A COURAGEOUS EDITOR RET1REs.

til announced that Mr.. Bowen has retired from the active editor
ial management of the Dakota Huronte at Huron, owing, in part, to
advancing years Che is 74) and failing eyesight.
We regret that this old Landmark" has laid down the pen and
the pastebrush. For approximately half a century Wheeler s. Bowen
has been a potent factor in the development of the territory of Dakota
and the state Of South Dakota.
While the greater proportion o fte present population Of South
Dakota was yet unborn, this man was fighting battles for humanity.
As the editor of the Yankton daily, in a city which was the capital
OF the territory, his influence was widespread, and the name of
Bowen & Kngsbury was a household word among the pioneers of the
IDakotas.
But few writer's in either of the Dakotas has ever climbed to the
heights to which Editor Bowen has assembled, and but few pens in
this region roundabout have been as forceful and trenchant as his.
We're not going to bid this old editorial warhorse goodbye
nay, for here's hoping and praying that his health may soon be re-
stored and that he may live to die in the harness.
After debating since the war began between this country and
Germany, the staid. old senate has finally gotten around to pass some
sort of a food control bill. The price for No. 1 Northern wheat is
fixed at two dollars, but everything else is allowed to run wild. Why
mot fix the price of the pillow that the farmer must use in growing his
No. / Northern wheat?
This war is not running according to the program which the
participants had in mind when the dogs of war were let loose.
IT is time for our Teutonic brother to cease talking about who is
responsible for the war;. The world has come quite generally, by
now, to understand how the war started.
Russia is still a problem SO far as its participation ID the balance
tof the war is concerned.

TO THE HOUSEWIFE
The Nations Greatest Conserver Of
Foodstuffs

F~oodstuffs
Dear Madam:
Not only from an economic but also
from a scientific standpoint bread from
wheat flour--GARLAND FLOUR--is the best
all around food that nature produces.
It builds bone, delicate nerve tissue
and tough sinew. It makes soft damask
cheeks and steely muscles. It gives
stamina and strength.
Give your Family more bread,
rolls, biscuits and things made from
GARLAND FLOUR. Give them the food ele-
ments their bodies need and that GARLAND
FLOUR contains generously in easily
assimilated form. At the same time
effect a real domestic economy.
Very truly yours,

BANK Officials Say That Bulk of Sub
scriptions Has Been Made by Wage
Farmers, Who Realize Responsibilities
Better than Folks With More Money

With five days left in which to sub
scribe to the Liberty Lean of 1917 the
Brattleboro bank8 reported this morn
ing that Brattlcboro had taken bonds
to the amount Of approximately $780,
600. This is about $4,000 short of what
the town ought to subscribe to make
It's quota well above the estimate of 500
per capita upon which the federal gov
eminent depends.
The Peoples National bank reported
subscriptions Of 100000; the Vermont
National, $4,000 and the Brattleboro
Tsust Co, 10000 At each institution
mention was made TO the fact that n
large part of the subscription was made
up OF small amounts taken bv wage
earners. this being particularlv true in
the case Of the Brattlcboro Trust Co.
which is operating a Liberty Loan club.
Of course, there are some approximate
ly large local subscriptions, but a dearth
OF subscriptions for medlum amounts.
Bank officials are hopeful that before
Friday this town not only will have
subscribed what is expected of it but
have exceeded its quota bv substan
tial figure. They feel, however. that
there are great many people in mod
crate circumstances who have not rea-
llzed their responsibilities in connection
with the loan.
