MOTHERS CONGRESS CORNER.

To save 10000 babies in 1916 is the
slogan of the Congress OF Mothers. 1t
Is the steady day by day, month by
month, year by year work that counts
in any thing. So it is in the work of
saving our babies. But the Congress of
Mothers, along with the Federated
Woman's Clubs and Educational Bu-
reau, is giving special attention to that
line of Child Welfare turing this, the
National Baby Week.
The opening session of National Baby
Week was held at the NJ. 4. church on
March 5th, at 2:30 p. m. The lullabies
rendered by Misses Bailey and Nc
Donough, the anthem by the M. T..
choir, cornet solo by Master Gordon
Kneeland, and the vocal solo For am
His lamb" by little Eva Wilson, in her
sweet, clear voice, gave an afternoon Of
delightful and soulful music.
We appreciated the message brought
to us from the poem rendered by Miss

ARB0R AND BIRD DAY
Governor Byrne Has Named Day for Oh
servance of Two Matters of
Much Importance.

Pierre, March 4--Governor T. Byrne
has included Bird day in his Arbor day
proclamation this year, encouraging the
protection of birds not only for their in
terest and song, but their usefulness to
the world in destroying insects. The
proclamation follows,
The culture and growth Of trees,
shrubs, flowers and all plant life is both
interesting and profitable Out of the
interest in arboriculture in its various
forms has grown the custom of deyoting
a particular day Of each year to its
promotion.
80, also the protection Of song and
insectivorous birds is of interest and
practical value to us all. While we ap.
preciate the charm Of the birds and
their minstrelsy, we are prone to over
look their services in destroying insects
and small animals that prey on farm
crops, and too seldom take thought for
their preservation.
"rhe cultivation of trees is in har-
mony with the protection of bird life,
and the two should 90 hand in hand.
Trees and shrubbery attract birds and
encourage them to tarry and rear their
young in the shelter so afforded. On
the other hand, birds are the great des-
troyers of the enemies Of tree and plant
life.
$50 encourage the planting of trees,
shrubs, vines and flowers, and the pro-
lection and development of bird life, /,
Frank NJ. Byrne, Governor of the state
of South Dakota, do hereby designate
and proclaim Friday, the l4th day Of
April, 1916, to be Arbor and Bird day,
and urge the people of the state to OBJ
serve the day by making it the occasion
of nurturing sentiment in favor Of tree
and plant culture and bird protection,
and by the actual planting of trees,
shrubs, vines and flowers about their
homes, along the highways and on the
grounds Of school houses and other pub
~
"On farms and about country homes
where tree culture and bird protection
can be most effective and of greatest in
terest-do particularly recommend
such planting and bird protection, with
view to enhancing the beauty and
comfort of these homes.
81 call upon the schools and all educa-
tional institutions in the state to observe
the day in spirit and in fact by such APP
propriate ceremonies and exercises as
will fittingly recognize its practical, his
toric and aesthetic significance and by
actual planting in all convenient places.
Witness my hand and great seal of
South Dakota affixed hereunto this 3rd
day of March, 1916
Prank NJ. Byrne. Governor"

CUSTER.

A charming tom in the heart o. the hills,
Surrounded by mountain shapes fantastic;
Near babblng brooklets, and ripping rills
Failing from m0tmtain heights majestic.
Wonderful town with scenery unrivaIed
BY any land on our wbirling sphere.
With cline most healthfuf Sfld always mild
The Manitoh Great loved 10 finger here.
Your lakelet is circled BY heights Hrbime
Ana emeralds set in the hallows
Where lofty pine trees aged by Time
Look at themselves In the shadows
Oh, Sylvan Lake with water cool
And black bass swimming In IL,
With towering cliffs around your pool
And song Of robin lark and linnet
Accept this wish from unknown friend,
That may your wealth OF charm ne'er end,
Bnt always you may be the Queen

So Custer town, near sparkling creek,
And mountains and green forest;

LAW KNOCKED OUT
United States Supreme Court Dismisses
South Dakota Primary Case-No
Jurisdiction, 1t Says.

Washington, d. c.. March THE
supreme court has dismissed, for want
Of Jurisdiction without written opinion,
the appeal of X. o. Richards and two
other taxpayers of Beadle county, S. d.,
from the action OF a South Dakota state
court in refusing to eDjoin the county
auditor from enforcing last spring the so
called Legislative primary law" The
taxpayers claimed that the legislative
act which on its face repealed "the peo-
ple's primary law" adopted under the
initiative provisions of the state consti-
tuition was void.
Controversy Ended.
Sioux Falls, S. d., March THE dis
missal by the United States supreme
court of the appeal brought by r. y.
Richards of Huron, s. d., from the de-
cision of the South Dakota supreme
court upholding the legislative repeal
of the Richards primary law ends the
controversy over the validity of the re-
peal.
The Richards primary law was enacted
under the initiative amendment Of the
state constitution by direct vote Of the
people in 1912 after the legislature had
refused to pass it, Dissatisfaction with
the complicated processes led to the ini-
tiation of another primary law to re-
place it, but the voters rejected the pro-
posed substitute in the 1914 election.
The 1915 session of the legislature then
enacted a substitute primary and re-
pealed the Richards law, the supreme
court ofthe state sustaining the repeal in
a subsequent mandamus of the proceed
ings Instituted by Richards.
Richards appeal to the United States
supreme court was intended, he said, to
settle the point whether legislature
may repeal law enacted by direct vote
of the people.

