Sensing Margaret's confusion, with quick
responsiveness Norwood rose TO go. Flushed
and embarrassed, she followed him TO the
hall. As she came back into the room Ken
nedy was glaring out the window, his atti-
tude expressing his hostility. The ranking
jealousy that he had so long controlled now
blazed out

Margaret do you expect me TO be ro-
cuse; TO see no one?"

he would call her up that evening or at
the latest tomorrow morning. But this
feverish reinsurance did not lessen the poig-
nancy Of her wretchedness.
In the evening papers she read the an
nouncements Of Kennedy's nomination for
Congress Despite her lcaping pride. she
had dread premonition of this proving a
barrier between them. Would his fear Of
possible unpleasant publicity outweigh his
love for her?
That evening and the very next day
passed in feverish waiting for some mes

They were Just in time to see Kennedy,
apparently unconscious, being lifted into a

ordered the driver 70 follow the car ahead.

was hardly conscious that Norwood was

his recent clash with Kennedy forgotten in
the realization of his peril on and on
through the dimly lit streets, with reckless,
increasing speed From the side lights
they could see the driver lean out and
glance back, estimating his chance of elud'

Finally seeing that II was hopeless, with
a swift. dangerous turn he swirled a corner
and slowed down. Without waiting for the
car to stop, both men jumped out and
dashed up the dark side street Norwood
leaping out after them, called TO the driver
to follow.
Left alone, Margaret spranF from the taxi
and ran to the abandoned car ahead, which
she knew still held Kennedy. Was he i'm.
conscious? Was he seriously hurt? Her
| mind fiamed with gruesome possibilities.

night to the political meeting where he was
to speak.
1t was half past eight when she reached
the crowded auditorium. Slipping into a
rear seat. Margaret waited with painful
tensity Kennedy's appearance was greeted
with rousing cheers. Introduced by the
chairman, he spoke with simple telling
directness, holding his audience by his very
earnestness and not by any oratorical tricks.
During prolonged applause commotion
arose in the rear of the hall, Kisses and
catcalls; n deliberate effort to disconcert
the speaker by agitators Of the opposing
party a brick crashed through the window
and the place was in an uproar.
Suddenly through a rift i'm the crowd
Margaret saw Kennedy in the grasp Of four
rufiians. Knowing of the recent attempt
on his life, she was paralyzed with terror.
Then with leaping relief, she found Nor

IL his freedom that he wanted?
The gray mstlness or dawn was paling

library and climbed YEARLY up to her room
To Margaret every ring Of the telephone
and door bell always brought the thrilled
hope that it might be Kennedy. But the
next afternoon when she went to the door,
her eagerness ebbed to disappointment as
Norwood confronted her.

Of the new story, but she had not expected

radical corrections, when again the bell

This time she knew 1t was Kennedy.

a chill fear Of a possible scene, she turned
to the door.
The next moment, Kennedy with a
proprietary air, strobe into the room. His
start at seeing Norwood was hardly per.

curt and frgld.

PHILIP BOYS ENLIST

Lieut.. Guy Barnes and Private
Carl Walker, of Company A,
accompanied by Postmaster
James Holm of Pierre we're in
our city last Sunday in effort to
secure recruits for the National
Guards. During the afternoon
and evening they addressed the
crowd of people at the Gem
Theatre following the presenta-
tion of the Birth of A Nation,
and were successful in securing
the signatures of four young
men to application blanks for
enlistment. The four Philip boys
who offered their services to
Uncle Sam, were, Roland and
Russell Phillips, Leon Mueller
and Fred Vollvrecht.
The following morning Lieut..
Barnes received word that his
company was recruited to full
strength and that no other
volunteers would be accepted, or
several other applications would
have been made. The gentle
men went from here to Kadoka
on Monday where a meeting was
held as it had been arranged for
before hand, although no enlist
ments could be accepted. They
returned to this place in the
evening and returned to Pierre.
They cannot be sure when
they will be called out but, now
that the company has its full
strength, Mr.. Barnes is of the
opinion that it will be about the
18th of this month.

