Huge Tractor Show
Staged For State Fair

1t is expected that forty different
tractor manufacturing concerns will
participate in the tractor blowing
show OF the 1916 State Fair at
Huron, which will by far surpass
all previous attempts in South Da-
kota. Authorities state that the
ninety-four firms in the business
are making $50 different kinds of
farm tractors, and of these it is
predicted that sixty percent will ex-
hibit at the South Dakota Exposi-
ton during the week of Sept. III to
IS inclusive.
There are forty acres OF tractor
exhibit space in addition to and
adjoining the Machinery and Man
ufacturers Building, which itself
contains 5000 square feet of dust
and wind proof exhibit room. The
state fair board provides free to
tractor exhibitors a field of I3o
acres for plowing demonstrations
There will undoubtedly be an ex-
hiblt this year fully three fourths
of million dollars worth of trac-
tors and machinery. An array of
5000 foremen, caretakers, and help
ers will be required to handle this
great exhibit.
The reason why the tractor
show succeeds so we'll at the South
Dakota State Fair" says Secretary
c. N. McIlvaine, is because the
exposition is in the heart of the
greatest agricultural and tractor
belt in the world. The people go
wild over our show because they
know that this is the power age and
that farm tractors are here to stay.
That is why the state fair board
encourages the tractor show and
does everything within it's power to
make the demonstrations success
full both from the standpoint of
visitors and exhibitors. We an
ticipate that I25, 900 people, the
real producers of this territory,
will attend the coming exposition"

Egan Express: We heard one
OF our young men making sport of
religion in front of our Office the
other day. His moustache had
Just begun to sprout and Judging
from his talk his mental faculties
were not as we'll developed as his
moustache, During our brief stay
upon earth we have seen many such
young, cold in death. We have
seen the atheist at rest in his cask-
ct, but before being consigned to
their last resting place, they have
all been carried through the doors
OF church and had prayers said
over them. This young man could
scoH at religion in his strength and
beauty of health, but if the dark
angel should get after him he would
instinctively regret what he said
and look into the future with fear
and trembling. When one stands
before the open door of eternity his
desire to scott at religion vanishes.
We admit there are bad men in the
church but even these black sheep
in the flock might be blacker if
they were outside. No young man
or old one either should condemn
the noble efforts the army of Chris
tain men and women are making
toward bettering the condition Of
things, and whether we attend
church or not but few of us would
desire to live in community where
there was no church. Young men,
in the future, if you must scoff at
religion, please get little further
from our office if you don't want to
see vour name in print.

(From the Louisville Courier JournaD
IT Is the expected that has happened.


the past few days it has seemed the in
evitabe. For since the warning by Trevlno
that he would attack our troops if they did not
confne themselves within the limits which he
prescribed; since the foolhardy demand of Car
rama that we withdraw from Mexico; since the
peremptory refusal of Washington to yield to
that demand, it's terrific Indictment of Carranza's
bad faith, incompetence and impotence, and its
notification served on him of the consequence
should he attempt to carry out his insolent
threats nothing short of some such affair as that
now reported at Carrizal has seemed possible.
The conditions which Carranza in his fatuousness
and desperation has brought about, coupled with
the inflammation of the Mexican populace again
st the Americans, worked up so assduously by
the self interested both in and out of Mexico,
were charged with just such an outcome. If it
had not been at Carrizal it would have been the
same thing at some other point.
The United States has it's answer 1t leaves
nothing to uncertainty or misconstruction.
1t is war.
1t is war now. Not tomorrow or next day,
when congress may formally declare war; Con-
gress should go through that formality, nor lose
any time in doing it. But war exists now, and
throughout this land the hope throbs in every
American heart that Pershing will have avenged
the blood of his men slain at Carizal before he
has heard of any declaration of war from Wash
ington Wars nowadays certainly springing
from such conditions as those in Mexico, do not
wait declarations of legislatures.
1t is war; Let us strike hard and quick. Let
us make it short war; but at all events thor
ough war. We have warded it off incredibly

patient with Mexico beyond normal human nat
ure; we have sought to befrend her as no other
nation could or would befriend her, and in the
attempt to befriend her we have suffered out
rage and humiliation at her hands which we
have suffered because we were strong, but which
she conceives we have suffered because we were
cowardly All that is over now There are some
maladies which only war can cure Mexico has
brought such malady and such remedy upon
herself. 1t is for us now to be as heroic in ap-
plying it as we were patient in applying the
peaceful remedy that failed.

