The federal geological survey
announces that the U. S. wont have
q speck of coal to mine in 81 years
from now, while the Alaska supply
will be gone in 80 years, and worse
yet Pennsylvania and adjoining
states will have to import it in so
years. Mighty lucky that we have
the big Missouri river to supply
us with electricity when the black
diamond is gone. The coal is cost
ly enough in Potter county, now,
and it don't look IS if it will ever
get any lower, if this story Of the
geological fellars Is 70 he believed,
not until we get cheaper trans
portation rates.

COUNTY HIGHWAYS

Ye Editor had the pleasure of
attending the meeting Of the Coun-
ty Commissioners at Gettysburg
Tuesday, when those interested
were given an opportunity to pres
ent their criticisms, or objections,
to the adoption of the proposed
County Highway System.
Several persons appeared, from
different parts of the county,
among them being Representative
Hinckley of Hoven, who led the
discussion as to the relative i'm.
portance Of the different high
ways. The map showing the pro-
posed system gave q ''trunk' road
thru the county in each direction,
which was traced with red ink,
while a large number of other
roads proposed to be established
were marked by blue ink.
The county auditor. Mr.. VIM. j.
Miles, speaking for the Board,
took the position that the Board
had nothing to do with the con-
struction Of the trunk or main
roads, as that was to be done by
the State. Mr.. Hinckley differed
with the Auditor in this view Of the
question, contending that the in
tention of the authors Of the law
was that the trunk roads should be
constructed first; by joint action
of the county and state authori.
ties, for the reason that such roads
were supposed to serve the greater
number Of people. !.

WHAT IS THE MEMORIAL TO BE I

The state committee is constant
ly besieged with this question. The
only answer possible at this time is
to repeat the statement of the col
ored poster, that the Huron con-
ference agreed that it should be
classic building, to be erected upon
the capitol grounds, for the use of
the veterans of the late war. It's
size, form and equipment depends
upon the sum contributed for its
erection and equipment. The con-
ference suggested half million
dollars. If that sum is realized a
building of massive proportions,
of most beautiful materials and
design can be provided, equipt
with every convenience for the
, comfort and recreation Of our men.
! To TIE cordlnit,5e to whom tlns
business has been entrusted it
seems certain that the people will
want to provide for just that sort
of a memorial and consequently
they are conducting the campaign
with that end in view. Such me-
mortal will have dignity and be
worthy of the cause it represents.
The campaign is to culminate with
q house to house canvass on May
2Sth all over the state and if this is
prosecuted with energy there is no
doubt that South Dakota will re-
ioice in the possession of one of
the finest specimens of American
architecture dedicated to the alen
who pledged all that man can give
to the cause of Freedom.

pet may receive warning before the
dog is taken on 4 second trip though
this cannot always be done and Is not

RED CROSS ASKED
TO KEEP WORKING
Refugee Problem in Europe
Much Greater Than
Anticipated.

Mrs. o. /. Woodley of the Depart
ment Of Development of the Potomac
division of the American Red Cross
and Miss Georgia Nevans of the Nurs-
ing Service department paid visit
to the Fairmont Chapter yesterday
afternoon. The object of the confer
ence was to acquaint the chapter with
the reconstruction period needs and
to urge that there be no let down in
the work.
Acknowledging that Red Cross work
ers were tired out" Mrs. Woodley
asked that they forget they we're tired
and stick to the work of aiding the ref
ugee until it is finished. ut isn't
charity" she affirmed 1t is real
duty. Reports from recently return
ed Red Cross workers have shown a
condition even worse than had been
heretofore stated, the greatest need be
ing for clothing. Facilities for max
ing up garments were also gone from
these regions which necessitated there
being made up before they were snt.
Mrs. Woody complimented the Fair
mont chapter members for the stu
Dendous amount of work they had done
during the war period and also said
she did not feel in the least uneasy
but that the Fairmont chapter would
come up to time in the reconstruction
period as we'll. The world she said.
has learned to depend on the Red
eros and it must not have that trust
betrayed.
Miss Nevsus who has been connect
ed with the nursing service told of
the uneasy times which this depart
ment had during the period when the
nurses were so urgently needed and
so scarce for fear they could not sup
ply the demand but in which they
had been successful. She also told OF
the demand for home nursing classes
to be established throughout the coun.
ry especially in rural districts which
demand, she said, had been created
through the epidemic Of influenza
which had swept the country when SO
many had been pressed into active
service without training whatsoever.
Mrs. James A. Meredith chairman
Of the local chapter introduced the
speakers to the audience and direct
ed symposium which followed the
address. There was good attend
ance of members including members
of auxiliaries.

Will Conduct a VigOr-

Yesterday afternoon in County
Chairman ]. Walter Barnes office a
conference OF the Marion County Coun,
Gil of Defense was held and districts
represented were Paw Paw, Winfield
Grant, Huntington and Fa!rmout. 1t
was planned to hold meetings in sew.
eral school houses throughout the

formation regarding the Armenian re.
lief fund campaign which will start
March $50 to get together the sum OF
little over $4,000 toward helping
the Arnenians and Syrians in q new

ed by several good speakers of their
own race. AT the Presbyterian church
Wednesday evening several hundred
Fairmonters heard something OF the
need OF Armenians and Syrians and
until the campaign is finished, much
information of varied sort will be civ.
en- the public, explaining just why this
county should do its share.
Already other states have finished
their campaign for this cause Penn
sylvania put over a very successful
campaign and other states began in
January to do their share.
There are four million Armenians
and syrians and out of this number at
least 100000 are orphans all over five
years of age. Children below this age
have all been wiped out of existence
through suffering and hardship which
they were too young to resist These PEG
pie were driven by the Turks into the
desert where many died. Since peace
they have had no chance to raise
crops or to do much toward restoring
a devastated land. A campaign some
thing on the order OF the seed corn
campaign which farmers here brought
to successful close last Saturday will
be started only on much larger scale.
Food, clothing and grain will all be
purchased with money donated for the
Armenians and Syrians.
FairmonFs allotment is $4,000; Fair
view, $3.50; Grant Town, $50; Bax,
ter, $3.50; Rivesville, $3.50; Manning
ton, $4,000; Lincoln and Paw Paw
