HIGH TRIBUTE PAID TO
WOMEN BY SECR ETA

In pamphlet issued by the National
Womans Liberty Loan committee high
tribute is paid to the American women
who have worked for the Liberty Loans
by Carter Glass, Secretary Of the Treas
ury,
'Ihe women Of the United States saw
what they could DO in time Of war and
fitted themselves TO new conditions in
order to give essential service. Now
that this has come they have been no
less quick to understand that the cessa-
ton of hosllities did not end the obli-
cations in warfare. Our job is not yet
done, and the women of the nation will
not turn away until the work is accom-.
plished, states Mr.. Glass. at is in full
confidence that they will do this work
that the government today asks every
woman of the nation to become a teach,
er in the Victory Liberty Loan. Not
every woman may buy a bond, but
every woman can preach bond buying
to some one who can afford the pur
chase. We, the people, are the govern
ment, and when we say TO help the
government pay its Just debts we near
to help ourselves pay our just debts
When we understand that such pay
ment insures our national, our persona
honor, we can do no less than urge it.

VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN SUNDAY.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April l4.-Clergy-
men to the number of about 10000 and
of every creed in existence will forget
about denominational differences on
Easter Sunday morning when all will
join hands in the common cause Of en-.
dorsing the Victory Liberty Loan
Conscious of the splendid work they
did in past Liberty Loan campaigns,
Chairman A. r. Rogers was extremely
anxious to enlist their support again
With that end in view, he designated
Easter as "Victory Liberty Loan SIM
day" and in letter sent broadcast to
the clergymen Of the district prayed
their support. From the volume OF
answers that Mr.. Rogers has received it
might be said that his prayer has been
answered.
Nothing could be more appropriate
than naming Easter as Victory Liberty
Loan SUNDAY" said Mr.. Rogers today
"Inasmuch as the loan campaign opens
the next morning the clergy men's S words
should still be fresh in eyeryone's ears
when the solicitors come around.
"The noble work the Ministers did in
the first four Loan campaigns won the
attention of official Washington and il
they are with US again as the letters in.
dicate, ! haven't the slightest worry over
the outcome Of the campaign to put over
! the Loan of Thankfuness."

has been issued by the state highway
department places the state highway
funds available for the next three years
in this state at IS, 400 $50. OF this, the
federal part is 50, 343y0S. When it came
to handling this fund the members OF
the legislature insisted that each county
should get share and the issue Of any
state highway construction was limited
to patchwork in the different counties.
The distribution was made on a popu-
lation and are a basis, and on that basis
the highest amount to any one county
goes to Minnehgha, $44O, 255. Brown
county gets 1892, $50, while a number of
counties get more thal S2OOOOO out of
the fund The smallest amount 10 any
one county goes to the unorganized
county of Armstrong, which is given
$3.50 The smallest sum to any organ
lied county goes to Bennett with Sl3,-
IA. Out of the states part ofthe appro-
priation p per cent. is retained, Of which
10 per cent. is to be used as an operating
fund, and lj per cent is to be used as for
connecting up and completing projects
which the different county funds will
not cover.

PERTAINING TO SCHOOLS.

The Pierre Capital-Journal says that
some Of the country schools, and possi.
bly, city schools of the state, will need
to be kept open to the last day of June
if they want to get their share of the
state school fund apportionment, accord
ing to an opinion by the Attorney Gen
eral given on request Of State Superin-
tendent Shaw, on his inquiry as TO the
effect of schools being closed on account
of the epidemic of last fall and winter.
The holding is in effect that seven
months school is required to secure a
portion of the state fund, unless such is
impossible before the end of the school
year June 80. The holding is in effect
that each school is expected to be kept
open seven months in the year if it is tc
get the benefits Of the state apportion.
ment, unless il is shown that the schools
were legally closed for cause sufficient
to limit the time under seven months
but if that time can be put in at any
time the school year it must be used to
that purpose and the schools kept open
If the teachers contract expires before
the last Of June, then a new contract
must be entered into to carry up to that
date. Without such action, and the
schools be allowed to terminate with
out seven months of operation, the ap
portionment cannot be paid for suct
school. Either seven months Of oper
school or open school to the last o
June is the only way to keep open th'
apportionment fund from the state
Lacking in either of these the appor
tionment cannot be made

CUSTER SCHOOL
Holds Contest in Defamation and Oratory
at the High School Building Last
Friday Evening.

