Dr. i. G. Mead of Yankton has
been doing little figuring on the
food production of South Dakota, and
it will not be strange if his conclu-
sions swell the heads of our citizens
q little, in the thought that South
Dakota is the bread basket Of the
world. Following are some of the
Doctors summaries:
South Dakota will produce this
year about $1,000. 600 bushels Of
wheat Using the expectancy basis,
this would support the present popu-
lation of South Dakota, 600, 600. for
the balance of their lives or it would
feed the armies of the allies for one
year. How? Because four bushels
Of wheat means a 10 ounce loaf Of
bread every day in the year and eight
bushels supplies one soldier with 90
ounce loaf of bread every day for
year. therefore 20, 600, 900 bushels
would feed 9, 600, 900 men for year.
Now, allowing $50, 600 bushels of
South Dakota's 1918 wheat produc-
tion for the use of the South Dakota
people for bread and seed for one year
this would leave 62. 500, 900 bushels
to sell at $40 per bushel, which
means $125. 600, 600 Of new money
coming into the state, money without
the slightest suspicion of taint, cr
$1,000 per family, figuring five per-
sons in the state to family.
Now add to this wheat production
the hogs and the meat animals that
South Dakota raises and even if the
rest o. the world quit supplying the
allies with food, South Dakota could
take up the task and "carry on so
far as the staples are concerned. Is
it any wonder then, urges Dr.. Mead,
that this state is regarded as the
bread basket of the world?

Reports are current that many
horses in portions of South Dakota
are dying from forage poison. About
fifty are said to have died near Wes-
sington. A bulletin from the Agri-
cultural College says regarding the
disease:
Gas far as known the cause of the
disease is germ which develops
under favorable weather conditions on
the usual horse feed, j. e. hay, oate,
oat straw. silage, etc. Damp weather
is considered as favorable to the de-
velopment of this germ.
In the outbreaks visited, the out
standing symptoms of affected ami
mails was paralysis of the throat as
indicated by inability to swallow. An
imals so suffering in day or two
make frantic efforts to drink. Their
thirst is intense. The head is plung-
ed into the water until the eyes are
covered. In the stall affected animals
show cerebral depression, assuming
this attitude for hours. They may
lean against the stall or push their
heads against the manger, not show
ing the usual response when spoken
to. The pupils of the eyes are dilat-
ed and eyesight impaired. The death
rate is high.
To prevent ether animals from tax.
ing this disease, which they get on
their routine feed, change of feed
is desirable. Look with suspicion upon
all feeds consumed by the horses pre-
vious to the illness of the first one.
Then substitute with other feeds on
the farm, or better get them from n
area some distance removed. Medical
treatment demands the employment
of dangerous drugs. There is no
household remedy. Call graduate
veterinarian.

A revival of the sorghum industry
is now looming up in the offing, and
from reports that come to US it looks
as though the matter of home produc-
tion was getting back to where it was
twenty years ago. Time was when
there was a sorghum mill in practic-
ally every community. It was a pay
ing investment too. for there was
enough cane raised to keep it busy
during the season. With the regula.
tion Of sugar distribution the people
are looking for substitute, and sor-
ghum comes as near filling the bill as
anything we cap think of. Dakota

Admiral Won Hintz, tha German
foreign secretary, seems to be some
what peeved over the statement of
Lloyd George to the effect that Ger
many has rejected every reasonable
peace proposal. He says:
eat the end of December, 1917
the central powers invited the entente
nations to take part in the Brest- Lii
tovsk peace negotiations with view
to general peace by understanding.
The entente, however, permitted the
period for participation in the negoti-
ations to pass. -
It any thing were needed to con-
vince the entente nations of their wis
dom in declining the gracious invita-
. ton one look at the condition of the
nations that did accept the invitation
would be sufficient. Finland, Ruma-
mia and Ukrania are examples Of na-
tions which put their trust in Prussian
honor, and what is the consequence
Finland which shamefully surrendered
to the Prussian demands with the
promise that her independence would
be respected, has been robbed and
plundered, has now been served with
an ultimatum commanding her to mo-
bllizs IN army to fight for her oppres-
sors, and il now appealing to Ameri-
ca to furnish her food to feed her
starving people. Rumania is starving
and her citizens are practically slaves,
while I'll her food has been stolen By

