warn FARMERS
OF STOCK bilPE
STATE COLLEGE EXPERT UixaES
CARE IN GIVING MEDICINE
TO LIVESTOCK

Brookings, Oct. 2S.-Many South
Dakota farmers are losing money
by doping their animals with patent
nostrums. says B. A. Dunbar, profess
sor of chemistry at the state college
and chemist of the state experiment
station. He says his department re-
ceives an almost daily stream of let
ters from stock raisers announcing
their losses through death of live
stock, especially swine. They write
that they have treated these animals
with the patented nostrums which
flood the market under such titles as
'tonics' or cures" Some losses
have run as high as 40 per cent.
Professor Dunbar says: "Practi-
cally without exception these stock
remedies are proprietary mixtures of
well-known simple remedies which
have had place in veterinary prac-
tice for many years, but which in
these mixtures are now sold at high
prices under high-sounding names to
general public which seems pos
sessed of craze for buying whatever
is advertised without regard to its
special value in any particular case.
Stockmen who would never admit to
their family medicine chests any med
icine which was not properly labeled
as remedy for some specific dis
ease, and who would not sanction its
use for any but the one purpose of
its prescription, will apparently ad-
minister one remedy for all stock dis
eases, expecting cure in every case.
I'VE would urge most emphatic
ally, in the face of a really serious
loss of meat-food animals of late in
our own state as well as in surround
ing states, that stock-raisers aban-
don their reliance upon patented and
much-advertised stock remedies as
cure-alls, and take the time and ex-
pend the little money necessary to
secure the opinion of a reputable vet
erinarian before resorting to the
feeding of any remedy whatsoever in
cases of threatened loss of stock"

POINDEXTER ENTERS
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY FOR
THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION

Washington, d. C., Oct. 2S.-Sen-
ator Miles Poindexter, of Washing
ton, in a statement to the people of
the United States announced his can
didacy for the republican nomination
for president and presented plat
form of policies and principles which
he will advocate in his campaign.
The Washington senator in his
statement of policy denounces efforts
of labor leaders to tie up the rail-
roads as "go, ernment by terror for
special class" and declares that
the government must be made su-
preme to both capital and labor, al
though insisting that the just claims
of labor should be recognized.
Communism, Senator Poindexter
declared, is inconsistent with the
vested right of the laborer TO his
wages. Treating of international
matters, the platform remarks that
the process of making a supreme
sacrifice of Americans of joining
our fortunes with the fortunes Of
men everywhere should be stopped" !"
In making his statement of prin-
ciples Senator Poindexter, who is the
first publicly announced candidate
for the republican nomination, as
serted tht his announcement of poll
icy makes it necessary for the repub-
lican national convention in 1920 to
stand by his platform should he be
chosen as the party's standard bear
er.

Big EDUCA.
7IONAL DRIVE
"SQUAR DEAL FOR THE COUN.
TRY SCHOOL IN MADISON
TODAY

The square deap' program for the
country school as antinstitution and
also for the country pupils of the rich
productive state of South Dakota as
formulated in the state educational
department and taken up by enthusi-
astic educators in every county, is
now on and for the next three weeks
every rural home in this state will
come under the influence of one of
the greatest uplifting activities yet
known. This statewide drive begins
in earnest oday, not only in Lake
county, but in every other county
where the little old country school
has inadequately performed its edu-
eating mission.
The state department has organ
lied a force of leaders and speakers
who will visit every section in squads,
carrying the new gospel of better
educational facilities for the children
reared on farms. Every city and viii
lage is scheduled for local program
and here is where everyone can help.
Your attendance and interest is nee
essary if the national food problem
is ever to be solved or diminished
production obviated. The children on
the farms of this state must have
equal educational advantages with
the children reared in towns and
cities. Pertinent is the question, SIS
the grain crop of South Dakota
greater or more important than the
boy and girl CROP"
Ten educational teams are today
making a drive for better schools in
this county. Miss Emry, county SUI
perintendent, departed this afternoon
for Flandreau, where she will meet
and welcome the spakers and work
ers who are to invade Lake county
as follows: Four teams of two each,
working out from Wentworth; four
more teams of two each, carrying
their better rural school idea from
this city; one team to Junius and
also one to Winfred That is the
schedule now and no doubt it will be
of the drive. Every country school
will be visited and conditions noted.
This forenoon an educational pa
rade was planned and a program of
meetings devised for the normal
school, the central high school and
each ward building in the city. From
the time the parade of decorated
automobiles assemble in front of the
high school building at AIS p. m. to-
day until the last program is conclud-
ed on Wednesday there will be some
thing doing every minute to bring de-
feat and disaster to ignorance and
illiteracy.
A mass meeting at the high school
auditorium this evening at 8 o'clock
to which every booster for better
schools should turn out and the fol-
lowing meetings Wednesday:
Central high school, $40 a. m. to
1920 a. m
Normal 1890 a. m. to HIS a. m.

