A SCHOOL SOCIAL

One of the finest programs that ever
has been given in Argo SO was given
on Dec. 21st, nder the direction OF
Miss Blakely, the teacher. The chill
dren and teacher are to be congrat-
ulated on their great success Of Their
entertainment, "The Clothes Pin So
cial." The progra mconsisted OF dli-
logs, songs and rocitations, and WAS
entertaining from beginning to eud.
Besides auctioneering off the clothes
pins. there was a fish pond where you
could purchase a large fish for the
small sum of one ding. Also a gu'
ing contest which caused lots of mor-
riment among both young and old. n
which Gladys Otteson won the BOBBY
prize. There was a tie between ]. c.
Nelson, Merrill Otteson and Martin
Michel as to who came the nearest
to the correct number Of kernel Of
corr in a two-quart glass fruit jar.
The twenty-nine clothes pins
brought the neat sum of 1926. O,er
$40 was raised during the evening.
The teacher and pupils have not
fully decided what they will do with
the money, but we know that Miss
Blakely and her pupils will use good
judgment in that matter. and that I
will 90 to a worthy cause as teach
and pupils work in harmony. We X
pect to tell you later what they did
with the money.
Again we want TO commend Miss
Blakely as one of B~rookings county
most efficient teachers, and the IDH y
in the splendid way in which they
handled this entertainment. Fv'ry'
one that assisted in the program is
also to be thanked for the way hoy
did their part. We trust that icy
will give another excellent program
in the near future.

mer and has received the Endorsement
of prominent officials of the north
west Although the project was sub.
mittcd to Secretary Baker and depart.
ment of agriculture officials, according
to &. II. Anderson, Of Pierre, chair
man of the council. no action has been
taken by the government.
The councils plan is to relieve the
shortage of farm labor which in many
sections of the country is holding up
food production, and as a possible sub
stitute for the war departments pro
posed action in furloughing farm boys
now in training camps to return home
for the spring planting and harvest
inc next fall.
Thousands of acres of state lands
and untitled lands in western states,
under the plan, would be farmed by
the agricultural army. 1t is estimated
that in South Dakota alone 200 600
acres of state lands could be utilized
for growing food crops. While under
military control and discipline, the ac-
|tiyities Of the agricultural units would
be directed by agricultural experts.

CRIMINAL GETS JUSTICE

The following information issued by
the states attorney shows a very
creditable condition in our admins
tration of justice in the county. This
is made possible by officers who at
tend to their duties.
States Attorney Purdy and the sher-
if returned from Watertown Thurs
day evening, having taken another
man before Judge Skinner charged
with a violation of the liquor laws,
who was fined 5000. One thousand
dollars has been collected in fines and
paid into the county treasury ince
the first of last July, on ccount of
violations of the liquor law n sew
eral men have been confined in the
county Jail. The law makes it a mis-
demeanor to have intoxicating liquor
in a public place, regardless of wheth-
er it is drank or sold. The mere pos
session of the liquor constitutes the
offense. and the minimum punishment
is 5000 and thirty days in jail, and
the court can impose a fine of $1,000
and a iail sentence Of six months. A
second offense is a felony punishable
by Imprisonment in the state peni-
tertiary. This last offender was aP-
pretended by James J. Connolly OF
the Brookings city police force.
Rev. W. A. Mast was appointed as
probation officer by the juvenile court
last week and several juvenile offend
ers were placed in his charge.

OBITUARY

on Tuesday morning. December Is,
deaths angel crept quietly into the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Smith,
of Bushnell, and carried back to
Heaven one of Gods flowers, their in
FAINT son, Wilmer Lowell, age IL
months and II days.
The little fellow was put to bed the
night before apparently all right.
The parents were awakened during
the night by his fussing. Every at
tention was given him and he went to
sleep to awaken no more. When Mrs.
Smith went to the baby's bed the next
morning she found little Wilmer sleep
ing safe in the arms of Jesus.
DR.. Foster of Aurora was called i'm
mediately and after a careful examin-
alton decided that the sudden death
must have been caused by quick con
vulsions caused by gas on the stom-
ach.
Wilmer Lowell was a happy little
fellow and loved and cherished by all
who knew him. The funeral was held
il the Methodist church Of Bushnell,
the service being conducted by Rev.
Cummings, of that place. The floral
offerings were many and beautiful.
The little fellow was laid to rest
in the Fairview cemetery at White,
beside his little brother, Artell. He
leaves to mourn his death his par
ents, little sister, Bernice Alene, and
twin brother, Delmer Russell, besides
a host of friends and relatives.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mr..
Smith join with them in their sorrow
and their hearts go out TO them in
sympathy for when God sees fit he
reclaims His blessings.
There is a reaper, whose name is
death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at a
breath,
And the flowers that grow between"

there is not enough coal on hand in
any Of u towns to assure a constant
supply. To waste the coal we now
have, when we may have to beg for a
hod or two mex week, would be the
height of folly, if it We're rot worse.
The next time you walk by any of
the large buildings in the state just
observe, if it is a fairly mild day. and
see how many windows are thrown
wide open.
Coal is just as essential to the
prosecution of the war as ammunition
and for Us to use up coal which we
can do without is just as wrong as to
waste the ammunition which is needed

Just at present war is our business,
and if we are to be successful in it
we must prosecute it as diligently and
as efficiently as if We were making it
the permanent ambition of our lives.
If the people of South Dakota are
of the opinion that this conservation
movement is a fad to be indulged in

that opinion and get another me.
Conservation is to be practiced as far
a. may be necessary to win the war,
and it is going to hurt. The more low
ally and heartily our people cut down
their consumption the less likely that
they will be called upon to deprive
themselves of necessities. but they
should get the idea into their heads
right away that if they will not vol

the war be won.
