STILL TRYING TO BUCK
THE PROHIBITION LAWS

Sunday was holiday, but very
expensive one, for a couple of Ma
rietta's colored citizens.
George Gardner, a porter for the
Brumby Furniture Company, and
Dewey Dean, who performs like SER
vice for Hodges Drug Company, Sc
cured an automobile and made a trip
up into Cherokee county.
For some time the sheriff and his
deputies have had reason to suspect
one of these paries of doing a tiger
business and when it was learned that
they had gone toward Cherokee in a
car, the officers put out sentinels on
the two main roads in that direction
and about noon were rewarded by the
return of the quarry.
The car was stopped and on search,
it was found to contain some l 5 gal
Ions of whiskey in cans.
Accompanied by the officers, the
drive was continued into town and to
the Jail, where George and Dewey
were given lodging pending action of
the courts. The whiskey was poured

CITY TAX DEFAULTERS

The Board of City Tax Assessors
have been going over the returns
made this year, and have made the
amazing discovery that large mum
Der of people, and some corporations
made no returns and paid no taxes
at all last year.
Furthermore they have found in
many cases that the returns made
were unreasonably low, and that for
many years this condition has pre-
vailed, there being no adequate sys-
tenn of locating those who fail to
make returns.
The law provides that those who
fail to make returns may be double
taxed, but on account of the previous
laxity in the system there is no dis
position to deal harshly, and notices
are being sent out, returnable within
five days, calling for return of all
property.
Whether there is now any legal
way to collect from defaulters of last
year or not, the moral obligation ex-
lists, and they should not hesitate to
pay up at this time.
The Board is going into the matter
of listing defaulters, and providing a
system which should reach every one,
and make an equitable division of
the burden taxes.
That some should pay and others
do not pay, and are not forced to pay,
is an injustice which we are sure the
present Mayor and Council will cor
rect.
We feel that some are defaulters
by reason of oversight, and we have
no disposition to criticize them Sc
verely at this time.
If all property is given in correctly
the rate could be materially reduced

The Young Womens Christian
Association will have Hostess
House tent at the So. Oak. State
Fair next week. as part Of an
educational campaign preliminary
to the great drive for funds which
is to commence in November.
Many people know little or
nothing about the this useful or
ganizalion-the sister of the Y. Nj.
c. A.-and especially about its ex-
tensive war werk.
War brought the men of Amer
lea to the camps ofthe country.
lC Jbrought the women too
mothers, wives, sisters, aunts,
sweethearts. The government had
made its plans for the men, but it
had made them without Thought for
the women
And the women came to visit
their soldier relatives. The camp
commanders looked st the stream
of femininity coming steadily tow
ard them and asked what was to be
done.
Then the war department began
to think of the women. And it
asked the Y. w C. A. for help.
The Hostess House was the an
swer.
Eightyfve of them are now eth
Ell in operation or are definitely un-
der construction. They are put up
only at the direct request of the
camp commandants. Some of the
commanding officers were a little
doubtful at first as to the practica-
bility of the scheme. These very
officers are now asking for second
and even third hostess houses in
their cantonments.
Wherever colored troops are sta
tiond buildings are being erected
for their use and social welfare
work under trained colored lead
ers is being carried on.
These centers of hospitality are
under the supervision of the war
departments commission On train
ing camp activities. They are a
part of the governments war work.

CHILD WELFARE AT STATE FAIR
Plan to Attend State Fair at a Time when
you may hear this Noted Speaker sent
by the Goyernm't at Washington

To bespeak special care for the
needs of the children of the United
States now, Mrs. Mary Brecken-
ridge Thompson of the federal
children's Lureau is coming to So.
Dakota to help the Child Welfare
department ofthe womans commit
tee of the council of national de-
fense in its childrens year cam
paign to save and protect babies.
She will speak at the Stanley
County Fair at Fort Pierre, on the
5th and 6tq of Sept. and at the
State Fair at Huron on the 8 and
9th. See the Better Babies DE
partment ofthe StateFair for infor-
nation as to time and place.
Mrs. Thompson comes of fami-
ly-the Breckenridges of Kentuc-
ky noted for their oratory, and for
some time she has been using her
talent for public speaking in the
cause of children. She has been
speaking east, west, north and
south in the interests of more and
better child welfare work now,
stressing the special Importance of
meeting the needs of children atthe
present time if the men and women
ofthe future are to be healthy and
vigorous.
Mrs. Thompson dates her first
interest in child welfare from a res
idonce in Russia and her knowl-
edge of methods of child care as
they were in Russia several years
ago enables her to picture most
vivid contrast with what is being
done in the U. S. today in places
where child welfare work is we'll
