TAX EXEMTION AS AP-
Piled TO RETURNED MEN

The following appended arti-
Gle taken from the Watertown.
Daily News, may be of interest
and applicable, in many cases, to
the returned soldier boys of this
vicinity:
My attention has been
called to the fact that some OF
the returned soldiers and sailors
more particularly those who
have returned only recently, are
not altogether familiar with the
laws of South Dakota with re-
gard to the exemption of pro-
|perty from taxation during ones
time in service. ~
There are certain technical
features with regard to the law
which have precented it being
given the broad Interpretation
which | believe was intended by
the legislature. However it is
sufficiently broad to effect the
desired purpose in most instanc-
es. would suggest therefore
that every man who has been in
service, should before paying
any taxes file with the county
auditor on a blank to be provid-
ed by the county auditor a re-
quest for exemption from his
tax, which will be acted upon and
granted in every case possible
under the law.
In any case where q returned
soldier has paid any tax since
returning, through q misunder-
standing Of his rights, If petition
is filed with the county auditor.
steps will be Immediately taken
to secure the refund Of the a.
mount so paid. This law was en-
acted for the benefit Of the men
who were In military service and
there Is no reason why It should
not be taken advantage Of by
such men.
II the general public will make
IT q point to help in bringing
these provisions to the atten-
Ition Of all returned soldiers and
sailors, it win aid materially in
securing for ell these young men
the privilege Of exemption from
Taxation to which they are enti.
tied.

There was woe and wailing
and nashing of teeth when the
senate filibuster last spring held
up the big appropriation bills.
The closing days of the special
session passed the bills with a
saving of nearly one billion dol
lars, as compared with the a.
mounts carried by the bills at
the time they ran up against
the filibuster. A tidy saving for
the people, in these days when
thrift and saving is an unknown
quantity in all government de-
partments.

ONE STATE AND PEOPLE

sectionalism in South Dakota
There has been a certain fric
tion between residents of the
eastern and western portions OF
1.-THE. state that if one really fac.
ed it, would be found to be un-
necessary and due largely to lack
of understanding. It has been
argued, and sincerely so, that
the interests of the two sections
were SO widely different that
there was nothing mutual. The
Black Hills region, it was main
ltained, had largely mining inter-
ests somewhat identical with
parts of eastern Wyoming, and
being a mountainous region, its
people fell into the way of think
ing that they were out of har-
mony with the views mad inter-
ests of the agricultural districts
east of the Missouri river. The
Black Hills has never enjoyed a
big population and its density.
compared with eastern South
Dakota, is almost negligible. But
the Black Hills has something
that eastern South Dakota resi-
dents do not have and which
they enjoy and appreciate as
they take advantage of it. This
is scenery. 1t is rightly termed
the Fairgrounds of South Da-
kota" for God never made more
beautiful country than the rocks
and rills in that Richest One
Hundred Miles Square on
Earth And because the peo-
pie there have this beauty con-
stantly before them, they have
learned to love it and to express
their gratitude in warmth of
hospitality that has a wide re-
putation.
Then there is that vast section
between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills a countr, newer
than either the Hills or the east
ern part of the state, much mere
sparsely settled, widely diversi-
fed interests and susceptible of
wonderful development by ex-I
perienced farmers in the older
sections.
Only few years back this
region between the river and
the Hills was a great cattle sec
tion. Man had not grasped the
possibilities. Those who tried
and went through cycle of dry
years, never completed their ex-
pertinent and dragged them
selves elsewhere. But persever-
ance and intelligence proved a
different story. Those rolling
hillocks, believed so barren for
all but wild grasses, began to
bud and blossom like the rose,
under the dry farming methods
now so successful through the
west. Years of abundant, in
some cases most remarkable,
still low, there is room in plenty
the wonder is that the people Of
eastern South Dakota have not
commenced sooner to investigate
the possibilities and to make
their home in that section where
dairying, alfalfa, hogs, corn and
cattle have made the fortune of
many. There is ample opportu-
nifty today for a spirit Of coope-
Grafton between the people Of
eastern and western South Da-
kota that will prove that after
all we are residents OF one state,
our aims are to succeed and that
as the western section develops
and builds, the eastern section isl
bound to benefit III extended
trade and commerce. South Da-l
kota need have no imaginary
dividing line to limit its people
and suggest conflicting interests
that in reality are mutual Ar

NEW IDEA TO
 FIGHT HIGH
 LIVING COST

Hartford, Dec. 13.---The Salvage Bureau, Savings Division of the First Federal Reserve District, has new idea to fight the high cost of living It is being presented to the women in all Connecticut cities for their cOnsid- eratiOn.
 Bridgeport women are asked to strike now against the H. C. of L. by cleaning up their attics and cellars. closets, etc. and selling all of the junk Chey contain. It is a fact that taxes may be reduced and the cost of living lowered if thrift and salvage Is prac- tised.
 The Salvage bureau has proven thai money is thrown away when material that has salvage value is thrown away, Trash has a cash value. If the women of Bridgeport will go through their homes, room by room, not for getting the cellar and attic, and dis pose of all waste, they are creating new wealth.
 The men who buy old rags, paper, magazines, newspap pers, iron, steel brass and rubber will cooperate and have been enlisted by the govern rnent, giving Thrift and War Savings etamps to householders in exchange for salvage material when desired The following materials are all sal wage and will be bought by junk men: Scrap copper. brass, auto radiators, baitbitt, zine, lead, tin foil, pewter aluminium, tires, hose, rags, rope bones, bottles, and scrap Iron Of all grades.

