CHASING CATTLE RUSTLERs
WITH BLOOD HOUNDS

|
The following news item was
circulated few days ago through
the state press from Murdos
The Scott blood-hounds were
brought out from Mitchell Tues
day to assist in the search being
made this week for parties who
had butchered some cattle on the
C. H. Corey place, five miles west
of Murdo.
''Mr. Corey has been losing cat
tie for some time, the total num-
ber that have mysteriously disap-
peared being nine up to the pres
ent time.
THE first Of this week a COW
hide and head, pair Of gloves and
butcher knife were found on the
Corey place about two miles west
of the house; the Mitchell hounds
were Immediately sent for
and were taken to the scene
of the butchering and without the
least delay took up the scent and
took off in the direction of Okaton.
Wherther this be more work of
the notorious Buffalo Geogre who
has long infested Lyman county,
we are unable to say. 1t will be
necessary to send to Minneapolis
Journal and get a couple Of its
young news, hounds in order to
make sure of that. They should
be sent for, because it is getting
to be the open season of the year

December 10th. It is fostered By
the American Legion and by the
National Education association
| 1t is suggested that meetings be
held to call attention to the i'm
oortance of American education
Some of the subjects suggested fol
speeches are:
l. American ideals and Ameri-
canisln.
2. National contributions to oul
immigrant citizens awaken in
the various races among Us pride
in our country and its government
3. American patriotism-wear
the flag in your heart as well as
in your buttonhole. Celebrate the
deeds Of great civil as we'll as mill
tary heroes.
A. The School and the Nation.
S. Education, the greatest in
vestement for Community, State
and Nation.
6. How education may be pro-
noted.

was for our War and Navy depart
ments, which in the main repres-
ents preparation for future wars.
It is needless to say that the only
material economies in government
tai expeditures and the only hope
of decreased taxation lie in the
elimination of expense for future
wars. If this is true in the United
States it must be much more true

SALE OF CHRISTMAS
SEALS HAS BEGUN

The South Dakota Public Healtl
association has distributed it's an
nual supply Of Christmas seals tt
the various counties of the state
and a liberal supply has come ~

under way to place these upon sals
in all parts of the county at once
The Christmas seal is familiar

Purchased at a cost of one cent
each they are placed upon Christ

throughout the land.
This year the design is especially
attractive the smiling Santa with
sparkling eye and flowing beard
under one arm a smiling little girl
and under the other an equally jov-
ial boy. The trio laugh at you
from chimney top, and proclaim
the legend Of "A Merry Christmas
and Healthy New Year
The little seals are distributed
in every state in the union from
coast to coast, by various health
organizations. In South Dakota
they are distributed by the State
Public Health association They
are not. Red Cross seals as they are
sometimes called. The Red Cross
has nothing to do with them, and
that organization does not sell a
seal of any kind.
In South Dakota the money de-
rived from the sale of the seals
is used entirely in the. war upon
tuberculosis, commonly called con-
sumption. During the. past year
clinics have been held in many
towns Of the state, and complete
surveys have been made in twelve
counties ) In this way many tuber-
culosis patients have been located
and sent to the state sanitarium
at Custer or otherwise cared for.
The work thus far done indicates
that there are thousands Of tuber-
cural people in South Dakota never
suspected. daily menace to them
selves and the community in which
they live.
In Haakon county the sale of the
seals is in charge of various public
spirited men and women at Philip,
Midland, and throughout the coun-
ty. The womans club Of PhilipShas
a committee consisting
of Miss Nina Duryea, Mrs. O. M
Culp, Mrs. Alvin Waggoner and
Mrs. Guy Ramsey, to cooperate
with the other committees and per-
sons interested in other parts of
the county. Anyone who will help
is invited to send in and help sell
the seals.
Each teacher in the county will
be furnished with limited num-
ber of the seals, but it is hoped
that lively interest will be arous-
ed and that many will send in for
a larger supply.

WOMAN SELECTED PRESIDENT
SOUTH DAKOTA TEACHERS

Most Of our teachers in Haakon
county are women, and those of
them who attended the state tea
chers meeting at Huron last week
are returning home elated over the
result of the election OF their chief
Officer for the coming year.
For it appears that South Dako-
ia has taken another stride educa-
tionally by placing a woman, Miss
June Emry Of the Eastern normal
school at Madison, head of the
state educational association. ~
lis merely another way Of saying
that we are living in new and
progressive age where the question
Of sex IS entering less and less
into the daily problems as the ca
pacity Of women for work and
leadership is developing and ex-
panding far beyond the dreams Of
all but very few Of keen vision.
Miss ,Emry has established a re-
putation for herself in the state
through considerable experience
as an educator able to keep ahead
of the times with a. strong, SYM
pathetic outlook on the growing
needs of the state and her selection
as the head of 80 important body
as the organization Of which she
has been an active member, is re-
cognition of these qualities.

HAAKON COUNTY
RED CROSS HELPED
EUROPEAN RELIEF

I During the year the Haakon
county chapter of the American
Red Cross was by no means inact-
i've. Plans for furthering the work
lof the county nurse were cut short
/ by the marriage of Mrs. Alger and
the decision not to employ another
nurse just at present. The need is
great, but the arrangement was
for the county to pay the salary
and the Red Cross the expenses
connected with the work. 1t was
thought best as matter Of econo-
my to save the salary from the
overburdened taxpayers for the
present.
In addition a number of branches
made contributions to the Europ-
can relief and Philip contributed
$780, 90 to the relief of the Colo
RADIO flood sufferers.
Various branches made the fol-
