POOR OLD Milwaukee

Ii we may judge by some OF
the newspapers of neighboring
towns, some folks do like the
Milwaukee railroad. To hear the
talk that goes around, one would
think that the service of the Mil
waukee was not real good.
The old bridge at Chamberlain
has been a subject for jest and
discussion for nearly fifteen years.
1t isout of commissioners of the
time. In fact it goes out in an
ticipation of a rise in the river
every time a heavy black cloud
comes up in the west. Some
times it goes out in the fall,
floats away a few rods, gets froz-
en- tight in the ice, and stays
there until next spring.
When the history of the state
is finally written due attention
must be given to the Milwaukee
bridge at Chamberlain. 1t is a
distinctive institution. not mat
ter to be proud of, but an institu-
ton just the same. 1t has oc-
cupicd the attention of the state
legislature and even of the con-
gress of the United States. Po-
litical campaigns have been
fought over its PROSTATE form.
Indeed one candidate was elect
ed to congress on platform
promising an act of congress to
compel the company to build a
decent bridge. He got his act of
congress all right. But at last
accounts he did net have his
bridge.
Lately the Milwaukee has been
promising again to reform, like a
husband brought up short in his
shortcomings by an irate wife
for the fortieth time, and the
Capital Journal of Pierre reviews
the situation as follows:
People living west of the Mis-
souri, river are dubious concern
ing the proposed construction OF
the Chamberlain bridge, accord
ing to articles appearing in news
papers of that region.
In spite of assertions made by
all officials and rumors afoat
The pioneer. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1918-06-06

that a new bridge has been pur-
chased from the city of St. Louis
for removal to the Chamberlain
site, Murdo, Reliance and the
other towns on the Iowa and Da-
kota division are loathe to accept
the pledges of the company.
BY way of adding to the eener-
al displeasure, the Milwaukee
has recently changed its sche-
dule, so that one travelling along
the line now must stop over at
Kadoka, at Murdo, at Chamber
lain, and at Mitchell. If he has.
good health and has come of a
rugged, lone-livine ancestry, he
may confidently look forward to-
ward arriving somewhere before
mourning friends and relatives
congreeate to perform the last
sad rites over his remains. But
if he isn't blessed with promise
of long life, it might be we'll to
get the funeral over before he
starts. Otherwise he may die on
the way. and never get back
home to be buried.
So say the editors over on the
Milwaukee. Considering all they
have to say, one could easily con-
clude that they are in a. critical
attitude of mind toward the Mil
waukee railroad. They should
be patient. They should stay at
home. Why should a Milwaukee
editor want to 60 anywhere any
way? He would simply wander
into some wet territory and come
home sooner or later with his
pockets picked and his watch in
the soak. The safe place for
him is at home.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL

One of the largest real estate
deals in the history of Haakon
county was consumated last
week when the Charles Haxby
ranch of $500 acres was sold to
Chester and Morgan Smith of
Sioux City Iowa. The purchasers
take with the ranch all the
Quater Circle -Diamond-Dot live
stock including 465 head of cat
tie and l25 head of horses. The
total consideration paid was in
the immediate neighborhood of
one hundred thousand dollars.
Mayor r. Walpole. our local live
real estate dealer, brought about
the transfer.
The Smith Brothers are young
men in the prime of life and will
take active charge of this large
ranch property. Mr.. Haxby has
no plans for the future but is
thinking some of taking things a
bit easy after good many years
of hard toll in building up one of
the best ranch properties west
of the Missouri river.

the PHILIP SCHOOL

Occasionally we here it sug.
gested that the Philip schools
could be operated for less money.
It is easy to make a suggestion
of this kind. 1t is not so easy to
carry it out. We have eight
teachers, four in the high school,
four in the grades, and there are
those who think we should have
an additional teacher in the pri
mary department of the grades.
One thing is certain, anyone who
will take hold of the problem of
paying eight or nine teachers, a
janitor. and buying the necessary
coal, will find that this alone
takes some money In the course
of nine months. After struggling
with the problem for a year or
80, it will begin to appear why
it takes a 1875 mills tax to run
our schools.
It must also be remembered
that Philip is a small city of the
third class, and that its assessed
valuation is not high. What it
costs some of the larger cities of
the state to run their schools in
comparison with our appears
from the following list:
Rapid City, 1859 mills.
Redfeld. 1879 mills.
Pierre. 1928 mills.
Brookinas, 1928 mills.
Huron, 81 mills.
Aberdeen. 81 mills.
Mitchell. 8.46 mills.
Watertown. 81 mills.
Sioux Falls, 8.23 mills.
Lead, rs mills.
AS a war measure and a mat
ter of economy ]. has been sue-
eested that our school be operat-
ed six days in the week next
year. The idea is worth con-
sidering. Last year a number OF
schools Of the state held school
on Saturday. and were thus able
to cut their term to eight months
or less. Many will follow the
same plan this year.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
TAKE SALTS To FLUSH KIDNEYS
IL BACK HURTS OR
BLADDER BOTHERS

