twenty have si9nified their de-

for her and see which can pro-

At the Sphinx county purebred
pig sale, twenty-one boys entered
one hundred and twenty-six pigs

seventy dollars and fifty cents
for each. One boy received

PeRsHINe ISSUES ORDERS TO GERMANS

Rules governing the conduct
of German residents within the
occupied territory have recently
been issued by General Pershine
with instructions that strict
obedience will be required. I'm
der these regulations the auth
critics will know the exact
whereabouts of each individual.
Each house must have tackled on
its door a list of the residents
and their nationality and occu-
patton. All weapons and munit-
ions must be surrendered and no
gatherings will be allowed ex-
cept court, schools and religious
gatherings. Below is a portion
of the new order:
"The sale or gift of alcoholic
drinks. except light wines and
and beer, is forbidden. Alcohol
for medical or industrial pur-
poses does not come within this
prohibition. The sale or gift of
light wines or beer is prohibited
except from II o'clock a. M, to
2 o'clock p. M, and from 5
o'clock p. m, to 9 o'clock p. m.
Mail is subject to censorship
by the American military auth
critics. The use of the telegraph
and long distance telephone is
forbidden except by permission
from the local military command
er. The use of aerial wireless
apparatus is forbidden. No per-
son may, without authority from
the local military commander,
transmit any message or COM
implication to any person out
side the territory occupied by
American troops except through
the postoffice.
"The use of carrier pigeons is
forbidden.
THE taking of photographs
outdoors except by permission
from the local authorities, is for
bidden."

State Auditor Handlin has
created considerable feeling in
the state department, at least, so
far as his comments in his an.
nual report regarding state con-
ditions are concerned. The audi
tor suggests a means of saving
money by changing the number
plate law, stating that the state
paid % cents pair for these,
when as a matter of fact the
state paid, and the auditors Of
flee drew the warrant, at 2O.9
cents each, making a discrepancy
in the auditors comments of
$, 800 so far as figures are con-
cerned. The auditor also refers
to the brand commission, stating
that the fees are divided among
the members and when only two
are present, they take the funds.
This was the provision of the
old law as contained in the 1903
code; but evidently the auditor
overlooked chapter 246 of the
1915 law which amended this
provision and provides that when
a. member does not serve, his
share of the fees goes to the gen.
eral fund. As these two provis-
ions were about the only thing
the auditor commented on so far
| as state affairs are concerned, it
really put him in rather awk-
ward position to have his whole
report or letter of transmittal an
error on its face. The press of
the state generally has been TAX
ing the auditors letter of trans
initial as official; than, seemingly
it is most a joke which the secre-
tary of state naturally resents;
especially in view of the fact no
real recommendations were
made as to the auditing public
accounts. Mr.. Handlin may
have been good intentioned in
his effort; but he certainly fell
woefully in his manner of pro-
cedure by trying to cover SUBJ
ject which really did not come
under his supervisors Pierre

ANNUAL MEETING THIS MONTH

The Haakon County Farm
Bureau will hold its annual
meeting at Philip. The purpose
of this meeting is to elect officers
and directors for 1919, and to
make plans for the new years
work. 1t is impossible for the
county agent to do the work he
should unless he has an effective
and enthusiastic organization
back of him, that is familiar with
the problems in the var .ous parts
of the county. At the annual
meeting is the best opportunity
for the individual member to ex-
press his desires as to what
lines of work are taken up by
the Bureau for two reasons:
First-The general plan of the
years work is laid out at the an
nual meeting and each member
has the same power in determin-
ing it. Second-The board of
directors who look after the de-
tails Of the work during the year
are elected at this meeting and
each member should be interest
ed in choosing a suitable leader
for the work.
A good program is being work
ed out which will include a
speaker from Brookings, S. D.,
local speakers, music, etc. Watch
the papers for the date and pro
gram Of the meeting and begin
planning to be there to get ac-
quainted and add your bit to-
