At Tulsa, Oklahoma, a few days
ago Joe Sing, German waiter, was
shot and instantly killed for making
the statement that he hoped that ev-
cry American in France would be
killed. Another man, Steve Iverofff,
was killed by policeman for saying
that he hoped the Germans would win
the war. Reports of mob violence
are becoming more numerous all over
the country. This is to be deplored,
as there is nothing more dangerous to
society than mob law. But yet. this
result is sure to follow the lax meth.
DDS that our government has followed
in dealing with spies and traitors.
Among all Of the esnss that hsye.
been positively proven against bomb
plotters, spies in munition plants, and
plotters Of all kinds, not one has yet
been given a death sentence. Most
Of them have been interned where
until the end Of the war they will be
given comfortable quarters and ra-
tions better than the average citizen
can afford. 1t is no wonder that the
public becomes exasperated and takes
matters into it's own hands. Hun
dreds of American lives have been
sacrificed by reason of the work of
these plotters, and the slaughter will
continue to 60 on until more drastic

A number Of Scotland citizens went
to Tyndall last Saturday evening TO
attend meeting of the county COM
mittee that has in charge the pushing
Of the sale of Liberty Loans. In con-
formity with the action Of the state
committee it was decided to postpone
the great drive until April Is, in
stead Of April 6. as previously plan
ned. On account Of the prosperous
condition Of South Dakota, as shown
by the increase in bank deposits, the
national board has increased the APP
portionment for this state about ten
millions Of dollars, making the ap-
portionment for the third loan $22,-
900, 600. On account Of poor crops
in North Dakota and Minnesota the
allotments Of those states were low
cred. and the allotment Of South Da-
kota is now three and one-half times
that Of North Dakota. This will
make it little harder to go over the
top than it was before, but the vari-
GUS committees are going at the work
systematically. A list is made Of
each mans assessment, and he will
be asked to subscribe certain per
cent Of that assessment. 1t 10 but
justice to the various committees to
state that they are doing this work
absolutely free Of charge. The inn
preston prevails with some that these
mon are we'll paid for this work, but
this is untrue. It 10 purely a patri-
otto service that they are performing.
and every citizen should aim to helI
the committee as much as possible,
and be prepared to do all he can in
the way Of contributions. This j.

That universal military training is

titled, "Conscription and Universal
Training for War and Peace" was

part:
at would seem safe to draw con-
c.usions somewhat as follows:
lone. The United States has grown
from the estate of an isolated rural
country to that of first-class world
power and its responsibilities have
grown accordingly, to its own people
and to the rest of the world. By
means of modern science, its geo
graphic isolation has been destroyed.

world war, and no man can foretell
the result Defenses that were sup
posed to be ample decade ago have
been seen to crumble before the on
slaugh of modern warfare. It there

was deferred Six more teachers
were elected.
Quite number of the teachers,
that were elected for next year, de-
clincd to accept because they were
not satisfied with the salaries offered.
Mrs. Earl Girvin, teacher of geogra-
ply at the high school, said her
plans were uncertain for next year,
and she did not care to sign the con-
tract, but would eglad to work for
the board as a substitute. J. e. Cor

effect at the end of the school year,
AS instructor in physics and chemis-

thought he should have $125 a
