AND THRIFT CLUB

We have decided to organize The
boys and GIRLS OF Mellette county il
a new club that VIII take up work
along entirely new lines. The idea OF
ghe club is 10 conserve the natura
resources that are found in this coun.
ty and to convert the various kinds
Of wild fruits that grow here so pro
ILLEGALLY, and in a measure 90 to waste
each year, into marketable jelIies,
jams, juices, marmaiadcs, ETC..
In brief, here is our plan: ANY
boy or girl residing in Mcllette coun-
ty between the ages OF ten and eight
cen years may become a member o.
the Meliette County Pioneer Boys
and Girls Thrift Club, by MAXIM
application for membership and COM
plying with the following simple rules :
Each member Of the Club must
agree to gather all the wild fruit in
season that they conveniently can,
and they themselves to make up this
fruit into jams, jelies, preserves, ETC.,
according to instructions, and all
fruits SO gathered and put up will
have to be put up in uniform glass
containers properly labeled.
1t is also proposed to gather wild
hops and prepare it for marketing in
two-ounce packages, provided the pro-
per data can be secured for its proper
picking and packing.
Each ccntcs. ant must purchase their
own sugar for preserving purposes
and also the glass containers.
Each contestant must agree to do
all the work connected with the gath
Of the fruits and their prepare
ton, without the assistance of their
elders. They may ask for instruc-
ion, but the actual work must be
performed by them.
Each contestant must report to the
Mellette County Pioneer not later
than October ], how much fruit they
have gathered, and how many quarts,
pints or half pints of jams, %jellies,
marmalades, buffers and juices they
have prepared, also what surplus they
have to sell.
To the contestant putting up the
quantity Of fruit, and who,
according to the judges, has the best

THE MELLETTE COUNTY
PIONEER BOYS ACRE
CORN GROWING CLUB

The Mellete County Pioneer Boys

year 1922 that We have yet had in
this county. This cCn,cst is open to
any boy III MelIette county not under
ten and not over eighteen years Of
age, who resides on u farm and whose
parents or guardian Will consent IN
writing to set aside one or two acres
Of land, as the case may be, for the
sole purpose Of growing this contest
cOrn. The contestant must agree to
plant at least II acre OF corn, seed
to be furnished by us free OF charge
at our Office in Wood, provided CON
testant has not previously been Il
member Of u corn club, in which
case he must provide his own seed this
year, to all new entrants in the club
we will furnish sufficient seed to plant
enc acre OF corn. The contestant
must in each case agree to pillow, plan,
and cultivate this one acre and to
harvest same before frost, to eXhibI,
at least ten ears Of corn from each

cor show and convention each con
tcstant must also file a complete re
port Of when he plowed his field
when he planted the seed, when he
narrowed and cultivated it., and whel
lie harvested the crop, giving
the actual number Of bushels OF
good sound corn so harvested from
his acre. The latter statement must
be attested by at least two disinter-
ested parties.
The regular contest corn this year,
as heretofore, will be Rosebud King,
and we have arranged for an ample
supply OF tested seed to supply all
new entrants this year,
Here is an extra inducement:
Through the cooperation of Mr.. S. r.
Langley we have arranged to get a
supply Of Reds Yellow Dent seed
corn this year and we will supply each
Of the contest boys sufficient seed Of
Reds Yellow Dent to plant one acre,
thus each boy will have seed this year
for two acres Of corn, and of course
will have to bring ten ears of each
variety to the annual corn show and
club convention. Reds Yellow Dent
IS one Of the standard varieties of
the country and has standing in both
lie state and the nation, and if the
boys produce corn good enough OF
this variety we will try and have the
prize Reds Yellow Dent exhibited
at the State Fair. AS an extra in
ducemcnt Mr.. Langley offers a fine
registered Chester White gilt to III,
boy producing the greatest number
Of bushels of corn from his acre OF
Reds Yellow Dent. This prize ought
to make competition in the Reds
Yellow Dent class.
We are going to offer another fine
loving cup as the trophy in
this boys acre corn contest, but III
order to become sole owner of this
handsome trophy, the contestant must
win it twice III succession. The Win
ncr Of the cup this year must again
the contest next year, and must
be declared the winner before he be
comes the sole owner of the trophy.
The trophy will be awarded for the
best ten ears of corn exhibited at the
annual show, as decided by the judges,
Rosebud King or Reds Yellow
Dent. This year we will also award
two medals for the best and the see
Ond best ten ears Of corr exhibited.
Two medals will also be awarded fol
The largest and second largest acre
yield Of corn reported at the annual
meeting. Mr.. Scarbro, state leader
of boys and girls club work, is of
fering a handsome medal for the best
acre yield reported at the annual
meeting by a member of this club.
1t is more than probable that other
prizes will be offered by parties in
terested in this work, and if so we
will nou them in ample time. In
the meantime make your entry as
early as possible and 60 into the work
with a determination to do your very
best and capture the cup and acre
yield medal this year. Remember, Ii
costs absolutely nothing to become a
member of the Mellette County Pho

year spent in the jungles Of Kivu
country, Belgian Congo, Africa.
Her experiences, of being carried

illas slain, and visiting with pigmy
tribes, vie with Alice in Wonderland

Her father, a Chicago lawyer, was
a member of Carl +. Akeley's ex-
ploring party. Her mother and two
other women also made the trip.
Alice, though only 5 years old at
the time, was taller than the chief Of

her curls false. She was the first
white child the tribe had ever seen.

