The Selfridge journal continues
its campaign Of Misrepresentation
in it's feeble effort to influence the
voters Of the county to vote for
that town for county seat
The front page spread, last week,
is devoted to three reasons from an
alleged "Tax Payer and Voter"
why Fort Yates is not desirable
place for the county seat. Well,
Mr.. Taxpayerrand Voter is either a
plain fool or q bald faced liar or
perhaps both.
He says:
In the four years Fort Yates has
been the county seat not one man
has erected a home there, who has
come into Fort Yates to act as an
officer"
This is a malicious lie.
A. Colville upon his appointment
as county auditor following the or
ganization Of the county built a
substantial house that will compare
favorably with any residence in
selfridge, which he occupies and
owns to-day.
G. Christensen, present county
auditor has invested between $1,000
and $4,000 in buildings and per-
sopal property in Fort Yates.
States Attorney Edw. S. johnson
built a house which still ornaments
his realty property.
Louis Endres, present county
treasurer, has invested about $4,000
in realty property since he was a
county officer, in the city of Fort
Yates.
He also says it would be cheaper
to build-a court house at Selfridge
than at Fort Yates. Far from the
truth. Selfridge has no building
material such as sand or gravel,
and when Chas. Patterson in 1911
was going to locate the county seat
and court house at Selfridge he put
q man to work in Shields making
cement blocks. These blocks were
made on the Cannonball river, but
SelfridRe's county seat bubble bust.
ed and the blocks were not used.
Chas. Patterson was no fool and
knew buildings and building mater.
ial. The heaviest part Of the ma.
terial that would enter into the
construction Of a modern court
house would have to be shipped tc
selfridge at prohibitive cost This
material is practically on the ground
at Fort Yates.
Another thing this wise ''Tax.
payer and Voter" overlooks is that
Selfridge is showed in for weeks al
a time m the winter and receives
no mail or has any communication
with the outside world. Fort Yate,
is on the best highway in this sec.
ton Of the state and the only timel
during the past four years. Will

the people Of selfridge who would
take the county seat away from its
present location BY fair means or
foul will in itself condemn them to
the rest Of the voters.
|, The Pioneer is confident that the
county seat will remain at Fort
Yates.

Fort Yates Will Retain The
County Seat Of Sioux County
Fort Yates IS the Logical Location for the
County Seat and t6e Easiest Ac-
cessible Point in County

Next Tuesday is general election.
In Sioux county interest centers
in the proposed county seat remov-
al election, but it, is not believed
that any heavy vote will be cast.
There is no contest on for any coun-
ty Office, and outside of selfridge
the large majority Of voters seem to
be content to let the county seat re-
main at Fort Yates. i
The influenza epidemic ii going
sto.keep many voters from the polls.
The fact that the coming election
Is one-sided 60 far as the state tick
ct is concerned will also keep many
at home.
So far as removing the county seat
goes no reasonable argument has
been advanced by the Selfridge sup
porters. Fort Yates is the most
convenient point in the comfy for
the location Of the county seat.
The way the trains are now running
on the Milwaukee main line rail-
road parties from the west arrive at
McLaushl in in the morning and
can take the stage for Fort Yates at
10 O'Clock and arrive here at /
o'clock in the afternoon. As the
atage does not leave Fort Yates un-
til the afternoon at 4 O'Clock they
have several hours in which TO
transact their business and can re-
turn to Mclaughlin the same day.
This is better time than can be
made by taking the branch train
from Mclaughlin to selfridge. In
the winter time the branch Self
ridge is located on is showed in
most Of the time, while, the stage
runs to Fort Yates every day.
Selfridge has no building that
can be used for a court house, nor
can any new building be erected un-
til the war is over. Selfridee has
no accomodatione for the travelling
public, and the statements made in
the Selfridge Journal about a hotel
being under construction il bunk
for the purpose Of securing few
votes.
There is not a man in Selfridge
that has capital enough to build a
first class hotel that has sufficient
confidence in the future Of the town
to invest the money--and besides
the War Industries Board order
prohibiting unnecessary building
during the war would stop the pro.
iect.
Tie Pioneer is not going to dwell
on this question any more. There

