BUILDING SILOS is
FARM PATRIOTISM

Brookings, S. D.-Only three
thousand of eighty thousand
farms in South Dakota are eq-
uipped with silos, which means
that enough corn fodder in this
state is going to waste every
year to feed a million and half
more cows than we have at pre-
sent. According to Prof. C.
Larsen of South Dakota State
college, a half million more cows
would produce hundred mil
lion pounds more butter, one
half million more calves and
enough skim milk to feed these
calves and million more pigs.
The extra amount Of butter OBJ
tained from the wasted fodder
through silos would supply an
army of 100000 men for a Year.
Therefore. ga silo on every
farm" should be the slogan
of every South Dakota farmer
rs an indication of his patrio-
tism.
"The farmer who has a silo
need never worry about a late
corn CROP says Professor Lar
sen. "for if the season is late
or if the frost comes early, he
has plenty of good corn for
the silo. The silo is the farmers
safety valve in crop production.
It certainly is fact that corn
is considerably behind it's normal
Growth this year so that there
is some danger of not getting
matnred crop. 4
"The nse of silos and silage in
South Dakota is not an exneri-
ment for they have been thor
phases. There are manv kinds
o'v tested in all their different
IF silos-but do not delay the
hnilding Of one inst because
there are so many from which
to choose. The main thing is,
build silo.'

ORGANIZATION OF
HOME GUARDS

While we anticipate 30 great
need for their services in loyal
orderly, South Dakota, there
may be some purpose and a de-
sire for organization in the lar
ger places. The plan proposed
is that only able bodied men.
from eighteen Years of age up,
shall be enlisted. and that any
member later enlisted or com
missioned in the Federal service
shall be entitled to an honorable
ddiAsharge.
The organization shall be 81
milar to the South Dakota Ma
tional Guards. When companies
are regularly organized and re-
1orted to the State Council of
Defense, the officers will re-
ceive commissions from the Gov
ernor. The term of enlistment
shall be for the war, and until
peace Is cOIicIuucu.
Those enlisting shall take an
oath to bear true faith and al
legiance, to serve honestly and
faithfully within the State Of
South Dakota, to obey the or
ders of the Governor and the
appointed officers.
There will be no funds to pay
the Guards, unless the legisla-
ture shall later provide for it.
A law has been passed, auth
orizing the distribution of un-
used arms and accounterments
now in the national arsenals.
for use Of the State Guards. Tt
is not known Just how many
can be obtained but the Council
has made application for enough
to equip several companies, and
would like to hear from those
interested as soon as possible.
Before the South Dakota Ma
tional Guard leaves. and while
they may be secured to assist
in drilling, would seem a more
fortunate time to get the
Home Guard started.

HANNIS TAYLOR ARGUES
MILITIA MUST STAY IN u. S.

By an express prohibition of the
Constitution of the United States, no
part of the national militia. now being
drafted, can. for any purpose, be taken
beyond the limits of the United States,
in the opinion of Hannis Taylor, who
has sent to Congress an address which
embod:es his views on this point.
This Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton, he asserts. was so construed by
the Supreme Court of the United States
ninety years ago. Mr.. Taylor points, in
support of his position. to the consti-
be used ito execute the laws of the
Union, suppress instructions and repeI
invasions."
In concluding his argument Mr.. Tay-
lor sums up as follows:
1T clearly appears that the reserved
force of the United States, four times
described in the Constitution as the
militia, can be called forth and or
ganized by Congress, either upon the
volunteer plan or by forcible conscrip-
tion. But it is equally clear that when
so called forth and organized, the
militia can only be used for one of the
three purposes rigidly defined by the
Constitution" as contained in the quo
tation above.
Its application to any other pur-
pose" he continues, notably service
abroad, would be too obviously uncon-
stitutional to justify discussion. The
exemption of the national militia to be
drafted under the act in question from
service abroad is self-eyident and un-
debatable"

GERMANS DETERMINED

There seems ample evidence that the

any length at present in sacrifices of

Along the line held by the French the

ceaseless counter attacks, both IN the

The British on their front have not

found dense masses of Germans oppos-
ing them. Today's British official
statement does not mention any further
fighting in the vicinity of Lens. and

violent counter attacks with heavy

lows:
"The artillery fighting became vio-

600, Provost Marshal General
CroWder Tells Committee.

Plans of the War Department to draft
from SOC, 900 to 1,50O 900 men of the 10,-
o0O0 who it is estimated will register
tomorrow for the new army were dls-
closed today by Provost Marshal General
Crowder to the Senate military affairs
committee. Exemptions. he said. prob
ably would result in reducing the num-
Der to 625. 900 men for immediate service
Gen. Crowder told the committee that
the departments plans have been re-
vised, and that it is now proposed TO
require 625,000 men from those regis
tered To secure this number, he said,
it probably will be necessary to draft
at least 100000 and possibly 100000
because of expected exemptions.
Explains the Revised Plans.
Explaining the revised plans to take
625, 900 men from the registration. in
stead of a half million. Gen. Crowder
stated that the extra 125,OOO Will be
needed to fill up vacancies in the army
of a half million to be put in service
Gus operation. When the original
plans for service from a half million
men were made. he said. the depart
ment had not planned to send American
forces abroad so soon. Casualties from
foreign service, he believed, sickness,
etc, make necessary a reserve of 125,-
900 men, in addition to the duty at train
ing camps
Details of making exemptions also
were explained to the committee by the
provost general. He said the govern
ment does not contemplate any class
exemptions, but that they will be per-
sona1. Therefore, he opposed an amend
ment proposed by Senator Reed to the
national defense act, which the com
mittee is considering, proposing that
proportion of registration instead OF
population be the standard of the draft:
That the men drafted probably will
be in training camps by September 1
was stated by Gen. Crowder. who said,
however, he favored beginning selec-
tions within two weeks. SO that exemp-
ton work may be expedited and notifi-
cations of final selection may be made
as soon thereafter as possible, that the
men finally called may have ample time
to arrange their affairs before joining
their regiments.
