EnIists After Reproaches.

Mitchell.-Rather than submit to
further reproaches from friends
George Guzzwell, a matchmaker in a
Mitchell jewelry store for the past six
months, left last week for Winnipeg,
Canada, to enlist for service in the
European war. GuZzWell, who is a
Canadian by birth, received several
letters during the past few months
from friends in Canada, who %reproach-
ed him for his failure to return home
and join the army. GuZZwell, who is
not married. wrote to his mother in
Saskatchewan as to what he should do.
Although the husband and another son
Of Mrs. GuzzWell are already on the
battle front she did not hesitate to
urge him to return and enlist for serv-
ice. He left Mitchell Immediately at.
ter receiving her reply.

White Butte Hopeful

Located on a railway line, but COM
PEELED &c go to a neighboring town
for any railway facilities has been the
position OF White Butte on the north
ern line of this state for a number Of
years, but the residents of that place
now claim assurances hat they will
be given the privilege for which they
have made a fight of several years,
and in which they have been before
the state railway commission several
different times. White Butte is locat-
ed on one OF the loops" OF the Mil
Waukee coast line. where it crosses
the state line between North and
South Dakota, at least six times within
a few miles. The residents OF the
place have been attempting to force
a station at that place, but have been
denied the privilege for the reasons
that there are stations near them on
either side, but both in North Dakota.
The attempt to get a station under the
South Dakota distance law has been
opposed by the claim that there are
stations within the required distance
even though they are not in the state.
and the fight has been a long one, with
a claim Of victory in sight.

tern after her child, and screaming
for help, but could not find her little
daughter. When young Nelson lunged
into the water he finally located the
little girl at the bottom of a ladder,
where the clothing had caught in such
a way as to hold her under the surface
Of the water. When rescued the little
girl was SO far gone that she was I'M
conscious, put physicians succeeded
in removing the water from her lungs,
and it is believed she will recover.

More Help for Farmers.

State college agronomiSts propose
to assist farmers in identifying weeds
that iajure field crops and in helping
them to get rid OF these pests. Farm
ers are encouraged to send weed sam
pies for examination. but they should
he properly packed and addressed.
Concerning this. Manlev Champlin, as.
sistant agrononist, says: Those Who
send in samples sometimes fail TO
pack and address them properly. They
either 90 astray or arrive in very
poor condition, sometimes so badll
crushed that they cannot be identl-
fed. Therefore care should be used
TO send III as complete a sample II
possible. Samples should bear the
owners name and address written or
printed plainly and should be plainly
addressed TO the Agronomy Depart.
ment. State College, Brookings. S. D.
The agronomy department of the State
college has for its main object the in
prorement of field crops. Recent X
periments show that the loss of soil
water by weeds is a greater factor in
reducing crops than the loss OF soil
water by evaporation. Besides this,
u field crops suffer loss from weeds
at every stage of life from seed bed
to market. To avoid. weeds, we must
know weeds. We must know which
are noXious and which are easily Grad
icated. If a new noXious weed appears
on one's farm, it should be destroyed
before it spreads"
