GERMAN CHILDREN WILL
 MISS ANNUAL VACATION
 GIVEN BY HOLLANDERS

AMSTERDAM, Aug, l6 - During the first three years of the war, Dutch charitable organizations have every summer brought thousnadS of Ger man children and given them sum- mer vacation in Dutch homes, where they could get better care and nour- ,ishment than at home. This year the society which has charge of the mig ration announces that it will be imposs- ible to get permits for any similar trips, owing to Hollands own food shortage.

Did You Read The Epistle
To Carlberg BY Atwood?

i-se Atweeds inference that we do
not understand Socialism is quite
true and we have never had the
pleasure of meeting anyone who
did. We may not know quite as
much about Latin and prehis-
toric history as our friend but we
do know that had we been con-
nected in any way with the So
cialist party we would have with
drawn long ago.
1t seems strange to a person
with only common knowledge
of things that man with the
most perfect knowledge of all
things, who has never done any,
thing except teach others, would
not have discovered long before
that the Socialist party had fall
EN- into the hands of pro-Ger-
mans.
1t is strange indeed to find
such a learned man would con-
tinue at the head of political
organization, with foreigners in
control, SO long.
While Socialism and the Nom
Partisan League may appear to
our friend to be a mystery to us,
we do know that the leaders of
The Non Partisan League are
graduates from the Socialist
school of which yo uhave been
professor for many years, and
from which school you yourself
have resigned.
If we do not understand Social
ism as you infer, we are pleased
to know that enough gray matter
was passed onto us to make it
possible for us to choose and be-
long to an American Political
Organization.

Is This the Time to
Fuss About Babies

Fuss About Babies
A wonderful program for the
Children's year has recently been
presented to the patriotic wo-
men of the United States by DIR.
Jessica Peixotto, Executive chair
man of the Department of Child
Welfare of the Council of Nation
al Defense and Miss Julia Lath-
rop, Chief of the Children's Bu-
reau of the Department of Labor.
This effort has the personal en-
dorsement of President Wilson.
Every year 100000 children
under five die within the United
States. nNew Zealand, one baby
out of 20 dies, in the United
States, one baby in ten. Authori-
ties agree that half these deaths
are easily preventable.
We have a graf campaign a.
head of us in the saving of 100,
600 children in this country dur
ing this Children's year, which
began April 9th one year from
the day the United States de-
clared war. South Dakota's quo
ta of lives to be saved is 691. Fig
ures can be produced to show
that the death rate of country
districts is greater than in the
cities. So this is largely a rural
problem and one which should
greatly interest South Dakota.
England and France have real
lied that work for better child
rem is vital war work for the fu-
ture of our nation depends upon
the coming generation, and Eng
land has proved the value of
what she has done by bringing
down her baby death rate to the
lowest point in her history.
So, weigh your children for
Uncle Sam, let us not be slackers
We ask that the protection of all
our children be increased in
every possible manner for "The
Health of the Child is the Power
of the Nation" For this pur-
pose the Child Welfare Commit
tee of the National Council Of
Defense have prepared plans for
weighing and measuring all child
rem under school age and ask the
hearty cooperation of all Ameri-
can citizens.
Give your children an equal.
chance with your neighbors'.

of the best liked officers in the
Regiment, by his brother officers
and by the men. You can tell all

Shorty" lived and died like a
man should; and they took one

Lieut.. Croal was an extremely
modest young man, unassuming,
quiet and reserved; but his friend
ship was highly priced by all who
had the pleasure of his acquain-
tance and his death creates a
vacancy in the lives of many
which will never be filled.
Fitting memorial services were
held at the st. Peters Catholic
Church Tuesday morning at nine
O'Clock, conducted by Father
O'Haro, and were attended by
one OF the greatest audiences
ever assembled at the church,
attesting the love and esteem
with which Clinton was held by
his friends.
The sorrowing parents, BROTH
er and sister have the sincere
sympathy of the community.
May they find coincidence in the
thot that their beloved son and
brother died a hero in the service
of his country.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
The executive committee with
H. S. Morris as chairman is pre-
pairing for the Fourth Liberty
Loan Drive in Roberts County.
This was a grand harvest, that
alone is the biggest factor in the
winning of the war. The farm
ers have worked harder than
they ever did before. Our govern
ment set a fair price on wheat
and nature did the rest. Now
there is no prospect of Germany
starving any one of the Allies.
There is no prospect of her gain
ing in strength. What we must do
is to continue to gain momen-
tum until our strength will
crumble the German war mach-
ine. To do that this govern
ment must have money and that.
is what the Roberts County Lib
erty Loan Committee is ont after
right now.
The executive committee corr
sists of eight members. The
whole Liberty Loan Committee
in Roberts County consists Of
about three members from each
precinct or about 12O persons.
The executive committee will
try to put this loan over without
the aid of the township commit
tee men in order to save s1.all
power for threshing and neaes-
sary farm work. 1t will be nee.es,-
sary for every man and woman
to do his OF her part. 1t will not
do for any cne to lag.
A letter will be sent to every
person we have a record OF. and
when you receive this letter and
card, it is your moral duty to
sign same, mail it or go at once
to your bank and arrange to buy
the amount allottea to you. If pei
chance some of you who are fin
ancially able do not receive .
letter of card, it is your mora
and patriotic duty to presen!
yourself to your nearest bank
and buy bond. You are ENJOYING
the privileges of staying at horne
you must assume your share OF
the responsibility.
The day set for this drive is,
Sept. 28th. Roberts County went
over the top in the Third Liberty
Loan Drive, one day before the
time set. The letter and card
will be sent in time for you to get
your bond on OF before the 2sth
and on the day of the Both we
will round up the slackers. We
hope there will be none to roltMd
up.
In case you do not respond to
this letter it will be necessary
to call out one hundred and
twenty township committee rlan
on the Both. But we predict there
is not one person in Roberts
County who will neglect his duty.

