company of his regiment and was
twice promoted during his year of
service, first to the rank of corporal
and next to the rank of sergeant.
During the great March and April
drive his regiment was changed from
the Toul front to the Picardy front
and fought in the latter part of that
great battle. AT this time, April 26,
the colonel of his regiment was killed
and April 2S he was overcome with
gas. The last letter his folks had
from him was written May 1, and he
was then in the hospital. 1t is evil
dent that he had not been back to
his regiment long before he was
killed.
Thus ends the life and career of
Eugene McKibbin. Cut down in the
full vigor of his young manhood, he
has made the supreme sacrifice, the
greatest any human being can make.
"As Christ died to make men holy,
he died to make men free"
All honor to him and to all of our
brave boys in France who are fight
ing and dying If need be in our great
cause.

So near is God to man,
When duty calls, 'Lo, thou must
The youth replies, L cam"
He was born with a destined work
to do and the ann of his death
consecrates his memory. Monuments
may crumble to dust, cities may fall
into ruin, the rock ribbed hills may
be washed into the ocean, many
things may change and pass away,
but so long as history is read, what
he died for and the sacrifice he made
will be remembered. 1t was his
privilege to participate in the great
est event in the worlds history and
to fight and die for human freedom.
May we not here and now renew
again our devotion to the cause "for
which he gave his full measure of de-
votion," and resolve again that he
shall not have died in vain. Yes, let
us do all in our power to back our
splendid boys in France to win the
war and make the nations of the
world free.

SNAKES GO TO SCHOOL
RATTLESNAKES BREAK u
SCHOOL NEAR MCINTOSH.

Mcintosh, June 3.-Ambitious rat
tlesnakes who became regular at
tendants at a country school three
miles from town were not welcome,
When they would not quit the school
did and the young woman teacher has
returned to her home in Rapid City.
1t seems that in this locality there
dwell a large number of rattlesnakes.
Where they got the impulse or the
desire is not known, but quite a num-
Der of the snake family residing in
the neighborhood became thirsty for
an education. They insisted upon
coming to school every day. AS their
regularity in attendance increased
there was a noticeable irregularly
about the attendance of the scholars.
The children simply would not frat
ernize with the rattlers.
When the teacher, Miss Grace M.
Boland, would reach the schoolhouse
in the morning she would find sew
eral rattlesnakes curled up on the
platform leading to the main en-
trance. This is on the south side of
the building and on the warm days
in particular the snakes enjoyed the
sun baths. While they never offered
to strike, as at this time of the year
year are rather quiet, 1t was not a
very pleasant sensation for the teach
er or the pupils to come onto the plat
form and walk among the snakes
The children become frightened and
would refuse to come to school.

LANGUAGE PROTEST
PETITIONS FILED WITH STATE
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.

Pierre, June "a number of pc
titions for and protests against the
extension of time for the putting in
to effect the order of the council of
defense prohibiting the use of Ger
man at all public meetings have been
filed with the state council of de-
Tense. A meeting of the executive
committee will be held here tomor-
row to consider these applications.
Howard, June 3.-The provision in
the order of the South Dakota coun-
ell of defense prohibiting the use of
the German language in public which
it is alleged, provided a loophole
whereby 1t can be used in church
services and other public meetings
has resulted in considerable friction
here.
Rev. Mr.. Jehn, pastor of the Ger
man Lutheran church, of Howard,
Immediately after the publication of
the order circulated a petition asking
that the use of the German language
be allowed in his church and went to
Pierre to present it to the council.
AS soon as this became known cit
liens who do not believe that the use
OF the German language is necessary
or desirable bombarded the council
with kilograms protesting against the
modification of the order, and it is
believed that the council will ignore
the petition presented by Mr.. Jehn.
Miner county is loyal to the core, and
there is widespread feeling that the
German language and German publ
cations should be dispensed with dur
ing the war, at least.
