South Dakota Poultry
Worth Sum Of $l8,OOO,OOO

Brookings, S. d., Jan. 23.-Accord-
ing to the Bureau of Markets South
Dakota poultrg in 1917 was worth
SIS, SOC, 600. A recent survey by the
United States department of agricul-
ture credits the state with d 20 per
cen increase in 1918, making the
value of poultry something more than
$4,000, 900. According to e. l.. Dakan
professor of poultry ~husbandry at
State college. the poultry products of
the state are as great as the dairy
products, and are worth as much as
the vegetables, fruit, honey, flax and
rye, combined.
notwithstanding this fine aggregate
record, says Professor Dakan. ths
South Dakota hen lays an average OF
fewer than so eggs a year. This cas-
lily could be increased by proper edu-
cational and experimental work to 100
eggs for each hen yearly-which
would add SO, 200, 900 to the annual in
come Of the state South Dakota far
mers are losing 81, 900 a year be-
cause their eggs are disseminated
against in the eastern and Chicago
markets because these eggs are of
low grade. This loss IA be eliminat-
ed by an educational campaign show
ing proper care of eggs.
South Dakota is an ideal poultry
state, Professor Dakan says, and her
products could easily sell at a pre-
MUM on the metropolitan markets.
Some of these problems will be un-
dertaken by the poultry department
at State college as rapidly as facilities
and funds permit.

MARSHAL FOCH
PRAISES YANKS
"Y0ur Men Have The Devils Own
Punch" Is His Remark to
Pershing

Treves. Wednesday, Jan 15.-lt Is
the contention of Marshal Foch tina,
the Rhine must be made the barrier
between Germany and France. He
expressed this clearly today when he
received American newspaper cores
pondents. The marshal is here in
connection with the meeting concern
ing the extension of the German arm
istice.
Germany Can Quickly Recover
Germany now was beaten, he added,
but with her resources, especially in
men, r~ecuperation in a comparatively
short time was quite possible. II was
now the duty of the allies to prevent
further aggressions.
Marshal Foch praised the work Of
the American troops and said that
General Pershing had asked that the
American forces be concentrated for
an attack on one sector. The allied
generalissimo admitted that the Ar
gonne Mouse front, where the Ameri-
cans began their offensive on Septem-
Der 26, was a sector hard to tackle"
The marshal said he had told Gener-
al Pershing:
"Your men have the DEVILS own
punch. They will get away with all
that, Go to It," The American at
tack succeeded, the marshal continu-
ed, land here we are on the Rhine"
The armistice was not concluded
too soon and the allies got all they
asked for from Germany without con-
tinuing the fighting. The allies, the
marshal said, were prepared for an
other offensive stroke which would
have forced the Germans to give up.
This was to have been made in Lor-
raine on November IA, with six Amer
lean and twenty French divisions.
"This is, for me-" Marshal Foch
began, "a happy opportunity to tell
you all the good things I think OF
the American army and of the part
Il played on our side. Your soldiers
ware superb. There is no other word
When they appeared our armies, were
as you know, fatigued by three years
of relentless struggle.
-
"The youth of the United States
brot a renewal of the hope that has
tened victory. Nobody among us viii
ever forget what America did.
And you know what happened or
the field of battle since the month Ct
Juiy-frst on the Marine. then in the
region of Verdun."

chise League has called the woman

Pierre on January 29th and Goth. The
Conference will begin at nine a m. on

meeting and every county should be

Importance to the future will be up
for consideration. All women who APP
preciate the rights which have been
granted to them by the voters Of the

be present.
Rooms at the hotels should re en-
gagged at once. Those preferring to

STATE LAW MAKERS
BUSY AT PIERRE
Amendments Adopted at Last Election
Up For Consideration