The clerks Office at the courthouse

The preacher-carpenter was told
if the girl was an orphan he would at

guardian, and later he returned with

and easy of access. The sufferings of
the Jews in frozen in lands has but
been touched upon.
"The Jew is in every country of Eu-
rope and in every country touched by
che war he has been the principal
sufferer. In Poland and in Russia, in
territories swept first by one combat
ant and then by another, he has been
driven from home, destitute, starving.
THE stories of the suffering of Jew
ish women and children which have
reached America have been awful be-
yond words. Some bits of it were told
al meeting called by the American
Jewish Relief Association in Carnegie
Hall, New York, on December 81.
THE audience contributed $715,OOO
in 80 minutes! By next day the mil.
lion mark was reached.
-Four gifts of 100000 each were re-
celved They were from the Guggen-
helm family, Nathan Straus, a former
Georgian; Jacob Schiff and Julius
RCsenwald. Two other men gave
$4,000 each. Women tore off their
jewels and rings and tossed them to
the stage. Men threw their watcses
and diamonds into baskets and gave
them to the cause.

San Antonio
To Have Army
Eating Bats

SAN ANTONIO, Texts, Jan. 21.-An
army of mosquito-e eating bats several
thousand strong, will be turned loose
in San Antonio next month. If, as has
been predicted for it, the army
succeeds in Gripping seriously the
activities of the germ-laden mosquito
population, many other cities may fol-
low San Antonio's example and estab-
lish their municipal bat roosts."
DR.. c. A R. Campbell who has made
a special study of bats, is responsible
for San Antonio's bat roost. The in
stitution came into existence last
syring. 1t was not a success in its
first year owing to the fact that it was
established late in the spring, and its
population was not numerous enough.
This spring there is large army Of
bats on hand and it is expected to
get an early start.
DR.. Campbell says that one bat in
the course of single day will eat
one thousand mosquitoes. He expects
hordes of mosquitoes to perish daily
and that by the end of the summer the
pestiferious insects will be almost, ii
not entirely, missing from this local
ity.
The flight of the bats will begin
about February Is and from then I'M
til April 80 they will fly about all
night long, trailing and devouring
mosquitoes. Dr. Campbell says tina:
the more malaria, typhoid and other
germs a mosquito carries, the better
tie bat relishes it.
After April 80 the bats grow less
Lungry and more sleepy. By the end
of July their flight totals only about
two hours. Soon thereafter the
season for baby bats arrives.
A neighboring city haven written
Dr. Campbell asking him to get rid of
mosquitoes, he replied; Breed bats.
Then he got another letter inquiring
"But when you've got rid Of the mos
quitoes how do you get rid of the
bats?"

good work that Atlanta has known
And they invite all Atlanta, Jew or
Gentle, Protestant or Catholic, to join
them in their mass meeting and aid in
relieving the distress which calls so
loudly from across the seas"
Following is the proclamation of
President Wilson setting aside Janu-
arey 81, 1916, as a day in the United
States for the people to make contri-
buttons to relieve the suffering among
the Jews of Europe and Asia as the
result of the great war:
Whereas 1 have deceived from the
Senate of the United States a resolu-
ticn reading as follows:
Whereas in the various countries
now engaged in war there are nine
millions of Jews, the great majority
of whom are destitute of food, shelter
ard clothing; and
Whereas millions of them have
been driven from their homes without
warning, deprived of the opportunity
to make provision for their most elem
mentary wants, causing starvation,
disease and untold suffering; and
Whereas the people of the United
States of America have learned with
sorrow of this terrible plight of mil
lions of human beings and have most
generously responded to the cry for
help whenever such an appeal has
reached them; therefore be it
Resolved, That, in view of the mis-
cry, wretchedness and hardships
which these nine millions OF Jews are
suffering, the President of the United
States be respectfully asked to desig
nate day on which the citizens of
this country may give expression to
the funds now being raised for the re-
lief of the Jews in the war zones"
And whereas I feel confident that
the people of the United States will be
moved to aid the war-stricken people
of race which has given to the Unit
cd States so many worthy citizens:
Now, therefore, 1, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States, do
appoint and proclaim January 27, 1916
as a day upon which the people of the
United States may make such contri-
buttons as they feel disposed for the
aid of the stricken Jewish people,

Americus Wants to Help
Suffering Jews in War
Zone Torn By The Strife

Americas and vicinity will be al
lowed the opportunity of contributing
to the fund for the relief of suffering
Jews in Europe and ASIA brought on
by the European war.
President Woodrow Wilson in a
proclamation has set aside January
9th, as a day on which all people
may contribute.
At the request of several promin-
ent Americas Jews the Times-Record-
ed will be pleased to act as agent for
the fund and will be glad to receive
any amounts which the people desire
to contribute. D. Pearlman of Amer
icus, will also be an agent, and all
who care to contribute may do so by
writing or seeing Mr.. Pearlman or
the Times-Recorder.
The following interesting artlcle Is
from the Atlanta Georgian referring
to the work in Atlanta:
Atlanta will do her part for the re-
lief of the nine million Jews in Europe
rendered destitute by the war.
