FRENCH BEING TAUGHT
INSTEAD OF GERMAN

Huron. 8. D., Nov. 17.-French is
rapidly replacing German in favor in
Huron high school. No first year
German class was organized this year,
as none OF the pupils expressed a desire
to learn the kaiser's language. Second
year German is taught, but the class
is much smaller than in past years.
The German textbook. I'm V%aterland,"
which school officials believed contained
too much German patriotism, has been
abolished from the school.

In 1915, but the legislature OF 1916
passed a law providing for a popular
vote on the liquor question in Novem-
her, 1915. At that election the people
voted by a large majority. that from
and after January /, 1913, spurious
liquors should not be manufactured,
sold, transported or given away any
where within the territory. The proht-
bition law thus to be established by
popular vote probably will be the most
stringent Of any in the United States.

Second Minnesota M forming a depot
brigade of commissioned and non-com-
missioned officers and first class pri-
Yates. Many protests have been made
to the war department and to South
Dakota's representatives in congress.
The protests argue that many of the
men volunteered because they wanted
to remain with the organization in
which their friends and townsmen were.
In addition it is pointed out, people or
the state have pledged financial aid for
the boys during the war and payment
into troop funds is impossible with the
men scattered in several different regt-

Several petitions have been circulated
in Clark county and sent to the war de-

plans) to have the members of h First
