Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times THIS
terrible disease left him helpless and

He finally decided, after years of

from rheumatism until the accumula-

With this idea in mind he consulted

FOR LAW BREAKERS

Vermillion Republican-Why is law?
That is the question that has been
an intermittent n in the minds of
all when they recall some of the
laws that have been placed on the
statute books and then note every
day the fragrant violations Of some
Of the most important Of them. AS
a rule our people are most l~awabiding,
and when they notice the lapses on
the part of the others that are al
lowed to go unpublished it Is not sur
prising hat it breeds in their minds
a contempt for either the law itself
or the name in which it is en-
forced. The idea of a law is for the
protection and betterment of the peo-
pie as a whole, and the minute that
such a law becomes inactive by reason
of non-enforcement, it would be far
better to call a special session of the
legislature for its repeal than to al
low it to further cucumber the statute
books. Just to cite an instance, we
would mention the automobile license
law. While a good many of our PEG
pie have complied with the provisions
of the law regarding the payment OF
license and the display of license
plates, there are hundreds Of cars that
are running under old license num-
bers when the law very plainly calls
for the display of the license plates
for the current year after the first of
January. There is no excuse for non
compliance with this law in this coun-
ty. The county treasurer has a plenty
Of license plates to supply present
needs, and more on the way. 1t is not
fair to those who have already com
piled with the law to allow others to
operate their cars without having
themselves complied with the laws
provisions. This is only an instance.
Other examples could be cited. If
there is a law on the statute books
that for any reason cannot be en-
forced, the sooner the statute books
are relieved from the burden Of carry
ing such a law the better for all
concerned.

REDUCING THE ARMY

Sioux City Journal - President-elect
Harding Is in favor of reducing the
army to $50. 900 men just as rapidly
as the expiration of e~nlistments makes
such a thing possible. The war de-
partment not only has spent the APP
preparation made by the last congress,
but has incurred a large deficit which
it will ask congress to appropriate
$~S,720.447 more for the next fiscal year
than it received last year. The de-
felt was caused largely by the methods
used by Secretary Beker in recruiting
the army UP to $50. 900 men when the
appropriations of congress fixed the
size at les, 900 men, but left a flexible
margin for an additional 10000. The
secretary has been pushing the en-
listments, which in themselves are ex-
pensive, so that when the end of his
term expires the army will be at its
maximum strength.
There does not appear to be any way
In which congress can prevent officials
from spending more money than they
are authorized to spend. The postmas.
ter general has a deficit Of $751; 00, 900
in his department. What the wal de-
partment deficit is has not been fully
determined. The system the depart
ments follow is simple. They LAY no
attention to the amount of money set
apart for them by congress. but con-
,inue TO spend rs much as they please.

AN OPPORTUNITY

II seems to the Register that there
is an opportunity for the Brooklngs
County Farm Bureau 10 do a great
service for the farming Interests or
this county In backing a movement
for state leg station for the proper
drainage Of the Sioux river valley
which Is especially necessary in TINS
county. The flooding Of the farm lands
adjacent to the Sioux river in this
county every spring for the last Few
years has entailed a loss to the farm
ers too large TO be reckoned. Efforts
to remedy the situation through county
action have proven fruitiess. The
project Is a large n and TO be en-
tirely successful, the drainage plans
should include the entire river valley
from its source TO its outlet. The
counties to the north and south of
US are equally affected by the ram
pages OF the river. An organization
Of the farmers OF the counties tribu-
tary would be very effective in bring
ing results. An organization OF the
strength and size of the Brookings
County Farm Bureau would make an
effectual start in the promotion Of
the project. Every other organization
interested in the development Of the
state would join with them. The farm
ers in the James river valley have a
large organization working for the
drainage of that valley. The farmers
Of the Sioux valley could work adj
vantageously with them In gaining
state aid. The only hope of reclaim
ing the vast acreage Of rich farm land
now rendered useless by the caprices
OF the Sioux river in this county lies
in organized action. The Farm Bu-
reau has the organization. There IS
a drainage bill before the Legislature
at the present time. The farmers of
this county should study 1t and see
that there Is nothing in it that would
be disadvantageOus and should see that
II is made to help conditions here,
Then with the entire organization sup
porting Il, there is little doubt but
that 1t will become a law.

