SOUTH DAKOTA GUARDS
DISLIKE PRACTICE OF
PICN|CS ON GROUNDS
Visitors Have Habit of Litter.
ing Camp-Flies Are At
tracted.

Aberdeen, S. D., July "a vail OF
sorrow and indignation comes from the
officers of the South Dakota national
guard at Camp Hagman. Redfield. 1t
is based upon two causes. One is the
habit some persons who visit the mill
tary camp have, of considering the:
camp grounds a picnic ground, ana
proceeding to dump watermelon rinds.
banana peelings. pieces of buttered
bread, cake, and other emnant Of a
picnic feast about the grounds. The
officers say it is Il difficult enough
task at any time to keep a camp ground
where there are 1900 men in a SAINT
tary condition, and that the debris left
by the picnickers attracts flies. and
flies cause disease and disease death.
So they urge visitors to the camp, II.
they must take a unch along, to re-
frain from dumping the '~'leavings" on
the calIp ground or near there. for the
sake ON the health of the soldier boys,
and to save them as we'll from the task
of acting as s%cavengers for the pic,
nickers.
Another thing the officers object,
to. is the habit of fond relatives and.
friends feeding the soldiers with cake.
pie and other rich food. Plain, sub.
stantial food is acceptable. but gifts Of,
pastry. candy, etc, is discouraged. 1t
isn't good for the health of h men.

looking forward to March II, when

South American and other neutral
ports, mainly for educational and
r~ecreative purposes, until a world

To Prepare for the Worlds Peace

WAN = SoSS
We still think that our country
Is losing prestige by not leading
In calling a conference of the neu-
trail nations to consider proposals
for insuring the future peace of
the world and indirectly to bring
a pressure to influence the nations
now at war in the direction of
peace.
We cannot understand why there
should be any doubt over the rights
of neutrals in this connection. A
means simply that be shall not
favor one belligerent at the ex
pense or to the disadvantage of the
other. That does not imply that
a neutral shall surrender any in
herent rights.
The reports are that Russia does
not desire to consider any peace
proposals until the arm of Ger
many shall be broken. But all
the time "by the Danube and the
Dnieper the Cossack hero sleeps;
by the volga and the Don the Co.'S
Cossack mother weeps," and this
mighty drain of human life must
stop sometime.
Great Britain is reported in
much the same mood as Russia,
but there are a million of Rachels
in England, Scotland and Ireland,
III Canada and Australia who are
weeping for their children be-
cause they are not" and that must
be stopped sometime.
Then the talk of wiping out a
greal nation is buncombe. The
integrits of Germany is not yet
broken, we do not thing that it is
yet jeopardized.
She has failed in her western
offensive, but her guns are still
laundering almost in hearing Of
Paris, and she seems to be vim.
ing on the eastern front, while the
defense can put up between the
west front and Berlin must have
a discouragiug look to the allies
If a convention of neutrals could
incorporate a code forbidding Of
fensive and defensive alliances be-
tween nations, but placing all
nations in alliance to punish any
nation that went to wal without
approval of a world tribunal after
hearing of a grievance, even the
nations now at war might accept
that proposition in favor of d uni
versal and lasting peace.
With that adopted there would
be no objection to Russian ships
passing to and tro through the
R~ellespont; there would be an
open field for trade to all nations;
there would be no further anxiety
on the part of any nation to add
to her navy, for what would it
avail -?
On this line a neutral conven-
ton could work to place interna-
tional affairs on a new basis, be-
hind which would be a well-foun-
ded hope of permanent peace to
the world.
1t is time for a new deal and to
make clear the fact that at last the
whole people of the world are 10
have their say in the management
of the worlds affairs.

University Notes.

At a recent meeting of the Uni
versity board of trustees, the ar
chitectural plans for a new Ii
brary building were decided upon.
The plans accepted were those
presented by W. A. Hitchcock,
a graduate of Wyoming in 1912.
Several architects competed for
the work. The construction of the
new building will probably be be-
gun in the summer Of 1918 The
structure, which will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, will be
fireproof in construction aud of a
handsome design, and will add
greatly to the facilities of the in
stitution.
Christmas vacation at the Uni.
versity began at noon, Wednesday,
December 10Th, and continue I'M
til the morning of Wednesday,
January Bird, 1917 These dates
will permit all students of the
state to spend Christmas and New
Years day at their homes. The
second semester of the academic
year will begin on Monday, Jan
uary Doth, 1917. New students
will find this an oportune time to
enter the University.
Records from the Registrars
Office at the University gave the
very interesting and gratifying in
formation that the registration of
students at the University since
Commencement in June, 1916, to-
tails 742 This is of course, inclu-
sive of the 1916 Summer School.
The registration for the correspon,
ding time of last year WAS 655,
and for 1912 was 30S. Thus, it is
readily seen hat the enrolment
has more than doubled over that
of four years ago. Equally as graft
flying is tn fact that students
from every county in Wyoming
and from twenty states of the I'm
ion are in attendance at the Uni
verslty at the present time

