the drive is on. This plan has

Plans have also been announc-
ed for the organization of Junior

school in the country. According
to the Division of Four Minute
Men of the Committee on Public
Information, bulletins especially
prepared for school children will
be sent during the Third Liberty

Speeches will be prepared from

WILL NEED MANY HORSES
sToCKMEN SHOULD NOT hEGLEcT THE
HORSE RAiSiN6 INDUSTRY. : =

In conversation with one o1
our leading farmers and stock
men this week we were given tt
understand that many of the
farmers in this county will make
no extra effort this season t(
breed their mares, the impres
sion being that the market fol
these animals will be poor, owinl
to the introduction of trucks anC
tractors not only on the farm but
in the army. This is absolutely
the wrong impression. There is
every reason to believe that there
will be an increased demand fol
horses and that the price will ad
vance.
An interesting article in the
Illustrated World for March
sheds some light on this question
of the horse and what part he is
taking in the great war. 1t seems
that before automobiles were in
vented there was used in the ar
my about one horse for every
four men, whereas the condition
as it exists today, with the auto
mobile and trucks used in every
way possible, is about one horse
for every three men. In many
places the horse is an absolute
necessity, as he cannot be replac
ed either by men or automobiles
An expert claims that 850,00(
horses were used to handle the
French units from the battle o1
Marne to the position they hele
November lst, 1917, while the
British used about a half million
in recent operations. Germany
is compelled to furnish about
IS, 600 horses each month and is
finding it a very hard matter te
meet the demand. Immediately
behind the German lines are
great hospitals for horses presid
ed over by the finest veterinari
ans in Europe.
The supply of horses in the
United States has been cut down
during the past few years by
shipments to other countries and
every stockman should : take il
upon himself to help meet the
demand that is coming. While

SPECIAL SESSION MARCH IS
GOVERNOR CALLS LEGISLATURE II
TAKE UP URGENT WAR QUESTION:

Governor Norbeck at Pierre
Monday issued an official call for
the South Dakota legislature, to
meet in special session at 10 o.
clock in the morning of Monday,
March 18.
The purpose of this extra ses-
sion will be to take up and deter
mine certain questions which
have arisen largely as a result of
Americas entrance into the
world war, but other matters vi
tai to the welfare of the state al
so will be discussed.
The main object of the session
will be to enact lie eisla tio n
strengthening the police laws of
the state, so that local and coun-
ty officers can better protect the
state against pro-German activi-
ties. Maintenance and e gu p
ment of the home guard also will
be a subject taken up.
1t also is assured that at the
special session the proposed a.
mendment to the federal consti-
tuition providing for nationwide
prohibition will be up for ratifica-
ton.
Another question that will be
taken up will be the matter of
granting franchise rights to the
South Dakota boys now with the
American expeditionary forces
in France or in the various train
ing camps in the United States.
The matter of appropriations
to meet increased and unexpect-
ed expenses at state institutions
also will be before the special
session.
Other matters that absolutely
require attention at this time
will likewise come before the
members for d e ci sion at this
time.

perhaps amount to $4,000 more.

those in the rear confidently ex.

GRADE ESSAY
"WHAT PHILIP HI6H SCHOOL IS D0IN6
TO HELP FINANCE THE WAR;"
BY Rose Williams

Philip school considering the
number enrolled which is about
200, has made a splendid showing
in aiding the war, financially.
AS soon as the thrift stamps
were on sale, the first of Decem-
Der. the students in the High
School and in the grades began
to purchase them, and today we
have record to be proud of.
The flame was famed by Pro-
fessor Van Camp, who, when he
thought that the interest was
tagging even for a m O m e n t,
would remind us of the value we
got from buying thrift stamps,
and he also pointed out that be-
sides helping the government it
cultivated a spirit of thrift and
sacrifice.
The result Of his diligence is
that the total receipts for thrift
stamps alone is $401.25 for the
entire school. Be sides S the
stamps, $85O.00 hows to our
credit in Liberty Bonds. The
following table shows the records
of each Grade.

CITIZENS SHOULD ACT As GUARDS

A memorandum made public
by the War Department concern
ing the use of armed guards a.
bout industrial plants contains
the following:
The soldier in training who.
has offered his life for the de-
Tense Of country should not sac
rifice his effectiveness by per-
forming police duty in the pro-
lection of property back of the
lines. This is the duty of the
citizen at home.
The theater for operations for
armed soldiers is the battlefield
of Europe. Each civilian should
aid his country by acting as a
guard for the detection and pre-
vention of intrigue, deceit, and
all the familiar stealthy opera
tions of the enemy in our midst.
Each soldier unnecessarily de
tained as a guard in this country
aids and abets the enemy in Eu-
rope.
"Often guard may be needed
for the safety of a factory. When
it is, it should be supplied by the
owner of the factory, by the mu-
nicipality, or by the state.
These measures apply not
only to manufacturing plants,
but are equally applicable to
shipyards, grain elevators, and
stores of supplies"

ment that is also possessed by these
men. Our confidence in them made
possible the quick answer we for
warded to the contractors and we
have no fears that we will not be
backed up to the limit if it is re-
quired."
1t has been discussed by Mayor
Shannon and others that bond issue
may be hoated that will thus enable
every citizen to have part in the
developing of Morgan City and Ber-
wick, by giving his pro rata appor-
tionment. 1t has been estimated that
$4,000 will cover the cost of the
switch facilities demanded by the
shipbuilders. 4 very small amount
compared with the returns it will
bring back to this community.
The site selected is known as the
Storm site and is located on land
owned by the Morgan City Company
on the north end Of Tiger Island,
with a frontage on Berwick Bay.

was handled. The first inquiry was
received on June 5, final answer
was sent by the local organization
the following day and an answer CIV
ing details as to how all requirements
would be met was sent the next day.
A letter was also sent on this last
date. The favorable acceptance being
received today makes period Of just
one week elapsing since the first tele-
gram from the contractors was re-
ceived. This speed and efficiency
demonstrating the high business
ability and great interest possessed
by the business men Of Morgan City
and Berwick, without doubt had its
effect and influence on the contrac-
tors quick decision. In addition to
the unsurpassed natural advantages
here they were also looking for live
community.
All requirements incorporated in
the proposal we're readily met at
Chamber Of Commerce meeting held
on the night the first telegram was
received. The only clause that the
members felt would need little time
for consideration concerned the
building of switch track from the
main line of the Southern Pacific to
the company's proposed site. A COM
mittee was appointed that worked
increasingly all the next day and the
greater portion Of the following.
Enough was accomplished the first
day to enable the committee to wire
the contractors that all their require
ments would be met. Details in con-
nection with the switch clause took
up their later time.
The immediate and definite answer
that was sent was made possible
through the confidence possessed by
the committee in the full and un-
stinted support that would be given
by the citizens of this community
when it was needed. One committee
man stated:
1.-THE merchants especially realize
the many benefits that have come to
this community by the establishment
Of the present shipyard. They also
know the financial returns that will
be made available upon the operation
of another industry Of this character.
