new STATION
AT MILAN TO
Be A REALITY
Construction Company Ready to Be.
gin Work of Replacing Build
ing Burned in 1916.

Work on the new Rock Island
station at Milan to replace the one
destroyed by fire five years ago,
will start tomorrow, according TO
announcement of the H. B. Nelson
Construction company of Daven-
port, which holds TN. contract The
building will be 20 by As feet and
of frame structure The cost will
approximate $500. It should be
ready for use by Nov. l., the con-
tractors say.
Construction of the new station
marks the end of fight carried on
by the village against the Rock Is
land lines since the former build
ing burned. The matter was be-
fore the public utilities commits
sion of Illinois several times, but
the railroad complany pleaded high
prices of building material as rea-
son for delay. This spring, how
ever, the village succeeded in bring
ing its demands to hearing before
the commission, and the result was
an order on the Rock Island lines
tc build before Jan. l, 1922
Abandon BOxcar Station.
Nothing more pretentious than an
old boxcar has served Milan as a
depot for FIVE years. 1t was an eye
sore to the proud villagers. Milan
was perfectly willing TO endure the
boxcar station during the war peri
Cd in Difference to the Drotestations
of the railroad company that per
ranent structure would cost toe
much. However, with decline in
prices following the war. the com
pany showed no especial incIina-
ton to build until the state body
made it incumbent to do so.

CROPS LOST BY
THE D ROU I Il
PEOPLE NEEDY IN NINE SOUTH
WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA
COUNTIES.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-An urgent ap-
section of North Dakota, where, he
declares, the people of nine counties
"are facing starvation" is contained
in letter from Supt. Henry John
son, of the Highland consolidated
schools at Mandan, a copy of which
was received here today.
The communication, which was ad-
dressed to Mayor $trunk, OF Window.
MINI. following published reports
that the latter city was using field
corn for fuel. declared that the
whole southwestern part of this great
state North Dakota) is facing star
vation," and urged that "the situa-
ton is so acute that help must come
SOON" Crop failures following the
unusually dry summer were respons-
ible for the present condition, ac-
cording to Mr.. Johnson.
The region mentioned includes
Bowman, Adams and Sioux counties.
in the extreme southwestern portion
of the state; Slope, Hettinger and
Grant counties, further north. and
Golden Valley, Billings and Stark
counties. i'm the, central west portion.
Mr.. Johnson's letter was dated at
Mandan, October is, but was not
mdae public by Mayor Strunk until
this week, when it was published in
Window with an appeal to Minnesota
farmers to contribute their surplus
corn to the stricken districts.
One paragraph of the letter says;
1.-The situation is this: There is no
garden produce, no crops OF any
kind, no straw, no hay, only a big
harvest of blighted hopes. and possi-
Bile starvation"
In conclusion. the lette rsays.
"WilI you and the surrounding
country not help this burnt out re-
gion? The situation is acute, Help
must come soon."
Included in Mr.. Johnson's plea are
the names of number of persons In
responsible positions in North Dakota
who can corroborate his statements
as to the plight of the section. Some
of those mentioned are:
''Rev. H. s. Harris, superintendent
of the Bismarck district, North Da-
kota conference of /. the Methodist
Episcopal church; r. ]. List, OF the
First National bank, of Mandan; Ell
mer Christopher, of the State bank
of Scranton, N. D., and Howard East