Of Instructions from the General
Land Office. When the confer
ence report WAS before the House
Mr. Mondell expressed the wes-
tern view generally when he said:
Il think under the circumstan-
ces the conferees have done the
best they could, but l regret a
situation presenting an agreement
when leaves the bill less salts
factory than it was when it pass
ed the House, or as it passed the
Senate, and this is doubly regret
table when We take in considera-
ton the fact that the bill WAS new
er at any time wholly satisfactory
to The West. | am heartily glad
that there is an immediate pros
poet Of securing a grazing home
stead bill, but | c4unot refrain
from expressing my regret that
this measure is in a number of
respects SO unsatisfactory IN its
form. To begin with, it should
have provided a larger acreage of
certain classes Of land. One of
the exceedingly regrettable fea-
lures in the reservation of all
minerals; this is a backward step
IN Legislation entirely without
Justification.
The bill contains no general
provision under which one who
has perfected IA homestead entry
and disposed of 1t may have the
privilege of making auother en-
try, except a privilege very res.
trlctive as to the character of the
former entry and within 20 miles.
The various sections IT the bit
granting additional entries to
those now holding homesteads
are SO restrictive that if it were
not for the preference right of en-.
try before designation, in Sec. 2,
1t is doubtful if these provisions
would be of any benefit. The
striking out by the conferees of
purchase right contained in Sec.
> Is greatly to be regretted, as is
also the addition to Sec. 2, under
which an application for designa-
ton does not give the applicant
the right to fence or occupy the
land until it is designated.
The Interior Department and
certain outside Influences sought
to have Sec. 2 entirely stricken
from the bill.
When the report was before
the Senate, Senator CLARK said in
part:
IF anybody on the floor of the
Senate nr elsewhere believes that
me bill Is going to operate for the
hrueht of those for whom il was
originally framed he is very much
mistaken, because such benefits
Ia the homesteader as were put in
by the Senate have been taken
out by the conference committee,
As that committee has also taken
out of the bill the benefits con
thIned in it as it came from the
House. L believe this legislation
Is unwise, because it will not en-

DO you care to tell me about it,
SagVlilv asked. We had so little time
the other day and ! did not like to
ask while yoH were so distressed
Her hungry eyes gazed across the
ueld and fairly devoured the man and
boy at the airplane Then they flashed
back and fixed themselves upon Say
Vile
1T was my-my mother" she said,
half ashamed. "She didn't want me to
marry Frank and so we elOped. And
after that-after we'd settled down in
our little home and after the baby
came-she told me Frank was going to
see another woman every day-a WON
an VINO wasn't a good woman, and
whose own husband wouldn't live
with her
She paused again for breath and once
more glanced toward the two at the
machine.
But Frank wasn't going to see this
Wcman, OF course?" Sayville suggested.
She swung back to him.
Yes he was she said. Mother took
me 10 a friend of hers who lived
across the street and 7 saw Frank go
in the house. Then I went home and
when he came, he said he had to work
late. 1 knew he was lying but wouldn't
tell him so. The next day, while he was
at the shop. L packed up my things and
took the baby home to my mother"
Sayville shook his head and looked
disapprovingly toward the airplane.
4 shouldn't have believed that Of
Frank" he said.
Il shouldn't have. either" she said
But I did because my mother kept
throwing it up to me. i wouldn't sec
him when he came to the house-my
mothers house-and I wouldn't even
open the letters he sent to me. And
then, the next thing I knew, I heard
he'd gone away and enlisted in the
marines. Then, when il was too lote,
1 found out the truth"
The truth Sayville queried What
was the truth?
The girl flushed in scarlet shame
and her glance fell.
1T was Franks married brother,
Dan, that was mixed up with that wom-
an" she said slowly. Dams wife was
beginning to find it out and the woman
was going TO make trouble for Dan I'M
til Frank fixed it up. He got her to
leave town. Frank didn't want anyone
to know that Dan had gone wrong SO
he kept it all quiet but when Dan
heard about our trouble and about
Frank enlisting, he came to me ana
told me the whole thing"
Then" asked Sayville, why didn't
you explain to Frank2"
L was mad at him-mad at him leav-
ing me and enlisting. Oh, I've been
obstinate and stubborn and wicked ana
a fool, But we've promised never 10
say anything about it again. We're
going to start all over"
wistful little look of self-reproach
came into her eyes.
Don't you think 7 might tell him
I'm sorry and ask him 70 forgive me-
she suggested.
Sayville shook his head with a pa
ternal smile.
You TO the forgiving" he said.
"and keep him begging for it all the
rest of his life. That's the only way to
handle a man like him"
yes" she agreed slowly. It guess
you're right. But women oughtn't to
