bunal yesterday on charge made bv a

cow had been contiscated and she was
perriless. She added that She had ap-
piled numerous times for position as

PROH|D|T|ONLAW
ENFORCED HERE
FEDERAL AGENT VISITING
SIOUX FALLS SAYS THIS
STATE Is WELL CARED
FOR.

Sioux Falls. Dec. S.-Prohibition
enforcement in South Dakota and
the northwestern department is
equal to that OF any in the 4s states
i'm the union, according to a state
ment made today by N. B. Miller.
assistant field superintendent for the
northwestern division, who is in the
city looking after the work done by
the Sioux Falls office.
When il comes to enforcing pro-
hibition, the. difficulties that we face
do not matter said Mr.. Miller. I'VE
do the best that we can and believe
that we have accomplished all that
could be expected OF course the
prohibition law will always be vio-
lated. the same as any other law.
There have been laws against muir
der for hundreds of years. but that
does not entirely do away with the
crime"
Mr.. Miller attributes the success
of the prohibition law in this state
and especially In Sioux Falls TO the
cooperation that is maintained be-
tween the cifx-A state and federal
officials. In fact the whole north
western division, comprising the
states of South and North Dakota,
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, is
noted for this feature.
The thing now is not so much
strict enforcement. as matter of
education" continued Mr.. Miller.
When the people learn the benefits
of prohibition, and that it must be
enforced, they will be more willing
10 help. Ten years from now the
enforcement of the law will be COM
paratively simple"

ORGANIZE MEMS
BROTHERHOOD CAMP
MEMS MEETING AT FIRST ZAP
TIsT CHURCH SHOWS CHRIS
TIAN ENERGY.

The Mems Brotherhood club of the
First Baptist church met in the
basement parlors for their first reg
ular meeting, which comes on the
first Monday evening IA every
month. An unusually large number
of representative men were present,
SO much SO that Prof. Nickle, who
gave the evening lecture. could not
refrain from commenting and ex-
pressing his pleasure and surprise
over this fact
The Brotherhood men considered
themselves lucky for the privilege to
listen TO Prof NickIe's address, and
Madison ought to feel fortunate in
having secured so capable teacher
at the head of it's high school. We
shall look forward to another oppor-
tunity to listen to him in our club
meetings.
Mr.. Keller. the president. an
nounced the choice of the various
committees and outlined their du-
lies. while all enjoyed a light lun-
cheon, with the speaker of the even
ing and officers arranged at the
head table.
The object of the Mems Brother
hood is primarily to bring home and
into our every day living the great
principles of truth, love and charity
as taught by the teacher of all
teachers, Jesus Christ Every Sun
day morning these men meet in the
form of Sunday school class. DIR.
C. @. Peters, pastor of the First Bap-
fist church, has consented to teach
us. Anyone who has not heard him
teach a class have missed rare
treat. Few men can teach christian
ity in the simple matter of fact man
ner he does and yet infuse such
wealth of historical facts tinged with
the human interest side of life in IL
So in order 10 bring as many as pos
sible in to hear DIR. Peters and join
the Brotherhood the men organized
two teams to be known as the
Reds" and the Blues" who viii
vie 18th each other as TO who can
secure the most members on their
respective sides. The loosers are TO
give an oyster supper at the end OF
every three months. SO look out,
Mr.. Man. the Reds" and the
blues" will be after you, and see to
it's that you join with the winners.
At each monthly meeting interest
ing as well as instructive programs
will be rendered. A prominent
speaker will be on hand to give us
a good lecture. Special music. songs
and a good feed. will also be in store
for us. So come on, men, to our
next meeting. Let us know some
thing about what we live for, VINO
we live for. and why we live at all
Too many of us merely exist. Con-
tributed.

Pierre, Dec. S.-The big issue
before the coming legislative session
will be on finance.
One of the first things to be con-
sidered will be that of providing for
the s6,000.O00 of soldiers bonus in
bonds. which will have to be retired
within 10 years. which will mean an
annual tax levy of approximately
S700,000 for the next 10 years.
Over this practically every state
institution will be asking for in
creased appropriations The uniyers-
ity will want at least $500, 600 for
new buildings, and as much more
for new buildings, to attempt to give
il a better standing among univers-
tiles of the northwest.
Every other institution, including
the state capitol, will want appro-
priations for buildings, the present
capitol building being overcrowded,
and departments flowing into bust
ness blocks.
The members in expressed views
Will come to the session with view
of economy wherever it can be ap-
piled, and there are likely to be dis
appointments as TO many desired APP
preparations.
Outside of the financial features.
ones of the big issues will be that of
a general state drainage plan under
control of state director or super
visor, the demand for this coming
from the lower valleys OF streams
which are being flooded by surplus
water turned into the streams by
drainage further up the valleys.
The question of a site for hydro
electric development is another mat
ter which will be source of con-
tention. There will be hot contest
between supporters of the sites at
Hobridge, In the northern part OF
the state. and Mule Head" in the
southern part, for location.
Women will be asking for legislar
ton along the lines of the resolu-
tions of the South Dakota Fedora
tion of Women's clubs, giving wo-
men greater powers and rights in
handling business affairs of the fam.
| ily.. where there are joint interests
especially along the lines OF john

ing property rights of the surviving

Sioux Falls, Dec. 8.--Never before
in the opinion of old time residents,
has South Dakota experienced SO
long a period of foggy and cloudy
weather. With the exception OF
part of Thanksgiving day, the sun
has failed to shine with its .accus-

most of the days and nights being
shrouded with a thick fog similar to
that seen on the coast or in London.
While the temperature has remained
around 80 degrees day and night, al

DAKOTA SEEKS
TEAM WORK"
TO INSTRUCT DELEGATES TO
FEDERATION MEETING.

