slLAs E. JOnDON, PNEUMONIA VICTIM

The first victim of the pneu.
monia in this locality was, Silas
E. Jordon, whose death occurred
last Thursday evening at the
C. E. McLane home in this city.
Mr.. Jordon had been sick for
about a week, having first been
taken i'll at the ranch northeast
of town, and later removed here
in order to receive better atten-
ton.
Silas E. Jordon was born in
Illinois, in 1881, and moved in
early life to Maryville, Mo-,
where he grew to manhood. He
came to this part of the country
in 1908 and took up residence
northeast of Philip and engaged
in sheep raising. During the
past few years he has developed
a fine sheep ranch and was one
of the most successful growers
in this section. He was a jolly
whole souled fellow, whom every
body respected and he will be
missed from among the young
people as we'll as the older ones.
Besides his wife he leaves
three sons and a daughter, a
father and mother, four brothers
and a sister. Funeral services
were conducted Sunday at the
cemetery by Rev. O. E. Tell of
this city. The Pioneer extends
to the sorrowine relatives the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community.

American Fur Company. Then
follows four years steamboatine
on the Missouri river. In the
spring of 1890 he moved onto a
ranch near Smithville where he
engaged in the cattle business
until settlers came in in such
numbers that the big cattlemen
we're driven out of the business.
Howard lived for number of
years at Rapid City, but moved
to Sioux Falls about three years
ago and had made that city his
home ever since.
It is as the head of the U-Cross
cattle outfit that Howard is best
remembered in this locality.
With his headquarters on the
Cheyenne river fifty miles north
west of here, his cattle ranged
over much of the territory now
embraced in Haakon County.
Several residents of Philip have
worked for him, and will swear
that he was one of the whitest
men who ever walked in shoe
leather or wore an old white
hat. It is possibly worth remem-
bering that one of Howard's
winter camps was located for a
time near where the Philip mill
now stands.

MAJOR spEARBEcK KILLED

Major G. E. Sperbeck, well
known to many Philip people, is
reported killed on the battle
front in France. For several
years he was a teacher in the
schools of Fort Pierre, where he
married a daughter of H. c.
Ostendorf a we'll known business
man of that city.
Major Sperbeck, while not en-
gagged in fighing at the time of
his death was walking about a
battlefield, when he came across
a supposedly dead German. His
orderly who was with him at the
time said: Look out Prof. that

Red Gross News

Mr.. Waggoner, the county
chairman, has been sick during
the past four weeks and conse-
quently the Red Cross News has
suspended publication temporar-
lily.
The writer was sick at the
time of the election of the coun-
ty board of trustees and unable
to attend the meeting. Now the
secretary is sick and in the hos
pital, so that we have to defer
publication of the list until later.
Haakon county has had many
cases of Spanish influenza. We
have not had as many deaths as
some neighboring counties, but
the epidemic has been bad
enough. The Red Cross organi-
zation throughout the county
has rendered valiant service,
and should no doubt receive
credit for keeping the death rate
low.
The November allotment of
Red Cross work for Haakon
county consists of l56 sweaters,
100 pairs of socks, so pajama
suits, so bed jackets, 80 girls
dresses, and 100 comfort kits.
The surgical dressing allotment
is 24O0 wipes, $50 oakum pads,
and l75 paper backed pads.
These allotments are all COM
pleted except the girls dresses,
bed jackets, and comfort kits.
Much of the work for the allot-
ment was completed and on
hand when the allotment came.
In view of our influenza epidem-
ic, this was certainly fortunate.
We are sorry there was not
enough sewing still needing to
be done to reach around for all
the branches. You will not be
neglected next time. County
headquarters must ship on No.
vember 18th. Please have all
goods returned by that time.
The county headquarters has
mailed to every branch and aux
iliary a supply of Christmas box
es for soldiers in France. Rela-
tives of soldiers oyer the county
are receiving an address slip
with a letter of instructions from
their soldier boys in France.
These slips should be exhibited

'NON-COMS" SUBDUE MESS
HALL RIOTERS.

Prompt action ON the part of the
white non-commissioned officers
averted serious trouble at Camp
Pike this morning when a riot
broke out in the mess hall of COM
pany B, 512th Engineer Service
Battalion, negro organization.
The trouble began inside the
building where one Of the negro
soldiers in the breakfast mess line
demanded service of the white
mess sergeant ahead of his time.
The sergeant refused to serve
him, and the soldier with sew
eral comrades started across the
counter after the white sergeant.
Non-commissioned officers. all
while men. took a hand and al
though the air for a while was
filled with flying mess kits, salt
cellars and other tableware, by
the ringleaders the ssnon-
CONS" restored sufficient order to
get their men out of the building.
Six Of the ringleaders will be
tried for disobedience and striking
their officers in general court
martial and twenty men will be
tried for disorderly conduct. The
only bloodshed resulting was
from a thrown stone which cut
open the scalp Of one of the non
officers.

HATCH CHICKENS EARLY.

In its campaign to increas'
poultry production the United
States Department Of Agriculture
puts special emphasis upon the
Importance Of early Matching, be-
cause that is the key to the whole
situation. While chickens can be
Matched at any time of the year
1t is the chickens Matched early in
the spring that give the best re-
suits because they are, as a rule,
the strongest and most vigorous.
They are to hatch early on the
farms throughout the country the
Matching season comedies too
closely with the planting season,
and Matching operations are re-
duced on that account.
Early Matching Gives Best
Results.
Early-hatched chickens give the
best results because they are, as
a rule, the strongest and most
rigorous. They are produced
from eggs laid while the hens are
IN their best breeding condition.
After long period of laying, heas
loose somethinv Of their vitality
and their capacity to transmit
vigor to their offspring, and So
late-hatched chickens are. on the
whole, decidedly inferior to early
Matched in inherited vigor and
constitution.
Because they are more thrifty
and vigorous, early matched chick
ems make quicker, better and
cheaper growth than late chick
ems. Thrifty chickens get more
from a given quantity Of feed than
others. Weak and understood
chickens often consume as much
feed as much larger and better
developed birds and still make no
perceptible growth.
Early chicks develop before
summer to the stage where they
can Withstand extreme heat and
the attacks Of parasites, which
are most numerous and trouble
some in hot weather. Late chick
ems are likely to be caught by Sc
we're heat just at the stage Of their
growth when heat is most debili-
tating to them.

There is q more. serious stage of
