The farmers of America can dOu-
BILE their crops this year; they can
grow ten times as much food next
year as they ever grew in any year
before, and they don't need any adj
vice to do this; they need a fair DEAL
It is up to the United States gov
eminent whether the years crops
shall be large or small, and it is up
to the same government to say if
next years crops shall be enough to
feed not only the people Of this
country, but all the allies.
This is what the government must
10 to get all this fOOdstuff:
Take over the distribution system.
Take over the packing plants, can
neries, flour mills, warehouses, ele-
gators and storage plants.
Take over the idle land held by
specializing land holders and distTib-
ute it among the hundreds Of thou
sands of farmers who will make this
land productive.
Loan the farmers money with
which to make this land productive
Loan the farmers money with
which to buy seed, equipment and
labOr.
If the government takes over the
food distribution system, warehOus-
ing channels, and sets the prices, it
will end gambling in foods.
It should set a retail price, which
the city retailer would have to
charge. This price would permit the
retailer a fair margin of profit; it
would give the farmer an amount

WHO ARE LIES vICTORS9

Speak, history! who are life's victors?
Unroll thy long annals and say,
Are they those whom the world called the ~victors,
Who won the success of a day?
The martyrs, or Nero? The spartans.
Who fell at Thermopylae's tryst,
Or the Persians and Xerxes? His Judges.
Or Socrates, PLATE, or Christ?

Heat Wave Tops 100 Mark
Record Claimed at Pierre

With the thermometer at 10S, and a
hot wind blowing from the south last
Friday, South Dakota sweltered and
wondered what was coming. Many
thought that all records for heat had
been shattered, others told of the
long ago, and others hunted base
ments to dodge the overdone southern
sunny breeze.
D. H. Smith arrived home from a
trip to Pierre on the six o'clock train,
and reported the government thermo-
meter at Pierre shot up to 100, which
was the highest mark in the state
since the summer of 1879, thirty-eight
years ago. Mr.. Smith got this in
formation from an official who stated
that this 1879 date was found in the
records of old TT. Sully on the Miss
ouri river above Pierre, which was
abandoned by the government when
the state began to settle up in the
early eighties.
AS soon as the sun went down the
atmosphere began to cool off, and life
was more desirable for many people
coming to town in their autos. But
the weather mar thought we needed
another illustration of what a certain
place often mentioned in biblical his
tory was like, so another hot one
came back Sunday, minus the hot
south wind. Steady close heat pre-
vailed around a hundred until about
six o'clock in the evening, when a
stiff gale from the north spread its
cooling mantle over the prairies and
the hot wave was broken. Monday
was cloudy all day, about noon rain
began falling-and folks went to work
with a smile of relief.
Reports in daily papers of Sunday
and Monday show the hot wave was
extensive over the west, and many
North Dakota and Montana records
above 100.

Wolf Bounty Fund Short

The total at this time has gone to
twenty-one thousand dollars, with but
thirteen thousand dollars TO meet it
with. In past years heavy claims
have been filed the last week in July.
and If the same rule applies this year
the apportionment will go below the
sixty cent mark.

The Old Toll Roads

Good roads were first maintain
ed in the east and especially in
Pennsylvania by means Of the toll
roads, which were separated from
the regular roads by means of
tollgates, or stations.
To travel on these improved
highways a charge was made for
all sorts Of conveyances. With
the coming Of the motorcar the
fee for machines was made so
high that in a few years hundreds
OF miles Of good roads were built
and maintained in excellent con
dition.
There are a few of these roads
still in existence where a toll is
charged in the Maryland, Del,
aware and Pennsylvania section.
Most Of these, however, have been
eliminated on account of the state
highway appropriation, and it is
expected with the new federal ap'
preparation Of $50, 600 1000 these
tollgates will be a relic Of the past.

The utmost test Of our human

port of the work which the Fed
Cross must do. True democracy
will justify itself by sparing no
effort, and by stintlng no gift,
which may save life or lessen
the suffering of any of those
who are making the supreme
sacrifice of faith and love for all
mankind.
War means MANNED and wound
ed men, piteous torn and broken
men, in numbers often larger
than the slain. Our boys with
Pershing, and the thousands
more to follow, will not be
spared. Are we going to wait
until they return and force US
to relize the horrors the wound
ed endured? If we do, we shall
fail to see many of them who
will perish from the want of the
care we might provide when
their wounds are fresh. We
shall mock humanity if we me-
glect to perform every act and
supply every comfort which can
save a soldiers life or render it
bearable. America, with all it's
wealth and kindness, must go
