The future cannot be placed in the hands
OF the military, unless-and we hope it may
not happen-we are to engage in another
war. The burden of aviation for the future
is to be taken up by those whose economic
interests can best be served by aeronautics.

This Restless Age.

If you take a position along a
popular motor road on a pleasant
Sunday, the principal impression you
set is of the intense restlessness of
these times.
The people who are scrambling to
outspeed each other, in the words
of a popular song, don't know
where they are going, but they are
on their way" They hurry and rush
TO get to a certain city, and once
they get there, begin to hurry and
rush to get somewhere else. People
have no time for thought, reading
or intelligent talk. The only thing
that can satisfy their vacant minds
is to keep in motion. At least, so
says the pessimist.
And yet many people use this
activity to their advantage. They
don't enjoy going out on a motor
trip so much for mere motion, as to
observe the country. They get ideas
as to what other people in the same
line of business are doing. The OBJ
servant man will gain more in a so
mile ride, than the merely restless
fellow in trip across the country.

HISTORIC PROFITEERS.

In Rome, it seems the people are
comforting themselves for the high
cost of living by rejecting that the
profiteer is Of ancient origin. A
historian recalls the celebrated proc
lamation issued by Emperor Diocle-
tian. in 800 A. D., in which, after
railing at the profiteers for not re-
specting his price fixing, in despera-
ton the emperor advises his people
to boycott the dealers in regular
present day fashion.
So while the people admit there is
nothing new under the sun, the Ro-
man profiteer in 1920 takes fresh
courage and goes his ancient pred
ecessor several hundred per cent
Better The old document proves to
be as good propaganda for him as
our own high cost of living investi-
cations appear to be for the profiteer
at home.
The effects of the boycott of the
year 800 were nil. Selfishness was
too nimble to be caught by its mesh
es. In some way we do not seem to
have advanced much since Dicole-
tian's day.-New York Tribune.

AN APPEAL TO THE. WOMEN.

Fellows, there's nothing to the
campaign by Harding and Cox. They
had just as well quit and save their
lungs. The prohibitionists have put
out a campaign picture showing
tteir candidate, the Rev. Aaron
Watkins, hanging out the family
washing, and if that doesn't capture
100000 feminine votes and lot
Of withdrawing votes something's
dead wrong.
Mrs. Watkins left home to attend
tie aid society. While she was there
the reverand did the washing, and
about the time he got ready to put
it on the line, the photographer ar
rived, and took his picture hanging
towel on the line, his mouth full
OF clothes pins.
The reverand candidate for presi-
dent is baldheaded, save for a fringe
down around the horizon. 1t seems
from the picture appearing in the
New York Times, that nature played
a joke by taking the hair that should
rave gone on top of his head and
making eyebrows of It. Anyway. he
has pretty decent head of hair
above his eyes. But that doesn't
matter. He might have no hair at
all or be as woolly as the wild man
from Borneo, and still appeal to the
sentimental because of his tender
heart. 1t goes without saying that
a man who does the family washing

Tried to swipe Lizzie From Paul

lTleu 10 SNlpe IILAe FROM raul.
While down at Chicago last week

with some auto thieves who tried to

ing that he was still in Gods country
back in old Iowa, he Just stepped
out of his Ford as he had always
been used to doing around home,
leaving it standing in front of his
friends residence at 39th and Wal

friends that it was hardly safe to
leave car out on the street even in
broad day light, he looked out and
discovered that some one had evil

turned around and left facing in the
opposite direction. Paul then became
suspicious and removed the switch
key and turned down the needle
valve of the carburetor, shutting off
the gas. A short time after. upon
hearing a peculiar noise outside the
folks saw a trio of ruffains trying
to start the car, which, of course,
was impossible with the gas shut off.
After being driven off, the same
gang came back for the third time,
one fellow getting in behind the
wheel, while the rest cranked for
dear life, and had they been able to
start the car they would have got
ten away before anyone from the
house could have stopped them; as
it was, they skipped out leaving an
extra switch key in the car as a
souvenir. Realizing someone in

he did, Paul decided to leave it
there, consequently he traded it for

The number of health centers in

GAME LAWS FAILURES.
Some Suggest That the Land Owner
Own the Game on 1t.

In some states, for dollar or two,
the state issues licenses which in eff
feet permits the hunter to overrun
the farmers lands. In such states the
farmer first drives the game birds
away If he can. He is glad il rats,
owls and other vermin will do it for
him.
In other states the farmer posts his
land against hunters, but often that
fails him. Under our present game
laws. which are absolutely dismal
failures so far as perpetuating game
is concerned, the farmer can't kill
the game on his farm and sell it for
food, nor can he breed it for food
purposes. Think of that in this civil
lied age; prohibition against the
production of food.
The fatal point is that the state
assumes ownership of game. And this
assumption is causing our game to
gradually disappear.
Wake up! Fill our woods and
fields and wild places again with
pheasants, grouse, quail, and prairie
chickens.
Make the land owner of the game
On it. Permit him and his family to
trap, breed and raise the birds as
he raises poultry, and let him freely
sell them as food. Today vermin and
winter storms kill more birds than
all the hunters. The farmer finding
game birds highly profitable, will de-
stroy the vermin and feed the birds
in winter when necessary. In a few
years, protected birds that are at
liberty will fly off and multiply in
every corner of the land.

ABOUT RURAL CHURCHES

In studying the surveys returned
interesting to note thpt the country
churches are more than holding their
own in the majority of cases. In fact
it is the exception and not the rule
and they are very active, showing
small, but interested congregations
and live, working Sunday schools.
While the rural church is still the big
problem of church life, the condition
in South Dakota seems to be encour-
aging and indicative of spirit that
is not prevalent over the entire
country.
