CHIVALRY AND HOSPITALITY
OR RULES, WHICH?

There has been much discussion
of the girls basket ball game here
last Friday night, most Of it rath-
er one-sided. It isn't an impor-
tant matter, and there has prob
ably been enough discussion of it
already But we do want to sug-
gest that the question isn't one IF
what the umpire may do under the
rules. OF course he has autocratic
powers. But it does seem to us
that there are considerations of
courtesy and hospitality, consider
ations of chivalry, if you please,
especially when the visiting team is
composed of young ladies, and
from a neighboring town that has
always shown us the utmost cour-
tesy and friendliness, that should
give them a little the best of the
decisions rather than the reverse.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE STARTS
WITH A RUSH ;

As the opening gun in the sale
of Christmas the committee of
Mitchell, headed by Mrs. A. u.
Hoon, staged a sale of Health
Bonds to all th local business firms
and professional men. These bonds
are in the denomination of S5,
$40, S25, $50 and 500 and are eq-
uivalent to an equal amount of
penny seals.
The workers discovered that
these bonds readily sold with the
result that tonight every place of
business in the city has Health
Bond of some denomination posted
in his window. This is guaran-
tee against further solicitation.
Dawson County is striving to
win the pennant or banner given
by the South Dakota Public
f:eaith Association to the town
or county having the largest per
capita sale. The money raised thru
the sale of Health Bonds and Seals
will be used to finance the county
nurse and to institute new lines
of Public Health work.

The indications are that Jack

this week busily engaged In ar
ranging the cases and preparing
the docket for the adjourned term
of circuit court which will be-held
In Kadoka on the 18th day of jan
uary, 1921. Mr.. Pease informed a
representative that there would be
about twenty-five cases appearing
on the docket and of this number
some five or six are criminal cases
and the balance are civil suits.
We understand that an effort will
be made on the part of the States
Attorney and Circuit Judge to
bring every case TO trial at this
term of the court and clean up
all the cases now pending.

FLOWING ALL THE YEAR

A trip to the farm of the Great
Western Sugar Co, just east of
Belle Fourche will prove an eye
to many. They have accom-
plished a large amount of blowing
this fall, and these days while the
ground is frozen until noon, they
are using twelve big horses on a
three ploW gang and are able to
turn over several acres of ground
during the afternoon. Beet growing
requires a proper preparation of
the soil, and the one of the most
important things is fell plowing.
hence the ploWing during every
hour the ground is not frozen.

MAKING THE WORLD BETTER

i ne S0-C6il6Q moral ref0rmefS
Of the state are putting their ar
NOR of righteousness on, and ex-
pect to have it bright and shin
ing by January 1st. A few days
later they will be in Pierre in
force to welcome the legislature
when it assemblies. They have an
ambitious program in South Da-
kota and in the nation. Reformers
are meeting in Washington to
launch drive on Congress for
legislation to improve the morals
of the Nation. Most of the reform
societies and many church organ
izations plan to to unite in the
movement:
They regard this session of
Congress, the announcement
reads, "as unusually favorable for
promotion of moral reforms as
as there is no election for two
years and party measures will ma
turally be postponed until Capitol
and White House are in the hands
of one party. leaving only left
over appropriation bills to divide
the time with such non-partisan
welfare legislation as reformers
desire" The chief items in the
legislative programme are:
Federal censorship of motion
pictures.
Prohibition of gambling.
Sunday closing law for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Uniform marriage, divorce and
anti-poligamy amendment.
Extension of the Iowa injuction
law for regulating red light dis
tricts to every state in the Union
Extension of Prohibition by leg
islative act to Americans abroad
in countries where the United
States has extra err,torial iuris-
diction.
A drive throughout the country
for better morals.
This program Includes a cam
paign for restoration and improve
ment of Bible reading in schools,
and homes, posting of the Ten
Commandments In schools and In
courts and IN churches: institu-
tions of a training sehp,,l for mor-
al reformers; preparation OF a
standardized reform literature In
many languages; a special infor-
nation department. TO, women
voters in all lands, n charge of
woman lawyers.
The reformers wana C2:igrcss to
control the motion picture indus
try after regulative principles sim
liar TO those exercised in control
ing the banks and railroads. This
was attempted just prior to the
outbreak of the war but was
dropped when war legislation alb
sorhed all attention.
Gambling would be hit under au-
thority of the interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution. The re-
formers intend to prevent if they
can interstate transmission of gam
bling messages and interstate
transportation of gambling mach
ines and devices. Newspapers in
Chicago, for instance, could not
obtain messages of race track odds
in New York or any other state.

