NOTICE

On and after January list,
1918, the price Of the Register
will be $500, strictly in advance.
The continued high cost Of
everything that enters into
newspaper production makes II
imperative. Publishers in South
Dakota and throughout the ma
ton have come to realize that,
at present prices, even the
smaller papers cannot meet
their costs on $3.50 to say moth
ing Of profit. The Register Is
running more columns Of read
ing matter than any weekly in
the State for $3.50 but we are
going to give everybody an OPP
portunity to take advantage Of
the present price until January
list. W. feel that the large and
growing list Of Register sub
scribers are entitled to due and
timely notice of our action in
this respect so that II they care
to renew at the old price they
can do SO.

Joint Delivery Lowers Prices.

Cooperative delivery systems for
merchants in South Dakota cities
would not only cut the cost Of living
for the consumer, but would release
men for other service as well as actu-
ally save gasoline and horsepower.
This is the belief of Dean Frank T.
Stockton, head of the economic de-
partment of the University of South
Dakota. who recently said: An in
vestigation of carriage costs in the city
OF Washington covering 12S establish
ments which maintain delivery sys-
TENS showed the average cost of de
livery for 80 concerns handling gro
ceries and meats was A per cent OF
the gross sales. AS the size of the
business decreased, the cost of deliv-
cry in proportion to gross sales mount.
ed as high as SO per cent for one OF
the stores. The delivery costs for 10
bakeries averaged 1913 per cent with
a maximum cost OF 26.1 per cent. Four
dealers in dairy products delivered at
an average cost OF 12.1 per cent Of
their gross sales.

Urges Selection of Seed Corn.

Farmers who have on hand shocked
fodder corn should husk is carefully
sort II and IL possible store the best
OF II SO that it will not be subjected
to hard freezing for some time, urges
w. S. Hill. Of Mitchell, who Is presi-
dent OF the State Board of Agriculture
and chairman OF the agricultural COM
mittee of the State Council of De.
fense. According TO Mr.. Hill, corn thai
has been left on the stalk after the
freezing weather OF October cannot be
depended upon for seed except by
an ear test. Mr.. Hill has made many
termination tests recently and finds
that the shocked corn shows splendid
termination in practically every In
stance. He, therefore, urges farmers
to save seed from such fodder before
ii Is fed. By doing this they will save
thousands of bushels of reliable seed
that otherwise would go TO the feed
lot. This is not only vital matter
and one of good business. says Mr..
Hill. but 1t is a patriotic duty, since
upon the food supply the success in
the war will largely depend. Saving
seed out of the fodder corn will help
save America

Praises Red Cross Work.

The widely circulated story that the
knitted articles sent out by the Red
Cross are not suitable for army use
and that the men at the cantonments
are using them to shine their shoes
and clean their guns is probably some
German propaganda. Almost every
letter from the former students and
alumni of the University OF South Da-
kota received by their friends
mentions the work of the Red Cross
knitters and expresses appreciation of
the wristlets, warm sweaters, scarfs
and helmets. Vernon Beaumont, Of
Pierre. one of the latest recruits to
the navy radio service, said: II did
not understand what the Red Cross
was doing until arrived at Camp
Decatur and saw it first hand. They
handed out truck load after truck load
of comfort kits and when you stop to
think they are doing the same thing
in hundreds of other camps in this
country and in Euyope, the magnitude
of their work is apparent"

Loyalty Day for south Dakota.

The Conservation and Loyalty Day
which is to be observed Sunday, De.

of Herbert Hoover, United States food
administrator, as is shown in the fol,
lowing telegram sent by Mr.. Hoover
to G. n. Herreid. federal food admin,
istrator for South Dakota: Your let

suggested plan for work through the
churches is excellent. We believe
that through no other means can the
hearts of the people be SO thoroughly
stirred as by the clergy. Unless we
as a nation learn TO practice self
sacrifice in the national interest. we
shall lose the greatest benefit that
might come to us from the work and
be the poorer spiritually and in every
way at its conclusion"

food administrator for South Dakota:
TO the People Of South Dakota: We'd
nesday is wheatless day. Our armies

America must furnish the wheat. Our
allies must have 220,000,000 bushels
from the United States We have only
SS,000,000 bushels more than we nor
mally use each year to give them. This
we can send, but it is not sufficient
We can't send them cornmeal, for it
doesn't keep in shipping. We cant
send them corn, for they haven't the
mills to grind it. We must save the
necessary 132.000,0 900 other bushels of
wheat. IL you observe wheatless day.
II you substitute rye bread. corn
bread. barley bread, and other kinds,
instead of wheat bread. and if the peo-
pie OF the other states do the same,

plished. You guard the soldiers ra.
