The Pathessope is in no sense a toy or an experiment.
It is a perfect motion picture machine in simplfied forr-
light enough to be carried in a suit case; requiring no booth
and positively fire proof, being accepted and endorsed by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters. Pathe controls % per-
cent of the educational reels in the world. They are made
for the Pathescope apd number already more than 10000.
Churches are buying The machines everywhere and teaching
the children by picture the bible stories of the Christ. The
school board of New York adopted them some time ago and
has Just recently ordered fourteen more machines. One of
Chicagos best known corporations sold &S00O worth Of its
product through a Patheseope motion picture shown at offices
and conventions. Over 10000 Of the machines are already
in use and scores of new ones going into use daily. The
Hershey Chocolate company uses nine Pathescopes; the Beld-
ing Silk company six; the Barber Asphalt ten and scores of
other concerns from one to eight each Private homes by
the hundreds have purchased them, and the day is not far
distant when well-to-do people will no longer patronin the
public picture houses any more than they do the public dance
halls today, but will have their own protector as one has
ones Nicuoa and chosen records today.

PRoFITsl MILLIONS IN THE PATHEsCoPE

1t doesn't take a smart mar to see that the Pathescope is
surely destined to be a million maker. 1t supplies a great need
in a universal way; simple safe; practical; cheap. Four great
sourcesof profits-and each one helps the other. First, we sell
the machines at a big profit Reels cost us $50 each, and bring
year, and a profit of $3.50 each year thereafter, For every
1000 reels rented gross profits would amount nearly to $4,000
on an investment OF $4,000. Think of it, But this is only one
phase of the business, The sale of Pathescope filming cameras
at big profits and the filming of industries both represent big
proft-making opportunities,

OBJECT OF REGISTRATION

Provost Marshal General Crowder,
reporting TO congress ON the progress
of the draft. expresses for the first
time a detnit" promise and aim Of
the government not to take for army
duty any other men than those listed
in class l of the new draft question
naire. This classification excludes
married men entirely whose wives or
families are dependent on them for
support and other men with depend
ents. General Crowder does this on
the estimate that 1000. 900 men phys
ically fit for army duty will be avail
able from class l. This number he
thinks sufficient for the present mill
tary needs of the nation. hut to as
sure the future supply for those needs
he recommends that men who have
become 81 years Of age since June 5,
1917, (the first draft and who be
come Of age hereafter shall be added
to class l as they become available.
This will insure. the general estimates,
a supply OF zoe, 900 men a year.
General Crowder outlines the new
policy In this language:
"Whether this guess q, 900, 0G0
available men) be justified in practice
or not It can be announced now as the
policy and belief OF this Office that in
all probabilities it will be possible to
ing any class more deferred than class
/, and this is the promise. the stand
ard and the goal. here for the first
time announced. toward which every
administrative effort Of this office
shall be directed"

CONGRESSMAN JOHNSON SAYS

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Royal e. Johnson. and he
is entitled that the public should
know why he enlisted in the army;
January /, 191S.-Dear Friend: BY
the time you receive this letter | shall
be in the army. My action requires
no explanation except for the fact that
| am your representative, and you
should be informed of my arrange
ments for handling any official busi-
ness which you now have, or may lat
er have with me. You will readily IN
derstand that it is impossible in the
limited time left for me to write per
sonally to each friend and constituent
relative to this matter.
All letters addressed to me at Wash

other official business will receive i'm
mediate attention as if | were person
ally present. Although my salary. rs

someone in my office to attend to Such
matters, and cases requiring special
attention Will be turned ever to other
members of the delegation who have
generously volunteered to assist me
in this way. have turned over the
seed allotment for the second district
to the State Council Of National Dc
Tense, which will see hat none are
wasted, and your county chairman OF
that body will see to the distribution
in your county.
In my opinion, this war will con
tinue until 1919, and it is the duty OF
every man to serve his country where
he can render best service. Particu
larly is it my duty to go where my
vote has helped to send other men
Anyone with a sense Of personal re.
sponsibility ought to be willing to dc
his share of his own fighting, and
expect to do mine.
Permit me to say that your con
tinued kindness and courtesy to me
will never be forgotten, and hope
that sometime We may meet again.
Sincerely yours.

work:
THE Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense is the di-
rort channel through which the GOV

United States. The organization ear
rios out only the work as mapped out

OF NE work Of the woman's committee
are. Registration for service. food
production and home economies; food
Administration women in industry
child welfare; maintaining eXistine
social service agencies; safeguarding
moral and spiritual forces; education

Gross and allied relief. One of the
big things which South Dakota has
to offer is its products of grain and
wheat. In regard to this the second
thing to consider is the conservation
of il. and to realize on the value to
our country of the grain and beef by
South Dakota women using subSti-
tutes. Education along this line is to
be one OF the big factors Of our work.

