Good Meetings.

Mr.. P. J. Dougherty state rail-
road commissioner Of Pierre, spoke
at Troy and Strandburg in the af-
ternoon and Stockholm in the even
ing last Friday.
His speeches even of a political
nature, and attendance was small
but those who were present seemed
to be we'll pleased with the honest
and fair manner in which he hand
led his subject. Mr.. Dougherty,
unlike many speakers of to-day, is
reported to have given facts with
out deeming it necessary to abuse
everybody not agreeing with him
or his ideas, and his speeches even
more of heart to heart talks than
Of the Spread Eagle" style and
undoubtedly will have a tendancy
to place some in the mood Of in
vestigation who have been hereto
fore in doubt. Mr.. Dougherty's $
idea seems TO be that it is much
better to appeal to a mans reason
than to his prejudicy.
C. S. Amsden, w. S. Nixson, S.
S. Lockhart and Joseph Hedman Of
this city were among those present
at the meeting Friday evening.

dressed to Herbert Hoover:
The conference Of twelve hum
dred thresherman Of South Dakota,
and the food administrators, under
the chairmanship Of Governor Her
reid, send cordial greetings to Mr..
Hoover. We pledge our loyal, de-
voted effort toward feeding the
hungry world, and in carrying the
cause Of human liberty toward 4
glorious victory"
They also adopted the following
resolutions: s
In the conference Of throGhsfmen
with Federal Food AdnhtulseratOr
Herreid, held in Aberdssn tliiI 5th
day Of July, 1918. w pledge earn
est. active cooperation with the
food administrators, national, state.
county and local, thas none Of tho
grain so vitality needed may be lose
from the cause Ia which we have
our boys and our hearts enlisted.
We endorse the suggestions BY
the Administrator for saving time
and fuel and grain. We are for
them, and as committeeman Of the
food administration, we will exert
our active influence in our own ef-
forts and with others. to save waste
and give the best that can be brot
out from our work.
We believe these specific SUCCESS
tions should be carefully followed:
First-In weighing grain. exact
standard weight should be given
for each, no more and no less.
Second-There should be tight
bottoms of lumber or canvas In
every rack for carrying grain.
Rakings and cleanings should be
saved and not neglected either BY
the thresher or the farmer, which,
ever may do it to the best advant-
age.
Third-No smoking should be a.
lowed within fifty feet ct the sepa-
rator or stack, and spark arrestors
should be approved wherever need
ed. s
As other suggestions, we feel.
that:
Threshers should immediately
get any needed repairs and put
their machines into condition.
Delays may be disastrous.
They can to advantage secure
help through the county agents and
the employment service maintained
by the Federal Department Of La
Dor, with the state cooperating.
They are required to keep in
touch with the county board and to
report returns from their machines.
They must keep proper records.
We recommend that the state
Council of Defense investigate
wages for farm and thresher help,
and II it seems necessary, to stand
ardize the prices at Tive and let
live rates.
We have prodted BY the excel
lent addresses given us. and wish
to thank the speakers and those who
have extended the courtesies Of this
meeting. We feel anew our re-
possibilities, and . - expect our
soldiers to ''go over the top II
France, We agree to ''go over tha
top here.-Food and War Bullitin
