TWENTY YEARS AGO
Items Taken from The Daily
Leader Files.

S. S. Torbert and wife, of Andover,
arrived today to spend the rest OF the
winter with their son, Brakeman
VIM. Torbert.
The ladies of the Rebekah lodge
gave a ''cobweb" social in the I. o.
o. +. rooms last night at which about
100 were present. The gentlemen
had a knotty problem unweaving the
web, but turned the tables on the
ladies in elegant shape afterward by
weaving a web of monstrous meshes
OF stout cord and %entrapping many of
the 'spooney" couples. The present
alton of a curry comb to a prominent
lady of the order also cut quite a fig
ure on a ~gentleman's head.
The young mems supper at the
Presbyterian church last night was
quite a dainty affair and well patron
lied. the young gentlemen realizing
about SIS. The high school orches-
ira furnished delightful music which
is deserving of notice. This band
consists of Geo. r. Waters. director
and first cornet; Geo. Chaphe and
Bruce McCallister, first violins: leila
Webster, second violin; Clayton Ball,
clarinet: Chas. Ball, second cornet:
Earl Bell, trombone; Bessie Waters,
piano.

NEY HAS CASE AGAINST GER
MAN PUBLISHERS.

Aberdeen, Feb. 5.-The suspension

appointment of e. b. Harkin, city at
torney Of Aberdeen, and a colonel in
the South Dakota home guards, as as
sistant United States district attorney

Presse; j. F. Paul Gross. editor of
the papers,; Conrad Kornemann, of
Sioux Falls. publisher of the Deut-
scher Herold, and Walter Heynacher,

getting the evidence against the ac-
cused i'm shape for United States At
torney Robert w. Stewart when the
case comes up for trial at the May
term of federal court.
j. +. Paul Gross is the only n of
the quartet still remaining in Jail.
Gross bond is but $4,000. while the
bonds of Kornemann and Heynacher
were $40. 900. and that of Sallet S.

release that he would at once proceed
to furnish bond for his employe. but
this was not done. The Neue Deut-
sche Presse had a large circulation
among German Russians. Its sub
scription list has been transferred to
the Dakota Freie Presse. Sallet's 9TH

BABY BURNED
SHEEP HERDER'S WAGON BURNS
MOTHER REsCUES ONE.

Pierre, Feb. 5.-The death of one
child and severe burns on another re-
suited from a fire in a sheep wagon
on the Brantley ranch near Belle
Fourche. The family lived in the
wagon a portion of the time while
looking after a herd of sheep, and
while both the parents were absent
from the wagon for a short time il in
some way caught fire. The mother
was first to discover the fire and
rushed to the wagon and succeeded
in getting out a 4-year-old son, who
was suffering from severe burns, and
got out the body of her baby. but not
until ii had been suffocated from the
smoke which filled the wagon. AS
soon as the vehicle was opened up it
burst into flames, and was destroyed
with the contents.

FALSE PRETENSES
CONTRACTOR ALLEGED TO HAVE
GONE WRONG.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 5.-H. p. Ellmen-
dinger, a former contractor of this
city, was arrested in louisiana and
returned here to answer a charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Ellmendinger came to Sioux
Falls three years ago and began bust
ness as a contractor. Upon complet-
ing a house he asked the owner for a
settlement, showing receipts in full
for all the materials he had used.
The money was paid Ellmendinger,
who left the city.
In a few days it developed that the
receipts he had shown were forgeries.
IL is alleged. and the owner was OBJ
liged TO pay out yer $1,000 to deal
ers who had furnished the materials
for the house. A warrant was issued
and Ellmendinger was traced to Illi-
nois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and
finally to Louisiana before he was
found. He had evaded the law for
nearly Is months. He returned to
Sioux Falls without requisition pa
pers.

