WHEN PEACE CAME
Oppressive Silence Followed the
Great Crash.
Hard at First to Realize That the
Carnage Of -Four Dreadful Years
Had Ended-Huns Defeated
but Unrepentant.

with a silence like that which fol-
lows the mighty crash of a great or
gan, the great war came suddenly to
an end No longer do the weary sol
dlers at listening posts strain their
ears through long night watches; star
shells have ceased to burst and flame
over No Mans land; cann0ns have
cooled; machine guns utter no sound;
the exchange Of all manner Of deadly
missiles has stopped. At last peace,
which for four slow. dreadful years
has seemed afar off like a mirage, has
come The thousand and one activI-
ties of battle. Intense to the last ounce
of possible human effort. are relaxed.
Ships now cross the ocean In safety /;
smoke from thousands Of ammunition
plants no longer darkens the sky;
tired workers return once more to
their homes; armies are demobliiziug;
reconstruction Of devastated homes
and farms and factories is contem-
plated; the dreadful military debaueh
has consumed itself; the world draws
great sigh of exhaustion and relief;
the conflict is ended.
In all history no message ever sped
so gladly nor so fast as the few words
flashed through the air, and under
oceans, and over land wires, until
around the whole world and TO its ut
termost accessible parts the news was
carried. What wonder that all civilian
ton gave vent to a frenzy of JOY al
most barbaric, that men shouted and
women wept; and little children wit
messed an event which threescOre
years and ten hence they will relate to
other wide-eyed children. In our joy
let US not forget those millions of ia
Tiers whose voices refused to cheer,
and those mothers and wives and
sweethearts whose eyes were dry. be-
cause their hearts were bowed down
with sorrow no victory can ever COM
pensate.
The Huns ceased only when physi-
cally exhausted; when their ammunl-
ton was spent; when the war had
reached their own borders when they
no longer possessed the ability TO muir
der the defenseless, to gas the brave.
Their regret is that they failed. but
not one single word Of penltence for
the harm they have done, the sorrow
they have caused Instead they think
only of their bellies and demand, not
supplicate. the food they have so wan
tonly destroyed for years; they whine
lest the very cars they stole from
France and Belgium be returned to
their rightful owners. They have been
beaten in what was for nearly four
years an unequal struggle, but for any
word which has yet to come out of
Germany they are the same unregen-
crate Huns who, casting aside all the
obligations of a civilized nation,
marched into Belgium in August, 1914.

OF 80 necklaces which have been
made from the magnificent collection
Of pearls contributed to the Red Cross
from ali parts of the British empire,
two are Of considerable interest.
One of them is composed almost en-
tirely of the fine collection of pearls
sent from Egypt as a result of the
Red Cross appeals, and the other is a
specially beautiful necklace of pearls
of the straw-colored tone which is so
much sought after by buyers. The
necklaces are not of uniform size /;
they vary in length. In color and. of
course, in value. But all of them are
of great beauty, for they consist of the
best pearls from many famous neck
laces, as well as from less well-known
ones, matched by the chief experts in
London.

HARVESTERS COMING
LARGE NUMBERS ARE ARRIVING
FOR SMALL GRAIN WORK.

Sioux Falls, July 12.-In anticipa-
tion Of the early commencement of
small grain harvest in South Dakota,
numbers of men are commencing to
arrive in the state from Oklahoma.
Chicago, Philadelphia and other
states and cities. AS yet, according
To the officers of the United States
employment bureau at Sioux Falls.
there is not much demand for har-
vest hands, as harvest i'm general will
not commence for a week or ten days.
Owing to the hot weather il is ex-
pected the harvest will come ON with
a rush because of the rapid ripening
of grain during the closing days OF
the growing season, when large num-
! bers of men will be needed to har-
vest the immense small grain crop OF
South Dakota.
Small grain is ripening well al
present. with a promise of a big yield
so far as the state i'm general is con
cerned. In some localities the yield
will be reduced through the appear
nee of the Canadian blight and from
other causes, but the small grain
crop of the state at large Is expected
TO compare favorably with the record
breaking crop raised In the state last
year.

COUNTY ROADS
SOME CHANGES MADE In THE
SEVERAL TOWNSHIPS.

At the meeting held in the court
house day before yesterday some
changes and additions were worked
out in connection with the county
road system. They are as follows:
Orland, 8 miles added as follows:
Between sections 21-22 and 1927
and 1894.
Franklin county road extended OF
Minnehaha county line, three miles
south from northeast corner of Sec
Ition p.
q Summit township county road ex-
tended 3 miles north from southeast
corner of section 16.
Rutland county road extended .
miles east from northeast corner of
section 81.
Other extensions of county roads
asked for are still pending. with some
show of success for what is asked
for later.
Mike C~osgr0ve, superintendent OF
county roads, has several trucks and
a number of crew at work in differ
ent parts of the county scraping,
grading and ~leyeling sections of road
way hat are in need of such treat
ment. Over at Wentworth consider
able filling is being done in a num-
Der of low places. The truck and
gang there are also dragging the
roads in good shape following recent
rains. Another gang is finding plenty
to do south of Junius. The state
road e of the city is getting some
needed attention. The Madison truck
and accompanying crew are at pres
ent doing some graveling and grad
ing west.
AS a step toward the adoption OF
a system of hard surfaced roads, the
state hfghway e5mmission insists thai
all roads up for proposed improve
ment be thoroughly drained, survey
ed and put up to proper grade level.
As o proposed, the new road sys-
tenn will bring all rural dwellers
within three miles of macadam high.
ways.
AT Thursdays meeting the road
system was taken up by TOWNSHIPS.