CITY COMMISSION
CITY ENGINEERS ESTIMATES ON
THE EXPENSE OF PAVING
CTTY STREETS

Inc city cOlHllSSlOu met III Ic6-
ular session last evening with all
members present. The time for con-
vening has been changed somewhat.
The hour will be 1880 o'clock dur
ing the winter months instead of
O'Clock, as formerly.
Some very important business was
transacted last night. After the
reading and approval of the minutes
of the preceding session the commits
sioners considered the estimates
worked out by the city engineer for
the proposed new paving recently
petitioned for by residents living
avenue east to the city limits.
Abutting property in that section
will be expected to pay for strip OF
lot width and extending thirty feet
towards the center of the street.
Those most interested in seeing
paving Improvement spread to the
east part of the city are desirous OF
knowing what the cost will be, hence
we give below the engineers figures
for paving Center street E.:
Creosoted wooden block, s45,-
047.70. or $11.33 per lineal foot.
Bithulithic. s2s.204.9o. or $40
per lineal foot.
Asphalted concrete. s23,534.90, or
s5.92 per lineal foot.
Sheet asphalt, $25,S69.90, or $500
per lineal foot.
Plain concrete, s25,1947O. or
$6.34 per lineal foot.
The costs given include the grad
ing, excavating, laying of sub-base
and the removal of all cross walks.
1t also includes curb construction and
cutters, setting water inlets, reset
ting manhole covers to grade. etc.
The submitted estimates were ap-
proved.
Following the allowance of several
small accounts presented for pay
ment, the commission opened sealed
bids for the $4,000 worth of water
works bonds which had previously
been advertised. Fourteen different
banking firms or bond institutions
sent their offer, accompanied by the
required draft or check, among them
being the First National bank of this
city. One company submitted two
different bids on the bonds, which
are to run for twenty years. After
considering them all very carefully
it was decided to accept the offer of
Bolger, Mosser & Whitman. Chi
cago bonding firm that offered to
take the bonds at five per cent, pay
ing the city a twenty-five dollar
premium.
The superintendent of the electric
light plant has been in need of poles
upon which to string wire. and at last
evenings meeting bids for same were
opened and read, though not acted
upon just then. About ninety of
these cedar poles make a carload, and
1t is the intention to order that many
although the cost will range around
$3.50. The city is growing and more
and more people are asking for light
and power, hence the need for ex-
tending such service through the pur-
chase of necessary equipment.
The next matter before the city
commission was the consideration oil
the bid of Gedney & Murphy, a Min
neapolis contracting firm, who offer.
ed to make the specified sewer ex.
tension along Fifth street NE. for the
sum of $4,000. The bid was accept.

