and beating it for a farm or some
other place where could grow things
instead of e%verlastingly tinkering with
them after they've busted down" The
doctor was not talking for publication
but to some of his intimate friends in
the club. Half the time my patients
might almost as well expect me to
grow a new leg on an am%putated stump
as to really cure their kidney, liver
and heart diseases.
preventing disease is the big thing
in medical practice but how many pa
tients think of going to the doctor I'M
til they begin to feel pain somewhere,
lose a lot of weight, or have some other
symptom that makes their disorder as
apparent and insistent rs a missing
cylinder on a one-lung car? And even
then they want repair or readjustment
made by some hocus pocus that won't
discommode them any or consume any
of their time. Practicing medicine I'M
der present conditions is a fine pro-
fession-I don't think.
"We doctors are accused of being
interested in disease primarily, instead
of in health primarily. We have a fine
chance to approach it any other way,
haven't we? The only healthy individ-
uals I see in my office are insurance
solicitors, book agents, bill collectors,
and fake mining company promoters.
And they are there after my money
and not to pay me any Of theirs for
my service.
81 know that we doctors are, and
have beer to blame in a measure. We
haven't advertised our best wares. The
vast majority of people just won't
come for an inspection and overhauling
when they are feeling well any more
than the average nan will go into a
life insurance Office and lay down an
unsolicited application for an insur-
ance policy. But We can't go out and
solicit patronage as the insurance COM
panies do. The doctor who would
make a good solicitor would be almost
inevitably a poor doctor.
eff the people were a bit more wise
they would organize and hire us doc
tors to keep them we'll. Some are do
ing something of the kind now, but as
a rule they aren't doing it very wisely.
They usually try to drive too good a
bargain, to get the doctor On a con
tract at a figure so low that he's got
to skimp on service to keep out of the
bankruptcy court. The average high
grade, scientific physician will work
night and day for a mere living. But
let him realize that the public is try
ing to impose upon him and he will
be superhuman if he doesn't strike
back. The result of that is slovenly
work and ~slovenly work mea pro-
longed sickness and needless deaths.
Doctors are VIGOROUSLY poor bust
ness men but they're not the only
ones"

BETTER STALLION DAY

Better Stallion Day" will be a per-
manent event in South Dakota. The
results of this years Stallion Shows
were very gratifying. One day will be
set aside each spring for the farmers
of South Dakota to meet their neigh
bors and friends in the county center.
The center of attraction will be a
parade of all pure-bred stations in the
locality. These stations will not be
judged, but a competent lecturer on
good horses may be secured to speak.
Your local townsmen will make this
a pleasant and proftabl, day for all.
Get ready for the 1917 stallion
Day".-G. E. Morrison, Extension
Specialist in Livestock, S. d. State

SOUTH DAKOTA FIELD DAY

San Benito Oklasodak:-Last We'd
nesday morning the 4th South Dakota
Infantry put on it's first field meet. The
day was ideal but due to the fact that
the boys were not in training no world
records were broken. The order Of
events were as follows:
100 yard dash: LIST Co. C, Schwartz;
2nd Co. D, Johnson; 3rd Co. A, Lam
bertson.
220 yard dash: LIST H. @. Co., Rob
%inson; End Co. C, Wolber; 3rd, Co. c.,
Schwartz.
High jump: list H. @. Co., Robin
son; Co. c, Mitchell, and Co. A, Hughes
tied for second.
Running broad jump: LIST Co. c, Erp;
End Co. C, Mitchell; Bird Co. C, Ladd.
In this event eve companies were
entered with a total of eighteen en-
tries-Co. c taking all three places.
Wall scaling was perhaps the most
interesting event of the day. Each
company had n squad of men enter
ed, and these men in light marching
order were supposed to get over a 10
foot wall in the shortest possible time,
without touching braces. Co. H profit
ed by some of the other company's mis-
takes and made a clean get-over in a
record time of 1913 seconds. Cos. +
and G made better time but were ruled
out for touching braces. Co. e took
second, Co. |, third.
Drill down, with 3 men from each
company entered, was won by Sergt.
Corkill of Co. c. Kinney and Corp. Cot.
terrell tied for End, Co. B.
Tent pitching was won by Thomas
and Gaulden from Co. H, not because
of their neat display Of equipment, but
because all their buttons were fastened
and their ten tight enough to shed
water. Many other companies finish
ed before H, but were ruled out. The
equipment race was won by Holly from
Co. l; Hendrickson from Co. M, took
second, and Weber from Co. H, took
third.
During regular intervals throughout
the meet, Chaplain Squires conducted
boxing and wrestling matches, consist
ing of light, middle and heavyweights.
Score on Points
Following is a summary of the meet
the points being rated 5, 8 and l for
the 1st, End and 3rd places respec.

deal of giggling. In the morning a
fine breakfast was served them, and
late in the morning the happy crowd
wendell their way homeward.

short but very interesting address.

"ARE WE LOSING IT?"

Editor Register:-On page six of the
Register" for September 7th, 1916, in
an article as headed above, the idea
seems to show up that young men of
military age are not tumbling over
each other to form a company for the
Fifth Dakota regiment. Good, good, a
thousand times good! Is there any
thing more satisfactory to hear than
that we have reached q stage of civil
ization and enlightenment that gives
abundant opportunity for our youth
to find employment in the civil fields
and shops of our country?
Communities are made up Of individ-
uals, nations are made up Of communi-
ties and the world is made up of ma
tons. Just as o on as nations can
settle their troubles as do individuals
and communities in peacable courts
and the demand for labor Is greater
than the supply then will be the time
when military camps and aims houses
must class their occupants as those
unable to fill places in the civil walks
of life. The time is not quite here
but it is coming fast when to be sup
ported as a soldier or a pauper will
be nearly one and the same thing,
differing only in name and historic
surroundings.
Do not take it that this Is slurring
our boys in blue or our boys in any
other color. We are simply forecast
ing the future by the symptoms Of
the present. We can think of lots of
things that were once common and ap-
proved that are back numbers now,
and If the people really want the mill
tarist to go back and sit down that is
what they will have to do.
But as there are some who get dis
couraged in the battle Of civil life
either through laziness or incompet-
ency, a sort of a spendthrift class, the
army under present management may
be quite a temptation to such. Those
who are thrifty, saving and industrious
should not be required to support this
class when there Is no real necessity
