so far the next morning as to call

TO THE ELECTORS OF LAKE
COUNTY, =. ID.

Without solicitation on my part |
have been nominated as independent
republican candidate for the office
of county treasurer of Lake county,
South Dakota.
/ have been a resident of Rutland
township for IA years and have lived
in this county for Is years and have
lever asked for any county office.
My opponent has served as register
of deeds of this county for the past
four years, and is not satisfied, but
in turn wishes the voters of this
county to give him another four
years by electing him to the position
of county treasurer.
In the minds of the voters who
know this. there is only one conclu-
sion; namely, III the county has given
a man one good office for four years
which is the full limit that the law
permits any one to hold office, then
why should he be given some other
good office?
Mr.. Voter, think this over. If in
your decision your vote and support
is given to me | shall appreciate it.
Place an X in the circle before
my name.

Candidate for County Treasurer.

All together we brave the weather-the

Though to the earth, whence we all have
birth, their bodies sank when the

Not with these down the baffied breeze
their souls sank, soaring beyond

Upward ever and on forever. till the

The College in War Time

TN "MUNSEY'S" Henry Rood pre-
sents an outline of the work that
- American universities are doing and
sacrifices they are making for the
war. AS an instance of conservative in
stitution of moderate size, far removed
from the centre of the world of action,
he mentions Dartmouth College, situated
among the granite hills Of New Hamp-
shire
"ln such remote location, il anywhere,
one might expect to find the war spirit less
militant but what do we see in fact?
"The day before Herr Won Bernstorff re-
ceived his passports there were 1,494 stu
dents at Dartmouth. At the recent COM
mencement, one year after we had been at
war, approximately so per cent of the IN
dergraduates were in active service.
"Of the graduating class OF 1918, orgi-
service, second was held prisoner of war
by Germany, while Srhad remained to COM
plete their senior year, almost all of these
being technical students. With the 81 in
caps and gowns were about 40 in army and
navy uniform who had been able to obtain
leave of absence long enough to be present.
The remaining 1876 of the class Of 1913
We're IN camps here getting ready to go
overseas, or in foreign lands with their
commands; on board warships, or in air
service.
that within two weeks Of graduation 95
per cent Of the entire class Of 1918 would
be in the service Of the United States.
This is an inspiring record, when one re-
members that in addition to these seniors
more than 500 other students had left
freshman, sophomore and junior classes
and were already wearing the uniform;
that many Of the faculty, including Presi-
dent Hopkins, were occupying posts. of
heavy responsibility at Washington or else
where, and that Is Dartmouth men had
died in service.
