DIST | ~ PLANS FOR
NOBRlDGE PAPER

Mobrldge, Feb. 10. There is a
movement here backed by Pat
Morrison, to move the Dakota
Democrat from Aberdeen to Mo
bridge. Several business men of
Mobrld9e have agreed to take
$500 worth Of advertising and
printing as a bonus to get the
Democrat here.
This movement is meeting
with considerable opposition by
many of the loyal Mobridge
boosters on the grounds that if a
more to-date paper was want
ed here this bonus should be
turned over to the two local
papers, the bulletin or the News,
Thereby enabling one or the 9th

The Slack in Our Speech

There is too much slack in the language of most of us, much lost motion that should be up We do not mean the loss is in the than obscure what to strengthen explain, but in expressions which without meaning, of which could not give any excuse for using of which many of could not give hint of the meaning.
 A favorite expression is "in the premises used by many people who do not know the difference be- tween premise and a pontoon; who, if they take any thought concerning the think that prem ses' have relation to real property; who could the difference between fin the premises" and "on the premises" The former is something they have heard sometime, thought it sounded well and conscripted it into universal service.
 We were struck by its the other day in a colloquy between Colorado United States judge and
 district attorney in which said he would the grand jury subject to call and would de- part from the practice of monthly sessions There upon the attorney said: T differ with your in the premises
 Passing over the improper of the word with" instead of from" to the meaningless "in the premises" Where and what the premises here? The judge had merely stated that he going the establishment of which would lead to another established proposition.
 The language, rather the speech of most of us is honeycombed with such weaknesses. To language is not SD much a means of expression a vehicle to be laden with tumble of words and phrases of

Why Should We Worry?

This is the weather It's the kind on which we base argument to the people of the United States the winter climate of the Salt River valley. There is other like it. While the whole country east of the Mississippi river in the grip of the severest winter of years and while the country west of the Mississippi still rigid from the re- cent cold spell and while chilling drenching fogs lay the coast the Salt River valley had the warmest December 29 since the establishment of the weather bureau here. Pedestrians sought the shady side of the street
 At Chandler in the afternoon the thermometer registered 110 in the and 7S in the shade. In Phoenix the range between 45 o'clock in the morning and so at o'clock in the afternoon If these facts and figures could be laid before the public believe there would be much more serious con- gestion of railroad traffic occasoned by choking rush from all parts of the country toward Phoenix.
 We cannot understand this coal problem which is puzzling the northeast. It is too remote for like Chinese famine. It is remote the is to of us, something fully grasp. Fuel is the least of cares. Why should anybody be worrying about coal? Why should a winter resi- dent of the Salt River valley worry about anything?

A PROPHETIC POEM

(These lines written by Herman Hagedorn, IT, the class poem of Harvard, 1907. and recently reprinted in the Boston Post because of their peculiar appropriateness.) There's trampng of hoofs in the busy street, There's clanking of sabers on floor and stair, There's sound of restless. hurrying feet Of voices that whisper, of lips that entreat- Will they live will they die will they strive, will
 they dare? The houses garlanded, flags flutter gay, For troop of the Guard rides forth today. Oh, the troopers will ride and their hearts will leap When it's shoulder to shoulder and friend
 friend But it's to the pinnacle. some to the deep, And some in the glow of their strength to sleep; And for all it's fight to the tales far end And it's each to his goal, turn sway When the troop of the Guard rides forth today The dawn is upon the pale light speeds
 To the zenith with glamour and golden dart. On, up Boot and saddle! Give spurs to your steeds, There's city beleaguered that cries for mems deeds With the pain of the world in it's cavernous

WHAT CANADIAN WOMEN ARE DOING

 We found that our Canadian army in training contained of boys without mothers or near rel atives Through the Y. M. C. A. workers in the camps obtained of such lads and later made list of names which these boys furnished us. When they went abroad, followed them with letters, newspapers magazines and occasional boxes of home made goodies. We visit the military hospitals in Toronto hunt up the boys who have friends here, send them fruit and flowers and have chat with them. Nurses say they look eagerly for our coming As our home is nearly an hours ride from the hos pital, my daughter and I knit during the journey We always keep two three pieces of work going a tme and if friend drops in offer her garment to work on while we chat. In two years and a half have knitted one hundred and six pairs of socks, besides caps scarfs gloves cholera belts and mitts.

