A SAUCILY Y-RHYMED
YARN OF TWO WEEKS"

Ed Evans, who rattles a wicked
Undsrwsoa Tor Tom Moore, dug this
Up somewhere and sent IL along TO
us. It's alleged 20 be a rhymed re-
view OF 1.-TWO Weeks" at the Rislto
next week:
A chorus girl camped in a dingy
/ side street, she'd little to wear and
much less 20 eat; but a Stew that she
knew had oodles OF dough. he always
dined well and eschewed H2o.
'Your hats on the fritz" said the
stew. You're a sight! You need new
! furniture TO make you look right! II
you take up with me, I'll make YOU

also a car"

is more'n I'll pay
I When he finally vowed he'd never

| she needed the food. But when she'd
signed up for a million a year, the
Stew hung around Til she trembled
with fear. She fed in truck, and
handled with care, she finally wound
up at the house OF a Bear

She acted scan -doo-lous, she led him
pace, once went for swim with
her vanity case, and clad in soft
moonshine and hre.hy glow. she
dipped in the ripples where lily pads
blow.
When Bruin came out for mid
night prowl, the Bear saw the bare
and uttered a growl, and he grumped
and he grouched, but the saucy young
scamp knew well he would fall for
the vampety-vamp.
The climax came when the Broad
way stew returned for the mink and
made trouble anew.
The big Bear listened. his heart
all aflutter, when she Said shed not

Bear growled quite ugly and said:
"I've a notion to spank you and

A Time for HYGIENE Living.

In the news columns of this issue
table is printed which shows, side by
side with like record for the CORE
spending days Of 1919, the number of
gether with the deaths therefrom, that
have been reported to Boston's health
commissioner during the 10 days from
Jan 20-29, 1920. This comparison in
dicates that until last Monday there
was little IL any cause for alarm over
the current situation in Boston. The
cases reported TO that date were great
" less numerous this year than they
were last year at a time when, even
then, the epidemic was not at its height
but was present only in the form Of a
recurrent attack, Beginning on Mon
day Of this week, the immediate sit.
uation in Boston, however, took turn
for the worse. During the last four
days the number of cases has run the
following course; Jan. 20, las; Jan. y,
1877; Jan. 2s, 357; this morning, 300.
Although the marked increase noted
during the last two days, and especially
yesterday, is in part due TO an influx OF
heiated reports, oceasioned by the ex-
tensive publicity recently given the
subject. there can be no denying the
fact that insofar as number OF cases
alone Is concerned. the immediate sit
nation Is far from favorable. II is Sc
rious enough TO command the prompt
taking of every step, either public or
private, which can help to keep the cpl
demic from growing worse, and which
will prepare us for thoroughly effective
action il, despite all, the influenza does
20 on from bad to worse For the pur-
pose Of preparedness the request filed
by the state board OF health that II be
granted a $4,000 fund with which TO
combat any emergency that may arse,
is most commendahle, as Is also the
organization OF the special committee
appointed by Mayor Peters TO assist
the health commissioner. DIR. Wood
ward. in any matters in which even his
well-ordered Office may need assistance.
For the purpose Of preventing the pre-
cipitation Of an emergency, for the pur-
pose of keeping the influenza from
growing worse at this time, it is not
our public agencies, however, which can
be of most service II Is the private
citizen who can best protect both HIM
self and others by observing with scru-
puIous care all the dictates of hygienie
living and all those amenities OF con,

Of contagion.
with this urgency recognized and
with every possible emphasis placed
upon meeting H. there are reasons
however. why concern over the present
situation should not assume the pro
portions Of public alarm. If the mum

Vermont Boys and Girls.

Every Vermonter feels justifiable
pride in the record of the 10000 YER
mont boys and girls enrolled IN clubs
last season. who produced garden crops,
canned goods, pigs, poultry, potatoes,
corn, calves, sheep, cooking, sewing,
handicrafts, and maple sugar worth
$50 ,629.32 and on which they made
net profit Of l6.40s.52. While the val
ne of their products was less than VA
per person and their net profit but
81 ga each, the whole result is of very
creditable magnitude. 1t is doubtful II
adult farmers can show such a large
percentage of net profits.
Not every boy and girl enrolled was
success, and doubtless many of them
were actually losers I'M their undertak-
ings. But the work of the season has
opened to many of them an occupation
in which they can win success. One girl
made a net profit of S33.2l from her
garden. another S2s6.64 canning fruit
and Jelly, a third successfully baked
lis bakings and the fourth was very
successful in sewing. One Vermont boy
made q net profit of S49l0 on regis
tered Chester White SOW, one Sl73 on
eggs. one 1891 40 on lbs bushels of pc
ia toes, one raised l25 bushels of corn
per acre. one $92.s3 on purebred Ayr
shire calves, one has produced fine
flock of sheep, one showed great skill
in handicrafts and another made a
profit of Sl9s on making maple sugar.
Everyone of these has become expert
in his OF her line of effort and has dem
onstrated ability to produce necessities
of life.
Their success is greater than that Of
any student, because they have become
masters OF useful and productive art.
They have made great advancement IN
good citizenship and promise still great
or achievement as they mature. The
development Of IL such boys and girls
a year is a worth while result of the
boys and girls clubs; but the clubs
have done much more than this. These
boys and girls are the frsts, but they
are closely approached by more than
100 other boys and girls who have
achieved marked success. The people
Of the state will want these clubs CON
tinued and see 10000 instead of 10000

The Vermont Legislature.

