The Vision.

1t was during the midnight of free
dom, during the winter of 177S, while
General George Washington with his
army of the faithful few, scantily clad
and scantily fed. were in winter quar-.
ters at Valley Forge. One day The
commander had some plans to con
slider and wishing TO mediate in
secret gave strict orders that no one
should be admitted to his room As
the man who was later to be known
as the Father of his Country sat in
deep thought he heard a step near the
door. Raising his head the general
observed noble appearing woman
dressed in black Asked why she
that he be not disturbed, the woman
looked at him earnestly and said:
Son of the republic. look and
learn" Turning his eyes in the di-
rection indicated by her pointing hand
the general saw plainly mapped before
him the continents OF the world.
North and South America. Europe
Asia and Africa Misty clouds hung
over the English colonies and North
EhsiiNi ia anu btlltdt4i llltul " 10 utdAu
the sound Of battle and the cry OF dis
tress. Shortly the clouds and the fog
disappeared from the Atlantic and the
vision said that the American colon
les were free. Washington then saw
cities and villages springing up like
magic, first along the Atlantic coast,
then further west until they dotted
the prairies like flowers in a garden.
Again the fog and mist began to set
tie over the land and Washington
heard the voices of hatred and dis
pute The clouds thickened and with
the increasing gloom came the
sound of mighty cannonading, the cry
of distress and sorrow among the
people
For the second time the clouds lift
ed and dispersed as before from the
face of land and ocean and an angel
appeared wearing a liberty cap and
wreath which she took from her head
aud placed upon the American flag.
Following the second conflict even
greater improvements were revealed,
including the highway across the
Rocky mountains and along the Paci
fic coast
Once more the clouds settled first
over Europe, then drifting rapidly
over Asia and last enveloping the
of North and South Amer
lea With the blotting out of the
land and the sea the boom of cannon,
the shrek of conflict and a great cry
of distress from the people of the
United States. The period of the last
disturbance was brief. about half as
long as that which depicted the con-
hict between the north and the south |
When the clouds cleared for the last
time the angel who had decorated the |
American flag with the liberty cap
and wreath, proclaimed that the last |
war of our people was at an end |
There was great rejoicing among the |
people of our beloved land and there /
was harmony among the inhabitants !
Of all countries.

Of the Spectator. must be the
duty Of state Aside from re-
commencing the creation Of a
Market Commissioner, the Governor
urges the legislature to appoint a
special committee instructed to
take under serious consideration
the matter Of the establishment Of
terminal grain elevators, and the
proper grading of grains and
seeds and all other matters looking
to the welfare and uplift Of the
agricultural interests Of this state.
The South Dakota militia boys
now on the border are commended
for their great sacrifice and for
their loyalty and service to the
state.
The maximum control rate in
this state under present laws, ex-
cept on loans secured by real
estate, is twelve per cent and |
recommend that this be reduced to
ten per cent
The Torrens system Of land titles
is mentioned comendatorily and the
legislature is requested, if they
deem it advisable, arrange for the
installation Of this system during
the coming years in this state.

leastto misunderstanding on the part
of the voters, and likewise because
the proposed amendment was
thought to be too far-reaching.
The work of the board of Rail
road Commissioners is praised and
they are especially praised for their
recent successful efforts in prevent
ing an increase in the intrastate ex-
press rates. Had the proposed
addition succeeded it would have
cost the people Of this state
approximately two numbered
thousand dollars annually in higher
express rates.
The Budget System plan Of
making appropriations is discussed
and commended by Governor Nor
beck. He thinks that the Budget
System cannot be properly put into
effect in this state without a con-
stitutional amendment and recon-
mends that the Legislative submit
such an amendment to the people
at the next general election.
The Governor recommends that
immediate action be taken provid-
ing for the creating Of a depart
ment called the Estate Land Bank
and that the administration Of the
rural credit schemes be placed in
charge Of this department. If
prompt action il taken by the Iegisla

partment can be in working con-
dition and OF service to the people

They've been reading columns Of news
by special staff correspondents of the
doings of Chicago boys at Rockford
and down at Houston. but nary spe-
cial writer has come to seek them out
at Battle Creek or share with them
their grub.
They have been lost in the shuttle

from Michigan and wisconsin. But
they are soldiers, and they complained
not. They were discovered by Frank
]. Kohout, 1922 West Twenty-sixth

them alone in their lonesomeness.
