Announcement.

This is the first issue of the
paper under the new manage
ment. The paper was purchas-
ed through no ulterior motive,
but for the express purpose of
boosting Navajo county and Win
slow in particular. The sole aim
of this paper in the future will
be to boost, and then boost some
more, everything which tends to
improve and build up Navajo
county.
The time is now ripe for the
paving of the business district Of
the town; Navajo county now
has a feasible plan for a large
irrigation project, which will re-
claim for farming over 100, 900
acres of our arid land. Just as
soon as Secretary Bob Walton
of the Chamber of Commerce,
gets the necessary data together
we will print a map of the pro-
posed project, and give it all the
publicity possible, lending full
assistance to the Chamber of
Commerce to put it over.
There is current rumor ahoat
that this paper was purchased,
and was to be controlled by the
oil interests of the county, prob
ably due to the fact that under
the previous management the
paper has been antagonistic to
the Holbrook oil field. We wish
to set that rumor at rest with
the statement that not a dollar
of oil capital is invested in the
paper, and it will be controlled
by no one except the editor. 1t
will not boost the oil game in
this county except by way of le-
gitimate advertising, which is
being accepted by practically ev-
cry paper in the state.

The Home Coming.

There was much speculation
a few months ago as to what
would happen when the army
men came home. There were
about 4, 900, 900 of them in Amer
ican camps and in training and
in service abroad. They had be-
come accustomed to a new mode
of life. Half of them had seen
new lands and peoples. Nearly
half had gone through the ordeal
of warefare with it's hardships,
horrors and strange innovations.
In what mood would these men
return? Would they fit into
their old inches in business, in
dustry and social life? Would
they be content again in civilian
work? Or would they turn to
iconoclasts and revolutionists?
Most of them have come home
by this time. Since the signing
of the armistice over 5000, 900
enlisted men and officers have
been discharged from the army.
And what has been the result?
Anybody can see for himself.
There is no revolution, those men
are not upsetting things. They
are getting jobs and going back
to work and taking their places
in the social and economic schme
with surprising ease and prompt
ness. They have made hardly
more than a ripple in the nation
al life.
They are healthier, stronger,
more disciplined, better men ply
sically, mentally, morally. They
are more progressive, energetic
and confident. That is about
all-but it is a great deal, and it
is something for which most of
the people at home were not pre-
pared.
For these practical gains in
stead of loss of steadiness and
stamina that so many feared,
the nation should be profoundly
thankful. Arizona Star.

The Fruits of Labor

Writing on "Everybody's bus
iness," in the Saturday Evening
Post, Floyd w. Parsons has this
to say of the new attitude of
workmen toward their work:
"As for the lessons the war
has taught labor, none exceeds
in value those that have taught
workmen generally to abandon
old ideas of restriction of output.
Even in Europe the union lead
ers themselves have taken a de-
cided stand against these old
theories. Only the radicals who
are seeking to reyolutlonize So
ciety continue to hold to the be-
lief that increased production is
wholly for the benefit of the cap
italist. The level-headed work
ers are spreading the gospel that
the nation must produce in order
to live. They have mastered the
most important fundamental,
which is that the employe can
not share in what is not produc-
ed. 1t is dangerous to cultivate
the idea that by doing less one
can have more"
1t is true that the old policy of
organized labor generally SEEM
ed to be based on the "idea that
by doing less one can have
more" Stated now in so many
words, the fallacy is self-evi-
dent. 1t was not so evident,
however. in the old days when
it was generally believed by the
workers that all the profit went
to the employer. Holding that
belief, it was not unnatural for
the workers to advocate holding
down production, partly through
desire to cut down the employ
er's exhorbitant profits.
There has been enlightment
on both sides. Employers are
becoming more willing to share
with their employees, and en-
ployees are really gaining a new
view of the essential partnership
of labor and capital in industry.
1t is partnership which, like
every other, will not work unless
both partners play fair. The first
step, generally speaking, is for
the employer to make it perfect
ly plain that he is going to play
fair. If the workmen then do
their part, then there will GER
tainly come such a revolution in
industry as few capitalists or
workers have expected-a peace
full revolution, resulting in an
amazing increase in production,
and a corresponding increase of
commodities for the use and
pleasure of the workers. -Ari-

NOTED WOMAN SPEAKER

Madame Laura de Gozdawa Tur
czynowicz, born in Canada, spent her
life from earliest infancy in the United
States, her father being an American
citizen. AS a young girl she went
abroad to school to complete her mu-
steal education; while there she met
the man whom she married, thus
bringing her life into almost unknown
channels. At the time that the war
broke out the family were in Suwalkl
on the edge Of the border between
Russia and Germany, in that portion
which was known as Russian-P Poland,
but which really was in the ancient
state of Lithuania. In her book, when
has been one of the most popular OF
the war literature, these experiences
are Incorporated. After many harrow
ing months during the first year Of
husband, who was with the Russian
army, she finally made her escape In
October, 1915, with he three small
children and came to America. Dur
ing the time of the United States par
ticipatiOn in the war, her efforts were
untiring and she has a record of 1872
speeches. Her service for the Red
Cross brought great results. She
travelled from one end of the country
to the other, giving freely Of strength
and talents to the cause of the cross
of mercy.
This noted woman will speak at the
College auditorium on Wednesday
evening, November 5th, in the interest
of the Red Cross membership drive.
1t will be entirely free and all are in
vited to learn Of the great work &C
complished by the greatest agency on
earth for the doing of good. At the
College auditorium next Wednesday
evening, at s o'clock.