STATE "Y" HOLDS
GREAT Meeting
FIRST STATE CONVENTION CON-
CLUDED AT ABERDEEN
WITH BANQUET

Aberdeen, Oct. 2S.-FollOwing a
day of many accomplishments, the
first state convention of the Young
Mems Christian association ended
with a banquet and speaking pro-
gram at the Commercial club, when
business men of the city mingled
with the delegates and profited by
several good talks by men of inter-
national repute. 1t was a fitting eli
max to the occasion of launching one
of the biggest movements the state
has ever seen.
Five members of the Y. NJ C. A. in
ternational committee were here, all
taking part in the conference which
will mean the organization of South
Dakota for the Y. NJ c.. A.
The first speaker on the program
was E. w. Peck, state secretary of
Minnesota, a man who has been in
Y. NJ c. A. for 33 years and picked
it for his life work because of the
opportunity it offered to help his
fellow men.
In launching the South Dakota
campaign, Mr.. Peck said, there were
three questions to be considered In
answering them this state can profit
by the experiences of states which
have already solved them.
The first question is: Is the need
agency, and is the time opportune?
Reciting the war record of the Y.
M. G. A., the speaker said the work
was surely needed, else a request for
1t from the government would not
have been made. 1t had been ap-
parent for many years that the Y.
M. C. A. was the agency through
which work of this kind could be
done.
Stating that he had great faith in
| the church, Mr.. Peck said the church
faces serious problem. This prob
lem can be solved by the use of the
Y. M. G. A. in connection.
II wouldn't care for the Y. M. c.
A. in the least il didn't think il
serves the church as it should" he
said.
The problem the church faces with
the Y. M. C. A. is the boys and young
men, the hope of America. Unless
the church can throw out lines OF
purity to these young people. it will
lose. The need for Y. M. G. A. to
cooperate with the church is as ap-
parent as can be. 1t will help the
boys get a bigger view of life.
This country has gone crazy over
fun" the speaker declared. II don't
mean fun through athletics, but
through frivolous emans."
He continued to link up the Y. M.
C.. A. and the church as a means of
starting thought along different
line. He declared it was time for
the laymen to get his eyes open and
not elave all the church work to the
preacher. 1t Is not the work of the
laity of the church. but 1t can be
counted on for assistance.
C. l.. Rowe, county work secre-
tary, also a member of the interna-
tional committee, explained the work
of the county division. A. b. Dale.
financial secretary; H. L. Hopkins OF
Clark: State Secretary Keagy, Leon
ard Paulson, boys work secretary,
and E. #. Danielson, secretarial Sec
retary, also spoke.

NEW BRAND OF DEMOCRACY
AND FREEDOM.

The current issue of Ford's Weekly
contains a eulcgy of the N~onpartisa1
league by the two Nonpartisan leagut
congressman from North Dakota.
The introduction to the article says:
"a genuine economic democracy
bringing industrial freedom to the
hand and brain workers in the cities
as we'll as the tillers of the soil, came
in North Dakota when the state leg.
i~slature passed the Industrial Com
mission Act-the parent bill Of the
Nonpartisan league program. 1t is
a most comprehensive plan, the most
important features of which provide
for the establishment and operation
of a s~tate-owned terminal elevator,
flour mill, packing plant and a Bank
of North Dakota"
just what is the meaning of "eco-
nomic democracy" or industrial free
dom?"
Lenine and Trotzky are supposed
to have some such program pretty
well established in Russia and if we
can believe reports from that country
the cost Of living has cone up to a
point that both "hand and brain work.
ers in the cities as we'll as tillers of
the soil" are hard pressed to fill their
stomachs, even after certain sections
of the country are cited as having
gone so far as to have common owner
ship of ONE under state regulation
and support, together with their chill
dren. That seems to be Economic
democracy" carried to the ultimate.
industrial freedom" in that country
is also fully developed as they simply
take over accumulated wealth in such
manner as best suits the ambitions
of the leaders.
The people of North Dakota have
apparently turned themselves over to
political dictation, eploration and con-
troll. The state has entered into COM
petition with its taxpayers in differ
ent lines of business. These citizens
must now pay taxes to support the
state program to put them out of bus
mess. The Nonpartisan league state
owned plants will pay no taxes.
This is a new brand of democracy"
and "freedom' for America and sayors
a little strongly of the Russian article
to set we'll with a deciple of old time
American freedom and initiative for
the individual.
