For County Judge: John A. Holmes
will be a candidate for the nomina-
ton for the office of County Judge of
Hughes county at the coming pri-
mary on the Republican ticket. He
trusts that his friends may Loyalty
remember him in this matter.
Now is the time for the annual clean.
up, repair and paint up in South Da
kota, and in this connection it will be
we'll for the fire chiefs to call the at
t%ention of the public to the rules and
regulations of the state laws regarding
the storage of rubbish. ashes and in
ilamable material.
The speech at the Dream Theater
last Monday night by jim Holm of
Pierre, was one of the best talks on
the war that we have heard this
year. jim is we'll posted and well
read and certainly knows how to de.
liver q talk that goes right home to
the audience. If our people would
come to their senses and wake up to
the situation and 60 into this matter
with all their might and tender their
services to the government this war
could be ended much sooner, than by
showing Indifference and trying to
eyade the draft and enjoy the com
forts of life that is denied those who
have Joined the army and are fight
ing our battles to make us safe in our
homes and our possessions. There
are too many in every section of the
country who are taking advantage Of
the draft law and having their sons
put in classes where they will not be
called. But if we miss our guess ev-
cry irregularity will be looked into
and there will be some sorry homes
in every community. The quickest
way to end the wal is to get behind
the government and enlist. Don't
wait until you are 81 or hold back be-
cause you are more than 81. There
is plenty room for all.-Viborg En-
terprise.

FARMERS REFUSE PAPER
South Dakota Leaguers Tell Editor
to Donate Subscriptions to
Red Cross.

AS a result of mistaken zeal In
fighting farmers organizations, the
editor Of The Gazette, Mitchell, S. D.,
has received a letter from the secre-
tary of the Farmers union, asking
him to stop the papers coming to
members of the organization and to
devote the balance on subscriptions
to the Red Cross.
The Mitchell Gazette, which has
been fighting the Non-partisan league,
has been coming to many farmers
who had not subscribed for it, paid
for evidently, by the big interests
who view the growth of the league
with alarm. By refusing to take,
even for a gift, the paper that is mis-
representing their cause, the farmers
of South Dakota are simply following
the example Of farmers in other parts
OF the Northwest.

SHOW FLOUR PROFITS LARGE
Montana City Cuts Prices in Half by
Manufacturing at
Home.

Proof of enormous profiteering in
flour is found in the experience of
Harlem, Montana, where the citizens
got together and erected a small flour
mill which cut the price of flour in
half. The Terry, Montana, Tribune,
which makes this statement, says
that a number of communities on the
Yellowstone have got relief by the
same method.
No palmer case was eve made in
favor of state owned flour mills. The
Montana farmer must sell his wheat
at the Minneapolis price, less freight.
He must buy his flour at the Mime
apolis price, plus freight and plus the
profits that have been taken by the
various agencies along the journey.
At least a half a dozen of these
useless middlemen who contribute
nothing to the value Of the product,
have to be supported. The buyer at
the original point, the commission
firm in Minneapolis, the buyer for
the mill, the milling company, all
have to be settled with before the
flour is made. On the journey back
the product must support wholesaler,
jobber and retailer. The ~transporta-
tion companies take profit both ways.
This illustrates the useless expense
by middlemen hat the Non-partisan
league is organized to eliminate. BY
acting together the people of Mon
tana may cut their flour bill in two
as was done at Harlem, and they
may treat their meat bill in the
same way by organizing state-owned
packing plants.

peeted to pay for No. l Red Winter
Wheat approximately the price Civ
en-. and for No approximately
three cents per bushel less.
Every farmer should get this

sentation TO the German COM
mandcrs on the western front
Washington. Nov. 5.-Germany is
rendered powerless by the terms of
the armistice which have been
agreed upon unanimously by the
conference at Versailles. The terms
have been signed by the Allies and
the United States. If accepted they
mean the full surrender of Germany
and an immediate end of the war.
The conditions follow the outline
given by the United States of
what would be required to preserve
the supremacy of American and
Allied arms The German empire
is made powerless to renew hostil-
tiles.
Secretary Lansing made this state
ment;
According to official reports re-
ceived last evening, the terms of the
armistice to be offered Germany
have been agreed to and signed by
the representatives of the Allies and
the United States in Paris.
The report further states that
diplomatic unity has been completely
achieved under conditions OF the ut
most harmony"
1t is understood the terms are TO
be submitted to Germany Immediate
ly, and that their publication in full
will follow shortly. The statement
has been authorized that the drastic
conditions under which Austria
dropped out of the war furnish an
accurate indication of their nature.
Since in seeking an end of hostil-
titles, the German government ad-
dressed itself to President Wilson.
it is assumed here that the armstice
terms will be transmitted to Berlin
through the American government.
The President remained in Washing
ton to-day having abandoned his pro-
posed trip to New Jersey to vote in
the Congressional elections.
While confident that the conditions
to be proposed to Germany mean
nothin- short of unconditional sur
render. many military and diplomatic
observers here believe they will be
accepted. With her last and principle
ally out of the war and her armies
crumbling under the constant ham,
mering of Marshal Foch, Germany,
