EXPRESS RATES
DIRECTOR GENERAL McADOO
HAS ORDERED INTERSTATE
RATES ADVANCED.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 3.--Higher in
trastate express rates in South Da"
kota "a ordered BY Dircctoc General
McAdoo, of the United States Rail-
way Express company, will not yet
go into effect. Not only has the state
declined to see the Justice in the
raise, bur the South Dakota railway
commission, through Attorney Cen
eral G. C.. Caldwell, has obtained a
temporary restraining order from the
state supreme court, returnable jan
uary 16, at IL o'clock moor
According to G. o. Bailey, attorney
for the express company, who was
served with the restraining order, Di-
rector McAdoo has ordered the new
rates put into effect at once and he
believes that Director McAdoo should
have been made a party to this new
suit as the American Railway Ex-
press company is in no way RESPONSE
BILE for the order"
Attorney General Caldwell, on the
other hand, holds that he has fully
considered this point and says that
while he has no knowledge that the
express company will attempt to dis
obey the restraining order, it remains
for the court to properly adjudicate
the controversy and not the director
general OF railroad administration
The next o is now up to the
company.

LYRIC THEATER
"HEARTS OF THE WORLD TO BE
SHOWN JANUARY 10,
10 AND II.

Very few people have any concep-
ton of the immense amount OF mon
ey that must be spent and thrown
away in the making of a great pic
ture spectacle such as D.. w. Grit
fith's supreme triumph Hearts of
the World" In all 10000 feet of
film was exposed and photographed
and yet only 10000 feet are shown.
Thousands upon thousands of feet
of film that represented months of
thought and labor and many thou
sands of dollars in expense had to be
thrown away in order to reduce this
wonderful picture to a single e
ing's entertainment. The saddest
days of the great producers career
were those when with his camera
man and assistants he sat down to
cut this precious film. Every incl
was dear to him and it was like part
ing with his hearts blood to see it
thrown ruthlessly into the discard.
But it had to be, for although every
foot was rich in story and material
it would have kept an audience 80
hours in the theater to see every foot
of picture that had been made. 1t re-
quired almost as much genius to cut
the film as it did to conceive the
story and produce it. And there is
where the master mind of Griffith
came in again for in his arrangement
of the scenes he plays upon the heart
| strings of his audience like a violin
list on his instrument. One minute
he has the blood surging around your
heart with excitement, the next you
are laughing at some charming bit OF
comedy and almost in the same
breath you are moved to tears OF
sympathy for the heroine and her
friends. ID. w. Griffith is the master
of the world when 1t zones to pic
ture s~pectacles. He almost makes
them talk and he Is the only produc-
err who does not make n regret the
absence of the voice.
Hearts of the World" will be seen
in this city at the Lyric theater Jan
uary Is, 16 and II. If you miss the
opportunity you will forgive
yourself.

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Jan. 3.-Sales yester-
days fell close to the minimum pos
sible, while Chicago reported an SIS
top and Omaha paid $3.50 for the
best grades. Shipping demand again
was limited and the market failed to
advance to its proper position be-
cause o fthat fact. The packers
showed a fair demand and had a suf-
ficient opening for the entire lot, but
the competition necessary to create
a rising market was lacking.
The quality of the hogs again was
good. there being but a very few un-
derweight or old rough hogs in the
offering.
In general the market was fairly
active, and prices were quoted 10c
higher than those OF the preceding
day. Top hogs sold at $3.50 and
the bulk of sales was made ct $17.00

attention to the fact that Iroquois
has one of the best soft water arte-
sian wells in South Dakota. This
well for a period Of 80 years has pro-
vided the town with water for fire
protection and domestic purposes.
The water from the Iroquois well is
as soft as rain water and frequent

ter. 1t is a curious fact that water
in the artesian well at Huron, Is
miles from %Iroquois, is exceedingly
hard.

CITY HIGH SCHOOL
BAD LUCK ATTENDS TEACHERS
WHO ENDEAVOR TO RE-
SUME WORK.

