AND FISHERMEN
FORM PROTECTIVE ASSN

Many hunters and fishermen from
large number OF counties in the
state met at Huron last week to or
ganize the South Dakota Game and
Fish Protective Association The
object of the Association, as set out
in their Articles of Membership, is
as follows:
The purpose for which the corpor-
alton is formed is the preservation
and propagation of game and fish
and song and insect-eating birds
within the state of South Dakota;
and to aid in procurinA the enact
ment of proper laws for such pur-
poses and to cooperate with and as
sist the proper authorizes in the pro-
lection of game, fish and song and
insect-eating birds and to promote
closer unity and fellowship among
all true sportsmen and lovers of ma
ture and tho bsttermeEt of hunting
and fishing conditions within the
state of South Dakota.
Every fisherman and hunter who
believes that the Association is a
good thing is expected to join.
Membership fee OF one dollar is
charged for membership and this
money will be spent by the associa
tion i'm properly enforcing the game
and fish laws and to secure the pas
sage of laws for that purpose and
create a feeling of unity and fellow
ship among all true sportsmen and
lovers OF nature.
The Association will hold an an
nual meeting in the month of Decem-
ber in each year and each county in
the state will send delegate to this
annual melting, where all matters in
relation to the protection of fish and
game will be taken up.
South Dakota is falling in line
with many of the states which have
already organized protective asso-
Citations, and it is believed that the
lovers of nature and true sportsmen
can accomplish great deal by work
ing together.
1t is expected that nearly every
one who takes out hunting license
will join the ASSOCIATION. Jerry Will
son of Sisseton is the county repre-
sentative to secure members and

Rev. chas. r. Crawford

Rev Chas. A. Crawford was born
Browns Valley, Mimi, and died at
his home near Peever on February
18th, 1920, at O'Clock a. m. He
was 50 years and six months of age
at the time of his death. During
the time of Indian hostilities, Rev
erend Crawford was one of the great
scouts, having engaged in that work
at the age of sixteen. He participa-
ted in the quelling of the outbreak
in Minnesota and was thoroughly
familiar with the events of that af-
fair. He wrote correct history of
his people and the outbreaks and on
the signing of the treaty This his
tory is very exact and includes the
names of many Of the personel Of the
Outbreaks. His friends have been
very much interested in getting this
history copyrighted and published.
After the treaty was signed and
the Indians began to adopt some Of
the ways of the whites. Reverend
Crawford's next step was to become
minister, to which work he gave
80 years of his life.
His 80 years as a minister was
given to the Goodwill Mission church
and he resigned only when his health
prevented him from continuing.
He received many honorable gifts,
as tokens of the high esteem in
which he was held by his people.
Their first gift to him was a gold
cane upon which was inscribed:
.Wilmot, to Chas. R. Crawford.

ALI-ROUND ABILITY

1t is hard to say where the divid-
man begins or ends. The modern
farmer is a business man by force of
circumstances. He is also mechan-
ic through the fact that he has to
repair and run a more complicated
set of machines than most mill work
ers.
The demand of modern agriculture
have forced the farmer to become a
blsinss man in marketing his prod
uce, and skilled workman in rails
ing his crops. This all-round ability
is what has made the farmer sue
cess in governing the state of North
Dakota.-Grand Forks IN. d. Amer
lean.
The 1920 census will show so per
cent OF tenancy in Illinois. in the
opinion of the legislative reference
bureau. The growing percentage of
farm tenancy and absolute landlord
ism is menace to the agriculture
of the state. The most promising
solution is a graduated tax, bearing
heavily on large holdings by absent
ee owners. The constitutional con-
vention should frame the taxation
provision of the new constitution so
as to make this posible-The Prairie

