.SERb|ANS ARE
NOW GETTING A
HOLD ON. LIFE

NISH, acknowledgements
Associated Press-Three months oI
unremitting industry, 'unhampered
''by Bulgarian and Austrian depreda'
tions or interference. have enabled
the Serbian people to secure n new
hold ON life. With the country en-.
tirely free of invaders, the large peas.

fashion, and conditions should be al
most normal soon,
Large quantities OF wheat and 9TH
er staples. which the shrewd Serbian
farmers hid from the enemy, have re-
appeared. At the moment the most
pressing needs seem to be clothing,
shoes. fuel and agricultural implo-
ments.
Apparently there is plenty Of
money In the country. some Of II hav-
ing come from Austrian and German
soldiers. who, II may be said to their
credit. paid for most Of the articles
they took from the Serbians during
their occupation. However. the Bull
garians, who requisitioned almost cv-
erything they required from the al
ready straitened population. often
paid nothing for what they took. In
the cities most OF the stores have no
stocks because they sold almost every
thing to the Austrians and Germans.
Fortunately the harvest last fall
was exceptionally good and there
probably will be nothing approaching
starvation among the poor this win
ter. The enemy. troops carried on
almost every article OF value they
could lay hands on. but they did not
have time. owing to the suddenness

II sold for cents pound. now It
sells for Sc cents. Large numbers OF
sheep raised in the mountains fur
nish not only valuable meat supply
but an abundance OF wool, which has
provided the peasants with the only
they have had In four years.
Serbia's most vital need is for
clothing. Even well-to-do persons
are shabbily or. at least. scantily clad.

INVESTIGATION OF BUTTER
PRICES is EXPECTED

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 26.-It is ex-
pected that the investigation by Off
GERS Of the federal food administra-
ton of butter prices in Iowa will be
extended to South Dakota within a
short time. Retail prices Of butter in
Sioux Falls and other points in South
Dakota have very materially increased
during the past month, butter now
selling at the highest price ever COM
manded In the state. According to the
manufacturers there was a large de-
crease in the production IF butter for
storage purposes because of an alleged
shortage Of help during the summer
months. They also claim that lack of
pasturage among dairymen made it
necessary to use high priced feed in
order to keep the creameries supplied.
1t is believed, however, that with the
announcement that butter prices may
be investigated by federal agents that
the South Dakota manufacturers of
butter may find a way to adjust the
retail market conditions SO that the
consumer may be able to purchase
butter at a fair price. Owing to the
present high prices numerous consume
ers are using butter substitutes.
which can be purchased at about me-
half the price charged for creamery
butter.

SOLDIERS ANXIOUS

South Dakotan In Base Hospital

the war is over we are all crazy to get

Thus writes Russell Houde, one Of
the South Dakota soldiers who were in
the thick of the fighting during the
closing weeks of the war. He was
and also was slightly gassed,
ana at the time of writing the letter
was in "a base hospital receiving treat
ment. His letter continues:
They a we will be shipped out of

formed into companies of $50 men each
and Will be shipped back to the United

SAYS MENM0N|TES
STAY IN CANADA
Head of Colony In South Dakota
Says His People Are Pleased
With Their New
Home.

Memo, s. D., Dec. 28.-Recent re-
ports ent from the central part of the
state were to the effect that a repre-
sentative Of the old Maxwell Mennonite
colony, which moved from South Da-
kota to western Canada some months
ago, had arrived in South Dakota for
the purpose of striving to purchase
back the colony lands in this state, the
inference being that the colonists had
decided to return to South Dakota.
Rev. Paul Stahl, Of the Tschetter col
cny. denies these reports, stating that
the colonists had purchased a very fine
tract of land in Canada, consisting of
several thousand acres, and had no in
tention OF returning to South Dakota.

FLU CONTROvERSY
MAY CO TO COURT
People of Aberdeen, S. D., Are
Divided rs to ACCESSIBILITY
of Using the Gauze
Masks.

Aberdeen. S. D., Dec. 26.-Aberdeen's
war upon the influenza by means of
the FLU" mask has started a lively
controversy between different schools
Of thought on the subject. So far the
discussion has gone no further than
the argumentative stage, but it is not
improbable that it may reach the
courts before the epidemic is over.
The discussion was started when DIR.
r. l.. Murdy came out in a newspaper
Interview, declaring wearing Of masks
as a preventative of influenza vas "all
nonsense" and unclean besides, and
that persons who wear the folds of
gauze over mouth and nose rebreathed
unclean air, a most unhealthful prac-
tice, while there was nothing to show
that the masks prevented anyone
catching the disease. DR.. Murdy as
ailment that has been epidemic sew
eral times a century since the begin
ming of civilization, and that the rea
son SO few persons over 40 had the
disease now was because most of e
had it in their younger days, in the
form Of ia grippe" which swept the
country in the early '9s.
DR.. Murdy's position Is endorsed in
a newspaper article by w. p. Butler, a
socialist. who charges the physicians
and the health board with selfish mo-
tives in requiring the wearing of
masks. A. E. Joy, a leader of the
Christian Science church, also wrote
a newspaper article ~contending the
practice was wrong.
On the other hand h Aberdeen
Retail Merchants Association, after
a conference with the health board
physicians issued resolutions an
nouncing its strict adherence to the
regulations, n pledging its members
to carry out the rules in every pos
sible way. The health board has abb
rogated that part of the regulations
requiring the wearing of masks on the
streets, but requires them to be worn
in all public places, including stores,
restaurants, churches and theaters. A
number of violators were arrested and
fined, but the practice is generally be-
ing followed.
The health board no longer pub
fishes the number of cases of influen-
"a, but it is believed the epidemic.
while quite extensive, is diminishing
rather thai gaining. The local emer-
gency hospital is crowded to it's ca
oacity of "A patients, the regular hos
pitfalls are filled to capacity, and there
are many patients at private homes.
One or two physicians have become
