possess the soul.
Happiest are they who nave given
most freely and have received most
thankfully. Every Christmas season
proves it. Inc needs to visit but a
few homes to. know it.
Peace and goodwill! Strange words
to speak in a world torn by hate and
destruction! Yet not so strange. There
can be peace of the soul amid the
storm. The soul can have peace If the
fight Is for the right and to defend the
weak. And what can equal the good
will of him who gives his life that the
oppressed may be free and the suffer-
ing defended. "erGtaer love hath no
man that this"
Let there be a deep and abiding joy
in those homes whence have gone
strong young men to suffer and to
sacrifice for a brighter day. The
night nay be long and black. but no
evil spirit need be feared. 1.-THE bird
OF dawning singest all night long, He
foretells the glorious day by whose
broad light the love and sympathy Of
men and nations shall be seer estab-
lished on a sure foundation.
Envy those whose happiness IN
mingled with pain; those who have
given most; mothers and fathers who.
have given most; mothers and fathers
who have seen the star in the east and,
J have brought precious gifts.-H. e. a.

AGITATION TO DIVIDE
PENNINGTON COUNTY

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 11.-A county di-
vision contest is promised in Penning-
ton Of the county east of the Chey-
next campaign. Years ago that por-
ton of the county cas- of theh Chey-
enne river was known as Washington
county but in the county consolidation
scheme Of 20 years ago, this vas made
a part of Pennington county.
Now the east end residents want a
county of their own, and Rapid City
wants a new courthouse. The east
enders refuse to vote for a courthouse,
and the west end people have so far
refused to consent to a division.
Possibly the two elements may get
into a general agreement for division,
after which Pennington county can get
the new building it wants, n the
east end people will build their own
at Wasta or Wall, which
ever they select as the county capital.

TOWN WOULD DISPOSE
OF ITS LIGHT PLANT

Garretson, S. D., Dec. 12.-It looks as
II Garretson was, about through ope-
rating it's electro light plant as a mu-
nicipal enterprise. Ralph Gardner, who
has been superintendent of the plant
for some time, has made a proposition
to the city council to purchase the
plant from the city. and December "a
has been named as a special election
day when the voters will express them
selves at the polls for or against the
sale of the plant.
the amount of bonds solo at
the outset for the construction OF the
plant was too small, the plant has
never given the service it should have.
A new engine, costing $40, 900 is needed
at the present time and there appears
to be a strong sentiment in favor of
the sale of the plant by the city to it's
present superintendent.

PROPOSED ISSUE
Of BONDS FAILS
Sioux Falls Voters Take Little
Interest in Water and Sewer
age of Voters Low.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 1.-THE sec
ond attempt to have the voters Of
Sioux Falls approve a pond issue for
s625 900 for water and sewer improve
ments failed at the special election
yesterday. Though SO per cent of the
ballots were in favor of the bond issue
the election is invalid because the to-
tai number was less than a majority of
the votes cast in the last election for
mayor, as provided by law. When the
bond issue was first before the people
on September 9. it also failed for the
same reason. About "a per cent of
the voters at that time favored it.
