PREPARE FOR THIS.

When we contemplate indus
trial and commercial conditions
we see that we are living in
FOOLS paradise. The temporary
prosperity to which our oppo-
nents point has been created by
the abnormal conditions incl
dent to the war. With the end
of the war there will be the
new conditions determined by q
new Europe. Millions Of men
in the trenches will then re-
turn to work. The energies Of
each of the now belligerent ma
lions highly trained, will then
be turned to production.

rLAN VACATION FOR HEALTH
Period of Release From Toll Should
Be Wisely Spent, or It Is Worse
Than Useless.

Ostensibly you go on vacation to
marks the Philadelphia Evening Ledg-
er. But how many achieve it? To
most of US a vacation is respite
from toll, with license to overeat,
oversleep and overdo everything that
we take in normal doses during the
period of hard labor. Who is there who
hasn't returned from a vacation
spoiled by Indigestion, excessive play
or a lazy indulgence in doing nothing,
with the conviction that the pleasures
and increased health he expected to
find were delusion?
The best vacation is not SO much
freedom from the necessity of work
ing as 1t is a change, new scenes, new
people, new ideas, all taken in mod
Grafton. AS such they are tonic.
When you start forth, just to avoid
the necessity of calling in physician
to diagnose your ailment, take the
advice of Jonathan Swift and consult
the three lest doctors in the world
Doctor Diet, Doctor Quiet and Doc
tor Merryman' They will tell you
to eat moderately of digestible foods,
to let alcoholic liquors alone and then
to remember, as Solomon said, that
"a merry heart doeth good like a

While your sins must be atoned for
in the next world, you have to pay
for your follies also in this one.

The First Mar

The first writing known to scholars
was the account Of war waged be-
tween hostile nations in Mesopotamia,
perhaps $500 B. c. The first battle
was that between Cain and Abel. Ap-
parently men have always been quick
to settle their differences by fighting.
The first warlike king is said to have
been Osymandyas of Egypt, who
passed into Asia and conquered Bac-
tria in 2100 B. C. Palamedes Bac-
gos is mythically reported to have
been the first who ranged an army
in regular line of battle, placed sem
tinels round camp and excited the
soldiers vigilance by giving him
password. This occurred during the
siege of Troy, the date Of which is
variously estimated at about two
thousand five hundred years before
the Christian ere.

State University To Send Out
Instructor For Town Bands

Vermillion, Feb. 1.-THE en-
couragement Of community music
in South Dakota by helping in the
organizing and training OF town
and high school bands is the plan
OF the college of music of the Uni
versity Of South Dakota. The new
work is to be undertaken by Mr..
Forrest Nicola, instructor in wind
instruments and leader of the Uni
versity band, who has spent q num-
Der of years in the directing Of pro.
fessional bands in the east and on
tour throughout the country. Mr..
Nicola is arranging to give a part
of his time to struggling bands
in the state that need skilled lea
dership in the working out of pro-
grams and concerts and are willing
to pay the railroad expenses of the
instructor. He is working on an
itinerary that will enable him to
include q number of towns on a
trip.
Mr.. Nicola is enthusiastic over
the new opportunities for commu-
nifty service in the field that he has
made his life work. He began pro.
fessional concert work when he was
thirteen years old and led a
professional band at sixteen in q
casino in New York state. He has
led number of bands and for two
years was in symphony orchestra
work in Springfield, Mass. In
speaking of the work which he con-
templates doing Mr.. Nicbola said,
81 believe that if the people knew
the advantages to be obtained from
belonging to we'll organized band,
there would be many more such
organizations in the state. South
Dakota should have more good
music Membership in band
gives the best kind of recreation for
boys and young men. Il is kind
Of community entertainment which
the smaller towns of South Dakota
need. We in the college of music
want to do our share in educating
the state musically and I hope to
accomplish something by working
with town and high school bands.

The Colombian Treaty is again
under consideration by congress.
The Colombian government ctaims
that the United. States eonfisoated
the Panama strip which previous
to that time had been owned By
her, and has given her no remu.
neration. The strongest defense
that they have for this contention
is found in the words of Theodore
Roosevelt who was then president.
He says, "We needed Panama and
I took it," This is a very poor de-
Tense for nation that prides it.
self on Its justice. This defense
would equally justify Germany in
taking Belgium. She needed Bel.
gium and she took it, and Mr..
Roosevelt is bitter in his denunci-
alton of Germany. If we stole the
Panama strip, as Mr.. Rooseyelt's
statement seems to imply, we owe
it to ourselves to pay Colombia a
reasonable remuneration.
