PLATTENBERG DELIVERS
GREAT LECTURE.

Charles Howard Plattenberg ap-
peared at the Scenic Theatre Mon
day evening and delivered his lee
ture as the closing number Of the
Kadoka Commercial Club Lecture
Course, and fair sized crowd was
present and listened to one of the
best lectures ever delivered in Ka-
doka.
Mr. Plattenberg spoke on 10y
atty to the Home Town" and in
his able handling of the subject
demonstrated a close study of the
question and an ability to see and
present facts and figures in a
manner that was both interesting
and instructive. He is an able
speaker with pleasing stage pre-
sence and presents his thoughts
in a manner that keeps his audi
ence in a good humor all the time
The big thought brought fore
IDLY to the attention of his audi
ence was the fact that every bus
mess man and every farmer owed
a debt to their home community
that could not be paid in dollars
and cents, but could be repaid by
boosting and helping along with
the things that made for better
and bigger community. Citing
Russia as an example of but two
classes of people Mr.. Plattenberg
bore down on the fact that in the
United States there is the great
Middle Class that occupy the
farms and small towns, and that
upon this class rests the security
of our nation, and his idea was
the necessity of making the Homo
Community attractive and keeping
the young people from emigrating
to the cities.
In the keeping the young people
to the rural communities Mr.. Pla-
ttenberg said that it became nec-
essary for the. communities to
have Schools, Churches and places
of clean enjoyable entertainment,
and to make possible the having
of these things he brought for
ward the necessity of trading with
the home merchants, and the
buying at home of every article
that could possibly be purchased
at home. Keeping the money at
home for the upbuilding of the
local community was his slogan
instead of sending it away fol
inferior goods and the building W
of the big cities, and the making
of new multi-millionaires out OF
n class of people that have ne
thoughts or cares for the rura
people excepting so far as theil
earnings help to swell the coffer'
of the Mail Order Houses.

The Story OF Admiral KOlchak's

The Story OF Admiral KOlchak's
Death has at last come from Sib-
eria. After his army gave way to
the Russian Reds the AdmiraPs
troops as was previously report
ed, surrendered him to the Bolshe-
wiki near Irkutsk. Then there
was a rumor that the Admiral
was likely to be rescued by a
nearby band of Cossacks and the
Bolsheviki decided TO take no cha
noes. From two American officers
who were in Irkutsk at the time
comes this report: At three o'cl-
ock on the morning Of February
Tth the Admiral was awakened
and told that he would be shot at
5. He arose, dressed himself in
full uniform, drank a cup Of tea,
and wrote two letters. At 5 o'cl-
ock he was taken into the Jail
yard, where he was stripped to
the waist Asked if he wished to
be bilndfOlded, he answered No {;
snapped at attention, and faced
his eXecutors-twenty riflemen.
At the command they pulled their
triggers and Kolchak fell to the
ground, pierced by twenty bullets.
ne executors were then told whom
they had killed, and they cheere J.
While kolchak was successful
neither as civil administ,ator
nor as a military leader, his inte-
gritty is unimpugned. He did his
best for his country and died like
p hero, and it was no fault Of his
that the Reds are triumphant in
Russia and Siberia.

THE TEACHER

The teachers is the nobiest
stunt a mortal can pursue; and
yet today we see her hunt for
something els to do She loves
her high, uplifting trade, and
quits it with a sigh, but she
can't live on what she's paid. and
can't afford to die. For years she
studies night and day. to qualify
TO teach and we behold her on
her way, and say she is a peach.
We hand her nosegays when they
are cheap, and call her Butter
cup, and say the blessed school
marms keep our bulwarks right
side up Without her this en-
lightened age would sadly bc be
reft; she guards the priceless her
itage our we'll known fathers
left. We hand her taffy with a
spade, but when she makes com
plant about the measly wage she's
paid, we sweat some blood and
faint. We may confess to spend
thrift ways hold miser greed a
crime; but when the schoolmarm
asks a raise, we're tightwads, every
time. And so she's going from the
school to seek some other trade,
to carve her way with some new
tool, corkscrew or spade. She
cannot thrive on nosegays sweet,
or flourish on hot air, for she must
have a prune to eat and decent
rags to wear.-Walt Mason.
