EVEN WAR NEEDS FARMERS

AS most of life's affairs eventually
go back to the land and the farmer
in its final analysis, SO. it seems, does
the great European war. At least,
this is acknowledged by one of Eng.
lands leading men, Sir Arthur Lee,
head of the British food production
department. He says to a press cor
respondent:
Give thousand skilled American
farmers on English soil would go a
long way toward combating the Ger
man plan to starve us into submits
sion,' Sir Arthur Lee, head of the
newly formed food production depart
ment, told the Associated Press cor
respondent.
81 told you recently" Sir Arthur
continued, that we intended to bring
from America 1000 tractor plows for
night plowing. We need the skilled
Americans to operate them.
81 have great respect for the abil-
ity of the American farmer" said Sir
Arthur. II have seen him at work
and know everything he does spells
efficiency"

WAR NEWS

The reliability of war news" from
Mexico and the U, s. border has been
a question of doubt in many instances,
but the most fragrant case OF romano
ing was the story sent out from Ell
Paso that 10000 Germans had left
the United States for Mexico, since
the diplomatic break between the u.
S. and Germany. Now comes this very
positive statement from Washington
which reduces the number to a total
of 81, and "a of these re-crossed the
border into the United States. Here
is the official report, under date of
March 2Sth:
Official reports from the southern
department of the army, made public
today, say that reports that many
Germans had crossed the border into
Mexico since the breaking off of dip
lomatic relations between the United
States and Germany are without
foundation.
The records of the immigration
authorities and of the army n the
service along the border show tina,
only three Germans passed into Mex
leo since February 8 in the Browns
vile district and seventy-eight in the
Laredo district, thirty-four of the lat
ter having returned to the United
States.
The Ell Paso report shows that
there are many crossing back and
forth, but only those who are RESI-
dents, in the usual transaction of
business.

THE NEW STATE TRAIL

Some ginger has been injected into
the state road trails by WATERFOWL
taking a hand. That city was left out
of the two former trails through
Aberdeen and Huron. hence this effort
for a new route through WATERFOWL.
II is to be hoped that this competition
for cross-state travel will create the
necessary enthusiasm 10 do some
energetic work. The Aberdeen trail
people have been the most active so
far, and have secured a well adver-
tised and partly graded roadway, due.
OF course, to the hustling ability of
Aberdeen. The other trail through
central South Dakota has lacked the
advantage of a leader, hence. although
the first one established, there has
been no concentrated effort among
the cities and towns along its route.
The Watertown Herald sees the new
proposition in this light: Having
been informed by the secretary of the
yellowstone Trail Association, with
headquarters in Aberdeen that we
cannot play in their back yard. Water
town and the points, east and west
adjourned to their Owl sand lot.

and a route is now proposed which
will leave Aberdeen and its points

that there win not be much wear and

FARM BRINGS sIis ACRE

The Parker New Era records the
sale OF a 160-acre farm in Turner
County, South Dakota, at $143 per
acre. Fifteen years ago the same
farm sold for about $50 per acre.
The purchaser, George Geister, is a
resident of that county. The history
of farm sales is a repetition of this
experience in nearly every state Of
the Union. The man who owns al,
improved farm needs only enough
patience to wait until the demand
reaches him.

CIVIL SERVICE FOR POSTMASTER

The President has signed a bill
placing first, second and third class
postmasters on the civil service list.
Hereafter all persons appointed post
masters must pass a civil service
examination and be under 60 years
of age. The old postmasters are to
hold as long as their service is o. *.
This new order to remove postmasters
from the political patronage list
sounds good to the layman, but it
should not be forgotten that it comes
after the democrats have had four
years in which to fill all the Offices.
However, the objection must be a
mild one, because republicans had the
same opportunity and failed TO grasp

According to the report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission there
we're more persons killed and more
injured for the year ending June 30.
1916, than for the year previous while
walking on or driving over railway
tracks. This increase was doubtless
caused by reckless automobile drivers.

ROAD MAKING AND DRAINAGE

The present spring break up and
excess of water from melting SHOWS
again emphasizes the fact that road
grading is of little value unless the
question of drainage is considered.
Perhaps it is not always possible to
secure the best drainage, but in many
cases of road making the drainage
feature is overlooked or neglected
entirely. A little thought and effort
at the time of grading would give the
road bed greater permanency, n
avoid disagreeable mud holes caused
by pools Of water soaking into the
grades insteal of running off.

sCAyENGEE TAX LAW AGAIN

Pierre Capital-Some twenty years
ago there was a general cleaning up
of delinquent taxes under what was
called the scayenger law This pro-
vided for a judgement and sale of real
estate that was delinquent. The last
legislature passed a similar act this
session, which provides for the sale
of lands and lots by the county that
have been delinquent for ten years
or more. This will mean another
clean up for a lot of cheap lots.

CITY BUILDING

The peolpe of Huron have decided
TO build their W town. They have
paved their main street, voted bonds

$4,000 for city hall and other city

that grow and progress use their
credit to obtain modern improvements

develop the surrounding country.

South Dakota's best cities-whenever
her people decide to unite and go to
work with that end in view.

WAR DECLARED

The President addressed the special
session of congress Monday, ard adj
vised war with Germany. 1t vas only
a question of hours when congress
would make the declaration. Thus
the acknowledged government OF the

war. Regardless of past differences
of opinion, there should be no further
difference now among Americans.
This nation is at War. 1t is the duty
of every American to support it by
