shouted its approval again when he
added America is no gutter.

The president spoke at a public
dinner and his declarations were in

Causo-Not Party
AT Paris, Mr.. Wilson said, he had
acted as the spokesman Of American
! principles without regard to party.
When he came home he continued,
the people generally were in favor
OF the treaty just as it stood. Had
there been a vote then, only
negligible percentage of our people,
he declared, would have opposed IL.
But since that time, said the presi-
dent. something had happened 20
change that situation. Without at
! tempting TO analyze that movement.
he said he at least could be certain
that the strongest opposition had
grown up in these places where pro

stay out Of the league, the result
would be 10 Germany's advantage.

BIG YIELD OF ALFALFA
SEED AND HAY

Visitors to the Joe Pitlick
ranch near Oahe have brought
back enthusiastic reports of
Mr.. Pitlick's alfalfa crop. He
has a hundred and twenty-five
acres of some of the finest al
fila in the country, which he
figures will bring with hay and
seed crop, in the neighborhood of
500 per acre. Just across the
road from Mr.. Pitlick's field is
a stretch of prairie hay land,
the best of it's kind, which yields
approximately SIS per acre.
Comparing the two yields, it
doesn't take a Philadelphia law
yer to see how profitable an in
creased acreage Of alfalfa would
be to the Dakota farmer.

PRESIDENT WILSON
ON DOMESTIC QUESTIONS

President Wilson addressed
a joint session of congress Aug
ust 9Th, recommending drastic
changes along lines touching the
high cost of living, suggesting
that the food law be provided
with a substantial penalty for
profiteering and that cold
storage law be enacted modelled
after the law in New Jersey by
which time limit be placed on
cold storage He also recon-
mended that all goods released
from cold storage be marked
with the price prevailing when
they went into storage He
further recommended that goods
in interstate commerce be mar
ked with the prices at which
they left the producer. 1t
would serve as a useful example,
the president suggested, if con-
gress enact legislation to con-
troll the situation in the District
of Columbia where it has un-
limited authority.
Further, the president recon-
mended a federal licensing sys-
tenn for corporations engaged in
interstate commerce which
would embody regulations to in
sure competitive selling and
lin the method Of marketing. =
He also urged prompt passage of
the law pending to control Sc
curity issues.

I'VE now demand that it become

This can only be Accomplished
by extending to industry the

CANTON FAMILIES
FIGHTING BACK

BEAT the profiteer at his own
game" is the slogan adopted by
the people of Canton and steps
are now being taken there which
it is expected will reduce the
high cost of living and quickly
to time. The plan of campaign
at Canton is as follows:
A large number of families
have reached a definite and writ
ten agreement, and are proceed
ing to form an organization or
association through which the
necessities will be purchased at
wholesale cost directly from the
jobber, with freight added.
The plan is to assess each fam
lily which is a member $1.0O per
month, to be paid as salary to
one member of the association
who will do the managing, order
ing and distributing of the
goods.
At first several wholesale
dealers were timid about con-
tracing to furnish the goods,
but when it was shown that the
association would purchase, at
the lowest average, So, 900 worth
of merchandise each month, all
became anxious for the business.
AS compared with local retail
prices there, the members of the
association expect to save from
25 to 100 per cent on the neces-
lsities Of life. Indignation at
the excessive prices charged
there has reached q high pitch,
lit is declared, and the decision
| to form an association for di-
| rect purchase from the whole
salers is the result. Sioux Falls

THIEVES FIND A READY
MARKET FOR CARS

Des Moines, Ia.-Charley
Rain-in-the Face, and Pete
Eaglefeather are riding around
in White River reservation in
South Dakota, in inexpensive,
high-powered motor cars these
days. Charley and Pete and
their various squaws and pap
pooses are travelling to war
dances, gathering the winters
wood, and hauling the water in
machines, some of which million
aires would be proud to have In
their garages. Motor cars on
the White River reservation are
much more numerous than
quarts of firewater.
This was discovered by a state
agent from Attorney General
Havner's Office, when he followed
a casual cleW into the red mems
stronghold while seeking an
automobile stolen from an Iowa
farmer. His visit, Mr.. Havner
believes, will prove to have sol
we'd the mystery which has sur
rounded the disappearance Of
many western Iowa, Nebraska
and South Dakota automobiles.
Cars stolen in this territory by
the western Iowa gang now in
operation, have had the habit of
just dropping out of sight. An
unaccountably large proportion
of them never have been traced.
But none, up to now, had
thought of the White River res
ervation as a motor car market,
or of the festive redskin as q
ready purchaser.
The state agent reported to
Mr.. Havner that the reservation
is chock full of automobiles that
bear evidence of having been
disguised at some time in their
lives.
Before leaving the Indians,
this official found and seized q
tWelve-cylinder car that had
been stolen last February in
Omaha.

ADDED ATTRACTIONS
FOR COUNTY FAIR

We are glad indeed to note
the activity that is at present
manifested in all matters con.
nected with the county fair
which will be held here Septem.
ber 2, 8 and A. New matters OF
much interest are developing
right along. New attractions are
being added, and it is certain
that many novelties never be-
fore presented in this territory
may be seen this year.
Applications for rides in the
airplane are coming in right a.
long. Mrs. Blanche Anderson is
the first lady to apply, and she
will be taken up as passenger
on one of the first days.
The name of j. G. Holmes, ex-
tension livestock specialist, has
been added to that Of Profes-
sor G. Larsen as Judge of live
stock. Both gentlemen have
headquarters at the state col
lege at Brookings.
Through the activity of the
county farm bureau a tractor
show is being arranged. A num-
ber of dealers in popular trac-
tors have signified willingness
to send machines here for show
and demonstration purposes. A
tract of land has been secured
for plowing demonstrations and
contests. This feature should be
very attractive to the farmers
of the county.
Another demonstration that
will be most interesting will be
that of the Multiple Hitch, which
has been arranged for Sept. 8
and A. This is a hitch invented
by Prof. E. A. White Of Illinois
and is backed by the Percheron
Society of America. With this
hitch four, five, six or eight
horses can be worked on plow
without side draft, croWding or
heating, with perfect equaliza-
tion and with the use Of only
two lines in driving. The Per-
cheron society has put some of
these bitches in the state, and
the fair management is fortu-
nate in securing one for these
two days.

polls, will be one of the speakers
on Wednesday and Thursday.
He is an exceptionally good
talker and spends all his time
organizing and helping solve
community problems.
The fair is less than a month
away now. Of course, you are
going to join the crowds that
will be going to the fair grounds
on these eventful days.

