work for the people of the dist
rict and should be commended
by all.
Tuesday evening at meeting
of their Fire Department boys
plans were made for the erection
by the company for the erection
of a fire hall and opera house.
This building will be "a feet wide
by 80 feet long and will contain
a balcony and work will be start
ed Immediately on the building.
Several new residences will be
put up in town, and many of the
farmers we talked to are contem-
plating the erection of d new
house or barn.
For wide awake community
builders and for men and women
who are always willing to put
their shoulder to the wheel and
push for a better town the folks
over at Cottonwood cannot be
beat and it would be well for Ka-
doka citizens to display a little OF
the same community spirit as
is given us by the folks in the
little town over in the northwest
corner of the county and do d
few things which would prove OF
untold value to our county seat
town. Just for one moment dear
reader--think of an Sll 900 brick
school building with all modern
conveniences for both pupil anc
teacher, and again fire hall anc
opera house which will cost ir
/ the nei9hborhood of $500 over
at Cottonwood--then remember
what we have, a town twice OF
three times the size. The Press
is indeed glad that the Cotton
woodites have the spirit and en-
erey they are showing in build
ing up their town and we com
mend them from the bottom enc
of our old sinful soul.

HaWaiianS Are Coming

Those who enjoy the quaint
Hawaiian melodies as played and
sung by genuine natives, have a
rare treat in store on Tuesday,
June 26th, when the Hawaiian
Troubadors will appear at the
Kadoka Opera House in the mus
ical novelty "A Night In Hawaii. y
Every member of the troupe is a
thorough musician, their melo-
dious voices blending in pertect
harmony with the sweet tones OF
the native instruments.
The troupe is SIX in number
and bring with them the costum-
es and instruments used in their
island homes. They will use the
ukelele and the steel guitar, two
distinctly native instruments, IN
their string seXtette, while the
dancing girls will add the steps
of some of their remarkable dan
ces to the program.
Those who have never heard
the quaint haunting melodies Of
Hawaii have no idea of its sweet
appealing harmonies as interpret
ed by the natives.
The troupe comes well recon-
mended, having appeared in al
of the large cities of the western
half of the states and managers
of the largest theaters speak high
" of their ability as entertainers

Cottonwood Making
Good Improvements

While G.. N. Leedom of the
Press office was on his way to the
Carmichael sale north of Quinn
the first of the week, he visited
a couple of nights with old friends
and acquaintance over at our
nei9hboring town of Cottonwood,
and this being our first trip over
there for quite a spell we were
surprised at the different public
Improvements which the citizens
in town and the bows out on the
farms are making this spring.
The new $ll, 10000 brick school
building is about ready to turn
over to the district and we had
the pleasure of being shown thru
the edifice by that genuine boost

way is one of the liveliest mer-
chants in this section of South
Dakota, and we must say that
the school building would dc
credit to any town a good deal
larger than Cottonwood. 1t has

room for the furnace and coal, a
gymnasium for both the boys and
girls, while the second story is
made into four elegant school

A Western South
Dakota Event

The Alfalfa Palace of Rapid
City, to be held Sept. l7--22 offers
for the best display of alfalfa by
farmers In any county OF South
Dakota west of the Missouri riv-
er first prize of 5000; second
SIS; third $50 and fourth SIS.
This contest is open to all coun-
ties west of the Missouri river
and the exhibits include all such
products as are raised on the
farms of western South Dakota.
Prizes for the alfalfa contest
will be awarded by counties. In
this way farmers can get to9eth-
er and arrange an exhibit in the
most effective way to compete
for the prizes.
1t has been suggested by the
award committee that the farm
ers of each county get together
and select committee to arrange
with the farmers to bring in their
best products.
The Alfalfa Palace committee
will be able in a short time to
furnish premium lists and pro
gram of events, Anyone inter
ested may write to the Secretary

state sheriff covering all the llq-
uor sales of the past month. The
state sheriff notices that John
Doe has purchased three quarts
of alcohol a week for the past
month, presumably for a sick
horse. He does one of two things
and probably both. He ascer-
tainS if John Doe has a sick horse
during that period requiring the
administration of that amount of
alcohol or other liquor. If not,
Doe has convicted himself of per-
jury under the law and goes to
the penitentiary. The state sher-
if then goes to the drug store,
The law provides that this official
may revoke the permit of any
druggist if he thinks that he is
not selling in good faith. He
simply explains to the druggist
that he does not desire to revoke
his permit to sell liquor, but that
it is not believed John Doe is buy
ing his liquor in good faith nor
that the druggist is selling in
good faith, and that if any more
liquor is sold to this party the
permit will be permanently re-
voked That finishes Mr.. John
Doe, and also works with the
druggist, for he prefers to retain
the friendship of the state sheriff
rather than that of John Doe.
Both paI ties to the liquor sale
are in danger. If the purchaser
is convicted of perjury it means
he goes to the penitentiory. If
the state sheriff thinks that the
druggist is not acting in good
faith he revokeS his permit, and
may also bring a charge against
him for selling unlawfully be-
cause the law provides for the
prosecution of any person selling
liquor when he knows or may
have reason to believe that the
liquor is not being used for the
purpose for which it is said to be
purchased. But the chief value
of the law enforcement part OF
the law is that it conferS upon
the state sheriff tremendous au-
thority. He can make it mighty
unpleasant for any person who
either sells or possesses intoXiCat-
ing liquor for any purpose, and |
predict that there are not going
to be very MANY chances taken
with this law"

