PAY THE TEACHER AND SAVE
The SchOols-Somo Pointed Remarks
by Hon. Franklin X. Lane.

"If your Americanism is founded
upon intelligence (and it must be If
it Is going to live), you must have
somebody who can bring out Of the
young what is in them. 1t is not a
question OF pouring; 1t is a question
Of drawing. You cannot expect that
from a girl who gets $40 month.
Moreover, you have got to treat peo-
pie with respect and with dignity il
you are going to get the best out Of
them
'lWhat recognition 40 we give to
the teacher? What social status does
she have? We talk Of Americanism,
and there Is the person who Is at the
very heart and center Of American
ism. Upon her depends our future.
She can be made the greatest instru-
mentality for building up the right
spirit within the boy and girl in
America--the greatest Of all instru-
mentalities for Americanization.

teacher than all else combined, be-
cause she can SOW the seed in ground
that is fallow. And what status do
we give to her? With what dignity
do we treat her? What Difference
do we pay her? Socially, where is
she?
''If you love this count"y, if 70"
believe that you are good hmc"-

are the things for which most people
fight and that are Of most value. And
there is no better illustration Of that
than the city Of Washington, to which
people are drawn largely because Of
those intangible things, not the least
of which is our vanity, our love oe
distinction.
Just outside Of Chicago there is a
model country school. DO you know
that we do not give the children in
the country districts a fair chance?
I wanted. several years ago, to get

Stay BY State
Make Winning

Memo, April 22.-Reports from
the Wolf creek Mennonite colony,
some miles from here, are to the ef-
feet that the colonists have complet-
ed their small grain seeding. They
have in 700 acres of wheat and 800
acres of oats and speltz.
The members of this colony re-
fused to sell out during the war
when other South Dakota colonies
sold their holdings at only a part OF
what they were worth and moved
to Montana and the British north
west, where last year they were hard
hit by drouth.
The Wolf Creek colonists kept
their South Dakota land and produc-
ed all they could to assist in feeding
the world and now have been re-
warded for their foresight by seeing
their land increase in value to about
5000 an acre.
They expect this year to raise an.
other great amount of foodstuff to
further assist in feeding the hungry
of this and other nations.

LOSE LIVES IN
COLORADO BLIZZARD
THREE OF VICTIMS SHEEP HERD.
ERS, AND THEIR FLOCKS
PERISH WITH THEM.

Denver, Colo, April 22.-At least
six persons lost their lives in the
blizzard which ragged over Colorado
from Saturday to Monday, and many
others are reported missing. Three
of the dead are sheep herders and
their herds perished with them.
Nineteen other herds are missing and
their herders are believed to be lost
also.
The three herders whose bodies
were found were all killed southeast
of Trinidad. One of them, John
Sandavall, was lrozen to death while
standing upright against a small
sapling, seeking the pooor protection
from the storm offered by the tree.
The other two, Ramon Gallegos
and Pedro Mendoza, apparently had
jumped into drifts, hoping that the
snow would protect them from freez-
ing. When found they were in drifts
twenty feet deep.
Robert A. Lewis, a 60-year-old
negro evangelist, was found frozen to
death under a bridge near Brighton
where he had sought shelter from the
storm.
Lewis Brugger, 43 years old, coal
miner, was killed by stepping on a
live wire at Lafayette which had
been blown down by the storm.

KENYON ON STUMP
FOR JOHNSON
DECLARES NEED is A MAN IN
WHITE HOUSE WHO WILL
SMASH PROFITEERS.