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken, then you suffer with
dull misery in the kidneys region,
sharp pains tn the back or sick head
ache, dizziness. your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment
the channels often get sore and irri-
tated. bbliging you to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm
acy here; take a tablespoonful in
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, com bined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritatcs, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure. and makes delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink.

( PORTLAND. oregon, March 90
/ w. Rasmussen of this city tonight re-
received the following telegram from
Adjutant General Mccain at WASH
/ ington:
Regret to inform you that your
brother. Major Alex Rasmussen, was
slightly wounded in action at the
front in France on Monday, March
25."
Major Rasmussen had just been
transferred to the American expedition
airy forces at the request of General
Pershing, from the famous Princess
Pat regiment of the Canadian army.
He was one of the few survivors of
that immortal band at Ypres, where
the Huns launched their first gas
attack
His gallantry in action has earned
him the title of the Flying Major
and his whirlwind raids on the Ger
man trenches proved that he well de-
served the appelation.
When he left the Canadian forces
his commanding officeh, Major-Gener
al Mcdowell, said to him:
Major Rasmussen has proved to
be a brave and resourceful soldier,
and on several occasions has led raids
with dash and courage. I regard him
as an extremely capable officer"
Before entering the Canadian forces
he was with the Fourth United states
cavalry and sevved through the Span
ish war. Recently he has been drill
ing American troops in France in
bomb throwing and other maneuvers
of modern warfare One of the most
successful raids carried out by Ameri-
can troops against the Boches, was
led by Major Rasmussen.

concern is that the American people

To Aid Man Power.

Prof. G. l. Christie, assistant to Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston, recent
ly pointed out some striking illustra-
tions of how the available labor sup
ply could be used to much better adj
vantage If supplemented by ma
chinery; of how some labor Is not
fully utilized because machinery Is not
used. On one farm In the corn belt
he saw two strong men. each with
team of horses and single moldboard
pillow, following each other around the
field. On an adjoining farm a seyen-
teen-year-old boy, driving four h6fses
to a two-furrow plow,' was doing as
much and better work. On one farm
two men with two horses to a wagon
were spreading manure with forks. On
an adjoining farm one man with three
horses to a manure spreader was ac-
complishing larger amount of work
in more efficient way. For lack of
proper machinery the labor of one of
the men blowing and one of the men
scattering manure was thrown away.
Professor Christie points out that dur
ing the rest Of the season farmers can
handle their work with a materially
reduced number of men If they avail
themselves of such things as the
double cutaway harrow, wide cutter
bar of mower and binder, sheaf car
rier on the grain harvester, tractor.
| haying tools, milking machine.

OF all the agricultural labor prob
lens confronting the farmers of the
country at this time. probably the most
serious Is that of getting enough help
to harvest the wheat crop. In normal
times there was a shifting population
of from. 10000 to 10000 lien who fol-
lowed the harvest season from the
South to the North of the wheat belt.
Floating labor is no longer available
to any such great extent, and the mat
ter of harvest labor, always a problem,
Is now n more serious one. Mr.. e. E..
Frizell, the department of agriculture's
farm help specialist for Kansas, re-
Gently wrote: "After full and COM
plete investigation, l am free to say
that the, farmers of Kansas will not
be able to save the wheat crop unless
they can get help from some of the
surrounding states" What is true of
Kansas is probably true of most of the
other wheat states. The department of
agriculture and the department of la
Dor. with fairly adequate funds avail
able, are using their best efforts TO
solve the problem. which they undoubt-
eddy will do. But the city people OF
the states involved by proper organ
ization and cooperation can help n
great deal. If they care at all for
more wheat bread and less war bread