Quoted on the benevolent plan
Last year this hospital had seven
hundred and ninety-eight cases
of sickness, twenty-five Of that
number only proving fatal,
which is wonderfully low
death rate. Those so in
clined can extend gifts to
the hospital in the way of
money, canned goods, delicacies
for the sick, thus helping a
most worthy departure, for it
is strictly a protestant concern
whose aim and desire is the
benefit of humanity.
Arrangements are completing
for a $50, 900 addition to the
present building, which will be
OF fire-proof material. Dencmi-
national bonds ranging from
$500 up, are to be shortly issued,
gi'sing every sized purse an OPP
portunity to buy a bond bearing
reasonable interest. Help a
good thing along. You or some
near friend may be sick ant!
helpless some day---no one can
foretell coming needs. Rev.
Case spent the week in Philip
soliciting funds for the hospital
and met with much success.

An Editor Goes to Church

VIII II. Maupln, All eQlLOT OF
York, Neb., went to church re-
Gently and this is the way he re-
ported the morning service:
The editor went to church re-
Gently. He often does. But on
this particular occasion he took
more than the usual notice. It
had been a strenuous week for
him. First he noticed that the
price of paper had shot skyward,
and the ink house informed him
of another price increase, and he
had to have some more plates,
and the linotype needed repairs,
a note was due at the bank, and
his deposit account was in red,
and the house rent was due and
the coal pile was frightfully low,
and the baby had been sick, and
the foreman thought he ought to
have an increase in wages, and
the stock of newsprint on hand
was mighty low. Otherwise
things were going fairly well,
SO the editor went to church.
"He Paid 1t All" was the first
song. And as it was being sung
the editor looked around thescon-
gregation and saw twenty-six
men singing with lusty voices
who owed him from one to three
years subscription of which
fact they had been notified three
or four times.
1--WE Shall Know Each Other
There" was the next soEg, and
as the congregation sang, the
editor saw men and women sing
ing who would not recognize
each other on the streets here.
He saw a husband and wife sing
ing who hadn't spoken a kind
word to each other since Heck
was a pup. If those people knew
each other there they'd better be
getting acquainted down here.
Il Love to Tell the Story" was
another song and the editor be-
ieyed that most of the singers
were sincere. If there is a little
story of scandal or gossip that
they don't love to tell, we never
heard of it. AS story tellers
most Of them have that famous
Arabian lady backed off the
boards and you'll remember she
had a thousand and one of them
tucked up her sleeve.
I'm Glad Salvation Is Free
was the next song, and the way
most Of the congregation sang
it was evident that they were
really glad. But when the con,
tribution box was passed they
gave additional proof, if any
were needed. With the belief
that salvation is free, what Was
the use of putting up any money
therefor. All foolishness to paJ
for something that is free, eh &
ssGod Be With You Till WI
Meet Again" was the closing
tune, and I am afraid most O
the singers are going to be aw
fully lonesome if they depend ol
that. We're all so busy trying
to get the best Of our "neighbor'
and when we act like that it's
cinch God isn't going to pa,
much attention.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader
It is not always easy to view
big public questions from seve-
ral different angles. One beco1n-
es interested in particular
trend Of thought and often fol
lows it out, without diverting to
twisting it around to see how
the other fellow feels about it.
But there appears to be one
very general suspicion in regard
to any discussion Of the high
cost of living. Most folks, high
or low, black or white, official or
private, seem to entertain q well
grounded idea that profiteering
is and has been most promi-
nent factor in the steady ascen-
sion of the prices Of SO many
things that people have to buy.
Those in position to know
make the assertion with show
of confidence that certain lines
of business are still reaping un-
just profits on their transac-
tions. Tales of specific instance
es where fortunes were made
during the war by taking advan-
tage Of situations where real
loyalty was required but greed
exhibited, are freely told today
in and out of Washington. Such
things reflect no credit on any
one concerned. Even the public
that permits them, is, to d GER
tain extent, culpable but the
public during the past few years
has been so extremely busy
first with winning the war and
then with becoming adjusted
to the rapidly expanding condi-
ton of the country iii its period
|of readjustment, that it has
seemed to find little real oppor-
tunity to delve into the living
Question.
In short, the living question
is speedily approaching q crisis.
One hears oninous threats that
unless something is done" there
will be an internal ruction,
sometimes called q revolution;
but the quiet observer does not
fail to notice that the very peo-
pie who are doing the most talk
ing about such an upheaval are
spending the most money need
lessly and making no effort to re-
trench on the simplest econom-
les. That does not forecast any
social upheavel. Then this very
fact, the utter disregard of So
many folks today for the cons
tant outlay of small expendi-
lures, is to many who profess to
study the subject, the underly-
ing cause of much Of the rising
prices. How often do you hear
any strenuous objection to pay
ing fancy prices for pleasures.
for enjoyable luxuries, or for
that matter, for q hundred and
lone different things that one
really does not need to have.
