TRAINING CAMP NOTES.

One cute little soldierette, daughter
of prominent army officer, was found
fast asleep the other night tightly
clasping in her arms the camp baby.
She was so lonesome for home and the
little ones that she had borrowed

is used in demonstrations.

Wet Ground Ignored.

Despite the heavy rain that made
the woman's preparedness camp look
like a duck pond, the young women
were circulating around to their classes
as usual yesterday, though by more devil
Gus paths. Their customary paths were
too insecure for footing. Every girl was
wearing the badge of field service

The service men were out early lay
ing platforms in the parts of the camp
most used and the girls were allowed
to seek their own courses. hitting the
high spots. rather than to follow the
customary military formation and pre-
scribed march to places where class
duty called.
The spirits of the young women
were gladdened. in spite of the rain
and consequent discomforts by the pleas
ant thrills that still survived from the
concert serena6e which had been given
them by the Mandolin Club of the Ma
tional Press Club. Something like a score
of the clubs musicians entertained the
young women in the assembly tent for a
couple of hours. They would have been
glad to continue istrumming their in
struments and singing Justify for the

promptly at 9 o'clock the tattoo sounded.

tent and the musicians. being left with

was a flag lying folded on a chair. The
rookie picked it up and tossed it to an
other chair.

Nation of Procrastinators.

Carl Vrooman. assistant secretary of
agriculture, differed somewhat from the
preceding speaker He said that the men
on the hill in charge of legislation were
rejecting as nothing else could the senti-
ment that sweeps over the country. THE
reason Is because the people have not
come to believe in preparedness. They
have procrastinated in their own affairs
The farmer lets his pillow rust or his
harness go unmended, and SO the indif-
ference and procrastination has grown In

He emphasized the need not more for

COMING LEGISLATURE
MANY PROBLEMS FACE THE IN.
COMING SOUTH DAKOTA
LEGISLATURE.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 1.-THE session
Of the state legislature which con-
venes at Pierre early in January will
be 0ne Of the most important held in
recent years in South Dakota Many
important matters are TO come before
the session.
one Of the most important matters
10 come before the legislature will
be the enactment OF a law to carry
out the statewide prohibition amend
ment TO the state constitution which
was adopted by the voters at the cleo
ton in November. There is a gem
eral demand that.the law be made as
stringent as possible and that heavy
penalties be provided for the punish
ment of those who violate its pro-
visions by illegally having liquor in
their possession. In some quarters
10 is hoped that the law to be enacted
viii prohibit the shipment Of liquor
into the state.
Among numerous other matters it
also is expected the legislature will
enact stringent laws designed to curb
the activities Of De lawless element
among the Industrial Workers of the
World, who last summer created
reigns Of terror In some parts Of the
state by virtually Selling trains and
menacing the residents even of cities
and towns. The legislature may
make il a felony for anyone to steal
a ride ON a train, and in this way pre-
vent the wholesale influx of l. w.
WIS into the state during the harvest
period.
A number Of republican candidates
are making an active campaign
among members-elect of the legisla-
ture. In the hope of capturing the
speakership at the coming session.
Among them are A. G. Roberts, of
Day county; Louis Benson, of Moody
county; r. II. Withee, of Turner
county, and James Mcfarland, of
C|odington.
All the candidates are men of
prominence i'm the state, and the
friends of each are hopeful that their
favorite will succeed i'm capturing the
office of speaker. As the republicans
have a large majority of the members
Of both houses OF the legislature, it
is certain that they will elect the
speaker of the lower house, with
many votes to spare.
Whom the democratic members of
the legislature will unite upon as
their candidate for speaker. so they
can give him a complimentary vote,
is as yet unknown.
Republican members of the legisla
ture from Minnehaha county will ask
the appointment of Martin Monson, a
prominent Sioux Falls republican. to
some legislative position.
Members of the state bar associa
tion viii ask the legislature to in
crease the number of judicial dis
tricta in the state. so additional
judges can be added to ARE for the
increasing number of cases in the
more populous counties.
The county commissioners of the
various counties of the state also win
ask the legislature to give them in
creased powers. Present laws. they
claim. have the effect of hampering
them in performing their duties to
the best interests Of their constitu-
ehts.
The legislature also will be asked
by the woman suffragists of the state
TO again submit TO the voters, at the
general election in 1918. the question
Of granting women the right of suf-
frage In South Dakota.