Will be shown, "A WOMAN OF

Sunday evening will be shown
Charlie Chaplin in "a DAYS
PLEASURE" and Charlotte in the
FROZEN WARNING" Apparently
Chaplin didn't learn all the traffic
rules from Cop O'Toole when he
sounght new comedy material in
New York. If Charlie had even read
them, he wouldn't have gotten into
all the trouble he has with his Fliv-
; yer in "a Days Pleasure" II ga
Days Pleasure" is funny, its because
the picture is true to life. Many's
/ the time we've all had to wait for
the garbage wagon to get by before
we could travel. The opening scene
sof this attraction is declared to be
the most comical incident ever pic
turized.
| With "a Days Pleasure" on Sun
dag will be shown Charlotte. the
greatest. most graceful. and most
wonderful ice skater in the world in
photo play of great appeal, "The
Frozen Warning" This is real
play, real attraction.

be congratulated on the high class
entertainment promised us in the
near future

SCHOOL PROGRAM

| Last Friday evening very inter
esting program was given at the
School Auditorium This program
had been planned to take place some
time ago but on account OF the pre-
valency OF the Flu, it was postponed
until Friday evening.
A very beautiful play was given
by the children OF the primary grad
es under the instructions of Miss
stark. The play was one OF those
weddings that took place in the New
England states in the year seven
teen hundred and something, beau
tifully arranged to suit the Juvenile
actors and actresses.
An orchestra, under the leader
ship of Mr.. Wells, rendered num-
ber of selections and were heartily
applauded by the audience. Six high
school girls sang southern melodies
and folk songs until they were black
in the face and received many en-
cores.
A number of short talks were Civ
en-, and DIR. Robertson made the ad.
dress of the evening. His address
was full of the spirit of school pro-
gress, for which the Sisseton Schools
are especially commendable, and due
very much to the efficiency of the
present school board -
After the other entertainment had
been absorbed, a basket ball game
between the Senior-Sophomore and
Junior-Freshmen teams and game
between the Il. C. and City teams
furnished the remainder of the en-
tertainment These were hotly con-
tested games and resulted in victor
les tor the Senlor-Sophomore
team and the H. S. team. The first
half of the mems game resulted in
an even score but the H. S. boys came
back strong in the last period and run
their score up to 16 points as again
st 10 for the city team.
The present high-school team ap-
pears to be one of the very best ever
turned out at the local high school
and as soon as permissible some
good games will be staged in the
Auditorium.
The program was indeed real good
and Supt. Tholehaug and his CORDS OF
teachers deserve hearty commend
alton for the good woIH.

pUBLnT.Y OWNED sTocKYARDs

Public ownership and operation of
the stockyards of the nation is advo-
Gated By the Nonpartisan league, not
because it is thought that such action
would solve the livestock problems,
but because it is a necessity even
if only small part of the permanent
solution. The stockyadrs, in fact,
are only specialized freight depot.
They could be owned by the state
either az a separate organization or
they might be part of publicly
owned railroad system as other
freight depots would be.
The possession of this market place
or depot by enc side OF the buyer
seller groups gives that side grossly
unfair advantages. Business, trade
buying and selling can be fair only
VIXEN both parties meet on equal
terms. nackers possession of the
stockyarGis enables that interest tc
know all the necessary facts about
the market and to keep the farmer
sellers from finding out what they
should know to make fair sales.
Packer. ownership also enables that
interest to fleece the farmer on feed
, charges. switching charges, etc. The
: reasons for public ownership here
are just as strong as the reasons
which led the packers to buy the
yards from the former independent
owners ~.
Public ownership of the stockyards
would naturally lead to considerable
reform in the commission business
conducted there AS it is now specu-
lators in stockers and feeders control
the commission men At the South
st. Paul market two spectators or
cattle jockeys control over SO per
cent of the commission men who in
theory are supposed to represent the
farmer when he turns cattle over to
them for sale. And all the market
rules governing the transfer of pro-
perty thre are made not by law, not
by any public body, not by agreement
between farmers and buyers, but by
man combination A fair market
is absolutely impossible under such
conditions.
