the enactment made by
popular vote.
1t is possible that the case may not
| reach hearing in the federal court
IN time for the election, should it be
sent to that tribunal, and in that
event the law of the people is likely
to stand until the supreme court can

PRESIDENT SETS
DAY OF THANKS

Washington, Oct. 81 President Will
son today, in issaing a proclamation
designating Thursday. November 25, as
Thanksgiving day, called attention to-
the, fact that the United States has been
at peace while the most of Europe has
been at war. The text follows:
II has long been the honored custom
of our people to turn in the fruitful au-
tumn of the year in praise and Thanks
giving to Almighty God for his
many blessings and mercies to us as
nation. The year that is now drawing
to close since we last observed our day
ofnational thanksgiving has been, while
year of discipline because of the
mighty forces of war and of changes
which have disturbed the world, also
year of special blessing for us.
Another year of peace has been
vouchsafed US; another year in which not
only to take thought of our duty to our
selves and to mankind, but also to adj
just ourselves to the many responsible
ties thrust upon us by a war which has
involved almost the whole of Europe.
We have been able to assert our rights
and the rights of mankind without
breach of friendship with the great ma
tions 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 DEM
| onstrate our desire to make the Offices
of friendship the means of truly dis
interested and unselfish service.
Our ability to serve all who could
avail themselves Of our services in the
midst of crisis has been increased by
gracious Providence, by more and more
abundant crops; our ample financial re-
sources 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
the world is shaken by unparalleled
distress and disasters.
The extraordinary circumstances of
such time have done much to quicken
our national consciousness and deepen
and confirm our confidence in the prin-
| ciples of peace and freedom by which
we have Railways sought to be guided.
| Out of darkness and perplexities have
come firmer counsels of policy and
clearer perceptions OF the essential
welfare of the nation. We have pros
pered while other people were at war,
but our prosperity has been vouch-
safed us, we believe, only that we
might better perform the functions
which war rendered it impossible for
them to perform.
| Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Will
son, president of the UDited States
of America, do hereby designate
Thursday, the 25th OF November
next, as day Of thanksgiving and
prayer. and invite the people through.
out the land to cease from their
Wonted occupations and in the sever
al homes and places of worship rend-
or thanks to Almighty God.

reports the Economist, is we'll en-

about sixty days ago." Collections
are generally satisfactory which
means that people have money enough
to pay their bills, and are sure of the

let the money go. Retail merchants
are buying more freely. A large
