Post of American Legion to
be Organized in Haakon County

Last week the national organic
tion of the American Legion was
effected at ~. Louis. This is to
be made up II our soldiers in the
great MAR, officers and privates.
Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roos-
welt has been active in launching
the organization, but declined the
presidencyof the Legion. The or
ganization will be non-political in
character, and will be to our mil
lions of young soldiers what the
Grand Army Of the Republic, the
so-called G. A. r. has been to the
northern soldiers of the civil war.
Although an announcement of
plans and details carnot be made,
a movement is already under way
to organize post Of the Legion
in Haakon county, and under it is
hoped that all the soldiers in the
county, no matter what may have
been the character or extent of
their services, may become men,
bers. 1t is likely the post may be
named after one of our heroes who
fell in France during the war. It
is expected that detailed announc-
ments can be made in few weeks.
The first post Of the Legion in
the state has already been organ
lied at Vermilion. 1t will be
known as Wallace Post No. / of
the American Legion, in honor Of
a Clay county soldier who was kill
ed in the fighting on the western

HAY HARVEST
ON IN HAAKON COUNTY

A good many of our readers are
beginning to realize that the alfa-
lfa hay crop is almost upon them
in this locality. With continued
warm dry weather the mowers will
be running in most parts of the
county within ten days.
The hay crop will evidently be
abundant this year, as the crop
has seldom looked. SO well during
the closing week of May in spite
of the fact that it has been some
what retarded by the late spring.
We have made inquiry of the
state college of agriculture at
Brookings concerning alfalfa, and
it's specialist offers the following
suggestions which we pass on to
our readers:
Cut alfalfa for hay when buds
or growth of second crop begins
to show crowns of plants. Be care
full not to cut down too much at a
time. The amount Of course is a
matter of management and de-
pends on help and teams available
for putting it up.
In dry weather, hay is usually
dry enough to rake up shortly af-
ter moving. Here the main con-
sideration is to get the hay into
the stack or NOW with as little
handling as possible. Side deliv.
|ery rakes and buckets are used "a

PAY YOUR OCCUPATION TAX.

A number of Philip people are
jogging along blissfully uncon-
scious that they will have to pay
an occupation tax under the new
revenue law now in force. Their
serene calm is likely to be disturb
ed one of these days. Because it is
not very easy to pass an occupa-
tion tax by. Liability for this sort
of a tax is not determined by
schedule returned to an income
tax collector; it is apt to be blaz>
oned forth in a painted sign one
puts on his window or door.
Persons whose occupations are
subject to an annual tax under the
revenue act were reminded by the
bureau of internal revenue that, if
payment of tn tax is not made by
May 81, they will become liable to-
the penalties provided in the law.
Those subject to the tax include
stock brokers, pawn brokers, ship
brokers, customs house brokers,
proprietors of theaters, museums
and concert halls; proprietors Of
public exhibitions, exclusive Of
those held under til auspices Of re-
ligious-eEeh ai4sll b le organizations,
proprietors of bowling alleys, rid
ing academies and shooting CALLER
ies, and all persons operting auto-
mobiles for hire. Z y

er their humiliation and sneak a.
round to sweethearts receiving let
ters regular in order to get news
of their sons. This has happened
right here in Philip. Put along
side this the experience of a moth
er at Cottonwood who stood on the
ailroad platform all night long
waiting for her boy to come home
to her from France, only to be in
formed when the train arrived
that the beloved boy had stopped
off in Sioux City to see his girl.
Verify war is all that Sherman
said it was.
The Times has published several
articles and has one this week for
the committee who are trying to
raise half a million dollars with
which to build a memorial hall at
Pierre. The plan is to raise this
amount by popula subscription,
and the amount will average about
q dollar for each person in the
state. We haven't heard who will
have charge of raising the fund in
this county but suppose it will be
handled the same as all war acti-
vities someone in Kadoka
at the head to get whatever glory
there may be out of it and the
people in the rest of the county
have nothing to do but dig up.
The proposition is not getting a
very warm reception throughout
the state, lots of people thinking
they are donating a building to
Pierre instead of honoring the sol
diers and that is about the way it
strikes us.-Belvidere Times.

A big celebration was held Mon
day north of Wasta when the COM
missioners of Meade county were
assembled to fix the site Of the
new bridge across the Cheyenne
river. Wasta wanted the crossing
at particular spot, so Charlie
Hunt the live wire Of that town
had the band down from Rapid
City, put on barbecue, got to-
gether an enormous crowd and
naturally the crossing was put
where Wasta wanted it.

State Sheriff Active in West
ern Counties of the State.

