SOUTH DAKOTA So
Ions TO MEET
STATE LEGISLATURE CALLED TO
MEET MAY "a.

Pierre, May 4.-South Dakota So
Ions will meet in special session at
Pierre, Monday, May "a, at 10 a. m.,
according to the official call for the
legislature, issued by Governor Peter
Norbeck. Although numerous impor-
tant subjects will be taken up, the
session is not expected to prove a
long one as the season will not per-
nit of the many farmer members re-
naming long away from their home
work.
Reports of the state cement plant
commission and the state water power
plant commission and a proposed con-
stitutional amendment which would
permit bonus to the eX-service men
of the state are chief topics to be
brought up, it is understood.
A bill is being prepared by Presi-
dent Foght of the Northern Normal
school at Aberdeen which would pro-
vide for a 40 per cent increase in the
salaries Of the instructors at the seven
state institutions. President Foght
is prepared to show that these teach
ers are now receiving less than la
borers doing street work.
The matter of the ex-service mems
bonus is expected to prove perhaps
the overshadowing event of the legis-
lature. While the various American
Legion posts in South Dakota have
made no requests for such a bonus,
there appears to be considerable SEN
a move. Some favor the plan adopt
ed by Minnesota of providing each
boy with SIS per month for each
month spent in service.

Washington, d. c., May 4.-Warn-

disproportionate increase in gasoline

THE PRINT PAPER
SITUATION
EXTENSIVE PUBLISHERS DIS
CUSS WAYS AND MEANS.

Washington, May 4.-Government
restrictions on consumption of news
print paper were urged before a SEN
ate investigating committee today by
Frank A. Munsey, of New York, pub
Usher of five daily newspapers and
three magazines.
Mr.. Munsey declared that if the rd-
ito OF consumption continued for the
next 25 years at the rate it had in
the past quarter of a century there
would be no wood pulp forests left
in the world. The witness said that
even now the nation must look for
ward to the time when daily news
papers will be selling for five and
even ten cents.
In urging government restrictions
Mr.. Munsey said there was no posi-
BILE remedy left to individual publish
ers.
Cutting the sibe of newspapers
would materially protect the forects
would not materially reduce revenues
of publishers, Mr.. Munsey asserted
and would protect the forests.
One remedy suggested by Mr.
Munsey was for the government tC
obtain control of all forests by con.
stitutional amendment and apportior
the present timber growth for paper
making until new forests could be
grown. William Randolph Hearst, OF
New York, submitted letter setting
forth his views on the news print sit
uation. He advocated 20 or 25 pei
cent reduction in the use of prht
paper by all publishers and the doub
ling of circulation and advertisins
rates. This, he said, would restric
circulation and advertising without
affecting revenue.
The fundamental cause of news
paper recklessness in the use of prin
paper, the letter contained, is tha
publishers conduct their newspaper
on the basis of cheap print paper ant
the high dollar which formerly eX
listed rather than on the basis of higl
print paper and the cheap dollar ex

Sioux Falls, May 4.-For making
the remark: "If were of conscription

could shoot me, but they could not

farmer of Haakon county, must serve
one year and one day in the federal

of Farichild given by Judge Elliott, at
Deadwood, in the fall Of 1918. Fair

Farmer Escapes When
Car Carried 60 Feet

DeSmet, May 4.-Frank Keiting, a
young farmer living near DeSmet,
escaped death by little less than a
miracle when his auto was struck by
the locomotive hauling freight train
in the DeSmet yards.
Keiting suffered minor bruises
about the head. The auto was de-
molished.
The engine struck the automobile
squarely and carried it down the
track about 60 feet before the train
could be brought to a stop.
Mr.. Keiting believed the train was
in the eastern end of the yards and
was watching for it's approach from
that direction when he neared The
track
He had his curtains on his car, and
as the engine was moving slowly
from the western part of the yards
he did not hear it's approach.
The engineer was on the opposite
side of the cab from that on which
Keiting approached, and did not sec
the automobile before the TRAN
struck it.

OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT

Washington, May 4.-There is nc
doubt at all that President Wilson

quarters here today. Administration

Under these circumstances some

the Knox resolution, Democratic
Leader Underwood let it be known
that all plans for a democratic fill
buster against the Knox resolution

campaign, Knox himself would be tn;
logical man to head the ticket, hi

Minneapolis Travelling
Man Is Defendant

Deadwood, May 4.-From the fry

the result of the hearing here of
Leonard Cassidy, young travelling
man, whose home is in Minneapolis,
whehe he is said to have wife, on
the charge of registering as man and
wife at Deadwood hotel with an 49,
year-old Sturgis girl
There was no denial of the offense,
but it developed that the girl was not
of reputation contemplated by the
statute under which the action was
instituted, SO the states attorney
found it necessary to dismiss the case.
However, he Immediately institut-
ed another action against Cassidy on
a statutory charge, in which the de-
fendants Minneapolis wife may be
called as witness to establish that
Cassidy is married.

Death Of Woman
Remains Mystery

Blaisdel, N. D., May Awhile Of
ficials first said that the death of
Miss Sadie Webber, former superin-
tendent of schools of Ward county,
was caused by herself, they are in
vestigating the theory that she may
have been murdered.
Miss Webber's body was found in
her homestead shack near here, fully
clothed, with a rope about her neck,
one end of the rope being fastened to
bedpost. In her hands, which were
gloved, she held several letters which
she had just received and she also
held the keys to her home.
The house was locked from the in
side, one window only being unlocked
and it was open an inch or two from
the bottom. Relatives scout the sui

section may do is it likes with wages but the
fact remains that money is not wealth but
medium of exchange Wealth, real wealth, is
produced only by effort and the present stand
ards Of production cannot but make less of it to
go around regardless of how big the wages are
or how much money there is. In regard to
work it seems to the writer that work can be

the world can give little for life is founded on

and who makes his work the big thing in his

What is progressive? To our mind
Theodore Roosevelt was of the type
that represents progression of the
highest type. With him his country
was first in everything, and his ev-
cry act and utterance was for the bet
terment and elevation of mankind. He
accomplished more without resort to
the sword than accomplished by any
other man. He enjoyed the confidence
of the plain people to greater de-
gree than any man of this age. His
striking personality, in fact his whole
life, was an inspiration to every young

tenance with its patrolmen keeping the high
ways in excellent shape at all times. The mark
ing is plain and visitors generally lind the lines
easy to travel. In certain cases an Improvement
might be created by placing the signs at cross
roads just as near the fork as possible The
point is that the man who travels road every
day knows the road and is apt to forget that
the stranger must depend absolutely upon signs
