County Red Cross
Association Organized

AT the mass meeting called to
be held in the opera house at Ka-
doka on last Tuesday afternoon
steps were taken to form a Jack
son County Red Cross aSSocia-
ton. The attendance at the meet
ing was not quite as large as was
hoped for, yet those present were
very enthusiastic over the great
work done by the Red Cross
members throughout the nation,
and before the meeting adjourned
a temporary organization was
formed with John X. Benika, as
chairman and Miss Nell Osborn
of this place, secretary.
To our mind there is no more
laudable undertaking. for our peo-
pie than to give of their funds
and time in assisting in the great
work being done by the Red
Cross people and we look for the
Jackson county association to do
its real part In the good work.

Farmers State Bank
A Home Institution

AT the Semi-annual meeting of
the directors of our local bank
ing institution held in the bank
rooms on last Saturday evening,
the stock held by MeSSrS. Millette
and Sumner of Fort Pierre, and
their associates, was purchased
by local parties and from now on
the Farmers State Bank becomes
a thorough home bank, owned
and controlled exclusively by
Kadoka and Jackson county citi-
ZenS.
By the transfer of the stock
held by non-reSidentS it became
necessary for the board of dir
ectorS to select new officers and
the following were named:
President, ]. H. Snyder.
Vice-Pres., Fred H. Sears.
Cashier, Ray E. Millikem
The Board of Directors is con-
stituted as follows: Joseph Rocks,
Fred II. Sears, c. N. Leedom, J.
Fl. Snyder, F. G.. Fisher, A. q.
Granger and X. E. Milliken,
The Press is indeed glad to see
this bank become a home bank,
we believe that the institution
can be of more assistance in
building up the community in
which it serves by being owned
and controlled by men who have
their all invested in that COM
munity which is to be assisted by
a banking institution, yet at the
same time we as a public ser
want. desire to thank the non
resident retiring stock holder for
the interest they took in us as a
community, and we want to
assure them at. this parting of the
way, that Kadoka and the people
of her territory appreciate the
many aSsiStanceS rendered by
them during the time they were
interested in our town.

Some Pleasant Facts

Sicdl SUCCESS III Whatever
aspect it is considered. The gov
ernment called for two billion
dollars and over three billion was
subscribed for by more than four
million people. This large sub
scription and this great number
OF subscribers were obtained,
after a short campaign, from a
Nation that as a people were not
accustomed to purchasing Gov
ernment bonds. The spirit with
which vast numbers of citizens
and organizations worked to make
the loan a success is not an un-
impartant element in making the
loan not merely a success but a
triumph.
1t should be remembered, too,
that the boud issues of other ma
tionS were sold when the foe was
either on their territory or at
their very gates. Our bonds were
sold when danger was far from
us. There was no dureSS, there
was no hySteria, and there was
but little war spirit. The bonds
were bought in the calm exercise
of patriotism and sound business
judgement after a Campainn of
education and information.
Richmond, Va, the old capital
of the Confederacy, bought a Lib
e.ty Bond for every five inhabi-
tantS. Montana, in the far West,
largely exceeded its quota of
bonds. Little villages all over
| the country exceed their quotas
{aS the metropolis of the country
greatly exceeded its. There was
hardly a State, city, or commune
ty that did not do the same. Poor
fcrop conditions, a recent great
fire, and other local causes result
ed in two districts falling a little
below their allotments, but the
| la1 ge oversubScription every
where else more than made up
| for this unavoidable deficiency.
Cities with large forei9n-born
populations subscribed as liber-
| ally as others. aa aga1a@ el. a-.7
The united spirit of the Amer
ican people, the solidarity of the
Nation, made up as tits of people
from all nations, have been dem
onstrated. szase saa
A second loan1iS contemplated
within the next few months. The
same things that made the initial
loan of two billion dollars a sue
cess will operate to make the
new, one equally successful. In
fact, the information regarding
Government bonds and finances
now possessed by the people OF
the country will moke the placing
of the next issue of bonds less
difficult. Those subscribers of
the first issue who were not allot-
ted their full subscriptions will
give the new issue a start of more
than a billion dollars, since it
may be regarded as certain that
! they will not lo.e the opportunity

100000 TONS
OF COAL COACHED"
Fuel Administrator Finds
Vast Quantity of Bitumi-
nous Stored in Cleveland
MAY SEIZE THE SURPLUS

WASHINGTON. oct. is.
The Fuel Administration has found an
proXmately 100000 tons of soft coal
cached" in the Cleveland district by pri-
vate interests now obtaining a steady sup
ply TO meet present needs, and has made
plans to commander much Of this sur
plus at Government rates IL the shortage
in other sections makes such action ad-
visable. Under this scheme mines would
later be directed to replenish the supply
seized as IL was needed at the price the
Administration had paid for it.
This was one OF the most important de-
velopments which became known in con-
nection with the efforts Of DR.. H. A. Gar
field. the fuel administrator to keep the
Government and the manufacturers of war
essentials supplied with coal. Investigations
are being made in several other districts TO
ascertain If corporations are storing guam
titles above immediate needs. Doctor Gar
field has persisted in his assertions that
the alleged shortage was not as real as
some operators and manufacturers insisted,
and has said that he was preparted to go
the limit where any situation not to the
Governments liking presented itself.
Doctor Garfield said that photogra phis
had been taken of the coal stored in the
Cleveland district and were in the possession
Of the Fuel Administration as evidence.
Doctor Garfield admitted today that the
situation in the central coal fields, where
some 10000 miners already are on strike
and other walkouts are threatened. looks
serious"
II am still giving the subject of increases
my whole attention." he said. "and hope
soon TO be able to announce a decision that
will clear up the whole matter"
John p. white. president of the United
Mine Workers and a membeV of the fuel ad
minstration, talked with divisional head
quarters in the central district over the
telephone today and urged that every effort
be made to get the men to return TO work.
Unless the strikes come to halt at once
White will go to Illinois to cope with the
situation in person.
White conferred with Garfield today and
assured him that all union officials deplore
the failure OF some of the men to abide by
the agreement reached in Washington two
weeks ago. He believes, however that he
will be able TO get the men back into line
when the details OF the situation have been
explained TO them.
