INVASION TAXES
 MANY RESOURCES
 AWAY FROM FRANCE
TRerublIcan A. p. Leased Wire1


 PARIS, Ian. T.-France was de- prived of fifty per cent of her re- sources in coal. 90 per cent of her iron ore, and, 80 per cent of her iron and steel manufacturing establish ments by the German invasion. At the same time, the developments of the war multiplied her needs of pre- cisely the things which those re- sources supplied. Official figures just furnished to the Associated Press show how, crippled as she was. France metamorphosed her remaining industries and improvised new ones so as to utilize to the maximum her remaining resources, not only supply ing her own army, but handing ove, nearly a quarter of her output in arms and munitions to her allies.
 France has supplied to the Belgians, Russians, Italians. Siberians and Ru- manians great quantities Of such arms and munitions as she has manufac- turcd herself and has abandoned to her allies a considerable portion oI what she has bought abroad
 The sessions of war supplies France has made to her allies are not regarded as sacrifices an officer of the general staff says. We simply delegate thus a part of our energies to those who are in a situation to em- ploy them to the best advantage"

johnson, the Agency carpenter, are
the first victims of the epidemic OF
measles that broke out in Fort
Yates two weeks ago.
Odelia, aged 8 years, and oldest
child Of Mr.. and Mrs. johnson died
Friday night. The girl was con-
valescing from measles when she
contracted pneumonia which was
the direct cause of death. Ruby,
aged 4 years. died Monday morn
ing, from the same cause. Both
were buried in the Mission cemetery,
the funeral of Odelia having been
held Saturday, and Ruby was buried
Monday afternoon.
Three other children III the John
son family are also down with
measles. but their condition is sat-
isfactory, and no other serious cases
have been reported. Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson have the sincere sympathy
Of the entire community on the oc-
casion OF their bereavement.

records of the newly created Grant
county at 50 cents per instrument.
There are nearly 40, 900 instruments
to be transcribed. 1t cost Sioux
county so cents per instrument to
have it's records transcribed, but the
lob was a small one in comparison,
there having been only about 1000
instruments on record affecting this

Hold Special Election
To Vote On Co. Seat
Special Election in the Spring to Vote
Removal of County Seat from Fort
{. Yatea is Now Proposed

1t is reported on good authority
that petitions will soon be prepared
and circulated among the voters OF
the county calling for a special
election to be held this spring on
the question Of county seat removal
from Fort Yates to Selfridge.
At the October meeting of the
board of county commissioners, a
petition praying that the question
of changing" the county seat of
Sioux county from Fort Yates to
Selfridge be submitted to the voters
at the general election, was present.
ed. On advise of the states at
torney the petition was rejected.
States Attorney johnson held in
his opinion to the county commits
sioners that Fort Yates is to all
intents and purposes the permanent
county seat of Sioux county. That an
election to change the county seat,
would be a question OF removal, and
would require a two-third vote.
Also that the term change" did
not come within the definition of
the statute providing the method for
county seat relocation or removal.
1t was expected that the parties
who favored changing" the county
seat would have taken the mstter
into court, and a decision would
then have been handed down as to
or not Fort Yates is the
permanent county seat. But no
action was taken and therefor the
special election is proposed.
This question will have to be set
tied sometime. And while it will
entail a large expense to hold a
special election, yet if that is the
wish of the taxpayers, it should be
held. So far as the citizens and
supporters of Fort Yates are CON-
crnsd they are read to nest thefe'

Molash Has Profitable
Herd OF Dairy Cows
James Molash Enjoys Regular and Sub.
stantial Income From IL Cows.-
Fort Yates Good Market

From a herd of II COWS, James
Alolash, who lives about three
miles southwest OF Fort Yates, sold
during the past year s6O3. 20 worth
of butter.
Besides they had butter, cream
and milk for their own use for d
family of II. The income from
butter was also supplemented by
selling a good many dollars worth
of milk.
Mrs. Molash has kept a strict ac-
count Of the receipts from butter
sold during the past year, but no
accurate record was kept Of the
milk sales. Most Of the milk, how
ever, was fed to calves and pigs,
and consequently cut down the feed
bill for the pigs.
The increase from the COWS with
calves worth about s25 will make
the income from the herd about
$500 more at least. This is quite
income as side issue,
as Mr.. Molash farms considerable
portion of his 800 acre farm and
has been rewarded with good crop
returns during the two years he has
had his land under cultivation. He
has well improved place with
buildings and is on the
upper crest OF the wave Of prosper.