cember usually shows a lessening in
the number issued, this last month re-
corded an increase Of almost two hun
dred over any previous month since
the library opened. This Is no doubt
due in a large part to the number of
new, up-to date and worthwhile books
that have come to the shelves of late.
These books will be augmented month
Nv by additions Of the cream of the
newest volumes, both of fiction and of
serious books.
white Shadows in the South Seas"
is the latest acquisition, a beautiful
book, profusely illustrated, not a heavy
book of travel, but with an appeal to
the average mar and woman, who
would like to visit strange places, but
cannot do so. Rupert Hughes said of
it, Never have / read a book in any
language or translation that fasci-
mated me more than Frederick
O'Brien's white Shadows in the
South Seas" Aside from it's value
as a description of Eden that is rap
idly becoming a Paradise Lost, 1t Is
full of thrill, humor, humanity, wis
dom and strange beauty"
An interesting indication of the ex-
tent of use of the library is the fact
that eighty cards were issued to new
patrons during the month of Decem-
Der.
The library is now open On Sunday
afternoon from 800 to 600. Books
are not issued o received; the
rooms are open for reading only.

OPEN LETTER

In addition to the regular annual
conference of the State college extern
sion division the South Dakota Farm
Bureau Federation is having its first
annual meeting here during the week
of January oath. There will be about
800 delegates attending. 1t will be nee
essary for State college to call upon
it's friends of the city for rooms to
accommodate these people.
South Dakota is each year coming
more and more to look upon Brookings
as the center of agricultural activities
of the state. Unless these guests are
properly entertained there will be an
inclination to hold future meetings
elsewhere.
The rooms committee Of the extern
sion conference suggests that the a
imum uniform price of not more than
$1.O0 per person per night should be
charged.
If you have a room available kindly
telephone such information to the
State college extension division, phone
424. 1t is very necessary to get this
information at once as guests will be
arriving Sunday and Monday, January
23rd and oath.

lege events, we remain

GRAIN FEEDS FOR POULTRY

OF all grain feeds usually supplied
IN farm poultry, corn has been, and
stu is. the most popular. h prop
ably is due to it's abundance and rela-
tive cheapness, and because it is the
most relished of all the grains. Corn
is heating and fattening, and when
fed 10 fowls as the only feed, rat
rather than eggs is the usual result.
II should be balanced with meat, bone,
hran. and such feeds as are rich IN
~nitrogenous matter, in which corn is
deficient. When corr is fed to laying
hens that have opportunity TO take
plenty of exercise and to obtain in
sects and green feed, more satisfac-
tory results are likely to be Obtained.
II may be fed more freely during the
winter than during the summer.
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. 1t is
not quite so ~fattening as corn, but
is too fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised to use with corn to
Increase the proportion of protein.
Wheat contains a little more protein
than corn, about the same amount OF
carbohydrates, but less fat, and on
the whole is considered not so yalu-
BILE for fattening, but slightly better
for growth. Good grades of wheat
are relatively too high in price to be
used freely in feeds at the present
time. Wheat screenings of a good
grade can frequently be purchased and
fed to advantage. Of course, there Is
always the danger of introducing weed
seed on the farm. Burnt wheat" sell
dom can be fed advantageously, the
difference in price between this and
good wheat being usually too slight TO
warrant its use.
Oats, while not as good as corn or
wheat, are necessary for variety. They
contain more ~indigestible fiber than
the other grains. Hulled oats are rel
ished by poultry and are excellent for
producing eggs, but are usually too
expensive. When they can be obtained
at a reasonable price in comparison
with other grains they may be fed
quite freely.
Barley does not seem to be relished
by hens, but may be used to give va
riety to the grain ration. 1t has a
little more protein than cor and a
little less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite well liked by
fowls, but is not widely fed. 1t may
be used to vary the ration, but is
usually too high in price to be eco
nomical. B~uckwheat middlings are
rich in protein and make a good mix
ture with cornmeal.
Rye is not fed largely, and does not
seem to be much relished by poultry.
1t is supposed to cause bowel trouble
when fed freely.

Of their own institutions; a weakness
which we say does not exist. We

side the lines Of our own state for
that which We can get within 1t. This
Is the spirit which has made the other
states great. State pride made the citi-
zens thereof spend their money freely
and Loyalty in building up the com
monwealth in which they live.
There should be organized a South
Dakota society, composed of men and
women Of the state who would pledge
themselves to educate their children
within It; to buy nothing outside the
state that can be bought within; to
encourage the manufacture Of things
within this state It is now necessary
to purchase outside. and to build up
the educational institutions OF the state.
