will be completed in two weeks.
Captain Tardieu declares France
does not desire to annex the left bank
Of the Rhine, but only wants guaran-
tees which will prevent Germany from
using It as a base for attacking
France. The Russian question, he
added, will be considered late next
week.

declared that the Peace conference
would examine the status Of the port
Of Danzig early next week. 1t 10

Poland powerful state in order that

thing possible to insure Poland's rapid
development.

FATE FAvORS COMPANY A
Historian Discovers That Pierre
Company Has A Remarkable Re-
cord In Three Wars.

AS a good many fathers and
mothers and others know num-
Der of Haakon county boys enter
ed the war by way Of Company A
Of the National Guard organized at
Pierre. The first boys who left Phi
lip, Cottonwood, Midland and 9TH
er parts of the county were with
this company. 1t is scheduled to
return from France soon. Though
now part of the 147th Artillery
Company A itself is an old organ
ization.
Historians at Pierre have discov-
record. AS long ago as 1898 it
participated n the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and the company made
wonderful record in the Philippines,
returning home without single
man killed in battle. In the Mexi-
can outbreak Company A again
went to the front and returned
without a Pierre man being killed.
In the recent great war Company
A again went to the front with
over one hundred men from Pierre
and while the company was in the
thick of battle all last summer and
fall only one man from Pierre
was killed in action. There were
a good many outsiders or fill in
men who lost their lives, but old
Company A, which has always been
credited to Pierre, comes out of
the war with record of three
wars with only one man killed in
action. Some MET with accidental
death, but as an actual record we
doubt whether another company
anywhere in the country with the
service record of Company A of
South Dakota, can show as FORUM
ate q career.
1t would seem that the Pierre
company must have some mascot
of invisible nature that has protec-
ted the men from this vicinity in
such remarkable manner. While
number of our boys were wound
ed ip the 9nca .-lxirS 4.a-t>-..sa.i :
ern front in France, the company
will probably return in May with
nearly every man coming home. 1t
is something to be proud of and at
the same time something to be
wonderfully grateful for

STANLEY COUNTY

Money for Bridges Without
Authority of Law.

Indications are that our friends

last two or three weeks than they
have had in years before. Not on

our readers few items in connec-
tion with the subject of Bridges:
Total paid for bridges during
1917 and January 1918, $9,967.60
less amounts necessary to legally
complete contracts for said per-
iod, $3,19160. Total paid for brid-
ges and bridge work during 1917
without contract and without

DOCTORS BOOST FEES
Recent Meeting of Medical Men
Adopts a New Schedule of Fees
To Be Charged.

At recent meeting of the med
ical men of this district the fol-
lowing fee bill was adopted:
Office calls-S1.00 upward
House calls-$3.0O day; $500
night, 900 y. m. to 800 a. m.
Country calls-$1.00 per mile
from office to patient plus call
charge and transportation.
Contagious cases so per cent ad-
ditional.
Obstetrical- $500 for ordinary;
prolonged or complicated, extra.
Surgery-$10.00 to $4,000 min
or; $4,000 minimum for major.
Fractures and dislocatons-$1O $40
minimum for digits; $4,000 mini
mum for long bones; complicated
cases extra.
Nose and throat-$25 upward.
For treating patients over the
telephone a reasonable charge will
be made.
On all accounts running six
months or over 10 per cent will be
charged.
From which it appears that not
only the cost Of living but cost of
being sick and dying is steadily
going upwards. The doctors have
tilted the fec bill notch and you
might as we'll take your medicine.
That is the end Of it..
We have always felt that he is a
crusty old customer indeed who
begrudges the doctor his fee. Is
there anyone among us who is
more certainly entitled to the liv-
ing wage he gets. The doctor is
out in the night, while you and
are sleeping, plugging through the
snow drifts of these prairies,
bucking his way to the bedside of
some poor devil, dying, perhaps,
with influenza. Or it may be that
the medical man hurries on his
way to welcome some wee human
being into the world. It's all the
same-a part Of the nights stren-
uous work to the doctor. Many a
sis4c s~:.y:: s'sscs ssc ics ':ss az al; When
he does get one here in Haakon
county he is certainly entitled to
it.

