Beer ROOse and GasOlene
The Combination Brings Death and
Sorrow Ia a Milbank Man and
Regret to His Fellows

The fact that booze and gasoline
do not harmonize was again
demonstrated last Saturday evening
when the car driven by George
VanAsche of this city overturned
about two miles this side Of Twin
Brooks and empted the occupants
upon the ground. When the first
aid to the injured was administer
ed to the needy it was found that
Fred Lang, one Of the old pioneers
Of the city, had secured broken
arm. dislocated jaw and possible in
ternal injuries. The other members
OF the party, Faldie Schaell and
Geo. VanAsche, escaped serious
injury.
The injured man was taken to
the county Jail and placed under
the care Of the county physician,
DR.. Jacotel, and after thorough
examination Of the mans injuries
little hope was held out for his re-
.covery. He passed away yester-
day morning without regaining con-
sciousness. Mr.. Lang was one Of
the old settlers in this city and
was reputed to be goodhearted,
industrious laboring man by those
who knew him best. His tragic
end came as fitting illustration Of
an old truth that concerns the hope
lessness Of a man seeking to beat
Old Barleycorn at his own game.
This tragedy is but one Of the
many staged throughout the land
almost daily. South Shore has
become quite popular during these
dry days and the little burgh in the
hills has won a reputation far from
being enviable. The death of Fred
Lang may be traced, not to the
men who accompanied him on the
thirst-quenching journey in a car
that is not guaranteed to run on its
reputation. but to the men who
made possible the existence Of the
grog shops in South Shore.
There is no question as to the out
come of the election on November Z,
when South Dakotans will have an
opportunity to express their dis
approal of the licensed saloon, and
we have humble opinion that
such tragedies will become rare
after January !. 1917.

ALDIlAN-N VOCATION
YOu are Invited TO the Nm. r. Fman-

this Wonderful Instrument

Tins Wonderful instrument
Ever since the announcement
through the newspapers and
mags Zines of the Aoelian-V Vocation
there have been many surmises as
to the policy this comapny could
pursue in regard to it.
AS the instrument has become
better known and its unusual
features recognized, queries from
musician, members Of the music
trade and others, regarding our
attitude have become SO numerous
that it has been deemed advisable
to make a public statement.
We feel, as matter Of fact,
that the Aeolian- Vocation is one
Of the most important musical in.
struments that have yet appeared
The phonogragh itself occupies
a peculiar field. it is the inter
prefer Of all music, instrumental
and vocal. 1t appeals to every
taste and Is the most practical
and broad useful means Of supply
ing music ever devised.
The widespread comment that
has been made on the obvious sup
eriority of the Aeolian- Vocation
is significant and gratifying
tribute to the musical knowledge
and mechanical skill of the men
composing the Acclaim experimental
staff.
Indeed. the only one Of the
A eolian- -Vocalions important
musical features not directly
attribute to the Aeolian Companys
on Staff, is the device fore con-
trolling tone, known as the
Graduola. This is the intention of
Mr.. F. J.. Empson. Of Sydney,
Australia, the exclusive rights Of
which we secured two years ago.
Wonderful and entertaining as
the instrument is, its value is
seriously curtailed unless same
method of the-contro.
Mr.. Empson's intention provides
the only satisfactory method of
tone-control yet produced and has
been adopted as an exclusive
feature Of the Aeolian-Vocalon.
1t permits the introduction OF
delicate shadings in tone-color,
without actually changing ar
artists own technique and ex-
! preston, and thus obviates recorc
! monotony, :

without smothering the tone witt

Indeed the Graduola, Of som,
device equally effective, IS al
Essential part Of any phonograpl

GEN. CARTER FAv0RS
AN army Of 131,5O0
Would Have Infantry Regiment Of
Volunteers to Each Con-
gressional District.

Maj. Gen. William H. Carter, U. s. A..
retired, told the Senate committee on
military affairs yesterday afternoon
that the standing army should be in
creased to such an extent that a mobile
force of 131.500 men would be avail
able in the United States. He urged
that the Federal volunteers be. or
ganized and trained on the basis Of an
infantry regiment to each congress
sional district and that additional APP
preparations be made for the militia.
He did not believe, however. that a
period of intensive training for federal
volunteers could be accomplished. In
stead, he proposed that a colonel for
each volunteer regiment be appointed
from the regular army and also non
commissioned staff; that the troops be
enlisted for two years. and trained
in such ways as might be found prac-
tica BILE in each district. In that time,
he said, about the same amount of in
struction could be given as in six
months of intensive training.
Like all other regular army officers
who have appeared before the military
committees. Gen. Carter thought com
pulsory military service was the only
means of fully insuring the nation
against attack, though he believed 1t
unwise to attempt to enact such a
measure at present, saying that the
young men of the country should be
given an opportunity to come forward
as volunteers.

Why He Wanted Mr.. Ford.

Mr.. Wendell claims that he was sold
an old automobile when he had contracted
for the latest type. In an affidavit in sup
port of his motion to compel the appear
ance of Mr. Ford as a witness, he says
II proposed to show by Henry Ford that
the automobile sold to me was an old
one, which was shipped from Detroit DC
tober %, 1914, and that automobiles OF
the later type were placed on the market
March 10. 1915, before the automobile in
question was sold to me-"
He also sets out other things he ex-
pected aIr Ford might be able to explain.
If this information is better obtainabie
from other officers of the company, Mr..
Wendell suggests that they are beyond
the courts jurisdiction. He declares he
is informed that he had the right to sum-
mon Mr.. Ford and obtain the manufac-
turer's opinion as to the value Of Ford
machines. He admits the fee of $1.25
was not rendered to the millionaire when
the summons was served, but claims that
no demand was made for such payment
by Mr.. Ford. He claims that the fee is
not required to be paid without demand
for prepayment, and in the absence of
such demand the person served should be
compelled to attend court.