Quarantine Regulation
Necessary Precaution
Strict Quarantine Necessary to Stamp
Out Measles Epidemic, and Every
body Should Cooperate

| Owing to the prevalence of :
number of cases of measles among
the children Of Fort Yates, Superin.
tendent Covey, in charge Of the
Standing Rock Agency, has issued
a circular to the public in an at.
tempt to. confine the spread of the
contagion and stamp out the dis
case at the earliest possible moment.
The fact that two deaths have al
ready occurred, brings out the GER
iousness Of the epidemic, and every
resident OF the community should
cooperate to observe the required
quarantine regulations. The cir
cular follows in part:
To All Residents of Fort Yates:
Your attention is called to the
fact that number of cases of meas
els exist at this Agency and that a
quarantine has been established.
/ am sure that if the people fully
understood the serious nature of
measles and the fact that it is one
Of the most contagious diseases
known that they would enter more
heartily in the spirit of observing
this quarantine. 1t will do no good
for us to establish quarantine if
people are going to go out from
where the disease exists or are go
ing to assemble together in large
gatherings. The period of incuba-
tion for measels is placed by some
authorities as high as Is days
Since the period of this disease at
which it can be most easily COM
municated is just prior to the ap-
pearance Of the rash it almost in
varibly happens that persons are
exposed without being aware of the
fact 1t is also held by some au-
thorities that the disease may be
carried by persons not themselves
effected but by just being in con-
tact with someone who has.
Reverting back to the mortality
Of measles will state that in one
Of the Indian schools a few years
ago, there was a large number of
cases of measles, and that 10 per
cent of the children effected died.
Everyone, therefore, is urged to
cooperate with us in this matter.
and children should he hept at
home and not allowed to appear on
the streets or go to other houses or
the stores, churches, parties or any
other place until it is known pos
itively, that this epidemic is under
control. I feel that all persons full
ly realizing the Importance and SER
iousness of this situation will CO.
operate with US to the fullest extent
the necessity of arbitrary
being taken to enforce
this quarantine.
Very respectfully,
Claude G. Covey.
Superintendent.

Independents Control
Majority State Senate
Failure TO Control State Senate May
Block the Non-Par,i.an Legislative
Program this Session

! Reports from the Legislative As.
sembly which convened at Bismarck
last week is that the Non-Partisans
are in complete control of the House
while the Senate is Independent
The Non-Partisians hoped for a
working majority in both houses,
and expected that their members
would head the important Senate
committees.
1t appears, however. that Lieut..
Governor Kraabe], presiding Of
fcer Of the Senate i; net so firmly
lined up with the League organiza-
tion as its leaders believed. In order
to carry out their program the Nom
Partisans plan to call for consti-
tutional revision. Under the old
method it requires four years to
amend the constitution.
The Non-Partisan leaders pro-
pose speedier method by passing a
law under which the members of
the Legislative Assembly will sit as
a constitutional convention. After
the new constitution has been franz
cd it will be submitted to the vot-
ers for adoption or rejection. III
adopted special session of the leg
islature will be called, and radical
laws and measurers that the Nom
Partisan platform calls for enacted
hereunder.
This bill will be introduced IN
the House and passed in short
order. When it reaches the Senate
the real test of strength will come,
and developments will be watched
with interest throughout thestate.sI
In the make up of the House
committees Representative Carignan

tionment committees, all of which
are important. In the Senate H. |
