ENTENTE BLOCKADE
 OF GREECE LIFTED

London, March 20-The ministers to Greece of the entente nations have again taken up their residence in Athens, Reuters correspondent there reports. The discharge of a cargo of wheat destined for Piraeus begins to- day.
 The admission of wheat to Greece indicates the lifting of the blockade which has been in effect for several weeks. The Greek government has made repeated representations that widespread suffering was being caused by the shutting off of food supplies, to which the entente responded that the blockade would be lifted when Greece had complied fully with it's demands. The most important of these demands were the transfer of the army to lower Greece and the dis banding of tho reservists, for the pur- pose of removing the possibility of an attack by Greek troops on the rear of the allied forces in Macedonia.

AN UNBEL1EvER CONVINCED.
State Fire Marshall Gave Demon
stration Causes For Fire.

Parker Press: The State Fire Mar
shall, cooperating with Relief Hose
Company Nc. 1, gave a demonstra-
tion in the city auditorium Saturday
night which was at once so inter-
esting as to hold the fixed attention
of the audience, and SO instructive
as to give each individual some
thing serious to think about. n re-
gard to his or her personal respon
|sibility for fires. The demonstration
was made vivid through the use of
motion pictures of some of the great
fires and their causes. can Unbeliever
Convinced" was story of a wealthy
tenement house owner, who, upon
being told by the authorities to
properly equip his tenement houses
with fire escapes, ordered the officials
out of the way, with the assertion
that he knew how to handle his own
affairs. The following day, his
daughter a social service worker,
visited the poor in one of these same
tenement houses, and while she was
there, the building caught fire from
the stub of cigarette which one Of
the boys had been smoking, con-
trary to regulations, and the
daughter perished with scores of
others who jammed the Railways
because there were no fire escapes.
This and the other pictures were
taken from real life, and there are
on record many such instances. and
the lesson was most forceful one.
The fire marshal stated that in
his Investigations in South Dakota
he had discovered that more fires
were caused from greasy rags and
oiled mops than from any other one
thing. This demonstratin was given
in line with the fire-prevention
activities which are part of the
work of the state and local depart
ments. This picture will be shown
at the Morris Grand next Tuesday
evening, November 18th.

Joseph Willet, Burlington Conductor
Has Travelled That Far

How would you like to travel A.
100000 miles in the United States
and try all the time to make other
travellers see what is along the way?
Joseph Willet, who passes through
Chicago every ten days, probably
holds the travel record. He crosses
the continent from Boston to San
Francisco. Los Angeles and back
every three weeks. On his latest
trip through this city few days
ago Mr.. Willet completed his Booth

Mr.. Willet is tourist conductor
in the employ of the Burlington
railroad. He estimates he has trav-
eled q distance equal to 1000 times
around the world, or he feels as
young and spry as he did at 35, al
though he is close to twice that age.
He says that he would rather ride a

than five il, an automobile.

GOES OVER MARK IN TAKING
LIBERTY BONDS
TOTAL AMOUNT SloI,S5O
LAST FEW DAYS WERE BUSY
ONES FOR BANKERS WHEN
APPLICATIONS CAME IN

Fall River county is one hundred
per cent patriotic when it comes to
doing her share in the second Liber-
ty Loan and some thing over $1O1,-
$4,000 was reported as the amount
subscribed at the time of Closing
Saturday night
Following the meeting here last
Wednesday called by Mayor Hargens
everyone seemed to get busy with
the result that Hot Springs alone
subscribed over $61,000 of the entire
quota of ,$100,O00.00. Committees
in every ward secured good subscrip-
tions but the Battle Mountain SAM
tarium and the State Home both did
exceptionally fine. The old boys at
both places not alone gave their
share but many would now be in the
army if the age limit did not pre-
vent them. Uncle Sam is their big
brother all the time. About $4,000
was raised at the State Home and
$4,000 at the Sanitarium.
The towns in the county subscrib-
ed as follows: Hot Springs, $61,050;
Edgemont, $28,3OO; Ardmore. $5.-
500; and Oelrichs, $1,000. These
figures are not official however anG
may vary a few dollars one way OF
the other.
| Hot Springs and the county are
| to be congratulated on their noble
effort in subscribing their full quot;
of Liberty Bonds.

endorsed several of
the amendments, especially those re-
lating to state hail insurance, and
of property for the pur-
pose of taxation. Two years ago the
latter amendment was defeated by
the opposition of banks and farmers,
and now it is endorsed by both, and
shows an indication of boosting a
part of the taxing policy of the
state.
There is more or less discussion in
regard to a special session of the
legislature this winter Possibly
there may be need for such action.
but that need will likely have to be
made apparent before such a move
is seriously contemplated. If the
need shows up, very likely there will
be a call for the latter part of the
winter. and if no condition arises
which makes session imparitive,
there is not likely to be a special
session, but under existing condi-
tions in the country, no one can say
what need may arise at any time.

