act entitled Nobody Home. >
This sketch is pure burlesque and
was written by Andy Lockhart
while attending the University Of
South Dakota. Mr.. Lockhart is
directing the piece and during the
course of the sketch will read the
famous tranformation scene taken
from the drama, DR.. Jeykle and
Mr.. Hyde. This is the first time

trace Of common sense in the
sketch.

THE POWER OF A MOVING
DOLLAR

We always say, money makes
the wheels &C" round and we US
ually think it takes a great deal of
money, tremendous sums Of it, to
make these wheels go, but when
you stop to think about it, very
small amount does a great deal of
work. Just think for a moment.
A small coin put into circulation
will wipe out many debts and per-
chance be turned in to the man
who first set it going. This is the
idea back Of Nationl Pay Up Week.
For example, we will say that
Mr.. A. who is a merchant, owes
Mr.. B. a garage man, $500. B
in turns owes Mr.. G., the butcher,
$500 Mr.. C, owes Mr.. d, a
farmer, $50 for a load Of feed
and Mr.. d, the farmer owes Mr..
A $500 for groceries Mr.. A pays
his bill to B, who passes it on to C,
who in turn gives it to D, and d
returns it to A. Four accounts
are paid with the same $500, and
it returns TO A for use in payment
of his account to the wholesale
house which in turn pays it's help
and its places of supply, and SO it
goes. Any Of the four men can
start the ball rolling. The sonly
thing necessary is for some one of
them to pay his account to date
and put the money in circulation.
This with an honest desire on the
part of everyone to pay his debts,
helps the entire community. The
object Of National Pay Up Week
is to wipe out all the accounts pos
sible in this community. Every
body is in it and everyone will be
helped. Every time a debt is
paid, load is lifted. Let's un-
load during National Pay Up Week.
Let's start the lazy dollar going
Men Of every calling in life all over
the United States farmers, doctors,
lawyers, merchants, bankers, work
| ing men, are attracted by the pos
sibiities of National Pay Up Week
because it is not a bad debt colec.
tion devoice but plan which re-
suits in the payment Of good
debts
Pay Up Week comes in the time
of year wnen business needs just
a little added impulse to make il
go faster than it ever did before.
National Pay Up Week gives every
man a polite means of letting every
other man know that he is indebted
to him and that small favors are
appreciated. All good people will
take the hint and act upon it.

Communication

Senator Amsden is in ia vor of q
Budget system his eXplanati on Of the
Budget system of the young man
laying aside money for clothing
won't hold good, it is not compari-
son. When the government of he U.
S. was formed they did not adopt
the Budget form but made each de-
partment responsible for the money
appropriated for their use.
England and in fact all Europe
except Switzerland has the Budget
system and they are always behind
their funds soon become exhaust
ed. 1t is wise provision of law
as we'll as constitutional that each
public institution receiving
support from the state shall account
to the people Of all moneys appro-
priated for its maintenance then
the people will know at a glance
what it costs to maintain each
public institution, each institu tion
makes up their estimates for each
year, these estimates are referred to
the committee on appropriation
and passed upon and bill made
up and passed as whole that is
called the general appropriation
bill which requires a majority vote.
Special bills appropriating money
requires tWo-thirds vote. Congress
makes up bill for each item for
instance a bill for $3.50, 600, 900, O0
million for the army is taken
up and passed also the post office
bill for 5000, 100000 the Navy bill
for $3.50, 900, 900, 90 and SO on down
the list are all acted upon separately.
Senator Amsden gives a hint in
his letter as we'll as the tax com,
mission that a new commission
will be created to make up tbs
estimates which is now made ul
by the secretary of those charitable
and penal institution supported by
the state. We have multiplisity
of those commissions which is bur.
den on the tax payers. The only
way the senator can get the sen
timent Of the people is to go into
each township and discuss the pro
blem before the people if tht
people want to make tht

Vote Dry
was the Slogan OF Mr.. Chrisgau's
Speach al the Clnb Rooms Tues
day and Wednesday


What if South Dakota votes dry ?
Well in the first place this will be
a wealth ier state. A large part of
the ten millions Of dollars now
wasted in saloons will be saved for
the purchase of useful things.
Saloons not only take money which
should go to merchants but they
spoil the earnings power Of every
dollar they take in over their bars.
Sell a man hundred dollars worth
Of booze in a year and you give
him nothing that will increase his
prosperity. For example sell a
man hundred dollars worth of
farm machinery in year and you
give him the means Of increasing
his wealth. South Dakota dry will
be safer state, for saloons cause
many accidents. South Dakota
dry will be more enlightened
state, for the saloons rob thousands
Of children Of higher education.
South Dakota dry will be a more
Christian state. for the saloons take
much money that should help sup
port churches and cause conditions
that prevent church attendance.
South Dakota dry will be a more
patriotic state. for saloons under
mine the very foundations Of
country love. South Dakota dry
will be a more just state, for
saloons do not hesitate to interfere
with justice whenever and where
ever justice nterferes with
their profits. Vote to make South
Dakota dry and you will remember
it as one Of the most import ant
acts Of life time.
The above were some of the state
ments made by 0. G. Christgaui in
his talk Tuesday night. Speaking
on the subject "A German View OF
the American Saloon" on Wednes-
day night, Mr.. Christgua said that
saloons decrease the earnpower OF
money and men, subtract from the
public welfare, cause crime anc
accidents, and hinder free cover.
ment thru control of elections anc
legislatures. Answering some Of
the wet arguments he explained
that prohibition prohibits where.
eyer the neOnla Govern themselves
instead of being governed by the H.
uuor interests and their servants. Re.
/ ferring to the personal liberty argu-
ment the speaker said, No patriotic
citizen will refuse to make per.
sonal sacrifices if need be in orde,
that the general welfare may bc
advanced and innocent people pro
tected.