GIFT EPIDEMIC
sMEEPSSTATE
ALL KINDS OF ENTERPRISES RE-
vEALED SINCE ATTORNEY
GENERALS ANNOUNCEMENT

Pierre, Nov. 12.--South Dakota is
apparently in the grip of a gift en-
terprise epidemic judging from the
scores 70 letters which have been re-
ceived by Attorney General Byron s.
Payne since he announced his inten-
tio a. few days ago of calling a malt
to all violations of the state lottery
law.
The gift enterprise. while usually
considered as only bordering on
commercial scheme when conducted
by benevolent of fraternal organiza-
tions or by churches and their affil-
lated societies for some charitable
purpose. sliave this fall entered the
commercial world in earnest, with
prizes totaling thousands OF dolIarss
being offered.
Several people have written the at
torney general explaining that they
are hard pressed financially and that
they were intending to rattle off
their farms or other property, this
being, as they explain it, the only
way in which they can realize fully
on the property. At least dozen
such enterprises which have been
contemplated will be effected by the
announced campaign by the states
legal department.
One man residing at Emery went
SO far as to offer the attorney gen.
eral 500 for a permit" to give
chances on farm lottery with each
purchase of a box of cigars.
A popular gift enterprise which
has been called to the attention of
the department is the scheme of SELL
ing a combined dance ticket which
also entities the holder to chance
on tract of land which is to be
disposed of by drawing.
Several enterprises are now in
progress or are contemplated where
an automobile is the prize. Hundreds
of smaller contests are being con-
Quoted in every part of the state In
which the prizes range in value from
few cents to hundred dollars.
All of these cases are clearly vio-
lations of the state law, according to
the attorney general, but not SO easy
to define is the contest being con-
Quoted by the Northwest Poultry as
sociation of Watertown.
This enterprise is in connection
with membership drive. The pros
pective member is supplied with a
card on which to fill in his name and
address. Below this is an announce
ment and explanation OF the CON
test. According to this announce
ment each new member may draw on
the blank side of the card, like
ness of any fowl of his or her choice
The outline of the fowl must be true
to standard and must show an hon
est endeavor.
The announcement then goes on
to explain that the grand prize con-
sisting Of $40 acre farm valued at
| $4,000 will be awarded to the per-
son, who in the estimation OF five
judges has produced the poorest pic
ture. A cash prize of $50 is offered
for the best picture.

Denies Rancher
Another Trial

Rapid City, Nov. IA motion
for new trial of the Maurice kell-
her case was heard this week before
Judge Walter Miser. the arguments
consuming greater part OF the
day.
The history of the case date back
to August 80, 1920, when Keliher
stabbed De Witt, both local stock
men, while in a conservation in front
of Fallon's Drug store on Main
street. Keliher was arrested and la
ter convicted on the charge of as
sault to do great bodily harm, his
sentence being one year in the state
prison. The case proved to be an ex-
citing one and attracted considerable
attention.
The state was represented by At
torney Frank Bangs and counsel for
the defense was Attorneys Buell. 4
Denu and Schrader and Lewis.
Judge Miser has denied the mo-
tion and preparation are now being
made to carry the CASE to the state
supreme court.

ENTIRE FAMILY
BURNED NEAR NU|WDA
EARLY MORNING FIRE DESTROY
ED OSMOND WALLEM'S FARM
HOME AND ALL OF CON.
TENTS.

At 6 o'clock this morning John
Eggebratten, living on farm about
seven miles northeast of Nunda,
discovered smoldering blaze on the
farm of his neighbor, Osmond Wal
lem, who with his wife and six chill
dren were located one mile disant.
Mr.. Eggebratten went over to the
Wallem place to investigate and up
on arriving was shocked to find a
scene that would be hard to de-
scribe. Only the ashes, blackened
bed springs and few other pieces
of metal and also the charred re-
mains of once prosperous and hap
by family were all that was left aft
er the fire had done it's awful work.
Upon sight of the destruction and
loss of life, the neighbors and
friends got in touch with County
Coroner, DIR. R. S. Westaby who
drove to the ruined home at once.
Once there the coroner found the
corpse of Mrs. Wallem, barely rec
ognizeable, lying just outside of a
door, having apparently fallen out.
The remains of the family. Mr. Wal
lem, his three boys and three
daughters, were discovered burned
to ashes, the childrens' forms. only
a crust o ftheir former selves repos-
ing on blackened bed springs.
The farm house was two story
frame structure and the theory as to
the origin of the fire that destroyed
it is that hard soal gas first asphyx-
lated all members of the family as
they slept and then the stove in an
overheated condition set the home
on fire. 1t appears that Mrs. Wallem
telephoned to her sister three miles
distant yesterday telling her that
they had started their hard coal
stove. Nothing else is given in ex-
PLANTATION of this tragic affair.
DR.. Westaby thought that the fam
lily life must have been happy, for,
placed just so, all ready for use,
were the nice little sleds that had
been provided for the childrens' win
ter pleasure.
The remains of two of the children
lay on one set of springs. None ex-
cept the mother could be identified
so badly were the bodies charred.
The ages of the children ranged from
five to fourteen years.
Mr.. Wallem has two sisters and
brother, Andrew, at Canton. The
coroner notified them of the dread
full thing that had occurred at their
brothers home.
The undertaken at volga gathered
up the remains and as soon as mat
ters can be arranged a funeral SER,
vice will be held.
Mr.. Wallem moved to the farm
near Nunda about sixteen years ago.
He was prosperous and the owner
of the place.
The sheriff has appointed a dep
uty to care for the stock and look
after things until relatives arrive.