be accomplished by closing the ashpit
damper and opening the check damp
er in the smoke pipe. The check
damper should never be opened until
the ashpit damper is closed. The
shut-off damper in the smoke pipe
may be partially closed, in the case
of an unusually strong draft, or to
check the fire in mild weather; but as
a rule, this damper should be touched
very seldom, Never check by leaving
the firing door open.
"S. Before feeding a furnace see
that that the shut-off damper in the
pipe is open, and close the check
damper. This prevents the escape OF
dust through the feeding door into
the cellar.
80. Keep the ashpit empty. Ashes
banked up under the CRATE prevent
necessary air circulation, hinder com
bustion and tend to warp the CRATE
bars. Remove ashes at least once
daily, and be sure to sift all ashes to
recover the good coal that has dropped
through the crate.
40. Serious fuel wastes result from
allowing SCOT or ashes to be deposited
on the interior heating surfaces. This
prevents utilization of the heat in the
smoke and gases. Clean f1ues fro
~quently; with soft coal, every other
day is none too often to give the fur
nace a brushing down. One-eiehth
inch of ashes and 500 on boiler sur
faces retards heat transfers % per

al. Careful sealing Of a house by
means of weather strips, double win,
dows, etc, result in a material saving
of fuel. Don't forget, however, that
If the basement walls are alright,
provision must be made for an ample
supply of air for combustion. Lack
of air results in a sluggish fire"

CONSERVING COAL

authoritative publication on the coal
question:
Il. Don't burn in an open CRATE, for
in such practice IS per cent or more
of the heat goes up the chimney,
80. 1t isn't necessary to have every
room heated. Close off spare rooms.
"3. Examine furnace and see that
there are no cracks at floor line, to
permit air leakage into ash pit. Make
sure that all firing, ashpit and clean
out doors are alright when closed.
"a, Fndeavor to keep the entire fuel
space of your range or furnace filled,
heaping the coal slightly in the cen
ter. Steam or hot water boilers should
be filled so that the coal is level with
the bottom Of the feed door opening.
Don't let the fuel bed burn down too

IS. Feed the fire and shake the
CRATE at regular intervals. Two or
three times daily are generally suf-
fcient. unless the plant is inadequate
for the service required, Frequent
feeding and shaking are economical.
Shake down the ashes before adding
fresh coal, and stop shaking the mo-

omen damper in the ashpit and add a
small quantity of coal. In this par

until the fresh coal is we'll ignited;
then shake down the ashes and again
add fuel.
81. Don't leave feed door drafts

PLAN SPRING WORK NOW

Plans for the large successful waI
drives are made long in advance. Can.
not we plan our next years drive on
the farm right now-plans that really
get the work done, not plans that are
mere wishes?
AS we make our plans let Us hau'
out our manure this winter. That
paid hired man won't have to do il
next spring.
Have we cattle enough to eat al
of our roughage this winter? Posi-
bly, some neighbor has too many this
winter and we have the feed to take
care of a few more. One farmer fed
$500 worth of heretofore worthless
feed to 40 head Of cattle last year
Won't a few acres Of alfalfa make
our business safer and pay a larger
dividend as pasture for the hogs?
Have you thought hat the extra q
probation of our machinery standina
outside each year would pay for q
good machine shed IN six years.
Several of our most successful
farmers are spending a month or more
each winter in studying their farm
business and making plans for thf
years work. They say it pays. It
cuts down labor expense, horse work
ing expense and other items.-W. \

HARMFUL STATEMENTS

The finances Of the whole country,
public as well as private. by force Of
the national needs at this crisis are
subordinated and adjusted to the great
Liberty Loan. Financing by rail
roads or other great industries and
all lesser private financing must Oe
considered primarily in relation to the
government loans.
The needs of private interests, the
the country as well as that of the gov
eminent itself are all considered by
the secretary Of the treasury in fixing
the amount and date Of each issue Of
Liberty Loan Bonds, and the effect Of
the issue Of bonds on all other secur-
tiles and all other loans is given due
consideration.
The dissemination, therefore, OF un-
true information, even when made in
honest belief and with good intention,
is harmful, and Secretary McAdoo on
December 90 issued the following
strong statement:
'"The report that the next issue of
Liberty Bonds will be IS, 200, 900 900 at
Az per cent and on March Is, 1913, is
wholly ~unfounded. wish | could
make the patriotic newspaper men of
America realize how mischievous ana
hurtful to the interests of the coun-
try such speculative statements are.
When a decision has been reached
about the next Liberty Loan, it viii
be officially announced. Meanwhile,
all other statements and rumors may
be disregarded."
