REPULSE BOLSHEVIKI
Americans Playing Important Role in Forcing Lenine's Forces Back Along the DWina River.

Archangel, Oct. IT, (By the Asso- c1ated Press) )-Allied forces, includ- ing Americans, are engaged in re- pulsing heavy Bolshevik attacks on both banks of the Dvina, 150 miles north of Kotlass, in the north Rus sian fighting zone.
 The Americans and Russians have advanced in the direction of Welsk, northeast of Vologda
 The Bolsheviki, with massed forces, are striving to regain the positions which were won after hard fought struggles by Americans and Scots on September 21. Under an almost con- stant bombardment for more than a week, the Allies have repulsed many infantry attacks and inflicted consid- erable losses.
 These positions include villages on opposite sides of the Dvina River, some of which are on a high bluff at a strategic bend in the stream. Around this bend Bolshevik gunboats protected by mine fields and a low, sandy island, have delivered a bonn bardment with shells of all calibers.
 The Allies, meanwhile, have been forced to strive against the rapidly falling river, which is full of sand bars. The garrison, though greatly Outnumbered in men and artillery, have struggled waist deep in the muddy roads. capturing several guns and machin9 guns.
 An American engineer Lieutenant and a few men crossed the river un- der a heavy fire and rescued a gun from a disabled tug on which the Bolsheviki had centered their fire. The next day the same Lieutenant, with a sergeant, braved the same dangers in an effort to repair tugs, caught under a heavy shower of shrapnel fire. The pair tried to swim back to the shore, but were swept away by the swift current and drowned
 The Bolshevid are now trying to spread their propaganda among the allied troops. Captured trenches and villages on the Dvina front were full of proclamations, printed in English, asking the British and Americans not to fight. These proclamattons were laughed at by the British and Amerl- cans, as particularly inconsistent with Bolshevik treatment of prisoners, whom they many times have mutil- atcd-

REDWOODs WILL PRACTICE.

The Redwood football team of this city, claimants to the state title, will hold a preliminary practice tonight, Thursday, at the corner Smalley and Stanley streets, at Paradise Park, in preparation for it's big game this com- ing Sunday with the Lyrics of Hart ford. All of the Redwood players, to- gether with any other recruits, are or dered to be on hand for this practice.
 The Lyrics of Hartford are no new team in the sporting world having held the heavy Ramblers to a 60 score a few weeks ago. They are classed as the best team in Hartford county, but the Redwoods have dis puted this title, and are going to fight it out the gridiron. Tn the Lyrics lineup will be Dunn, captain of Hartford High last season, also Her. bret and Cohen of Hartford High. This promises to be the best game of the season in New Britain, and both teams are tuned to a point for the battle.

CHAPTER XIV. (Continued)

Copyright 1918, by William Fox) THINGS f1ourished in Chihuahua \ after this. With plenty of money Villa grew stronger, and this govern ment, not realizing the true character of the man, seriously considered rec ognizing him as the ruler of Mexico.
 General Bliss, chief of staff of the army, went to Fl Paso and had sev- eral conferences there with Villa, in which General Pershing, in his off, ciaI capacity, took part. Nothing definite came of these conferences, however, and the disturbances con- tinued.
 Villa, although very prosperous, was not able to secure enough arms and ammunition from the American side to hold his state against his riv- als. Huerta was finally deposed, but Carranza, who had been growing declared his former ally, Villa, to be a bandit
 It was at this critical stage that General Pershing received a tele phone call at headquarters on the morning of Aug. 27, 1915. The oper ator asked if he should read a tele- gram for the general which had just arrived Requesting that this be done, the general heard a dread mes sage that Mrs. Pershing and her three children had been suffocated in a fire that consumed their house at the Presidio.
 General Pershing had prepared a home for his family at Fort Bliss and expected to send for them as soon as the heat of the summer was past. Mrs Pershing and the children meanwhile had been occupying quar- ters at the Presidio. Many of these houses were of light frame construc- tion and extremely intlammable.
 Mrs. Boswell, wife of Lieutenant Boswell, and a relative, were occupy ing the house with Mrs. Pershing.

T know I ought to take treatment; I have been running down for the last year or two. I am all Jagged out, Ahave no ambition, worry from morn Eng till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work l used to do some years ago. If I were as strong as was, l could earn good money. I know I ought to treat with a good specialist, but l cannot afford to pay for the treatment"
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing. ..#e
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can not work and earn what you used to-. Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital--which is your health--by allowing it to run down. and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make a living and find it almost beyond your strength sAnd you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are going to lose is beyond estimation.
 . The dollar you MIGHT earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety. despondency, want and deprivation for your family.
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in return you get increased working ability higher wages, health and hap piness at home.
 Which will you choose?
 Can you hesitate?

BUREAUS WILL
FEATURE WOMEN'S WORK

More than 800 farm women's
meetings were held last year IN South
Dakota as part of the home demon
stration program of farm bureau
work. Eleven home demonstration
agents were at work in the field, be-
ginning in June, each cover
ing a district of three or four
counties. Nineteen training classes
were held, and the volunteer work
ers thus trained gave 3O1 demonstra-
lions at special meetings, featuring
food preservation, wheat substitutes
and sugar saving. Nearly 100000
quarts of fruit and vegetables were
canned as a result of these demon
strations.
In addition to public meetings, the
home demonstration agents made ISL
home visits where individual prob
lens were considered. 1t is planned
in the future to confine the work OF
the home demonstration agent to
one county only for more thoro or
ganization in the farm bureau among
the women. The statewide member
ship drive on December 9 to IL will
have a direct bearing upon this pro-
ject.

