MOTHER - HER COMPLEXITIES.
What a complex thing is a mothers
life. The, Il want what l want when
I want it" must be entirely put
aside. Instead that all encompass
ing realm Of motherhood submerges
self. personal wishes. desires and
person ambition, while at the same
time it developes character and pa
tience.
So many mothers fail where they
are most eager to help. Mothers
want 10 have their children all that
they themselves are not. Perhaps
they are not particularly pleased
with what they have accomplished
in life, so they try to graft all their
failures on a perfectly new offspring
and hope for a bloom that will be
perfect.
The mother tries 10 make the path
of life mOOth for her children by
warning them against pitfalls.
Mothers are so up-to-date nowadays,
and are so worldly wise. They read
all the new books freighted with all
the problems on their girls. All the
foibles of society are expatiated on,
until / should think that sometimes
the children would feel like the small
girl whose mother before going out
cautioned her not TO put beans up
her nose. 1t was such a brand new
iJea 10 the child that as soon as the
door was closed she tried the exper-
iment
Mothers are apt to forget the sad
truth that their experience teaches
little TO the next generation, for in
dividuals we are to the end Of time,
and all a mother can do is to recog-
niZe that il is the spirit within that
must be strengthened, if il is to ac-
complish anything in life. A mother
can try to guide the children's young
footsteps into the right paths: the
future they must explore for them
selves.
She can try to inculcate principals
and morals, the essential virtues in
the life of the child. she can teach
the difference between right and
wrong, but beyond that she can do
little. the individual boy and girl
must take their own life in their
own handbook at it, weigh its
capabilities, and get the most they
can out Of il.
How many mothers allow them
selves to be drained by the petty
things of life. They give the same
orders or admonitions over and over
again, until they are sick Of their
own voice. and how often the moth
ers voice falls on deaf ears, because
the children hear il so constantly.
Why cannot mothers be like man
in his business? He gives an order
but once, than he dismisses it from
his mind as 1t must be carried out.
Alas this is not often the case in the
home. where. over and over again
the children are told the same thing.
1t takes a world of knowledge.
tact, little of everything to be the
ideal mother, which most mothers
aspire to be. The pity of it is there
is no schooling for it; each child is
a different proposition, nothing like
she has ever seen or heard Of before.
Nevertheless, handicapped as the
mother is from the start, the most
of them make a success of theip diff
ficult task as is testified by the fact
that there is no sweeter word in
the English language than Mother"

has been striving hard to have 1t

people and there ii met with APPROX
al but was not passed by the legis-
lature. Mr.. Richards decided to use
the initiative and have the law
passed anyway. He became angry
when his law was not passed by the
legislature and declares that a law
approved of by the people should be
given to the people, and 1t was on
this account he took this last step.
1t was taken up in the court at Huron
during September, but was over
thrown. Mr.. Richards then took IT
to the supreme court, but was again
defeated. Such laws are beneficial
and should therefore be passed be

DEAD ANIMALS
STREWN ON ROADS AND FIELDS
THEY SPREAD DISEASE.

O. II. Drake, of Huron; In driv-
ing along the road, 1t Is not an un-
common thing to see chickens, tur-
keys and even pigs, which may have
been frozen or may have died of some
contagious disease, thrown into the
ditch at the side of the road. OF
course, many times these small ami
mails are thrown out in the field and
the owner apparently thinks that he
has disposed of them so that they
will do him no harm. This is really
a short sighted policy, however, be-
cause when they remain above the
ground this way they remain a source
Of infection for other animals of their
species. and then there is another
thing: this practice of leaving the an
imals above ground Is distinctly
against the law OF South Dakota, and
law abiding citizens should make ev-
cry effort to do those things which
the law requires. The reason for the
law which requires an animals to be
burned or buried three feet deep is
that the of these animals
are many times full of disease germs.
IT is thus that hog cholera is spread
many times, chicken cholera, black
head among turkeys. blackleg and so
on through the list. tuberculosis is
also spread from these sources, and
the reason the legislature of South
Dakota passed the law requiring car
casses to be burned or buried, was
that they wished to protect your an
limals from these contagious diseases
so ii is we'll to abide by the law in
this case.
Frequently, as we meet farmers
over the country, we find a man who
says, "Why, | w have any trou-
BILE about chicken cholera, blackheao
among turkeys, blackleg or anything
like that. | have an old rake vince.
which | have fixed up here on stakes
and everything that dies Is put or

and anything around the farm thai

practice this are practicing n of the
best precautions towards the proven.
ton of the spread of disease that Il

wheel in this way does not require
very much expense, nor are the fue
expenses for burning these animals
very large. If you have not alread!

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March 1O.-Special:
Fighting of great violence between
the French and German infantry has
been in progress from Bethincourt,
northwest OF Verdun, TO the Mouse,
and east of the Meuse from the
southern slopes Of the Cote de Talou
to the Douaumont region-battle
fronts a~ggregating about ten miles in
length. Spirited artillery duels con
tinue along the remainder of the
front about Verdun. A continuation
of the German drive northwest of
Verdun is asserted by Berlin to have
netted the Germans French positions
over a front of nearly four miles and
virtually two miles in depth and en-
abled them to capture fifty-eight Off
GERS and 3,277 men. The villages OF
FORCES and R~egneville, the heights Of
Raben and the Cumieres wood fell
into the hands of the Germans.
The French did not give up these
positions without strong resistance
and suffered heavy casualties, espe-
cialIy along the southern fringe of
the Cumieres wood.
In the Corbeaux wood, which was
recently occupied by the Germans,
the French drove the Germans out of
the greater part of the position. A
German attack against the French
Bethincourt lines was repulsed.
East of the Mouse the Germans
have recaptured the Hardamount re-
doubt and in a line-straightening
maneuver have made progress on a
front of about five miles along the
southern slopes of the Cote de Talou
and the Cote du Poivre and in the
Douaumont region.
In the Woevre district, southeast
of Verdun the Germans have forced
the French to loose their hold on out
lying positions they held in the vii
lage of Fresnes. Here the Germans
assert they captured 700 prisoners.
In the Meuse hills the French artil-
lery is Smelling the guns OF the Ger
mans.
Trenches captured by the French in
upper Alsace, destructive lombard
ments of German positions at several
points north of the Aisne and the
Smelling in the forest of the Argonne
are told of in the French official
communication.
Sixteen French aeroplanes have
dropped large numbers of shells OF
the Metz-Hablons station.
Russian warships are active in tbs
Black sea, bombarding the coas'
towns, and continued progress of the
Russian forces is evidenced by thu
capture of the town of Ria, one o.
the important detectives of the Rus
sian army. In Persia, also, the Rus
slams are forcing their advance at
lively ace and have captured th'
town Senha %(Senneh) to the north o
Germanshad.
Artillery activity Is increasing
along the Dniester river and the Bes
rabian frontier.
Fifty large German warships, ac
companied by armed trawlers, zeppe
Inns and submarines, have been sight
ed steaming west off the north Hol
