weekly REVIEW OF The LEGISLATORS WORK

Pierre. S. d., Jan. Ii, 1917.
Sisseton Standards:
The first resolution for consti-
tutional amendment for this session
was offered by Hall of Lyman,
who wants the constitution amend
ed to exempt from taxation farm
improvements not to exceed three
thousand dollars upon any one
farm. This he regards as one OF
the necessities TOWARD practical
carrying out of his rural credits
plan through state land bank.
But there will be several others,
the resolution to again submit
equal suffrage goes in this week;
and the resolution for classitica-
tion OF property for taxation pur-
poses, will be again presented.
The Richards primary promises
to come back as an issue as Rich
ards is again circulating petitions
to initiate his law to be voted up
OH at the next general election.
Among the senators on the floor
Mclean of Day is always ready to
take his part Ill any debate which
comes up, and Amsden of Grant is
the one senator member al Jays
ready to push free text book legis-
lation OF which he isa strong advo-
cate. Marvlck OF Roberts is one
OF the veterans of tht senate, and
his service gives him precedence in
committee selections, and he is
one OF the Strong men of that
branch OF the legislature.
Senators Mclean, Marvick and
Anlsden all got into the taugle on
the floor of the senate this after
noon over the Gunderson motion
to refer portions of the governors
message to committees, Marvick
backing the motion, with Mclean
rather opposed, and Ansden in
favor ii not taken too seriously,
but handled as i'm past, referred and
forgotten.
The two houses voted the first
recess for the date from January IL
to january %, noon each day.

and of course suspicion naturally
pointed to the accused. Monday
morning Kegley went before the
judge and plead guilty of killing
the one but denied all knowledge
of the others. He was given a
term OF Is months as a reminder
of the error of his wavs. He at
once asked for parole, and after
investigation it was decided that
the sentence should, at least for a
time, remain as it was. Kegley is

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES -seIIoO) - tS 'ldeS 'IONvad NJ pondence of the Associated Press.) Night, as we'll as day, is full of work and hustle at an army aero dome. Night flights are not ire quent, but the night is the time when the mechanics are busiest, putting everything right for .whatev- CT tomorrow may bring forth. Long after the sun has sunk be- heath the tops of the hangars and the trees have changed from green to black, the hard-worked airplane drift homeward, crossing the even ing sky like black specks on a purple cloth and landing with a deep droning on the clipped grass, lame and weary from long after noon's work over the lines.
 The days work is finished; re- ports are handed in, and the pilots saunter down to their mess-tents among the trees. The mechanics appear, wheel the machines into the respective hangars, and the night s work is begun.
 It is seventeen miles to the she'll holes of No-Man's Land, and all the horrors of war. The long white road, thick with the dust of trans port, is silent. The flat aerOdome is in darkness but the hangars, looming black against the evening sky, are bright within. There is much to be done. Mazes of wires must be overhauled; many must be replaced or tautened The enemy anti-aircraft artillery has been ac- tive and some of the planes bear
 witness of it's work. The canvas
 wings of one machine are riddled and need long and patient atten- l tiOn before it will be fit for service again. On another. the flying struts must be renewed. On another, the
 wings are out of shape, the result of straining maneuvers in aero I batic. fighting

They settle down to it as a matter of routine Every time, machine comes back from the lines it has to be overhauled, New gadgets, must be fitted the engine repaired and cleaned Air planes are after all very delicate pieces of mechanism and need con- tinual attention. Without it they are useless, even dangerous. The accu- racy of hundreds of measurements, the trustworthiness of hundreds of parts, are essential to good flying and reliability, and just as much dapends on these factors as on the skill of the pilot.
 The airplane mechanic doesn't share the dangers of the field or the hardships of the infantrymen Tor artillerymen, but he has endless work. and very heavy responsi- bility, When there .is heavy air fighting he must frequently work all day and all night, and woe betide the pilot if he should skimp any of his work Upon his shoulders rests the strength of the squadron and | its efficiency

With the CURLY -tailed dog behind.
Dot WAS a girl, and so, i'm case

But the wind came by with dread

And the beautiful bow went out.
When we turned to look around
The great black dark had come.
