DID HIS VERY BEST.

A returned soldier and his sweet
heart called on judge to marry them
The judge married them, and, appar,,
emily satisfied with his work, he said
to Vic: ."Salute the BRIDE" For an
instant the groom was flustered. Then
he took two steps to the rear, came to
a distinct halt, clicked his heels to-
gether and gave Mrs. Vic one of the
"doughboys' finest.'' "Oh, well, l
guess that will have to do" sighed the
judge as he signed the license.-Argo-

THE REMEDY,

He used to get three bucks day
About ten years ago;
And strange as it may seem today
He saved a little dough.
But strive at present as he may
He can't make both ends meet.
The profiteer stands in the way,
His game he can not beat.
A Sunday lid for which he used
To pay three iron men,
He can not purchase anywhere
A penny under ten.
The pair Of shoes he bought for three
Has skidded up to nine;
It even costs him fifteen cents
To get decent shine.
A suit once sold for twenty-five
Is now marked forty-four;
All other goods have aeroplaned
Around a clothing store.
Eggs eighty cents a dozen now
That used to be dime,
And sugars gone to twenty cents,
It simply is crime.
Meanwhile the greedy profiteer
Grows holder every day;
Nor does it seem to worry him
What people think, or say.
And so it goes, the workingman
Has got to be the "goat,"
And yet he has the remedy
To change it all-the vote.

THE CALF PATH.

Once through the primeval wood
A calf went home, as good calves
should.
But made a trail all bent askew,
A crooked trail, as all calves do.
Since then three hundred years have
fled,
And I infer the calf is dead.
But still he left behind a trail
And thereby hangs my moral tale.
The trail was taken up next day
By lone dog that passed that way;
And then wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail Ger vale and steep.
And drew the flock behind him too.
AS good bell-wethers always do.
And from that day, DER hill and
glade
Through these old woods path was
made.
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words Of righteous
wrath
Because twas such a crooked path
But still they followed-do not laugh
The first mi grations of that calf.
And through this winding wood-way
stalked
Because he wobbled when he walked.
This forest path became a lane,
And bent and turned and turned
again;
TLsc LAVA hnoaron ~noa
Where many poor horse with his
Toiled on beneath the burning sun,
And travelled some three miles for one.
And thus a century and half
They trod the footsteps Of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became village street;
And this before men were aware,
A city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
Of a renowned metropolis;
And men two centuries and half
<Trod in the footsteps Of that calf.
Each day hundred thousand route
Followed this zigzag calf about,
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic of a continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
By one calf near three centuries dead;
They followed still his crooked way
And lost one hundred years day.
All, many things this tale might teach
But I am not ordained to preach.

PROFITEERING IN LEATHER

PROFITEERING IN LEATHER
AL during 1919 we were told that
the ridiculously high prices for shoes
were caused by the scarcity Of leather.
The packers, tanners, shoe manufac-
turers and shoe dealers told the papers
just how it all was and the papers told
Us. We had good reason to expect to
be out Of shoes altogether and going
barefoot by the summer Of 1920. Per-
haps we would have been If we had
not accumulated what a financial ex-
pert would call a Every gratifying in
crease in hides'' during this same year
1919.
Government reports give comparisons
between the stocks on hand on Janu-
ary 81, 1920, and January 81, 1919,
as follows:
Whole horse fronts, 506.7 per cent;
hid skins, 277 per cent; horse hides,
217.1 per cent; cabretta, 213.6 per cent;
goat skins, 203.1 per cent horse butts
(pairs), 155 per cent; kangaroo and
wallaby, 1888 per cent; kip skins, s7.S
per cent; sheep and lamb skins, % per
cent; calf skins, 21.S per cent; cattle
hides, 10.6 per cent. The only de-
creases shown were horse shanks, 59.s
Per cent, and pig and hog skins
(pieces), 54.6 per cent.
While we were worrying so about
barefoot future our market men were
laying by this nice surplus for US. And
there must have bean little extra
money made somewhere, too.

WE PLAYED THE GAME.

