SOLDIERS BONUS
The Newly Appointed Board Now Organ
lied and With Offices at Pierre
Are Working.

Pierre, April l4.-Preliminary detail.
we're disposed of and a general plan
adopted for the distribution of the state
bonus money to approximately 10000
former South Dakota service men, at the
irst meeting of the bonus board which
adjourned Wednesday night. The board
will reassemble within the month on as
soon as certain dates regarding the
workings of bonus boards in other states
has been obtained. At least one mem
Der of the board will 90 to st. Paul,
Minnesota, and Madison, Wisconsin, to
learn the mistakes made by those states
in the distribution Of their bonuses in
order that South Dakota may profit by
their experience.
Offices of the bonus board will be
established, it was decided, in the rep.
resentatives chamber of the statehouse
and all business including the payment
Of the money will be transacted from
there. Office furniture used by the state
council of defense will be brought from
Huron for the use of the new depart
neut until its work is completed. Every
thing will be put in readiness for the
actual distribution of the money, bat
until the bonds are sold, the board be-
lieves it will be necessary to employ only
one or two stenographers.
When the money is obtained the board
hopes to handle its business with a force
not to exceed 40 persons, although board
members declare other states have found
1t necessary to employ as many as POO
or 25O. Accepting the profiered assist
snce Of the American Legion aud Span
ish American War organizations in
obtaining records Of the various men
will save the state approximately $2j,
900 and will greatly aid in reducing the
personnel of the clerical organization,
he board believes.
The matter of printed forms which
viii be necessary in the several phases
Of the work was discussed and disposed
Of and it is hoped to have the copy Of
these in the hands of the printers with
in few days.
Before the next meeting the board
hopes to open negotiations for the sale
Of the bonds although no definite action
will be taken for some time.

opinion that we will get rain later after
the crops are put in and ready for the
use of the rain.

Makes A RECORD

w IL II dLH A SOhNs
Huron, April ia trainload of 50
cars of corn were donated by South Da-
kota farmers for the relief of the starv-
ing in Europe and the Near East.
The South Dakota Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton feels "chesty" oyer the fact that
it has made good the boast that it would
sponsor the giving of trainload of corn
in this state. Officers Of the federation
are elated also because South Dakota
will thereby receive at least 81, 900, 900
worth of advertising as a corn state.
Nothing more sensational could have
happened, they say, to prove that South
Dakota is in the corn belt.
Early reports from headquarters ind-
cate that the South Dakota gift of corn
leads all other states in the nation in
proportion to population and the amount
OF corn produced Further, according to
a representative of Carl Vrooman, who
visited the state last week, a South Da-
kota cOunty's gift of seven carloads of
corn established the county record for
the United States.

having recently been opened in that
metropolis.
1t is announced that Miss Eilers, who
has been in the employ of the Mullen &
Rourke company as bookkeeper, will

Although many people who have done

ceasing of business activities. 1t is

with headquarters here. However, their
place is being filled by one capable of
serving the peoples coal wants as salts.

WoIfville vs. Red Dog
It is time to quit!

The disagreement between our brother editors "Brick" Clark, of the Bisbee Daily Review and "Unce' Billy Speer of the Phoenix Republican, as to whether Tombstone was ''Wolfvie" or ''Red Dog seems to be settled from the following taken from the ''Wofville Tales of Alfred Henry Lewis and it appears therefrom that Tombstone is "Wofvlle and Charestown is 'Red Dog"
 On pages 118 and 119 Chapter 1O we find this cIause
