SCHOOL Land SALES
DATES SET FOR DISPOSAL OF
APPROXIMATELY 100000
ACRES.

Pierre, March 27.-April l to IS,
inclusive, is the date set for the sale
in 16 counties of the state of approx
imately 1905 0 acres of state and
school lands at public sale. This is
the largest bunch of land that has
ever been offered at the annual sales
and at the same time the land Is by
far the best land that has ever been
thrown on public auction.
The land is of several descriptions
and ranges in appraised price from
$40 to 500 per acre. Only two
counties, Meade and Butte, in which
land will be offered, lie beyond the
river. The sales are to be held in
those counties on April l and 2.
The rest of the counties and the
dates of sale are: Beadle, April 3;
Sanborn, April 4; Jerauld, April 5;
Miner, April 6; Dawson, April 8;
Hanson, April 8; Turner, April 10;
Lincoln, April IL; Minnehaha, April
12; Hamlin, April 13; Codington,
April Is; Clark, April 16; Brown,
April IT; Mcpherson, April II.
The land is sold on installment
basis, one-fourth cash down and the
balance in Is years.

new DEFENSE ACT
UNDER THE LAW THE GOVERN
OR BECOMES CHAIRMAN or
THE ORGANIZATION.

Pierre. March 27.-Gov. Peter
Norbeck today announced that but
few changes would be made just now
in the state and county councils of
defense. The new law authorizing
and governing these bodies name the
number of members and some
changes are imperative to comply
with 1t.
Under the law just passed the gov
ernor becomes chairman of the state
organization, which office previously
had been held by a gubernatorial ap-
pointee. Changes will have to be
made, as there are a few members
of the present body who have signi-
fled that their affairs are in such
shape that they cannot devote the
needed time to the organization and
their places probably will be filled.
The governor Is of the opinion that
the new law instead Of increasing the
work of the body will decrease it, as
the fact that the organization is now
clothed with strong powers to act is
expected to give ii much more
strength with the element with
which 1t has had trouble before and
cause their behavior to mend.
Gov, Norbeck is much pleased with
the labor law passed by the special
session and feels that it will be of
great value to the state. He says
that its passage will insure heavy
planting by farmers, for, though
there is no fear of a labor shortage,
there have been many who were
holding back on the labor question,
and with provisions made which
guarantee that labor will be forth
coming when the harvest is on, they
will naturally plant to their full ca
pacity.

LENTEN SERVICES
TRIBUTE TO RAILROAD MEN
MUSIC BY LADIES' DOUBLE
QUARTET TONIGHT.

The male choir from the German
Baptist church added much to the
musical program last evening at the
high school auditorium. The special
number given by it, II Belong to
Jesus" was beautiful in its sentiment
and in it's rendition.
Rev. Smith spoke from the text,
Hebrews 2:3: How shall we escape
if we neglect so great salvation
He showed that this salvation is
great because it is the only way OF
escape from sin. 1t Is great because
IL makes known the love of God. II
Is also great because Of the price
paid, the death of Jesus, the son OF
God, and ii is great because OF what
it does for men. The speaker paid a
high tribute to railroad men saying
that he had been a railroad man
himself and that he believed railroad
men to be the finest class OF men In
the world. He then told the story OF
Win Mcclure, who some years ago
was a railroad engineer, but who fell
into sin through liquor until he be-
came the most profane mar in his
community. After a time, through
the influence of his Christian wife
he was led to accept the salvation Of
Christ and became a very active and
earnest Christian worker. The story
was a thrilling one and was listened
to with deepest interest.
Many came forward at the close a.
indicating that they were willing tt
accept this salvation.
One of the finest musical treats o.
the campaign will occur this evening
when a ladies' double quartet, com
posed of Mesdames Smith, Runche,
and Holdridge and the Misses Clark
Marian, Bjornstad, Johnson anC
Witzel will sing an arrangement o.
the Shepherd Psalm, which no love
of music should miss. By reques
Prof. Mcbride will repeat Rock o
Ages" with variations as a trombon'
selection, and Evangelist Smith will
sing a solo. The subject of the ad
dress will be THE Difficulties in thu
Way"
The afternoon service tomorrow a
the Presbyterian church will be foI
women and girls and will be held a
$3.50 D. m. Mr.. Smith will repeat hi
discourse on "Wlll Living a Mora
Life Saver" and what was said re
garding secret societies.
A great union Easter service is Il
be held at s p. m. Sunday when beau
tiful Easter music win be enjoyed
and when the evangelist will speal
upon "Who Is the Strong MANI
Hear the tune of the Sextet from

SMUT in wheat
HOW THE SEED SHOULD BE
TREATED BEFORE
PLANTING.

