THE WAR

The startling war news Of the past
week was the appearance Of Ameri.
can troops on the French battle front;
the big Austro- German drive against
the Italians, In which the latter were
pushed back unto their own soil with
loss of over 10000 men and up
wards Of 200 guns.
Quiet on the Russian front, but the
French and British continue TO pound
the Germans on the western front
and make substantial gains.

AN IMPORTANT OCCASION.

In one year. in revolutionary days,
there were eight Thanksgiving days.
That was in the stress of war. In
.1777 Washington proclaimed a
Thanksgiving day to be observed De-
cember IS. The November date was
named in 1879, but only observed
for a short time. In days of peace
and prosperity the nation gradually
forgot. But when again the stress
Of war was felt in 1912 the people
began to think of their need of divine
help, so In 1915 there was again de-
clared a Thanksgiving day, but as be-
fore this too with years of prosperity,
faded from the minds of the people
until the time of the civil wal when
a lady wrote President Lincoln sug-
costing a day of thanksgiving. The
president proclaimed August 6 as a
day of Thanksgiving for the victory
of Gettysburg. and or the same year.
1865. proclaimed again the Novem-
Der Thanksgiving day, which has
now become a fixed festival.
With recent years. however, it has
been more a day Of feasting and
sports than q day OF thanksgiving.
Few people have needed the request

war TAX BOOK
CONFUSION MORE CONFUSED is
IMPRESSION 1T GIVES
DOES NOT EXPLAIN.

Copies of the new books intended
to acquaint the ordinary business
man with his liability under the new
war tax and income measures, men
toned in an article last week In The
Daily Leader in connection with the
intricacies of the law, are in the
hands Of some of the Madison bust
ness men. The opinion expressed by
a business man that a newspaper
would be performing a great service
to the community by making a digest
Of this law, giving a short and con-
else explanation, capable of being
read and understood In a few min
utes. was we'll taken. These books
need still further calculation. In
the case of the Merchants association
alone, their liability cannot be de-
cided by a study of the book. One
man may decide by its authority that
they are liable as other lodges and
clubs where dues amount to more
than S12, and another a prove by
it's authority that that corporation is
not liable. It's going to give great
opportunities to the federal courts,

STATE NEWS.

Mitchell-Sievert Strand, a farm
hand working neal here, is In a crit
ical condition as the result of getting
a sand burr in his throat while husk-

Alexandria-John Holck is one of

coal bills. He has just sold one of
his farms for Sis an acre, and the
day previous to making this transac-
ton marketed 80 head of April pigs
for which he received the aggregate
sum Of $2.316.
Yankton-Mrs. George Davis, of

Colton-A. j. Erickson and Gar
land Ellis have returned from a big
game hunt in the wilds of northern
Minnesota. One of their experiences
was to become lost, and for a period
of "a hours they did not know where
they were and spent most of the time
listening to the chorus of wild ami
mails about them and expecting mo-
mentarily to be attacked by the
fiercer animals. They finally sue

tie settlement. During their hunting
trip they failed to find any moose be-
cause the nov was SO hard that it
was difficult to track them. They
had good success with smaller game.

of the president to attend public
services on that day. Now we are
again in a state of war, is it not fit
ting that all should turn their minds
to the religious side of this day to
ask divine help in this time of ex-
tremity? The union services at the
Methodist Episcopal church in the
evening at 1880 will afford an op-
portunity for all who desire to meet
to worship God, to give thanks for
the harvest and to seek his aid for
our country at this time. This is a
patriotic duty that should not be neg
lected. A splendid program of music
is being prepared by Prof. Tolles,
and Rev. L. l.. Mann will deliver the
sermon.-Rev. G. McKibbin.

A BACHELOR EATS AT THE in
SIDE INN.


A bachelor one Thanksgiving morn
ing,
While on his way to church,
Was thinking as how the good Of life
Had left him in the lurch,
And how there was no Thanksgiving
dinner
Awaiting him anywhere;
He happened to think of the Inside
Inn,
Why couldn't he eat there?
And so sure enough right after
church
He went in there to dine.
There was turkey and goose and
cranberries,
Everything vas fine;
There was dressing and squash and
pumpkin pies.
Like his mother made In the long
ago,
And tears were in his eyes,
1t wasn't such a bad world after all,
And he could well afford
To get down on his knees Thanks
giving day.
And meekly thank the Lord
For what IL he was a lone bachelor
With neither kith or kin,
There was one great blessing that
covered all,
To eat at the Inside Inn.

STATE TEACHERS
NEXT ANNUAL CONVENTION TO
BE HELD AT MITCHELL.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 28.-Mitchell
was chosen as the meeting place for
the South Dakota Educational asso-
citation meeting in 1918. There was
not much competition in this fight,
as 1t was generally conceded from the
first that Mitchell would win out.
Representatives of that city have
been busy i'm Sioux Falls the past two
days, mingling among the teachers
and offering many reasons why the
association should meet there, the
principal one being a fine musical at
traction. AS a special musical at
traction they offered Miss Anna Case,
a member of the Metropolitan Opera
celebrated sopranos.
DR.. III. M. Gage, president of HUI
ron college, won out in a contest by
a big majority for president of the
association over Edmund Steele, of
Howard, county superintendent of
Miner county. Both men r we'll
known educators in the state and
their friends were almost equally di-
vided. The vote closed at / o'clock,
balloting taking place during the
morning sessions of the departmental
meetings. The officers are as fol-
lows:
President, III. M. Gage, Huron.
Recording secretary, Mrs. Olive M.

TEACHER SAVES PRPILS
SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOLMA'AM
PILOTS WARDS CAUGHT In
FIRE TO SAFETY.

Aberdeen, Nov. 28.-Edna Reide-
man, ~20-year-old daughter of G.. w.
Reideman, of Mcintosh, may not get
a Carnegie medal, but eight children
are alive and unscorched because of
her pluck and GOODNESS. Edna's
school, IA miles southeast of McIn-
tosh, was destroyed by a prairie fire
last week.
1t was during the noon recess
when Miss Reideman saw the fire,
whipped by a 50-mile gale, bearing
down on them.
There was only one chance of es-
Gaping death. She would keep the
children in the building until the fire
swept by and then try to get them all
, out before the flames could eat their
way through the walls. Closing the
windows and doors, she gathered the
children around her. quieted their
fears and waited the coming of the
fire. 1t hit with a roar and crack
ling. The little ones chung to her in
a panic, while the flames, starting in
a coal shed adjoining the building.
licked their way up the side of the
building to the roof, the windows
cracking from the heat.
Then when the prairie fire had
swept on its path to the southeast
and after the ground had cooled so
they would not burn their feet, she
led her charges out of the building.
A minute later the roof fell. Short
ly afterward Miss Reideman's father
arrived in an automobile. Driving
like mad in his race with death. he
reached a schoolhouse eve miles
southeast of Mcintosh In time to save
another daughter, Lurene, and IA OF
her school children. He carried them
out of the path Of the fire and then
almost d~espairing of being able to
save Edna and her pupils, drove in a
vain effort to overtakes the speeding
flames.
Ranch houses, barns, camps, cat
tie, horses and hogs in the path OF
the fire, which was SO miles long and
in places Is miles wide, de-
stroyed.
Several persons were severely
burned while trying to save their hay
and stock.
