WILL YOU WORK.


ches, La, from one of your boys
now fighting in France, appealing
personally to the town to do a
certain thing easily within your
power, and assuring you the army
may be unable to win unless you
do this-if that call came you'd
shut no shop and every man, wO-
man and child would be working
on that job, whatever 1t might be!
If America fails to produce food
that appeal, literally will come to
every community in the nation. If
NachltocheS isn't sure of its food
production, that appeal is appli-
cable right now! To be sure of
the food production means to have
a sufficient farm labor supply, and
to have q sufficient farm labor sup
ply means that town people must
work on farms in the county for q
few days at a time, or longer Pc
RODS, if necessary, during the rush
seasons of cultivation and harvest.
In every county and commune
ty the emergency farm labor needs
must be supplied locally-bv town
volunteers and high school boys,
by forcing all idle to 90 to work,
by applying to agriculture the eff
fort used IN non essential work,
work that doesn't help win the
war.
oh" you may say, this is
just one little town. just one coun-
ty, and the small amount of food
we produce. compared with the
nation, can't amount to much, one
way or the other" But if other
towns and counties all oyer Louis
lana say that, it will mean that
Louisiana will fail in maximum
food production; If in other states
the same thing is said, those states
will fail; and even if a few states
fail, the results may be serious. 1t
is perilous for any community to
fail.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
SUGGESTS TO FARMERS

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct 22.-On account
of the shortage of labor, shortage of cars
for transportation, shortage or freezing
space, and storage that is being used for
freezing meats to be shipped to our SOL
diers and Allies abroad and to prevent
possible waste, the Poultry Section of
the Food Administration is issuing the
following suggestions to the farmers
First. Mecket only the we'll matured
birds, leaving the others on the farm to
grow and increase the amount of poultry
flesh.
Second. Whenever practicable hold
as many birds as possible on the farm
until January lst, in order to relieve the
freezer situation.
Third. Keep all pullets for egg pro-
duction this winter and next spring.
Fourth. Market turkeys intended for
Thanksgiving about the middle of No
vember, holding the balance until De.
cember, as usually large per cent oi
turkeys are not used for Thanksgiving
and must be placed in cold storage
rooms for which this year are unayail
able,

STRONG MEN NEEDED.

Never IN the history Of this nation has
the above statement been so absolutely
true. Never in the life Of this nation
has there been such an upheayal Of con.
ditions-politicaI, social and economic
We are facing the Reconstruction period
which must follow this war and which
in its own way is Just as vital to the life
and success of tins great Democracy as
is the winning OF the war. 1t is up tc
each locality, however large or small, 10
do its part toward the Reconstruction
work and the time is at hand for action.
| In short time We will vote into office
the men, who in lesser or greater de-
gree will have it in their power to make
or break the nation. Nowhere will this
be so true as in our State Legislatures
and our National Congress. In our own
particular locality we have a candidate
for the State Senate who is in every re-
spect eminently well qualified to accom-
pish the work which will be his to do
as the representative OF the 4lst Sena-
torial District consisting of Custer and
Fall River Counties. Mr.. Percy II.
Helm is a prominent and able lawyer
who has made his home in Custer City
for number of years but who is widely
known throughout the State especially
the western part where he has practiced
law in various localities. Aside from his
knowledge of law, Mr. Helm is broad
minded practical thinker Of wide infor-
nation and experience, with a keen dis
eliminating mind-a man who will not
burden the people of South Dakota with
lot of foolish, unnecessary expensive
legislation nor permit others to do so.
Mr. Helm is thoroughly informed as to
the various interests and needs of Fall
River and Custer counties, especially the
Soldiers Home and tuberculosis Sana-
torium, and no stronger advocate could
be found to represent the various inter
ests and institutions at Pierre next win.
ter. Strong men are needed to serve
the country but loyalty must be the
acid test. Mr., Helm is 100 per cent.
American and has never lost an oppor-
tunity to go "over the top to prove it
by giving freely and generously of time,
money and personal service.

TURN FORWARD,

NOT BACkW WARD,
No retrograde movement for the Unit
ed States Government. This country
goes ahead in peace, and war and every
other kind of action, so when the change
of time under the daylight saving law
becomes effective during the night of
Saturday, October Goth, the clocks will
be turned forward IL hours, instead of
back one hour.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany, which is controlled by the Gov
ernment, through the Postmaster Gen
eral, has issued instructions for the
change, to all its clock subscribers, so in
reality, it is the voice of the Government
speaking. 1t says to set the clock at a.
m. Sunday morning, October 9th, which
is the same thing as Saturday night.
The instructions say
Make the adjustment on an even hour
by moving the minute hand forward
around the dial IL times. Move the
hand fairly rapidly to avoid it being out
of synchronizing range when the change
has been made. Do not under any cir
cumstances attempt to move the hands
backward. Do not attempt the change
by moving the hour hand. Move min
ute hand only. BE careful not to move
the clock out of plumb as this will inter
fere with the swing of the pendulum
Do not delegate this function to an ire
sponsible subordinate.

medical care and skill possible, will
careful nursing, but in vain The cause
of bis death was An@mia.
