REMAIN In DAKOTA
MENNONITES WILL NOT REMOVE
TO CANADA.

Sioux Falls, March 25.-Reports
recently circulated throughout the
country that the various Mennonite
colonies of South Dakota had decided
TO move to Canada because the young
colonists of military age had been
drafted into the military service Of
the United States, are denied by ID.
J. Mendel, one of the leaders of the
colonists.
He that the colonists
are not going to northwestern Can
ada for two reasons. First, they will
not go unless they can get back all
their young men who are at Camp
Funston and have others who yet are
draft, which at this time Is impossi-
BILE; second, that the trading OF their
land in South Dakota for Canada
land cannot be concluded, it being
required of them that they take Can
ada land at $50 per acre and give
their land in exchange at $50 an
acre. The colony lands in Yankton,
Bon Homme and Hutchinson cOun-
ties are worth not less than 500 an
acre, and that in Hansen, Sanborn
and Beadle counties not much less.
Inasmuch as the war is expected
by the colonists to be over before
they could perfect arrangements to
dispose of their land and secure suf-
ficient land in western Canada, they
have concluded that 1t is best to re-
main in the United States and South
Dakota.
They also realize that il they did
go to Canada, that country might in
the future be drawn into another war
and their young men would be re-
quired to enter military service after
being told that they were exempt on
ly from the last war. Therefore, the
colonist leaders have decided that it
might be only another case of jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire
and accordingly have decided to let
well enough alone.

HELPS SAVE HORSES
Red Star Is Doing Great Work

Organization Aims to Do for the Horse
What Red Gross Does

Albany, N. Y.-Everybody knows
about the work being done by the Red,
Cross, but not so many are familiar
with the Red Star, another relief or
ganization that has been brought into
existence by the war. The Red Star
aims to do for horses what the Red

behind the battle lines, equipped to
care for 1880 horses aud has sue
ceeded In curing "a per cent of the
animals which were turned over TO its
care by the British veterinary corps.
Before this relief work was started,
horses injured in battle were shot at
once, now they are given surgical aid
and returned to the front when cured.
II is estimated that the work Of this
British society has saved the British
government $3O,OO0,0OO In horse flesh.
1t is estimated that Of the 100000
horses on the battlefield of Europe,
more than a million and a half are
from this country. These were OBJ
tanned largely before the United States
entered the war, when buyers for for
eign governments combed this country
for animals. The horse still plays an
important part in modern warfare, In
spite of the growing S of motor
trucks, as there are many places
where trucks cannot be used.
In this connection, Ernest /. White,
acting president Of the New York State
Breeders association. has issued an ap-
peal to farmers and horsemen all owe

tention to the breeding of horses suit

Things NOT TO Send
GOVERNMENT WOULD CUT
DOWN ARTICLES SENT"
TO SOLDIERS.

Washington, ID. c., March 25.-In
an effort to induce the people to cut
down the volume of parcei post sent
to troops in France, the postoffice
department today issued a list of
things which the soldiers are able to
purchase at the army canteens
abroad. The list shows that the
canteen prices are as low and some
times lower than the prices in this
country. The ~postoffice list includes
the following:
Biscuits, books, brushes, bouillon,
candies, candles, canned goods, hol-
iday cards. chewing gum. chocolate,
c~igarets, cigars, combs, dental
creams, various soft drinks, flash
lights, fruit, handkerchiefs, heaters,
jam, knives, leather goods, matted
milk, condensed milk, evaporated
milk, mirrors, nuts, pencils, pipes,
razors. shoe polish. shoe laces, soap,
sponges. tobacco, towels and wooden
gloves.
The statement says that an inves-
tigation of 5000 sacks of parcel post
disclosed 1874 pounds of candy; l.
332 pounds of chocolate; l 327 cakes
and 2.S3S packages of chewing gum.
The statement calls public atten-
'tion to the fact that every pound
and every ton of parcel post which is
sent from the United States, but
which a be bought by the soldiers
in France, forces off the ships am
munition and other needed mate
rails"

The Chrysanthemum Show.

Twenty years ago few women In
this town took II into their heads to do
something to raise money In order to
get better things for the town and ut
the same time have some clean amuse-
mcnt. So they settled on having q
chrysanthemum show.
We sent TO q green house and got
plants Of every known variety. We
cultivated them according TO instruc-
tons, and in the fall we had the most
magnificent display of flowers ever
seen outside Of greenhouse. We
cleaned out the circuit court room of
the court house, and decorated II up In
fine shape. And each owner Of flowers
lrranged her collection to suit herself,
N, but II was beautiful.
We advertised in all the papers of
he county, and the people came from
~ and near. 81 will meet you at the
>. 'um Show" became q slogan.
The first year We cleared $l25, 800
We continued the show for nineteen
yeai until the ladies got too old to
cultiy &c the flowers-and the young
folks , ould not keep 1t up. II is said
the Chr anthemum Show was the best
thing W. ever had in this town. Every
year we made over q hundred dollars.
Sometime We would divide It up
among tn, ch rches. Once we gave a
large sum toward a five-mile stretch
of railway I've town was building.
Now we have taken up the old GEM
etery, which was all dilapidated and
grown with bushes and weeds. We
have hired q man at 81 per day for
each day he wo:ts, and II looks like
another place an, Is the pride Of the
town. We put u" n gate with two
stone pillars; an ion gate that cost
two hundred dollars.
We are not disbandcd. We are still
the "'Mum Society" But the most
we do now Is to care for the cemetery.
We keep q man there nearly all the
time.
You will be surprised when I tell
you that the youngest men Der Of the
society is over sixty, one is ninety,
two are eighty, and your correspond
ent is seventy-nine.
