Loyalty Meeting

A loyalty meeting was announced
by hand bill for Thursday evening
last week at the commercial club
rooms, and as everything with the
ring of loyalty nowadays has the
right Of way, there was q good turn
out and lots Of enthusiasm in the
crowd. Senator C. S. Amsden was
called to the chair and Chas. E..
Williams made secretary Of the
meeting. The former stated that
as he understood it the meeting
was called by q self constituted COM
mittee who believed that the
patriotism and loyalty of the
community should be made mani
fest in some properly organized
form, 80 that If there were those
who were disloyal in the community
it would be made manifest and sus-
picion would be removed where it
was unjustly entertained. Stirring
speeches were made by a number
Of those present, and the necessity
for an enthusiastic unity in support
OF the government was brought out
in the several talks.
1t was moved and carried that q
committee of five be appointed by
the chair to constitute q permanent
organization.
1t was also resolved that book be
obtained and q pledge of loyalty be
made by those present signing the
same, the book to be kept in the
Bank of Commerce for signatures
of others who might not be present
at the meeting.
It was also resolved that it would
be the proper thing for the city to
have q service banner, and it was
ordered that q committee of three
be appointed to secure the banner
and have it displayed in a public
place.
The organization voted to be
known as the Loyalty League, Of
Milbank.
The chairman later made annouce-
ment Of the following appointments:
Standing Committee Wv.
Downie, Frank Brewer. Rudolph C.
Berkner, Rev. Arthur E. Beddoes,
w. S. Dolan.

son. @. j. Coons, Phil G.. Saunders.
The enthusiasm exhibited at the
meeting indicated that the people
of Milbank are pretty solidly loyal
and they are not going to counter.

midst. If there are any in this
community who have not yet gotten
their feet firmly planted on Amer

We. thoroughly convinced Of the
righteousness of Americas war for

the loyalty league to help them to
a proper understanding Of these
things, that there may be loyal

of all citizens with the demands Of
the government in its efforts to
win the war.

For Relief IN Belgium.

1VS aWesVe - OOsSyes1ssas
The Commission Of Relief in Bel
gium in connection with relief
work in occupied territory Of
France and Belgium has asked the
Red Cross to collect for it cer-
tain amount Of used and surplus
clothing. The Grant County Chap.
ter Of the red cross thru its branch
es and auxilliaries, have agreed to
do this work in Grant county. and
in order that this work may not be-
come . reg ular activity of the red
cross or be q precedent for q con-
tinual collection Of such articles, the
week Of March 18th and to March
25th ONLY will be devoted to this
purpose.
The red cross therefore makes
an appeal to everyone to give their
spare clothing for the suffering
people of Belgium and Northern
France under the occupation Of the
enemy. As the world is short of 90
many things, it is short Of clothing
and of raw materials. The COM
mission or relief in Belgium is un-
able to purchase what is needed ;
we must therefore put our spare
garments to the service Of the
world-a measure Of pure econo-
mics, conservation and patriotism.
Clothing to be used should be of
strong, durable material. but need
not be in perfect repair. There
are upwards of q hundred thousand
women in Belgium and Northern
France who will do anything for a
little, and who are mobilized and
trained into marvelously efficient
organization for the making of
clothing-while there were still
raw materials for repairing Of old
clothing. These women are hap
piest while at work, having less
time to dwell upon their misery.
They look forward with dread to
the day. when their material is ex-
hausted and their garments finish
ed. they must lay down their work
and wait their turn to receive the
next supplies.
In Milbank arrangements have
been made with the boy scouts to
collect this clothing and assemble
same at a central point. Persons
desiring to donate used or discard
ed clothing will please phone any
of the following gentlemen and one
of the boy scouts will call promptly
for the garments: Mr.. P. c..
Saunders, Mr.. A. A. Blomquist or
Mr.. Harry Pawson.
Here is a list of garments need

SCHOOL NOTES

SChUUL NUIES
Deputy State Supt. G. T. King,
who is South Dakota's Inspector
and North Central Association off,
er, was with US all day Thursday.
He gave our high school a careful
inspection and has recommended
that we be continued on both State
and the North Central accredited
list.
At Ills Mr.. King spoke to the
high school from the subject,
Americas Second Line of De-
fense."" He made it quite clear
that the finest and most patriotic
service we can render America in
the present crises is to stay in
school and do every days work faith
fully and we'll. For all too soon
America will need the consecrated
hearts, trained minds and skillful
hands that it is the business of the
school to provide the nation. Com
missioner F. p. Claxton and also
Secretary of War Baker were quot
ed in support of the above asser-
tion.
Mr.. King expressed himself as
especially we'll pleased with the
Junior Red Cross as it is now or
ganized in the school. The work
is being done without interfering
with the regular daily program of
class room exercises. Children
whose work grades in A or in B are
permitted to do extra Red Cross
service after school hours. Mr.
King visited such q class at 4:3O
on Thursday afternoon. Children
who are weak in their school work
are allowed to do only such Red
Cross work as comes in line with
regular class room duty and for
which school credits can be given.
This arrangement conserves the
help to those best able to help and
protect those who need to devote
all their time to passing with
credit the school courses which
they have already undertaken.
The motion picture feature,
The Stacker" given for the bene-
fit of the Junior Red Cross work of
the Milbank Public Schools was
loyalty supported by the commun-
ity and netted the new organic
alton about $73. The school is
grateful to every one who attend
ed either the matinee or the eve-
ming performance We now have
in our Red Cross fund the sum of
$99.67. This enabled US to pay the
dues Of every child in the school
from the first to the 18th grades
inclusive. Surely this community
is O. K. when it comes to support
ing a patriotic school enterprise.
A small crowd last Friday eve-
ming attended the basket ball game
between our boys and the Waubay
high school boys. The score was
very decidedly in favor of the visit
ors. The playing was lifeless and
slow on both sides. The ability of
the visitors to cage the ball at near
" every angle was the only real
basket ball feature which came
into evidence during the game.
Waubay has the cleanest and fast
est team with which we have play
ed this year. Our team is not
yet championship ealibre. They
showed IN the game played 1t
Waubay that they can when going
right, give q real battle. Lack
Of head work WAS responsible Tor
the uneven score here. ''Drib-
bling" and inaccurate passing on
our part were fatal when up
against the fast and accurate Wau-
bay bunch. But let us be patient.
It takes time to build Z superb
fighting machine 10 basket ball.