|VOT SO EASY NQN| TOSELL CURE-A[L
 AS TEN YEARS ACO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Ten years ago there was no ailment to which human flesh is heir, that some maker of patent medicines did not claim to be able to cure with such ease that it seemed almost the height of fool ishness not to part with the price for his nostrums.
 Today, because of the operation of the Federal Food and Drug Act, the eXtravagant promises Of cure that characterized the labelling of the patent medicines of ten years ago have practi- cally disappeared from the prepara- tions that enter interstate commerce. They may, however, still be found in newspapers and other advertisements that are not subject to the act. The pure food law" as it is known, is concerned only with the package as it is shipped in interstate commerce. If one questions the truth of a newspaper advertisement of a patent medicine let him read the label on the carton or bottle at the corner drug store. The latter will come nearer telling the

BETS TO ASSIST
 IN -ORD|NAT|NC
 NATIONS RAILWAYS

A. A. Betts of the Arizona corpora lion commission left last night for Dallas, Texas, where an imprtant meeting will begin next Wednesday to assist in putting the machinery in order for the government control of the railroads of the country. This will be meeting O. the representa- tiTes in the southern department of all who are now interested in the regulation and operation of the r2n- roads, such as railroad officials, and railway boards and commissions.
 The summons came in the form of the following telegram received yes terday morning:
 Houston, Texas, Dec 29, 1917. Arizona Corporation Commission,
 Phoenix, Arizona,
 Am in receipt of telegraphic in structions from General Chairman Harrison requesting me to take up vigorously and at once with all rail- roads in this territory the matter of common use of terminal facilities and parallel lines eliminating all compet- itive prohibitions and waiving com- petitive control or solicitation of traf- fife. In line with these instructions steps have been taken for the com mon use of several facilities and I am arranging with all railroad officials in this territory to keep me closely ad- vised as to local situations. In ac- cordance with the proclamation of the president and the instructions of Gen. seral Chairman Harrison above re- ferred to I have called meeting of the railroad executives of the lines in the southern department at the com- mittee room of the Dallas Union Ter minal Company, Dallas, Texas, for ten a. m., Wednesday, January second, 1918, at which time plans will be dis cussed looking to effective and inn mediate action. I should be very glad indeed if your commission will attend this meeting. The situation is, of course, grave one and the effective cooperation not only of all the car riers but of the local authorities is

As to Armament

We have always opposed the carrying Of concealed weapons. We still opposed carrying them in town where no man has any for them. But in view of the operations of fire bugs think it would be good thing for farmers always to have weapon handy A rifle of course, would be the best because it,is the surest but rifle casual weapon is in convenient, Whatever the weapon, the bullet used should be large and soft-nosed, crossed cupped that wherever it might hit, the effect would be certain and permanent.
 With such an equipment, the man who discovered another in the setting fire a stack of hay the other morning could have done the community, the and the federal government signal service.
 That a pretty good job done by the police yes terday morning in lowering the level of the criminal population in Phoenix. No better and cheaper dis position could be made of the hold up man.

truth about the medicine.
 Misbrandings, in regard to healing value of hundreds of alleged cancer cures, o-called cures" for coughs, colds consumption, kidney diseases, especially St. Nitus dance, and the like, have been corrected. This is told in the annual report of the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, which reviews the opera ton of the Food and Drug Act in the safeguarding of the health of the Amer ican people.
 The law requires the labels of pat ent medicines to declare the presence of any habit forming drug, such as opium cocaine, or alcohol, thus pre- venting the innocent development of the drug habit. This provision of the law is particularly valuable in warn ing mothers against the use of SO called infant soothing syrups contain- ing opium.
 When the act went into effect, drug addiction was so prevalent that frauds in the treatment of the victims were frequent and in most instances the remedy advertised so forcefully by the labels contained the very drug from which escape was desired.
 In 1907, the Bureau of Chemistry found that 30 soft drinks contained small amounts of cocaine. Practically all of these were suppressed. The food and drugs act is regarded as heaving been an important factor in bringing about passage of the Harrison anti narcotic law, which more effectively controls habit-forming narcotics. Much has been done, the report says to control the indiscriminate use of so- called headache remedies containing | dangerous, depressing drugs, and of dangerous cosmetics making claim tC health value; and in raising the quail ity of the supply of crude drugs through | the examination of imports. As a result of cooperative work with ths postoffice department. a number oi l fraud orders were issued by that de-
