Did This Ever Happen to Your

A North side club woman, promi-
nent in d. A. r. and other circles, went
picnicking with a group of friends on
the Fourth Of July. In the course of
the day one of the other women lost
her handkerchief, and the d. A. r.
member generously lent an extra one
A few days ago the handkerchief was
returned by the borrower. 1t was q
daintily embroidered square with
hearts and flowers intertwined with
the letter "W."
ThereSare no "W's" in the family Of
the D. A. r. woman. She took 1t with
some surprise and said, "Why, that
isn't my handkerchief"
II know 1t isn't" was the quick re-
ply. "But it's the one that you lent

SUGAR BOWL MORE GENEROUS.

According to advice from Mr.. Hoover,
commencing November LIST, the sugar
allotments will be three pounds per per-
son per month and for all public eating
places, at the rate of three pounds for 90
meals
This change is due to the rapid manu-
facture of the new crop Of beet sugar in
the west and the new crop of Louisiana
cane sugar in the south, together with
the freer railway transportation condi-
tions. The reductions that we have
made in the consumption in the past
four months enables us to increase the
household allowance of sugar from two
pounds per person per month TO three
Accordingly, MIR, Herried instructed
all retailers to make sales on the sugar
card system at the rate of three pounds
per person from November lst

REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Republicans Elect State and County Off
GERS BY Large Majorities Candy
Leads for Congress,

Election day passed of very quietly
and the returns from every precinct in
the county show that the republicans
have elected all of their ticket, and gave
good majorities for United States senator
and the republican state ticket
In Custer there was but little effort
made on the part of the candidates Of
either party to make a strong fight, al
though there was considerable hustlng
INDUCED in on the part Of some of the
candidates as the tabuated vote pub
lished elsewhere in this issue will show.
All but one of the constitutional amend
ments carried in the county, as well as
the Proposed Peoples Election Law,
known as the Richards primary law.
The latter carried by majority of 232
Custer cast lS0 votes, a larger number
than was supposed would be cast on ac-
count of the quarantine.
Unofficial returns from Fall River
county on state senator give Helm 55S,
McAdam 4l2, and Westover 81. In
Custer county Helm received All, Me
Adam 292, and Westoyer l07. Helms
majority in the district is p.
Candy carried the county by major

ANOTHER LIBERTY

LOAN COMING.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has
announced that no matter what the re-
suits of the pending oyertures for peace
may be, there will be another Liberty
Loan, To use his expression, "We are
going to have to finance peace for
while just as we have had to finance
war"
There are over 100000 United States
soldiers abroad. If we transport these
men back to the United States at the
rate of 300,0 900 a month, it will be oyer
half year before they are all returned.
Our Army, therefore, must be maintain
ed, victuaed, and clothed for many
months after peace is an actuality.
The American people, therefore hav-
ing supported the Liberty Loan with
patriotism that future historians will
love to extol, will have an opportunity
to show the same patriotism in financing
the just and conclusive victorious peace
whenever it comes.
Not for a moment, however, is the
Treasury acting on any assumption that
peace is to come soon. Until peace is
actually assured the attitude of the
Treasury and the attitude Of the whole
United States Government is for the
most vigorous prosecution of the war,
and the motto of force against Germany
uithout stint or limit will he acted mn IN
until peace is an absolute accomplished
fact.
One more Liberty Loan, at least, is
certain. The fourth loan was popularity
called the Fighting Loan" the next
loan may be fighting loan, too, or it
may be peace loan. Whatever the
conditions, the loan must be prepared
for and its success rendered certain and
absolute. Begin now to prepare to sup
port it.

STATE SCHOOL FUND
Million and a Quarter Dollars to be Dis
tributed to Common Schools of the
State in December

Pierre, Oct, 30.--A million and a quar-
ter dollars is practically the outlook for
the annual distribution of common
school funds to the different schools of
the state the first Of December. This
means in another way that on that date
the different school districts will get
from the state fund 1878 for each pupil
of school age within their respective
districts
This shows large gain over that last
year for several reasons, one being the
increase in rental prices of state lands,
which are going up every year. Com
missioner n. L. knight has taken
special interest in the matter of securing
leases on the state school lands with the
result that over 80 per cent Of such land
is under lease for this year.
In addition to the amount, in figures
of 81, 223, 736, which will go to the com.
mon schools of the state, there will also
be added enough in the funds dstribut.
ed to the higher educational institutions
of the state to bring the total paid for
education from that department for the
past year 81 357, 600 or close to million
and half which is an increase of more
than Sl25,000 over the distributions of
the preceding year

VIRTUAL END OF WAR

Paris, Nov. g. The greatest war of all
time came to an end at p. m. today.
The allies and Germany signed an armis.
tice at IL a. m. on the field of battle.
The German delegation had gone into
the allied lines under white flag.
Sedan, one of the historic cities in
Europe, was captured by the Americans
this morning, after an additional ad-
vance of more than fous miles, before
the truce was signed
As Marshal Foch's terms are known
to include provisions which will prevent
resumption of hostilities, the war is
over.
At the time the document was signed,
the allied armies were slashing forward
on a l50-mile front from the Scheldt to
the Meuse, tearing the German defenses
to pieces and driving the enemy in utter
rout
Before the terms were submitted TO
Germany, the kaiser's ENJOYS were
forced to apply to Marshal Foch and
Admiral Wemyss as military and naval
representatives of the Allies under a flag
of truce.
While virtual peace was thus being
concluded, Germany was in the throes
of an ncipient revolution at home. A
revolt of sailors at Kiel had spread
through Schleswig- g-Ilolstein, and several
large cities were reported to be in the
hands of the revoluti0nists
Armistice Not Yet Signed.
Dispatches dated November 7th state
the armistice had not yet been signed,
but may result in stopping the war on
that date

Sales in 10 Counties.

During the spring Of 1918, the depart
ment under the personal supervision of
Commissioner knight, held sales in l6
counties Of the state selling over 1000
acres, at an average price of $54 an acre.
More than one-fourth the purchase price
paid in cash. These payments, with the
collections on deferred payments brought
to the permanent fund 81, 767, 600 for the
year and this has been loaned out on
farm mortgages, county school and mum
icipal bonds in the state.
The sales for this year were the heavi-
est ever made in any one year, and
brought the total of the permanent
school fund up to Sl7, 7,545, ,322. This great
volume of business is handled by a com
paratively small force of people and can
only be so handled on account Of the
well formulated laws governing the
handling of the fund. These laws lot
only allow easy handling of the fund,
but also safeguard them in every way
against speculation of any character,
which would open the way for material
loss to the people Of the state, as under
the constitutional requirement any loss
to this fund must be made good by gem
eral taxation.
The new law of 1915 governing the
placing ofimprovements upon state lands
is working out well, and gives the far
mer and stockman better and more
definite proposition in leasing land.
Commissioner knight credits this law
with the increasing leasing list, and at
the same time saving the expense OF
looking after the Unbiased lands which
would not have been taken without the
privilege given under that law.
