Based on one contingency It was the
view of the state department today
that Moscow will be made the per-

the war vigorously and eliminate all
talk of a separate peace. That the
peace propaganda will be given Its
death blow Is not the belief here.

DEATH OF DIR. VIM. NOLAN

Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Kelly re-
ceived word of the death at
Yankton on Tuesday October 9th,
of their son in law, DR.. VIM. j.
Nolan, who is well known to
many in Philip, having visited
here on a number of occasions.
Mrs. Kelly left Immediately on
receipt of the news to attend
the funeral, returning home
Tuesday morning. She was ac-
companied on her return by
her daughter, Mrs. Nolan.
DR.. Nolan has been a suffer-
er for years past and while his
death was anticipated, it came
as no less of a shock to his
l elatives. 5To all Of them the
sympathy of this community
goes out.
Following is an obituary of
the deceased, clipped from
Yankton paper, also the news
item covering the last sad rites,
taken also from that paper:
DR.. William John Nolan died at
the home of his father, Mr.. John
Nolan, north Douglas, at 1O:45
last night, after an illness ex-
tending over three years. The
deceased, who would have been
thirty years of age October 30th
next, was born at Lennox, Ia.,
and when six years of age came
to this county, with his parents,
to reside. Most Of his life has
been spent here, and in the COM
munity he enjoyed the friend
ship of many who had practical
ly known him all his life. He
was highly regarded and there
will be general regret expressed
at the early termination of a.
useful and promising career.
Deciding to take ND dentistry
as a profession Mr.. Nolan went
to Omaha, where he attended
school and graduated in his pro-
fession after three years study.
He established himself in practic-
ing at Shadron. Nebr. and seven
years ago. on Oct. 5th, was mar
ried to Miss May Kelly, identi-
fled with this city for number
Of years. I'll health developing,
DR.. Nolan removed to Denver,
Colo. and later he returned to
Nebraska, settling at Kimball,
where he practiced his profess
ion until the past year,when i'll
health compelled him to relin-
quish work and he came here to
reside. The immediate relatives
are the young wife, called upon
to bear a heavy loss, father, Mr..
John Nolan; a brother Charles,
j Huron expected today, and
a sister Mrs. Alphonso Smith,
Of Yankton, R No. 2. now in
this city. The deep sympathy of
many friends will go out to Mrs.
Nolan and the other relatives
named, in their hour of afflic-
tion. The arrangements, for the
funeral will not be made until
word can be obtained from the
Rev. Lawrence Link, who was
called south Sunday on busi-
ness, and is believed to be in
Kansas City.
The funeral Of the late DR..
VIM. J. Nolan took place at
1890 this morning, from Sacred
Heart church, the Rev. Lawrence
Link officiating. The service was
very largely attended by SYM
pathizing friends, and members
Of the Knights Of Columbus, to
which order the deceased be-
longed, attended the service,
which was Requiem High Mass

bearers were R. E. Walpole,

LIBERTY BOND CAM
PAIeN IS on
BIG DRIVE THIS WEEK MOST Sue
CESSFUL-ENLIST SOME OF
YOUR DOLLARS IN FIGHT

Good old Haakon county went
lover the top Tuesday and
Wednesday in the Liberty Bond
drive. Asked to take at least
$685. 900 in the Second Liberty
bonds, the people of the county
responded by taking the mini
mum practically in the first day
Of the campaign and is still 60
ing, with the certainty that be-
fore the close of the sale of
these bonds on Saturday evening
of next week the county will
have subscribed nearly double
her apportionment.Let make it
that-it can easily be done.
The people of Midland got
busy Tuesday, wishing to go a
long with Philip right from the
''irst and the solicitors late in
the afternoon phoned the list
Of subscribers to local headquar-
ers. During the fore part of the
evening solicitors were busy
here and secured several thous-.
and dollars in subscriptions.
But the free show and bond
meeting at the Gem theatre in
the evening was the climax. Fea-
lures that couldn't have been bet.
ter for the occasion if they had
been made to order were secur-
ed by Manager Brown and a.
committee Of local business men.
After the audience had been
thrilled by the three-reel fea-
ture, "The Star Spangled Ban
ner,' and laughed them selves
sick at Max Linder in the film
story of his trip from Paris to
America, Chairman R. A. Biel-
ski called upon John Sutherland
of Pierre, and Attorneys Alvin.
Waggoner and 0. X. Whitney,
Of this city, who responded with
short talks on the bond ISSUE.
Mr.. Bielski explained the bond
movement and then called for
subscriptions and the way in
which the responses came were
a true index to the patriotism
of the people in attendance. With
the subscriptions secured dur
ing the afternoon, the close Of
The meeting showed total that
came within $4,000 of the mini
mum.
Now it's up to the folks who
didn't find it possible to attend
the meeting or get in touch
with the solicitors to put the
totals where they belong. Haa-
kon county has barely been Ser
atched on this proposition. Don't
leave it up to your neighbor and
find fault with him if he hasn't
taken all the bonds you think he
can afford. Get in with Uncle
Sam on this deal yourself. Get
that satisfaction which you a
lone can enjoy by knowing that
some of your dollars are helping
to put Reprobate Bill and his
gang of world murderers where
they belong. Put some Of your
own money back of the dear
boys now in the training camps
preparing for the trenches of
France. Enlist $50 or 800 or any
other amount you think you can
spare under the flags of the
allies. Any bank in the county
will take your subscription.
What a record to ring down
through the agestthere was
Liberty Bond in every Ameri-
can home.

