electors. Five or six Chinese
had registered under the 1917
call and there are eleven too,
old to come within the call.
There is no discounting the 10y
atty of the Nogales Chinese and
they entered into the patriotic
spirit of the occasion with all
the enthusiasm of the native
American. They are all well
posted on war conditions. One
who said he expressed the feel
ing Of all, said: "Ghina boy,
him ready to fight Germans.
China boy no like peace now; +;
whip Germans till he crawl in
dust, then make peace and have
all people free just Ike United
States, best country in the
world"
The total numbe. of regis
trants up to closing time, 8
O'Clock last night, was 817.
These were divided as follows
Citizens, 371; alien declarants,
"a; alien non-declarants, 1872.
It viii be seen that the latter
are in the majority, most of
whom are Mexicans. Forty-six

A BUSY HOLIDAY
PATRIOTS FLOCK TO FRONT
Registration Day Duly Observ,
ed-A Patriotic Holiday
Notes and Incidents

Registration day opened ear
ly yesterday with a swing and
a vigor characteristically Anne
rican at the court house. The
superior court room had been
placed in order for the work the
day before and no time was
lost in getting down to work.
Chief Registrar James d. Barry
and his capable corps of assist
Pants were promptly on hand, as
were the registrants and the
work proceeded without hitch.
So great was the rush early in
the morning that it was neces-
sary to put to work additional
registrars, the number reach
ing about thirty, instead Of the
eight selected for the first
shift. Even with all this force
of workers by 9 o'clock the
stream Of registrants in line
reached from the court room
to the farther end of the main
corridor. The true American
ism and patriotic impulse of the
vast throng was reflected in the
good nature and loyal express
si~~~ lord on every hand.
lal o had business engag-
ments for the day and others
who feared they might be call
ed away, had registered We'd
nesday.
Contrary to the expectations
of many a large number of Mex
leans we're among the first to
get in line and among them
were many too old to come
within the call and others too
young, but we're insistent that
they be allowed to register.
About all nationalities were rep
resented and there was not one
among them who faltered OF
seemed to feel that the registra-
ton was undesirable on their
part.
Mexican Consul Cara Ear
tuche and Vice Consul Casasola
we're early arrivals and aided
greatly in going among their
nationals and explaining the
aims and objects Of the regis
tration. There was considera-
BILE jollying between the two
consolar representatives and
registrars, the latter suggesting
that the former register and
otherwise assume American
citizenship. Later Consul Ter
tuche remembered that he had
not as yet received his exaqua-
tur as consul and telegraphed
Ambassador Bonillas at Wash
ington. The reply came that
under the circumstances they
must register the same as any
other Mexican citizen resident
of the United States and what
was at first a good natured JoE
living became a cold reality and
both gentlemen registered.
Among the first foreigners to
respond were the Chinese resi-
dents. Six registered, four of
whom are citizens and electors.
Three others who had not yet
brought their families here,
went to Tucson to register, one
a voter and the other two citi-

HAND COUNTY POSSIBILITIES

Keen observers of conditions, both
local, state and national, are rapidly
arriving at the conclusion that we are
upon the Eve Of a period Of develop
ment that will make a material
change in the values of South Dakota
property, and Hand county is in the
very center CT this coming movement.
The building and development OF a
country is a question OF time and re-
sources The first generation had
few resoui ces. They were able to
develop only lighly by severe trials
and labor. The second generation
faces an entirely different condition.
Resources are abundant, prosperity is
general, money Is easy. Capital Is
seeking loan investment through
Federal loans, state loans, bank loans,
and private loans.
The logical result OF this condition
will be Improvement, Development
and development gives a country its
value. The present success OF this
locality has been obtained by diver
sifed farming and stockraising, the
most substantial basis of prosperity
known to man. But this county has
not reached one-half its possibility
In agriculture, and yet. more devel-
opment is going on over Hand county
than most OF her citizens realize. AS
an illustration. just to start thought
In this direction. 1t may be noted that
In the past few years a dozen new
farms have been developed and i'm
proved In Miller township alone.
Pursue such an inquiry over the coun-
ty. and very general surprise would be
the result.