1t is an excellent thing 60 be talking
about the kind Of governor Vermont
needs, but the fact should not be lost
sight OF that the governor, as q matter
Of routine. is bound by the acts Of the

This is good point, but il immedi-
ately brings us face to face with the
proposed change in our present system
Of representation Ii is a fairly safe
proposition that the smaller the legis-
iature the higher the type Of individual
representative will be, that deduction
being drawn from the fact that each
representative can be selected from a
much larger number Of eligibles than
at the present time.
Running the state of Vermont under
present conditions presents a problem

What Of CALIFORNIA; vineyardsa

The California delegation in Con

Vermont Druggists and Law.

The resolution adopted by the YER
mont Pharmaceutical association at Its
annual meeting in Montpelier this week
will cause some surprise. Its members
voted not to sell any liquor for any
purpose whatever until the state and
federal laws regarding the sale Of hq-
ouor be brought into harmony Ihey
claim that while the federal law pro-
vides for the sale of liquors containing
more than one-half of one per cent
Of alcohol for strictly medicinal pur-
poses one the prescription Of a physl-
clan and for religious purposes. the
state law forbids such sales unless the
town, under the state law, has voted to
allow the issuance Of druggists licenses.
Article VI. section ,, Of the United
States constitution says; This con,
stitution and the laws Of the United
states which shall be made in pursu-
ance thereof; and all treaties made,
or which shall be made, under the au-
thority OF the United States shall be
the supreme laws Of the land; and the
Judges in every state shall be bound
thereby, anything in the constitution
or laws Of any state TO the contrary
notwithstanding"
Such a declaration Of the supremacy
of the federal law over any state law
would seem sufficient to give the drug
gists Of the state the right TO sell

making the raise as it is a case OF
necessity and we believe our read
ers and advertisers will realize
this.
We have adopted the following
schedule which will go into effect
on February |, 1920, and will pos
itively be adherd to, and no dis
counts or rebates allowed to any
one other than those noted.
The subscription price on that
date will advance to $500 "A year
for papers mailed to any postotf-
ice within the county and TO $3.50
per year to all subscribers out
side of the county. Up TO the
first of February subscriptions
and renewals will be received at
the present rate Of Sl.5O per year,
but no subscription will be accc
pied for a longer perion than two
years.
The advertising rates for dis
play space will be twenty cent
per single column, with a discount
of twenty five per cent on regul
ar or standing space. No discount
from this rate will be allowed on
short time contracts. Display
space on the first page or III pref
erred position will be charged for
at twenty-five cents per inch and
no discount allowed from this
rate. Reading locals will be ten
cents per line per week, and for
notices of all kinds the same rate
will be charged. Cards of Thanks
not exceeding twelve lines will be
one dollar.
These rates have been carefully
figured out by the Press publish
ers and we find that they are the
very least that we can charge and
have the Press pay its own way
and make a little money for its
owners.

holding of this popular gathering
be again resumed was enthusias-
tically carried. and the banquet
will again be held this year dur
ing the early days Of February.
Since the location of the county
seat at Kadoka these banquets
have been held and have been eX-
ceedingIy popular with, not only
our farmer friends in this trade
territory, but with the people from
all parts of the entire county-and
the discontinuancc of them for the
past two years on account OF the
war could not be avoided. This
year the banquet will be on Il lar
ger scale than even before and
every effort will be made to make
it as popular and entertaining as
heretofore, and if possible to eX-
cell anything previously attempted.
The committee consisting of {.
n. Leedom. Frank Simek, George
Hutton, Selmer SoIenn, J. n. Fry
berger and E. T. Nellor are hard
at work on the matter and the
date, together with an outline Of
the entertainment provided, Will
be made in short time. Every
one in the entire county is invited
to be the guest of Kadoka for this
banquet and the Press believes
that the announcement OF the
date, etc, will be watched for by
all, while plans are being made to
be at Kadoka and enjoying this
annual gathering.
The Commercial Club is one of
the greatest organizations for good
that can be had by any community
and the work that has been acc
omplished by the Kadoka Comm
ercial Club in the past has been
great, but is only a small part of
what can be accomplished in the
future, with the spirit of enter
prise and progressiveness shown at
the meeting Tuesday night.