Although the office of state sher.
iff was created ostensibly to aid in
the enforcement Of the prohibit
ion law it appears-thatsthe activi.
ties of this office are by no means
to be confined to this special phase
Of law enforcement. Cattle rust
lers are beginning to feel his
heavy hand.
1t especially fitting that cattle
and horse thieves in Haakon coun-
ty and other counties of western
South Dakota should receive the
attention of the state sheriff, for
this gentry quite generally oper-
ates through severak counties, SO
that it is hard forsaocal authori-
ties to follow the devious wind
ings of their trail. The. state sher-
iff has no such embarrassment.
The department has made ar
rests in one hundred different cas-
es since the first Of January, and
made 1874 arrests of law violators
from July l last year toJanuary /
this year. A lot Of time of the de-
partment is taken UP investigat-
ing complaints in all parts of the
state. 1t is much easier to file a
request for an investigation on a
charge than it is to get the evi-
dence which would warrant action
and many Investigations drag a.
long for some time before it is
certain as to whether action can
be taken or not, with anything to
back them.

How Philip Fed Them, or
the Romance of the Welcome
That Failed To Pan Out

When it became known Saturday
that the Haakon county members
of the 147th Field Artillery would
be home sometime that night, it
was at once decided to give them
welcome. The Red Cross got
busy and arranged to feed their
comrades who it supposed would
also be on the train westward
bound. Doughnuts were soon fry
ing in more than one Philip kitch-
en-; coffee, was steapinG and good
Red Cross money was being ex-
changed for oranges by the crate.
1t was first announced that the
boys would arrive at nine o'clock
then at three, and later at six. It
was certain at two o'clock in the
morning that the troop train
would be in at three o'clock. 1t is
impossible to convey any idea of
the tense excitement that grippd
everyone. One Red Cross official
entirely sober, fell off the sidewalk
and sustained injuries that later
came near putting him on crutch-
es. About five hundred people as
sembled at the depot and waited
for the train, letting off yells and
dynamite, or walked up and down
inhaling the fragrance of the
cooking coffee. The surgical dress
ing brigade Of the Red Cross, as
sembled in full regalia, to spread
the blessings of doughnuts and
hot coffee among the hungry sol
diers, never looked quite SO hand
some. The sparkle in every girls
eye might have told of a soldier all
her own, coming in on that train,
Then the train came. 1t stop
ped at the water tank, sneezed,
coughed a couple of times, and
and went on. Only Lead soldiers
were on the train, and they pass
the Girl and the Doughnut at
speed of about thirty miles an
hour. Then it was learned that
our own boys would not be in un-
til morning. Then everybody went
home sleepy but good natured. 1t
was the biggest hoax the town
had had since our fake peace cele-
brations.
The. surgical dressing brigade
went home also.
Anyway Philip had shown that
it's heart was in the right place.

Black and Yellow Trail
Meeting to be at Pierre

A big gathering of good roads
builders is being staged to come to
Pierre, on June 9Th. 1t is expect
ed that there will be strong de-
legation from every one of the
counties interested, Announcement
of the annual meeting of the
Black and Yellow Trail of South
Dakota on the above date were is
sued from the office Of Secretary
O. M. Phelps Of Huron, today. An
urgent call has been extended to
each board of County Commission
ers and each city and village thru
which the trail passes to be rep
resented by a big delegation. Many
automobile men and interested cit
liens have already signified their
intention Of attending.
We understand that the county
will be represented at this meet
ing by Superintendent of High
ways e. O. Roush and one of the
county commissioners. 1t is also
possible that the City of Philip
will be represented by the mayor,
Will R. Walpole, and one or more
members of the city council. We
comment the talk that both the
county and the city chould have
representation at this important
meeting. The Black and Yellow
Trail is our cheif highway con-
Meeting with the outside world;
the indications are that, now that
the war is over, the trail will be
travelled by tourists more this sum
mer than it has been for several
years; so we should not forget
that we are vitally interested in it.

advantage. Under wet and humid
weather conditions hay cut one
day is raked and cooked the next
day if possible. The cocks are
built high in proportion to their
dianeters. They are then capped
with canvas caps l-2 to 4 feet
square and allowed to cure until
dry enough to put in the barn
safely. If rain comes before the
hay is raked up, tedder is used
to loosen it up so it will dry.
If weather conditions are favor
able it is often profitable to let the
second crop 60 to seed. The seed
crop is cut with binder when
about two-thirds of the pods have
turned brown. The bundles are set
up in long shocks or in small
round shocks without caps. After
the bundles are dried out thoroly
the crop is threshed or hulled.
