The work Of architects and build
ers on the western coast Of this coun-
try in establishing the bungalow type
of residence rs a distinct style of
architecture, is having its effect in the
general adoption Of this style, with
various notifications, in practically
every part of the country. 1t is a most
adaptable style; in fact, the applica-
ton of the style has been extended
over such a wide range of buildings
that the meaning Of the word, "bunga-

the meaning which has been given it
by adoption Of the word to designate
the style Of building found in its orig

cal in wording, the petition threatens
defeat for the executive, his party and

the apportionment of the draft In

Being that the volunteer military
system has been adopted in the United
States by our constitution, and has
been in use ever since, and the draft
system has been forced on us against
our will, and without a referendum OF
the people, W. say that drafting should
not be affected by volunteers and men
should be drafted all over the coun-
try according to actual population. Elk
emption should apply to individuals
only and not to whole counties
you being appointed to fix the
quota for the different counties OF the
state of South Dakota, We herewith
wish to state that we are not satisfied
with your action of e~xempting whole
counties and fixing triple quotas Tor
others. We brand your action as po-
litical, influenced by our daily news
papers of the ~capitalistic class, and
demand that you recall your quota
and fix them equal in all counties ac-
cording to the actual population.
I'VE Furthermore demand that you
call for a referendum of the people
on the draft law, that you stand
against the appropriation Of further
money raised by bonds, that you stand
for the war being paid as we go and
If the poor man cannot pay the wal
monger must and if they are out OF
funds we will quit.
I'VE absolutely demand that you
stand for reputation of all war debts
and there being no greater enemy to

ficers we demand that you restrict
their rights.

A pedagogue in the Mt. Vernon

time friends.
Mr.. Hill is an old-line Democrat
and, despite his rather advanced
years, was on hand in Columbus
Monday to witness the Inauguration
OF Governor James NJ. Cox and attend
the ceremonies incident thereto.
While in this section of the state,
he decided to pay visit to Mt. Yer
non and spent most pleasant day
here.
Over fifty years ago, Mr.. Hill was a
teacher in what was then the old high
school building and what is now the
Cenarl building. He visited the
school Tuesday and looked through it,,
noting the various changes it has un-
dergone since he dispensed learning
to the youth of the day.
Mr.. Hills helpmate was, curiously
enough, also teacher in the Mt.
Vernon schools at the time. She is
still alive and the couple enjoy a
rtpened existence in their Redwood
home.

Officials Claim
Mt. Gilead Men Blame Water Works
For Their Big Fire Loss; Ask
Reparation

That the officials of the Hydraulic
Press Mfg. Co. of Mt. Gilead, which
was destroyed by fire New-year's Day,
are keenly resentful over the lack of
adequate water pressure to fight the
fire, is indicated in a letter printed
in this weeks edition of the Mt. Gil
cad Register and signed by w. G.
Tucker, president of the company.
and F. B. McMillin, general manager
and secretary.
Stating that the plant has been
operated in Mt. Gilead under many
disadvantages, the letter contains the
following significant statement:
Had the eighty pounds pressure
provided for in the franchise CIV
en- the water works company by
the corporation of Mt. Gilead
been available, our loss could not
have exceeded $780, In short our
plant burned down for want of
fire protection in the same way
that it would have burned if
there had been no water works
company, or fire protection what
ever, in the village of Mt. Gilead.
The letter queries whether the
citizens of Mt. Gilead are willing to
indemnify the company for the loss
sustained as the result Of this negli-
gence and also asks what assurance
the concern would have as to future
fire protection. The letter is directed
to the Mt. Gilead chamber of com