SPRINGS HAS


Hot Springs, March 7.-Angered be.
cause his attentions were not regarded
seriously, W. II. swingle, who had the
reputation Of gambler in this city,
made futile attempt Saturday to kill
Miss Alice Degnan aud then committed
suicide. The circumstances surround.
ing the shooting affair were dramatic.
Recently Swingle was discharged as
foreman at the federal Battle Mountain
sanitarium and turned to gambling
heavily, it was reported. It wasssaid
that his winnings were heavy and he
thereupon asked Miss Degnan, to whom
be had been paying some attention, to
marry him. The young woman refused
him and last Friday evening he engaged
room in the Breshens rooming house,
across the hall from the quarters oecupi-
ed by Miss Degnan. Learning of this,
that evening she left the place.
On the following morning, the young
woman hired the driver of an automo-
bile to go for her baggage. While she
and the Chauffeur were in the room,
Swingle ran in and ordered the other
man to leave, if he did not want to be-
come involved in shooting affair. Miss
Degnan seized Swingle's arm as he drew
revolver, but he pulled away.
Running into the hall, she met Joe
Wapht, an old man rooming at the place.
She jumped behind him for safety as
Swingle fired, the bullet hitting Miss
Degnan in the right cheek and passing
through the roots of the tongue and out
near her left shoulder. The young
woman then fed into Wapht's room.
The old man stood at the door and re-
fused to admit SwingIe, who had threat
ened to shoot. Swingle then returned
TO his own room and fred the shot that
took his own life.
In the meantime the chatfeur had left
the scene and found George McCracken,
chief Of police. They returned to find
Swingle lying in his own blood. Miss
Degnan is being treated in local hos
pital. A coroner's inquest was held and
the body of Swingle is being held, await
irg the arrival Of relatives.

HOW TO SAVE WEAR

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion &. II. Claudy, the automobile ex-
pert, says:
Remember that gradual application
OF power, whether from engine or from
brakes, saves wear. When you stop,
push out the clutch hundred yards off,
cut down the throttle, and coast to your
stopping place with the brakes applied
gently. Don't come down steep hills
using brakes alone. Continued use heats
and wears them. Slow up at the top,
slip into second gear, and cut off the
ignition current. The engine acts as
brake or drag. Gravity, pulling the
car down, turns the engine rapidly, and
it resists. On extremely steep, rough
bills, use first gear"

MUST BE LABELLED.
Belle Fourche Bee Inspector w. M
Cox, of the food and drug department of
the State of South Dakota, was in Belle
Fourche Thursday of last week inspect
ing the ranch butter being sold at the
grocery stores. Only in two instances

ter. Butter packages must contain full
weight as noted on the label or prosecu-
ton will follow, the penalty being $50

there is snow on the ground and they
cannot get any grit or gravel. 1t is
necessary to have bank of gravel
that they can go to, and in the alb
sence of that they should be supplied
with commercial grit.
Turkeys should have access to pure
water at all times. If they do not get
pure water they will drink out of the
pools in the yard at this time of the
year. A great many people tell me
their turkeys are sick, and l attribute
the cause chiefly to their drinking the
water from pools in the yard. When
the snow leaves the ground in the
spring l take away the wheat and give
them only light feed of oats once
day, because they roam the fields and
get large amount of nutriment that
is left over from the previous year.
II you feed them oats and wheat right
along the females will be too fat The
male does not look for feed. He is
showing his beauty off all through the
spring, and l feed the males oats in
the morning and wheat at night in or
der to keep them in good condition.
"The birds should have range
every day out around the yard, and
they should never be confined to the
AS to night treatment, the
last two or three years have left my
turkeys to roost ON the fences on the
side of the barn, where they
are protected from the northwest
winds. I would not say that they are
not better there than in an open
shed. In no case should they be com
PEELED to roost in a henhouse."

TREAT CATARRH BY
NATURES METHOD
Every Breath of Hyomei Carries Heal
ing Medicated Air to the Infected
Membrane

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and
cure it with sprays, lotions, and the
like. Temporary relief may be given
but cure seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
probably have said the only way to
help catarrh would be to have a
| change of climate; but now with a
simple preparation called Hyomei you
can carry a health-giving climate in
your vest pocket and by breathing it
few minutes four times day sue
cessfully treat yourself.
The compete Hyomei outfit is mex
pensive and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei The inhaler lasts life time,
and if one bottle does not give perm
anent relief, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained at any time for a
trifing sum. 1t is more economical
than all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh, and is the only treat
ment known to us that follows nature
in her method of treating diseases of
the respiratory organs.
R. Hodgins has sold great many
Hyomei outfits and the more he sells,
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not re-
lieve. 06-12