I remember, I remember,
In days of long ago,
We sold our wheat for fifty cents

But stuck and played the game.

troubles in the, way of people who
make the enumerator talk from the
door step, refusing to invite him in out
of the rain, people who say they
haven't time TO answer questions, and
the like, also have been met.
Some amusing incidents, too, have
been met by the census enumerators.
Some of them We're in the Russian
colony near Glendale, and as one
enumeration put it:
Those Russian women are certainly
we'll trained. They won't tell you u
thing-not a solitary thing. No, .sir.
Their husbands might not want them
to. So you just have to wait and
grab the man of the family"
In the Mexican districts the emu
merators not infrequently have to re-
sort to the aid of an interpreter. and
at times considerable energy is spent
in explaining what the idea is. On
the whole, however, even in the north
ern parts of the state, where the EMU
merators have to cover snow-covered
country where ranches are 20 miles
apart and towns so miles distant from
each other, the work of taking the
census is going on, and going on well.

ELECTION RESULTS
Party for the Democratic as
Second or Minority.

The non-partisan league of South Da-
kota is now the minority party in the
state, According to the Richards prim-
airy law, which the voters of the state
failed to repeal, the party receiving the
greatest number of votes at a general
election becomes the majority party and
the one receiving the second greatest
number of votes becomes the minority
party and both are governed accordingly
by the primary law. A practically com
plete count of the state vote shows that
w. w. Howes, democratic candidate
for governor, received a smaller mum
Der of votes than did NJ p Bates,
league candidate, while Tom Ayres,
league candidate for United States
senator, poIled larger vote than t. 5.
g. Cherry, his democratic opponent.
In 1922, then when the next state cleo
ton is held the league candidate for
governor and the republican candidate
for governor will hold the center Of the
stage to the exclusion Of the democratic
aspirant.
Compilation Of unofficial returns from
liny-seven of the sixty-four counties in
South Dakota gives Harding a majority
over Cox Of $3.50. However, Christ
enson, the farm labor candidate in
the state, tiity-three counties giving
him 80, 3O9, while Cox had only 80, S9l
in fifty-seven counties.
For U. 5. senator, Tom Ayres, nom
partisan league candidate, is second,
Norbecks plurality over him in fifty
five counties being A., ,559, His vote is
in excess of the combined votes of all
four opponents.
For governor, Bates, non-partisan
league candidate, ran far ahead OF
Howes, democrat. With returns nearly
complete, McMaster, republican, has
1913 majority over Bates.
Both referred laws and three propos-
ed amendments were defeated the only
two carrying being those for giving aid
to home builders in cities, and permit
ting Of Increased Indebtedness to pay
bonus to former service men.

A PROCLAMATION
Executive Chamber Pierre, S. D.


The cycle of seasons has again
brought us to that time Of year when
the people of South Dakota, mindful Of
their dependence upon the bounty of
God, should seek occasion to express
their gratitude for the blessings which
have been received without number.
Few years in our history have afford
ed greater cause for Thanksgiving, and
it seems fitting that we should devote at
least one day to the contemplation Of
our situation and with grateful hearts
make proper acknov elgment to
Almighty God for his loving kindness.
1t happens that the year 1920 is his
torcally doubly significant in that
exactly three hundred years ago the
3Oth Of July, last, there was convened
in jamestown the first legislative as
sembly to meet on American soil.
Further, it is an interesting coincidence
that November llth not only is the
memorable day OF the beginning Of the
Armstice that closed the great world
war, but il is as well the three hun
dredth anniversary of the signing Of
that remarkable MAY flower Compact"
by which the Pilgrim Fathers politically
bound themselves together and first
established the principles of civil and
religious liberty and put into practice a
genuine democracy.
The President of the United States,
following the National custom Of more
than half a century. has designated
Thursday, November 20, 1920, as a day
Of
THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER,
Now, Therefore, on this Thanksgiving
Day let us greatfnlly rejoice that these
institutions although laboriousIy con
ceved were firmly established, that
they have been successfully maintained;
and from generation to generation have
been handed down vital, vigorous and
nnimpaired And on that day in public
and in private, in church, in school, and
in our homes let us pray that God may
continue US free, equal, independent
people, that lie give Us courage, wis
dom aud strength to undertake the new
responsibilities constantly deyolving
upon US, and finally that He aid and
guide us to be faithful to the principles
and high ideals of the Pilgrim Fathers
clean. untarnished Americanism
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State Of
South Dakota at the Capitol in the City
of Pierre this 10Th day Of November, A.
