The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1917-01-27

For long time those who urged
military preparation asserted that it
was in the interest of peace. that
large army and navy were an insurance
against war and that the vast ex
penditures for military purposes We're
like business men spending money for
insurance.
There was one country that could
have demonstrated that theory in 1914
If 1t were really SO. Germany, with the
mightiest armed force in Europe, could
have said. There shall be no war;"
and proved that great military prep
aration meant peace. Unfortunately
that did not occur and no one adyoeat-
ing military preparation now is SO
silly as to claim that such preparation
means peace. The demand for prepar-
edness now is based upon the assump-
ton that when the war In Europe
ends the United States will be in i'm

THIRTY HORSES LOST
WHEN BARN BURNS

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 1s.-Fire,
which points clearly to incendiar-
ism, destroyed the large barn = on
the David Moug farm, seven miles
northwest of Page, Cass county, this
morning, cremating thirty head OF
horses.
According to Information placed
with the states attorneys Office, the
fire started about 9 o'clock this
morning in a bunch of twine placed
in one quarter Of the barn.
With the loft filed with hay and
the fire getting a good start in the
twine, the barn was soon burned to
the ground. All the harnesses were
destroyed, besides grain, hay and
other paraphernalia.
Early in the summer, several Ia
borers who are believed to have
been I. w. w.. were discharged.
and they are suspected of the crime
The matter will be brought to the
attention of the state fire marshal.
The twine was placed in a corner
of the barn which is seldom visited
by anyone. but which was evidently
known by some one who sought the
destruction of. the barn.

and those who are familiar with
this musical organization know that
nothing better can be secured in the
line of music. The floor in the
Wiper, building has just been laid,
and will be smoothed down before
the dance takes place so as to be in
the best condition possible. We
have been asked 70 especially call
the attention Of the public to the
floor committee which will be on the
alert at all times to look after the
wants of the, soldier boys and
strangers. The hall will be large
enough to accommodate very large
number Of people, and there are
bound to be many who are not ac-
quainted here. For their benefit
a large floor committee has been ap-
pointed, and this committee will see
to it that everyone is properly look
ed after. A big time is assrued to
all who come.
This is the first dance to be given
in Bowbells under the auspices of
the Red Cross and it behooves the
people in both the city and sur
rounding towns to do their best to
make it the biggest success Of any
dance ever given here. This will
be theg last night to be spent in
Bowbells. by the soldier boys for
some time, and we should make it
q night of pleasure to- them, and
one that they will remember for
years to come. The hall will be
decorated for the occasion, and
those who come will find all, and
even more than they expect. Re-
member everyone is invited, and re-
'quested to be present. There will
be room for everyone.

LIKED THE WAY BOW.
BELLS ENTERTAINED

Powers Lake Echo: The pa.
triotic rally at Bowbells Monday
clearly demonstrated that when it
comes to entertaining a crowd and
carrying out a fixed program the
people of the live city that rests in
the shade Of the court house of
the state of North Dakota. In ev-
cry public enterprise the men Of
Bowbells forget personal differ
ences, if they have any, and work
as a unit for the success of that par
ticular thing, and they are ably
seconded h-- the ladies of that city.
So it was on Monday when thou
sands gathered there to voice en-
couragement and cheer the boys
who are leaving or soon to leave for
the army. The men of Bowbel,s
did their part in a manner to win
praise from all who attended. Ev-
cry detail of the prugram was care
fully provided for, and it required
an immense amount of labor to do
that. The county and city officials
labored from morning till night
without rest and they were ably as
sisted by citizens. The music, the
marching of the soldiers, the ban
quet, the patriotic singing and
speaking. everything passed off
without a hitch, for that is the Bow
bells way. The ladies did not
make as much noise about their
part as did the men, but the ban
quet they served to the soldier boys
and others who were hungry will be
ing at the big rally will be forgotten.