THREE YEARS Of High
PRICES FOR LIVE STOCK

RAISE more live stock; there
will be high prices for at least
three years to come; this is an
emergency message to farmers
and stock growers from G.
Howard Dawson, president of the
International Live Stock Expos
ton and chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National
Agricultural Society.
Says Mr.. Dawson: "In my
judgment there will be a scarcity
of nearly all kind of live stock
for some time to come and farm
ers and stockmen should make
their plans accordingly. This
means that there should be no
selling of young animals or
female breeding stock merely be-
cause current prices for hogs,
cattle, sheep and other live stock
will rule for at leas1 three or
years to come.
There is no doubling this in
view of the knowledge that
Europe has lost over so per cent
of its live stock-that the whole
world in fact is suffering from a
serious shortage in all kinds of
food animals.
There is so much concern
over possible wheat or potato
shortage that the public is forget
ting the meat situation. AS a
matter of fact, if every effort
were made to increase the
country's supply of cattle, it
would be at least three years be-
fore solid results would be
apparent. As regards sheep, it
would require at least two years
to make any considerable in
crease in numbers, even though
every eve were held back. for
breeding purposes.
THE best possible program for
the farmer from the standpoint
of either patriotism or profit is
to raise more live stock and to
work on a three or four year
program, at least"
The pioneer. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1917-05-10

prices of farm products will be
very high next fall and winter,
should be sufficient inducement
to increase the grain yield in
our own state by hundreds of
thousands of bushels. 1t can be
done. This is not to intimate
that poor farming has been the
rule in South Dakota. However,
in common with most COM
paratively newly settled states
where land to farm is plentiful
in many localities, there have
been loose methods on the part
of enough farmers to make an
improvement desirable and
especially in year like this
when a serious food shortage
threatens. ns.-White Lake STANDARD.
Rev. Geo. W. Hawley, newly
appointed Sabbath School Mis-
sionary for the Presbytery of
Black Hills, came out from Rapid
City the week preceding April
10Th to visit the neighbors in the
Ashcreek country which also he
did so successfully that on Sun
day the 29th a goodly company
gathered at the Ashcreek post
office for a religious service and
the organization of a Sabbath
School. To assure the success
of the school Mrs. Clarence
Keyser was elected superintend-
ent with Mrs. Benson as her
assistant and Miss Hazel McDon-
aid secretary of the school.
There will be meetings of the
school each Sabbath for the
summer and it is hoped that with
a visit from a minister as
frequently as such help may be
secured and occasional visits
from Rev. Hawley, whose kindly
interest and service won the
hearts of all, this school may be-
come the center of the religious
life of the Ashcreek community.

BLACKLEG GERMS
LIVE IN the SOIL
BY DR.. C. c. LIPP, veterinarian
SOUTH DAKOTA STATE C0LLEGE.

Blackleg is a specific germ
disease affecting cattle from six
months to two and one-half years
of age. The germs causing black
leg live in the surface soil of
certain pastures. Weather con-
ditions and sunlight seem to have
little destructive effect on them.
Once a pasture becomes infected
with blackleg germs it usually re-
mains so for period of years be-
cause the destruction of the
germs in the soil is impossible.
The germs of blackleg enter
the animal body thru small
wounds or scratches, usually so
insignificant that they cannot be
found when a blackleg carcass is
examined. The old theories and
superstitions concerning the true
cause of blackleg have proven
false long ago, and today there
remains no question concerning
the true cause of the disease or
the method by which it gains
entrance to ihe animal body.
On account of the impossibility
of destroying blackleg germs in
infected fields and pastures, a
method of vaccination has been
devised for the protection of ex-
posed cattle.
There are still a few cattle own
ers who believe in other prevent
ives than the vaccine, but
fortunately their number is be-
coming smaller every day. Black
leg vaccine properly used is a
safe and satisfactory preventative
But in order that there may be
no loss from this disease, it is inn
perative that the vaccine be used
before the first animal dies from
blackleg.
Several counties in South Da-
kota are planning on blackleg
week in May. During this week
every effort will be made to have
all cattle vaccinated. 1t is plan
ned to use the free government
vaccine, and the cost will be quite
insignificant. Why not plan for
a blackleg day in every commun-
ity where this disease prevails?
