PLUM" SEEKERS
BECOME ANXIOUS
BUSILY ENGAGED IN SHAKING
POLITICAL TREE-NARIOUS
MEN MENTIONED FOR
PLACES.

Pierre, March 26-Political plum
pickers in South Dakota are exhaust
ing their selfcontrol, shaking the
trees from which the unripened fruit
refuses to fall From Washington
comes the word that present holders
of federal appointments will continue
in office until the expiration of their
terms, with the exception of the
United States district attorney This
will leave a large number of ap-
pointments yet To be made, not least
among which are the presidential
postoffices of the state.
Among those who have been men
toned to succeed Z. w. Kiske, pres
ent United States district attorney,
are Wesley Clare of Redfieid, and c..
j. Morris. of Sioux Falls, republican
county chairman during the last cam
paign.
Frank E. Guhin of Aberdeen has
been frequently mentioned as a
strong candidate for income tax col
lector c. NJ. Leedom of KadOka
and Mayor George w Burnside Of
Sioux Falls have likewise been men
toned for the JOB of United States
marshal.
Within the state, Governor W. H.
McMaster has a number of appoint
ments yet TO make. Outstanding
among these is the soldier bonus
board which is expected will be an
nounced within the next week or 10
days.
For commissioner of the newly
created agricultural department, Don
Livingston, the present market COM
missioner, is said to be one of the
names being given serious considera-
tion by the governor. Jacob Wickre,
representative from Day county, IS
also said to be an aspirant for the
position. There has been talk that
Lieutenant Governor Carl Gunder-
SON of Mitchell was a candidate for
this place, but this has been empha-
tically denied by Mr.. Gunderson, who
announces that although he is inter-
ested in the development of agricui-
ture, he will confine his efforts, out
side the time required in his official
capacity, on his own farm.
Under the Richards primary law,
political activities for the general
election of 1922 will begin on the
first Tuesday in November of this
year with the party precinct meet
ings.
For this reason, aspirants for state
offices two years hence are already
tossing their hats in the ring and
marshaling their forces. c.. A. Burk-
hart, secretary of state, has announc-
ed his candidacy for reelection. There
is a report that j. L. ParrQtt, of Tim
ber Lake, and E. w. Anderson OF
Willow Lakes, will also enter the
race for this office.
There is already an under current
at work on the selection of speaker
of the house for the 1928 Legislative
session. Gilbert Larson of Yankton,
is of the opinion that the bankers
and lawyers have held this place
about long enough and that il is now
the farmers turn.
r. L. Nordness of Day county; Z,
o. Frescoln, of Tripp; George A.
Burlington of Gregory and Geo. K.
Burt of Codington, have also been
mentioned as possibilities.

here today that serious trouble will
yet come from the attempt to ship a
train load of 800 cows from here to
Germany. the cows donated by farm
ers of Hutchinson and Bon Homme

The cows had been gatherd here in
the stockyards Wednesday for ship
ment. Wednesday night they were
liberated and it is said that former
service men, men who saw European
service during the world war. were
concerned in the affair.
Thursday friends of the movement
TO ship the cows were busy all day
and succeeded in locating all but AS
of the cows. Late Thursday the city
officials of Scotland, fearing trouble
asked those in charge of the cows to
move them out of the city. They
were driven from here to a farm
near Kaylor, in Hutchinson county
10 miles northwest of here There
they were herded with an armed
guard of more than 100 men who are
said 10 have been deputized by the
sheriff of Hutchinson county.
A large number of former service
men went out to the farm last night,
but made no effort TO modest the cat
tie. However, it is said the service
men are dtermined that the shipment
shall not be made. SO serious trouble
is feared. at Kaylor or elsewhere
along the line, if an attempt is made
TO load the cattle.

 This statement by Lincoln only serves to bear out what other great men have said, that real estate is the basis of wealth, and like he says, you will find the possession of property desirable and to own the house you occupy an asset IS positive good" Even though it may necessitate some sac 1ifice 1t will repay you hundred fold on the ln- vestment. No man can climb high with security of feeling unless he has beneath him the firm foundation of Home Ownership and even his chil- dren will be handicapped in their preparation for life if the advantages and environments of Home are denied them.
 Living proof of these facts are all around you Just consider the better people you knowit is true that most of the worthwhile families own their own Homes
 Home Ownership is the one real answer to the troubles of the times The greatest good thatcould come to Birmingham, and America, or the world for that matter today is universal Home Owner I ship If this could be, our hearts would be so fill ed with happiness and contentment that trouble and strife would find few sympathizers. ==== === ====== THE FOLLOWING PROGRESSIVE FIRS present this weekly page citizenship and elevate cs aracvenes by building

known soldier of the republic has
been mourned by a grateful people
and the sympathetic heart Of the ma
tion has silently wept at his tomb.
Throughout the impressive cere-
preparation and training, we followed
him across the sea and saw him in
the trenches. We watched. him enter
the battle full Of confidence at a mo-
ment more critical than has yet been
told. We stood beside him when he
fell.
HE is our very own. Though we
cannot call his name. we know him
intimately as our comrade beside
whom we fought. His courage was
superb and he knew no fear. His
boyish face only smiled at adversely.
He gave freely of his own exalted
pointed the way to victory. The last
sad rites are over. The echo Of the
last salvo has died away. He sleeps
in beautiful Arlington, symbol Of a
peoples sacrifice.
Predicts Success OF Conference.
1.-The nation now turns to fulfill
ment of it's obligation to him and his
comrades. At no time in history has
humanity been confronted with more
|stupendous problems. The supreme
test of the judgment of men is about
to be made. If this world conference
should fail, then we but hand down
to posterity strife more bitter than
that through which we have passed.
and leave our boasted civilization
Well nigh stranded.
But we shall not fail. The hearts
of our people are filled with good will
toward all other people. The spirit of
the nation was ably voiced at the
opening of the conference by our
great chief executive and leader. A
oil Ia arpt
our attitude and desires was, made by
the distinguished Secretary OF State.
Universal Demand.
without doubt these sentiments
will find their full echo in the breast
of all peoples who have suffered the
devastating evils Of war. Widows
and orphans will cry aloud for their
adoption. The demand is universal.
Let our faith in Him who guides and
directs remain unfaltering. Only the
happy elimination we pray for will
justify our sacrifices; it alone will be
the crowning glory of those whose
valor made it possible;
nent temple Of remembrance to them.
1t is fitting at. this time that we
should lay the corner stone OF this
great building. swhere in years to
come our people may gather win
peaceful purpose. 1t will be a me-
mortal not only to the devotion and
patriotism Of our victorious. armies
in the great war. but, let US fervently
hope that it will also be a monument
to a new era Of international rela-
tionship and friendliness which alone
will guarantee a. lasting peace.
