Shrine Destroyer in Danger.

Destroying a shrine nearly cost a
woman her life at Kalma, Korea. 1t
seems that a shrine located in her gar
den was frequented by the Koreans
in the neighborhood and a great many
of them visited it every day. In do
ing so, they trespassed on the garden
itself and did much damage, to the
great annoyance of the owner. To put
a stop to this, the lady destroyed the
shrine, and this enraged the Koreans.
They set fire to the house, and were
about to kill the owner when a force
of police dispersed them.

Faithful Doc.

A dogs faith in it's master has been
t%ouchingly illustrated at Riom, France,
recently. The man has gone to the
war, and has been killed, but the dog
still awaits his return, and he refuses
to leave the station at Riom. Upon the
arrival of each train he dashes out on
to the platform, runs first to the loco
motive and then scampers from car
riage to carriage, looking for the object
of his affection-until the whistle
blows and he is left to gaze w~istfuIly,
as he did once in 1914.

RAPID CITY TO HANDLE LABOR
FOR WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA

The Department of Labor in order to
facilitate the distribution of labor has
opened number of U. :. Employment
offices in South Dakota. Offices have
been established at Aberdeen, Sioux
Falls, Huron, Mitchell and Rapid City.
The office at this place is the only one
established west of the Missouri river in
the state, and will supply all of the wes-
tern part of the state.
1t is the purpose of these employment
service offices to act as clearing house
between employee and employer 1t
also serves to prevent labor becoming
extremely scarce in one section of the
country while there is a surplus in an
other by transferring labor from one
point to another, thus assisting both the
employee and the employers.
Charles McCaf'ree, State Immigration
Commissioner, has been appointed State
Director of South Dakota with headquar-
ters at Pierre.
The local office is located in the Secur.
ity Savings Bank building and Sherman
Farr has been appointed Examiner at
this place. Rapid City Guide.

LOCAL BOARD NEWS.

The boys chosen to fill the first call in
August, known officially as Call No. 972
are Walter Casper Hatch, Alfred S.
johnson, Francis Walsh and Guy Henry
Sanders, as alternate. This is for a con.
tingent of 400 to 60 to Camp Fremont,
Cali. The boys will entrain from Custer
August 5th, at $40 p. N.
1t is given out that the August calls
will be approximately as large as that
for July This will hit Custer county
hard as we were short in the July call
about eleven men and this will have to
be made up soon. Orders have already
been received to send up all possible
Questionnaires to be considered for re-
classification. Already we have ex.
hausted class /, and soon class 2 and 3
will be reclassifed and la some cases
class may be invaded. Without doubt
however when Congress meets again in
August relief will be given by raising
the age limit. No finer spirit has ever
been shown than manifested by the boys
of our County who have left their homes
and business and have cheerfully answer
ed the Countrys call to the colors.
With such men as this the cause cannot
fail
A number have asked for furloue hs
lately for the boys who have been sent
to Camps in the past Now this should
not be done only in extreme cases.
Men are being trained 80 rapidly now
and sent across in such numbers that
only a very unusual case will have a
chance of release, and then hardly q
longer time than 80 days.
The Government has organized in
every County Home Service Commits
sion for the purpose of assisting to a full
understanding of the soldier or his de-
pendents in getting clearly the benefits
that accrue to him in the service of his
country. VIM. s. Harper is Chairman
of the Commission for the County and
will gladly answer questions and as far
as possible assist in getting the informa-
ton concerning the Allotments, Com
pensation and Insurance to all who may
be interested and will apply The plan
of the Government is that every soldier
and his dependent will be so well pro-
vided for that his mind shall be at ease
concerning them. No soldiers have ever
gone from any country 80 well cared for
as these boys of the U. S. A. The Vet
erans of the sixties were well cared for
beside those of any other country in the
world, but they had no such future pro-
vision for either themselves or their de-
pendents as these boys of today. When
the Liberty Drives come and taxes
mount, and food scars, just remember
that the Government is feeding the boys
at the front and looking after first things
first, and they will know over there that
the country they are defending is worth
all they are paying for its perpetuation.

NEW LIBERTY LOAN OFFERING

Announcement came from Washing
ton some days ago to the effect that the
offering OF the fourth Liberty Loan will
begin on September 2Sth and will be
closed on October 18th. The time for
the campaign, it is stated, was selected
with a view to the fact that at that per-
iod money is apt to be plentiful in the
agricultural sections, so that large sub
scriptions may be expected from farm
ers. Furthermore, it is considered de-
sirable to terminate the operation we'll
in advance of the Congressional and
state elections. 1t will be noted that
the campaign will be limited to three
weeks instead of lasting for month as
in the preceding Liberty Loans. Treas
ury officials, it seems, have learned by
experience that where longer time is
allowed there is an inevitable falling off
of public interest in the middle of the
operation. 1t is thought that by cur
failing the time any dscouragement of
this kind can be avoided. Nothing has
yet been announced, or to all appear
ances determined, regarding the size OF
the new offering or the rate of interest
which the new fourth series Liberty
Bonds will carry.

