These peculiar, unexplainabie mes
sages put into my, head a. complete
and accurate mapsof the Lake Sabine

them. I planned our terminal from
this idea and did not have to deviate
from my plans after going to the
ground. Following advice. L built a
land-locked harbor on Lake Sabine
and a seven-mile canal connecting
with deep waters. =
Il constructed the harbor at, Port
Arthur and. the canal absolutely in
accordance with the messages I had
received. -Four years were consumed
in the work and 1t was finished just
a few days before Galveston was
partly destroyed by the tidal wave that
had been predicted"
Stilwill said that on other oc-
c%asions his business plans had been
changed abruptly by such peculiar
messages. He was born in Rochester,
N. Y. in 1861.

FRENCH REFUSE TO

London, Sept. 27.-The proposed
conference OF. the Allied premiers with
representatives of Germany at Ge-
.neva has been indefinitely postponed
as a result Of the sharp refusal of the
French to meet the Germans, it was
learned. The French claim that
whenever the Allies met the Germans
in conference in the past, the Teutons
succeeded in whiting down some of
their treaty obligations. Belgium is
understood to be supporting the
French attitude while the Italians are
said to be giving Premier Lloyd
George only lukewarm support Of his
moderate policy because they fear the
Austrians may attempt to emulate
German tactics. -

MARRIAGE BIZ MAIL FAILS.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. 27.-Postcfice
inspectors here temporarily detained
a pretty young woman, whose name
was given as Marie O'Reilly, 20 years
old, on suspicion that she had been
fraudulently conducting a matri-
monial business through the mails.
The complainant, a young farmer.
living near Centralia, asked for and
obtained the release of Miss O'Reilly,
who came here from Butte, Mont,
and met the young man. with whom
she had been corresponding.
The couple did not state their in
.tentions when they left the inspec-
tors Office together, but they appear
ed fully reconciled. Miss O'Reilly was
free and a complaint. which had been
written out and awaited only an of
signature, was torn up.

woman Join him, here, and that she
had, not done this. He had previous

MORE MONEY FOR
THE ON

il is expected that the Fuller pension
bill, passed by the House last January,
but which was not reached by the Sen
ate until recently, will soon become a
law. The Senate made few changes In
the bill, and there may be a few more
made by the conference committee be-
fore it is sent to the President for sigma
ture, but its essential provisions are not
likely to be changed.
The law will provide that every person
who served 80 days or more in the Civil
War and who has been honorably dis
charged, or who, having served less than
80 days was discharged for disability, is
entitled to a pension Of not less than
$50 per month, with larger amounts for
disability. The widow Of such person,
if married to the soldier prior to June
27, 1905, is entitled to pension Of $50
monthly.
Widows of persons who served during
the war of 1912, and survivors of the
Mexican War who served not less than
60 days, as well as their widows, are en-
titled to the same amounts of pension as
those of the Civil War.
An amendment placed on the bill in
the Senate includes as entitled to the
benefits of the law cali veterans now Cd

COM M ENCE MENT
Custer High School to Graduate the Class
of Nineteen Twenty, Friday,
May the 2lst

The Graduating Exercises for the
Glass of 1920 began with the presenta-
ton of the Class play at the Opera
House on Friday evening, May 7th,
when the class put on the play "The
Missing Miss Miller" which was in
three acts and was full of thrills and
screams. The class was coached by Mrs
Myrtle Reynick, and the play not only
gave evidence of careful preparation
but fine portrayal Of the parts assumed.
The class was assisted by the orchestra,
also by music by Miss Eva Wilson and
Mrs, NJ. A. Willis, and two very fine
numbers in vocal Duets by the Misses
Garnett and Alberta Campbell.
On Sunday evening, May 10th, the
Baccalaureat6 Sermon will be given by
Rev. A. g. Campbell at the assembly
room of the High School where the
churches viii meet in a Union Service.
Mrs G. L. Perrin will have charge of
the Union choir for the evening service.
On Friday, 2lst, the Commencement
Exercises will occur at the High School
Assembly room. The address will be
given by Mr.. f.. c. Woodburn, Presi-
dent of the Spearfsh Normal. judging
from the address given b. President
WoOdburn at the Institute some time
ago and from the reputation which pre-
cedes him, the address will be a rare
treat and worth while to the class 1t
has been year OF hard work, but hap
PLY not broken into as was the preced-
ing year by quarantine. Both the Fac
ulty and Class have accomplished much
by cooperation and the class Of 1920
are worthy successors Of those who have
preceded them in the past
Much credit belongs to the Superin-
tendent, Mr. W. f. Sloan, for his care
ful painstaking efforts in behalf of the
class. Those who complete the work
done and obtain the credits necessary to
graduate will have much to remember
through the fine work of the High
School Faculty who have given them
selves so uusparingly to bring this class
to the hour of this success.

Every town in the Hills should send
a good boosting delegation to the CON
Vention that as many folks as possible
may be persuaded to visit their home
towns. Every town in the Hills should
be spick and span. Never before have
a like number of visitors been in the
Hills at the same time. If any com
munity is planning on making improve
ments they should push them through
whenever possible before June that a
good report Of this whole country may
be spread broadcast over the eastern
half of our state.

NO LANGUAGE QUITE PURE
Words Expressing New Ideas and New
Things Are Passed From Ma
ton to Nation.

IF by "a pure language" is meant one
that does not contain words adopted
from another ,an%Uage, then there are
none among civilized nations. A Ian
guage is not something made to order
and that once made ends there so
far as development is concerned. A
language grows in many ways. Take
modern English for example. 1t diff
fers considerably from the English of
the time Of Queen Elizabeth, and it
is so different from the language
spoken in England at the time OF the
Norman conquest that could one Of
those old SaXOns come back ne would
not understand us and we would not
understand him. And yet the Ian
guage he spoke is the basis of modern
English Since the time of the Sax
ons there has been great growth. The
Normans brought in French, and
scholars since then have brought in
thousands of words derived from Latin
and Greek. These are English words
today, but the roots from which they
sprang are to be found in other and
in many eases in older languages. 1t
Is because of this that the English vo-
cabulary is SO extensive and the Ian
guage so expressive. 4,
Italian, Spanish and French are
largely derived from Latin, which was
the language Of ancient Rome, and for
centuries Rome WAS the ruler of con
tinental Europe. And the Latins bor
rowed from the still elder Greek.
A living language is always grow
ing. For. example, science is introduc-
and 10 name new things.
