pointed, delegation of high men"
of the Hutterische society have re-
turned from Washington, D. c., where
they attempted to obtain exemption
for their young men from military
service. They had failed. The high
men" of five colonies near here-the
Rockport, Rosedale, Elm Springs, New
Elm Springs and Wolf Creek colonies
Offered $4,000 for any use the gov
eminent might see fit, so far as the
money was not used for war purposes,

tons. While they declined to say
what happened in Washington, it is
indicated that the war office, while it
received them, refused fatty to con-
slider any move that would in any way
exempt these men from service.

Sioux Falls.-Mitchell was chosen
as the meeting place for the South
Dakota educational meeting in 1918.
There was not much competition in
his fight, as it was generally con-
coded from the first that Mitchell
would win out. Representatives Of
that city have been busy in Sioux
Falls the past two days mingling
among the teachers and offering many
reasons why the association should
meet there, the principal one being a
fine musical attraction. AS special
musical attraction they offered Miss
Anna Case, a member of the Metro
politan Opera company and one of
Americas most celebrated sopranos.
DR.. H. M. Gage, president Of Huron
college, won out in a contest by big
majority for president of the associa-
ton over Sdmond Steele, of Howard,
county superintendent of Miner coun-
ty. Both men are we'll known educat-
ors in the state and their friends were
almost equally divided.
The officers are as follows:
Presidential. M. Gage, Huron.
Recording Secretary-Mrs. Olive M.
Warren, Spearfish.
Corresponding Secretary-A. H. Sey-
mour, Aberdeen.
Treasurer. w. Beemer, Platte.

Trace Death Of Hous.

Mitchell.-German propaganda in a
new form is thought to have been dis
covered in Davidson county. During
the past two weeks hundreds of pigs,
in most cases ready for the market,
have died from what is now termed a
mysterious disease, supposed to have
been carried by so-called serum
sold by an itinerant peddler Federal
and state officials are investigating
and a search is being made for the
remedy salesman. Tension is high
among the farmers who have lost pigs,
and the result of chemical analysis
of the matter sold by the traveller is
awaited with interest.

Lost While Hunting.

Colton.-A. ]. Erickson and Garland
Ellis have returned from a big game
hunt in the wilds of northern Mime
sofa. One of their experiences was to
become lost, and for a period of "a
hours they did not know where they
were and spent most of the time lSt-
ening to the chorus Of wild animals
about them and expecting momentar-
lily to be attacked by the fiercer ami
mails. They finally succeeded in max
ing their way to a little settlement.
During their hunting trip they failed
to find any moose because the snow
was so hard that it was difficult to
track them. They had good success
with smaller game.

"A Daughter Of the Gods is a big
