Supt. fIanniqan Visits civ

Even railroad men take a day off
sometimes, and last Monday Supt.
M. J. Flanagan of the H. & D. divi-
sion, and Roadmasters Phelan and
DraWhai,n, were around calling on
Milbank business men in the afternoon
getting in touch with business condi-
tions and prospects. Supt. Flanagan
says the railroads, like all other in
terests are suffering from the after
math Of the war, and the unnatural
and expensive conditions that were
forced upon them during the war
when the politicians had control Of the
roads and were running them as bus
mess is always run when in the hands
of a political machine. He believes It
is going to be a slow process to bring
around normal conditions again.

WIRELESS OPERATOR
HEARS DISTANT CONCERTS

Music By wireless is the most
unique form of entertainment enjoyed
ty some of the Milbank people who
are fortunate enough to own a wire
less set. Irving Partridge has COM
plete set, with which he has been ex-
porimenting for some time He has
been able to catch messages sent by
French and German stations and can
get almost any sent from American
stations. Almost every evening mus
ical concerts are sent over the wires,
either by city orchestras or by the
operator himself furnishing the con-
cert or entertainment. Sunday even
ing he had the opportunity to listen
in on concert in Denver and again
in Pittsburg. At both places speeches
We're made which could be heard with
almost the same clearness as had the
speaker been in the same room. There
are quite a number of amateur opera
tors in the city and owning a wire
less set in few years will be quite
as common "a a telephone was few
years back.

H. S. ROBERTS, Sr.
CALLED BY Death

Below we publish the obituary Of
the late Mr.. Hiram S. Roberts, Sr,
one of the pioneer settlers OF Grant
county. and for number Of years
resident here. Father Roberts, as
some of. us younger folks had learned
to call him, had been q regular sum-
ner visitor to Milbank for years past,
and his presence was always welcom
ed by young and old, particularly in
the church where he was wont TO Wor-
ship, and where his attendance at both
Sunday School and preaching service
was as certain as his arrival in the
city More than ninetytwo years of
life-nearly quarter of century
more than what is known as the allot-
ted time of earthly existence for man.
What varied picture of events has
passed before the mirrored brain of
such life And when the years have
been well spent with the consciousness
of faith that has firm hold on the
eternal vcrities beyond the sight of
sense, how natural that such one
should at the close of the day "wrap
the drapery Of his couch about him
and lie down to pleasant dreams

Don't Feed Standing St1lks

Keeping the cattle from eating
standing cornstaiks is the only method
of preventing cornstalk disease. which
has caused the death OF rlany cattle
IN South Dakota this year, according
TO Dir. e. S. '|eaver, cxtensicr spec
ialist in animal diseases at state Col
lage
Exceedingly hungry cattle, when
turned out ir the cornstalks, fre-
quently eat enough to make them
selves sick" says Dr. Weaver. affect
ed cattle lie ve,y quickly. The def
mite cause of the dease is not known"
"This disease can be easily prevent
cd by keeping cattle out of the corn
stalks. The prudent farmer may hav,
plenty of feed in the form of stand
ing corn fodder but does not dare let
the animals eat it. This is the only
known method Of preventing the dis
ease.
''fhere is no mysterious internal
treatment or magic vaccination to pre-
vent this condition or disease. It is
a question of so arranging the farm
work that all cornstalks will be cut
and fee! in some other way than stand
inc in the field. When this is done
cornstaik disease will cease to exist"

OIL COMPANIES TO
BUILD filling STATIONS

Milbank is TO be we'll supplied with
oil stations if the plans which are now
under way materialize during the win
ter and spring.
The Dakota Oil company is just com
pleting a fine new filing station near
its tanks east of Jurgens Implement
store. The building is of the bunga-
low type, with crushed granite finish
on the outside. The building will he
used as an Office and storage room
for motor oils. There are two drive
ways with pumps so that there will
be no delay or wait for patrons.
The Standard Oil company contem-
plates erecting fine station at the
corner near the freight office. This
is undoubtedly the finest location in
the city for a station and the erection
of building there will add much to
the appearance of Main street.
A third station is contemplated by
the Manhatten Oil company The COM
parry has offered proposition to a
local man, who will erect a staten
just east of the Dakota Oil station.
The deal ha, not been completed at
this time
The state tax on gasoline will GO

have the additional vorl, of collec4
ing one cent tax for the South Dakota

COUNTY NATURALIZATION
PROGRAM DISCUSSED

NJ. NJ. Guin, member of the state
department OF education as American
iZation officer and Paul G. We,ncr, Of
the district naturalization office in st.
Paul were in the City Saturday and
addressed meeting of people inter
ested in the work.
The meeting was called by Miss
Nettie Johnson, county superinten
who has been an active worker and
has beer instrumental in accomplish
'rg what has been done in the county,
in Americanization work. Those pres
ent were members of the various or
ganizations in the city, who are striv-
iLg to further the interests of better
government, the American Legion and
Auxiliary being two of the larger, or
ganizations.
A program was outlined whereby
a county organization can be formed
with a representative of each organi-
zation, whose work will be to aid and
direct the work OF all the organiza-
tions in the county.
Mr.. Guin, who is the state American
Legion AmeIicanization officer and "a
member of the National committee for
the same work, has been connected
with the state department in an en-
deavor to start evening classes for
the foreigner and native born who
have not had fifth grade education
The state has an appropriation from
which it will pay one-half of the ex-
pense of maintaining such school,
provided the school meets few Of
the requirements. The school must be
conducted along certain lines, COM
pleting such course as the state
deems advisable. 1t must meet at
least twice each week for one hour
and for ten successive weeks.
The school is practical one for
those who are applying for naturaliza-
tiOn papers, inasmuch as it prepares
them to take examination. In many
courts diploma from an accredited
evening school, Or ,Americanization
school as it is called in many cities, Is
equal to an examination and the candi-
date is passed without question
The program of the Womens Auxil-
iary has somewhat different aim. It
plans to organize classes of young peo
pie for the purpose Of studying Amer
ican government, history and politics,
the better to fit them to vote when
they become Of age No doubt many
who have voted for number Of pres
idents could attend such meetings with
great benefit.
This program has been adopted by
the local Auxiliary and they plan to
start classes after the first of the year
when the newly elected officers are in
stalled.
The proposition of an evening A.
mericanization officer must have the
support Of every organization in the
county, who will give their time and
energy toward making it success.
The financing Of the school is small.
A committee has been appointedito
form working organization which
will endeavor to put over good pro-
gram of Characterization schoo1inc.
