MORE RARE THAN GOLD

There are metals needed by the gov
eminent for the successful prosecution
of the war that are worth lots nor
than gold. Platinum, Iridium and pal
ladium are these metals and their
price is now well up over one hun
dred dollars per ounce. The sale, pos
session and use Of these metals Is now
regulated by law and the explosive Ii
cense agent in each county is the one
who regulates the traffic in these
precious metals. By these regulations
an accurate account will be made OF
the stocks on hand and their need IN
the various industries. The time may
come when the government will ask
the women Of the country to give mp
their platinum jewelry, as it has been
quite common in that use in the finer
work of the jewelers. art.

Chairman of the County Council as
Addressed: The South Dakota Coun-
Gil Of Defense thoroughly believe that
there is unlimited power in concerted

largely to the united and unselfsh
support of the people at home. for the
standard OF the morale OF the people
at home guarantee the morale of the
soldiers at the front.
The South Dakota Council Of De-
tense feel that if the people of our
state would set aside Ave to ten min
utes in which they could all join in
an appeal to the supreme ruler for
the increased success OF our soldiers
and sailors and for the increased pa
triotism and support of the people at
home. that it would aid not only the
people Of our state, but our boys who
are now making the supreme sacrifice
on the battlefields of Europe.
Now therefore, we ask that every
person in the state of South Dakota,
beginning at II o'clock moo on the
third day of November. 1918. bow
their heads for five minutes in silent
prayer thanking Almighty God for the
victorious advances of our army to-
gether with the armies OF our asso-
ciates, and recognizing our depend
ence upon the All-wise Providence for
guidance In solving the momentous
problems arising out of this supreme
struggle for the future peace and Sc
curity OF the world, and that the peo-
pie OF South Dakota may be united
in a righteous support Of the boys in
khaki, so that we can truthfully say
that the morale of our people is 1000 /;
and further that when the autocratic
powers of Europe are thoroughly sub
dued, that u boys may be returned
to us.
We will ask you, through your
county council, your county newspa-
pers, and otherwise, to ask all Of the
people to stop wherever they might
be at IL o'clock noon on the third day
OF November, 1918, and bow their
heads in silent prayer for five min
utes. Respectfully submitted,
Peter Norbeck, Chairman.
Geo. W. Wright, Secretary.