IN THE
CHRISTMAS TREES

Several times during the past
week we have seen automobiles
and other vehicles in Philip load
led with Christmas trees. 1t makes
the heart of he mere newspaper
man leap, because this means JOY
TO lot of the kiddies of Haakon
county. The man who harvests
a shapely green tree somewhere
along the Cheyenne river to be
transplanted to some home in this
locality on Christmas Eve is real
aenefactor of humanity.
And just at this season of the
year the gathering of Christmas
trees is the greatest harvest in the
country. Literally train loads of
green trees are cut in our north
ern woods, some of them in our
s,ssrTn sss,ssTTn Black Hills, and shipped TO
the cities to make the hearts of
children glad.
What would thousands of kid
dies over this great land of our
do without Christmas tree? And
incidentally, it might be admitted
more than one of the grownups
of the nation, sometimes with a
faraway look in their eyes, recall
ing the days of their youth when
December rs was the brightest
time in life, and the family hearth
the lovliest place imaginable,
would register a deep toned pro-
test if hey felt that the time hon.
bred custom of Christmas trees
vas to be abandoned. But lest
this notion go abroad, right here
and now be it understood that no
less powr than the United States
government through one impor-
tant branch of it's system, has
FIRMLY and steadfastly set its foot
down upon so heartless a plan and
the Christmas trees is still to ra-
date its JOY through many An Am
erican home on the great natal
day.
The United States uses annual
~ between four million and five
alillion Christmas trees, according
to the estimate of the forest SER
vice, United States department of
agriculture. This equals approx
mately the combined consumption
of England, Scotland and Wales,
and is about 25 per cent greater
than that of Germany. The Christ
mas tree bears practically the
same fruit the countryover, but
The variety of the tree itself varies
according to locality. The fir is
undoubtedly the Christmas tree par
excellnce, especially in the north
eastern and lake states, on account
of its long horizontal spreading
springy branches, and deep green
fragrant foliage which persists
longer than that of any other ever
green.
On the Great Lakes "the Crist-
mas shin bringing greenery from
the upper peninsular of Michigan
to Chicago or Detroit is usually
one of the latest events in navi-
cation each winter. In the north
eastern and lake states Balsam fir
furnishes the bulk of the Christ
mas tree trade. In the south the
Fraser fir is the favorite. In Col
orado and other Rocky mountain
states, fir, though abundant, is
difficult Of access and the lodge
pole pine and occasionally the
Douglas fir and Englemann spruce
are used. On the Pacific coast the
Christmas tree is often the white
fir. Spruces vie with frs in poru-
larity as Christmas trees, but as a
rule in the south and west they
occur at high attitudes which
make them difficult to get.

over the Prohibition convention
held recently at Lincoln, Neb., and
in this capacity was pronounced an
unqualified success.
Miss Brehm was particularly 1T

At the recent Prohibition con-
vention there was some talk OF

dent or vice president and thus
giving her more honor. but it was
finally decided to make her per-
manent chairman instead. Hell

losing out. Scouts went out to

had retired and refused to get up
to vote. Not so the women; they
not only came but they got their
daughters up to come with them.
One woman is reported to have said
to her young son: Run over and
tell Mary and Helen to get up and
come over here right away. Tell
them If they don't come they shall