Among the important measures TAX
en- up for the consideration of the leg
islature so far this session are the
Missouri River power development
bill. state hail insurance and the ce-
ment manufacturing plant.
In a bill introduced in the House
it is proposed to appropriate $500, 600
for the purpose Of locating a state
owned and operated cement plant in
Yankton county. The money to be
handled by a commission, of which the
governor is the head.
The state hail insurance proposition
is being threshed out by the commit
tee. Many bills have been presented,
but the one receiving the most consid-
Grafton is the bill introduced by In
surance Commissioner VanCamp. IL
is estimated that the insurance will
cost from 30 to As cents per acre, and
according to the bill the insurance will
be compulsory. This seems to be the
main stumbling block as many farr,-
ers have never carried hail insurance
and object to being forced to take 1t
out by the state.
A number of bills have been intro
duced for the investigation and devel-
opment of different sites along the
Missouri river. A bill is being pre-
pared. however, which will take care
of all the bills, and give an excuse for
the legislature for not passing them.
It is proposed to create a hydro-elec-
trio commission consisting of the gov
ernor. secretary of state, chairman OF
the railroad commission, state angi-
neer, and secretary of the historical
society, to serve without additional
nay except necessary expenses. They
will be empowered to employ COM
petent engineers 70 investigate inst
how practicable are the various pow
er sites along the Missouri, and also
the possible mark. for power and
lights. Ali these propositions were
adopted at the last election.

German Girls Arrested
For Flirting with Yanks

Colbenz, Jan. 16.-Twenty German
girls at Andernach nsar here have
been arrested, charged with violation
OF General Pershing's order forbid
ding them to talk with American SOL
diers. These arrests have served to
emphasize determination of the Amer.
lea command not to permit fraterniza-
ton in occupied regions. Apparently
the same number have been proven
guilt of violating the order and have
been deported to points within the
German lines.
The provost guard or military po-
lice are certain to interfere should
an officer attempt to talk with a wo-
man on the street or In a cafe.

PEACE CONGRESS
FORMALLY OPENS
All Working For A Speedy and just
Peace

Paris, Jan. 1S.-President Raymond
Poincare Of France, President Wood
row Wilson of the United States,
David Lloyd George, premier of Great
Britain, and Georges C~lemenceau.
French premier, voiced the purpose
of the allies to obtain a just and
speedy peace today at the formal
opening of the peace congress-the
first occasion in history in which the
actual government heads of the three
nations delivered addresses before the
same meeting
Present were the accredited repre-
s~entatives of 25 nations, all those that
had declared war upon or broken re-
lations with Germany. 1t was in the
French foreign ministry building,
where the sessions are to continue till
terms are completed for presentation
to Germany.
Fix Blame For War
This gathering was described by
President Wilson as 'the supreme
council of mankind and by President
Poincare as "the conference of Paris"
All powers represented were asked
to submit data bearing on three sub
jects:.
The responsibility of the authors of
the war.
The responsibility for crimes COM
mitted during the war.
Legislation respecting the interna-
tional needs of labor.
The League of Nations will be the
first business of the mex meeting.
Poincare Calls for Justice
President Poincare opened the meet
ing with an address in which he first
spoke of the German plot for world
supremacy and the successive enlist
ment of the Allied nations in the war
to defeat it.
The Allies, he said, must form a
solid block to prevent Germany from
succeeding in any attempt to prevent
them from achieving the full results
of victory. This, he declared, should
be absolute justice, with restitution
reparation, and guarantees. The AL
lies, he declared, should protect and
defend the newly liberated nations and
10Th in a League of Nations, al pro-
posed in President Wilson's 14th point.
Wilson NOminates Clemenceau
President Wilson followed, propos-
ins Premier Clemenceau for president
of the conference, paying a glowing
tribute to him. Mr.. Wilson advocated
speedy action in bringing about peace.
Lloyd George. in seconding the nom
ination of Clemenceau, declared that
there should be no delays in restoring
peace.
Premier Clemenceau in accepting
the chairship Endorsed the League OF
Nations proposal, which he described
as "a new institution that would be a
"pohle reparation' for the catastrophe
OF war.
This first session in which all the
Allies were represented was attended
BY 200 newspapermen. The question
of publicity for future sessions was
not determined, being left for decision
as circumstances may require.
