August primary. Mr.. Griffard is 81
years odl, coming to this country from
Ste. Genevieve county, where he was
born and reared Ia years ago. Dur
ing most of his long residence in Flat
River he has worked for the Doe Run
Lead Co., where he has rendered
splendid service. Judged by the
steady and efficient service he, has
rendered in his present position, his
friends argue that he will, if elected as
Constable, carry TO that Office the

That was just and wise move on the
part of Secretary McAdoo in deter
mining to remove the presidents of
all the railroads., thus putting that
great industry in the hands of the
government, in fact as well as in
name. The government has already
determined to spend $1,000 100000 or
more in improving the railroad prop
critics, which their several heads have
for some time past been claiming
we're being operated at loss. With
such a large amount of the peoples
money going into the improvement
OF railroad property, is there any rea-
son for the management of such prop
critics remaining in the same old
hands? When the operation Of rail-
roads by the government has had
time to thoroughly systematic the
business, it does not seem unreason-
able to believe that enough can be
saved over the former method OF OPP
Grafton to pay the real cost of their
operation. But it is also as appar-
ent that no such reform can be
brought about with the same men in
charge of the various roads as pres
idents. The Times believes that gov
eminent control of railroads will be
made so successful that the people
will never consent to go back to pri
vate control.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
FOR A DAY OF PRAYER

On May Both, Pennington and vi
vinity are to take part in the observ-
ance of "The Day Of Prayer, set
apart by President Wilson. How ap-
propriate such day when all Amer
lea, together with her Allies, so hum
bly, rely upon God Almighty for His
help to win the war! In the observ-
ance Of day of prayer, as has been
called fer we unite true religious faith
and real patriotism.
Our President has asked that "on
May> Both, Decoration Day, special ar
rangements be made for the opening
of churches for private and common
prayer and that, at an hour fixed to
insure the attendance of as many Of
the community as possible, special
services of prayer and meditation be
held"
After conference with many citi-
zens of Pennington it has been agreed
to participate in this call to prayer in
| the following ways: First, that ev-
cry household in Pennington and vi
| entity observe season of prayer,
reading portions Of the Scriptures that
they may choose and audibly or ST.
lently unite in an earnest prayer to
| God to defend our boys in the army
and give them and their allies victory.
Second, that as many of the men and
women as can attend one of the cot
tage prayer meetings held in their
part of the town at 10 a. m. The
places for these meetings are as fol-
lows: Mr.. Ed HELLER, J. G. Phillips,
J. W. Mccarthy, Charles McClintock,
Robert Forsyth, Geo. Ware, VIM.
Black, Mrs. Eva Spaugs, DR.. Graves,
Rev. Bailey, J. d. Counts, Ed Bying-
ton, A. C. Jones, Thomas Halle, Rev.
Geo. Harlan, Oscar Halle, S. F. Vance,
Mrs. Jennie Gruner, Rev. Mitchell,
Mrs. Geo. Miller.
| Third, that the business houses of
Pennington be closed at o'clock p.
m. and remain closed the rest of the
! day. That every citizen of Farming
ton may have the opportunity to at
tend a prayer service in the church of
his choice or affiliation at a o'clock p.
m. This service follows Immediately
upon the Memorial service at the
Opera House of the Old Soldiers of
the Civil War. Each minister will
conduct his own service in the way
most fitting to the ritual of his
church. 1t is hoped and believed with
this very thorough and convenient ar
rangemcnt for meetings that every
citizen Of the town and community
will be given an opportunity to show
their patriotism in conforming with
our Presidents request and express
their faith in season of earnest
prayer to God for His help in mo-
ment of peril and war. While not all
the merchants Of Pennington were in
terviewed personally, it was the
hearty and unanimous agreement of
| the great majority that the day should
be observed in this way and that the
places of business be closed at 2
o'clock and remain closed for the day,
with possibly the exception of butch
ers who will reopen at s or 6 O'Clock
for a short time

GOVERNOR GARDNER 90,
PR0CLALMS MAY 80,
AS DAY FOR PRAYER

Jefferson City, Mo.-Gov. Gardner
mas proclaimed May 80 as a day of
public humiliation, prayer and fasting
and called upon the people to spend
the day in prayer and praise of God.
His proclamation follows:
"Inasmuch as the President of the
United States has proclaimed Thurs
day, May 80, as a day of public hui
initiation, prayer and fasting, and re-
quested that our citizens of all faiths
and creeds assemble in their places
of worship on that day, ard in the
sanctuary, as well as in their homes,
make humble confession TO Almighty
God, and implore the divine blessing
and favor to the end that victory
may be brought to our armies; and,
"Inasmuch as we believe God has
been imminent in the history of our
nation and state, and that the Lord
is good, a stronghold in the day of
trouble, and he knoweth them that
trust him. and if sparrow cannot
fall to the ground without His no.
tice, is it probable that nation can
rise without his aid?'
"Now, therefore, I, Frederick D.
Gardner, governor of Missouri, do
proclaim Thursday, May 80, a day of
fasting and prayer. ! admonish the
people of Missouri to heed the call
of the President. Let us, in large
measure, refrain from our usual avo-
cations on that day and spend the
time in prayer and praise to our God
in the secret places of prayer, in
the family circle and in the public
place. Let us seek divine guidance
! and the wisdom that comes from
above If God be with US, who can
be against us?'
II earnestly recommend a hearty
and universal response to TIC call of
the President. At the military posts
and in every place where our soldier
boys are gathered let special prepare
ton for worship be made. In those
places of business not able to observe
the day, | suggest an hour be set
aside for prayer service, to the end
that all of our people may unite in
worship and receive the blessing it
brings"

