War Work Our
Blessed Women.

That the work Of our blessed wo-
men who knit is valuable, most es-
sential 10 fact, is shown by the fact
that knitters throughout this divis-
ion Of the Red Cross have been
requisitioned to supply to various
camps $4,000 pairs Of socks, 80,
sweaters, $4,000 pairs Of wristlets,
$4,000 helmets and 10000 mufflers.
This enormous supply is to be used
in equippine the various divisions
leaving for overseas service, It be-
ing the desire h supply each and
every man with an equipment Of
knitted articles before leaving
Banner.
The foregoing statement shows
that American women should let
nothing prevent them from pushing
their Red Cross knitting and sewing.
The towns should keep up their or
carnations and the work carried
more and more into the rural sec
tons, much Of which has not been
reached.

Postmaster Resented Remark.

Pierre.-A postmaster in the north
ern part of Haakon county. demon
strated his ideas of patriotism in a
militant way a short time ago. He
had been enlisted in the Red Cross
drive for that county. and was asking
patrons of the office for memberships.
One man when approached with card
refused on the plea that the Red Cross
is bunch of grafters, and that was
as far as he got. When he landed on
the prairie battered and bruised, and
was able to get to his feet again, he
wanted to come back and get his mail,
but was told to wait where he was and
it would be handed to him. Since that
time he has been sending for his mail
through his neighbors. and has not
shown any further desire for special
meeting with the postmaster. who was
not willing to allow the Red Cross to
be classed as among the grating class
of the country.

War on Black Plague.

Aberdeen.-Hereafte in South Da-
kota all venereal diseases must be
reported. and in those cases which
the health board decides warrant.
quarantine regulations will be en-
forced. This is a war measure which
promises to become a permanent rule
of the state. Already 1t is effective
in Minnesota and other states. The
enforced quarantine will be for pur
pose of treatment and under the law
the quarantine can be enforced by
authority of law. 1t is the first step
in nationwide movement to combat
venereal disease, and through COOP
Grafton between layman and the med
zeal profession stamp it out. 1t is cur
able and responds to treatment when
opportunity is given for treatment
through a long term. Assistance Of
parents and teachers will be sought,
warning cards to be posted and the
secrecy which has shrouded social dis
eases is to be torn aside to let in the
light of instruction and treatment.

How Boards Are Paid.

Governor Norbeck has received in
structions that the local exemption
boards, which are working upon the
questionnaires will receive 80 cents
for each completed questionnaires, and
this sum they can divide as they
choose because in some instances one
member of the board is practically
doing all the work, and in some cases
the three members work quite evenly
examining the papers. The instruc-
tons further state that the govern
ment will pay GO per cent of this price
when 60 per cent of the questionnaires
Tue from community are passed upon
another 20 per cent when 80 per cent
are examined. another 10 per cent
when 80 per cent of the papers are
examined and the remaining 10 per
cent when the quota from the COM
munity is complete.
