fight tuberculosis, is selling a
health bond as well as the fa-
miliar Red Cross Christmas

FEED STARVING SHEEP

A trainload of ten cars Of
sheep, originally started from
Faith on the Milwaukee line,
shipped around by Mobridge and
Aberdeen, arrived here today in
a starving condition. The ami
mails were actually eating the
wool off of each others backs and
no feed had been available along
the line. About twenty-five of
them were dead and some died
after being unloaded in the yards
here. The railroad company got
120 bales of hay from Max Kehr
and this gave the animals a good
feed, SO that they were reload
cd and shipped on a special
freight for Fruitdale. Fruitdale
and Faith are but a very short
distance apart, less than one
hundred miles, but the sheep will
have travelled five or six hundred
miles getting there. Those who
fed the animals say it was q
sight to see them make way with
the feed. The owners were with
the shipment and had two collie
dogs which were remarkably
well trained, in fact all hands
sheep here say they never saw
such dogs before. Pierre Capi,

WILL ORGANIZE
LEGION POST

All over the country Ameri-
can Legion posts have been or
ganized. Nearly a hundred posts
are already started in South
Dakota. Ex-service men who
were in the army and navy, or
marines, are going to organize
in Philip. One of the head men
of the American Legion post at
Pierre will come out to Philip to
assist in forming the organiza-
tion. Any man who has been
in service either in this country
or overseas, in the army, navy or
marines may become member
of the post which is now being
started at Philip. Five or ten
years from now the members
whose names were on the char
ter roll may well be proud of
their membership.
Elsewhere in this issue is a
blank to be filled out by those
who have been inthe service.
The first meeting of the new
organization will be held in Jan
uary and at this meeting will be
decided the name of the post. Of
ficers will be elected and applica-
tion made to the state organiza-
tion for a charter. On this char
ter the names Of those who have
applied for membership will be
inscribed.

ARTICLE TEN

In a recent issue Of the Re-
view we commented on the de-
feat of the peace treaty and lea
que Of nations, stating that Ar
ticle Ten was particularly OBJ
noxious to the opponents of the
league as it stood. Postmaster
H. j. Mcmahon took particular
offense at the use of the word
obnoxious, and demanded that
we publish Article Ten, SO here
it is:
The members of the League
undertake to respect and pres
erve as against external aggres-
sion the territorial integrity
and existing political lndepen-
dence of all members Of the Lea
que. In case Of any such aggres-
sion or in case of any threat or
danger of such aggression, the
Council shall advise upon the
means by which this obligation
shall be fulfilled
Now the senate of the United
States proceeded to interpret
that Article, SO that it might be.
understood, and our obligations
set forth clearly, in the follow
ing paragraph: "The United
States assumes no obligation to
preserve the territorial integ-
rity or political independence of
any other country or to interfere
in controversies between nations
whether members Of the Lea
que or not--under the provisions
of Article 10, or to employ the
military or naval forces of the
United States under any article
of the Treaty for any purpose,
unless in any particular case,
the Congress, which, under the
Constitution, has the sole power
to declare war or authorize the
employment Of the military or
naval forces Of the United States
shall by act or joint resolution

FACTS ABOUT
TUBERCULOSIS.

Tuberculosis causes the death
Eof one person every three minut-
es. Among the $50, 900 persons
who are killed by tuberculosis
in the United States every year
are more than $4,000 children,
under five years Of age. Tuber-
Iculosis is q preventable disease.
Therefore it is our duty to pro-
tect children from this great
plague.
One Of the aims Of the Nation-
|al Association is To reveal and
treat especially the incipient
cases, and III this way save the
lives Of many children a. we'll
as adults.
II is in this noble work which
is financed chiefly by the sale of
Red Cross Christmas Eeals, That
your cooperation is asked.

COUNTY CONVEN-
TIONS TUESDAY

Tuesday of the coming week
is the date set by the new pri-
mary law for the meeting of the
proposalmen of the county in
convention for the purpose of
nominating the county tickets.
The republican and democratic
conventions will convene in this
city at IL o'clock that day.
Interest in the Forthcoming
conventions does not seem to be
very keen. On neither side is
there any evidence of much more
than commonplace proceedings.
In the republican ranks A. l.. An
derson, auditor, C. M. Lloyd.
treasurer, A. S. Anderson, clerk
of courts, E. S. Golf, register of
deeds, HI. L. Brown, states attor-
ney, and 0. X. Whitney, coun-
ty judge, will all be candidates
for second terms, and within the
party no opposition to their
wishes seem to be evident. Up
to date no contender for the
party nomination for sheriff
has appeared. For superinten-
dent of schools it is understood
that the ram Of MH. Jennie L.
O'Neal, for four years in that
position. will come before the
convention.
In the democratic ranks Frank
Slocum, sheriff, and Miss Nina
Duryea, superintendent of
schools, will both ask for nomina-
tion for the second, term. There
is no evidence of any opposition
to them. Aside from these Off
ces, it is not known just how far
the convention will go. Last year
a full ticket was in the fed, and
there may be an effort to :;ll it
up again, but careful inquiry
fails to bring out just what the
plans are.
For Legislative offices it is un-
derstood that Elcar Watwood,
state senator, anj Chas. Robert
son, representative, will both be
candidates to succeed them
selves. As they are both in the
democratic camp, their names
will probably be the only ones
appearing an that ticket at the
primaries. The republicans seem
to be up in the air on legislative
candidates. Magnus Easthouse,
Of Kadoka, has been suggested
for state senator, and Ray Walk
er, of Fort Pierre, for represen-
tative, but no petitions have ap-
peared in the field. Under the
law nominating petitions for
Legislative Offices must be filed
with the secretary of state ~
January 1st, and il there is 90
ing to be any opposition to our
friends, the democrats, for these
places, it is time someone cot
busy. From several points ii
the county the suggestion com.
es that Mrs. r. L. Cheney, 81
Milesville, should be drafted ana
given the republican nomination
for state senator. That she nos.
sesses exceptional qualifications
for the Office is the general obi.
MON. Jerry Jarman, of Nowlin
and r. w. Foster, OF Lucernf
are mentioned for representa-.
tive on the republican ticket
Either would prove able rerres.

not saying that the other play

they had not, the forwards
would not have possessed the