Brookings, March 27.-Special:
More wheat is lost by smut than is
saved by wheatless days, according
to C. s. Reddy, of the United States
department of agriculture, who is
now working through State college
extension division and the college ag-
economists on smut prevention in
South Dakota. He says that while
smut on grain is an absolute waste,
it may be prevented easily and cheap
ly by the use of formaldehyde. This
prevents sinking smut of wheat,
covered smut of barley and oat and
rye smut.
The following directions are Of
fered: Use one pound-16 ounces
of formaldehyde to 40 gallons of wa
ter, and wet the grain with this So
luton by any method which allows
all grains to become evenly wet over
their entire surface. Sprinkling and
shoveling. If well done, is as effec-
tive as dipping. Place the grain in
a tight box, floor space or canvas,
Spray or sprinkle on the solution,
shovel and rake over the grain thor
oughTy and leave piled for an hour
or so until the exces moisture is alb
sorbed.
Use three-fourths of a gallon OF
the solution to each bushel of dry
wheat. Oats, barley or millet, prop
erly treated, will absorb about one
and a half gallons to each dry bush,
ell. To allow for slight swelling set
the drill to SOW the right number OF
seeds per yard of drill row.
Treating seed grain for smut is
real patriotism!

BELGIAN SOLDIERS
RED CROSS MAN PAYS FINE
TRIBUTE TO COURAGE OF
BELGIAN ARMY.

Belgian Front, March 27.-Maj.
Pohn van Schaick, acting director of
the department of Belgium of the
American Red Cross, paid a tribute
to the fighting spirit of the Belgian
soldiers on a recent visit to this
front, asserts the official eye witness
with the Belgian army. He said:
When l was here as your guest

about the splendid spirit of your
men. The most of us do not stop to
think that the Belgian soldiers by
the fortunes of war have a much
harder position to endure than the
soldiers of any other army. Even
the Americans can go back home,
and even the Australians and New
Zealanders can get letters from home
but a great number of Belgian sol
diers can neither visit their homes
nor get any information about their
families. In addition they have to
realize all the time that their wives
and children are in the power Of the
enemy they are fighting. Repeated

about this fact as being n of their

moment, put ourselves in their places

ATTEMPT TO TORPEDO
SOUTH DAKOTA BOY ON TRANS.
PORT WHICH GERMANS
TRIED TO SINK.

Canton, March 27.-How two at
tempts were made to torpedo and
sink a transport on which himself
and other South Dakota soldiers
were being transferred to France is
briefly described in a letter Just re-
cevied from Ray Corson, a Canton
boy, who will serve with Pershing's
army. He writes:
The first attempt was made when
we were out about nine days and 1t
was Is minutes to / in the afternoon
when one of the ships ran up the
submarine flag and the cruiser fired
its shot and the auxiliary cruiser
started forward full speed up to the
spot where danger was first sighted.
l happened to be on watch, that is,

port side of the lookouts, so | did
not have far to go when the abandon
ship signal was given and everybody
took their stations; that is, where we
were assigned to by drill in case we
were torpedoed.
THE second attempt was made on
the following day, and was also un-
successful, but the same perform
ance was gone through with again.
Only this time / al eating break

and the morning. This time it was
about Q o'clock in the morning and

supposed to hold up a person for As
hours. | was not a bit seasick and
very few were as the voyage was
comparatively calm. But ii was not
so bad and especially as we got over
safely, and the Tuscania was the
boat that was sunk and We left the
day ii was sunk and there were subs
all around us. When we were with,
in one day of land our convoy met
about 80 ships, torpedo chasers anC