The Chickens Way.

Once there was a little boy who
thought he would like to keep chick
ems.
Don't you know keeping-ch chickens
is a lot of work?" asked his mother
when he told her about it.
"Oh, 1 don't mind work" he boast
ed. '.All the other boys are, keeping
chickens and l want some of my own.
"All right" answered his mother,
you may have them, but you must
keep care of them yourSelf-feed
them and keep their house in order"
The little boy agreed that he would,
so the chickens were bought and a
house was fixed for them out in the
back yard.
Now. at first it was lot of fun to
tidy up the chicken house. sprinkle
fresh gravel on the floor and watch
the chickens scramble after grain.
But after a while it got to be an
awful bore; those chickens were al
ways hungry and always thirsty and
always untidy and the little boy got
so tired of his work.
He thought carefully while. then
he said, Il know what I'll do. I'll
pretend 1 haven't any chickens and
see what happens then"
He thought that was very bright
idea So the next morning when he
got up he carefully pretended he had
no chickens and he went off to school
without giving them water or food
or even a look.
Did the chickens like that very
well?
Dear me. Would you like it ii
somebody pretended you didn't want
anything to eat or drink? 1 guess not
They waited patiently a while long
er, but still no breakfast appeared.
I'm tired of waiting here SO long
for a breakfast that never comes,
and one chicken GROSSLY.
$50 am L. said another Lets see
if we can't get out and find some food
ourselves. The sun is shining and
don't believe it's very cold"
They looked carefully all around
their house and finally found a place
where the boards didn't quite touch
the ground.
Let's all get busy and dig right
here" said one.
All right" they all peeped, an6
went to work.
And how the dirt did fly.

The citrus industry in California
has virtually been organized upon a
manufacturing basis. For advertising
in newspapers and other periodicals
each box of oranges is assessed "A
cents and every box of lemons 4 cents.
Last year this netted a fund of nearly
half a million dollars for publicity
work. The growers look to advertis-
ing TO increase the consumption of
oranges ana lemons and thereby make
room for the rapidly increasing crops.
During the ten years in which adver-
Using has been done, the consumption
of citrus fruits has increased so per
cent. or four Zines as rapidly as popu-
lation.

Mesa Verde.
BY NIKSAH

Mesa Verde.
Mesa Verde in Colorado has been
put under the protection of the fed
eral government to prevent irreverent
Americans from chopping historic
rafters for firewood and trampling
down the ruined dwellings of a van
ished people in search of pottery that
is whole enough to sell. Mesa Verde
has been called the most interesting
spot historically in North America.
1t is the sole remaining trace of a race
that once lived in the southwest and
dominated it in days before the In
dams came.
The Mesa Verde, or Green Mesa,
towers up 1000 feet out of a plain
that is 5000 feet above the sea. In
the dry, clear mountain air it is Wis
ible for miles around From it's sum-
init, noble view of a tumbled noun
tain world is visible. To the south
ward you can look out of Colorado
into New Mexico, and on days that
are clearer than the ordinary, you can
see the ghost of a ship in full sail
speeding oyer the desert. That is the
widely known Shiprock, a curious
butte carved by windblown sand into
the model of a towering ship. an an
cient landmark for Indians and
plainsmen-
The ruins at Mesa Verde show that
the lost race was one of considerable
culture. They understood agricul-
ture: they wove cloth; they made a
pottery that has resisted the slow CEN
turtles: they had a rude art of their
own. Who they were and what they
were are still problems to vex the an
tiquarian. Indians of a sort most
probably, but Indians of a different
sort from those who came later and
held the country till the white men
took it over. And whether the later
Indians conquered the earlier, or
whether they filled a land that the
decadence of a greater race left empty
are other questions yet unsolved. The
people of Mesa Verde have left US
their temples. their houses. their
broken pots. hut OF their history, their
hopes and their aims no trace

There is pending in the conference
committee of the two houses of con-
gress dealing with the revenue bill a
proposal to levy a tax of four per cent
on incomes in excess of $4,000, accru-
ing TO married men. 1t probably will
be apparent to all fair minded persons
that there should be a distinction be-
tween incomes derived from payment
for labor or services performed and
those derived from investments. 1t
does not seem fair that a man having
a family and earning S2,50O a year
should pay in taxes $40 of the amount,
while a man receiving 81, 500 year
in returns on investments should pay
no more Prices of everything that
enters into the daily living are such
that family of four or five persons
can i'll afford to pay so heavy tax in
addition to various other forms of
taxes. If the government must have
the money it might well add a little
more to the excess profits tax or to the
tax on incomes arising from invest
meuts.

There is sugar company in Colo
RADIO known as the Great Western that
early this month declared a special
dividend of 10 per cent on it's common
stock. That was the third special
dividend declared this year. in addi-
ton to regular quarterly dividends of
a per cent. The holders of the-com-
mon stock of the Great Western
Sugar company thus far this year have
received 80 per cent on the par value
of their stoc's, and there is probability
they will receive another 10 per cent
extra dividend before the end of the
year Appro- imateIy SO per cent this

War losses in Europe have stripped
the nations of autos, typewriters, agri-

There will be an immense demand

Peace will not bring to Europe

have incurred in war preparation and

We have made enormous profits
from our foreign trade. The losses of
Europe have not sensibly affected us,
and New York has taken the place of
London as the center of the exchanges

foothold in foreign markets that we
shall retain, and our shipbuilding. now
rapidly proceeding, will restore us to
our position as next to the first if not
the very first maritime power in the
