ON SALARY BASIS
SOUTH DAKOTA SHERIFFS WILL
RECEIVE REGULAR PAY.

Pierre, Oct. 9.-The first of next
year all the sheriffs will go upon a
salary basis, instead of a fee basis as
has been the practice for years past.
Consequently a point arises as to
their expense account. AS the law
reads it states that expenses which
they are given by the county are call
ed fees" The new law provides
that when they go upon a salary
basis all fees" shall be turned into
the treasury. OF course this sort of
fees is what is received for services,
and the attorney general rules that
the expense account, paid them le-
gally by the county, although termed
fees" in the old law should not be
construed to be the kind of fees
which must be turned into the treas
ury under the new law, the expense
item being a legitimate matter, and
really not usually considered as
fees" Consequently the sheriffs
may retain the expense account they
receive from the counties, and not
consider it fees to be turned in to
the treasury, for if they did not do
this they would be obliged to pay
their official expenses from their sal
aries. which is not intended by the
law for any official.

Moreover, Capt. Won der Goltz per

The burning of factories, the de-
struction of merchant ships, the pois-

woven into this ~stupendous picture

Cur is accurate as to history. The
session of the United States congress
on the eve of war, the great factory
strike, the busy war activities, the
landing of American troops in
France and other momentous events
form a mighty historical panorama.
Yet the story is softened by an in
spring love romance of two young
Americans man and woman who
risk all for the cause of human lib

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WELL?
Many Madison People Know the I'm
portance of Healthy Kidneys.

The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day.
Well kidneys remove impurities.
Weak kidneys allow impurities to
multiply.
No kidney ill should be neglected.
There is possible danger in delay.
If you have backache or urinary
troubles,
If you are nervous, dizzy or worn
out,
Begin treating your kidneys at
once;
Use a proven kidney remedy.
None endorsed like Doan's Kidne y
Pills.
Recommended by thousands.
Proved by Madison testimony:
Mrs. VIM. Carr, AIS Center street
w, Madison, says: "Doan's Kidn ey
Pills proved very good when I used
them. My Kidneys were out of order
and I had a dull ache and sharp
pains in tho small of my back and
through my loins. My kidneys didn't

HAS NOT WAVERED
SOUTH DAKOTAN PAYS TRIBUTE
TO THE FORTITUDE OF
FRANCE.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 9.-Lieut. Har-
old ID. lie Mar, a South Dakota boy
who is in the air service ''over there
in a letter to the home folks pays a
glowing tribute to the fortitude and
other qualities of the French people
as a whole.
For a year he has had an opportu-
nifty to study the French people from
all angles. He writes in part:
I'm most ways the French people
are admirable. Their fortitude, their
patience, their belief that victory
will crown their efforts, all this has
never been shaken, even though their
country has been devastated by four
years of the most awful war imagin-
able. 1t has always been the belief
of the Anglo-Saxons that the Latin
races are impulsive, but shallow,
quick to take up arms and equally
as quick to lay them down, but we
will change our beliefs.
France has met every onslaught
of the boche and has never wavered.
l really believe that there is not a
nation on earth that could take Par
is. AS we all know. Paris is the
heart of France; every Frenchman
worships the city and feels justly
proud of it, and every Frenchman is
the defender. In 1914, when the Hun
was so close to the city, every bum,
hobo, burglar, thief and criminal OF
every sort took up arms with the
soldiers and substantial citizens to
defend Paris at the Marine, with the
result that the boche turned tail and
ran to his line of defense.
Through such battles as Verdun
and the two battles of the Marine the
French soldiers have fought with a
dash and bravery equaled only by
that of our own fresh troops. One
thing that / have noticed illustrates
the spirit of France very well, and
that is that in the year / have been

bodied young Frenchman who was

HIGH PRICES IN AUSTRIA
Meal Costs 81; Suit of Ordinary
Clothes $500

Berne, Dec. 3.-Food was so ex-
pensive in Vienna that slender, un-
ralatablc and unsatisfactory meal cost
from Sd up. Clothes were so scarce
that mediocre suit sold at $500,
while pair of shoes cost from $50
10 500 pair. The commonest neces-
sarics Of life were So difficult to OBJ
tain that one had to stand in line for
hours for a chance to purchase IL tiny
portion at an cxorbitant price.
Such was the condition of affairs
in Vienna just before the armisticc
was concluded, as related by the last
American to leave Austria. He is Il
member of the diplomatic service
who was assigned to- remain at the
Austrian capital when war was de-
clarcd and has just come to Switzer-
land.
No story yet told Of conditions in
Vienna can even remotely approxi-
mate the actual facts as described by
| this eyewitness, whose account was
given, perhaps unconsciously, dra-
rnatc climax by the declaration that,
oespite the indescribablc suffcrings
and hardships, Vienna still has horse
racing, attended by greater crowds
than in peace times. These crowds
walk eight miles to the race track
and bet thousands Of crowns instead
Of hundreds, as formerly, in their fc-
vcrish desire TO forget the misery
caused by the war.

diplomat, because it was physical
mpossibility to continue further. Not
only was Austria without food, but

MIGHT CONSERVE SOME
MORE PAPER

In this mornings mail we received
a copy of T. p. Cores speech in con-
gress. 1t consumed perfectly good
print paper and was franked through
the mail to boot. 1t occurs to us that
this would be a splendid place In
which to conserve paper and allow
the weekly papers, who are really
giving the people war news to the ex-
clusion of other matter, a little more
freedom in the use OF paper. In the
same mail we received literature as
usual, from the National Association
of Distillers and Wholesale Liquor
Dealers, and which Is sent regularly
to all newspapers for no other reason
than to fight prohibition. A mighty
lot of print paper Is consumed in that
Liquor Dealers stuff. Why not cur
tail that and give legitimate weekly
papers the print paper that hellish
business consumes? Oh, there's
plenty of room for conservation be-
side In weekly newspaper Offices. The
Herald is not complaining of the
regulations placed on our business.
We are glad to do anything and ev-
erything to help in winning the war
but II does look like there Is some
thing wrong somewhere, when in ev-
cry mail nearly a waste basket full
of useless literature, much of II
printed on heavy expensive paper.
comes to this Office and to all other
newspaper Offices and serves no good
purpose whatever while weekly pa
pers. which 1t cannot be disputed are
rendering valuable service to the
government, are required to conserve
print paper to the extent of cutting
off subscribers who do not pay in ad-
vance and in addition. before we can
secure a pound of paper. we are COM
pelled to sign pledge that we will
abide by the rulings of the War In
dustries Board and will not waste pa
per. Failure to comply with such
rulings forfeits our right to obtain
any paper at all and means the paper
that does not do so will eventually be
found out and will be closed up.
