FEDERAL COURT AT
YANkTON.

Yankton, Aug. 29.-Another party
of draft resisters from Hutchinson
county arrived in Yankton under
charge of United States Deputy Mar
shall Hickey. Thirty were prisoners,

raigned last week. Friends, attor-
neys, bondsmen, ETC., made up the
rest of the party. The charge
against them was a petition address
ed to the governor repudiating the
draft as unconstitutional, not having
been referred to the people, asking
for a new quota not based upon vol
unteer exemptions, charging political
influence of the large city press and
demanding the reputation of war
debts.

and was held to the federal court un-
der $1,000 bonds.

HAVE YOU ANY MILK BOTTLES
IN YOUR HOME?

Owing to the high cost of glass
and the continual advance in price of
milk bottles, 1t makes it especially
necessary that we keep constantly
after our deliverymen in bringing
back the empty milk and cream bot
ties. He in turn must insist that he
gets his bottles from customers.
There is no business which requires
such a carefully handled or expensive
package to deliver a product sold as
cheaply as milk. A milk bottle is
worth nearly as much as the milk it
contains.
Wa hope u patrons will cooper
ate with us in setting u their empty
milk and cream bottles. and also if
there are any stray milk bottles
around the house. please set them
out for our delivery men.-Wilkin-
sons Dairy. Phone 1922.

WILSON'S REPLY
To PEACE Note
OF STATE DOCUMENTS ON
WORLD DEMOCRACY.

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 20
President Wilson has rejected the
pope's peace proposals.
In a note dispatched last night and
made public here the president says
that while every hart not blinded and
hardened by the terrible war must be
touched by the moving appeal of his
holiness, il would be folly to take the
path of peace he points out if ii does
not in fact lead to the goal he pro
poses.
To deal with such a power as the
present rulers of Germany upon Pope
Benediet's plan. declares the presi-
dent, would involve a recuperation of
the strength and renewal of the
world domination of that power. now
baked, but not defeated. after sweep
ing a continent with the blood of in
nocent women and children and the
helpless poor as we'll as of soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the peoples and
upon justice and fairness and the
common rights of mankind, he adds,
and I'VE cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure.
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified i'm accept

Esws reached hero this week that there is sons;dsysbls~ excitement in the Tolstoi be- eauss of elaim.jumpins on Midway ersek. upon which discoveries of excellent pros. poets were recently made.

The claims involved are those upon which Willissoa recently gave aa op- sios.
