farm BUREAU
CAMPAIGN BEING MADE IN LAKE
COUNTY FOR MEMBERSHIP.

The world conflict could not have
been successfully won without the
hearty cooperation and individual
efforts of the farmers of this nation.
Food, organization and excellent gem
eralship defeated the Hun. The
farmer responded nobly to appeals
made through the department of ag-
riculture and other agencies with the
result that great conservation and
increased production made possible
the feeding of the Allied forces and
millions of short rationed people be-
sides. The world has learned it's de-
pendence Upon the tiller of soil,
therefore, any movement that seeks
to unite the agricultural forces of the
land for the better solution of all
varied farm problems must meet the
ready sanction of all intelligent
workers and thinkers.
To further stimulate effort and Sc
cure wider cooperation there has
been set in motion a great drive
throughout the United States for an
increased membership for farm bu-
reaus. This campaign began on the
9th OF December and will close on
the 18th, which mean that seven
days have been devoted to intensive
solicitation and appeal. During this
campaign many thousands of farm
ers will demonstrate their. interest
in agricultural progress by identity
ing themselves with an organization
whose activities are designed to make
rural life more profitable, attractive
and efficient. Every farmer in Lake
county who believes in progress and
is aware of the advantages offered by
his vocation should Immediately Sc
cure membership in his local bureau,
for this places him directly in touch
with those associations, colleges,
state and federal departments that
are cooperating for his benefit and
teaching him how to conduct his
farming operations with scientific in
telligence. profit and success.
Lake county is located in the very
heart of the richest and most pro-
ductive section of South Dakota
where diversified farming and stock
raising are carried on successfully.
Large well-tilled acreages, modern
improvements and u%p-to-date me-
chanical equipment are the rule,
rather than the exception throughout
Lake county. In fact, this county
has that sort Of farmers who best
typify thrift, intelligence, progress
and success. and 1t is unbelievable
that men of this type would do less
than become active members in a
cooperative effort of national scope.
Why should Lake county farmers lag
behind and not keep step with the
forward march Of progress?
This appeal, which Is in line with
that sent out by Mr.. Houston. secre-

Washington, Dec. 11.-Congress was
asked by Secretary McAdoo to author
ize loans after the declaration of peace
to governments which have been asso-
ciated with the United States In the

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED
TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who
liked his meat raw, civilization has
learned a lot about the scientific treat
ment of the things we eat.
Naturally none of us would now
prefer to have our meat raw, our po-
tatoes as they come from the g6und,
our coffee unroasted.
And naturally follows the great dis
covery recently made by The Ameri.
can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes
better TOASTED!
This wonderful new idea-simple
like all great inventions-was first
used in producing the famous LUCKY
STRIKE Cigarette-made Of toasted
Burley tobacco.
Burleyhas a mellow flavor, entirely
different from the tobacco usually
used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to-
bacco andLUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes
taste like a pipe.

Written by a friend.
Mrs. Sophia Headley, formerly

ing extract:
Mrs. Headley died peacefully
sometime between $50 and 4 this
morning. She evidently had just
gone asleep and had not vitality
enough to awaken. She has not
really been sick but has gradu
ally grown weaker for some
months. She missed her old
Mansfield friends so much and l
often thought what a. pity that
she could not be near them. l

as ready and willing to go as she
did. I am glad the good Lord
let her go without a struggle"

Funston Band at Springfield
Arrangements are now being
completed for makingSpringfield
the first stop ip the State tour OF
the All Missouri 342nd Field Ar.
tillery Band of Camp Funston,
Plans for this tour have been
under consideration for some
time. 1t will include all the i'm.
portant cities Of Southern and
Central Missouri, including con
certs in St. Louis and Kansas
City, where the organization is
we'll known.
This band has long been recog.
nized as the premier musical or
ganization of the Goth Division.
This is saying a good deal, as
practically every regimentfn the
entire division lays claim to a
band of unusual merit, although
the 342nd band has been since
the organization of the National
Army, it has already gained an
enviable reputation throughout
the Central States.
Springfield has been chosen as
the first and most important stop
of the tour. Three entire days
will be spent there, more than
will be allowed to any other city
included in the trip, this is as it
should be, however,, as most of
the members of the band are old
Springfield boys, or from the
near surrounding territory. The
band represents an entire regi-
ment of 1900 men, all Missouri
men. Many of them are sons,
brothers or sweethearts of the
people of Springfield and sur.
rounding territory. 1t is a part
of the Headquarters Company,
which is essentially a,Springfield
and Southwestern Missouri or.
ganization, as the first 1919 quota
of the first Springfield and
Greene county men, numbering
considerably over a hundred,
were enlisted in it last Sept. 20.
Although some of these men
have been transferred to- other
organizations and some are now
serving in France there are still
many or them remaining in the
company.
According to present arrange
ments, April 81, % and 90, are
the three days the Missouri Ma.
tional Army boys will be the
guests of Springfield. These
should be red letter days in the
history of Springfield and South
western Missouri and everything
possible should be done to enter.
tain and make successful the Wis
it of these boys from our own
land.
At least two concerts will be
given during their stay, probably
on the afternoon and evening of
Sunday, the 28th. The band
carries a high class. orchestra
and it is planned that they play
for at least one dance during
their visit.
In order to make Springfeld's
reception and patronage worthy
of such an organization, made up
as it is of our boys who will soon
be fighting for their flag and ours
across the sea, that city is send.
ing out a call to the nearby towns
who should also be interested in
the entertainment of these boys,
as they represent many enlisted
men from their own towns, to
make a visit toSpringfield on the
day of Sunday, April %, and
help participate in the royal well
come to be given the Camp Fun
ston men.

Save Coal.

The county fuel committee is au-
thorizcd to restrict the delivery OF
coal in favor of household users. Bus
mess hours of stores can be reduced;
places OF amuScncnts shut down;
outdoor lighting cut to minimum,
every night in the week 1t is re-
qucstcd to take such steps as are nee
cssary to reduce the consumption of
coal, that actual suffering may be
prevented. The committee hopes
that all will SO act, that it will be TN
necessary to, issue any orders. In
this connection we would suggest
that the church societies hold union
meetings for time. The coal that
can he saved by our people in Bates
county would go to supply those who
are in great need in other parts of the
country.
We feel sure that our people, if they
ehaye not been giving consideration to
fuel saving. will patriotically respond
to this request.
