see, Virginia or Wisconsin.
In fact, only 10 states in the union
had each in 1910 population as
great as the infant mortality for the
preceding decade. This mortality
nearly equaled the combined popula-:
ton of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming,
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah
and Nevada.
A report of the International Con-
gress on Prevention of Infant Mortal
ity, prepared under the direction of
Prof. Dietrich of Buffalo, said
''It was formerly believed that the
rate of mortality among children who
had not reached the first anniversary
of their birth was wise dispensation
of nature intended to prevent children
with a weak constitution from be-
coming too plentiful. Today we
know that a great infant mortality is
a national diSaSter-on the one hand
because numerous economic values
are created without purpose and pre-
maturely destroyed, and on the other
because the causes of the high rate of
infant mortality affect the powers of
resistance of the other infants and
weaken the strength of the nation in
its next generation"
If none of those infant deaths was
preventable we should have no slim
illus for trying to find remedy. But
we are assured by the highest au-
thorities that the number Of deaths
can be greatly reduced if we apply
the best methods of the growing sci
ence of sanitation.
Indeed, one great authority says
that if children were well born and
well cared for the infant mortality
rate would be negligible. The New
York state department of health has
adopted for it's legend these words:
Public health is purchasable; with

Although there has been consider

weather has not interfered materially
with the construction work which was
done on that portion of the Scenic
Highway which lies between Hill City
and Sylvan Lake. The crew has lost
very little time and exceptionally good
progress has been made, since the
work which remained to be done
was mostly earth work and the re.
moval Of trees from the right Of
way. The moist condition of the
ground has really been beneficial since
tree roots and stumps can be more
easily removed and plowing and grad
ing can be more chesply done while
the earth is moist than if in dry con.
dition.

Special Features of Our Big Celebration

SPECIAL Features of Our Big Celebration
Deserving of Special Mention.
The reporter for the Star cannot
claim the title Of ''star reporter" in
our write-up of our big three days GEL
ebration. held the 3rd, 4th aud 5th.
owing to the fact that we reserved out
OF the general write-up number of
the features for special comment, and
these, owing to stress of accumulated
business caused by.our absence from
duty during the celebration, were
omitted last week. However, our
readers will all agree with us that the
features mentioned below deserve
special notice and we also believe that
it is better late than never.
One of these features was the Rush
Vile band which came in with the big
delegation from without the city and
furnished such excellent music Satur.
day, July 3rd. The Rushville people
and their band are enthusiastic boost
ers for Hot Springs and have come
here on numerous occasions and the
people of Hot Springs are more than
grateful for their patronage and will
welcome them at any future time to
our little city.
Another important feature was the
address of Attorney Lawrence II. He'd.
riok, who WAS the speaker of the day.
Mr.. Hedriok has earned a reputation
as an orator, possessed by but few pub
lie speakers, in that he is a drawing
card whom the home folks will 20 to
hear, as we'll as those from abroad.
His speech was entirely appropriate
and ut for the time, place and occasion
and he dwelt on the present world
crisis and payed deserved credit to
President Wilson in his handling of
the interests of our country during
Americans to stand as one "For Peace
With Honor"
Mr.. Hedriok should feel fattered
with the large number of attentive
listeners who surrounded him on the
Evans veranda and who in spite of the
noisy autos. fire crackers, etc., heard
and applauded him to the end.
Last but not least is the praise due
the Hot Springs Firemen's Band. This
band though but recently organized
has under the able leadership of Nor
man q. Lewis developed into one of
the best bands in the Hills and they
we're more than generous with their
time and music during the three days
celebration, playing on all occasions
promptly on the advertised time
whether in upper or lower town or at
the park. Ii the business interests
are as generous to the band as the
band is to the city. both will benefit.

CROP CONDITIONS ARE EXCELLENT
In the Central and Western Portions Pros
poets Are Fine

Pierre, July 16-The crop condition
in the central and western part of
South Dakota, especially so far as the
small grain and hay crop is concerned
was never better at this season. Winter
wheat is we'll headed. and some fields
will be ready for the harvest within ten
days; winter rye Is also getting near
the harvest stage. Spring wheat is in
bloom, and elbows every indications of
fine crop, while the first cutting Of
alfalfa is generally in the stack. with
the second crop making rapid growth.
Corn has been backward, but with
the warm weather of the past week is
making rapid headway. There is doubt
expressed as to whether some of the
fields will mature ahead of the frost on
account of its backward condition at
this time. But much of the corn plant.
ed in this part of the state is of the
vsrities which under ordinary con-
ditions will mature within one hundred
days from planting, and as the average
frost date for the western and central
sections of the state is September 30th,
it yet has time to get through with
average weather conditions for this
section of the state.
The wild hay crop was never heavier
Oh the prairie. and stock owners are
taking advantage of the opportunity
given them by this crop to harvest q
supply which will assure them against
any winter demands which may be
made upon them for forage.

Call Congress
II am asked for my opinion on the
present crisis Holding as do, that
like Paul was among the apostles q
chosen vessel, so is the United States
the chosen patton of God to spread
peace on earth and good will among
men. Therefore Congress should at
once be called in extra session to place
an embargo on the shipment of arms,
or munitions of wst to any beligsrent.
Not because 1t is desired by Germany
but for the far greater reason that it is
morally right and necessary for our
own good in fulfilling the mission and
destiny of the United States.
Nothing should now be done by any
executive officer to create conditions
that would make war unavoidable.
The rupture Of diplomatic relations
partskes of that character and is the
beginning Of q declaration of war
which alone belogns to Congress.
Along with prohibiting the shipment
of munitions. / would insist on the
rights Of neotrsls to the high seas
