SHOWS WORLD NOT
so BIG AFTER ALL

Milbank, S. D., Jan. 5.-That the
world Is not so large after all, was
demonstrated in the case Of Mrs. Her
bert Atkinson, of Milbank, when she
was handed a letter by a woman friend,
Mrs. F. l.. Thompson, extending thanks
for a garment which Mrs. Thompson
had knitted and sent through h Red
Cross to soldiers and sailors at the
front, the letter proving to be from NJ.
l.. Bridges, a brother of Mrs. Atkinson.
The surprise of Mrs. Thompson can be
imagined when she took the letter to
her neighbor n discovered that the
epistle was from the brother of Mrs.
Atkinson. Young Bridges Is assigned
to an American warship and one Of the
peculiar incidents of the war was that
he should chance to receive the knitted
garment sent by a neighbor Of his sis
ter, the garment having been sent with
thousands Of others through the Min
neapolis branch of the Red Cross. That
this garment should fall into the
hands of this particular young man,
aboard a United States man of war in
far distant waters, could scarcely be
believed by the two women.

To assist naval airmen in detecting
h presence and then determining the
position of enemy submarines a deli
cate instrument Of considerable inge-
nuity has been produced. An adequate
conception of Its character Is afforded
without necessarily. discussing its tech
meal details, which for obvious reasons
are withheld. Roughly, 1t consists Of q
compact buoy that carries a receiver
which converts the sound waves from a
submarines propeller into electrical
energy. When thrown overheard by an
airman it floats on the surface Of the
water. Upon the approach of a sub
marine within a certain radius of it the
antenna attached to the buoy sends out
wireless signals which are in urn
picked up by receiving instruments in
stalled in the aircraft The presence OF
a boat within this area is thus an
nOunced.

SIOUX FALLS TROUBLE
OVER VACCINATION ENDS

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 5.-There will
be no anti-vaccination meeting in the
city auditorium, as planned this eve
ming. This announcement was made
by Grant Lines, chairman Of the last
meeting, after a consultation with the
members of the investigation commit
tee that has been looking into the
smallpox scare conditions.
The committee reached the conclu-
sion that another meeting was not
necessary since DR.. w. T.. Keller, city
health physician rescinded his ban on
the balance Of the unvaccinated chill
dren and declared that the epidemic
was over. All children and pupils were
admitted to the schools and the feeling
over the order of last month rapidly
vanished.

manages it's affairs in this business like
method, and its success Is therefore
complete-as is that of the Y. M. c. A.,
which also has definite methods. Just
now there is to be a campaign for funds
with which to ecure khaki bibles for
the soldiers, and this, as well as other
similar things, will be reported in this
definite way, thus insuring the funds
reaching the proper persons for all
these patriotic gifts to soldiers by the
citizens at home.

S, DAKOTA SOLDIERS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Men at Camp Funston Take
Pride in Organization-Many
Former Business Men.

Camp Funston, Kan, an. 7-One or.
ganization IN Camp Funston is unusual
as 1t is made up entirely of men from
one state. 1t is Company B, of the
SAND machine gun battalion. The en-
tire company including the non-com-
missioned officers claim South Dakota
as their home state. There is scarcely
a county tina is not represented on the
company roster.
This company has been in training
less than three months, but has pro-
crossed more rapidly than many other
organizations as it's men all have a
common interest n work in closer
harmony than companies made up of
men from different states. The boys of
the camps make the b company bar
racks a South Dakota headquarters inc
drop in to spend an evening occa-
sionally. A piano and monograph help
to keep things lively and visitors al
ways report a good time.
There are many prominent South Da-
kota men soldering at Camp Funston
n ]" company has it's share Of
them. William Wieland, formerly Of the
firm of Wieland e. Son at belmont, and
c. A. Guirich, formerly a business man
or Wakonda, are now the company
buglers. Sergts. Frank Brady and G..
c. Burnett and Corporal E. E. Barry are
well known cattle men from the west
ern part of the state. Sergeant c. NJ.
Miller, formerly farmed over 900 acres
in Charles Mix county and there are
few people in that part of the state
who do not know him. Corporal f. G..
Canaday was Professor OF mathematics
at the University of South Dakota, and
Is now company clerk. Sergt. A. ID.
Campbell was in the automobile bust
ness and is well known in different
parts of the state. Corporal j. ].
O'Reilly was in business at Draper. All
these men are making good as soldiers
n show the same enthusiasm in the
business Of soldering hat they did in
their vocations in civil life.
There are few South Dakota boys at
Camp Funston that have advanced as
rapidly az William Wander Worst, Of
Lake Andes. He was mustered into the
national army as a private in Septem-
ber n was promoted to the ranks Of
corporal before he had finished his
first month in service. Later he was
again promoted to sergeant and at
present is acting first sergeant of Com
pany c, 340th machine gun battalion.
He is one of the 440 men of the camp
who have been selected for training
for commissions as lieutenants, his
comrades expect to see BILL wearing
the pins" when his three months train
ing are over.

THE NUMBER THIRTEEN
HAD IMPORTANT PLACE

Cotton, S. d., Jan. Sc. A. Grinde,
once county auditor, member of the
state legislature, a successful farmer
and an all round good citizen, carved
up a half dozen turkeys a few days
ago, the occasion being when the chill.
dren all came home to spend the holi.
days with father and mother and to
make the occasion a real family re-
union.
Raising her specks, Mrs. Grinde
remarked: "This seems to be a family
OF 13 children and 10 grandchildren"
And that was true. Then some one
remembered that it was just 10 years
that the last family reunion was
held.
The day before. the 10 children had
driven to Dell Rapids to have their
pictures taken. 1t was Just 13 miles.
There were just 10 in the picture.

STUDY WATER POWER
ON MISSOURI RIVER

Pierre, S.. d., Jan. THE immigra-
let devoted to the question of water
power development OF the Missouri
river, showing with maps, drafts, and
photographs the great possibilities for
water development on this STRAIN
throughout its course in South Dakota
Seven particularly promising sites of
potential power are discussed in the
booklet, these being located at Big
Bend, Little Bend, Mulehead Point.
Chamberlain, Reynolds Point n Bad
Hairs place.
The possibilities of these seven places
would give a total Of 242. 900 horse pow
er as a minimum. and the average flow
of the stream will produce at these
heads a total OF 552, 600 horse power.

Nature evidently intended that mems
faces should be covered with a growth
Of beard, but not being satisfied with
natures arrangement in this matter,
Is in various others, most men provide
themselves with razors and keep most
or all OF this hair shaved off. Man In
not the only creature that undertakes
to improve on nature in this respect.
A curious South American bird, called
the bonmot, takes a modified kind OF
shave at regular intervals. Long blue
feathers grow to form this birds tail,
and on these feathers Is a soft down.
For some reason or other the bird dis
likes the feathers in this form. There
fore, from time to time II ships OF
with it's sharp beak all Of the down
from their lower ends to within about
an nch Of their tips. The tufts left
growing are carefully kept in the form
of an oval.

After the war thousands will be walk
ing about with "a bit O. glass in their
heads in place of a lost eye, and it will
take an expert to tell which Is the real
and which the artificial. The artificial
hand can do the most wonderful things.
from picking up a pin to working a
lathe. The artificial leg soon becomes
so efficient that the wearer al play a
good game of lawn tennis m has to in
form his opponent which leg is the
game one. The artificial nose can still
smell-not always an unmiNed blessing
but the most exquisitely wrought and
artistically finished artificial eye cannot
see. That is beyond the skill Of man.
