coLoRED MEN AND WOMEN
WANTED!

If you have a common education,
lots of ambition and energy; and if
you are real anxious to go in business
for yourself where your income will
not be limited l would like to talk
with you. Common labor is absolute
ly honest but too many of our men
and women who are qualified to make
more money in business are satisfied
doing manual labor. Lots of people
are making from $50 to $50 per month
selling insurance as a side line.

The city of Joplin. after three years
of commission government, had so
much money in it's treasury that the
commissioners voted to subscribe for
$4,000 worth of the Liberty Loan
bonds. The police department appro-
priated $4,000 from its relief fund and
the fire department $4,000 from it's re-
lief fund for a similar purchase. Each
of the funds was created under COM
mission rule. When the commission
ers took charge three years ago there
was only a little more than 5000 in
the general fund, from which all ex-
penses Of a general nature are paid.

OFFICIALS DECLINE
 SALARY INCREASES
". B. Rossberg and Dr. Reeks
 State Their Position

If Mayor Quigley sees it to vote certain salary increases he certainly ought to turn back the $500 salary increase recenely granted him by the
 council. in thes opinion of Councilman "A. F. Eichstaedt of the salary com
 mittss. This committee met last night to consider several salary an- creasee shat were sought at tho coun-
 ell meetings and referred back.
 Tho first item considered was the
 petition from Alderman NcCabe and Alderman stadler to increase the sal-
 ary of w. B. Rossbsrg, chairman of
 the water board. from $1.oo0 to $1.20o
 per year. Mr. Rossberg was present
 by invitation and told of the work
 which their position entails. As ono illustration he said that on Monday he
 went to work for the cty at 6:46 a. na.
 and worked until 6:3O D. m. and then
 returned In tho evening to see that the night watchmen were on their jobs If the position was worth $1,- 900 ten years ago 1t certainly is worth more now, the chairman said. In conclusion, MT. Rossberg said he ap- preciated tho action of the council lla recommending an increase in his sal- sary because 1t showed their apprecia- ton of his work. He said, however, that In view of existing conditions he would not accept any such raise were 1t granted to hina. eff I am chair- man of the watAr board later whel. conditions are different. and the coun- ell feels inclined to increase my salary. will gladly accept 1t, but at pres ent must decline" MT. Ros9berg said.
 When the petition from Councilmen w. c. Wall. V. B. Chamberlain and T. c. Andrews was presented asking that the salary of Dr. T. E. Reeks su- perintendent of health be increased from $2,50O to $8.6OO 8 note was read from the doctor. In it Dr. Reeks stated his appreciation of the kindly motives which prompted such action. but he asked that the committee vote the increase down, principally because he feels that this h an inopportune time to grant increases and also be- cause he believes all such applications should come from the board on which the individual is employed.
 Other petitions were also read, one to increase the salary of City Comp troller H. L. Curtis from $1,ooo to $1.2OO and the other to increase the salary of the city clerk. A. L. Thomp- son, from 2.200 to $2.500. beginning April 1. Councilmen Dehm. Peterson and Weld were Of the opinion that these petitions should be given leave to withdraw and Councilman Mo Donough thought the best way would be to table them. thus making 1t pos sible to bring them up at some future time. It was at this juncture that Eichstaedt took his shot at Mayor Qulsley for accepting an in- crease Tn sAlary. Ns finaiiy:voted to give the petitions leave to with draw. a.y < x 5gs 4.s. sg-N sr..4s.

1First Cavalry Remnant Training
Raw Recruits How to Be Soldiers

Z
South Dakota has sent two regi-
ments to military training quarters
since America became involved in the
ofkcial Representation whatever in the
war. According to common report,
both regiments have been dissolved
or merged into other organizations.
This is a matter of deep regret on
the part of the people OF the state,
inasmuch as they hoped to have at
least one regiment intact in the
struggle.
TO Remain Intact
Parenthetically it may be added
that when the South Dakota boys en-
listed as a cavalry regiment there
was general agreement in the opinion
that their organizations would remain
throughout the war. That was one of
the considerations which was pre-
sented to many Of the boys in the
various localities where companies
were raised.
1t appears, however. that after arriv-
ing at Camp Cody the cavalry was
scattered, the greater part Of item-
bracing almost thousand of the en-
listed men going to Minnesota
regiment which had but comparatively
few members few Of the others
are reported to have been transferred
1 to various places, and the remaining
number were converted into depot
brigade, or training batta1ions.

ing, and which may or may not be ac-

but from the broad standpoint of the
inexperienced in military aairs lis be
lieyed to be slbstantia ially correct,
places the situation about as follows:
