LONDON, June 15.--In reply to the
continual demand of a large part of
the newspapers for conscription, a
committee of non conscriptionists has
been formed and is organizing what
they call the mo Conscription Eel
lowship." The leaders of the new
movement are mostly officials of the
Independent Labor Party or or the
allied Union of Democratic Control.
Their organization, they state, is "a
fellowship of common counsel and
action of men of enlistment age who
are not prepared to bear arms in the
event of conscription, whatever the
penalties for refusing" The articles
of membership explain further:

of some method for completely con
trolling the spread of typhus causing
vermin. Much alike in their symp
toms, Mr.. Showalter explains, typhus
and typhoid are spread in widely
different manner, and, hence, demand
a widely different sanitary strategy
The typhoid germ takes its depar
ture from the intestinal tract, spreads
to drinking water and foods, and
infects, in that it finds it's way int
a healthy digestive system. The typhus
germ is drawn from infected blood
by blood sucking vermin and by the
vermin carried to fresh victums. A
peasantry crowded together behind
the fighting lines and the soldier con
centrations in camps and hospitals
made ideal conditions for the spread
of the vermin borne plague.

come in Servia," concludes this part
of the consideration, "that Major
General Gorgas, surgeon general OF
the United States army, has been
offered the post of adviser on world
sanitation in general and Servian
typhus work in particular, with a
liberal salary and a pension for him
self and his widow in case of inca
pacitation or death, his distinguished
achievement at Panama stamping him
as a worlds authority, not only in
the critical knowledge of sanitation
but in actual carrying out of cam

sudden spring from obscurity full into
the center of the stage of nations, the
writer says:
with an area no larger than the
state of Maine and a population
smaller than the city of New York,
, the little kingdom of Servia has play
ed a role in the recent past the full
magnitude of which cannot be reck
oned until the end of time. Mayhap
it has changed the whole course OF
human history.
Some years ago it was said of the
/ Balkan peninsula that it was the
powder box of Europe, and the events
of last summer proved the statement
true; and then some one little later
observed that if the Balkan peninsula
were the powder box, Servia was the

ADVERTISING A COLLEGE

The following article written by
Prof. G. A. Starring, appeared in the
last issue of Judicious Advertising, a
magazine of world wide circulation.
The article is illustrated with a graph
showing the increase in attendance
over a period of years, and with two
samples of the kind Of advertising
used. The article is as follows:
Newspaper advertising is largely re-
sponsible for the fact that the attend
ance at the South Dakota State College
was increased from 500 TO 1000 stu
dents in three years. whereas it took
twenty-seven years TO reach the six
hundred mark. Although various meth
DDS were employed to reach prospects,
yet the entire publicity campaign has
been built up around paid advertising
in newspapers and state magazines.
When the campaign for a larger at
tendance was begun, the discovery was
made that the people of the state were
ignorant Of their own college, many
o even knowing where il was locat-
ed, It's size and the character Of its
work were little known. Obviously the
first necessary thing to do was TO bring
complete and convincing information
concerning the institution to parents
and to young men and women Of col
lege age.
II was also discovered that more
than three hundred South Dakota boys

TO CONSERVE WATER SUPPLY

Between one hundred billion anC
three hundred billion gallons OF water
are poured annually upon the lands ot
South Dakota by her artesian wells
and of this enormous quantity of water
there has never been more than one.t &c
three per cent used in any economic
manner" This estimate and startling
statement was made by nr, Ellwood {.
PeriSho, President of the South Dakota
State College before a special hearing
OF the state legislature on Monday
morning, the subject OF the discussion
being the conservation OF arteslan
wells.
1t seems unbelievable that the PEG
pie Of South Dakota would SQuandcr
eS per cent of all this wonderful tov
OF water. conscious as we must be that
every rear adds 10 the decline In the
pressure and 10 the number OF wells
that have ceased 10 flow. Cpless
something is done and done quickly
ii Will not be Ions until this mos;
famous arteSian well basin OF the
world will become a thing of the past
and all ove this vast prairie instead
OF flowing wells you will find common
pumps, windmillS or gasoline engines.
II is too bad for this generation to b.
so wastetul that the next will have to
pump all the water used in the state.
We should take some practical steps
toward the saving OF this wonderful
resourc OF South Dakota"
President Perisho stated that this
waste OF 81 TO 90 per cent cannot he
prevented unless the artesian wells b.
closed down in some manner. He sug-
gested the difficulty of shutting off he
ordinary arteSian Well pipe because
the water pressure below wears away
the clay or shale outside of the pipe
and ruins the we'll. There is no
feasible method OF doing this" said he.
unless an iron pipe which reaches to
the surface from the solid rock be
meath is swedged into this imperyious
rock so securely that the water cannot
force itself between the pipe and the
walls of the well.
IF we had a law which provided
that all we'll drillers must of necessity
swedge the pipe into the rock most of
our wells could at once be shut down.
In a few scattering cases this might
not be feasible on account of the sand
which is brought up with the artesian
water, but such cases are so exception.
al that they would but slightly inter
fere with the general plan of saving
our artesian water. The situation is
so critical that something should be
done and done at once to prevent any
further waste"
A large part of President Perisho's
address was devoted to an illuminat-
ing discussion of the pressure and flow
of artesian wells, the waste of artesian
water, the history of artesian wells in
South Dakota, geological conditions
necessary for an artesian well basin,
the artesian well area of South Da-
kota, and some of the most famous
wells of the world.
