EXTRA SESSION
NOT NECESSARY, NOR HAS EVEN
GOOD EXCUSE, SAYS SEN
ATOR URDAHL.

When asked this morning whether
Gov. Norbeck would call an extra SEES
sion of the legislature, Senator Hans
Urdahl answered that he hoped not.
Further than that he did not know,
and opined that he thought the gov
ernor not in favor of such an action,
but that he might be influenced to
II by the opportunities of many civic
organizations.
Senator Urdahl says that there is
absolutely nothing to cali the legisla-
tors together for. Organizations
throughout the state have adopted
resolutions favoring a call, to con-
slider means of home defense. and
some other minor matters. But for
this there is nj need. We have the
state sheriff with extraordinary pow
ers, and our local sheriffs organized
into a state constabulary for anything
except extraordinary danger. For
the enforcement of the laws of the
military departments with relation to
the men drafted into the national
army the United States officers are
better fitted and equipped for the
work, and may work in conjunction
with the local officers.
With-so little or the absolute lacl
of reason for an extra session of the
legislature, Mr.. Urdahl says that i
would only serve to aggrayate al
ready crowded conditions in thu
state houses of Pierre. He says tina
1t is not popularity known hat oul
legislative halls and the state offices
are too small, and that the lobbie
and chambers are occupied by vari
Gus boards and officers. The com
mittee rooms are occupied by SOM
branch of state service. An extr'
session would serve to make the con
gested condition of these officers in
tolerable, and would. as far as h
could see, result in no recompensinI
good.

SURVEY FOR THE WOMAN'S COM.
MITTEE OF THE COUNCIL
OF NATIONAL DEFENSE.

To the Editor: At the last meet
ing of the Civic club Mrs. w. l..
Thompson presented the matter of
the registration of all women for pa
triotic service. The club agreed to
take the responsibility of making a
house to house canvass with the aid
of committees of ladies from various
sections of town. The war depart
ment desires information as to what
you can and will do, what you are
trained for, what you desire training
for or what you can do as an anna
teur. There is scarcely a department
of work that women cannot enter.
In the agricultural department there
is dairying, fruit raising, gardening,
poultry raising. Under clerical work
there is filing, typewriting, stenog-
raphy, shipping clerk, private secre-
tary. Under social service there is
camp work, charities, hospitals, play
grounds. Under professional actress,
irchitect, author, chemist, reader,
journalist; what "a you do in your
home: Knit, sew, care for orphaned
children, etc. Will you go anywhere,
in United States only. or can you
serve only in your home town? These
and many other questions the war de-
partment is asking the women of the
nation to answer. A contribution al
so is asked for which is purely vol
untary, from 5 cents TO SIS, whatever
your means permits. This fund Is to
be used for those who desire special
training, as well as to pay Incidental
expenses such as printing, postage,
etc.
We are behind some of the other
towns in starting our survey, Huron
having completed and Sioux Falls
having about completed theirs. But
where many of the towns are making
two and three surveys We are secur-
ing the same information by combin.
ing the patriotic, social and educa.
tional surveys in one canvass, so tina
the home need be visited only once
1t is hoped that every home will co.
operate in making the information
desired as complete as possible.

will meet in Prof. Buechel's office IL

The committee in charge of this dis

would be by a district tournament
which is to be held in Madison, the
most centrally located city in the dis

have signified their intention OF CON-

COMING TO MADISON
MIR. JOHN b. LORD WILL SPEAK
ON THE FOOD SITUATION.

The United States food administra-
ton, through the efforts of the South
Dakota state officer, is sending to
Madison Mr.. John B. Lord. who will
speak on the food situation at the
present time.
The federal government sent six
men to Europe for the sole purpose of
studying food conditions, and this
speaker will tell us of the results OF
that study. All should take advan-
tage of the opportunity to hear about
these interesting things at first hand
The high school auditorium has
been donated for the evening and we
hope to have a rousing meeting with
community singing led by the church
choirs of the city. All you men and
women are urged to turn out ant

of Lake county be shown by an over
capacity house. Thursday next, higf

Houston is Optimistic
 on the Food Situation

Washington February 25.-secretary Houston today gave to the House az riculture committee an optimistic view of the food situation in the country as whole and said there was no need for any hysteria over a danserous shortage of any commodity.
 The secretary was called before the committee to discuss the bill proyid- ing for extending funds to farmers to buy seed, particularly in the north west. where much of the late crop oi grain contained too much moisture to make it valuable for seed this spring. He gave no opinion on the wisdom of the proposal.
 Chairman Lever said later he did not think information given the commit tee today would warrant extending financial aid to farmers for purchas- ing seed. Representatives of the west ern states insist 1t is essential and will make a fight for the legislation.