NOTIFICATIONS IN THE DRAFT,
Springfield Republican,

Gen. Crowder is fully justified in
his congratulations to the country
upon the successful working of the
draft. Whatever mistakes were made
were almost inevitable in the IMPROVE
sation of SO huge a "a machine and
have done little harm, the record is
one which the country al be proud.
The first essential was to get things
started; an army Of substantial body
created more refined diferentations
can be introduced in providing for the
future. In the beginning they would
have involved undue delay, but the
development of the full military econ
omic strength of the nation they are
essential. 1t seems a sound provision
therefore, to provide for the registra-
ton of the men who have come of age
since June 5, 1917 as Gen. CrOwder
asks congress to do. With this extern
sion he hopes to be able to supply the
needs of the army from class 1 in the
new selective service plan, made up
of the young men without dependents
and unskilled in necessary industrial
and agricultural work.
A great part of the youths coming
of age since the registration last June
are of this class, and both fairness
and efficiency dictate theor enrolment
before men whose services can less
easily be spared by their families and
by the nations industries. The mill
tary contributions of the United
| States is necessarily limited by dis
lance. but to its economic contribu-
ton there is no limit whatever, it is
therefore of the utmost importance to
draw recruits so far as possible from
among those who have not vet estHb-
lished themselves in industry. The
additional enrolment asked for by
Gen Crowder will contribute material
w to the efficiency of the military
system.
The statistics of the draft made
public by Gen Crowder in his report
to congress do not bear out the pessi-
mist &c conclusions which some writer's
have drawn from incomplete returns
in regard to an alleged physical dete-
rioration of the people of the United
States. He finds that of over 5000, 900
men examined only 100000, or but 23.7
per cent were rejected. This is a
much lower rate than has been stated
at various times since examinations
began, and Gen. Crowder calls atten-
ton to the fact that during the civil
war g per cent of the drafted men
were rejected on physical grounds

WASTE OF TIME BY FARMERS
UNBELIEVABLE AND DEPLORABLE

Editor HuStler:
ApropOS of conversation. is If NOT
a pity we have not or cannot have a
government ruling for the conserva
ton of time for the rural districts ?
1t is deplorable to see so many people
wasting not only their own time but
the valuable time OF others and it
seems in these days when every one
10 crying that it is up to the farmer
to win the war that little cognizance
is taken OF the hours that are wasted
that could be put to things necessary
to be done on the farm if we are GO
ing to do u bit in feeding the allies
and ourselves.
Even during the extraordinary bad
weather we have had for the past two
months the amount of actual loaf
ing and 1dleness that has come under
the writer's limited observation is,
to put it mildly, inexcusable
If a man goes to mill, he simply
takes the day for it or rather he spends
the day there not only wasting his
own time but that of others. The
same is true in going to the store or
going to a neighbours on an errand.
How manv ~hOusekeepers iget and
wonder when the visitor will leave,
while courtesy demands that her work
must go on until the caller departs
The rural storekeeper is peculiarly
handicapped also the rural postmaster;
for nearly every one of these farm or
keep house and often do both in con-
nectiOn with the other business and
there will the visitor stand and talk
and talk and often saying they ought
to be at home doing this or that. There
is always mending, repairing and odd
jobs that when spring comes there
will be no time for and yet we waste
all the time and the time of others IN
idle gossip that profits no one and fire.
~quently harms many.
1t is unbelievable the hours that are
wasted at mill, post office and store
in our rural districts and therefore
perhaps if the people could really IN
! derstand that we are in the war and Ii
means the active help OF every one
great and small to win they would
save time and use time with econ

asked to do in regard to 1000 anu

Playing Hockey From School
Costs YOn Only $500 Per DaY.


Every day spent in school pays the
child nine dollars. This is what he
loses every day he is absent.
Here is the proof, say DR.. A. Cas-
we'll Ellis of the University of Texas:
Uneducated labOrers earn or an av-
cage $500 a year for so years-total
$2O,O 900.
High school graduates carr on an
average $1,000 a year for 40 years
total $4,000.
This education requires twelve
years of school of $50 days each, OF
2160 days in school.
If 2160 days in school life adds 500
900 to the income for life then each
dav N school adds $9.02.
1t is a very simple lesson in figur-
ing. This point is this
The child that STAYS out of school tc
earn less than 5000 a day is losing
money.

Perhaps we should not lean too heav-
lily on that to demonstrate an improve
ment in stamina, for in the civil war
so many volunteers had been drawn
OFF before the draft was restored to
that the physical average must have
been somewhat altered in the residue
of the population: in any given group
there would be fewer fit men. How
I've in any ase military physical
tests are somewhat arbitrary, and
while statistics drawn from them are
useful they should be a great part Of
the 1877 per cent rejected are sound
and useful for the ordinary duties Of
life and figures given by General
Crowder are encouraging.