The heating system at the high
school. is causing considerable trou-
BILE. Owing to the burning out of a
fan motor, radiation of heated air
through the building is impossible,
Yesterday afternoon the sessions
were closed early because of lower
ing temperatures and this morning
found teachers again facing the same
state Of affairs, therefore, nothing
could avail but complete dismissal
for the day. Surely the school pro-
gram has suffered many handicaps
this rear and just how to handle the
situation for N remainder of the
year is quite problematical.
At last Tuesdays session it was
given out school would continue
through the week as heretofore and
also part of Saturday for the remain
ing portion of the year. The teach
ers put forth that plan and the stu
dents readily acquiesced in the ar
rangement, for it must be confessed
that there are boys and girls both
in the grades and the high school
who are earnestly desiring to do real
student work and they are the one
who are willing to put in many extra
hours in order to advance their edu-
cation. This speaks well for the
young people of Madison who have
been patient during the past weeks
of hardship that has blocked their
school program.
1t is hoped that some way can be
found whereby these and other stu
dents can carry on their school work
for the latter half Of the year and re-
Give at least some of the credits they
so fully deserve. Possibly a sort of
summer school session can be arrang-
ed for to accommodate the members
of the high school who regret that
conditions are such that they are
fairly likely to be unable to earn
their full credits and receive their
regular graduation for this year. A
half day summer school session
would round out enough of their
years work to permit them to enter
college next fall should they desire
to take that step.
The sympathies of this community
should be extended to the teachers
who patiently are trying to put up
with one of the most difficult school
years of several decades. The epi-
demic has all but demoralized school
and educational plans in many local
tiles and this has made it difficult all
around for teachers, instructors in
colleges and for boards of education
that have school interests at heart.
Although the teachers salaries are
forthcoming, under contract, still
there are few who would not much
rather be at their regular employ
ment in the school room. Thousands
of these worthy workers have suffer
ed weeks of enforced idleness; many
have travelled long distances, at great
expense, only to find their schools
closed, or about to close because of
the phases of the disease that has
had such a deadly grip on sections
. of this country and others across the
seas.
Really it has been a hard year for
education, and the end is not yet,
1t would be regrettable, indeed,
should the Madison board of educa-
ton again find 1t necessary to close
down our public schools for any
length of time-even a few weeks
now.

The two straws which Noske rep
resents as having broken the back Of
German endurance, says the correspon
dent, are the demand for dock and har
Dor material and the protocol en-
powering the allies to enforce execu-
tion of the peace treaty.
The correspondent says that during
his talk with Noske he suggested that
if the Germans had not sunk the war
ships in the Scapa Flow, the demand
of the Allies for tugs and docks would
not have been made. To this he says
Noske replied:
Invented Some Pretext.
ooh, yes, they would. The British
would have invented some pretext.
Great Britain is out to cripple Ger
many and demands our last dredees

Noske, repudiated the German gov
ernment's responsibility for the sink
ing of the warships in Scapa Flow and
accused the British government of
publishing misleading and faxed ex-
tracts Of the letter Of Rear Admiral

Will NOT SIGN SAYS
GERMAN WAR MINISTER
Throws Down Challenge to Allies and
Says Let Them Occupy Country
If They Like
MAKES CHARGE OF DECEIT
Declares British and French Govern
ments are Doing Everything in
Their Power to Crush Germany

Berlin, Dec. s7.-(By the Associated
Press. )-Gustav Noske, minister of
defense, is determined not to sign the
peace protocol handed Germany by the
Entente, and is resolved to recommend
that the government adopt his attitude
come what may, according to an inter-
view with Noske printed today.
~ can not speak for the whole gov
ernment because it has not yet come
to decison," said Noske "but I shall
recommend a refusal to sign the peace
treaty protocol.
Says Limit Has Come
"The limit has long been reached.
Let the Allies occupy the country #
they like. The peace now presented %
us is not peace but prolongation of
the war. .....
"Were such treaty accepted the
German nation would rise up and
avenge itself upon the men who signed
it, and it would be right. Great Brit
ain and France are deliberately plan
ming the destruction of Germany. An

Deceit and rrickery."
"By deceit and trickery the British
and French governments are working
up opinion in their countries to Grip
pie Germany still further beyond the
crushing effect of the first treaty. We
have yielded too often and now must
resist. Let the Allies do what they
please"
Asked whether he would resign if
the remainder Of the government de-
cided to accept the Allied terms. Noske
replied that he could not say what he
would do week hence, but that his
present position had been deliberately
adopted and was unalterable.

TURKS WAR DEBT
LIKE "SHOE STRING"

Constantinople, Nov. 10 (By the AS
sociated Press. 1.-The war debt of the
Ottoman empire is said by experts to
have increased less than that Of any
other nation. Her bonded indebted
ness was increased by only one loan
of about S80,0O0,000, and adding to
this other increases in obligations
such as home military acquisitions
and advances from Austria and Ger
many, her war expenses ran to only
$600,000,000. Consequently, allowing
for various offsets, her postwar in
debtedness amounts to about $1,000,-

United States with $25 5000, 100000 and
Italy with possibly $15,000,000,000. 1t
will be recalled that on paper the Of
toman empire modified nearly 4,000,-
900 men yet she escaped with some
thing like the war expenses of coun-
try like little Rumania or Bulgaria.

$680,00O,O0O but this, according to the
experts, cannot be considered gov

It is not a financial burden as it
bears no interest, an dalso the proper

ference can at will have it cancelled.

In old days great capitalistic inter-