FARMERS JOB NEXT YEAR
WILL BE BIGGEST EVER

The farmers of America will have
a bigger program OF work next season
than aver before in spite of the fact
that the great war is over. The
Food Administration at Washington
announces that we must shipS17.550,-
900 tons. OF foodstuffs to our Allies
next year as against 11,820,000 tons
last year, an increase of more than
forty-eight per cent. This does not
include the other extra demands that
will be made upon this country by
q hungry world This will be q
gigantic task.
Some persons believe that our
farms nearly reached their limit last
year. Will they produce more next
year? Can they do it?
The farmers are answering en-
~phatically, Yes" In order-to bring
this desired result will require the
best effort OF organized farming. The
strongest agency for putting across
Uncle Sans big food program Of the
coming year will be the farm bureau.

shown the value Of organization in

IMPROVEMENT
WORK OF FARM BUREAU

South Dakota farm bureaus or
gained FL livestock shipping asso-
Citations to enable smaller producers
and feeders to cooperate in shipping
in carload lots, and organized seven
county purebred livestock breeders
associations for the purpose of de-
veloping livestock interest and the
holding OF county sales. County
agents have helped with the estab-,
lishment of an exchange at the
bureau office, in securing purebred
stock for farmers, in establishing
special livestock days in the county,
in organizing boys livestock clubs
and in working out balanced rations
for feeding.
Farm bureaus have been.of enorm-
Gus service in the location and pre-
vention of animal disease. The
bureaus have distributed S6,33S
doses of government blackleg vaccine
during the year, 14,554 cattle have
been vaccinated for anthrax upon
the agents suggestion: 4,334 hogs
have been vaccinated against hog
cholera; 3,497 animals have been
treated for hemorrhagic %septicemia,
the necessary precautions have been
taken in herds infected with NEGRO
Gaccilosis affecting 1882 animals;
1854 animals were dipped for lice,
and an outbreak Of scabbies was
cleaned up in three counties, 13,495.
head of cattle having been dipped.
The farm bureaus do not expect
their agents to do veterinary work
but insist upon the agent notifying
the farmers of a community when a
contagious animal disease outbreak
occurs there, and then conducting a
community campaign for thorough
disinfection and the use of sanitary
measures.

FARM BUREAU CONDUCTS
STATE MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

South Dakota farm bureaus will
conduct a statewide drive during the
week of December 9 to IA for the
purpose Of increasing the member
ship to at least $4,000. The total
membership for the state is now TO-
.57S. Farmers who are DESTROYS OF
making their work count for the most
in the state and national food pro-
duction and conservation program
will be urged to join their county
farm bureaus for greater cooperative
and organized effort. The South Da-
kota farm bureau membership drive
is similar to drives being put on in
other states thruout the country to
help speed up production. This de-
sirable result has been accomplished
during the past year in counties en-

The South controls Congress and die

Nearly every important committee
in the Senate has a Southern Demo-

Not only does each important Senate
committee have a Southern Democrat
for chairman, but the majority Of each
Senate committee is composed OF Dem
ocrats, under the rules which give the
party in power the majority of each
committee. The only way to change
this is to place the Republicans in pow

States have .chairmanships.

states, with sectional prejudices, are

Two weeks ago we published the
obituary of Miss Anna Brandt taken
from the Albion (Neb.) Argus. From
the last Issue of the same paper we
publish an account of the death of
her brother William J.. Brandt. To
the many friends of Mr.. Brandt in
this vicinity where be lived for eight
years this news will be received with
deep regret. Following is the &C.
count given in the Argus:
The community was certainly
shocked Saturday afternoon when the
news came that William Brandt had
died at Columbus. He had been sick
only two weeks and able most of the
time to be up and around. The SYM
pathy of the entire neighborhood goes
out to Mrs. Barndt and her three lit
tie boys in their sad bereavement.
The little boys all have the Flu and
were not able to go to the funeral and
Mrs. Brandt came down with it that
day.
William j. Brandt was born in
Colfax county Neb. Aug. 4, 1889.
He came to Boone county with his
parents when a little boy and grew to
manhood in Roselma precinct. The
extent of his schooling was in Dist
riot FL, but being a good student, the
extent of his education was far in ad-
vance of the common school. He was
always interested in literary and de-
batting societies and in this way at
tanned considerable ability as a speak
er.
He was married to Miss Dora Arps
at Rogers, Neb. Feb. IL, 1910. To
them were born three sons.
About the time of his marriage his
parents moved to South Dakota and
he moved there too and lived there
until last spring when he moved back
to this county and settled down on a
farm northwest of Albion. When
but a youth he obeyed the gospel and
united with the Church of Christ at
Roselma. He took a great interest
in religious matters and was a faith
full attendant at worship. He advance
ed in spiritual growth and Knowledge
of the bible till he was able to do ac-
ceptable work in the pulpit. He bid
fair to be a very successful man in
the church.
He was loved by manv and by his
exemplary life, commanded the res
pect of all. For many years he has
been afflicted with catarrh. The dis
ease had spread 80 that it affected
not only his head but the bronchial
passages as we'll and when the poison
reached the lungs it soon got in it's
deadly wrrk. He was taken to Col
umbus hospital last Friday morning
and there he died on Saturday. He
was ready to go and died with the
word of God on his lips.
He leaves besides his wife and
three little boys, his aged father and
one sister to mourn his departure.
Short services we're held Tuesday at
ternoon from his sister Annals late
residence conducted by H. A. Houtz
and D. j. POINTER and the body was
laid to rest in Rose Hill.
