CIRCUIT COURT POSTPONED

The regular Ocotber term of
circuit court for Haakon county
which was to have convened here
in Philip next Tuesday, October
10Th, has been by order of Judge
John F. Hughes continued until
the further order of the court.
Under the circumstances the act
ion of Judge Hughes was very pro-
per and must meet with the ap-
proval of all litigants who have
business before the court.
As it is it taxes the best efforts
of the Red Cross, Town Marshall
Gagen, and various volunteer eff
fors to distribute transients and
visitors around over the town in
the private residences each night
after our one hotel is taxed to it's
full capacity. We would not know
how to take care of jury and
witnesses for several nights at the
nresent time. With two of our
hotels destroyed, this situation may
be slow to improve, but it is
bound to be better later on when
we begin to find ourselves again
than it will be next Tuesday. At.
torneys tell us that no very i'm
portant cases are up for trial at
this term anyway.

HAAKON COUNTY DUROC
ASSOCIATION TO HAVE
TWO PUBLIC SALES

During the county fair few
of the breeders of Duroc Jersey
hogs got together and organized
the Haakon County Duroc Assoc
iation or the purpose of promot-
ing the breeding of more and bet
ter Durocs in the county. The fol-
lowing officers were elected:
J.. "A. Buchanan, Midland, Presi-

President; HI. M. Sanderson, Philip
Secreary and Treasurer. The mem
bership fee is one dollar and open

There will be two sales held this
fall, one in Midland on September
30th, and the other in Philip on

so everyone having pigs that they
wish to put in either sale should
be sure that the secretary knows
it at once. The sales and Inspect

visit everyone who has pigs for
sale, TO make final arrangements
and assist the owners in selecting
the pigs to sell.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT OUR
FIRE.

In general it may be said that
our fire was a great deal worse in
the columns of the newspapers
than it was here in Philip. News
papers are prone to exaggeration,
but with it all they mix good
deal of friendly hope for the re-
building of better town. Here
is some of the comment we have
scooped from the stream.
The fire, which started in shed
at the rear of furniture store, is
thot to be the work of an incend-
iary. This is a big blow to the
town, but the Courant mistakes
the spirit of its enterprising busi-
ness men, if bigger better Philip
does not rise out of the ashes

ed like trojans and although the
supply of wateer held out, the odds
were against them because of the
high wind and the fact that the
buildings were all frame buildings
and being as dry as powder, were
excellent prey for the fiery ele-
ments. Rapid City Guide.
Philip had a veery bad fire early
Wednesday morning which des-
troyed most of the business por-
ton, and left only the two brick
bank buildings standing. Mr.. Bal

THE END OF THE ROAD

Through the efforts of DIR. Ram

of Health showed at the Gem Thea
ire Thursday night, under the
auspices of the local Red Cross,
the health educational film known
as "The End of The Road This
film was prepared by the United
States Bureau of Public Health,
with the assistance of the war de-
partment, and has been shown ex-
tensively in the eastern states. 1t
has not yet been shown largely in
South Dakota, Philip being the
first town west of the River to

VOTE FOR AMENDMENT "a
AND PAY STATE OFFICIALS
DECENT SALARIES.

This year when you go into the
voting booth take the ballot con-
tainingsthe proposed constitutional
amendments and laws and study
it carefully. Amendment A" pro-
poses to empower three-fourths of
the legislature of fix the salaries
of state officials in lieu of the pre-
sent constitutional limitations. 1t
has been more than thirty years
since salaries of state officials have
been fixed and the thing has be-
come a roaring Trace. You pay
your state superintendent of
schools mind you, the head of
the educational system of a great
state $500. Two teachers in
Haakon county receive more and
several others practically as much
pay. You pay your state auditor
your secretary of state, and most
of the rest of your state officials
$500. Common laborers in Philip
have earned as much during the
past year. You pay your county
superintedena of highways almost
as much as you do your governor.
There isn't a lawyer in the city of
Philip who doesn't earn each year
more than twice what you pay
your attorney general. Most coun-
try lawyers earn as much as you
pay the members of your circuit
and supreme courts, and there are
a dozen or more lawyers in South
Dakota who earn each year more
than you pay all five members of
your supreme court together.
Hasn't the time come to end this
farce? lie you think it has; if you
believe tha decent government
can only be had from officials who
are decently paid, then vote for
Amendment A and allow the leg
.islature to fix salaries of state of
ficials at adequate figures.

