by law
so far as these subsidiary COM
ranies are concerned. We are not shown
that the last clause in the latter
quotation adds anything to the pur-
poses stated in the preceding clauses;
the preceding ones include all of the
lawful purposes for which any OF these
companies appears to be authorized by
law to Issue stocks or bonds.
THE fact that expenditures have
been made for any of these purposes
does not necessarily justify the :ssj.c
OF stocks or bonds to reimburse the
treasury, although it is a very strong
circumstance. 1t may be that all of
some part of such expenditures may
properly be made from accumulated
surplus or from current income or
that they are a re-inves,men: OF ce-
probation or sinking funds. The law
says that the capital SO procured must
be required" for one of these pur-
poses. and some significance will be
given that word. What is meant will
be more apparent as the specific p,lr-
poses disclosed iii some of these cases
are discussed. In any event. funds
once invested in the plant should not
be reimbursed through capital issues
unless the purpose to which they are
TO be devoted just1ies-the mere fact
Of the investment is not enough.

DRAG The CORN AFTER PLANTING

After planting corn we find
that it is we'll worth while to
drag the ground again. This
serves to cover up the marks so
that the gophers can not follow
them and take out the corn. It
also will kill many weeds that
are just starting and aid further
in warming mp the soil for the
benefit of the young corn plants.
If this is done it will prevent
blind cultivation, but we find
that blind cultivation is not nee

registration for Haakon county
is at Philip, South Dakota, at the
City Hall, between the hours of
Z o'clock a. m, and z o'clock p.

1918.
Registration must be made by
personal appearance before the
board at the time and place
specified. One who, on account
of sickness is unable to present
himself to the board, will cause
some competent person to apply
to the board for a copy of the

instructions will be given.

Chapter than Haakon county.
Kadoka had a good sale, but it
was conducted purely as a coun-
ty sale. Ours was a branch sale.
Voluntary contributions came
from outside, for which we are
grateful. but no contribution was
solicited except from members
of the Philip branch. The fair
basis of comparison is of the two
counties either upon basis of
their assessed valuation or upon
basis of their population. In the

RED
CROSS
NEWS

From a list of donations that
we have seen it appears that the
Elwood branch will have fine
sale on Decoration Day, May 80,
at Mike Feeney's ranch. The
branch must be advertising two
or three thousand dollars worth
of live stock for sale. There
should be a big attendance; for
we predict that it will be the
biggest Red Cross sale ever held
fifty miles from railroad in the
United States.
The public sale at Midland on
last Saturday was a great one.
The total proceeds from every
thing was about $500. Not
many towns in the whole country
the size of Midland can make
such a showing, we doubt if
there is another one. Indeed,
we may say, without the least
intention of starting anything,
that we know a town that puts
on some airs as the Capital City
of a great state that was not able
to make the showing that Mid
land made.
On Monday the Haakon county
chapter made the largest month
ly shipment from Philip to Min
neapolis that it was ever made.
Here is the list: 10 hospital bed
shirts, ITO pajama suits, &c pairs
socks, l3 sweaters, two pairs.
wristlests, ten handkerchiefs for
Belgian women. 20 hand towels,
one bath towel, 81 tea towels, 80
hospital bags, five wash cloths,
one knitted baby afagan, and
five pairs bed socks. There were
hve big boxes or the Shipments,
and it kept severalof our women
folks busy most of the day get
ting the shipment packed.
Although we are not able to
report the list of officers, we un-
stand that a new branch was
organized in the Marietta

Saturday. This will make us
eighteen branches in the county.

We are authorized to state that the

Cotton Oil company made a careful

The company will contract for the

plant to be erected at once after the
latest approved government plans.
The company will contract with
growers of sweet potatoes for their
entire output at prices that will net
both the grower and the company a
fair margin.
We congratulate this company for
their progressive step, realizing the
great value that such a plant will be
in aiding in conserving a source of
food supply which, under the old
method, has been subject to such
great wastage through rot, etc. The
company will buy the potatoes out
right and market them on their own
account.