VOCATIONAL PLAN


Pierre, Feb. 5.-The board gener-
al educational training, held a meet
ing in this state to outline work of vo-
cational training under the provisions
of the joint acts of congress and the
state for carrying on the work in
most of its features, it did not make
any financial provision. and to meet
the requirements or the federal law.
q sun equal to the federal appropria-
tion must be provided by the state,
and this will be met out of the main
tenance funds of the institutions af-
fected. Under the regulations and re-
quirements of the federal law, the
only state schools in South Dakota
which will meet the requirements of
training of teachers in agriculture
and in home economics are the State
college of agriculture at Brookings
and the State university at Vermil-
lion. the former being in position for
both courses, and the latter in the
economies classes.
Outside of this training. any COM
munity can secure funds from the
federal vocational board, where they
will put in a four-year vocational
course as a part of their educational
work, the requirements being the
fo%ur-year course, and IN equal sum
provided by the community to meet
the money appropriated by the fed
eral government.
The amount due the state under
the provisions of the Smith, Hughes
act is about $1,000, this based on
school population of the state, and a
like sum be provided by the state,
making the total amount available

KHAKI.CLAD BOYS
YANKEE UNIFORM NOT STRIKING
PORTUGUESE TAKE THE
BEAUTY PRIZE.

London, Feb. 5.-The American
young lady who carries a vision of a
khaki-clad young crusader radiating
glory wherever he appears, may be
appalled, to learn that the American
soldier is m of the least magnifi-
cent, SO far as uniform goes, in
France.
The beauty prize goes to the Portu-
guese who have a well-fitting eos
tune" that approaches lavender in
color. Most of the Portuguese APP
pear to be officers, and the sight of a
cluster of them on a stroll back of the
lines is something to be remembered.
The red ribbon goes to the sky blue
uniform of the French, who would be
expected to produce something at once
attractive and unitarian. Some
times the officers wear scarlet
breeches. If the Italians were in
France they would be entitled to a
close third, but the position goes to
the Belgians who wear khaki brown
with red stripes and red tassled,
brimless hats.
The British Tommy and the Amer
lean, also in khaki brown. tie for the
next position, the award probably go
ing to Mr.. Atkins because of his
brass buttons and the superior full
ness of his uniform. Side by side,
the two would make a good illustra-
ton for a soap advertisement, the
American soldier saying, II wish my
Uncle Sam would use non-shrinking
soap"
Far beneath all others, as he is in
war aims, is the boche. He looks, as
he has always looked, like a sack of
clods. 1t is symbolical that the ugli-
est deeds should be committed in the
only atrocious uniform in France and
that the German doctrine of the sub
ordination of the individual to the
glory of the feudal kaiser should
work itself out in clothing the athlet-
lie German body in ungainly p%eniten-
tiary regalias.

HIGH TOPS DOOMED
SEVEN INCHES TO BE THE FASH.
IONABLE HEIGHT FOR SHOE
TOPS THIS YEAR.

st. Louis, Feb. 4.-Despite an es-
tablished law of fashion which de-
crees that skirts which retreat up
ward shall be accompanied by shoes
with tops of corresponding elevation,
manufacturers of footwear in st.
Louis assert this years styles will re-
fleet the true spirit of war conserva-
tion and that leather economy will
be severely practiced.
Taboo are the shoes with fifteen
inch tops. Gone are the shoes made
from leather imported at great cost
Instead, the manufacturers are pre-
pairing to place on the market shoes
with tops not exceeding nine inches
and with seven inches as the pre-
vailing style. Fabrics are being used
to replace the fancy feathers that for
years have been brought from the
four of the world to add va
riety to footwear creations. And in
keeping with this practice of econo-
my, few colors will be put on the
market; two tans, two grays, one
white and one black being the colors
generally accepted for use. And that
conservation may be pressed further,
retailers have been asked to sell low
cut shoes or oxfords for summer
wear.
This radical departure from the
practices of a year ago comes as the
result of a recent meeting Of the Unit
ed Shoe Retailers in Chicago, when
present needs were outlined by abe
national Commercial Economy board
A program of conservation was map.
