A TACTLESS TEXT.

The other day the German EMPEROR &C
| companied by the brutal-faced Won linden
! budg, the harsh Ludendorff and others OF
his military satraps, attended solemn re-
ligious service in the Berlin cathedral The
text OF the sermon was taken from the 93rd
Psalm, fourth verse:
The Lc-d on High is mightier than
the noise on many waters, yea than the
mighty waves of the sea"
1t was singularlhy tactless text, no mat
ter what twist the obsequious court chap
lain gave to it. If the emperor and his COM
panlons in ruthlessness have any magina-
ton, the beautiful old lines from the Psalm
must have called up grizzly pictures
There IS an icy sea and a Geman torpedo
rips out the heart of the Lusitania, sending
men, women and children into the deep to
drown like rats. There are dispairing cries
of little ones. There are choking gasps o.
mothers with their babes There are heart
broken groans from men who cannot help
their beloved.
There IS noise on many watefs-the
noise of exploding torpedoes, of rending
timbers, of sucking whirlpoo1s, of agonized
human beings. 1t is noise that proclaims
German kultur, that announces the ocean
is no longer everyone's free highway. It is
a noise that says men may be murdered
while following their lawful business "a
the high seas
But, says the text, "The Lord on High is
mightier than the noise on many waters"
And there is faith in the world that will
not falter, that in its own good time and
in its own way, Providence will bring down
the nfurderers of the innocent. the ravagers
Of the world, the disturbers of the peace
In all history it has usually been so that
they who rule by the sword perish by the
sword; they who glory in blood sink in
blood; they who drown the world in tears
of agony are themselves drowned

One Hundred and Seventy-Sixth Day
of America in the War.
FRANK B. RADCLIFFE.

In the death of Frank B. Radcliffe West
Florida loses a useful citizen, a man who
always accomplished the task in hand, re-
gardless of the obstacles to be overcome.
His rise in the railroad world was merited
by his untiring energy and faithful atten-
ton to every detail of his work.
Possessed of a sterling character and a
deep sense of loyalty, he gained for him
self many friends throughout the state who
mourn his death, but assuage their sorrow
with the knowledge that the end came as
he would have wished tin the faithful
performance of his duty.

A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is a good plan to try Doana
Kidney Pills. They are strongly re-
commended by Pensacola people.

At the door of their apartment she
paused, her heart in her throat-then

she called shrilly. "Marie-Marie! I"
No answer.
She rushed into the nursery. There
was Marie sound asleep her hand rest
ing on the chair and with the baby
also asleep in the crib beside her.
After long breathless look, Helen
turned to find Warren standing in
the door behind her.

There is no occasion for losing hope in the
ultimate future of Russia, but considerable
time must elapse before a positive con-
structive process can show results.
Russia's many leaders are cropping
blindly for a way out of the country S

Won GOETZ TO DEWEY.

While at Manila, in 1898, Admiral Dewey
engaged in a conversation with Admiral Won
Goetz, during which the German officer
made some remarks so important that Ad-
miral Dewey incorporated them in report
to the government A few days ago, Sena-
tor Lewis caused the report to be taken
from the archives and made public. Goetz
said:

While Admiral Dewey was not a man
given to long reports, he believed Won
Goetz's remarks so vitality important that
he reported them in full. He realized that
they were prediction, rather than an idle
threat and he was right. About fifteen
years from now was 1913. Germany had
planned the war as long ago as that, Won
Goetz was familiar with the plans and he
knew that, following conquest Of Europe,
his government intended to conquer Amer

