Lively Loan Campaign.

Mitchell.-H. A. Oldham, chairman
of the Liberty loan committee, at the
end Of the first day Of the selling
campaign, announced that practically
the entire state is organized and that
most encouraging and enthusiastic re-
ports indicate that the patriotic citi-
zens of the state are aroused to the
necessity of making the second Lib
erty loan campaign success in South
Dakota. 1t is considered significant
that no especial appeal was made to
farmers at the time of the first Lib
erty loan. Secretary McAdoo, in his
speech at Aberdeen recently, called
attention to the unusual prosperity of
the farmers of the state as evidenced
by the huge sums on deposit in South
Dakota banks this fall. and particul-
arly urged them to take advantage of
the sound investment offered in Lib
erty bonds. He also appealed to their
patriotism and to the necessity Of
backing up their boys fighting for the
continuance of liberty and the worlds
democracy. The quota for the federal
reserve district is $125, 100000. South
Dakota's apportionment is s12,00O,000,
which means that South Dakota sales
must exceed $1,000,0OO per day. The
county apportionments are arbitrary
and were made by the federal reserve
board

Big Drive at Aberdeen.

Aberdeen.-Brown county's Liberty
loan campaign began in full force in
Aberdeen with the blowing of most of
the whistles and the ringing of most
of the bells in Aberdeen, announcing
that tremendous "drive" against the
entrenched cash of the residents of
the county was under way. The cam
paign had been thoroughly laid out by
the county committee. In Aberdeen,
the whistle blowing started when r..
G. Donehower, Milwaukee freight
agent, gave the signal and it lasted
for five minutes. Then the Yankee
Doodle band of the Retail Merchants
association got busy with patriotic
music, and committees assigned to
each ward in the city began to can
vass every business house and office
building. Other committees addressed
the public and parochial schools and
the normal school. Yankee Doodle
sonssters, led by NJ H. Wendell
prominent business man, visited the
business houses and sang patriotic
songs while the solicitors were busy

BOY SWAPS HIS DADS SHIRT
Accepts Proposition of Wild West
Show Employee and Gets Inside
the "Ba Top"

Monta Jessep is the robust son Of
Orin Jessup, president of the Orin Jes-
sup Land company of Upton, and he
is true American lad, says the In
dianapolis News. He knows when a
circus comes to town, and like all other
boys, he will find way to see the
show. That was why he did not miss
wild West exhibition that played
Upton recently. The lad had been
pondering over how he was to get in
side the "big top" and he was not
greatly encouraged until big, black
man-one of the many sons of Ham
with the show-approached him.
"Say, sonny, how big's your dad?"
asked the stranger.
Hes whopper," promptly replied
the youngster, thinking perhaps the
colored man might have some notion
of ordering him roughly from the
grounds.
IF you all III give me one of your
dads shirts I'll take you in all the
shows"
The lad scurried away and soon de.
livered one Of Mr.. Jessup's best shirts
to the colored man, who was as good
as his word and took the lad through
every tented attraction on the grounds.
Later on the young American had 1t
forcibly impressed on him that he could
have gone to the show several times.

MOVEMENT IN STATE MEETS
WITH FAVoR-MANY RE-
SPONp FOR SERVICE.
GOSSIP, OF THE STATE HOUSE
A Review Of the Work Of the State
Government at the Capitol and
at the Various State
Institutions.


The "home guard" movement in
South Dakota has caught the popular
favor of many towns, and the organ
ization has grown rapidly in all Sec
tions of the state, with new organiza-
tions applying for permission to organ
ize practically every day The work
is under the control of the state coun-
Gil of defense, but the commissions
for officers are issued by the COVER.
nor. Adj. Gen. Morris has been asked
to take up the work of state organ
ization of the home guard along the
same lines as of the state troops who
have been called upon for service, and
will likely take up the work soon.
One of the desires of the home
guards is for equipment, but under
present conditions only few rifles
can be obtained, and these will be
scattered proportionately among the
companies already organized. There
are already forty-five organizations
completed, and the number will soon
be up to fifty if the rate of organiza-
ton continues as it has to date.
If these organizations are made into
a complete state organization they will
possibly in the future to certain ex-
stent take the place of the old state
guard. They are not limited as to
age as the guard was, but men up to
fifty are accepted, and with no legal
limitation, some of the enthusiasts are
even older than that. The organiza-
ton will be of the older men of the
state, and not so much of an organiza-
ton Of boys as has been the guard.
