that soldiers who were wise to the
change were able to follow after
the advancing troops and pull
them back into the trenches by
their coat tails. After this un-
fortunate miscue there was a good
deal of talk among the soldiers
that smelled like sulphur, and can
not be printed. However, every
one soon settled down to wait a
week for zero hour. The tanks un-
expectedly arrived in the vicinity
ahead of time. They had plenty
Of gasoline aboard and their driv-
ers were eager for the attack. So
the general in command hastily
ordered the battle to begin. This
unexpected move caught some of
our troops shaving and wholly un-
prepared for battle. One soldier,
partially disrobed, was sewing a
patch on his only pair Of trousers.
Other incidents of like nature
could have been noted along the
line. So zero hour was not the
greatest success planned"

SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM MUCH ENLARGED
City Council to Put in Ten Blocks
of Cement Walks This Year.

The city council has had fre-

struction in the city Of Philip
during the coming summer Fin

upon, much enlarged and extend
ed over what we indicated last
week. Altogether, it is proposed
to construct about ten blocks of
sidewalks and cross walks. d. w.
Coyner has been employed to con-
struct such work as the city finds
it necessary to have put in on it's
part.
In another column of the Pio-
neer appears an ordinance desig-
mating the walks to be construct
ed and providing the specifications
therefor. We suggest that pro-
perty owners and others interest
ed clip this ordinance and preserve
it for reference hereafter. Occu-
pants and owners of lots abutting
upon proposed walks are given un-
til June 1st next within which time
to construct their walks. After
that time the walks may be con-

The guess that South Dakota

not many women voted in Philip

has been held during the history
of the town. In other cities where
there were contests, the women
voted in force. More than two
thousand women voted at the city

in Rapid City. At Kadoka where a
quiet election was held, fifty four

THE ZERO HOUR POSTPONED
Minneapolis Headquarters Change
Plans Faster Than Local Chair
man can Make Them Known.

The chairman of the ninth dis
trict liberty loan drive has kept
E. F. Walden, the local chairman,
jumping forward, backwards, and
sidewise during the past ten days.
The tank which was to come here
for an advertisement for the loan
was first announced for last week.
The first date, however, was can
celled by Minneapolis headquart-
ers and the tank advertised for
the 24th. Mr.. Walden hastily cir
culated dodgers and announced the
change of date. Not in time, how
ever, to keep a good many people
from coming to town on the date
first fixed. But a third time came
telegram changing the date,
this time advancing it to the 22nd.
Again dodgers were circulated,
and the change advertised.
1t is a mighty good thing that
those Minneapolis fellows didn t
have the management of General
Pershing's campaign on the west
ern front. If they had been in
command, the account of a battle
would run something like this:
Zero hour was set for Thurs
day at four o'clock in the morning,
and the tanks ordered to advance
and clear the wire entanglements
for the infantry. For some unex-
planned reason, however, the tanks
did not arrive. So the date was
postponed one week. Dodgers were
circulated among the troops an
nouncing the change in plan. Some
of them must have failed to re-
ceive the dodger, or rnistook it for
a laundry list. Anyway they went
over the top at the scheduled hour.

Gentlemen:
We have your letter of the 21st
inst. relative to the results we are
having with Sal-Tonik among our
farmers here.
Our sales are very satisfactory
and we believe we will double tour
sales of last year. We sold farm
er ten blocks last week who had
never bought before, but has seen
the results of the using of Sal
Tonik by his neighbors.
We have sold Mr.. John Schie-
felbein Sal-Tonik five times and he
has had excellent results. He buys
and sells stock, mostly hogs. A
short time since he got hold Of a
bunch of. shoats that were rum
down and in poor condition. He
crushed some of the Sal-Tonik and
got two or three. good feeds into
them with ground feed and said it
was wonderful how they picked up
in the short time he had them.
The same is true of Mr.. Her
man. Sterling living near here. He
bought bunch of pigs. They were
anything but healthy lot. He
crushed some Of the Sal-Tonik and
fed the pigs, forcing them to it,
as they were so rundown they
would not eat anything. He said
the yard was Utterly covered with
white worms after the feeding of
Sal-Tonic. He said that they soon
began to pick up and in ninety
days gained an average of 120 lbs.
per head.
We sold Mr.. Ed. Tower north of
here three blocks of Sal -Tonik Sat-
urday. His hogs were wormy and
he was telling us how he cleaned
up his hogs and got them going.
Said he crushed some Of the Sal
Tonik and after starving them for
twenty-four hours mixed the DOW
dered Sal-Tonik with some oats,
dampening the same that the Sal
Tonik would stick to the oats and
the hog got it all. He gave about
small handful of the SAL -T0nik
to the hog and gave two or three
doses and said his yard was strew-
ed with worms after about forty
eight hours.

there are few fights. This may re-
