when a FeIler
Needs a Friend

Commenting on a Press article
about church attendance in Miller,
the Rec Heights Review tells when
men need the minister thus:
The reason most men don't go to
church is because they don't want
to. But let the Angel of Death en-
ter one of their homes, and the man
hustles out post haste after the min
lister to coduct the funeral service,
and of course the minister comes
and comforts the distressed, and
some of the church members come
with little acts of love. They for
get the years hat YOU have never
let your face be seen in a church
service, and they never ask If you
have paid anything for the support
of the church, and those sneering
remarks you made about some Of
the church members who made a
few m~instakes- all these will be
forgotten, because it's Christian
like to forgive"

COUNTY BOARD NO
RIGHT TO REFUND
Assessment Matters Discussed by
County Auditors

Pierre Capital-At the annual
meeting Of the county auditors and
other assessment officials with the
state tax commission, practically
every county was represented by its
auditor, with a number of county
commissioners and assessors meet
ing with them to discuss the pro.
blems of assessment and taxation.
and the best method of meeting
conditions that exist. One feature
which appeared to trouble many
counties was that of refunds of
taxes for various causes. The SUI.
preme court holds that no county
board has any right, to make
refunds of taxes, which makes
the situation a hard one to deal with
when an error has been made. and
the general sentiment was for legis-
latIon to cure this situation.
The manner of making assess
ments was another feature, and the
auditors generally expressed them
selves in favor of the county assess
or system, with one man respon-
sible for the whole assessment, and
he to be appointed under a civil SER
vice examination for fitness, such
examination to be before the state
commission. At least most of the
speakers who expressed themselves
held this view

Spring Diet, Says
Covenant Bureau

The government Health Bureau
at Washington is issuing bulletins in
an effort to prevent some of the all
ments to which humanity is accus-
toned. A late one treats of pellagra
skin diseases, common in the
spring time after a winter of eating
and inactivity.
The bureau advised a careful diet
similar to the following:
1.-The breakfast, for example,
should consist of oatmeal and cream,
without sugar, with either ham or
breakfast bacon and two eggs. Not
more than two thin slices of whole
wheat bread should be taken, pre-.
ferably untoasted. Hot bread or
biscuits are inadvisable. A glass of
fresh milk is to accompany the
breakfast and either oranges or
grape fruit may be the initial
course. The dinner should consist
of either pea or bean soup. prepared
from dried peas or beans. with a
meat stock. The meat may be beef,
pork, ham, chicken. veal or mutton,
prepared in whatever manner is the
most appetizing, preference being
given to the roasting or broiling
rather than frying. Hamburger
steak. meat hash, or fish may be
substituted TO afford variety. Care
should be exercised that meats are
not overdone. OF vegetables. Irish
potatoes boiled in the jacket or
baked, cabbage, turnip or mustard
greens. collard and lettuce. are to
be recommended. For des s t,
stewed, fresh or dried fruit will
prove sufficient. The dinner should
be accompanied by not more than
two thin slices Of whole wheat
bread and a glass of buttermilk.
The supper should consist of pork
and beans, or baked beans properly
seasoned, the usual amount of bread
and a glass of butter milk. If pre-
ferred. eggs. scrambled or otherwise
prepared, NAV be substituted tor
the more substantial ingredients of

Burke Calls Mass Meeting to
Select Candidates For
Delegates

Believing that it is contrary to
Republican principles for a select
few, actuated by selfish motives, to
secretly choose the delegates to the
National Convention, and believing
that there should be a general con-
ference. to which all Republicans be
invited. for the purpose of propos-
ing candidates for delegates to be
submitted to the voters at the pri-
mary election, and furthermore be-
lieving that there should be some
opportunity for an expression as to
whether the delegates to be elected,
be committed to the candidacy of
only one candidate. or whether the
delegates should be given latitude
to support and vote for the stron-
gest and most logical candidate for
President, and with a view to the
general welfare of the party, a con
ference is hereby called at Mitchell,
S. d., on Friday, April 7, 1916, at
HOO o'clock a. m. which all Repub-
licans IN the state, favoring party

Governor Names
Clean=Up Week

Governor Byrne has issued a pro-
clamation calling upon the citizens
of the state to unite in a general
cleanup week naming the week
May l-6 as the time for so doing.
The governor says in part:
The springtime, when Nature is
taking on a new garb. is especially
appropriate for cleaning. renovat-
ing, renewing and beautifving. Let
us clean up the streets and alleys,
the corners and angles about build
ings and the yards and spaces SUI
rounding our homes. using a little
fresh paint where needed. and thus
add to the attractiveness. comfort
and security Of our surroundings"

