dogs and cats in the room. and how the
nurses instruct parents in the proper
care of the little sufferers, removing
them to rooms where the windows are
kept open. and where the nauseating
poultices are removed and the sufferer
properly dressed. The care of new
born infants by the visiting nurses was
also illustrated by a model.

At Fleury village the fighting still contin-
frustrated everywhere. A French biplane
was forced to descend on Wednesday near

sion, only un,mportant advance post encoun-
tiers took place.
London, Aug. 19th-The "Daily Express"
features an article by it's naval expert on
''our new Zeppelins' which says. During
the past week I have watched the great
British airships at work. and although I
am unable to make practical comparisons
with the German Zeppelins, our new air.
ships certainly seem marvellously rigid
and beautifully designed. Mariners who
have made close observations of German
dirigibIes, consider our new airshjps capa-
BILE of being handled more readily, of finer
model, and altogether less cumbersome
than the German type. Tn British air
ships, moreover, attain an amazingly high
speed"
Paris, August 19th.-The remainder o
the ruins on the edge of the village of Fleury
on the Verdun front, was captured last night

day: The battle continued violently all night

The Sisseton weekly standard. (Sisseton, Roberts County, S.D.) 1892-1929, 1916-11-10

Fred l.. Fairchild delivered one
of the most logical, convincing
addresses of the campaign last
Thursday evening at the Unique.
He was the Socialist canidate for
Governor. One of his statements
deserves repetition, that the post
office is not fair sample OF Social
istic ownership as it is in the hands
of its enemies, that is, OF those who
are opposed to public ownership,
and who therefore permit the graft
of the railroads and those who
furnish its supplies. AS he is
working farmer, he afforded
pleasing contrast to the usual pol
itican. His presence was unique.
in that his expenses and wages
were paid by the Socialist organic
alton, which is financed by pay
Of monthly dues from a member
ship who fully control their party.

Plans to Put Briquettes in Missour
River Towns.

Pierre-That South Dakota
points along the Missouri river W il
be supplied with Ignite briquettes
next year is the prediction and
plan of A. c. johnson, who has
taken up the Fernholz briquetting
process for the Ignite coal found
in the northern part of the state.
When MIR. Johnson took mp the
idea he said thSt by the winter of
1911 he would be ready to supply
all lower Missouri river points.
He is fully aware of what is srequir-
ed in the handling of freight on the
Missouri, having been in the busi-
ness between Gregory county
points and Sioux City for several
years.
His plans is to barge the coal
down the Missouri during high
water and store il in sheds i'll the
different towns.

Coming Winter to be Expensive

1t is settled fact that it will be
hard winter for everyone and es-
peclallv so for the poor.
The cost of all kinds OF footstuifs
has constantly risen until many
people are able to buy only the bare
necessities of lite
Figures gathered by the federal
department of agriculture show
that the prices OF farm products
averaged % per cent higher last
month than i'll September year ago
The retail increase is said to be
about 80 per cent.
Flour is higher than it has been
at any time since the Civil War
and is 90 per cent more than it was
last year. Beef has gone up 2 per
cent, lamb chicken 20 per cent,
cheese 23 per cent, leg of mutton
33 per cent, onions so per cent,
cabbage 40 per cent, and potatoes
more than 100 per cent.
Groceries, meats of all kinds and
bakery goods have advanced accord
ingly and are still ON the rise.
Clothing, hats, shoes, stoves,
carpets and household supplies in
general demand a great outlay.
Domestic service is more expen
sive. Hardly anything seems cheap
er excepting automobiles and the
gain with them is counteracted by
the high cost of gasoline and oil.
The redeeming feature of the
situation is that generally people
have more money than usual te
paw for things. The nation as a
whole is undeniably making money
and its income is more than its ex
penses.
But for the humber classes o
wage workers and for the business
/ of professional man on small fix
ed salary the problem is serious
'one.

Dakota Troops Expect to Cross
Into Mexico

Mitchell-Adjutant General w.
a. Forris, just back from the South
Dakota camp at San Benito, Tex,
states that the belief prevailing
among the troops is that they will
be sent over the line when the i'm
multuonsness of the general elect
ion is over. 1t is their opinion the
order is being delayed because of
the demands the campaign is max
ing OH the time of authorities at
Washington and their fear that
such action at this time might have
some effect OH the outcome of the
election.
The troops believe they will be
on Mexican soil within two weeks
after Nov. I, but the general did
not vouch safe his personal opinion
in the matter.
He declared there was no i'm
mediate prospect of the return of
the troops. The mess tents are
being boarded up apparently in
preparation for winters stay. He
declared that conditions in the San
Banita camp were excellent only
one man of the Fourth regiment
being in the hospital at the time
of his visit.

Bad Explosion at Clinton

A gasoline explosion occurred in
the Rasmussen garage at Clinton
last Saturday evening which shook
the whole town and came near
causing the death of four or five par
ties. 1t is stated that in the morn