Charles Clinton Croal, Deceased

iliary known, was a native of
South Dakota and received his
primary education in the schools
of Wilmot and Sisseton, gradual
ing from the latter's High School
before he was II years old and in
the meantime learned the print
ing trade and got a good start in
journalism, which he priced very
highly, even in his late letters
from France. He graduated from
the College of Law at the South
Dakota University before he was
20 years old and being too young
to practice in his own right he
spent a.year and a half in the
law Offices of Judge Batterton in
Sisseton. He then accepted a po-
sition as Assistant Attorney to
w. G.. Porter, Gen. Solicitor for
the C. M. & st. P. Railway at Alb
erdeen, where he was employed
for four years, at the expiration
of which he formed a law partner
ship in Aberdeen with Frank
Sieh, of that city. Barely three
months of this partnership had
existed when these young pat
riots heard the call of the First
Officers Training Camp at Ft.
Smelling, entering the service of
Uncle Sam an May Is, 1917.
They were commissioned Lieu
tenants on Aug. Is, and after q
short visit home Clinton left for
France on Sept. Z, 1917, the trip
across then consuming two weeks
On account of the ziz-zag routes
then taken to avoid U-boats.
After spending three months in
a British training school for Of
ficers he was assigned to Co. F.,
End Bn. 28th U. S. Inf. and was
also designated Intelligence Of
ficer. He was on the. .Toul front
with our American army during
the early scrapping in and about
Seichprey, but after the enemy
had made the drive on March 21,
his regiment was transferred to
the west front and he preceded
them to prepare for their billet
ting. They were back of the lines
at Cantigny, between Montdid-
ierand Amiens. The 28th was the
pick of the then new American
Army and at a designated time
captured Cantigny, now known as
the first real battle of the Ameri-
can army in France. 1t was be-
gun on May 2Sth, and lasted till
the 3Oth. In the rout of the
enemy with heavy losses a num-
ber of our brave American
heroes fell, among whom was 1t.
Charles C. Croal. He was official
ly reported missing in action on
May 28th, 1918, and now it is re-
ported that he was found on the
outskirts of Cantigny on May
30th, 1913 through a letter from
one of his officer friends.
Letter of 1t. Foster V. Brown
Jr. C. o. Co. F. 2Sth U. S. Inf,
dated Aug. Is, 1918, and address,
ed to Vincent C. Croal, Sisseton,
S. D. Received in Sisseton on
Sept. Z, 1918.
Mr.. Vincent C. Croal,
Dear Sir; received your letter
of 7-29-l8 today. supposed that
G. Hq. had sent you an official
notification; and presume that
they have by now. On the third
day of the fight at Cantigny,
May so, 1918, we found Croal's
body near the outskirts of Can
tigny. He was killed instantly
and was spared the pain of suf-
fering. He died as he lived-a
good soldier through and
through man from the ground
up.
l suppose that l was the best
friend of Croal's in the Regiment
We were constantly together.
When he was made Intelligence
Officer he was still carried on our
Company records.

Pullets of these breeds and those of corresponding types and weight that reach .he weights given in the table or are very near them early in September, will begin laying by Oc- tober if conditions are favorable. Applying the weight table for the purpose of selecting winter layers, it appears that, for example, a Ply mouth Rock bullet that is five months old in the early part of Sep tember should weigh not less than four pounds. A Wyandotte or Rhode Island Red should not weigh less than three pounds, a Leghorn not less than two pounds.
 Many poultry keepers who do not mark their chicks when matched and let broods of different ages run to- gether in the growing season cannot tell the age of a bullet with certainty in the fall. and take it for granted that the small birds are the later matched. This error leads to the holding of many bullets which, if thelr true age were known, would be discarded for winter layers.
 All hens n;olt in the fall and early winter. During this mol:ing season, which usually takes about three months, the hens lay few or no eggs It Is advisable, if wel1-lnatured pull lets can be purchased at a reason able price to kill and eat the hens as they beg'n to mott. replacing the flock with newly purchased bullets The hens should not be Filled. how ever until they begin to mott and their comb begins to lose it's size color, and hexibility, fer if these changes have not taken place the hens will probably stil be laying and at a time of year when eggs are 1 especially valuable.