WHY THE BLACK TIP OF AN ERAIINE
 WEASELiS TAIL

Most scouts know that the er- mine weasel changes to white on the coming of cold weather" says Dr. E. F. Bigelow, the scout Naturalist, in Boys Life for January. William B. Cram tells why the tip of the tail is black.
 Hate in the autumn, or early in the winter, the ermine changes from reddish brown to white, sometimes slightly washed with green!sh vel low or cream color, and again as bril- Eantly white as anything in nature or art; the end of the tail, however, remains intensely black and at first thought 1t might be supposed that this would make the animals con- spicuous on the white background of snow; but in reality 1t has just the opposite effect. Place an ermine or new-fallen snow in such a way that it casts no shadow and you will find that the black point holds your eye !n spite of yourself and that at lit tie distance 1t is quite impossible to follow the outline of the weasel itself Cover the tail with snow and you can begin to make out the position of the rest of the animal but as long as the tip of the tail is in sight you see that and that only"

WOMEN
 ABR CANDIDATES FOR PARLIAMENT

London, Dec. 27-CCorrespondence of The Associated Press)-The cam paigns of about fifteen women candi- dates for election to the House of Commons imparted new and inter esting phase to the electioneering. Some of the women who were run ming for office under the new law which permits them representation in the British Parliament were promin" ent in the old window-smashing days of the pre-war suffrage campaign. One candidate announced that she seeks office as quiet, modest lady" while another, the widow of an army officer announced as her platform, a thorough and systematic boycott of the Germans.
 Foremost among the women can didates was Cristobel Pankhurst, whose activities as a militant leader before the war gave her international i prominence. She was one of the supporters of Premier David Lloyd 1 George, and ran on a platform "de- i mocratizing prosperity and the aboli-

trade and rapidly increasing in i'm portance.
 The principal cause of these tre- nlendous international exchanges which have grown with such unex- ampled rapidity within the last cen tury can be stated in single and very brief phrase---a division of la Dor, the assignment to certain areas and their peoples of the production of certain articles for interchange in world commerce. It was found that certain areas 6buld produce wheat more successfully tEan certain other areas, and this was true also with reference to the other great require ments of man, corn, meats, sugar, tea, Ooffee, cotton, wool, silk, iron, copper, tin, lumber, India rubber and nlanu- factures, and that the respective areas especially suited to the production of these individual articles could pro- duce them much more readily and cheaply than could other countries re- quiring them, especially i9 by the de- velopment of cheap and plentiful transportation facilities, these articles could be readily moved from the place of production to the places where required. Cost of transporta- tion has been so reduced that Brit. ish workman could in 1910 pay witt one days labor the cost of transport ing years supply of bread and meat from the Miss.oGippi Valley to his owr door; and the application of power tC farming had made it possible in 191t to produce a ibushel of wheat with Il minutes of human labor against thre,
 hours of labor required to produce
 bushel one hundred years earlier.

promised, If elected, to resign at the end of the year when the soldiers would be home.
 Mrs. Olive Strachey, one of the three women supported by the Na- tiona1 Union of Women's Suffrage So- cieties, is counted one of the best women orators of the country. She ran as an independent Liberal can didate for Cheswick and supported Lloyd Georges program.
 Miss Sylvia Pankhurst ran as an "out and out" socialist for the Hal lam division of Sheffield, the only one of the women candidates to take that position.
 Another interesting figure was Miss Marjory Fry, Quaker and member of one of the wealthy families of England.
 Mrs. How. Martin, candidate in the Tendon division of Middlesex, en- joyed the support of Ellen Terry, the actress.

 Mrs. Hope, widow of a British army colonel, as an independent, op- posed Herbert Asquith, the former premier. She characterized MT. As- quith as a "wash-out" whose record was rotten and announced that she stood for good jobs for soldiers and sailors and for the reconstruc- ton of education.
 Mrs. Charlotte Despard, who ran as labor candidate for Battersea, is sister of Field Marshal Viscount John French, Viceroy of Ireland. She was twice in prison for her suffrage activities before the war. Many ot the boys whom she mothered in her I first school clinic in England, re- | turned from the war in khaki to sup. | port her candidacy which was based on the labor party's program with | special stress on reforms affecting l the. welfare of mothers and childrer and the economic, social, and pro l fessionaI freedom of women" She | believes in state care for children
