farmer should not exceed five cents a

tain ample supplies for seed purposes

GOVERNOR N0RBECK
Issues Call For Special Session of the
Legislature to Meet Monday,
May Eighteenth.

Under date of March 8 Governor Peter
Norbeck has issued a proclamation for a
special session of the state legislature, to
convene on March Is. The governor
sets forth in his proclamation the yari-
Gus emergency legislation that is needed
at the present time and from the list it
is evident that the session will be longer
than most extra sessions are. His
proclamation is as follows:
Whereas, since the adjournment of
the last regular session of the South Da-
kota legislature, various emergent stu
ations have arisen demanding and nee
essitating legislative attention and enact
ment, and
Whereas, it is apparent that a condi-
ton critical in the extreme obtains at
the state twine plant, due to prevailing
abnormal prices of sisal; that at several
of our state institutions fuel funds are
almost completely exhausted that de-
fects exist in our election laws which, if
not remedied, will prevent our soldier
boys abroad from exercising their suf-
frage right; that no legal authority is
vested in either our state council of de-
fense or home guard organizations; that
the prohibition amendment to the
federal constitution awaits and should
receive ratification; and that certain
other measures-limited in number
are essential to the proper maintenance,
conduct and development of our state
institutions, departments and resources.
"Now, therefore, l, Peter Norbeck,
governor of the state of South Dakota,
do hereby declare and proclaim that an
extraordinary occasion exists and is
present which requires the legislature
of the state of South Dakota to be con-
vened in special session and it is so con-
vened, to meet at the capitol in the city
of Pierre on Monday, the 18th day of
March, 1918, at the hour of ten o'clock
in the forenoon, for the purpose Of con-
sidering emergency measures as above.
All members of the said legislature are
required to take notice and attend upon
said special session.
"Giyen under my hand and the great
seal of the State of South Dakota at the
capitol in the city of Pierre, this ninth
day of March, A. ID. 1918.
PETER NORBECK.
(Seal) Governor.
"By the Governor,
Frank NJ. Rood.
Secretary Of State"

SOLDIER LETTER,

Harley Barnes, of Custer, a member
of Co. A, ll5th Engineers now at Camp
Kearney, Cal, writing to his sister, Mrs.
Carl w. Schick, under date of March
9TH, says
81 received your most welcome letter
yesterday and will answer it this rainy
day between drills. Tomorrow is the
day set for the big review, but if this
rain keeps up they will have to postpone
it again.
81 just got back from dinner and will
try and scratch you few more lines.
We have been feeding pretty good late
ly. We had roast beef, mashed pota-
toes, brown gravy, prunes, bread and
tea for dinner
"We sure had some feed and blowout
here Tuesday night 1t wasn't no holi-
day or anything, but our Company gave
it to keep the men feeling good more
than anything else. The band came
over from the l57th Infantry and they
we're in one end of our mess ball. They
played al! the time we were eating and
after supper the entertainment lasted
until $50 For supper we had roast
turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes,
gravy, pickles, celery, two kinds of vege-
table salad, bread and butter, one orange
piece about the size of an average
mans head, mince pie, cake with whip
ped cream, cigarettes, cigars and grape
juice to drink Some feed l claim for
common soldier. The band played ten
or twelve pieces. We bad two comic
stump speeches from a couple of our
boys. Two violin players and banjo
player gave three different pieces. Five
or six different songs from different boys
of the Company. The Chaplain return
ed thanks before we ate and gave us a
speech after supper. He is a fine man
and fine speaker.
1--WE had two guests for supper, a
Lieutenant and Sergeant Major from
the British army. Both have seen two
years of action in France. They both
gave little experience they had on the
firing line and it was sure interesting to
hear it, The officer told several funny
incidents that happened Over there
they speak of battle as a show and they
never bear the word of battle.
81 don't believe there is a person in
the army that is more anxious to get
across than am, for am thinking the
sooner we get across there and whip
those Germans the sooner We will get
back, for think that is the only way
this war will ever come to close.
"Charley Sager has been in bed for
about three weeks now. His side still
bothers him from his operation. Idon't
think he will be able to 20 across with
US when we leave.
"Wel Sis | will bring this to close
! for | don't want to make you loose too
much of your time reading or | should
say trying to make it out"

JUDGE BABCOCK'S COURT
AN INTERESTING L

The entertainment under the auspices
of the |. o. o. +. lodge, held last week
at Opera House, was veritable scream of
humor The Court during the session
handed down some very important
decisions and together with the peril
nent comments given and the evidence
brought out, form very timely com
ment on the foibles and eccentricities of
the town customs. Incidently, the
Judge indicated such poise of mind
and fine capacity for distinction in judg-
ment that it is the concensus of opinion
that should another vacancy occur on
the Supreme Bench during this Admin.
istration, we who have influence with
the President would at once suggest
Judge Babcock for the honor. Perhaps
the star" figure of the court was the
Getty Cop" Dave Haxby, who perform
ed the will of the court in a manner en-
tirely in keeping with the occasion. The
legal light and exponent of Blackstone
was Mr.. Ed Rogers and this is enough
to guarantee the impartiality of the pro-
secutions. Mrs. Fred Heidepriem was
the Court Stenographer. Among the
several important cases decided were;
Wife asks protection from drinking
husband Granted By Judge.
A truancy case. School Board fined
$1,000
Divorce case wife plaintiff. Decree
granted, maiden name restored
Larceny, stealing sack of Mile High
-four. Thief justified and case dis
charged.
Defendant accused of Pro-German
singing during Red Cross meeting. Case
dismissed.
Teacher VS.. Custer School Board. Case
dismissed by Judge.
Theft of Saginaw Automobile Case
dismissed.
Auto accident from bad roads. Laid
on the shelf by judge.

forgot that we were in the West and

Altogether the entertainment furnish

was decided success. The order appre-

always coming from Custer to its home

on the organization and membership.

Some effects OF airplane nlghts Ut
very high attitudes are described IN
recent English report. Height ei-
fectso begin to be felt at loVoo fee'
and become marked In most cases from

ties are cold and lack OF oxygen
Strange to say. no airplane has YET
been devised on plan which DELHI
erately utillzes the heat of the engine
to keep the passengers warm, although
any tractor model has this effect TO
some extent. The matter OF oxygen
is solved by taking supply In con-
talner, which the aviator mixes with
air when he feels oppressed. II Is
feared that flying at very high al

ture by further development OF mod