Plainfield, N. j., April 22.-Sena-
tor Kenyon, of Iowa, speaking at a
meeting here in behalf of Senator
Johnson's candidacy for the republi-
can presidential nomination, declar-
ed the greatest need today in the
White House is man who will
smash the profiteers."
"The peoule are being robbed as
they never before have been robbed
in the history of this country" he
added. Every shoe bought today
representeds 40 per cent going to the
profiteers, and yet people complain
that there is unrest in the country.
Unrest will continue until the profi-
teer is pailed."
The extent to which bonds have
been issued by the government has
contributed in part to the increased
cost of living, he charged. "If there
had been a fair tax on war profits -
he said. there would have been nc
need of issuing bonds to the extent
to which we have"

Sioux Falls, April 22.-Two cases
where the defendants were charged
with selling and shipping spoiled
eggs in violation of the interstate
shipping act and the pure food law
were in federal court.
c. D. Thompson of Veblen, S D.,
was arraigned before District Judge
J. D. Elliott. He pleaded guilty and
was given the minimum fine, $25,
minus the costs.
Albert Boyer, proprietor of a
creamery in Momridge, came to Sioux
Falls to face similar charge. 1t
was not believed probable by repre-
sentatives of the United States mar

raigned. Boyer, it was said, would
probably be released on bail and
have hearing at the Aberdeen term
of federal court next month.
Charged with having shot and kill

migratory bird act. Ralph Cavan-
augh, of Bristol, was fined $25 by
Judge Elliott. This is the third case

SEIZE ENTITIES
FOR SHIPMENTS
CATTLE OWNERS ALONG PLATTE
LINE SAID TO BE GETTING
DESPERATE.

Mitchell, April 22.-Losses to cat
tlemen along the Platte line of the
Milwaukee railroad have been severe
the past few weeks due to the short
age of cars in which to ship. The sit
uation has improved but little since
the railroads went back into private
ownership and it may be months be-
fore there will be any appreciable
improvement, it was stated.
There is at the present time un-
filled requests for cattle cars at all
the principal points along the Platte
line. There are 95 cars wanted at
Platte, 60 at Geddes, SO at Lake An
des, As at Revillo, and 90 at Wag-
ner. At Platte it was said the stu
alton became so bad that some farm
ers who drove their cattle in there
to ship them out were obliged to
wait three weeks before they could
ship, during which time the market
dropped and the feeding at Platte
was excessive
AT Fedora one shipper had bunch
of cattle waiting and happened to dis
cover six empty cars which were or
dered to another point for another
shipment. He "commandeered" them
after his stock had been held until
he had lost 81 hundred on them
and Notwithstanding orders from the
dispatcher, he declined to unload but
stayed with the shipment in the same
cars until they reached a market.

SHIPPING STOCK
BY RIVER ROUTE
HOGS REFUSE TO EAT ON LONG
MISSOURI RIVER TRIP.

Sioux City, Iowa, April a.
r. w. Jones and H. p. Leitzke,
big ranches southeast of Platte, S.
D., arrived on the Sioux City market
this morning after travelling eight
days down the turbulent Missouri
and then being forced to complete
the trip from Yankton, S. D., by rail
over the Milwaukee railroad Their
joint consignments consisted Of 100
head of hogs and II cattle.
After waiting since December for
railway cars, the two farmers decid-
ed to market by river" The boat,
A. B. Dauglas, captained by w. B..
Watt, was chartered and at 4 o'clock
April 8 the stock were driven on the
steamer near Platte. After being
hung up on several sand bars for
short periods they arrived at Spring
field, s. d., Sunday. At that place
their boat was washed high up on a
bar and they were unable to dislodge
it until the following Saturday. Yes
terday they arrived at Yankton after
being on the river eight days during
which time only IL hours were spent
travelling. 1t was decided their pros
poets of getting through" were SO
poor that they would complete the
trip by rail Cars were available for
immediate shipment and no time was
wasted in loading.
During the period the consignment
was en- route the weather was ex-
ceptionally bad and the hogs Jared
poorly. At times they refused to eat
and when they were taken from the
boat at Yankton much feed was still
on board, although the hogs were
practically starving. Under ordinary
conditions porkers continue to gain
while making river trip, Mr.. Jones
said.
Mr.. Jones operates a 900-acre farm
and Mr.. Leitzke has 443 acres. Both
tracts are situated along the banks
of the Missouri. The former had SO
hogs that averaged 307 pounds and
sold for $14.50, while the latter
cashed go hogs that averaged 277
pounds and commanded $14.5O
Each had few cattle Both are still
holding approximately 100 cattle

time. and it appears hard to get bids

In fact, the situation appears to be