STATE PAUSES
TO HONOR DEAD
NEARLY EVERY COMMUNITY
FTTTINGLY OBSERVES AR
MISTICE DAY.

Pierre, Nov. 12.-South Dakota
paused in its usual pursuits to COM
memorate the third anniversary of
the signing of the Armistice. Nearly
every town and city and rural COM
munity from the Sioux Valley TO the
Black Hills Mountains turned from
their every days tasks to honor and
pay homage to their soldier heroes,
those who returned and those who
paid the supreme sacrifice Holiday
sports were on the program in most
municipal celebrations.
The disarmament conference,
which in the east overshadowed all
else in Importance, was not fea-
ture in Dakota's celebration. While
there were many especially in the
cities who spoke of the conference,
the day held for the average South
Dakotan an opportunity to review
the once more the sentiments, the
joys and thanksgiving of three years
ago and of recalling with a feeling
of pride the states part in the world
conflict
In most cities the day was started
with appropriate church services
either in the individual church
buildings or at union service Par
AIDES featured the exercises in near
ly all towns where there is an Amer
ican Legion organization.
Veterans in khaki, unable to
march beside their comrades, be-
cause of wartime wounds, in many
places lead the professions seated in
automobiles, and offering mute tes-
timony of international conflicts,
Here and there along the lines of
march, mingling with the cheering
througs were men and women watch
ing in silence the passing soldiers
while their hearts were somewhere
in France"
At the stroke of eleven the state
became silent, while with bowed
heads the people offered two min
ute prayer in honor of the dead.
Nearly all colleges and boarding
schools in the state observed the day
with special chapel services in the
morning and full day vacation.
Armistice day was legal holiday
in South Dakota this year for the
first time, the legislature last winter
having passed a law declaring it
such.

FOUR CAPTAINS
ON ONE VESSEL
LOW TIDE In OCEAN COMMERCE
CAUSES MEN TO TAKE
LOWER RANKS.

New York, Nov. 12.-Four cap
tains on one ship, each of them
qualified by experience and license
to navigate unlimited tonnage in any
waters, but three Of them serving as
mates, is not an uncommon occur
ance now, due to the low tide or
world ocean commerce.
On a ship which recently sailed
from New York for a round trip
voyage to the West Indies, the mas
ter there of had under him as mates
two men, whom had formerly work
ed when conditions were reversed
His third mate, during the war cbm-
manded an American ship which
made numerous trips through the
war zone carrying supplies for the
American army in France.
1t is to the lasting credit of these
American masters, ship owners say,
that they accept reduced rank cheer
fully and in their service they rem
der very high degree of allegiance
and obedience to the offices tempor-
arily above them. This applies not
only to their periods of actual duly
but to the traditional sea discipline
when off watch.

Think Cigar Coupons
Are u. S. Currency

Washington, d. c., Nov. H.
Some members of the French dele
cation believe cigar store coupons
are money; or did until they tried to
spend 'em. Buying cigars and Gig
arets several delegates paid for them
with large bill. In change they
received 81 and So bills( silver and
coupons for the amount of the pur-
chase.
They picked it all up together and
crammed 1t in their pockets. A lit
tie while later, paying for a bottle
OF, apples juice, they proffered a
green certificate" believing it to be
collateral.
There's no use in US saving up a
million coupons to get an automo-
bile, we won't be here long enough.
said one of the delegates laughingly
when the matter was explained tc
him.
