SENATOR STERLING CRITI-

| SENATOR STERLING CRITI-
CIZES NEW REVENUE BILL.
Washington, D. c., Sept. Is, I9lS.-
Speaking in the Senate on the new Rev
enue Bill now under discussion in the
House, Senator Sterling expressed the
opinion that 1t does not deal Justly with
The smaller incomes and that the sur
taxes on the large incomes should be in
creased He expressed surprise also
that the Secretary Ofthe Treasury should
in face of our needs, oppose an increase
in the excess profits tax. Senator Sterl-
| ing showed that had a war-profits tax
with an so per cent rate even, been
adopted in the revenue law of 1917, as
was proposed, many corporations would
have escaped any tax under that provi-
| sion. He referred to one corporation
which would have paid a war-profits tax
of less than two hundred thousand dol
lars but which paid in excess profits tax
| under the 1917 law more than seven
hundred thousand dollars. Another
great corporation would have paid no
war-profts tax at all, but as excess
profits tax it paid almost three and one.
| half million dollars Senator Sterling
expressed himself in favor of both an
increased excess-proits tax and war.
profits tax of so per cent, In discussing
profiteerng he suggested that taxation
! is not complete remedy for the simple
reason that the extra tax imposed by
the Government against the profteer
does not relieve the victims of the prof
iteer, who themselves pay the prices
which yield the profits out of which the
tax is paid, unless, indeed, the profteer
is taxed to death. "The man or the
corporation, said Senator Sterling, "who
refuses fair price and holds and boards
against time Of stress when he sells at
an inordinate price; the workman get

uses the strike weapon in time Of the
Governments direst need to compel

munitions manufacturer who is oblivous
to the cause for which the Allies fight,
who sees his prosperity in their neces

of the same in the egregious price he
demands for his product-these all are

BUFFALO GAP FAIR

agement, the up-to-date events and the
large exhibit Of stock and farm produce
Notwithstanding that the 18th was
stormy the fair grounds had the largest
attendance Of any day in the history of
the Fair Association. This was a great
surprise rs it bad been generally con-
ceded that the attendance would be
small owing to The war and the large
amount of unfinished farm work.
The races, bucking contests, novelty
riding and other novelties that were put
on for the entertainment of the crowd
were generally pronounced the best that
which is going some Special mention
should be made Of Mildred Douglas the
worlds champion lady broncho buster
and the South American Kid who won
the world championship for broncho
busting at Cheyenne this last summer
The "Kid' rode some outlaws that sure
went high, wide and crooked and did it
straight up. Mildred Douglas also rode
some bad ones and gained the admira-
ton of the crowd by her excellent rid
ing. Both Of these champions each day
gave an exhibition of fancy and novelty
riding which was exceptionally good
The various events were too numerous
to give in detail but ali were fine and
pulled off in the usually snappy Buffalo
Gap manner There were exceptionally
fine exhibits both in the stock and the
farm produce, and very generous prizes
given.
Custer county fairs have gained a
wider reputation than any others in the
western part Of the state and a generous
measure Of credit is due the management
of the Association and the people OF
Buffalo Gap who yearly give us a Fair
that we are proud Of and glad to attend.

GARDEN AND CANNING

Already many lively garden and
canning clubs have been organized in
the towns and some through the coun-
ty, and the work will be pushed to
show results for Brookings county
The advantages of the garden and
canning club are obvious. A club is
easy to form. Any group of neigh.
DORIS can combine. Uncle Sam will
sen any one, upon request, sugges
tons as to the organization of garden
and canning clubs. Such combination
gives the advantage that comes with
purchasing in large quantities. Jars.
rubber rings and other supplies can
be obtained at wholesale. Every
member a do her own work in her
own home, and so receive the entire
profit from her own labors. But in
selling, she has the benefit of belong.
ing to the organization. The club.
like the market gathers up the small
SURPRISES and makes a big aggregate.
And this aggregate it is easy to sell.
Grocers will talk to people who have
a thousand jars of stuff to sell. And
they will be very willing to cooper
ate with any organization that con-
tains a considerable number of mem.
bers. So the club smooths out diff
%culties, just as does the unit plan of
gardening or the cooperative plan OF
selling.
Lester R. Thompson has been ap.
pointed assistant Emergency Demon
stration Agent for Bookings county
and detailed to garden work. He will
Rave his headquarters in the court
house at Brookings and will promote
+he garden interests throughout the
county especially through the garden
md canning clubs. You are urged to
write, phone or call on Mr.. Thomp-
on in regard to any matter concern

WOMAN AND THE HOUSEHOLD
URGENT CALL FOR NURSES

An urgent call upon the American
Red Cross to supply 5000 nurses be,
tween now and June l, for the Army
Nurse Corps, has come from Surgeon
General Gorgas of the United States
Army. These nurses are needed for
service in military hospitals both in
this country and abroad. There is
no need for any willing nurse to wait
for a call to active service. Although
the Red Cross has already supplied
nearly seven thousand nurses for ac-
tive service in the Army and Navy
Corps since the beginning of the war,
the imperative need for a greater
army of nurses grows daily as the
war progresses.
According to a statement made by
Surgeon General Gorgas, it is esti-
mated that there are between eighty
and ninety thousand registered nurses
in the United States. and that approx
imately thirty thousand will be need
ed for service in army hospitals DUR
ing the present year.
In discussing the nursing situation,
Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the
of nursing of the American
Red Cross, said: IAN earnest appeal
is made to the nurses of the country
to volunteer for this service. We also
appeal to the public and to the physi-
clans employing these nurses to aid
in making it possible for them, with
out too great financial sacrifice on
their part, to hold themselves in read
mess to respond to the call of their
country.
"a great responsibility rests upon
the nurses of the country. They are
the only group of recognized
as a part of the military establish
ment. While thousands and thous-
of nurses will be needed, the
number is relatively small compared
with the number of women in Ameri-
who should stand back of them
and make possible the service for
which they are so greatly needed at
this time"
