Townley Brought His Friends,
Including Governor of the State.

Including Governor of the State.
On the night of January 2sth at 8
o'clock we were in the Grand Pacific
hotel, and Townley brought along a
whole lot of his friends. It seemed
to me there were fifty of them, and
while can't remember all of them,
/ do remember that Governor Frazier
was in the crowd.
Townley hadn't gotten into the room
hardly before he got mad. / could
tell that he was mad clean through,
and he was mad the whole night long.
Townley had asked that everything
be kept secret and we had expected
to meet only himself.
However, we threshed things out
with the whole bunch for several
hours, and it was midnight before we
were able to get down to meeting
with Townley himself. The others
left--all except one fellow, rather
nice looking, clean shaven young fell
low, who Townley told us was his Sec
retary. He asked that we let him
stay with Townley and We decided to
do so. We were, after midnight, in
session, only with Townley and his
secretary, and eight or nine Farmers
Union members, directors and officers.
Wanted Townley to Put Stores
On Proper Business Foundation.
The first thing that we did after
we got Townley alone was to ask him
to take the store proposition away
from the league because we were
afraid it would hurt the league.
He refused to do So
Well, sir, he told us that the store
proposition didn't have any direct
connection with the league, but that
indirectly it did,,and / guess that II
you read the contract you will find
that is the case.
We all held to the proposition that
the league would be harmed by this
store game. and we wanted to see the
league so on to success.

Liberty LOAN WORK
COMMITTEE is WORKING ON
WORTH OF CITY INDIVIDUALS
REQUIRE A WEEK.

The Liberty Loan committee for
the city of Madison met last night in
the rooms of the Merchants associa-
tion, and began their work of allot-
ting to each citizen of Madison their
quota of the total of the next Liberty
Loan. The work is similar in char
acter to that of the legal advisory
board or the exemption board for
the military recruiting in that it is
under direction of the government,
and the officers serve under direct
appointment. The work of the com
mittee will probably keep them busy
for a week or more.
The committee is composed of men
of the community who are in a posi-
ton to estimate the present worth of
the individual. The number of them
composing the committee will have
knowledge of every nan in the COM
munity. 1t will first be their duty to
list all names in their district, and
set opposite the names the net worth
of the individual. Then the allott-
ment cards are filled out, with such
information as to the worth, and for
mer subscriptions the men have
made to other things. A total of
this will then indicate the total
wealth of the community. When the
quota for the district is known, it
will be a simple matter of calculation
setting a percent opposite the name
and amount, and figuring the worth
by the rate. The same rate will APP
ply to all. So if a man is rated at
500, 600, and the total wealth Of the
community is $1,0O0.000, and they
desire to raise 100000 in Liberty
bonds, they figure his liability to the
country is 10 per cent, and he would
be expected to buy $4,000 in bonds

busy or too tired to do so. Anyway,
there is laughter over the observa-
tions made.
While there will at first be some
misunderstanding in the practical
applications of the new time, uni
formity will come in a short time
after the date specified. Some, stub
born about their hours of rising and
going to business, will undoubtedly
insist on going to business at the
usual sun hour, and of eating their
meals by the time as shown by the
unchanged clock. But they will get
out of this notion, for railroads, ho-
tells, and all business places will con-
form to the law at once, and it will!
be mighty inconvenient for one or a
few business men to remain closed
until the other business men have
been busy selling goods for an hour.
They'll soon come to the practice of
opening at their usual hour as indi-
Gated by the clocks set according to
the revised time.

BOY RECRUITS
TO JOIN WORKING
RESERVE.

Pierre, March 20.-South Dakota
is to raise a civilian army of 1000
boys this week between the ages of
16 and 81 years. Under the direc-
ton of Ward A. Ostrander, of Brook
ings, state director, the drive started
yesterday to enroll the boys in the
United States boys working reserve
to fill the places of men called for
service in the national army.
School superintendent all over
the state will be enrolling officers.
When a boy enrolls he takes the cath
of allegiance and service and is CIV
en- a certificate with government seal
and a button. By working SO days
of eight hours on a farm or 60 days
of eight hours iii some other essen
tial industry" he gets a federal badge
of honor. There is to be no military
service required and no enrolment
without the parents consent. Boys
can work on their fathers farm and
get credit, or they can supply on
some nearby farm.

Even AS JOSHUA did
BACKWARD, TURN BACKWARD,
OH, TIME-GREAT DEAL OF
DISCUSSION OF EFFECT.

