, is soon to be torn down." said Mr.
Mudd. 1T is often written that
Ford's Theater was formerly used
as a Baptist church. The building
on Tenth street in which Lincoln was
shot was built for a theater. The
church building which had been con-
verted into a theater, was burned
down, and the present building
erected to replace It.
Few persons seem ever 20 have
heard in this connection OF the at
tempt to reopen Ford's Theater as a
theater some months after the assas-
sination OF Lincoln. The War Depart
ment sent a file OF soldiers down and
the opening did not take place. No
play ever took place on that stage
after Wilkes Booth shot the Presi-
dent"
Started When But Seven.
Mr.. Mudd is sixty-eight years Of
age, though he does not look it, and
he has been theatergoing here since
he was seven years OF age. In those
sixty-one years all the great figures
OF the American stage have swept
before his eyes. Charlotte Cushman
and Nine. Ristori. Edwin Booth, and
John Wilkes Booth, the elder Sothern.
Joseph Jefferson, and William F.
Florence, Lawrence Barrett, Vesta
Vail, the English girl actress, whom
President Lincoln went to see five
times in two weeks. Maggie Mitchell,
famous in "Fanchon, the Cricket"
Mary Anderson--these, and many 9th
ers. Mr.. Mudd cav in days now past
In a dAter day came Henry Irving and
others OF whom today's theatergoers
have had a glimpse.
Mr. Mudd still goes to the theater
when anything that Is, in his opinion,
worth While comes along, and this is
fairly often. for his taste is catholic.
Nor does he think that all the great
actors lived in the past The stage
today is in q healthy state, he be-
lieves.
Mr.. Mudd is one OF WashinEton's
veteran newspaper men. For eighteen
years he was day manager OF the As
ISOLATED Press, and ne also held long
connection with the United Press and
the old Southern Press. His priceless
theatrical collections are housed in
his study at his residence.

Thanksgiving

The message announcing the
end OF the war came to Kadoka
and its coming brought joy to
the hearts of her people. meaning
the end of the gigantic struggle
in which the nations of the world
have been engaged, and making
it possible for the return of our
boys in the not very distant fu-
ture. The message of peace came
to kadoka at a time when it was
deemed inadvisable to hold any
celebration, as the hearts of all
our people were Saddened and
beat with SYMPATHY for the pa
rents and relatives of the first
of Kadoka's soldier boys to ans
wer the last call and make the
great sacrifice for his country.
Considerable discussion h as
been INDUCED in and it seems to
be the opinion of a great many
that at this time of the year when
we have SO much of Joy and
thanktulness with which to APP
proaCh the Thanksgiving season
that the day set aside for giving
thanks to our Creator, would be
a fitting and proper time for Ka-
doka and the people of this com
munity to gather together and
give thanks for the liberty, vic
tory and prosperity that has been
granted to us, and in fact that we
set aside that day for a Commun-
ity Thanksgiving when we can
all gather together and spend the
day in a fitting manner.
The Press has been requested
to state that a meeting will be
held at the Court Room in the
Court House on Monday evening
and that it is requested that every
one who can, will be present and
that the matter of a gathering OF
this kind will be taken UP and
decided. Let us all tu1n out 40
the meeting Monday evening as
this is a matter that should in
tereSt everyone.

Saturday morning the hearts OF
/ the people of this community
were Saddened when word reach
ed here that the first of kadoka' S
soldier boys to answer the call of
the Divine Commander of all the
| Universe was Cecil NJ. Root, who
passed away at the army hospital
at Fort DeSMoineS, Iowa, at the
hour of GAS that morning. Cecil
was the last of Kadoka's boys to
volunteer in the army and the
last of July when he lett here was
the picture of health, strong and
robust, and ready to give his all
that we at home might enjoy the
comforts of peace and live our
lives in security in world made
safe for us and our onCominG gen
erations by the BOYS who were
freely offering themselves tomake
possible this ideal world.
In the days of strife thatWe were
passing through during the early
months of the summer Cecil heard
the call of his country, and while
but a boy, only nineteen years of
age, he answered the call and
went to the training camp to pre-
pare himself for the great battles
across the sea. He was ready
and willing to do his best, to give
his life if necessary and the one
who rules the destiny of US all
called upon this young man to lay
down his life on the alter of lib
erty, and with the passing OF Ce-
Gil M. Root another golden star
is placed upon our service flag,
and another young hero has pass
ed to the other shore from whence
no travelOr returns, ard he too is
enjoying the peace and liberty
that his sacrifice has made posi-
BILE for us.
Just why a young man, just en-
,erin9 upon his days of manhood,
with everything in this world be-
fore him, should be called away is
something we mortalS cannot un-
derstand.
Cecil NJ. Root was born on a
farm near Harrington, Cedar Co.,
Nebraska, July IA, 1899, and pass
ed away at the hospital at Fort
DesMoines, Iowa, November 9th
1918, at GAS a. m. In 1906, when
but seven years of age, he came
to South Dakota with his parents
and settled on a farm northwest
of Kadoka, and has grown to
young manhood in our midst. On
July %, 1918 he enlisted in the
quarter masters department of
the United States army and on
the 3lst of that month he left for
the recruiting office at Mitchell
from which place he was sent to
Jefferson Barracks and after a
short time there he was transfer

two weeks before his death Cecil
was stricken with that dread dis

That There Are Times to Dodge

The conversation in the lobby Of a

of lodging responsibility, when this

gan:

The more extensive use Of labor-sav-
Ing implements will make 1t easier in
1913 TO approximate the record-break-
ing acreage of 1917, especially when
employed in sections where corn is
now grown probably but on a more
limited scale than Is desirable because
present methods require q large
amount of man labor. The more gen.
eral use of recently developed and inn
proved tractors that are adapted to
the Uses of the small farm as well as
the large farm would tend to increase
the acreage and to effect q saving in
labor. The use of larger plows, har-
rows, and other implements used In
fitting the land would make it possible
to accomplish more work per man.
Similarly the substitution Of two-row
planters and two-row and double Gull
tivators In place of smaller and less
efficient implements would make 1t
possible to do the same amount of
work with less expenditure of labor.
Replant Missing Hills.
In some e~orn-growing sections it is
the practice to repIant missing hills
as soon as the corn is up to q stand.
Frequently this is done by dropping
kernels by hand and covering with a
hoe. A labor-saving and quicker meth
cd would be the use Of small hand
planters. These could be used to ad-
vantage for the first planting also In
sections where comparatively small
areas are planted and where 1t is at
present the custom to drop the corn
by hand and cover with the hoe.
It Is the practice in some localities
to plant a much larger number of kerr
nels than the number of stalks de-
sired and to thin to the desired stand
when the corn plants are about 6 to 8
inches tall. This method may be sat