GOSSIP AND CLEANINCS OF LOCAL INTEREST
- OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

in five years. Whether this be an
accurate count or not, we believe
the paper is steadily growing bet
ter.
On the 18th the electors of Mid
land vote upon the proposition of
issuing twenty thousand dollars
in bonds to construct water
works system. 1t is proposed to
sink a deep artesian well as the
source Of supply. If the PROPOSE
ton carries, it is planned to adver-
tise for bids upon the work at
once.
The Capitol-Journal- says a Pierre
housewife has registered with it
the following complaint:
Butter in Pierre is still seventy
cents pound. There are no small
children in my family so we shall
continue to eat nut butter substit-
ute. There was never pound OF
butter made that is worth seventy
cents and if every housewife would
refuse to buy butter at that price
it would soon come down"
Kicking of this sort riles the
fighting blood of the Pioneer. If
there is one thing that brings
prosperity to the struggling inhab-
itants of Western South Dakota it
is high-priced butter. The Lord
knows prices are high enough, but
we always manage to kick about
something that isn't South Dak-
ota product.

WILL CONTEST AT WINNER.

There will be local interest in the
contest near Winner, brought in
Judge Williamson's court, but fin
ally settled before trial. The will
was that of the late Frank Iams,
a most eccentric character, who
made Philip his headquarters for
time about ten years ago, buy
ing horsesin this community. By
the settlement Mrs. Ella Iams, his
wife with whom he had not lived
for a number of years when he
died October 81, 1918, gets one
third of the estate; of the remain
der 80 per cent goes to Helen Pick
ems, his stenographer, and 20 to
his mother. The original will pro-
viding that Mrs. Iams should get
third of the estate practically put
everything in the hands of Miss
Pickens, naming her administrat-
rix without bond.
Iams was diamond collector in
a way, and left three of these val
liable stones to his stenographer:
Other provisions of the will includ-
ed one providing for the construc-
tion of a mausoleum costing $1O,-
000; a monument near the mausO-
leum SO feet high on a base 20 feet
square, and surrounded by solid
granite statue of Iams, IL feet in
height and in the pose of selling
stations; and for statue of 1ams
astride a Percheron draft horse 81
feet high, the monument and the
two statutes to cost not less than
$4,000. If Mr.. Iams had not select
ed the site for this before his
death, this was left to Miss Pick
ems.

The people of this locality may
have an opportunity, if they wish,
to observe one Of the military
tanks that played such a large
part in winning the victory on the
Western front. 1t comes to Philip
under the direction of the Fifth
Victory loan committee, as an ad
vertisement for the loan, and will
be in Philip from about noon on
the 18th of April to the same hour
on the following day. A tank crew
from the army tank service, will
be in charge and it is planned to
burn up quite a bit of gasoline in
putting the thing through few
stunts. Forty gallons Of gas have
been laid by for that purpose.
When the history Of the war is
The pioneer. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1919-04-10

finally written, a larger place is
apt to be given to the tank, as an
engine of modern warfare, than
now appears. 1t is essentially an
American invention adopted from
the American caterpillar tractor,
but first applied and used by the
British in the war. They cleaned
out the machine gun nests most
effectively, and cleared the way for
the advancing infantry. Indeed
they were so effective, that they
were soon used by all the allies.
An attempt was made at the tank
by the German, but he never ach-
ieved much success with it. More
than any other weapon it remain
ed distinctively an idea of the
allies.

down the streets of Philip gener-
ously smeard with kalsomine, ala

country.
Though they have become vot-
ers, no women were called for ser
vice as jurors at the term of court
which convenes in Philip next

qualifications for jurors contains
the word male Whether the re-
cent legislature overlooked chang
ing this, or whether it is to be-
come the settled policy of the
state to exclude women from jury

former are apt to remind the next
legislature of the matter.