Bulgaria Ceases
HOStilitioS

Bulgaria is definitely out of the
war and Turkey, virtually cut off
from communication with her
allies and her armies in Palestine
almost annihilated, likely soon
will be forced for a cessation OF
hosulitleS against her.
Meanwhile, the entente allied
forces from Belgium to Verdun
on six battle fronts are register
ing victory after victory oyer the
Teutonic armies, ard the enemy
from almost everywhere is crum-
bling, Notwithstanding the des-
perate resistance that is being Of
fered in the various sectors.
Seeing eventual defeat staring
her in the face through the swift
PROGRESS of the Serbian, Greek
and French troops in the reclaim
ing of Serbia and the invasion of
Belgian territory, the BulQars
begged for an armistiCe, reservine
to themselves no conditions.
All the territory now held by
King Ferdinand's men is to be
evacuated; the Bulgarian army is
to be Immediately modified and
all means of transport inside the
kingdom, even along the Danube,
is to be given over into allied
hands.
Thus, in addition to the isola-
ton of Turkey, the back door to
a direct invasion of Austria-EIun-
gary is flung wide open to the
allies, and doubtless the time is
not far distant when advantage
to the full will be taken OF the
new avenue through which the
enemy can be reached.
With the debaCle in Serbia and
Bulgarian complete, the Austro-
Hun9arians in Albania soon will
be put to the test, and when their
evacuation to their own borders
is accomplished the allies will

have welded an iron semicircle
about the central powers from
the Black sea to the North sea.
Viewing the situation IN all its
aspects the success of the great
! offensive in Belgium and France,
the bl0tting out of the war zone
in the Balkans, the cutting off Of
the Turks from intercourse with
Germany and Austria-Hun9ary,
except by the long route through
the Caucasus and southern Rus
Sia, and the steady gains that are
being made by the allies in max
ing Russia once more a factor in
the struggle the darkest days Of
the war seemingly are faced by
the AuStro-GermanS.
Although it had been officially
announced that hoStilitieS against
the Bulearians ceased at noon on
Monday, the French official com
munication of Monday night said
French cayelry had entered Us
kub, one of the most important
communication centerS in Serbia.
it is not improbable therefore
that the French are still after the
Germans who are known to have
been fighting with the Bul9arians
in this region, acting as rear
guard.
Although greatly elated that
Bulgaria had signed an armiStiCe
which must be followed by her
elimina tion from the war, Amer
iCan officials have carefully refrai
ned from exercising any direct
influence in this mOmentOus event
Since the Uni,ed States never has
declared war on Bulgaria, the
government has not felt at liberty
70 make any suggestions toits Co
billiGerents at this stage, which is
regarded as purely military.
1t is believed, however, that in
the final adjustment of the impOr
tant political questions involved
in the conditions to be imposed
upon Bulgaria at the conclusion
of the worlds war the United
States will be invited to discuss
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1918-10-04

this subject with The entente al
lies at the peace council.
1t was stated today that no in
structions had been given to any
American diplomatic representa-
tives in the Balkans to extend the
good offices of the United States
to either Bulgaria or the allies.
In notifying the state department
that his government had request
ed an armistice, Stephen Panare-
toff, the Bulgarian minister here,
undoubtedly gave the impression
that such action would be CRATE
fully received by Bulgaria.
1t is considered possible that
Minister Panaretoff may have ex-
erted some influence with his
friends in Bulgaria to bring about
the decision to quit the war.

Some citizen of the United States
Of America bought a Liberty bond;
perhaps 1t was only a fifty dollar bond.
A portion of the money loaned to
the Government by the purchaser of
this Liberty bond bought the steel
helmet this soldier is holding up for
your inspection. The soldier, when
he put II on, called it "tin hat"
The soldier wearing this "tin hat"
which was bought for him with Lib
erty Loan money wore it in the bat
tie. A half dozen bullets ratified
against II and the "tin hat' tossed
them off and the soldier kept on fight
ing.
Anyone Of these bullets would have
stopped the soldier, perhaps forever.
Finally piece of shrapneI came
along and smashed up against the

The Peace Our
Soldiers Want

The Stars and Stripes, the Off
Cial newspaper published by the
soldier boys of the American EX.
peditionary Forces in France, says
editorially about the enemy peace
offensive:
Let the weak hearted who are
dreaming of compromise; let
the pacifistS who are talking
peace by agreement; let the side
liners who have had enough of
war; let the secretly inclined pro
Germans who think this war
should end without a decision
let them one and all know once
and for all that for the American
EXpeditionary Force there is no
such word as Peace with the
Huns unbeaten. The man who
talks OF peace today, except thru
victory, Is traitor.
The enemy peace offensive is
likened to the action of German
machine Gun crews in the Vesle
fighting, when they fought and
killed Americans until they were
surrounded, and then shouted
"Kamerad.'
The mothers of the American
soldiers in France want the same
peace their sons demand. All the
courage of the ancient SPARTAN
mothers is in the hearts of the
women of America.
The object of the Fourth Liber-
ty Loan is to bring that peace,
just peace, a righteous peace, an
American peace.
