Farm Help Not to be Disturbed.

Something of Encouragement
has been felt by farmers in the out
look for farm help during the COM
ing season, when so many young
men have been taken frem the farm
for military service. The state ex-
emption board. however, has given
it out that the matter has had at
tention from the following state
ment, issued by DR.. G.. E. Country.
man. chairman Of the board:
The board is composed of one law
yer, one ply sician and three farmers.
Our instructions from the war depart.
ment are to exempt every man who is
pivotal to any industry. No key
man who is needed in the operation OF
lny industry will be called into the
army. This III that no young
nan whose labor is necessary on 9
farm, is going TO be drafted into the
army. Neither is any young man
whose labor is needed in any industry
in town. But the flOater, the man
without an established residence, or
who is given to jumping from one job
to another will get his.
The quota OF South Dakota is prac-
tically made up SO far as the next
draft is concerned. Only . few hum
dred men will fill up the quota. This
means that no d who is needed OF
= farm will be- taken. Those three
farmers on the board, clothed with
the lawyer and the physician with
full power to act, will not consent to
see the farmers of South Dakota
handicapped by lack Of help. They
realize, and the war department and
the president realize. that q young
man who puts in the year raising Q
crop is doing IS much for his country
as Is the young man who shoulders q
musket and goes to war. So you
may depend upon 1t that the state ex-
'empttOn board will not send any
young mar into the army who ought
to be raising corn and wheat. You
may make this as emphatic as posi-.
BILE. and assur the farmers OF South
Dakota that SO far as the exemption
board Is concerned there will be
plenty of farm help in the, state, and
they are justified, therefore, in going
ahead and planning to put in q full
crop.

Fred Z. DQwSOn TO Coach
Columbia Teams This Fall

The Columbia University athletic au-
thorities have selected Fred 7. Dawson
to be resident coach of the football,
basketball and baseball teams next
year. Dawson has been coaching the
Princeton baseball team since April I,
and it was supposed, before this an
nouncement, that he would take charge
of the Princeton football team next
year.
He will succeed 7. Nelson Metcalfe as
coach of the football team, the latter
having been appointed athletic director
of Oberlin. In basketball he takes the
place of John Murray, who was tenn
porary director of the basketball team
last winter, and in baseball he sue
ceeds Andy" Coakley, one Of Colum-
bias most successful coaches.
According to c. Halstead Mapes, the
chairman of the Columbia Committee
on Athletics, one of the most favorable
features of the new appointment is the
fact that Dawson will be a resident
coach in the college and will thus be
in close contact with the undergrad
yates.
Was Columbia Student
All of the present directors Of the
Blue and White teams live away from
the college. In accordance with the
Columbia rule in regard to its football
coaches, Dawson will be member of
the physical education department.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

eff I've got to slam some one, it may
as we'll be you," Jess Willard, to para
phrase the words of one of the sweet
old songs that our maiden aunts used
to sing on the straw rides in the long,
long ago.
Perhaps it is that we are a con-
firmed, shell-back crouch and that, like
the other "glooms" Of that ilk, we can
see only the hole in the doughnut OF
the Swiss cheese; but, for the life of
US, we are unable to understand why
all this patting on the back of Jess and
Colonel Miller and Freddie Fulton is
in order.
When Colonel Joe was here in New
York, and for several weeks before and
after that, anybody who mentioned
"Red Cross" Or charity in connection
with the championship bout between
Willard and Fulton, set for next
Fourth of July. would have been con-
sidered. we'll, just vulgar, if you get
what we mean, Barbara, and if said
vulgarian had persisted in saying
"Please help the blind" the chances
are he would have got the "razz," and
the "Welcome!" on the family door
mat would have been turned with its
face to the floor.
After trying to horn in on every
state in the "Union There is Strength -
with a proposition that every little
jitney taken in at the gate should go
into the "Save Home for Willard and
Colonel Joe Fund" and being turned
down every time they asked for hand
out. Colonel Miller and Joking Jess
went to Minnesota and ratified their
tin cups again and batted their eyes
with baby stare.
When the thrifty MINI ,sota law
makers opened the back door and gave
Jess and Colonel Josephus the up-and-
down, the Heavenly Twins shined up
their "Please Help a Poor Man" signs
and emitted various and sundry gurg-
lings through their windpipes, as all
respectable starving men are suppose d
to do.
But a Minnesotan thinks no more
Of red cent than you do of your eye
sight, Sidney. Joe and Jess were
given to understand that they had
struck the wrong side of the street,
and that although there were lots of
good things in the icebox that starv-
:ng men would like t. wrap their tum
mics around, they would have to come
across themselves.
Quantities of language were spilled
all over the place, and finally the Min
:'esota philanthrop1sts got their shoot
ing irons out and Iropped the business
ends up against the head of Colonel
Miller ard Jess and Whispered these
tender words: "Ycs, dear friends, you
rnav hold your bout right here in ST
Paul. but would you mind kicking lin
with 10 per cent t. the state and an
other 10 per cent T.. the Federal Gov
ernment, and just another little 10 per
cent of the gross to the Minnesota
New-York tribune., 1918-04-25

State tuberculosis Fund, and then only
a teeney-weeney 1914 per cent to the
Army and Navy Athletic Fund, and,
| surely you would not refuse to chip
in with another 25 per cent of the
moving picture receipts to the Army
and Navy Athletic Fund. And now, if
you'll just say 'Uncle.' everything
will be all hunkey -dorey."
Jess and Colonel Miller are spend
thrifts at heart, and after they had
squinted down the barrels Of the "wee-
pons," decided that it would be just
perfectly lovely to sign a total of 42 y
per cent of the gross receipts to the
good little charities, and they both
lisped out "Uncle!" and agreed to
terms. "I'll do even more than that. |
will, III take all my earnings in Lib
erty bonds, and so will Freddie Fulton
and the Colonel here" said Jess, blush
ing and nudging Colonel Joe right
between his floating ribs, and so they
will if the Minnesota Safety Commits
sion agrees to the bout being held in
the state.
The moral taught by this gorgeous
fable is this: "That even a stone will
give you a drink of water if you
squeeze it hard enough"
