WOMAN sH|IAIARY

MOTHERS, WIVES. SISTERS AND
DAUGHTERS or MEN WHO
SERVED IN WORLD WAR.

A Woman's Auxiliary to Eugene
McKibben Post No. Is of the Amer
lean Legion is now being organized.
Membership is limited to the moth
ers. wives. sisters and daughters of
men who served in the world war.
To date about fifty units have been
organized in South Dakota and the
organization has only just started.
The purposes of such an organiza-
ton are similar to those Of the Lee
gion and its possibilities are unlim-
tied. The men who carried the
rifles are not the only ones who
helped win the war, and 1t is for the
purpose of uniting the soldier-wo-
men that this movement is being
started.
The Auxiliary is formed on the
same plan as the legion. A petition
is now being circulated for char
ter and when the charter is ready,
applications for membership will be
received. The Auxiliary will have
all the privileges of the Legion, in
cluding the use of the new club
rooms for meetings. and will be as
sisted in every way In organization.
Announcement will be made as soon
as the charter is received and in the
meantime the officers OF the Legion
will be glad to give any information
concerning eligibility fox member
ship, etc., which may be desired.

Yankton. NOV 27--Fire id the
annex of the Tyler garage situated
in the alley between Douglas and
Walnut streets and directly back OF
fire department headquarters. at an
early hour in the morning caused a
loss of about $4,000.
The building, which was . small
one-story affair, and its contents,
among which were four automobiles
in for repairs or storage, were COM
pletely consumed
Just how the fire started is not
known. but it had gained such head
way when the department arrived
that the building was doomed and
the firemen devoted their time to
preventing the spreading ST the
blaze to adjoining buildings.

Memo, Nov 27.-At an early
hour In the morning the plant of
the Menno Light and Power com
pany was destroyed by fire. The
building being of wood, and oil
soaked, caused it to burn very rad
idly.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
with insurance to cover only part OF
the loss.
The fire was well under way when
discovered by those living near the
plant and the fire department was
not on the ground until 1t was un-
der great headway. However. they
saved other buildings and an eleva-
tor standing near.
The top blew out of gas tank
inside and went through the room,
landing on house top across the
railroad track, which was set on fire,
but quickly extinguished
There were Is feet OF water in
the water tower tank and pressure
was good. so the fire was kept away
from the big outside oil tank, which
supplies fuel for the oil-burning en-
gines. This probably prevented a
great explosion and spreading Of the
fire
The owner of the light plant Is
John Wahl, a retired farmer. but it
was rented to Fred Heinle, whose
brother-in-law. Chris Tlemmer, left
the plant at midnight. No one
knows the cause of the fire. The
plant with city wiring cost Mr.. Wahl
over $4,000.
1t may be possible to repair the
big engine, though the generators,
tanks and small engine and the
building are completely ruined.

CORNCROP
IsNOT PROFITABLE
FARMERS ESTIMATE COST or
PRODUCING CORN FER
BUsHEL.

Geddes, Nov. 27.--That South Da-
kota farmers not only fail TO realize
profit. but are actually losing thou
sands of dollars on the present corn
crop, ID the statement Of many prom
inent farmers in this locality.
The actual cost Of production is
far greater than the market price OF
corn, they say. One man conserv-
atively estimates it cost a renter 40
cents for every bushel he raised this
year. Local elevators are paying
only 40 cents for sheIled corn. This
means . loss of cents per bushel.
Taking the case of . renter who
hires part Of his help. this Accent
cost Of production includes the fol-
lowing items: Flowing. harrow
ing. planting and cultivating, 30
cents: two-fifths Of crop to land
owner for rent, 16 cents: picking,
10 cents; and sheIIing, 8 cents
These figures do not include cost ol
seed or depreciation on machinery
and II the farmer is . land owner
he pays taxes instead Of crop rent.
Many farmers have. planned to
make big money out Of corn BY feed
ing hogs and cattle II the recent
slump in live stock continues il may
deprive them OF this opportunity and
seems to leave the Dakota farmer
without any profitable outlet fol

HIS CAREER

LIFE OF LATE SIOUX FALLS,
PIONEER WAS REPLETE WITH
ROMANCE AND ACHIEVE

The following from the Sioux
Falls Argus Leader has reference tc
the passing of q man who frequent
ly visited his daughter. Mrs. C. E.
Olstad, and family In Madison:
Romance of the sea as typified
lin his career when he rose from ca
bin boy to captain, gold digger in
Australia, personally cognizant with
practically every prominent seaport
in the world and the distinction of
being the second man made mem
ber of Minnehaha Lodge No. S, a..
#. & A. M, marked the career of the
late Nels s. Johnson. one of the
pioneers of Sioux Falls who passed
away Nov. 10. at his home 40
North Duluth avenue.
The career of Nels johnson was
picturesque one, replete with in
terest and rewarded with the fruit
of his energy and honest ambition.
Born in poverty near the city of
Riscer, Norway, Augdst s. 1888, he
Joined the sea which he followed for
Is years. He took up his residence
in the United States in 1855 and
ever afterward was loyal construc=
tive American. Locating on land in
Iowa. in 1872 he came to Lincoln
county, s. d.. soon thereafter remov-
ing to Sioux Falls, where he ever
afterward made his home.
Mr.. johnson was industrious,
economical and scrupulously honest.
He was of that type of whom there
are too few, whose word was as
good as his bond: of whom he
strictest honesty, truth and dew ON
to his family and intimate friends
may be said to have been his rel
gion. He became well fixed in word
ly goods and gave much to eharit.
being largely the support of his par
ents and other relatives in Norway
in their old age. Many people In
Sioux Falls. some. now passed on,
were tided over periods of poverty
and distress through his quiet bene-
violence. Citizenship such as his,
leaves q lasting impression for good
upon any community.
''Mr. Johnson was a loyal menu

joined that order in 1874. His fun

GERMANY IS

that in her conduct of the war she
