New French Premier Announces
Policy-Sure of Support
in Chamber.

PARIS, January % (by the Associ-
ated Press) s)-Maintenance of "the al
liances that have saved the world"
will be one Of the chief aims of the
new cabinet in France, Premier Mil
lerand announced in his ministerial
declaration of policy today.
The declaration began with grace
full reference to Georges Clemenceau.
the retiring premier. NJ Millerand
pointed out that he had been called
Ito the formidable honor of succeed
ing a ministry presided over by a
great patriot, who, in the eyes of the
world. is the incarnation of victory
The declaration continued:
THE execution of ali the clauses of
the treaty of Versailles will be law
to US. We shall pursue it without vio-
lence or feebleness-with unshakable
firmness. 1t includes the close and
cordial maintenance of the alliances
which have saved the world. Without
our allies. those of the first as of the
last hour, what trial would not have
have been the fate of our allies if
France had not served four long
years as the cover to civiliation?"

PARIS, January 21.-As leader Of
the republican bloc" Alexandra Mil
lerand. the new premier. is sure of
overwhelming support in the chamber
of deputies and probably will follow
much the same policies as those of NJ.
Clemenceau both at home and abroad
The most striking feature of his cab
met is the number of new men and
specialists in it. Out of thirteen
names all but three have been al
most unknown hitherto in govern
mental combinations.
With regard to specialists, NJ
L'Hopiteau, the minister. of justice, is
a lawyer; NJ. Isaac, minister of GEM
merce, is a business man and former
president of the Lyon Chamber of
Commerce; NJ. Marhal, minister of
finance. is prominent Partisan bank
er, and NJ. Sarraut. minister of the
colonies. is former governor of
Indo-China. Well Informed observers
say that this tendency toward new
blood is due largely to the desire
of the chamber, as expressed in the
election of Paul Deschanel as presi-
dent. NJ Clemenceau failed because
of his desire to continue governing
year after year with the same subor-
dinates.

STATE PARK BOARD
Holds Meeting in Custer and Considers
Matters With Regard Develop
ing and Improving Park.

The Custer State Park Board and Sec.
retary of the board, Percy H. Helm, to-
gethef with State Game Warden He'd
rick, met in Custer Friday Of last week
and considered a number of mat.
lers with regard to developing aud
improving the Park. They decided
among other things not to make any
leases for stock this season in that por-
ton of the Park north of French creek
for the reason that the elk and buffalo
are propogatng in such numbers that
the range will be fully required for them.
Otherwise they are likely to meet the
same trouble of having starving elk on
their hands as they are This year in the
Yellowstone Park. The game depart
ment has not yet planned upon the dis
position to be made Of the increasing
elk, but there appears to be ready de-
mand for all that it seems best to dis
pose Of
The fence surrounding the Park will
be improved and completed The ques-
tion of an up-to-dale telephone line was
considered and the Board expects to
have one constructed as soon as the state
highway through the Park is fully sur
veyed and cleared.

night to spend a day there with the in

TO BE VERY ANIMATED
Wood -Lowden Fight Will be Lively in South
Dakota, With Both Claiming
State Victory.
BY ALFRED BURKHoLDER.


The South Dakota republicans who
are divided as to a choice for president,
some supporting General Leonard Wood
and others Governor Lowden, are or
ganziug for the purpose Of wagng an
aggressive campaign for their iayorie,
with the object of securing plurality
presidential preference vote at the Sonth
Dakota primary election, to be held
March 23
While the supporters of Governor
Lowden are claiming that large major
ity Of the republicans of the state favor
the Illinois mar as the party nominee
for president, the supporters of General
Wood dispute these claims and make
equally strong claims for their own can
didate
1t is predicted in some quarters that
because General Wood was endorsed by
the republican state convention at Pierre
on December ,, and that some Of the
most influential republicans of the state
have espoused his candidacy, he will
prove strong in the running, and that
the outcome Of the contest between
himself and Governor Lowden for the
capture Of South Dakota's support in
the republican national convention will
not be definitely known until the votes
cast at the primary election are counted
and announced.
While the contest between the sup

INCREASED INCOME FROM
THE NATIONAL FORESTi

The largest increase ever made in
single year is seen in the receipts from
the National Forests for the fscal year
ending June 80, 1919, which were great
er by $l73, asa than in the previous
twelve months The receipts totaled
S4, 36S, Ala, says Chief Forester II S.
Graves in his annual report just made
public. To this total the grazing busi-
uess contributed more than 81, 600, 600
and the receipts from timber were some
what more than 81 100000.
Under act of Congress, nearly q mil
lion and a half dollars Of National For
est receipts were turned over to the
various states in which the Forests are
located, for school and road purposes,
during 1919.
The Rocky Mountain district of the
Forest Service contributed S7Q5, 73S OF
the total received from all National For
ests of the country. OF this amount, re-
ceipts from the National Forests of the
six states comprising the District were
as follows: Colorado, S406, 1875; Wyom-
ing, Sl57,94S; South Dakota, S67, 1877 ;
Nebraska, Sl4,4O4 Minnesota, Sll,777,
and Michigan, $3.50.
The Forester points out that while the
receipts for 1919 were l75 per cent OF
those for 1915, the cost Of operating has
remained practically stationary. Some
new ire funds were appropriated but
did not become available until the last
of July. Uuless higher salaries are paid
the foresters and more money provided
for protection, the maintenance of an
efficient organization will be imposs BILE.

chase by the State. That those ranches
purchased we're offered to the State for

more such ranches offered for sale than
money that could be used for that pur

defense of pie by actually determin-
ing the gastric response to it and
analogous foods in the healthy human
stomach. Direct comparisons of a

pies were handled more readily than

it may be stated that the average gas

Warns Housewives
Against Use of Can
ming Compounds

The United States Department of
Agriculture warns housewives against
the use of any preservative powder or
canning compound in home canning.
Their use encourages careless and I'M
cleanly work, and in large amounts
they may have serious effects upon
digestion and health. 1t is entirely
practicable to put up fruits and vege-
tables so that they will keep indefin-
itely by processing the products with
heat. There is no reason for risk by
the use of canning powders.
Boric or salicylic acid is the basis
of most canning compounds on the
market to-day The directions on the
packages usually call for one teaspoon
of the compound to each quart of fruit
or vegetable. The use of boric and
salicylic acid, since they may be harm
full to health, is regarded by the De-
partment of Agriculture as violation
of the Federal Food and Drugs Act
The laws of many States also prohibit
the sale of foods containing boric or
salicylic acid.