HySterical ECONOMY" A Menace

Uncle Sam is going to loan his allies in the great
war the immense of two billions OF dolars-more
if necessary A part of this loan has already been
made What does this mean to American business
men and American citizens'
Two billions of dollars is an immense sum. 1t is
equal to about $40 per capita for every man, woman
and child in the United States
Practically every cent of this loan will be spent
in this country for supplies of various kinds Get that
thought. This money is not gong out OF the country
1T will stay right here to help boost our prosperity
prosperity the like of which has never before been
known
1t means that much wealth added to our resour-
ces-n addition to which we shall receive the interest
on this loan matter of some sixty millions of dollars
more per year.
The natural resources of this country amount to
fifty billions of dollars per year-mOre than enough to
carry on even such gigantic war as we are now en-
gagged in and do so indefinitely.
This is true, of course only so long money, the
teblood of the nation continues to circulate freely
You can help win this great struggle for human
ity and universal freedom even if you are not called
to the colors You give this aid without making
any sacrifice even the slightest
All you are asked to do is to continue life
you have done for the last few years. Keep right on
buying the necessities for yourself and family. DO
not attempt rigid economy which will tend to check
the free circulation of money Remember that money
only works when it is circulatinghdden away in a
safety deposit vault, it does neither you anyone
else any good 1t is merely like so much implanted
seed-t lies dormant and useless. But when circulat
inc it works for its owner and brings back interest
with it.
Smie~live your usual hfe-~buy what you need
and paw for it promptly If we all do this we cannot
fail to win this war for humanity,

Horse Doctors Not MOnOpOhStS Under Dry Law

A Mitchell dispatch sent from
the headquarters of the State
/ Anti-Saloon League at that place
reads as follows:
The report that the new bone
dry law can not be properly en-
forced owing to a clause allowing
| the sale of liquor for veterinary
1 purposes is denied by Anti-Saloon
League officials here. The law
as it was passed by the le9isla,
ture was written by the Anti,
Saloon League after conference
w / t h prominent temperance
workers and some of the leading
lawyers of the country, and as
originally drawn did not have the
section referring to the sale of
liquor for veterinary purposes.
This was inserted later.
K. n. HolSaple, superintendent
OF the League declares that the
fears as expressed in the recent
news and editorial utteranCes are
| foolish. There is no loophole in
| this provision that need cause
anyone any uneasineSs." said Mr..
HolSaple. 1T is true that the
bill as we originally drew it did
not contain this provision but the
veterinarians of the state, acting
upon the advice of the Superin-
tendent of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, Mr.. Phelps,
threatened to bring about the de-
| feat of the bill because it did not
/ provide for the sale of liquor for
veterinary purposes. ManifeStly
we did not wish to give horse
doctors the right to furnish pre-
SCriptions for liquor. The attor-
ney general also expressed the
fear that it would work harm
and suggested that we put in the
bill a provision such as was final
| ly Incorporated. The critics of
the law do not seem TO realize
that the best enforcement meas
ures ever provided for any law
in the country are, Suppose, y
continued Mr.. Holsaple, that a
drug store makes a practice of
selling liquor frequently for vet
erinary purposes on an affidavit
of the purchaser and the pur-
chaser uses it for beverage pur-
poses. Every thirty days the
druggist sends in a sworn state
ment to the county auditor and

Marking Their Roads

Murdo Coyote: While on our
little trip out northwest of STAN
ford last Sunday we could not
help but observe the great inn
provement In the condition of
the public highways in this end
OF Jackson County---and we pre-
sumo that it is the same through
the entire length of the county.
Not only were we aereeably i'm.
pressed with the road work they
have done but also in the manner
in which they have their high
way marked. The new Washing
ton highway of which all of this
section OF the country from the
eastern Eart of the state to Rapid
City Is part has received due
and timely attention at the hands
OF the Jackson county authorities
and they have their portion of
the road marked with the very
conspicuous guide boards proper
| ly distributed along the way. In
travelling over the Jackson county
road it would be impossible for
any stranger to lose his way. The
signs are so placed as to be the
first thing to draw a persons at
tension at ever turn or cross road.
In conversation with several of
the residents of that county we
were informed that they had lust
purchased new steam road
grading outfit which will be used
for the purpose of constantly
making their roads better The
example of Jackson county might
well be taken benefcially by
many counties in the state, Jones
county being no exception.

1777---MY FLAG---l917

Something is happening to our flag in these days
something good. IT is making new friends and
making old ones; it being taken out of hStor
les; it is being untacked from decorations; it is being
removed from Advertising it is getting nearer its
rqhtful home in the hearts of the people for flag
in the heart is worth two on pole.
We have in our minds followed the flag given BY
Betsy Ross to George Washington to lead and cheer
the men of 76, as they bazed the trail of human lib
erty; we have seen the flag carried by those quiet
men who long ago risked all in order that it might
wave over an unbroken union; and as they pass by
we have heard the voice of Lincoln calling upon us to
that the government of the people, by the people
and for the people shall perish from the earth and
this perchanCe, has raised the personal question in
each mind is there anything should do?'
We have also seen the flag surrounded by the
boys of today who have. sworn to defend it and who
have left their regular pursuits in order to do So and
we have seen their brave home folks on whose faces
was written the fact that the price of patriotism is not
paid by alone, and again has arisen the personal
question, rs there anything that should do?"
We have seen all this; we know that this flag is
the sign of the best government that time has produC
ed the of all the victories and liberty has won,
the hope of the whole race on its march to better
things; but what does it mean to me-p personally to
me?
You are all alone now-n0t in mass meeting as
Sembled Forget everyone else and forget what you
think some one else ought to do Consider only the
question: What should do?" Speak aloud the words
Our Flag" and My Flag and notice the difference
Doy0u really love this flag? Will you call it my Flae?"