TWO POUNDS A MONTH
New Order Issued Asking Public to Fur
ther Conserve Sweets to Meet
World Shortage

Washington, July 26.-The American
public is asked by the food aaministra-
tion to go on a sugar ration OF Two pounds
per capita monthly, beginning August
lst, to meet the world shortage and care
for the immediate demands Of the mill
tary forces. The public is now on a
three pounds ration.
Household rationing will be voluntary
but public eating places will be required
to observe the new regulations effective
August LIST, permitting the use of two
pounds of sugar for every nihaty meals
served.
The food administration declares that
sugar supplies throughout the country,
in homes, stores, factories and bakeries
are at low ebb The production of the
American beet and Louisiana cane crops
is disappointing, the needs of the army
and navy are greater and 50000,00O lbs
were lost recently through the submar.
ines activity on the Atlantic.

RECENT ORDERS PASSED
BY COUNCIL OF DEFBNSI

At recent meeting of the South Da-
kota Council of Defense at Huron they
passed what is known as Council Order
No, 6, which gives authority to the
County Councils of Defense to summon
witnesses and hold hearings, etc They
also passed what is known as Council
Order No. II, which provides for heavy
penalties for anyone who in anyway in
terferes with the sale of Thrift Stamps,
War Savings Stamps, Liberty Loan
Bonds, or interleres in any way with
any one who is donating their services
in the interest of any of the government
activities including the Red Cross, Y. NJ
&. A, X. of C., and other organizations
| also the Home Guard or Orders of the
State Council of Defense, or the County
Councils of Defense, as well as all orders
of the Federal Food and Fuel admins
traitors. These orders are very timely
as they provide a way whereby all slack
ers of every kind can be handled in a
dignified manner
On the first of June the South Dakota
Council of Defense passed an order pro-
hibting the use of the German language
in public or quasi-public meetings also
in all educational institutions, which has
met with universal approval of the peo-
pie of our state. At recent meeting of
the Council they passed an order which
prohibits the use of the German in as
semblages of three or more persons upon
any public street, in depots, upon trains,
in public places of business, and other
public or semi-public places within the
state, except in cases of extreme emer-
gency, such as death, severe illness, fire,
or call for police protection or other sud.
den relief or emergency occasions. A
question of permits have been left with
the executive committee with the under
standing that no permits will be granted
unless they are approved by the County
Council also the local authorities from
where the permit is ask ed for. The
South Dakota Council of Defense,
through the orders prohibiting the use
of the German language, has taken an
advance step in the campaign to Ameri-
canize America.
At recent meeting of the South Da-
kota Council of Defense held in Huron,
together with representatives from vari.
Gus counties in the state the question of
harvesting and threshing wages was dis
cussed, and after careful consideration
the Council passed what is known as
Council Order No. l2, which provides
that $3.50 per day shall be fixed as the
maximum wage for competent labor in
harvesting, stacking and threshing, for
the season of 1918. 1t also provides that
ten hours of field work shall be a stand.
ard day, and further that any person or
persons who shall demand or receive a
higher wage, shall be guilty of misde
meanor.
The scale fixed by the Council is equi-
valent to 40 cents an hour, so in case a
person should work eleven or twelve
hours per day, which is often the case,
they would make practically $500 per
day or more, according to the time put
in. This wage scale has met with gem
eral approval and it is believed that it is
sufficiently high to bring plenty of labor
in our state to take care of the harvest
ing and threshing this season.

NO WHEAT BAN RAISED.
Eating Houses May Serve Liberty
Bread After AUD. 4.

Washington, July 29AHerbert C..
Hoover. the food administrator, has
sent a cablegram from London. releas-
ing the hotels, restaurants and dining
car services Of the country from their
voluntary pledge to use no wheat until
the present harvest, The release is
effective on Aug. 1. After that time
the public eating places will be re-
quired only to comply with the food
administrations baking regulations and
to serve victory bread.
In his cablegram Mr.. Hoover said
that the allied cause had been saved by
the conservation measures adopted and
that the chief concern now, so far as
the wheat situation is involved, is to
build up reserves in America and
abroad out Of the bumper crop. which
would make impossible the danger of
famine conditions In the future. He
believes this can be done without the
drastic restrictions which were accept
ed by the hotels and public eating
places.
