REDFlELD SERVICE MEN
HAVE A WORD TO SAY

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. 12.-Indications
We're received in Mitchell yesterday
that there viii probably be some OPP
position developed to the movement
started recently by Coacher post No. IS,
the local branch of the American Le-
gion, to have Lieut.. Col. William A.
Halle. of Aberdeen. appointed as ad-
jutant genera for South Dakota to
immediately succeed w. A. Morris, of
RedEe!d, who holds that position.
The opposition to the plan is embod-
led in a set of resolutions adopted at
a recent meeting of Clay Kiser post,
No. 80, of Redfeld. These resolutions
set forth the fact that General Morris
is now engaged in compiling a complete
record of the South Dakota men who
served in the past war, and asks that
he be allowed to retain his present
position until his term expires on
March 4. 1921, so that he may have
timeto eornrlete III yc-l-yhic he
has started.
The resolutions further state, how
ever. that the members OF Clay Kiser
post would favor having Colonel Halle
appointed as adjutant general after the
expiration of the present term Of Cen
eraI Morris.

sheep. lie would ne able to steer them as
he pleased, and send them down to earth
IN just exactly the spot he selected. The
Germans idea was that it was a tre1nen-
dous waste to send shells through the air
by means of explosives. Their idea was
to put all their explosives into the shells.
and then move the shells to their destina-
ton by gasoline power.
Il prepare the plans they asked for.
OF course, each one of the air
planes, with its engine, would be blown
up when the bomb exploded. The whole
thing was not much more expensive than
firing long n shells, and it would be
far more sure n far more deadly.
my plans were accepted by the author
tiles, and then the war office made its
great mistake. It decided to make the air.
planes itself. The war office bungled
along with the manufacture of the planes
for many months, and when they had
finally turned out q few machines, they
found that they could not be depended
upon.
In the summer of 1918, three months
before the armistice, they came to me and
gave me a huge order for the wireless
steered ~airplanes. I had Just got ready
to manufacture them in wholesale GUAM
titles when the end Of the war came.
These airplanes would have worked

have been like shooting huge shells hun

SCHOOLS ARE BEING
VERY BADLY NEGLECTED.

Pierre, S. d.. Jan. l3.-The problem
of what control of country schools the
state educational department has a
right 10 assume. or should take in re-
lation to the schools which have OPP
Grated chiefly on state aid, is con-
fronting the department. In 20 districts
in Mcpherson county a survey shows
that a total of s4,34O.6O state aid has
been supplied, While only s2,219.07 has
been supplied locally.
The survey shows a very generally
poor condition in educational matters
in these districts. The population is
chiefly what is known as German
RUSSIAN and il appears to be difficult
TO work up any interest in the adults
for educational matters for the chill
dren. The local school officers re-
fuse to act, and they make no great
effort TO require compulsory school
attendance, ever fail TO supply the le-
gal terms of school for children de-
string to attend.
The results of the survey for the
two year period show that not a single
teacher employed was certificated-
instead We're only those with permits,
meaning inexperienced teachers. -Four
out of the 20 districts failed to supply
school facilities 70 the pupils on
which they draw their state appor-
tionment. None of them produced an
eighth grade graduate. The show
ing of school buildings revealed val
uations from $3.50 to but $500. with
equipment of from $40 to 500, includ-
ing all the furniture.
Although it is not shown in the
report made by the clerks it is un-
derstood that most of the schools
were built and equipped about so or
more years ago, in this settlement, and
are still used for the modern day
needs.

GRANDPARENTS SEEK
POSSESSION OF CHILDREN

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Jan. 12.-Mr. and
Mrs. A. Zorba, of Herrick, S. D., par
ents OF Mrs. Hazel Euikart, whose two
children were saved from death from
poison administered to them by their
mother in Chicago, the case attracting
nation wide interest at the time, have
been in Detroit, Mich, for some time.
Information received in South Da-
kota indirectly from them is to the
effect that they have instituted steps
to have their daughter released from
the state hospital for the insane at
lnnia, Mich and at the same time are
making efforts to secure custody of
the two Luokart children. Shirley and
Edna, it being their intention to bring
the children to their South Dakota
home if the courts award them to their
custody.
The children have been placed in
the German Protestant HON for or
phans in Detroit by their father. Roy
Luikart. now employed as a real es-
tate salesman in Highland Park, a
suburg of Detroit. The father will re-
sist the efforts of his wife's parents to
secure custody of the children, ac-
cordtng to a statement nae by him.
He is quoted as having said;
Il shall be very glad if Mr.. and Mrs.
Zorba can obtain the release of my
wife from Ionia. but | shall fight to the
end to retain the custody of my chill
dren. They are being we'll cared for
and l feel sure they are in better hands
than they would be if | had hired a

troit in the spring TO live. and then l