Sioux Falls, Dec. S.-Farmers all
over the United States are taking
the deepest interest possible in the
annual convention of the American
Farm Bureau federation, which will
be held at Indianapolis. on Decem-
ber 6, 7 and 8. South Dakota viii
be represented at the convention by
a delegation which has some definite
proposals to make for the relief of
the farmers of the country. these be-
ing based upon the recent action of
the South Dakota grain marketing
committee of the state marketing de-
partment.
The department took the stand
that no one branch of agriculture
can stand alone In its demands and
succeed, as each is dependent upon
the other for success.
This means a widespread cooper
ative movement which not only In
cludes the state of South Dakota,
but South Dakota working In har-
mony with other states engaged in
IKE dSFlCuttufdi eiIoIlS.
The department starts on the gen.
eral plan that the marketing prob
lens may be divided into four FUN
damental sections: production. sfor-
age, transportation and credits: that
production is largely under control
of the individual farmer. and is con-
trolled through better live stock,
uniform and graded output. and that
Limitation of production should be
applied only to the putting of poor
stuff on the market, whether it is
live stock or direct products of the
soil.
The matter of financing, in the
view of the marketing department
and marketing committee. is one of
the more difficult to handle. but the
general idea of this is that through
proper cooperation on a wide scale
the matter can be far more easily
solved than through any local ef-
forts in that direction. and 1t is to
this end of general corporation
among the producers OF both grain
and live stock that the aim of ths
marketing department is extended Ii
its broad general plan.
Views of the state marketing de-
partment and special marketing
committee will be impressed upon
the delegates to the convention b,
the South Dakota delegation, and
il is believed. will enable the ma
tional convention to solve many ol
the problems which confront thu
farmers and stock raisers of thu
United States at this time.

Washington. Dec. S.-President
Wilson is considering resnbmitting
treaty to congress, sending with it
a special message on the subject of
Americas foreign relations. it was

today. The information that this
might be done. came from officials
who yesterday declared that Wilson
was not contemplating such step.
The text of the treaty is still in the
presidents hands. where it was sent
when rejected by the senate the last
time. The preMdent ID said to be-
iieve that recenk developments at the
Geneva meeting Of the League OF
Nations assembly may make the lea
que covenant more acceptable to the
senate than heretofore.

NO REDUCTION IN DODGE CARS

Official confirmation of press dis
patches from Detroit, announcing
there would be no reduction in the
price of Dodge Brothers Motor Cors,
has been received by Painter Mach
inery Co., the Dodge Brothers dealer
in this city. A telegram from G. w.
Matheson, acting general sales man.
ager to the local dealer, reads:
dodge Brothers policy has ever
been to give full value for the price
asked. There will be no reduction in
the present prices of Dodge Broth
ers motor cars. Newspaper reports
to the contrary are absolutely un-
true"
"Dodge Brothers announcement
was no surprise to u.s." said Mr..
Painter. In fact it is only substan-
tiaton of Dodge Brothers business
principles. At no time have they ever
demanded an excess amount for their
product. AS in the past, they will
continue in the future to demand a
fair return for their efforts"
"The mere fact that the demand
for Dodge Brothers motor cars is
still greater than the supply, despite
the great expansion program at the
factory, has absolutely nothing to do
with the decision to continue the pre-
sent prices, In marketing their car
Dodge Brothers have never made n
point of price and will never sacri-
flee the quality of their product to
enter price competition.

WILL VOTE AS HUSBANDS DC
TATE MANY REGISTERED

Editor C. V. News:
Dispatches state that something
like 100000 women will cast tbcir
vote in November for one of the can
didates for the Presidency. OF the
nall dozen or so candidates, each of
them will get some votes from the
women. Debbs, now in Jail, even.
VIII get some support from the new
electorate, rs will also Watkins. the
Prohibition candidate, and all the
others. Neither of the old paries will
coral the female vote, do not ex-
pect to do so. After all, the women
viii vote with their husbands as a
rule, and the vote in the aggregate
is likely to be changed but little. II
was expected in the beginning, and
still expected by many, that the
women would he almost if not quite.
solid for the League Of Nations, the
adoption of which would tend to
prevent future wars, and keep their
sons and loved ones out of war in
the future. This was u logical and
reasonable expectation, but, subse
quent developments seem to have. in
a measure, dissipated this expecta-
tion. In some quarters women have
been told by Republican speakers
some of whom knew as little of the
real meaning of the League and
Covenant of Peace as the people
they were haranguing-that the
adoption of the League, instead of
preventing future wars will produce
wars, and by this false appeal and
interpretation, have deceived and
misled many women and men, too.
So, it appears, that the entrance of
women into the political arena will
change but little if any, the usual
results in the elections.
las l see it, if the women are to
follow the old lines and be led by
their husbands and partisan polite.
ians of either party, then the hope
of great reforms in the body poll
tic, expected, and properly expected,
will prove to have been n hope with
out foundation. Later, however,
after the women catch OIL, and get a
wider knowledge of political affairs,
they may become a great indepen-
dent power in the country.