HOLDING SEED WHEAT
Good Seed Wheat Should Be Held
Until Next Spring

In every community where sprinS
wheat was grown this year there are
farmers who are willing to hold seed
for sowing next spring, but they do
not feel that they should hold the
wheat through the winter and sci
it next spring for seed at the suv-
ernment tixed price. 1t is not nee
tssary that they do so. 1t would
not be fair IT, expect it.
An farmer who has good wheat
and Cd" hold it for seed until next
spring is urged to do so. While a
him liz Will be allowed to sell on the
sane basis as the seed dealer, namely
at profit of not to exceed Is %, or
from twenty-five to thirty cents a
busi,el. There is no chance of get
ting speculative profits but the pay
will be rcnumerative.
1t Is desirable that farmers do this
in many communities where there
are not proper storage facilities to
l.cep wheat separate in elevators and
seed houses. Much can be done by
.arners to preserve the purity OF
seer q GOO quality py keeping it in
their own bins until seeding time
The Varieties preferred are Mar

SCHOOL NOTES.
News Notes of the Week From Our
CITY Schools.

City Schools.
The report for the second month
of school shows an increase in at
tendance in all departments. The
enrolment in the high school is now
the largest in the history of the
school. There were 173 pupils in
the grades who were entitled to a
quarter holiday by being neither
tardy nor absent during the month.
The fifth grade. taught by Miss Dud-
LEY holds the honor roll for the
month. There were none tardy and
but one absent during the month.
The athletic association purchased
"a Liberty Bond last week. This
would indicate that the association
is not organized for the purpose OF
developing select few physically
but the organization is an important
factor in the organization of the
school in more ways than one and Its
members are the better able to rem
der service to the country as we'll as
the school and community.
The High school received valu'
able addition to the Physical Labor
atory equipment this week through
the generosity of DR.. McRoberts
who presented the school with al
Electric Static machine. The gif
is a valuable one to the school ant
is another expression OF the Doctor

POLITICS TOBO0D IN S. D.
Nobody But Candidates and "Non.
Partisans" Interested.

Pierre, Nov. 2nd.-For once, prob
ably the first time since statehood,
the people of South Dakota are not
allowing themselves to be "het up"
by politics. 1t is only six months
until the next primaries come along,
and the only ones who are showing
any activity, or desire to even dis
cuss politics are those who would
fill official positions. One can ride
all day in the smoking car of a
train crossing the state from one end
to the other, and not hear politics
mentioned by any of the shifting
travel on these cars unless he started
the conversation himself, and even
then it does not go far. People
have something else to think of and
the talk is high cost of living, possi-
BILE war movements, shortage of help
to gather corn, and high price for
husking asked by those who can be
secured. But politics are not brought
into the general discussion. The
only place you get any slant at the
situation is in the different cities of
the state, where there are those who
thrive by political affairs. and who
are willing to talk each being certain
of state of facts which fit his in
dividual view point, and which don't
track at any point in the road, ex-
cept in wondering just what the
"non-partisan" is going to do. OF
rather what they will be able to dc
in the coming campaign. All the
speculation is based on that surmise
But one thing is certain, regard
less of what that organization car
accomplish, that is that the differ
ent farmer organizations over the
state are going to take hand wher
it comes to the real campaign. The
farmers union, the equality league
and the grain association are al
getting ready to have something tt
say in the matter. Issues ar:
going to loom bigger than candl
dates in the coming campaign. Tht

AUTHOR OF ADAMs0N LAW SAYS
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP FARCE
WAR CRISIS HANDLtDFINE
TRANSPORTATION OF SOLDIERS
AND SUPPLIES SHOWS ROADS
HAVE MET ALL DEMANDS

What do we want of government
ownership of railroads when we
have something far better in this
country right now?"
The question was put by William
Z. Adamson, famous as the author
of the Adamson Law, which averted
nationwide railroad strike in 1916
at the Brown Palace Hotel recently.
The Georgia congressman, who has
been chairman of the House COM
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce for the past seven years,
stopped in Denver for two days en-
route to San Francisco on congress
slonal business.
Government ownership of rail-
ways is not only a fallacy, but is en-
tirely without excuse for having a
champion in the United States at
this time, the congressman says. He
has been on the Commerce Commit =
tee of the national house for nearly
1, quarter OF a century and considers
himself fairly We'll posted on rail-
leading in this country and the re-
larions OF the railways to the gov
eminent.
When we faced this war there
was at once talk of the government
taking over the railroads." said Mr.
Adamson. 81 thought the govern.
lGent was too busy preparing for tn-
greatest war this world ever dream
ed OF to stop to wrestle with the
Lerculean task of taking over the
most enormous and complicated net
work OF railroads on any continent
on the globe. And, besides, it wound
have cost billions of dollars. We
nave no right to take over anyone's
property without paying the owners
This government knows nothing OF
operating railroads, SO l suggested
-llial we make the President OF the
United States the traffic agent of al
the railroads in this country, anc
the President agreed with nle.
'"Then we passed a clause in tn.
war bill which provided for prefer
entail shipments-that is, govern
ment business was to move first.
1.-The result was that millions O.
tons of equipment. hundreds o
thousands of soldiers and all sort
OF supplies have moved on schedule
time during the last seven month";
and without a hitch. No countr.
even where they have government
owned railroads, ever duplicated trf
feat. England had an enormou
task to move men and munitions, bu
we saw not the slightest delay o
confusion. We told the railroad
wnal 10 do and they co-operated, no
only with splendid spirit but wit
an efficiency that demands the ad
miraton of the world. The govern
ment got just what it wanted an

work has been railroading-wer