Crop Conditions
Outlook Good

Frost is going out of the ground
in fairly good season, and if no I'M
usual weather disturbance occurs, a
grea. deal of the seeding will be
done in April. Last spring the
work was from two to three weeks
behind, owning to the excessive
spring rains. This loss of time was
never recovered during the year.
The ground contains an abundance
of moisture for spring cultivation
and seeding. and the unusual de
mand for farms the past three
months indicates a big acreage.
The one draw back to very favorable
start for a 1916 crop. is this fact of
so many renters wanting farms and
can't get them-because there are
so manv pieces of land in this local
ity with no buildings on.

THINKS MILLER
BETTER THAN PIERRE
Platte Tribune Man Sees Improve
ment In Central Part of State

THE Editor recentlv returned
from a trip through the central part
of the state from east to west and
back again. During the year that
has elapsed since we last visited this
part of the state, we note many
changes; especially is this true of the
towns along the Northwestern line
from Huron to Pierre. To n ia
miliar with these places, the change
is noted more preceptibly.
Miller, the best town between
Huron and Rapid Citv-the capital
city not excepted lis the county
seat of Hand county. Miller has it
ala beautiful shaded business
street lighted by cluster lights fur
nished by a municipal lighting plant
which is paying the city a gross
earning of $1,000 per month, a COM
mercial club of better than one hun
dred members, every one Of whom
is a living, walking advertisement Of
Miller and Hand county. 1t costs
twenty-f dollars to become a
member Of this organization and
one dollar per month dues. The
club owns and maintains a club
room second to none in the state,
and the visitor to this enterprising
little city is well taken care Of at
this club. Just at this time the
members of this club are discussing
and laying plans for a magnificent
new court house and a Carnegie
library. The court house may be
erected on the main business street
as near the center of the business
district as it is possible to get it. A
Millerite will give you as a reason
for this that the business men of
that town are too busy to spare the
time it takes to reach a court house
which is located several blocks away
as is the case at the present time"

ITO PREVENT WAR
LET WOMEN VOTE"
Belief of S~uffragists That Wars
Would End With Vote
BY Suffrage Committee.

Extracts from "A way to prevent
war by Allen Benson.
Perhaps the greatest shock the
human C ever received was caused
by the breaking out Of war in
Europe in the summer of 1914.
Dull indead was the mind that could
not think in those days. Some men
thought as they had never thought
before, and some men thought who
had never thought before. In the
face of common danger, men struck
out for the truth. regardless of what
they had regarded as true the day
before. During this period of ire
mendous intellectual activity, one
clear note was heard again and
again, heard in Europe. heard in
America. heard everywhere-Wo-
men must have the vote. The war
has proved it. A gentleman. who
wrote from the Reform Club in
London, thought it was not to much
to hope. that the war would give
the ballot to women. He had al
ways been opposed to the enfran-
chisemcnt Of anybody out men. In
the Liberal party. he had fought the
enfranchisement of women. But in
the great tumult of war, he heard a
voice he had never heard before
the voice of woman CRYING for the
means with which to protect herself.
The same cry was heard in America.
Newspaper after newspaper echoed
it, sometimes it was echoed in an
editorial, sometimes IN a picture.
but always the argument and en-
treaty was the same. The argu-
ment was to this point: Women
bear the children and care for them
until they are grown. War kills
the men outright and drives the
women before it as before a prairie
What women have borne,
women haye a right to protect
with their ballots.
Anyone a say that women don't
understand the tariff question. or
the currency question. but no
can prove that women DO not know
whether they want war. Women
know what war mean and without
moment preparation, they r per.
fectly equipped to say whether they
wish to exchange peace for
Women. armed the world over with
half the war making power, would
instantly become a political factor
of the first Importance. With this
power in the hands of women. eter-
nal peace would come to the world.
1t is uncomfortable that more than a
handful of women would ever vote
to deluge the earth with blood.
The most enlightened men of the
land are eager to give the ballot to
women. Men fear war and need
peace. Men know women abhor
war. No man could ever be con
Vinced that the women of this coun-
try would vote to convert the United
States into a slaughter house. Show
men, that If both men and women
had the power to vote on war. there
would be no more war and men
would instantly be supplied with a
reason they never had, for giving
the ballot to women. A woman
who would declare peace to be pre-
ferapIe to war would convince most
men that she understood something
about war, even if they believed she
understood nothing about anything
else