WOhgEN'S CLUBS help
THE WOME:N'S HOSPITAL

Women's clubs throughout the coun-
try are becoming interested in the
plucky little hospital unit, staffed by
women, which has recently sailed for
France to work behind the lines for
the restoration of women and children.
The Colony Club Of New York city
has donated motor truck, and Soro-
sis, the Oldest incorporated woman's
club in the United States, has given
present to celebrate it's fiftieth birth
day. The present is $4,000 ambu-
lance to go to France with the hospi-
tai unit and run on errands Of kind
ness for the French children and their
mothers. Civitas, large Brooklyn
club, has presented another ambulance
Both bear on their sides the legend,
"Women's Oversee Hospitals, U. S. A.
with the Red Cross and the emblem of
the hospitals.
A fifty bed hospital Will be stationed
behind the lines In one of the most.
devastated areas In France. While it
will be at the call of the French War
Department for the care Of the Mill
tary wounded, it's direct object is to
build up the broken down women and
children who have suffered from lack
of care during the occupation Of their
towns by war forces.
In cablegram received from Doctor:
Finley the dire need Of the French
people for the help to be secured
through the hospital is set forward in
a startling sentence or two-"Great,
need for unit. Civilians taken many;
miles for hospital treatment. Must do
much surgery; need specialists, ambu-
lance service, several dispensaries."
1t will be recalled that the French,
High Commissioner, Monsieur Tardieu,l
was most hospitable to the idea Of the
| unit from the start.

of the Dakota Herold, the German
paper at Sioux Falls, who was recent
ly convicted on charge Of espionage
and is now out on bail pending the
decision on an appeal, has gone to

charge of paper published in the

ChautauQua A
Great Success

With the entertainment on last
Friday evening Kadoka's first
Chautauqua came to close and
the Press is pleased to report that
it was success in every way,
from an entertainment stand
point and also financially. At
the afternoon and evening enter
talnment each day crowds that
exceeded the expectations of the
promoters of the Chautauqua fill
ed the big tent and thoroughly
enjoyed the programs given. On
the first day the Westminster
Entertainers and DR.. George l..
Barker, lecturer, were the enter
tainerS, both afternoon and even
ing and their efforts were appre-
Ciated by the big crowd present
for the opening. Private Allison,
returned war hero of the famous
Scotch Regiment gave a talk both
afternoon and evening of the
second day and drew the largest
crowds of the Chautauqua. His
words were followed closely by
everyone and at no time did in
tereSt drag andafter he had talked
for an hour and a half in the
evening the entire audience was
anxious for him to continue. The
Killarney Trio were the musical
numbers of the second day. For
the closing day an afternoon pro-
gram was given by Cady Metro
politan Orchestra of ten pieces,
and Ray D. Newton, magician;
and the evening entertainment
was given by the Orchestra.
The United Chautauqua Sys-
tenn OF DeS MoineS, Iowa, from
whom the Course was purchased
certainly filled their contract with
the business people of Kadoka,
and sent to us a class of enter
tainerS that was of the very best.
Stamford, Belvidere and Weta
sent large crowds each day and
Interior and the west end of the
county was represented by large
delegations and Kadoka appreci-
ateS the attendance of the people
of our neiQhboring communities
and we will certainly return the
compliments as often as oppor-
tunity affords.
The Chautauqua was a success
and was thought enough of by
the business people of Kadoka
that a provisional contract was
again signed for next year.

More Work For
The Red Cross

The Red Cross Commissions in
France and Italy have sent in a
very large order of hospital gar
mentS and refugee clothing.
There were eighty kinds of ar
ticleS called for by the two Com
missions and it seemed inadvis-
able to allot proportion of every
kind OF articles to each division.
Instead, each division has been
allotted an assortment of articles
Following, is the allotment re-
Celved, from our Minneapolis
headquarters. for Jackson County
Chapter for July and August.
100 PajamaS.
100 Hospital undershirts.
200 Boys shirts, size l4-years.
100 Women'S chemise, size SO.
200 PinafereS, 8 yrs.
This makes an allotment of
700 garments to be made during
the next two months.
The women and children need
clothing, and, through the organ
ization of the Red Cross they will
get relief, and it means a lot of
sewing to be done, so each and
every one of us must help.
The local Chapter has a new
electric sewing machine installed
in the work room. If you can't
come to the work room and sew,
you can take work home and do
it there. But we all must help.