THE WORLD DO MOVE

st. Paul Pioneer-P ress-In the most
casual way we are discussing plans
for aerial mail service between i'm
portant points in the United States,
Eventually this service will be estab-
lished and then, In the same matter
OF fact way, we will plan extensions
TO all points where speed is sought
and the added cost Is of no conse-
quence. And so the marvellous of to-
day becomes the commonplace Of to-
morrow.
One of the recent of the striking
cartoons of "Ding" In these newspa-
pers showed the typical family man
about to 'try out" his new airplane
just received, with printed directions
for its management. The children
were piled into the fuselage and faith
err was spinning the propeller to start
the engine. Obviously the occasion
created no more excitement than a
ked a previous one when the first
motor car was taken out for a family
Joy ride. Now the car Is deserted in a
corner of the lot and cobwebs decor
ate its windshield and festoon it's
wheel.
Reproduce that cartoon ten years
from now and II will be without a hui
morcrs feature II will be as comic
as a scene in which Dobbin Is dis
carded in favor Of the first fiivver-
which was doubtless the subject OF
more than one smile-provoking pro-
duct OF Mr.. Darling's pencil. At this
same later date the announcement OF
the installation of aerial service be-
tween g. 81 ns:! and Duluth ~~aa create
as much excitment as the opening Of
anew rural delivery route today.
The world do move. The entire ca
reer OF the modern motor a is with
in the memory of the younger genera
ton and that distance-annihilating We
hicle has passed from the status OF a
seven-day wonder to a commonplace
fixture of everyday life. What may
we not expect II the aerial machine
in It's rapid evolution shall equal-as
Il will-or outdo-as it may-the de-
vsiopment Of the motor car. Skill
and ingenuity will surmount the chef
obstacle In the way Of the immediate
and general use Of the airplane. 1t
cannot poise in the air and sink gent
" to q resting place. 1t demands
large space for beginning and ending
its fiights. But what are these dim
culties to the conquering brain Of
man? The time will come when the
conquest OF the air will be complete
and when the world will marvel how
people Oh the late nineteenth century
managed to set alens without an air
plane IN every housshoia.

LAND AND THE SOLDIER

Minneapolis Journal: Whoever Is
looking to see the homecoming sol
diers marching In mass to raw farm
lands set apart by the government for
their special use, Is doomed 10 dis
appointment. There are two chief
| reasons for this: First, the govern
/! ment has no adequate supply OF suit
| able lands; second, probably no great
ldpart OF the returning soldiers will
care to go pioneering.
Nearly all untitled arabic LAM in
America is now in private hands II
Ia estimated that about seventeen mil
| lion acres of reclamable arid lands re-
main; that there are about two hum
| dred million acres of rough cut-over
lands and about fifty thousand acres
| of drainable swamp lands, practically
| all of which have been on the market
in their present ragged condition for
years. This land did not attract the
| young men before they went to war
| and nothing has been done to make 1t
more attractive since they have been
at war.
II a deed to a quarter section OF this
land we're given to every returning
soldier, we know what would happen
for we have only to look at recent his
tory. All but a few of the soldiers
would sell their land scrip to specu-
lators, and the land would pass into
the hands Of large holders, while the
titled area of the country would not
be much increased.
Giving land to soldiers. or helping
them to acquire land when they have
no taste or capacity for farming, Is
working against natures laws. IL an
ex-soldier Is to receive help in the
world, 1t should be along lines that
will count for the most to him III
the soldier chooses to re a harness
maker rather than a tanner, the aid
should be in a form that will forward
his harness making. II his bent is to
be a locomotive driver, he should be
helped to the high seat in the cab.
Otherwise, the aid is Of full value only
to the ex-soldier who knows how to
farm raw land at a profit.
One weakness OF the soidier-and-
land plan is that it is built on artificial
lines. 1t is primarily a cut and-dried
land plan, not a plan for the best in
terests of the men. Perhaps this
country is not greatly suffering for a
rapid extension of titled acreage. Per-
haps the returning army will SO quick
ly take to It's old vacations that there
will be no more soldier problem six
months after the war than there was
six months before the war,
II, however, ii is found that a large
number of returned soldiers are not
readily or quickly absorbed into the
Industries, and that a considerable
promotion OF these do desire farms,
these men will be best aided and the
food supply of the country will be
more quickly increased, by selecting
lands already under plow but more or
less fallow, at least lands upon which
crops can be grown from the begin
ming and by financing the young vet
Grams on these lands.
Land developers best on lines OF
least resistance and so will the for
tunes of the returned soldiers.
