HOW THE STATE SOLDIERS
HOME is RUN BY Ole FARR

When Farr took hold of the Home
as superintendent he made up his
mind that all of Col. Orr's officers
would have to be dismissed. The first
one to be fired was Billie Dean, head
engineer and electrician. The next
one to go was the quartermaster, and
a young man by the name of Havens
from Pierre was appointed in his
place. He then notified Adjutantl
Evans that he would have to quit.
Evans sent in his resignation, but,
unfortunately for Farr, the Grand
Army met in Hot Springs about that
time and they took it up and made
it so hot for Ole .Farr that he noti-
fled Evans that he could stay. He
was afraid TO attack Surgeon Wilcox
for he had too many friends in the
Home. The next to walk the plank
were Comrades Glass and Wells, who
run the barber shop and sold cigars,
tobacco and candies. He compelled
them to sell their chairs and fixtures
at a sacrifice and put in young man
as barber / don't know where he
came from, but / suppose from
Pierre.
If the soldiers at the state Home
could have vote on the question OF
whether Farr was to continue as
superintendent or go, Farr would
get about three to five votes out of
hundred soldiers in the Home; and
if there was vote on whether Mary
Farr was to continue as matron, she
would get but one vote and that
would be Cucumber" the postmas-
| ter, who is a pet of the Farrs. Now,
/ have a suggestion TO make to the
managers of the Home, and that Is
| to appoint Adjutant Evans as super
| intendent and DR.. Wilcox as surgeon
Evans knows more about running tho
home than any man in South Dakota
and Surgeon Wilcox can handle the
hospital work better than any doctor
| in the state. He has made study
/ of their diseases for years and has
been very capable, and Mrs. Wilco,
! as matron and hospital steward is {
| success.
Now, in conclusion, / want to ash
the managers why they keep Farr II
the Home as superintendent? Hi
time was up last meeting of thu
board, but they failed to elect man
but let him hold over. They NEE
/ this coming week and If they fail Il
act / will write another letter TO m.
Comrades in South Dakota, giving th
reason they keep him.
AS the Home is run now Super
intendent, Mrs. Mary Farr; assistant
ole Farr; adjutant, Mrs. Farr; assist
ant, w. B. Evans; quartermastei
Mrs. Farr; assistant, G. L. Havens
She would like to have it DR.. M. \

{ to have it so, for there would hay

WOMAN CHARGED
With FORGERY
AN ABERDEEN WOMAN ARREST.
ED ON AFFIDAVIT
OF son

Aberdeen, Sept. 30.-An unusual
case developed here when Mrs. Louise
Myers, of 200 Third avenue, was ar
rested on an alleged forgery charge
and held under bond of 1000 for
preliminary hearing.
Following her arrest she vigorous
ly protested her innocence. A $40
check, made payable to Mrs. A. Hoff-
man and purporting to have been
signed by L. J. Nicholas, of Plana, is
alleged to have been presented in a
downtown store by Adolph Tietz, son
of Mrs. Myers.
The son executed an affidavit, in
which he states that his mother in
duced him to sign Mrs Hoffman
name on the back of the check and
take it to a store TO have it cashed
1t is charged that the check was
first presented at the oGlden Rule
store, where it was not honored
Later it is said to have been taken tC
a clothing store, where the boy pur-
chased a pair of gloves and presented
the Hoffman check for payment, re.
ceiving the difference between the
amount of his purchase and the
amount of the check in cash.
Mrs. Hoffman told the officers thar
she had never had the check in hel
possession. How ii fell into the hand:
of Mrs. Myers is mystery. The au
thorities now are striving to ascertain
how the check intended for Mrs. Hoff
man came into the possession of Mrs
Myers.

Duck Hunting
From Airplane

Sioux City, Ia, Sept. 30.-Duck
innovation among hunters in this
part of the country. Roy Warfield.
of the Sioux City flying school, is
dreaming dreams of the large num-
Der of birds he expects to bag this
fall while floating leisurely from
flock to flock in his airplane
His dream is the result of an ex-
perience he underwent Saturday
morning. Noticing a large flock of
birds circling over McCook lake, he
obtained shot gun, mounted to the
passenger seat of one of the schools
planes behind Marshall Calender and
was waited to the heights in a mo-
ment.
Upon arriving over McCook lake
the birds were found to be herons
They were flying in large flocks and
were easy prey to the repeated out
bursts from the firearm. The feath-
giant bird flying beside them which
spouted and made noise like thun-
der.
Mr.. Warfield states that ii requires
great care when flying among birds
to prevent them from striking the
propeller. One bird caught in the
propeller would splinter it into BIZ,
and would mean instant death fol
the occupants of the plane. Never
theless, duck hunting by means o.
airplane will be intensely thrilling
Mr.. Warfield states.

McAdOO, Palmer and
Cox Are FavOrites

Washington, ID. c.. Sept. 30.-Pol-
iticians in touch with the democratic
national executive committee confer
ence which adjourned at Atlantic
City Saturday, say that McAdoo, Pal
mer and Governor Cox are the men
who were being chiefly urged for the
1920 presidential nomination.
Of course, it is recognized that
President Wilson can have the NOM
ination if he wants it. Otherwise the
candidates named will play a very
important part, so work is on in be-
half of each. Bernard M. Baruch is
credited with taking leading part
in the McAdoo movement.

Leads to Shooting

WATERFOWL, Sept. 30.-Lyle Brey-

and perhaps fatally wounded by Fred
Portwood on a street in Vienna Sun
day night. The bullet entered just
below the heart and penetrated the
stomach, inflicting wounds which
physicians say may prove fatal.
The trouble between the two is
said to have resulted from an argu-
ment over a young lady friend OF
Breyfogle. A short time after the
shooting Portwood was placed under
arrest. Breyfogle's home is said to
be at Manchester, Ia, while Port.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash poisons and toxins from system before putting food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness. while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste is not eIimina ted day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishn1ent.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day a glass of hot water with a teaspoonfui of limestone phosphate in if, which is a harmless way to wash these poi sons from the stomach, liver, kidney and bowels; thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and ~freshening the alimentary canal before eating more food
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store. but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside bathing
