NEW COMPANY BEING FORMED

A new militia company is being or
ganized by J. r. Fridley and others,
and a number of young men have al
ready signed the muster roll and many
the end of the week.
AT the band concert Friday evening
several speakers discussed the ques-
ton Of preparedness and urged young
men to join the company. Rev. NJ. B.
Milne, A. f. Vinegar and J. H. Hub
bard, were the speakers. Fitness for
life's work as well as in defending the
country in time of danger were points
dwelt upon.
Sooner or later every American who
realizes that he is an American intends
tc do his share In defending his coun-
try. But IL he is not fit, or II he is I'M
trained, OF what value are his good in
tentions?
1t is not soldiers only that any of us
want to be. 1t Is soldier-citizens. We
must put our emphasis on civic ideals,
strengthen our bodies and minds, learn
the obligations Of liberty, equality,
and brotherhood, imbibe a hatred Of
evil acts and thoughts and a love of
public service, acquiring a military
training as an orderly, natural part
of our education as American citizens
who may some day be called upon to
defend u country against armed in
vasion or unbearable aggression.

ed the muster roll:

The county fair is not quite two
weeks away, and people who are dis
posed to attend are making their ar
rangements accordingly. When the
gates of the fair open this year it will
be found to be worth while, There
will be something to interest every per
son in the county, and if anybody
misses going to the fair they will lose
something. Brookings county claims
one Of the best fairs in the state. 1t is
a county pride, and every person is
interested to some extent in it's sue
cess. 1t is worthy of liberal patronage,
and from reliable sources it is indicat-
ed that there will be a large attend
ance this year.

The people of South Dakota should

vote for the amendment permitting
South Dakota to engage in good road
building. If the amendment passes

an equal amount South Dakota will Sc

and not otherwise. The general gov
eminent has appropriated SIS, 10000

pass in this state or we viii lose our

Within a year from now all factories
in the United States must cease to en-
ploy child labor or stand subject to the
law which forbids interstate shipping
of goods made in factories employing
children. This is a new law recently
passed by congress and signed by
President Wilson. Organized labor
and the good women of the country
forced congress to act on this tardy
measure. Children in factory towns
will now be given a chance to receive
an education instead of shaving at ten

ers Of eastern factories. 1t is a good
law and is approved by every patriotic

GREAT ENGLISH ESTATES
MAY BE BROKEN BY WAR

: LONDON, Eng of the results
of the war, according to reliable in
formation, will be the adoption by the
government of a big scheme of land
purchase for England such as has
been so successful in Ireland.
Confronted with the two-fold prob
lem Of providing employment for dis
charged soldiers both during and aft
er the war, and the desirability of in
creasing homegrown food supplies,
the Home Office, the Board of Trade
and the Board of Agriculture entered
into consultation with the war office
and the admiralty, and the outcome
was the appointment by the Board of
Agriculture Of special committee
presided over by Sir Harry c. w Yer
ney.
The report of the committee is said
to recommend extensive state aequisi
lions of land by compulsory purchase
for the establishment on a large scale
Of colonies of small bolders and the
development of cooperative buying
and marketing and of agricultural Gre
dit banks, together with a provision
for a large state grant 70 put the
proposals into operations.

Do you want TO know the one thing
that can be worse than the European
var? John Davey, big brother to the
Eirds and tree physician. Kent Ohio's
arbiter of lawn and stream, has found
out what il is. n
Mr.. Davey tells an audience each
night at the, West Side Y NJ. C. A.:
Human life depends upon yegeta.
ton We would all starve If vegeta-
ton ceased for a year. But yegeta-
ton depends upon the birds, who pro.

MANY MILLIONS
JOINED CHURCH
LAST Is YEARS
Encouraging Report Issued BY
American Federal Council
of Churches

In a bulletin of church statistics
published by the Federal Council Of
the Churches of Christ in America, il
Is pointed out that the total net gain
Of COMMITMENTS for 1915 was 653,640
for 1914, the falling off amounting &c
more than 12S,000.
The increase of ministers, says the
report, is by no means discouraging,
although less than half that oil 1914
In part, the report continues as fol
lows:
Part of this difference is due TO a
decrease among the Lutherans of near
ly 1900. The explanation of this con
siderable decrease where substantial
gains have appeared hitherto is not
at hand, but il is not unlikely due in
part to faulty statistics.
"A decrease in Lutheran churches
of nearly 1000 may be attributed large.
~ to the same cause There Is good
reason TO believe that the Disciples Of
Christ had good year in 1915, but
unfortunately they were not able IL
report any figures for the past year
up W JdIiudi $50 anu ihOoC "a AoA 4
are used The apparent loss of over
II, O09 members and $50 churches by
the Cumberland Presbyterians is prob.
ably to be accounted for by more accu.
rate returns.
The fact that the grand total show;
an actual loss instead OF the usual net
gain of more than $50 churches is
worthy of careful study. One large
body, the Southern Baptists, reports
neither gain nor loss of churches, and
yet il had an increase of commune
cants of over 10000. Probably the
closing or consolidation of rural
churches is an important factor.
1.-The advance of the churches in
the quarter century since 1890 should
be accepted, it would appear, as dis.
tinctly encouraging. The total gains
are as follows: 1851 ministers, Co..
q37 churches and 1s,762,411 commun
eants, the gain in communicates be-
ing about 81 per cent.

DEATH TUESDAY

Rev. A. A. Ebersole will take up one
of the most interesting and important
discussions in his entire repertoire
when be faces the Mems Bible classes
at the Y. NJ: C. A. Next Tuesday even
ing, What Jesus Teaches About
Death" will be the topic of the evening.
Everyone has to face death at some
time. And yet there are few subjects
on which there is greater divergence
of opinion. 1t has been the source of
almost endless discussion among pe0-
pie of various nations and beliefs.
The Christian pins his faith on what
Jesus Christ says, about death AMI
how to so. live as to prepare for it.
The subject does not admit of mathe-
NAUTICAL proofs and careful study and
consideration are necessary in order to
form fair conclusions.
This topic is the first of series
of three along similar lines to be pre-
sented by Mr.. Ebersole TO the Y. M. C..
A. mems popular Bible class on Tues
day evenings. Heaven win be the
second and He'll the third The
class is open to all men of the city:

admission fee is charged.