The Contest on Defamation and Ora.
tory held at the High School building
last Friday evening drew a large audi,
ence and was very interesting from the
first. There were nine contestants as
follows Blanche kirk, Eva Wilson,
Helene Mclaughlin, Myrtle Harris,
Antoine Snyder, Haley on Porath, Mar.
garet Adair, Mildred Tsimble and Ruth
Kennedy The Judges were Mrs. c, T.
Perrin, Miss Mile lieidepriem and f.
w. Sellers. Those receiving the highest
places were as follows First, Miss Mar
garet Adair; second, Antoine Snyder
third, Miss Helene Mclaughlin. In
announcing the winners MIR. Sellers
voiced the sentiment Of the audience by
saying that ''the whole contest was car
ried on in such form and was Of such
high class that it was not an easv task TO
decide the winners, this being especially
true Of the three who were given the
high places" All did exceedingly well
and people were generally surprised to
learn later that the practice and coach
ing had been very limited The fine
work done speaks highly of the talent Of
these young people and the instructors
and Of Miss Ruth Stewart who gave them
the necessary training leading up to the
contest. One of these winners will rep
resent Custer schools at Spearish soon
in the elimination contest to determine
those who Will participate in the big
event at Huron.
The program was interspersed by sew.
eral numbers as fellows A very pretty
solo and well given by Miss Leta Elliott.

land, who on this very difficult instru-
ment delighted the audience. Then
came 'The Swedish Clap" dance which
took the audience by storm. This was
given by eight of our most beautiful and
accomplished young ladies. 1t was a
winner and no mistake. The final num-
Der in the way of musical was the High
School Glee Club composed of about 20
High School girls who gave an unusually
high class number, which was encored
and brought another to the delight of
all This feature of the program brought
the comment that was heard of the
whole evenings work, 1--WE didn't req
lize that we had such material here in
Custer. The accompanies of the even
ing were Mrs. Meyers, Miss Francis

NO DANGER RAISING

Brookings, S. D.-Farmers need not
worry about producing too much pork
in South Dakota, says Guy +. Morrison,
livestock specialist of the State College
extension division.
There is a vast outlet for pork pro-
ducts at profitable price. There is
plenty of feed for swine. By feeding
more pasture crops, more legume crops,
letting swine hog off some of the corn
and using the self-feeder, pork may be
produced cheaply at a minimum labor
cost.
Mr. Morrison calls attention to the
fact that while Iowa produced II 600, ,OO0
pigs last year, South Dakota produced
only one-seventh that amount In four
years South Dakota has increased her
swine production Is per cent. She can
double that production without making
any perceptibe effect on the total sup
ply of the nation.

A. E. F. LOST BAGGAGE.

National headquarters has called at
tention to the fact that there are at
present approximately 10000 pieces
of lost baggage belonging to the men,
bers of the A. E. F. on the govern
ment docks at Hoboken, N. Y, consist
ing Of 10000 trunk lockers, $4,000 bed
rolls, 5000 suit cases and 10000 bar
rack bags, which have come from over
seas and remain unclaimed by their
owners.
Much of this baggage is marked
with the name only and cannot be for
warded to the owner. In all cases a
new shipping address is required. All
owners of lost baggage should be ad-
vised to send their claims and present
addresses to the Lost Baggage Branch,
Pier No. 2, Hoboken, New Jersey, with
an accurate description of the missing
property.
The home service department of the
Valley county Red Cross desires to
assist each man from overseas to re-
cover his property as we'll as to help
the government to dispose of this enor-
nous accumulation. Write or call at
the chamber Of commerce at Glasgow
for further particulars in this regard.

ARE DECEIVING.

It is not always possible to tell Just
when n is going to be married by
looking at them. j. C. Christensen
of Havre, the popular salesman for
Jenny, Semple & Hill, found this out
to his entire satisfaction last Tuesday
while in the city. Christ is one of
those big fellows, and one of those
good fellows, who always wants to be
classed among the boys. While call
ing on his trade in the city Tuesday
he made the remark to a young lady
that he would present her with a
$3.50 set of Community silver if she
was married that day.. The big Dane
now come across with the silver
as the wedding took place that eve
ming.
This is the second time in the career
of this salesman that he has made the
remark and the second time that
he has had to produce the goods. Two
years ago he made the same propo-
to a party in Cut Bank and the
was married as per schedule.
The two weddings have cost Christ
about five hundred dollars and he is
just about through making PROPOSE
of any kind. 1t is the outside
money that helps to keep the town
up and here is hoping that some more

FRENCH WANT OUR LUMBER.

The purchase of American lumber
by France is advocated by certain
French interests in order to supply
an estimated need of 14,715, 900 board
feet annually for several years, ac-
cording to information secured by the
bureau of markets of the United
States department of agriculture. The
species recommended are Douglas fir
and southern pine. At present the
tariff and freight rates in France on
American lumber are much higher
than on lumber coming from Euro
pean countries, and American meas
urements are different from those m
ployed in Europe. These difficulties
are not considered insurmountable,
however, and an effort will probably
be made to overcome them.
