Kadoka Boys Go
To Join Troops

N'dbdi AlS III ANoEOllo$ w tiiS
call to join their companies the
Kadoka volunteer soldier boys
bid goodbye to their relatives and
friends here, and left for the
home stations of their respective
military organizations.
Every honor and tribute that it
was possible for our people to
give was accorded the boys in
their leaving and nothing was
left undone to show to the BOYS
the appreciation of the entire
community of the fact that they
had offered their services to the
government and were willing to
face the untold and unknown
hardships and dangers of modern
warfare to fight for the flag that
we all revere and love.
During the forenoon the Kado-
ka Band gave a concert on the
streets, playing patriotic airs, and
just before train time the band
formed to march to the depot,
immediately following them were
the soldier boys that were to
leave on the train, and then came
the citizens of the town and sur,
rounding Community-ne nearly ev-
eryone of this community being
present.
Arriving at the depot the fare
wells to the boys were said and
entire crowd, with tear dimmed
eyes, gave cheer after cheer for
Kadoka's soldier boys. The part
ing scenes at the depot were
touching as the boys said fare
well to their parents and loved
ones. and though the parting was
difficult and pulled hard at the
heart strin9Sof those who were
giving their all to the service of
their country, yet a feeling of
pride could not help but be mani
tested that their boys" had vol
unfairly answered the call.
The Press is proud of these
boys and we know that no mat
ter to what duties they are called
they will not be backward, but
will be found at all times doing
their duty and will give a good
account of themselves, and upon
their return home they viii be
met by happy hearts and joyous
greetings. God Bless Kadoka's
Soldier B)yS.'

The annual report Of Greene coun-
ty, Wisconsin, has just been issued
and their dairy products make coal,
zinc and oil figures look small. The
Green county dairy products last year
werevalued at $64, 100000. This coun-
ty is rough and rocky, and cannot
Of the counties in southeastern Kan
sas. Here are the Green county
produce as much dairy feed as many
dairy figures, read them over care
fully and think much over them.
Green county is "a miles square; there
are 10000 cows in the county; there
are 900 silos in the county; and no
tice, there are ITO condenseries,
cheese factories and creameries in
this one county. Last year the cows
of Green county produced over 200,-
100000 pounds of milk and the value
Of the dairy output Of this county for
one year was $64,000,000.
Green county made this great pro-
duction from an everage Of twenty
cows to 100 acres, and everyone
knows that the average 100 acres in
southeastern Kansas will produce
food for over thirty cows. Any Of
the counties in southeastern Kansas
can easily produce as much milk as
Green county, Wisconsin. This is the
possibility of dairy development in
this section.
There is another important point in
considering the dairy development in
Green county. The average increase
in land values in Green county, taken
from the assessors figures has been
$40 a year for ten years, or $44 in
this length Of time. There are S,0OO,-
900 acres of land in the nine counties
of southeastern Kansas. Had the
land in these counties advanced as it
has in this one Wisconsin county, the
increase in the value of the land in
this section during the last ten years
would be $142,OOO,OOO.-Ex.

SUPREME COURT OF
 ALABAMA UPHOLDS FRANCHISE TAX

Montgomery, December 20.-(Special.1 Constitutionality of section 16 of the reve-H nue act of 1915, which leyies a franchise tax of 40 cents per 5000 on the total paid in capital of all domestic corporations and 40 cents per $1000 on the capital of all foreign corporations actually em- ployed in operations in Alabama, was up- held by the supreme court Thursday in the case of the Louisville and Nashville railroad vs. the state, appealed from the Montgomery circuit court.
 The railroad attacked the section on the contention that the basis of taxation was not equitable, but the lower court found in favor of She state. The su- preme court in a long opinion by Chief Justice Anderson held that the section did not violate any provisions of the state constitution. Justice Sayre dis- scented from the majority opinion
 In another case of great importance the supreme court held that any person who has wor a civil suit which has been entered 5ainst him by another per- son may bring suit for damages for ma licicus prosecution as if the former pro- ceedings had been criminal.

WASHINGTON HAS NEWS

Washington, December 2o.-What pur- ports to be an outline of the Kaiser's much advertised Christmas peace terms" has reached here through the same neutral diplomatic channels which earlier in the week received informa tion to support intimations from abroad that new peace offer was coming out of discord. In the main, the terms as described follow the lines of those said to have been written by Foreign Minis ter Von Kuehlmann last summer. At that time they were denounced as hay ing been written purely for political purposes.
 The so-called terms, which must be appraised only at their face value, ara said to include the following:
 To leave the disposition of Alsace- Lorraine to pIebiscite of inhabitants.
 England to pay Germany for her lost African colonies and the money tS be used for the rehabilitation of Belgium, Seryia, Rumania and north arn France.

The board of managers of the Mercy Home has issued the following Christ mas appeal to the people of Birming- ham:
 At almost the close of the 2Sth year of it's existence, the board of managers of the Mercy Home makes the annual Christmas appeal for ald i'll caring for the many children now in the home.
 There is gratitude for the aid of the past; for, while the city has contributed nothing since August. 1915, and early last spring the county appropriation of S3G00 a year was suddenly cut off, then it was that the generous friends for many years were appealed to, and, as always, the help came.
 The Thanksgiving offering this year will probably pay the outstanding bills to date. leaving the home to face year of greater opportunity, with a houseful of children and numerous requests for admission on file; with practically an empty treasury.
 With much of the coal to be bought; constant repairs to be made, and the increased cost of food, a budget of S1oG00 is hardly adequate for necessary needs.
 Many calls have been made upon this community recently for money, all of
