A photographer Of children whose
chief property vas a we'll groomed
Shetland pony created a stir when he
peared in Harlem. The animal wore a
a we'll made saddle, his headstall was
gayly bedecked with rosettes and a
small American flag rested on the
crown of his head. He was a well
trained animal, too. for as the photo
grapher found his young customers and
lifted them to the back Of the pony,
there to have their pictures made, there
never was a move until the youngsters
were again lifted to the ground.

EXCESS OF LAB0RERS
IN REGION OF HURON
influx Of Farm Help Noted
Believed Many Seek to Es-
cape Army Draft. +;

Huron, S. d. May 31.-A report of an
I'VE supply of farm labor at the present
time is given out from the Huron Com.
mercial club which has been acting az
a free employment bureau for the
farmers in this vicinity. 1t is not known
whether the many labor seekers which
come here are "slackers.'' leaving east
ern cities to escape the possibility of
draft. or whether they earnestly prefer
to help with the food production. At
"a there is at the present a large
number OF apparently competent farm
hands looking for work in this vicinity,
and they cannot be placed because there
are no calls for farm hands.

Another Pioneer Called:

Mrs. Catherine Steffes died at
her home in this city last Wednes-
day, Oct. 25th. Mrs. Steffes was
nearly seventy years of age and.
while was afflicted with no serious
malady, she had gradually been
growing weaker, until the end
came as stated above last Wednes-,
day.
The funeral was conducted by
Father Ridder in St. Johns
church last Saturday and the bur-
ial was in st. Calvary cemetery.
The pallbearers were Messrs,
Reeder, Eberly, Brand, Fink,
Heating and Connolly.
Mrs. Steffes was born in Bavar-
ia, Germany, in 1s47, came to this
country and located in Wisconsin
when she was twenty years of age
and one year later was married to
Mr.. Peter Steffes, and ten years
later or in 1878 they moved to
North Dakota and located in Cen
ter township in Richland county
and that place continued to be the
family home until the last couple
OF years, when they lived in Wah-
peton.

Opportunities for Education

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 81
10 the young man or woman who
seeks to obtain a college degree and
a livelihood at the same time, no
city i'll the country offers an op-
portunity more attractive than that
to be found in in the national cap
ital. The several universities at
Washington provide evening class
es with hours arranged convenient
ly for Government employees, who
ordinarily complete their days
work at half past four and all lib
rarles, including the Library OF
Congress, are open at night.
For years thousands of young
people have entered the civil SER
vice at Washington with the main
idea Of devoting three or four
years to equipping themselves for
q professional or scientific career
while supporting themselves. Many
Of the young men live at fraternity
houses, comparatively conducted,
thereby lessening the living ex-
pense and also securing IL place
where they can entertain their
friends.
In addition to the university
courses. the Young Men s Christ
ian Association and private schools
conduct evening classes in technics,
languages. accountancy. steno-
graphy and typewriting, and the
usual high school studies.
Notwithstanding the drafts for
military service, practically all
schools in Washington show an in
creased enrolment this year. This
is due to the great influx incident
to the war. Ten or twelve thou
sand new clerks and other employ
ees have been appointed in the de-
partments and this great civilian
army is being added to daily. STEM
ographers and typewriters and
merchanical craftsmen for the SER
vice generally, and what are known
as schedule clerks, index and cata-
loug clerks, clerks qualified in
statistics or accounting and clerks
qualified in business administra-
tion for the office Of the Ordnance
Department Of the Army are in de-
mand.
The representatives of the Fed
eral civil service commission at
the post offices in all cities are re-
ceiving numerous inquiries from
persons who wish to be at the seat
of government at this time of big
events and to have part in the
actual administration of the Gov
ernment's great business. Women
are finding in this office work an
opportunity to edo their bit" in
g very practical way.

Federal Farm Loan

We now have two Federal Farm
Loan organizations in Richland
County. Any farmer desiring to
make loan can do so at almost
any time. For further informa-
ton write or call the County
Agent. Because many people mis-
understand the law, | will answer
a few questions.
Qeustion. What is the rate of
interest?
Answer. 5 per cent.
Question. When can debt be
paid off?
Answer. Any time after five
years.
Question. Can you place sec
ond mortgage on your farm if you
like?
Answer. Yes, you can.
Question. Are you required to
take stock in the Farm Loan
Bank?
Answer. Yes, up to 5 per cent
of the amount borrowed. This.
however, will ultimately pay you
dividends and reduce your inter
est rate below S per cent. Thi:
stock is good investment for yor,
and is all returned to you when
your loan is paid up.
Question. Why are some peo-
pie talking against Federal Farm
Loans?
Answer. Because it enables
farmers to get money at per cent
whereas heretofore they paid, 6, I
and 8 per cent. This means 1, 2,
or 3 per cent out of their pockets
into the farmers pocket. That is
a good enough reason for any one
to talk against it.
Question. Is there red tape
connected with it?
Answer. Absolutely none, ex-
cept such requirements as are nee
essary to make it entirely safe.
Qeustion. What causes the de-
lays?
Answer. The delays are caused
by farmers not getting their alb
stracts and deed in shape. After
the farmer has his title in shape.
he can have his money at once.

New CoIonist Arrives.

Miss Wahneta, q new settler, ar
rived at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Schuyler Primley who live at
E. f. Hayward's Haymeadow Farm,
at Rummeles. She came on the
.'Stork Special'' arriving at her des-
tination April %, 1917.
Miss Wahneta is an entire stranger
in these parts, never having even
heard of Rummeles or the Primleys
previous TO her arrival. Yet is so
completely taken up with the "Dairy
Dollar district" that she cannot find
words to express her delight and has
fully decided to make permanent
home on the beautiful Haymeadow.
While Miss Wahneta does not pro-
fess to be Dairy expert, she is very
much interested in Pure Milk. z
She was to have been introduced
into Rummeles society by DIR. Thorpe
of Eagle River, but owing to severe
storm and impossible roads on the
night of her arrival, only Mr.. and
Mrs. Primley and a few neiglbors
were there to welcome her.
Miss Wahneta is a very bright
young lady, and once she has learned
to speak our language, will undoubt-
eddy prove very worthy addition to
t'Haymeadow Colony
For the benefit of eligible young
bachelors, who may be interested /
might add, Miss Wahneta is nearly
one week old and weighs s pounds
(dressed). Her address is:
Miss Wahneta Primley, Conoyer,

ley, HaymeadoW Farm.
