CLEANS the following: II hear that
there il a lot Of growing in the pa
pers about the way the soldiers are
treated in the training camps, but l
have always had plenty to eat, and
if 1 was too cold in bed could get up
and sit by the fire. We all have

Fined IS And Cost.
For Disturbing School
George Vsstsr Attsmpts 70 Fire School
Teacher but Learns that Il was the
School Boards' Place

George Vetter, from over near
Shields on the Sioux county side Of
the Cannonball river, was arrested
Monday last week by the constable
of Solen on complaint of the states
attorney for the wilful disturbing ol
a school and brought to Solen the
same day before Justice Mcdonald
and there entered a plea Of guilty
and was assessed fine of t5 and
costs amounting to t25.
It seems there has been some diff.
ference Of opinion as to how the
Vetter school should be run and
Mr.. Vetter on whose land the school
was built last fall, for the benefit of
his and his brothers. children only,
sought to take matters in hand and
fire the teacher, Miss Inez Turner.
and proceeded to carry his edict in
to force. However, the procedure
did not suit the teacher and com.
plant was entered against Vetter
by the Cannonball District School
Board to whom the teacher reported
the matter.
After a warning from the Justice
and paying for hia indiscretion it is
believed by the officials that there
will be no further trouble and that
in the future the running of the
schools will be left to the proper Of
ficials.

have not been asked to donate, as
many Of them in their generosity

to such an extent that they will be
impoverished. The dances held in

ere in Securing State Help for Seed
And Feed When Needed

The Pioneer has had several in.
quiries this week regarding the new
Seed and Feed Act for the relief oi
farmers who are in need of aid by
reason of partial crop failure las,
year on account of drought o,
hail.
Sioux county can issue bonds o,
warrants under this law to the ex.
tent Of about $2O,OOO.OO. Before
the county commissioners can take
any action, they must first be pc.
titioned by at least so freeholders
of the county. Such petition shall be
filed with the county auditor on or
before the 25th of February.
In the event bonds are issued, all
persons Wishing to avail themselves
of the benefit of this act, shall file
with the county auditor before the
Goth Of March, a sworn application
containing true statement of the
number Of acres the applicant has
prepared for seeding, and how ma
ny bushel and what kind of grain
he will require to seed the ground
so prepared.
The first step to take to secure
aid is the filing Of the petition men,
toned herein. As there will be
several petitions circulated it will
not be necessary to secure so ma
mes on each seperate petition. A
total aggregate of so signers is all
that is required.
Where seed is to be used on rent
ed land, the owner of the land
must sign the application.