CONGRESS VOTES
FOR DRY COUNTRY
PRESIDENTS VETO OF ENFORCE
MENT LAW WAS BEATEN
IN BOTH HOUSES
INTERNATIONAL LABOR MEETING HELD
First One Of international Bodies Gre
ated BY Act of the Peace Treaty
Meets in Washington.

From Associated Press dispatches
the following account is given of the
action Of congress on the presidents
veto of the prohibition enforcement
law passed by congress:
The senate passed the prohibition
veto yesterday and made effective i'm
mediately, machinery for preventing
the sale of beer containing more than
one-half of one per cent alcohol. The
necessary two-thirds majority. While
there was a wrangle over taking up
the measure in place of the peace
treaty. there never was doubt as to
whelmingly solid like the house, which
repassed the bill within three hours
after the president vetoed it. There
came from the white house the an
nouncement that the wartime law
which was put into effect after the
cessation Of hostilities-would be an
nulled the moment the senate finally
ratified the German peace treaty. 1t
was the most definite of official or
semi-oficial statements bearing on the
wartime act. Prohibition leaders were
disturbed by the news for they had
counted firmly on the nation reaching
the date of constitutional prohibition
16, 1920-without r~eopening
of saloons.
Despite the clamor set up by wet
and dry forces over the white house
pronouncement. senate leaders said
they would proceed with consideration
Of the treaty as heretofore. Formal
denial was issued from headquarters
of the anti-saloon league that its Of
ficers would take in any moment cal
culated to delay the treaty. With &C,
ton by the senate, the department Of
justice Is ready to deal with any Of
tenders against the drastic provisions
of the new act. So drastic is the en-
forcement act that a man, for instance,
may be fined or put in Jail for dis
playing a picture of a brewery or a
keg, but his right to store liquor in
his own home for his own use, stood
up against all attacks in committee
and both houses of congress. Senator
Sterling of South Dakota, voted in IA
vor of overriding the veto while Sena-
tor Johnson was also in favor, and
was paired with Stanley of Kentucky,
against.

A FINE STOCK SALE

Two very important sales were held
in this county two days last week
of which the Register has been able
to obtain the following facts. On
October 81 Tom Maher offered fol
sale twenty head Of Holstein cattle
and fifty-fve Poland China hogs. and
the total Of this sale came to the
splendid sum of $11,420. The top
priced COW brought $2S7.50 and the
top priced SOW was a yearling by Mas.
terpiece, Jr., which sold for $660.00,
Twenty spring gifts which went a,
the sale averaged a price of $251.5 0
The spring boars also went at good
figures and the top n brought
$205.0O. Mr.. Maher had his catalog
for the sale printed at the Register
Office and asked us to quote him as
saying, "Your work in printing my
catalog was better than that of most
of the outside houses that l have seen
and taking into consideration express
charges and other necessary costs, it
was cheaper that any figures l re-
ceived from other printers" The sale
of grade Holstein COWS and heifers
at the farm Of James Maher the next
day, was just as successful in its
outcome. Seventy-eight head brought
the goodly sum of $6,911.0 90. The top
price for a grade o was 1912. so,
a figure that far exceeds the high
prices that have been paid in the
county this fall. While this COW was
an exceptionally good n and traced
back to excellent Holstein breeding
it is certainly a marker for prices in
South Dakota. Twenty other grade
offered averaged $136.5O pei
head. From reports Of those who at
tended these sales, they are said to
have been two of the snappiest of the
year. Both Of the sales were crieo
by Col. Tom Maher, of Pleasant Val
ley Stock Farm, and both he and his
brother are well pleased with the re-
suits of their efforts in improving
cattle and swine breeding, as evil
denced by the results Of the sales.

A BIG SWINE SALE

A goodly sized crowd assembled at
the sale of swine by G. A. Ponto, on
last Thursday, and it was a record
breaking sale Of big type Poland China
gifts and boars. Forty head were sold
for the sum of Sc, 800. 90, with an aver
age of $1,000 per head for all Of.
fered. Seventeen gifts averaged
$4,000 per head and made one of the
classiest punches of hogs ave offered
at n time. Mr.. Ponto is a well
known breeder, his stock is always of
the finest and in excellent condition
and these sales are always looked fol
by swine breeders as an event of the
selling season. The big chicken din
ner, served free to those who at
tended, was another triumph of the
culinary art and was most thoroughly
enjoyed by the many who partake of
the bounty of Mr.. Ponto.

The annual session of the school of
agriculture opened at State College on
Monday with a fine registration. Up

COLLEGE BUYS NEW PLANT

During the past week State College
has entered into contracts for the fur
nishing of the machinery and material
for installing at the college of a first
class printing plant. One of the prime
factors that made this move necessary
was the extreme dilatoriness on the
part of printers to whom bids were
let for the printing and delivery of
college bulletins and other neces-
sary printing. Many important bull
letins have been prepared and then
the authorities would have to wait
for months, even a year. for their de-
livery, so that they could be sent out
to the farmers. 1t is a matter which
the regents have carefully considered
and this new department is really as
necessary to the right development,
of the college work as any that is now
in existence. Another thing that the
regents may consider. and in fact it
is said to be the plan of President
Johnson, to start at some time in the
future a school of printing, wherein
the yOuth OF the state may learn the
art preservative and have in that way
another craft or trade for self sup
port. AS a college of mechanic arts,
this is strictly within the scope for
which the college was instituted an6
will near additional drawing power
for the gathering of students. Other
work that the new plant can do for
the college will also be for the per
manent benefit of the state, but it will
in no wise conflict with strictly COM
mercial printing which the other &C.
~tivities connected with the college re-
Quire. The plant will cost about
twelve thousand dollars and has been
ordered and will be installed during
the coming winter and spring.
