The county commissioners have
contracted with Holm & Olson
landscape gardeners, to. remove some
of the large elm trees on the court
house grounds and place them on
the front boulevard, and. also to
improve the grounds by thinning
out some of the box elders and
planting shrubbery, 50 that the
grounds will be in keeping with the
beauty of the building.
The old court house grounds, now
the property of the city, should
also be taken in hand. and, and it
has been suggested that a children 8
play ground be made where the old
court house is standing, and the
trees on the other part thinned out
and an artistic park made of the
grounds.
The railroad company and the
city will probably make mutual ar
rangements for having the vacant
property at the depot made into an
artistic park. and thus beautify
that locality.

A nation wide movement has

described opponents Of the move

Laundry Burns.

About half past three O'Clock
Sunday morning the Fred A. Will
liams' laundry just east of the St.
Hubert hotel was discovered to be
on fire, but when discovered the
building was all in flames. By the
time the water was coming through
the hose it was seen that there
would be no hope of saving the
building, but the nearby auto gar
age Of James Brannon was in great
danger. and would undoubtedly
have caught fire had there been
any wind. Luckily the night was
calm,s and with a good wetting
down by the hosemen the garage
was placed out of danger. tho the
laundry building was completely
destroyed.
Mr.. Williams had but $4,000 in
surance. half of this on the build
ing and half on the machinery. and
he will have a large total loss above
the insurance.
He is as yet undecided as to
what arrangements he can make to
secure quarters to continue the
business. as he is not prepared to
rebuild. and there is no suitable
place to be procured at rental. .

The ca. ;'iuation.

,smething Of alarm has been
flE in regard 10 a shortage of hard
co\, as there has been but little
coming in anf: the dealers bins have
been empty f6r some time. What
few carloads have been coming in
have been quickly doled out in
small quaaltities to customers. Deal
ers state hat they cannot get or
ders lcied with their supply house,
the -.ificulty being, according to
them, not SO much a shortage of
coal as a. shortage Of cars for trans
porting it. One Of the local deal
ers states that there has probably
been as much coal shipped in here
this year as in former wears, but
many more than usual have laid in
their winters supply, and this has
left the dealers bins empty. If
this is so, and it probably is, with
reasonable receipts there may be no
serious shortage.
To avoid a possible calamity
States Attorney Jones got busy on
the situation the first Of the week,
and in correspondence with DR..
Garfield the Uss S. coal commission
err, called attention to. the situation,
and the local dealers have commence
ed to receive some hard coal, and
the probabilities are that there will
be some shipments right along.

north of here, settlements are be-
ing made seven hundred miles to

pire in that direction is awaiting
development, with the richest soil
in the world and a climate that is
modified by the mountains and the
air currents from the Pacific ocean,
80 that it is vastly milder than in
similar. latitudes further east. He
says that this was noticeable on
his trip from Bawlf to Winnipeg
last week. In Alberta when he
left men were plowing in the fields,
but getting up in the morning as
the train approached Winnipeg the
ground was seen to be covered with
several inches Of snow, and the in

set in there.
Mr.. Thirsk expects to visit here
for several weeks before returning

urged to spend at least one after
noon in each week working for
the soldiers. Come every after
noon If you can. Your help is

Several interesting letters
have been received by Milbank
workers from soldiers to whom
have been sent articles from the

boys do not get the articles and
that II they do get them that
they have to pay for them.

Girl Drowned

Last Tuesday afternoon about
2::3O o'clock Rose Haney, girl a.
bout twelve years of age and her
brother Joseph, ten years old, were.
wandering around lake Milhank
with q gun to shoot ducks. The
girl went out on the thin ice to
get nearer some decoys that were
floating there. and the ice gave
way with her. The boy plunged
in after her and dove down twice
in hopes Of bringing up his sister.
but was unable to get her. After
breaking his way to where the ice
was solid enough to hold him he
ran for his home and assistance
was telephoned for. Sheriff Fin
ley and several others responded,
AMI Andrew Monson and Frank
Nelson after some effort with grap-
pling hooks brought the body to
the surface.
The girl was q daughter of Mr..

Y. N. {. A.
Have You Done Your Bit to Provide
Recreation and Moral Help for
the COuntry'S Defenders.

The great work of the Red Cross
is for the sick and the wounded.
A hardly less important work is
that of the Y. M. C. A.. which is
to provide wholesome help, enter
tainment, and create moral and
religious atmosphere and associa-
tion for the soldier boys in canton
ment. Both Of these lines Of work
are needed in the army, and the
government has turned over this
last department Of work to the Y.
M. c. A. organization, and to the
Knights of Columbus for the Cath
olic soldiers. The work which the
organization is to accomplish is
summed up in the following:
Provides for social center.
Stationery for the men to write
home.
NEWSPAPERS and books.
Checkers, chess. dominos, etc.
Volley ball, baseball, football.
Motion pictures. Entertain
ments of all kinds, using camp tai
ent.
Victrola and piano.
Lectures, educational classes.
Religious meetings, bible classes.
Enlisted mems bible and prayer
league.
Scriptures distributed.
Visits to sick.
Sunday schools.
Clean living campaigns.
Personal interviews.
Secretaries to write letters for
those unable themselves to write.
To supply a great army with all
of these things it will require
millions of dollars, all of which
which must be raised by the free
contributions Of the friends of the
soldiers. For this South Dakota
has been apportioned $l25, 900.
A campaign for funds has been
commenced in the county, and
every person in the county will
have an opportunity TO give some-
thing to this fund to provide the
boys with wholesome surroundings
in their camp life. Give willingly.
and as largely as possible to raise

below a canvass has already been

don Burke. George Burke, Acker-
man. Thomas, Ferguson, Schadd

tions to the anHount of 81, 500.
The Tokaheya campfire girls, tho
not asked to participate in the sale
of bonds, got busy on the last day
and sent in subscriptions amount
ing-to $3.50.
Most Of the higher grades in the
school here raised money among its
pupils to buy bonds with, and did
good work in soliciting from others.
We particularly wish to thank the
teachers for their good work in or
ganizing.
Further we wish to congratulate
Mr.. L. M Saunders. the chairman
of the county liberty loan board
for the efficient way he has handled
the campaign.
While we feel that Sherman's
definition of war is correct, never
theless this war is accomplishing
some good that possibly could not
be accomplished in any other way;
it is reviving our patriotism, de-
stroying our seltishness, and teach
ing US the blessings to be derived
from freely giving, making this
nation one big family. and ultimat-
" bringing in the dawn Of the day
when the cry shall be heard thruout
