SOUTH DAKOTA LEADS
Our oV1 state the First IN the Union
b Go Over the Top In
Third Liberty Loan.

Our South Dakota has some
thing to be proud of in the drive
for the third liberty loan. Not
withstanding the fact that the per
capita allotment was larger than
that Of any state in union, she was
the first of all the states to go over
the top and make announcement
that her quota had been over sub
scribed. She was first in the ninth
federal district, and first in all
the union to report her allotment
completed. Our own county is en-
titled to credit in this honor as il
was among the first counties in the
state to report her allotment COM
plete.
The chairman Of the executive
committee of the ninth federal re-
serve district, A. R. Rodgers, in
complimenting the people of the
state on their achievement says:
Il think South Dakota's record SC
unique that she we'll merits spe.
cial state flag all her own as ar
indication of what she has achiev.
ed.
1T is a pleasure to be associated
with people who do things and nev.
er complain of the size of the
task
South Dakota simply got busy
and did their job.
A Minneapolis newspaper in
speaking Of the achievement says:
1.-The executive committee mem.
bers expressed appreciation Thurs.
day when they found South Da.
kota is the first state officially to
over-subscribe. The task set fol
that state was regarded as more
difficult than those accorded any
other ninth district state. South
Dakota subscribed $l2,631, 600 ir
the second loan and this time was
called upon to produce $22, 900, 600
It now seems certain that the South
Dakota total will be in the neighor
hood Of $25, 900, and it is ex
pected that final figures will sho v
a higher percentage Of subecrip
tions in comparison with population
than in any Of the other ninth dis
trct states.

Don't Slight the Hog

Speaking Of hogs and catt'e, DR..
Linse sold three head of hogs last
Wednesday to Geo. Breckenridge,
the cattle buyer, and for the three
head received check for S270.45.
the price being S16.25 hundred
These figures make one feel that he
will never again speak disrespect-
lively of a pig, no matter how hog
gish he may give token of becom-
ing. The American hog is an aris-
t;crat these days, and we take off
our hat to him.

SURVIVING THE AEON !

Oklahoma City. Dec. l3.-(Special
to The Ardmoreite)-Oklahoma is
without a governor just now, but
the state. so far as it appears here
around the capitol, is getting on
nicely. Politicians say the United
States has nothing on Oklahoma,
since the case is a toss-up, the one
being without a president, and the
other without a governor.

governors and near governors.
Lieut.. Gov. Ed Trapp OF Muskogee,
who under the constitution is sup
posed to assume the office Of gov
ernor pro tempore. in the absence
from the state of the governor de
facto, is missing. He is supposed to
be somewhere in the eastern part OF
the state. either fishing or attending
to other private business.
There is this difference between
the situation at Washington and the
situation at Oklahoma City" re-
marked a leading constitutional eX-
pert this morning: The vice presi-
dent OF the United States is not sup
posed to he even acting president
when the president is away, while
the vice governor of state is sup
posed to become acting governor
the moment the executive crosses
the border into another state.

Partial Report of Grand Jury
The Grand Jury having been IN
session three days have returned
some bills, and as a result OF their
Investigations it has developed that
there are a number Of matters re-
luiring extensive inquiry, and ow.
,ng to the necessity OF procuring
additional testimony not immedi-

the Grand Jury that a recess until
Tuesday, the 18th day OF December
IN order to procure such evidence
and permit such outside invcstiga-
tions as would facilitate the labors
OF the Grand Iurv. would be adyis-
able.
Among the things inquired into
bv the Grand Iurv has been the
contracts, construction and build
ing OF the various highways in the
county, and in this connection, it
has come to the knowledge OF the
Grand Jury that there is a large
amount of claims now pending be
fore the County Commissioners OF
said county to the legality OF which
objection has been made, for the
reason that the same are invalid
in part. and for the further reason
that said claims have not been duly
authenticated by a licensed and
qualified County Engineer; it IS
therefore recommended by the
Grand Jury that the contracts, the
work and construction of roads