continue to maintain that Germany was

A PROCLAMATION

Never before in the entire history of
| the American Nation has there been a
| time when proper conservation of the
| COuntry's resources was moro desirable,
| more necessary, than at the present
| hour.
| Along all lines and from every angle
in the various walks of life, each citizen
must 'dO his bit' in this great move
| ment always important but TO which
| patriotism now adds a more COmprehen-
| sve significance.
| The monstTous fire waste throughout
| the country must be decreased and in
! the campaign now under way to prevent
and reduce fire losses all South Dakota
should Loyalty lend their efforts and
| bend their energies 1t is the duty of
the states people 10 reduce such losses
| to the smallest possible degree. Acct
! dental fires must be prevented and every
force and ingenuity used in that direc-
| ton.
In order that our citizens may well
| famiiarize themselves with this tre-
mendous fire waste, | hereby designate
| Tuesday, October 9, 1917, az Fire Pre-
vention Day in and for the State Of
! South Dakota, and earnestly urge and
recommend that it be so observed by
| e
the states whole people. The day should
! be made an occasion for a general "clean
up" by all property owners, unsightly
accumulation should be removed, and
highways, streets and alleys thoroughly
cleaned, while in the schools instructions
on the common fire hazards, fire pre-.
vention, protection and fire fighting
should be given and fire drills held, TO
the end that our great national ash heap,
so monumental disgrace to our coun-
| try, so grave menace to our people,
may be lowered and finally removed.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed the
great seal of the State of South Dakota,
at the capitol in the City Of Pierre this
10th day of September, 1917.

HELP THE WINGS OF
THE UNITEI

A vast fleet of aeroplanes, a flock of
thirty-hve thousand birdmen-that is
what the Government is planning that
we may win the war. But ali this takes
time and money Funds are needed
during the time of training; there is a
sad lack of those important supplies
which make for efficiency and safety,
like scientific magazines, binoculars,
proper clothing for flights through cold
air, pulmotors and hospitals in case Of
accident In time the Government will
supply all these things, but meanwhile
will you help2
But why help the avaitors," do you
ask "My son is in the army, mine
is a sailor" Because every soldier and
sailor is thousand times safer if be is
fighting under the protection, literally,
of the wings of the United States"
Help the Wings the United States
is the slogan of those who have organ
lied the Treasure and Trinket Fund of
America. This community may CON
tribute more sons to the Flying Corps
The boy who enlists as private in the
army, the navy, or the marines may
have his chance to join the birdmen,
and he will take it. He thrills at the
thought of fighting the enemy from the
sky. If he passes the tests he takes
three months training. Then on to
France to hover over the army and navy.
These are the men for whom the
Treasure and Trinket Fund is being
raised. Isn't it wonderful that you can
help protect the boys fighting on land
and sea2 OF course you want to help
"Sacajawea" means Bird Woman and
when the girls of Sacajawea Camp Fire
read in the September Woman's Home
Companion about this fund for the bird
men they were thrilled and wanted to
help too. Watch the store Windows and
this paper for definite announcements of
the date Of Sacajawea's Treasure and
Trinket Day.
Meanwhile you can prepare to help.
Each one OF you has some discarded bit
of jewelry, or bit of old fashioned table
silver no longer used. Hunt out every
thing you have that you can spare-old
spoons, bracelets, brooches, chains, coins,
useless trinkets No broken bit is too
small TO be sent TO the mint. If the
piece is too fine for that, il will 20 to the
aviation sale to be held in November.
We do not want money gather all the
discarded treasures, the baubles of youth,
the gifts from friends almost forgotten,
the relics of relatives dead and gone
and dream of the possibilities in just
your little heap of treasures and trink-
cts.
Keep your little hoard until you hear
from Camp Sacaiawea through posters
and this paper, or by telephone. If you
wish information further see page nine
Woman's Home Companion or drop a
card to Camp Sacaiawea, Custer, 5. D.,
and the bird women will see that you re-
ceive an answer.

quet was feast of good things and all
that could be desired. Just previous to
serving the banquet Miss Wander Stein,
assisted b. Mrs. Meyers, gave a beauti-
ful solo which was greatly appreciated
quet Rev. W 5. Harper gave a stirring
talk on the Ideals of the u. S and said
that while they were going out TO bat
tie against mighty and cruel foe that
they were going to fight for an issue that
was clear cut They were to help pre-
serve for the world all that was worth
while in human liberty and freedom. "
After the supper the boys gathered at
the Court House from where they were
escorted to the Depot by the Veterans
