convene in their third annual con-
vention called by the Woman's as
sociation of Commerce of the U. S.
A. at the Statler hotel, St-Louis,

In the past women have not been
considered producers, but the war
has established the fact that they
are, and now more than ever be-
fore are women of this country de-
termined that their contributions
shall be measured by adequate
standards. These women are COM
ing together to analyZe their suc-
cesses and their failures and find
out the why in each instance, in
order that they may in the future
get more direct action upon their
problems, that they may make bet
ter adjustments in their own work
and meet all the essentials of sue
cess.
The woman's association OF
Commerce of the U. S. A. represents
the pioneer movement among bust
ness women in America in the par
ticular work of advancing women
in the business and professional
world. This organization is a fed
Grafton of business and professional
women's clubs, started in Chicago
over seven years ago and it has
now reached into every state in the
United States and every state is to
be represented at this convention
At this convention women will
look into the possibilities of foreign
trade and what opportunities are
offered for them in that new field,
which is now attracting the atten-
ton of American manufacturers.

Do Not Place Old ". S. S. on New
Certificates,

The postoffice department has
isued warning to purchasers of
war savings stamps not to place
1918 war savings stamps on 1919
certificates and not to place 1919
war savings stamps on 1918 certi-
ficates. Persons making such a
mistake will lose the increased
value of the stamps which would
have accrued if they had been plac-
ed on the proper certificate.
The space provided for stamps on
the 1919 certificates are entirely
too small for the big war savings
stamps of 1918. and the change of
color to a blue on the, new certifi-
cate will also help to keep patrons
from making the mistake.
The 25-cent thrift stamps, on the
other hand, are subject to a differ
ent treatment. The new thrift
stamps of blue may be used on an
untitled thrift stamp card Of the old
issue ard when the card is filled it
will be exchanged for q war savings
stamp on the same basis as though
the thrift stamps were all purchas-
ed this year.

MiIbank Cooperative Creamery

A notice of a meeting of the
stockholders Of the Grant County
Cooperative Creamery Association
for Saturday, January 25, is pub
lished IN another column. The
Milbank Cooperative Creamery
was at one time one of the
important and prosperous institu-
tions of this community, and was
generally recognized as one Of the
most successful creameries in the
state, but for number of years
this can not be said Of it. This is
not as it should be, and the whole
community is a sufferer thereby.
The fact is that there is probably
more cream being shipped out on
the railroad than ls being taken in
at the crea merry. SO that the failure
of the creamery to make success
of its business is not because of
lack of cream in the country. It
is up to the management Of this in.
stitution, not only for the financial
benefit of the stockholder and pat
rons Of the institution, but also for
the general business reputation Of
the community to get at the cause
for this failure and apply remedy.
The creamery building ana machin-
cry isanow being overhauled and
replaced with new material and ac-
commodations and the institution
should be made such that it will
appeal to the dairymen Of the COM
munity as profitable market for
their cream.

As President he awoke the ma
tion to the dangers of private con-
troll which lurked in our financial
and industrial systems. It was by
thus arresting the attention and
stimulating the purpose of the
country that he opened the way for
subsequent necessary and beneficent
reforms.
His private life was characterize
ed by simplicity. a virtue and an
affection worthy of all admiration
and emulation by the people of
America.
In testimony Of the respect in
which his memory is held by the
government and people of the
United States, l do hereby direct
that the flags Of the White House
and the several departmental build
ings be displayed at half staff for
period of thirty days and that

under orders of the Secretaries of

The Flu
Prospect Of Lid Being Lifted In About
a Week.

At consultation last Tuesday
OF members of the county and
city health boards, the influenza
situation and the prospect for
taking Off some Of the restrlc-
tions that have commenced to
feel burdensome to the several
communities was discussed.
While there are constantly a
number of new cases breaking
out, the means for handling these
and the better knowledge of how
to take care of them is such that
it is generally believed the cpl
demic can be safely taken care
of without the closing up of the
schools and churches and the
restrictions on business that has
been in force heretofore. The
county health board will proba-
bly, place the matter Of these re-
strictions more fully in the hands
of the local communities, so that
the lid may be lifted by them if
1T is deemed safe to Go SO
SO far as the city is concerned
!. it is believed that if conditions
do not get any worse the lid may
be lifted with safety in about a
week, and the probabilities are
that the schools will open a week
from next Monday and church
services may be held the pre-
ceding Sunday, and the picture
show will also be opened during
the week. The early closing or
der for stores will be lifted at
the same time. However, a
strict quarantine of all cases Of
the disease, and segregating Of
the sick ones will be maintained
and insisted upon This sys-
TEN in other communities has
proven the most effective means
Of preventing the spread OF the
disease
While the restrictive measures
o the boards of health and local
officials have been generally sub.
mitted to with good grace, it is
we'll to realize that they have
been serious handicap to busi-
ness generally, and in some IN
diyidual eases have caused ma

Some Fine Bred Pigs
You May see Them at the DurOC
Jersey Sale Next tuesday.

The progressive character of the
farmers of Grant county is shown
by the fact that for next week two
big fine bred live stock sales have
been advertised. This is something
new for farmers in this section, for
1t is not SO many years ago that
the interest of all farmers in this
region was centered almost entirely
on wheat and grain raising. How
ever, Tor a number of years past
the cow as cream producer, and
the hog as meat producer have
been gradually working their way
into the affections of a considerable
number of our Grant county farm
ers, and an increasing number Of
fine herds of well bred cows and
hogs are to be found on the farms
throughout the county, and the
live. progressive farmers are con-
stantly on the look out to improve
their herds in both these lines Of
live stock.
The two public sales to which we
have referred above are the Dur.
oc-Jersey sow and gilt sale of the
Mitchell Bros, which will be made
at the Manley feed barn in this
city, on next Tuesday afternoon,
Jan IA. and the Duroc Jersey sale
Of j. Hublou in the evening Of the
same day at the Hublou farm in
southwest part of town. Any one
interested in hog raising visit to
these sales will be well worth
while, and to the farmer who
wants to improve his herd fine
opportunity is offered to get some
choice pigs. Both Mitchell Bros.
and Hublou are generally acknow-
lodged to have some of the best
strains Of the Duroc- Jersey to be
found anywhere. The man who is
satisfied with scrub lives took on his
farm these days is not on the way
to success in his farming operations.

Proclamation

The crucifixion of Armenia is
the saddest story of race in hu-
man history. For thousand years
the Moslems have held these suffer-
ing people in bondage. Not mere
ly thousands. but hundreds of
thousands, Of them have been tor
tured to death in the most terrible
fashion by the Turks, with the ap-
proval, and. in some cases. the acc
tive support Of Germany. Yet,
through it all. the Armenians have
refused to be subjugated or to give
up their national ideals or Chris
tian religion.
just now, as a direct result of
the war which Germany forced on
to the world, and into which the
Armenians were dragged as the help
less victims of the Turks. they are
on the verge Of extinction through
complete starvation. Their one
hope for relief lies in America.
The amount of $20,000,000 ask
ed for at once from this great ma
tion will scarcely suffice, and South
Dakota's share of SITS. 5.579.81 is
none too. much. and it should be
freely subscribed.
Therefore, l, Peter Norbeck. gov
ernor Of South Dakota, do hereby
proclaim and set aside the period
Of january IL to the 18th, az q
week Of giving for Armenian and
Syrian relief, and call upon every
body in our prospectus young state
to give all they can possibly spare
for this important work.
