Out Of the Question.

The two Elton sisters, age thirty and
thirty-two and very successful business
women, live next door to the Smith
sisters, about fifty and flfty-two, who
are also retired and given to the Occu-
pations Of crocheting and quilt piec-
ing. The Elton sisters speak Of them
selves as "old maids" and the Smith
sisters as "pesky old maids" in order
to distinguish between them. Also
they are given to much plying of the
second-class ladies. -...-. ......
But the other evening one OF the
Elton sisters, clad in a bungalow
apron, was out sprinkling the lawn.
As she moved around the house she
heard the Smiths in conversation.
Eyes, sister, age has its compensa-
tions," one was saying. "Now look
at those girls next door. They no
sooner get home than they get into
those aprons, so scanty that they are
immodest. OF course, they're just
kids, but still"
That was enough for Miss Elton.
With+.a rush she. was in the house.
"Oh, Grace" she told her sister,
breathlessly, "those Smiths are real
nice. We've got to stop calling them
;pesky old maids"
And now generously the Eltons
speak. of them as 1.-THE other old

To Enforce
Education Law

Aberdeen, Jan. 26.-State Sher-
lff John j. Shanks, has undertaken a
to enforce the South Da-
kota Americanization law, more gen.
orally known as the compulsory edu-
cation law, which provides that all
persons between the ages of 16 and
81, inclusive, who are not mentally
or physically disqualified and do not
possess the ability to speak, read or
write the English language, as is re-
quired for the completion of the fifth
grade in the public schools of the
state, shall attend public evening
school classes for at least eight hours
a week during the time the classes of
the proper grade shall be in session,
within five miles of the place of resi-
dence of the pupil.
While in this city enroute to Nc
Pherson county, where he will inves.
tigate several complaints regarding
violation of this law, Sheriff Shanks
made it known that he was starting q
campaign to enforce the law and thai
other counties in the northern part
of the state may be visited before he
returns to Pierre.

JOHNSON RETURNS
To WASHINGTON
DAKOTA SENATOR STILL
KEEPS HIS FUTURE PLANS
IN THIS DARK.

Sioux City, Jan. 26.-Senator E. s.
johnson, Of Yankton, S. D., who left
Washington 10 days ago just before
the vote was taken to determine the
democratic leadership in the senate,
returned to the national city.
The minority leadership in the SEN
ate has not yet been decided. Hoke
Smith did not vote in the contest be-
tween Senators Hitchcock and Under
wood for leadership, and Senator
Johnson was absent. This resulted
in tie, Johnson favors Hitchcock
and Smith is for Underwood, it has
been reported.
When the contest is reopened, the
votes of both Johnson and Smith will
not determine the leadership unless
they change their minds. Another
tie vote could be determined only by
the vote of Carter Glass, who has not
yet been officially seated and who in
all probability will support Under
wood for minority floor leader.
Friends of Senator Johnson in
Sioux City, who talked with him
briefly while he was here, said that
he gave no indication whether he
would be a candidate for reelection.
He has intimated on several occas-
sions that he will not make an eff
fort to be returned to congress.