WILLIAMSON MAKES
A GOOD TALK

Hon. William Williamson of Oa-
coma snoke to a large audience in
Pohle's Hall Friday night. 1t was
one of the best political addresses
ever heard in Philip, devoid of
flourish, meaness, abuse or any
thing undignified, it was logical
presentation of the issues of the
campaign by a thoughtful student
of public affairs. Everybody, even
the Democrats who were present,
sneak in praise of the force and
fairness of the speaker. There can
be no question that Judge William
son has made votes for his candi-
dacy to cngress by his visit to
Haakon county. He is making a
careful canvass of the whole dis
trict, and just before coming to
this county had made speaking
trip through Stanley county. The
Fort Pierre Times has the follow
ing comment on the Stanley coun-
ty visit:
"Mr Williamson pleasantly sur
prised his listeners by his forceful
argument and familiarity with his
topic. State Committeeman r. J.
Morrisey, together with Judge
Williamson and others of the re-
pulican candidates autoed south
of Fort Pierre Tuesday calling
upon the voters, and Wednesday
candidates and other republicans
accompanied the Judge to Wendte
and Hayes, where he spoke in the
afternoon and evening.
The meetings at Wendte and
Hayes were well attended and
those present expressed thmselvns
as very favorably impressed with
Mr. Williamson and also with his
addresses. j. d. Morrison, the re-
publican nominee for state senator
was at HAYES and spoke to the
gathering"

don. Cross to France and exchange
it for silver coin { Ell equals AZ francs)
and you have 1900 French francs
Smuggle these coins into Switzer-
land. Here they attain twice the
value they had in France, owing to
the fact that the silver French franc
is normal in Switzerland, but the pa
per French franc is worth but half of
its face value in exchange. Change
the silver francs into Italian paper
lire, then pass on into Italy and cash
into Italian silver.
You now have 2,100 Italian silver
lire Take these back into Switzer-
land and you have $1,000 Swiss francs.
Now purchase France paper money
and you will receive for 1t $4,000
French francs. Return to France,
there buy English notes and proceed
to London with $1,000 instead of
G100 you set out with. ....
Change these into American money
at present exchange and you have
about $4,000 instead of about $500 you
possessed at the beginning of the
journey This profit of $500 should
be enough to pay your expenses for
the trip. OF course you have to do
a bit of smuggling, but that should add
to the novelty and interest of the trip.

Who Will Confess?

Manufacturers Record: In every
direction men who have been rampant
ly demanding "the" league of nations
without reservations are now craw-
fishing and are saying we must have
"a" league of nations. 1t is a pitiful
subterfuge for men who have been
denouncing senators and others who
fought for "a" league of nations, a
league which would protect American
sovereignty, now to be parading their
demand for "a" league without the
manliness and the moral courage to
admit their change of heart and to
withdraw the bitter criticisms which
they hurled at Lodge and others who
were always ready for "a league, not
withstanding Mr. Wilson's demand
that it should be his league or noth9h g.
How many who have changed from
"the" league to "a" league will be fair
and square enough to say so publicity?

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The New
York Evening Suns financial review
today said:
Given every encouragement in the
way of easy money, the stock market
made considerable Roadway on the
up side Of today's trading, yet the
advance was not as inclusive as 1t
was yesterday and the turnover IN
stocks was somewhat lighter.
There was a pronounced turning
away from railroad stocks, which
have recently monopolized specula-
tive attention, and the industrials
were the real leaders, gains in this
department running ut times from
one to four points, although buying
was not particularly heavy. Com
paratively light demand sufflced to
lift the copper, sugar and oil stocks,
because of their thoroughly liquidatecl
position. The. steel and equipments
did very little aside from Baldwin.

The Printers and Their Honor.

Burlington Hawk.Eye: 1t takes the
intelligent printer to recognize a
good thing as soon as he sees it.
The International Typographical
union has purchased 100000 fourth
Liberty bonds as "the safest and
most convenient method of invest
ment" The printers read and are
posted upon almost every political
and economic proposition. They
were active and patriotic in the gov
eminent drives to sell war bonds.
Their example influenced many
others to invest in Liberty and Vic
tory bonds. Therefore it is not SUI
prising to find the printers still liv-
ing up to their convictions in the
matter of safe investments which
also have the merit of conserving
the public interests.
From the days of Benjamin Frank.
lin. that famous printer of colonial
history, the printers Of the United
States have been useful, public
spirited citizens. And one of their
craft is to be the next president Of
the great republic. The honor is
their due.