WASHINGTON, D. C., December 2e Out in Alaska Governor Bone will find interesting reading in the recent announcement here that the news paper child of his creation has passed into the hands of William R. Hearst who was mentioned so often in recent years as it's probable purchaser
 Governor Bone started the Washing ton Herald about seventeen years ago It passed through several hands. its most recent owners having been a syndicate headed by Julius H. Barnes, president of the Chamber of Com me~ce of the United tSates and for mer wartime food control associate of Herbert Hoover The latter was in the past to have the Herald established here as an orthodox Democratic paper. James M Cox, of Ohio, was mention ed once as a possible purchaser.

BARLEYCORN AND POLITICS

Whatever may be said on the liquor question there is no disgulslng the fact that it is at the point of becoming an issue. Because of dry sentiment being so pronounced in the West It IS strange that the East is so strongly ln favor of light wines and beer.
 President Harding in recent mes sage to congress made his position clear in a way described by David . Lawrence as being a complete victo- " for the drys." Immediately atte4' the election, when it was shown that the vets had made distinct gains in some places, though possibly offset by cry gains in others, the president penned a letter in which he said that in his opinion the liquor question has Tot been settled. In his message to congress he deplored the violation of the eighteenth amendment, and called for drastic enforcement of the Vol stead act, which he said the majority in his opinion, approved.
 Comes now the report in recent dispatches that former President Wilson, who is resolved to reasse2t his leadership of the democratic par ty, is regarded as wet" in his sym pathies. Circumstantial evidence in support of the broad intimation is pre- sented by David Lawrence, who it is recalled had entree to the White House during the Wilson administra ton, and was favored above every other newspaper man.
 The correspondent without openly saying so, indicated that it is Wilson's purpose to use the wet issue as one means of giving impetus to. the demo cratic cause in 1924. The eX-president has not openly stated his attitude on the question, but that he is determin ed to take prominent part in the pol itical battle two years hence if his health permits, is evident from hope ful letters he has written to democrat ic friends and characteristic attacks he has made on his old foes. These letters have dealt with foreign issues and general politics. and judging from Mir. Lawrence's diagnosis he has in the background of his program the thought of injecting the prohibition question into the next campaign.
 That the present congress is dry, has been demonstrated, and the prob- ability is that in spite of some wet gains at the last election, the next congress likewise will give a majority to prohibition. But it is expected that the question of modifying the Vol stead act will be brought up during the next session, and if that IS true some specialization of sentiment may be expected. President Harding ap- pears to believe that it will not be pleasing to the vets. Some democratic leaders seem tO pellCNC I4AoI tAiC No- timent for light wines and beer, which is wet sentiment, will be so strong as to raise the possibility of their cary ing several populous northern states if they insert in their platform a plank slightly moist.
 We may be assured that the poli- ticians are viewing the issue, not from a moral but from political stand point. That is why it is being injected into the preliminaries if a fight is to be waged. And if the trial balloon shows that the people favor real pro- bibition the issue will be dropped Hike a hot potato"

AN anonymous reader asks
n our opinion of prohibi-
4 tion. In reply, we refer
to the issue of April 8, of the
Community Herald, where, under
the heading, Pains of Prohibi-
tion Will Be Forgotten in Few
Generation" we set forth at
length our views upon the sub
ject.
To this, we will add, that altho
we always enjoyed glass of
wine or beer we have too much
respect for and love of our
institutions to violate a law after
it has been adopted. We most
emphatically declare that every
one who lays claims of being a
good citizen should do likewise.
1t is disregard for and dis
respect of our laws that makes
criminals and is responsible Tor
much of our troubles today.
There is no more justification
for disregarding the prohibition
law than for disregarding the
laws against burglary or any
thing else.
Prohibition is the LAW of
these United States. Laws are
made to be obeyed. They are
your laws, my laws, the laws of
all the people, whether we like
them or not.
If we wish to retain our
democratic institutions and pre-
serve our present form of govern
ment we can have no holier OBJ
legation than obedience to the
laws which the majority of the
people have approved, irrespec-
tive of whether we personally
agree with this majority or not.