Uncertainty amounting to confu-
sions reigns in the minds of the pub
lie concerning the actual physical act
of regulating the clocks of the u
try on March 81 to conform to the
provisions of the bill recently passed
by congress and signed by the presi-
dent. Men who would be expected to
know better make assertions that the
clocks will be turned back, and news
papers and publications are allowing
the same assertion to find it's way in
to print under their authority. Men
as to the actual thing to be done,
without taking the real object of the
order into consideration, and reason
ing out a solution of the matter.
The object is to save daylight-to
use less artificial light. AT this time
of year there is no light used in the
morning. In the evening lights are
used until the regular hour for retir-
ing. 1t is evident, then, that If one
were to have the hour indicated by
ne CLOCK one muir ldJeT, WHICH
would be obtained by turning the
clock ahead, the evening hours of
daylight would be increased by that
amount. We will quit work when
the clock says 6 o'clock, which by the
sun will be s o'clock. We will retire
at, say, 10 o'clock, which would be
8 o'clock to the man who neglected
to make the change on his timepiece.
1t will be seen that hour of arti-
ficial lighting will have been saved,
and yet the workingman will have
just as long a period of evening
hours as he would If the clock were
left at It's old time, but more of them
will be spent in daylight.
There is considerable fun on the
street today over the matter, and dis
cussion is general-in fact, that is
the one subject for the idler, and an
important one to ever the business
man. The idler does not seem to
have the pep to figure it out, and
probably the business man is too

A petition is being circulated to
day protesting to the city commission
against parking automobiles in the
center of the street, as against
standing them against the curb. Ar
guments of less space at the disposal
of cars and danger to children and
others who make the cars resting
places while waiting, and who are
exposed to liability to being run
down in crossing the clear space be-
tween the center of the street and
the curb, are urged. The circulators
are earnest in their contention, and
are going to present a formidable list
OF names to the city commission at
their meeting on Monday night.
Nothing had been said by citizens
concerning the matter while it stood
merely as a resolution temporary
provision. But upon its being prof
ected as an amendment to the gen.
eral ordinance, with the force and
permanence of an ordinance, popular
opinion took fire, with the result OF
the formal protest.

THE LEGISLATURE
BILL TO LEGALIZE DEFENSE
COUNCH-APPROPRIA-
TIONS TAKEN UP.

Pierre, March 20.-With the gov
errors program as a guide, as out
lined in his address, the special ses-
sion of the South Dakota legislature
today took up in earnest the work of
framing war measures and others no
less urgent, in the hope of compress
ing the session into the least number
of days compatible with careful law
making.
A bill designed to legalize the state
council of defense and comforting
power limited only by the state and
federal constitutions was one of the
first to come before the house and
last night was given its first two
readings. With an emergency clause
attached, the measure calls for an
appropriation of 100000 for the
maintenance of the council and con-
tains a feature whereby the act as a
whole will not be invalidated if it is
found later by the courts that one
clause is unconstitutional. A pro-
vision is made that circuit judges
St1dl lDbut ehbpOVhuNp oh Nh' w
mand of any member Of the state or
county councils created by the act,
and power to investigate any public
official is included. The governor is
made a member of the state council
by the provisions of the bill, with
power to appoint IA associates. all
of whom shall serve without pay, but
with an expense allowance. City,
county and state officials are requir-
ed to cooperate fully, and rules or
orders issued must be published in at
least two newspapers of general cir
culation five days prior to the date
they take effect.
Appropriation bills totaling nearly
$4,000 were introduced last night
and committee bills for placing
health and accident insurance COM
panies under the same regulatory
system as life and fire insurance
companies, for liberalizing the bank
ing laws so that state banks a par
ticipate in the privileges of national
banks, for the control by the bank
ing department of savings associa-
tions, etc, and for ratifying the ma
tional prohibition amendment were
given their first and second read
ings in the house.
The appropriation bills include
$225,O00 for the prison Irvine plant,
$4,000 for the Aberdeen normal
school, $4,000 for the Spearfish nor
NAL and $4,000 for land purchases
in the state forest.
Concurrent resolutions were pre-
sented to confine action to commit
tee bills in order to block any effort
to launch a general legislative pro-
gram. Representative o. A. Swan
son, of Brown county, brought this to
an issue last night in the house by
introducing a resolution "pledging
South Dakota to full cooperation
with the federal government in the
prosecution of the war" Directors
were informed by Speaker A. c. Rob-
erts that he had no power to stop
any members from introducing bills,
nor the house from considering
them. Representative F. b. Pat
terson, of Potter county, called at
@tention to the loyalty resolution OF
the last session, declaring this one
to be unnecessary.

EFFORT throughout the United States.
Happiness Reigned.
One Of the most impressive features
of the pageant was the air of ex-
treme happiness that seemed to sur
round every participant and when It
is considered that practically every
civilized nation on earth was repre-
sented in the procession that marched
down Pennsylvania avenue to the
Capitol last night, democratic prin-
cfples were certainly in the ascend
ency. because 1t was like the parade
of a band of brothers seeking the pro-

be consolidated in a supreme effort

celebration an international affair, Just
as though looking to America as their
