COMMENT ON FAILURE
TO BACK UP WILSON
Papers Generally Condemn Sem
ate For Not Passing Legisla-
ton President Strongly Urged.
People Must Be United.

Following is the comment of various
papers, picked at random, on the fail
ure of congress to pass the armed mer-
chant ship bill:
lFrom the New York Journal of Com
merCe.l
There is every reason for trusting
the president and the naval force at
his command not to commit any overt
act or provoke war, whatever the mis-
guided and misruled Germans may pro-
fess TO believe. Ills own countrymen
have every reason for understanding
his purpose, which they would be glad
to have carried into effect If 1t could
be honorably Gcne. If this is not to BE-
the case, which seems likely now, the
people must come together with no
thought Of party. and If it should BE-
necessary TO call the new congress to
determine upon an inevitable declara-
ton Ct var 1t is to be hoped that it
viii not c~Ountenance any such unseen
ly behavior as that which disgraced
the congress that has just expired.
1t is devoutly 70 be hoped that the
president will be able to hold n steady
and skillful guiding hand and make
an earnest and effective appeal to tn
better of the people, which will
bring them to the support OF their gov
eminent, before there is any occasion
for calling the new congress together.

FARM HELP
GENERAL NEED or FARM HELP
REPORTED TO INDUSTRIAL
COMMISSIONER.

Pierre May 3.-Charles McCaf-
free, of the state immigration depart
ment at Pierre, has issued a bulletin
in regard to the farm help conditions
Of the state, as follows.
A report from nearly all towns of
the state has been received by the
South Dakota industrial commission
or. ii shows a general need Of farm
labor which cannot be supplied from
outside at present. A report from
the schools shows that practically all
the boys are needed in the home com
munities.
Many farm hands are coming, bat
likely not more than are going out
for military service. The cities are
sending some and promising consid-
cradle numbers soon. though how
many and how efficient cannot be
told. The %selective CONSUMPTION bill
passed by congress is going TO help.
The government departments and
voluntary organizations give us
promises.
1t seems safe to assure farmers of
sufficient help in harvesting all
crops they can get in no matter how
much they stretch their acreage and
even after summers hot sun has
wilted the town mans buOyant
spring enthusiasm.

To THE PUBLIC.

We feel that an explanation is due
to the public in regard to the ad-
vance of | cent per quart after May
i. The advance was forced on me
by the increased cost of everything
pertaining to the production and dis
tribution of dairy products. We are
compelled TO pay to the producer l
cen per quart more at this time than
we would have under normal cOndi-
tions. Without this increase. the
farmer can make more money by
selling butter fat at so cents per
pound and feed the skinned milk to
SIS hogs. AS to the reliability of
this statement, We will refer you to
the following farmers of whom we
purchase milk and cream: Messrs.
Wilkinson, Brown, Sunde, Fisher.
Gross, WELDON, Steir and others.
We wish to assure the public that
in entering into shis enterprise il
was with the intention of lettering
existing conditions instead of max
ing them worse. Our new modern
plant will stand the closest of inspec-
ton. No money has been spared to
make same strictly up to date in
every respect. We have been work
ing somewhat under difficulties. first
owing to delay in the arrival of our
machinery; second, on account of the
unusually bad condition of the roads,
which makes it rather a task to de-
liver milk 1t the right time. How
ever, we are now organized and hope
to be able to render the very best Of
service to the community. We eX-
pect to begin p%asteurizing most of
our milk within a few days. This
will assure absolute purity of u
products.
We are open for any criticism and
we are here ready and willing to cor
rect any reasonable complaints as to
service and quality of our products.
Soliciting your business and assuring
you that we are here to do our very
best, we remain,
Yours truly,
