quent have been the attempts to cast
aside accumulated eXternals and re

such attempt created the religious or

The contention Of some Mennonite
writer's that their church is a direct
descendant of the Apostolic church is
true only in respect to principle, not
organization.
In that period Of violent seeking
after truth, the Protestant rebellion
Of the 10th century, most radical were
the Anabaptists. Indeed, they We're
looked upon as the socialists or the
anarchists of their time. Since the
Mennonite organization is a direct
descendant Of Anabapitsm it is neces-
sary to examine the origin and beliefs
of this Anabaptist movement, an eX-
animation difficult because Anabap-

ST. PAUL STOCK MARK EFT

Live stock trade Of the past week
has been more or less unsettled on
account of uncertainty as to the out
come of the packer-labor dispute, but
with the adjustment of that situation
happily accomplished through the
medium Of governmental agencies, the
market will not be given a chance to
along in a normal way.
All branches Of the trade have been
very erratic. The cattle market was
especially uneven and trading from
day to day largely or a "catch-as-
catch-can" basis. All men in the trade
are agreed hat cattle have made some
decline but no two men agree as to
the amount Of the loss. Choice light
weight fat cattle, both steers and
heifers, show the least decline, selling
at the weeks close steady to Csc
lower than on opening days. Most

Introduction

According to statistics for 1915 there
were then in South Dakota 400 Men
nonites. My reason for selecting lol
special study so small a group out OF
the many who have contributed to the
development OF South Dakota may
then demand explanation. There has
been throughout the state a confusion
concerning Mennonite distinctions and
an uncertainty concerning the value
of their citizenship sufficient il seemed
70 me. to warrant Investigation of
their classifcations, their centers OF
influence, and the character OF their
influence.
In order to include IN this survey
of the McnnOnites in South Dakota
the proper historical explanation /
have divided my treatment of The sub
ject into four chapters Mennonite
origins. Mennonite migratiOns, Men
monte locations in South Dakota and
Mennonite citizenship in South Dako-
Ia. SO comprehensive and so numer-
Gus are the generally available vol
umes concerning the Mennonites as a
whole that il is unnecessary TO dis
cuss in any detail the topics OF origin
and migration except as they pertain
to the Dakota Mennonite groups. Per
tanning TO the Mennonites as they af-
feet South Dakota there are, so far
as | know, besides one or two news
paper sketches of the colonies, only
two accurate, permanent studies in
print. Mr.. j. J. Gering has an article
in the South Dakota Historical Collec'
tons on the Swiss Germans, and Mr..
George Kingsbury in his history OF
Dakota territory includes a sympa
thetic account Of the Russian Ger
mans.
In attempting to collect additional
material I have met many difficulties
OF location and Of supply. Some ma
terial could be used only in Libraries
impossibly distant; the Mennonite
churches are so congregational in gov
eminent that general statistics are
scanty; the Hutterians have kept few
records; the national and state stats

zenship problems are not collected OF

CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Practice Means That One Will Be
Ready to Seize Opportunity
When II Comes.

Practice thrift habitually. Make IL
as much a part of your routine as
eating and sleeping Get yourself sys-
tenlatized. Work on a definite sched-
ule. Save regular amounts. Plan your
work and your actions so that you
will have no idle time, no lost motion,
no wasted energy.
These are among the secrets OF sue
cess, happiness and progress.
The time to begin the cultivation Of
thrift habits is now.
The most important message that
can be conveyed TO the people Of this
nation today is: Get the thrift habit"
Practice thrift not for brief inter-
val or internationally, but habitually.
Disraeh said, The greatest secret
of success in life is TO be ready when
your opportunity comes"
This brief sentence furnishes one Of
the best reasons for practicing thrift
that ever has been given. 1t presents
a phase of the question to which not
enough attention is paid. Ordinarily
thrift is looked upon as a means OF
safeguarding one against possible
emergencies or of building up an &C
emulation of money for some definite
purpose But there are many unex
pected turns in the pathway of life
