Mennonite EXPELLED
BELONGED TO SOCIETY 40 YEARS
TO LOSE LIFE'S WORK.

Huron. May 29.-Judgment day
for the Mennonite societies Of South
Dakota IS property institutions is
near at hand.
A suit has just been brought In the
circuit court here by Michael VALID
ner against the Hutterische Bruder
~Gemeinde, a corporation of Bon
Homme county. one OF the Mennon-
lite societies, which will prove a very
important case in this state, as un-
doubtedly the property rights of the
members of this corporation will be
established by this action.
The plaintiff i'm the case says he
has been a member of this society for
40 years or more and now after de-
voting the best years of his life and
the labor of himself and family to
the several colonies of this corpora
ton, he charges that he and his fam
lily have been forced out and driven
by i'll treatment from the James Val
ley colony without a penny while the
corporation. with about 5000, 900,
worth of property in the state, with
holds from him his share of the ac-
cumulations of a lifetime.
Mr.. Waldner has appointed r.. o.
Richards. of Huron, as his trustee,
under full power of attorney to act
for him. Under this action a lis pen-
dens has been filed tying up all lands
of the corporation in Bon Homme,
Hutchinson, Hanson and Beadle
counties until the suit has been de-
termined.
The action, 1t is believed, may
prove a great benefit to the MEM
bers of the society as they have al
ready shown a disposition to act has
tily and to dispose of their South Da-
kota holdings at a heavy sacrifice and
remove to Canada.

who told of the storm while in Wa

Saturday, said the ground was so COW
cred with hail stones after the storm
that nothing but white was to be
seen. Damage to trees and garden
truck in the area hit by the storm
was heavy and Mr.. Nelson was of the
opinion that the small grain would
be injured some.
Mr.. Nelson said the storm came
with a crash and a roar that was ter
rifying. Every window of his house
on the side the storm struck was
taken out. He said every tree was
absolutely stripped of foliage and
ever the bark on the fruit trees was
cut and stripped in some places. Gar
den truck. he said, was literally ham
mered into the ground. He said
small grain is undoubtedly damaged,
but it is difficult at the present time
to tell how great the damage there
will be.

CALL FOR NURSES
SURGEON GENERAL GORGAS
SAYS 5000 ARE NEEDED
FOR ARMY ALONE.

Sioux Falls, May 29.-An impera-
tive call has been issued by Surgeon
General Gorgas, United States army.
Miss Blanche Townshend, of Dell
Rapids, of the department of nursing
of the northern division of the Red
Cross, has made public the follow
ing request from Surgeon General
Gorgas:
Do you realize:
THAT the well-being of the fight
ing army depends upon the size and
efficiency of the nursing army?
That in this call General Gorgas
seeks to conserve the health and
lives of u boys-the health and life
of your own boy?
she is the only woman who will
share the hardships, the dangers and
the privations at the front.
She it is who must give all, even
her life IL necessary, for your boy.
she it is who must stand in the
place of mother, wife or sister when
he is burning with fever or shattered
by shell.
'She it is who must be you to him
at his sickbed and at his deathbed.
"She 1t is who will catch the last
whispered message to you.
ITO release for service in the army
and navy nurse corps. as a pressing
military necessity, every nurse whose
services are not imperatively needed
at home.
This military necessity devolves
directly upon every person employing
nurses where the dictates of life oil
death or the utmost physical neces
sity do not demand them.
IF you are employing a trained
nurse largely as a companion, 1t Il
your patriotic duty to release her.
Gen. Gorgas' call demands thu
strictest conservation of nursing serv
ice. This conservation is as essen
tial as the conservation of food.
While the Red Cross nurse is wait
ing for her call. through thoughtless
ness many people, when calling for
nurse, stipulate that she be not a Re-
Cross nurse, for fear she would b.
called to service and a change mad
necessary. This penalties the nursV
who has signified her willingness t
serve.
Your part" the American Re,
Cross says, lis to insist upon tn,
services of a Red Cross nurse, tina
she may not be deprived Of her liveli
hood, while waiting for her country
call. 1t is for you to pay to the Rec
Gross nurse every consideration fol
the services she is willing to render
to release unnecessary nurses, t,

for the war and to encourage other
to do likewise"