NOTED AUTHORIZES AT UNITED
 FORUM

Because she is So for her delightful personality and clear logic, it is expected that the Forum. will see one of the largest gatherings of the season.
 Of all the women in public life in this country, Mrs. Kldare's career has been one of the most pictures que. In literary circles she is best known as the heroine of the autobio- graphy, My Mamie Rose,'' and the author of the play, "Rengeration.' D She has written a number of plays and books which have been Iauded by the press and pulpit throughout the country
 Mrs. Kildare made her first ap- pearance on the platform when at the age of two and a half years she recited at a church affair. Since then she has lost none of her charm nor lash of her satire have been respon- sible for the institution of more than one social and civic reform.
 When the United States entered the war Mrs. Kildare focused all her e1oquence and ability on patri- otic service. Recently she concluded a speaking campaign for the Food Administration which won the hearty praise of New York City Food Ad- ninistrator, Arthur Williams.

SISTERS ACT
 WINS FRENCH
 BOY EDUCATION

The bravery of Mile. Alice Rollet, a French nurse captured by the Ger mans at Senones during the out break of the war and afterwards given five decorations for admins tering to the sick and wounded AL lied soldiers of France taken pris- oners by the Germans, is about to be further rewarded. Yesterday the Knights of Colum bus prevailed upon the Immigration authorities to re- lease sixteen-years- Andre Rollet who was detained at Ellis Island, aI- though he was being brought to this country under the sponsorship of the "Casey" organization and the American Fund for French Wound ed.
 Andre, who became g. favorite with the nurses and soldiers of the A. F. F. at his home in ChaIigny Ie Mont, Lorraine, has been awarded a scholarship at St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Minn., through the efforts of two American nurses now located at the state hospital in that city. They are Miss Mary R. Clark and Miss Macgregor who heard the story of the bravery of the French women and decided to secure an education for the boy. With the Knights of Columbus they have both adopted him. When he arrived a week ago the authorities held him up and An dre spent three days in the detention pen before being released. He had a brother killed in the war and his sister yves decorated five times when the French government heard of her plucky work among the sick and wounded soldiers whom the Germans captured. She Is now stationed in military hospital in France and con- fded that her one ambition was to see her younger brother secure a good education. Through the coop eration of the two American women, the Knights and the faculty of St Thomas College a scholarship was awarded to the French boy.
 Andre is now speeding across the country to greet his two godmothers and prepare for his four yetlrs at college.

TEACHERS UNION
 AIMS TO INSTRUCT UNION LABOR
Hope to Develop New Type of Man To Lead
 Workers.

New York, Dec. 13-Education of labor union men, both leaders and rank and file, is one of the principal aims of the Associated Teachers Union, local Il of the American Fed eration of Teachers, which is just or ganiztng in the faculties of the col Ieges and schools of New York. The Teachers Federation is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
 Professor Herman Defrem, of Co., lumbia University, who is president of the Associated Teachers Union, says the union professors and school teachers are not going into the labor movement merely for what they can get out of it for themselves. Instead they plan to help their new associates in the Federation of Labor along the path of knowledge.
 They hope, by opening special night courses for labor leaders in economics. management and produc- ton problems and kindred subjects, to develop a new type of leader who will cooperate in managing indus tries instead of spending his time, as Professor Defrem says, "bickerfng with employers" Under auspices of the Teachers Union two other sets of classes will be instituted, evening y nomias and any other subjects which wage earners in general may desire to pursue; and day courses for men on strike, so that the time may not be wasted.
 The union teachers are in confer ence with the United Labor Educa- ton Committee on details. British universities some time ago embarked d upon a program of education design ed particularly for wage earners but the idea has not made much progress in this country.
 Higher wages for themselves, said Professor Defren, is only a second ary aim of the educators. eve need more money but our first two aims are the characterization of colleges and universities and the extension of the tenure of our office" Democratiza- ton, according to Professor Defrem means surrender of the administrati ton of educational institutions to the faculties, only financial problems be- ing left to the decision of boards Of trustees. The union aim will be the election of teachers, heads of de- partments, deans and other officials by the teachers themselves on demo- cratic ballot system, and settlement of educational problems by the same method.
 Tenure of office of the college in structor assistant and assistant pro. lessor would no longer be from year to year, dependent upon the action of administrative officials but would also be based upon the ballot, the term of the teacher continuing as long as his colleagues considered him effi- cient.

They are so apart, those little suits which include a jacket, and they are coming more and more into the lime light of fashion, not only for the small boy but also for the grown lady.
 This sort of suit supplies a need which many mothers have been feel ing for some time. It has been 2, problem to get a suit which Is dressy, which Is warm, and which is, withal, youthful. This design forbids any effect except the dress-up one. and it may be developed in heavy material without losing one bit of youthful ness.
 It might be developed in velvet, serge or broadcloth. Suppose you use brown velvet, give it a blouse of pom gee. If you develop 1t in serge or broadcIoth, poplin or linen could be used for the blouse.
 Note the smart little taf1or's ar rows which mark the pockets. Note the dainty little sleeves and the use of the soutache braid about the jacket and sleeves.
 The collar is a pleasant variation from the eternal Peter Pan and should have it's points finished with picoting.

THANKSGIVING SERVICE.

A service of thanksgiving will close the nationwide campaign in the Episcopal churches Of this city. Every parish will hold such a service at 10:30 tomorrow.
 The every-member canvass last Sunday produced remarkable results, which will be announced in each parish at the thanksgiving service.
