THE w. F. McCUE
Mercantile Company
The Chieftain for Good Printing
Forgot what He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interest
ing experience some time ago, when
a young gentleman came to this
office and asked for copy of the
Morrow County Republican. He
scrutinized it carefully when copy
was handed him, and then said:
Now I konw!" What is it you
are looking for" we inquired. MY
wife sent me after bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and for
got the name. l went to several
stores and the clerks named over
everything in the line on the shelf
except Chamberlain's'. I'll try
again, and I'll never go home with
out Chamberlain Cough Remedy"
The Republican would suggest to
the proprietors of stores, that they
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Customers lose faith
in stores where substituting is per
mitted, to say nothing of the in
justice to makers of good goods and
the disappointment of customers.

U-BOATS USE OIL CAMOUFLAGE
Submarine Commanders Try q New
Trick, but Twas Quickly
Found Out

London. Tricky German U-boat
commanders have conceived new plan
designated TO deceive crews OF the al
lied submarine destroyers I'm the game
Of hide and seek In European waters.
When depth bomb is discharged and
does not cripple or destroy the Ger
man undersea boat, as sometimes hap
pens. a quantity OF oil is released by
some device OF the submersible and
quickly rises 70 the waters surface.
The hope OF the German U-boat cap
tain Is that the commander OF the de-
stroyer will see the oil, believe that the
submarine has been wrecked and drop
no more depth charges. Meantime, the
German is endeavoring TO escape.
American and British commanders OF
destroyers and submarine chasers die
covered the scheme OF the Germans
some time ago and since then have
been dropping depth bombs In greater
numbers than previously, using the oil
as a guide 10 the general location OF
their target. "On' camoufage" the
American and British navy men call
this latest German submarine trick.

in Michigan. This means 10000 boys
and girls to do it, each of whom will
put up 20 cans per. The government
of our country needs TO take nearly
y of the timed goods from all the
factories for the boys in khaki and il
leaves only small part for civilians,
so home canning must be done or go
without. Also every one knows that
where there is garden truck to eat,
not as much meat and flour foods are
eaten. This gives another reason for
canning so that in winter those foods
needed by the army may be saved.
1t is known by the government that
it will be difficult next year TO buy
cans, tin or glass, as there is a great
shortage of raw material to make
them and SO what is put up this year
is gain and is quite necessary to do,
even though fruit sells high. 1t is apt
to be more high and scarcer next
year Frances third year was her
greatest period Of hardship and
sacrifice. England has just been ex-
periencing her third year and it has
proven a test and ours is just ahead
of us. The government urges US
most emphatically to can more than
ever, now when we can get the ma
terial, no matter what the price Chat
is to be the sacrifice) in order that
we may be prepared TO conserve on
the meals, etc 1t is believed that
the drying Of vegetables and fruits
will be forced on us next year by the
shortage in containers. SO it is desir-
able to begin training our tastes a
little this year by drying our beans,
peas, apples, corn and similar pro-
ducts.
The canning and club work head
quarters has been moved from the
high school to the basement of the
Presbyterian church where il will be
located for the following month. All
public demonstrations will be given

daily set up two gas plates and ar

URGE FEWER DELIVERIES
BY RETAIL MERCHANTS

Huron, S. D., June 24.-The state
council Of defense has today made
public two motions, passed unanimous
ly at its late meeting. Both are re-
lated to food conservation The first
recommends to Mr.. Herried, state food
administrator, that he direct the at
tention of Mr.. Hoover to the necessity
and ACCESSIBILITY Of seeing that q mill
product containing the compon-
ent parts of wheat and it's substitutes,
suitable for making war breads, be put
on the market"
The other, in the form of a resolu-
ton, read: 1T is the sense of the
South Dakota council of defense that
in all towns or cities where merchants
maintain free delivery of merchandise
that deliveries should be reduced to a
minimum and recommend that all mer-
chants try and organize their business
so that they will not have more than
two deliveries per day, and urgently
request that all merchants honor this
resolution from a standpoint of patri-
otism, as this will aid materially in the
conservation of labor which is so much
needed in the conservation food stuffs."

Problems to Be Encountered
This Year Numercus-Sav-

Vermilion, 8. D., June 32.-H. G.
Borneman. Of Sioux Falls, president Of
the South Dakota Brotherhood Of
Threshermen, will address a meeting
OF the threshermen of Clay county at
the courthouse in this city Wednesday
evening. June 26. Mr.. Borneman is a

cuss problems which are confronting
the threshermen this year because of
the war.
Threshermen who have had occasion
to buy new machinery or equipment
during the present season and who
a the problem Of operating these
machines with high priced fuel, are be-
ginning to look on the situation as a
serious matter. Their problems arising
from the war are two-fold. Machinery,
supplies and repairs have materially
advanced, the cost of fuel is enormous.
and 1t is difficult to obtain competent
operators. War conditions are making
1t h patriotic duty of threshers to
thresh as clean and carefully as posi-
bic. Should the 100 threshers in Clay
county saw only 500 bushels of grain
during the entire seasons run, more
than in ordinary times, a total of 50,-
600 bushels will be saved. Add to this
the elimination of the usual waste of
threshermen throughout the country
the sum total of the saving would be
enormous.
1t is expected that definite action will
be taken by the threshermen at this
meeting in fixing a uniform price for
threshing.

ALLEGED STATEMENTS
STRONGLY PRO-GERMAN

belmont, S. D., June 22.-The atten-
ton of the federal officers Of South
Dakota has been called to the case of
Albert Rendering, an alleged pro-
German farmer living in Douglas
county, who was summoned before the
Douglas county council Of defense to
answer to charges of alleged ~disloyalty
against him. His father lives in the
vicinity. The father is n German by
birth, while the son claims to be a
subject Of Holland. Evidence was pre-
scented before the council Of defense
that the younger Rendering had stated
to a neighboring farmer that If the
government took him as a soldier he
would desert to the Germans within
three days.
1t is also charged that he stated
that the United States had no right
to declare war; that IL drafted he would
be a man, but If sent to France he
would send word to the Germans as to
the sailing of American transports, so
as to make them cas- of attack, and
that he watched the newspapers to get
data as to the sailing of transports.
A number Of other disloyal statements
were attributed to him by the wit
nesses who appeared against him.
Called in his own defense the accused
stated that he had registered as an
alien at Hettinger, n. d., and had been
placed in Class 5. He denies making
the disloyal statements as set forth
by the witnesses who appeared against
him..

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO
AID IN LABOR PROBLEM

Vermilion, S.. D., June 22.-The Com
mercial club of Vermilion has taken
action in IN effort to relieve the short
age Of farm help that exists in this vi
cinity. Nearly all farmers were short
of help during the spring work and
now that the draft has called go farm
ers and farm laborers who will soon
leave for the training camp 1t is
thought that drastic measures must be
taken to secure the help necessary to
save the crops. Notwithstanding the
fact that the department of labor is
moving several thousand men north
ward for the harvest it is feared that
they will not get this far north in time
because of tho exceptionally early har-
vest that is anticipated. The COM
mercial club has formulated the plan
to arouse patriotic enthusiasm among
the citizens Of Vermilion and invite
them to stand ready to volunteer aid
to the farmers should the emergenc
arise at harvest time. Registration
cards are being prepared and the home
guards will solicit for volunteer work
ers.
