CONFIRM SEVEN PosTMAsTERs

Nominations Which had Been Held up
Two Months on a Tecnicality, Pass
Seven Delaware postmasters, whose
nominations had been held up for two
months, because of objection made by
Senator Wolcott, were confirmed by
the Senate at Washington Friday af-
ternoen after 40 minutes considera-
tion. They are chiefly reappoint-
ments, the incumhents being named
by Senator Salisbury. The appoint
ments follow: New Castle, John P.
Murphy; Seaford, Orlando W. Short
Laurel, E. Pierce Ellis; Middletown,
William Brockson; Millsboro, Elijah
E. Carey; Milfod, William H. Robin
son; Milton, John B. Mustard. On
motion of Senator Salisbury, Presi-
dent Wilson was notified of the Sen
ate's action. Senator Wolcott OBJ.
jected to confirming the postmasters
on the ground that he did not believe
it was IN accordance with the rule
laid down by the President in the
executive order which took these
postoffices into the civil service. Sen
tor Wolcott contended the offices be-
came vacant upon the expiration o.
the terms of the different postmasters
and should not be classed as being
held by the incumbent. The decision

DON'T ISSUE A CHECK UNLESS
YOU HAVE FUNDS IN BANE

1t has always been considered bad
form to issue a check against bank ac-
count which does not exist and in the
past the authorities have generally found
a way to deal with those INDUCED in
this pastime, but it has been necessary
to 90 about the punishment in a round
about way generally by arresting them
on charge Of obtaining money on false
| pretenses.
The recent legislature of South Dakota
took cognizance Of this condition and
passed a specific enactment to deal with
cases Of this kind. Under the new act
it is not necessary to prove any false rep
resentation, as the act makes the issuing
of check, draft or order a misdemeanor,
when there are no funds in bank to the
drawers credit, to fully cover the amount
of such check, draft or order. The act
reads as follows
amy person who shall issue any
check, draft or order for the payment of
money upon any bank or other deposit
tory the maker or drawer of which said
check, draft or order shall not have with
such bank or depository sufficient funds
for the payment of such check, draft or
order, in full upon its presentation, and
payment of which said check, draft or
order shall be refused by such bank or
depository, and who shall upon being
informed that payment of such check,
draft or order has been refused, fail to
pay the full amount thereof, to the
holder. shall be guilty of =. misde-
meanor"
The penalty for misdemeanor is 30
days in Jail or fine of not more than
500, or both.

CUSTER CITY SOUTH DAKOTA SATURDAY MAY 10,
THREE YEARS OF HIGH
PRICES FOR LIVE STOCK

Raise more live stock there will be
high prices for at least three years to
come this is an emergency message to
farmers and stock growers from q. How
ard Dawson, president of the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition and chair
man of the executive committee of the
National Agricultural Society.
Says Mr.. Dawson: "In my judgment
there will be a scarcity of nearly all
kinds of live stock for some time to come
and farmers and stockmen should make
their plans accordingly. This means
that there should be no selling of young
animals or female breeding stock merely
because current prices are high. Better
none? can be made by working on the
understanding that high prices for hogs,
cattle, sheep and other live stock will
rule for at least three or four years to
come"
There is no doubling this in view of
the knowledge that Europe has lost over
30 per cent. of its live stock-that the
whole world in fact is suffering from
serious shortage in all kinds of food
animals.
There is so much concern over pos
sible wheat or potato shortage that the
public is forgetting the meat situation
AS matter of fact, if every effort were
made to increase the country's supply of
cattle, it would be at least three years
before solid results would be apparent.
AS regards sheep, it would require at
least two years to make any consider
able increase in numbers, even though
every eve were held back for breeding
purposes"
The best possible program for the
farmer from the standpoint of either
patriotism or profit is to raise more live
stock and to work on three or four
year program, at least"

M EMORIAL DAY.

Again the time has come for us to
honor our soldiers, living and dead, who
so nobly gave their lives and the best
part OF their lives to make our country
what it is.
We are now in crisis which demands
that we not only show our patriotism
but also that we appreciate the hard
struggles the soldiers passed through
heretofore. Only once each year are we
called upon to do this and it is our duty
to respond in the most appropriate way
because in few short years we will not
have any of those with us who struggled
through the years 1860 TO 1865 Then
let everyone turn out and show their
patriotism and appreciation for the hard
ships the soldiers passed through in our
former wars.
The following is the program that will
be given on Wednesday, May 3Oth:
PRoGRAM,-MoRNISG

state and national banks The state
banks show deposits Of 500, ,S39 600, and
the national banks make a showing of

numbers. 1t is possible that the de-
mands for spring cropping will show a
slight reduction in this figure on the
next call, but the advance has been a
steady one in this state for years, and
will continue under ordinary conditions.
