A Dangerous Practice

VIM. Coulthards and family and
Whine Burbank and family drove to
Omaha the first of the week and as
they passed through Crescent seven
or eight boys, ten.sto fifteen years
DID,. threw shandfuls Of pebbles at
their car, striking several Of them in
the face. While no serious injuries
were caused there might have been,
had one Of the stones hit any of
them in the eye.
Crescent isn't the only place where
such performances are practiced BY
any means. Missouri Valley has some
boys Of the same caliber and they
have done exactly the same thing.
Some of those boys may injure some
one then there will be a reckoning
that they hadn't figured on. ss

About three weeks ago there
was a big flood which did lot of
damage so some of us have been
working getting things back IN
shape.
All of the officers here are real
nice to get along with. They
will talk to us and sometimes
crack a joke. At Camp Custer
some of the officers were too good
to talk to us enlisted men. That
must be because Bill Taft gave a
speech at Camp Custer a month
ago, and said the drafted men
are the best soldiers in the world.
Of course us enlisted men take
that as. an insult. There is a rea-
son. Big Bill himself could not
get an office in the army unless
he was drafted.

Hog raising will become one OF
the more important factors among
the farmers of this west river coun-
try II they will only utilize that
most important of crops, alfalfa, as
pasture for their hogs. This
with supply OF skim milk will
raise good hogs at very little ex-
pense.
= sold 35 May pigs in September
and they netted me $4,000. When
the little ones we're two weeks old
l turned them on pasture and from
this time until sold them in Sep
tember, they did not get anything
but alfalfa and skim milk. sold
them at four months old and they
were never fed one dollars worth
of grain of any kind.
When the pasture begins to dry
up in the fall, II the hogs are
turned to an alfalfa stack, they
will practically support themselves.
In this manner brood sows may be
very cheaply wintered.

NINTH GRADE ESSAY
"WHAT the PHILIP SCHOOL IS DOIN6
TO HELP FINANCE THE WAR;"
BY Bernece Thompson

BY Bernece Thompson
The Philip school is doing more
Red Cross work and is the first
school in the state of South Da-
kota to organize a Junior Red
Cross auxiliary.
The boys as we'll as the girls
are knitting in school during
their spare moments as we'll as
knitting at home. The high
school students have knit more
than forty sweaters, several pairs
of. socks, and also several helmets
as we'll as numerous handker-
chieves being hemmed and other
helpful work.
There are several reasons for
the school children to do all the
Red Cross work they possibly
can for the comfort of our sailors
and soldiers.
The grade children as we'll as
the high school students are saw
ing their money and are purchas-
ing thrift stamps and war saving
stamps, and those that can afford
to, buy liberty bonds. This is a
great help to the government as
we'll as the children. To the gov
eminent it is a loan which in 1923
they will repay with four per cent
interest. To the children good
investment and it encourages
them to save their money.
This war is going to have a
great effect upon the American
people causing them to be more
economical and saving. The
American people for the last few
generations have been carefree
and not self reliant, and at this
age they are beginning to awaken
and realize what a necessity it is
to be capable of self. supporting.
think if this great war con-
tinues the people in years to come
will be of an entirely different
nature.
: And that is one reason be-
lieve in bringing the Red Cross
work into the school and teach
the children while young. Many
of them before knitting was
brought into the school did not
know how to knit and most of
them spent their money going to
shows or buying unnecessary
articles, while now they are very
anxious to save all their money
and buy thrift stamps.

OPPOSED TO FURTHER ADJ
 TOURNAMENT OF CONVENTION

Little Rock, March 21.-The state ment has been made in the press that there is likelihood of the constitu- tional convention meeting the first Monday in July, and adjourning until next year. In the meantime it would be possible for the legislature, which meets next January, to repeal the act calling the convention.
 Gov. Brough is opposed to further adjournment, and thinks the conven- ton should proceed to write a consti- tuition that it may be submitted to the people for ratification at a special election preceding the general elec- tion in November.
