Of New York troops was the lowest

A Chance to Get a Government Farm

years is required and to all bona fide
settlers the reclamation service will

at actual cost without interest on de
ferred payments covering 20 years.

THE NATIONS GREAT GAMBLING DEN.

The congressional committee has established the fact that there
was a leak"
1t left Washington in the guise of a dispatch or a message from a
man who is a business partner of the presidents brotherln-aw.
Never mind how the leak got started or who started tit is
enough to know that it started and that the gamblers on the inside
reaped immense profits and that the gamblers on the "outslde" were
left to hold the bag.
1t isn't the gambler that we are seeking to protect-heU shift
for himself! Not many of him is inclined to "squeal" anyway! It's
the public were thinking about.
If anybody, anywhere, any time, any place, any way, can give
a reasonable excuse from the standpoint of the people for the exist
ence of this national den Of thieves, we'd be glad to have him do so.
The front page of The Saturday News is at his command for the
purpose.
Why not stop the whole miserable mess? Why not make it i'm
possible for the artstocratic gamblers of Wall Street so to plug
the wheel of fortune as to cause it to stop at a given number?
The country, after a long fight and a hard fight, put the notorious
Louisiana Lottery out of business some years ago, and thus upheld the
national dignity.
The Louisiana Lottery was a mere pratte compared with the
stock-jobbing, wheel-pluggng, evl-smellng, cutthroat, sklnHlnt
game played by the manipulators of the stock markets.

Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1917-02-08

We have been asked whether, in the event of war between the
United States and Germany, there is likelihood of our troops crossing
tho Atlantic to ioin the allies in a announcement against the Ger
mans. ####
We don't know-but the chances are decidedly against anything
of the sort. 1t would take the United States at least a year to enlist
and SOUP and drill an army that could hope to cope successfully with
an equal number of the foe. 1t is doubtful whether 1t could be done
within a year.
Hence, the probability is that should war eventuate the financial
resources of the United States and the navy which 1t could spare
would be placed, within restrictions, at the disposal OF the entente
allies, or, at least, in cooperation with them.
There is scarcely one chance i'll a thousand, as we view It, that
Uncle Sam will have infantry engaged in the conflict.

DISARMAMENT AFTER THE WAR.

There is but one method by which lasting peace may be assured
at the conclusion of the present awful war. That is by and through
disarmament.
So long as nations prepare for war, armed to the teeth, war they
will have.
1t has been so since the dawn of civilization. 1t will be so until
the end of time-or until human nature shall have undergone a
marked change.
When we talk about peace, therefore, we should reflect that the
only lasting peace is that which has no armament to maintain it.

STICKS" IN THE SOFT DRINKS.

The legislative committee having in charge the ~prohibitory bill
has had its attention called to the need of providing for the eimin-
alton Of the s.stcks' which are sometimes used to stimulate the taste
of certain soda waters
1t may not be out of place to observe that the fame of a certain
Jim river drug store has been waited Ger the hills to The Saturday

1T appears that a small percentage of alcohol is to be found in

1t is furthermore said to be the custom Of the house under con

ready at all times.
Young school girls, according to report, have sometimes been
known to have a tendency to reel as they departed from the estab-
hshment after a few rounds Of these delicious drinks had been
served.
That's one of the things that needs legislative attention. "Soft

The Sioux City Tribune, which is nothing if not sensational,
seems to critcise Congressman Royal G. johnson for his refusal to
support the public buildings bill at Washington, Notwithstanding it
contains an item of about sixty thousand dollars for improvements
in the federal building at A Aberdeen.
Congressman johnson says the bill is full of spork, :" and that
pork is the motive behind it-nothing but pork, :" taking the bills
as q whole.
The trouble with too many congressman and senator's has been
that pork held up before their eyes has caused them to grab at it
in the hope of bringing home the bacon"
So far as a public building is concerned, for the purpose of hous
ing = postoffce and a few members of the federal court, it doesn't
matter much whether Aberdeen gets the appropriation or whether
it doesnt.

FOREST REGIMENT BE ENLISTED
Woodsmen, Loggers, Millhands and
Transfers Wanted for Early Service.

I During the next two weeks the For
est Service, through its local officers,
will attempt to complete the recruiting
of the forest regiment (Tenth Engineers
National Army, which it is expected
will see early service in France. Teams
! tiers, millhands, loggers and lumber
jacks are wanted for this organization.
/ First hand, practical experience is a
necessary qualification Men desiring
to enlist in this regiment should apply
Immediately to the nearest Forest Sup
ervisor.
The duty of the regiment will be to
convert available timber behind the bat
tie lines in France into railroad ties,
trench timbers, mine props, bridge TIM
bers, lumber, and cordwOod needed in
the military operations of the British
Army. The work may, it is stated, fall
within the danger zone and will be
done largely in sprout forests of oak,
beech, hornbeam, and other hardwoods,
with some stands of pine.
The regiment will be made up of six
companies of 1874 men each, aside from
battalion and regimental staffs, drivers,
and commissioned officers. 1t will be
sent overseas as soon as organized,
trained and equipped. 1t will first be
assembled at two training camps, the re-
gimental headqua tiers and one battalion
at the American University, Washing
ton, ID. c., and one battalion at FIT.
Leav enworth, Kansas.
Enlistment is for the period of the
war. Recruits must be between the
ages of Is and 40 and must be citizens
of the United States or have declared
their intention to become such. They
are subject to the same physical exami-
nation as that required for other mill
tary service.
While designed to serve primarily as
mobile logging and milling crew, the
regiment will be organized on military
lines and its members will be uniformed
and armed like other units in the United
States Army. The first duty of its Off
GERS and men will be to learn military
discipline and teamwork through
thorough going drill at training camps.
For the logging crews skilled exmen
tie hewers, skidders, teamsters,
and blacksmiths are being enlisted. Mill
wrlghts, sawyers, and engineers are to
man portable sawmills which will form
part of the equipment, while suitable
helpers for the various activities con
nected with woods operations and the
maintenance of large camps will be
picked up.
Transfers especially are expected
from this section. Those interested will
apply to the local Forest Supervision at
the Forestry Office in Grangeville. The
time given for enlistment is short last
ing until the Goth of this month. The
prompt recruiting of this regiment will,
it is expected, enable it to be among the
first to carry the flag of the United
States abroad
