Lose Hard Race
Against Death

Kadoka, Feb. 24.-An emergency
relay was run in an attempt to save
the life of the small son of Mr.. and
Mrs Ray Wodoard, residing S5 mil
es south of this city.
The little boy fell into a boiler OF
hot water and scalded himself Sc
verely. 1t was found imperative to
take him to physician Immediately
although the thermometer registered
below zero and storm was raging.
The father of the injured boy
started for Kadoka, running the
team all the way to the Uelrich
ranch, many miles from the Wood
ard home, where he changed teams
and started for the Pettijohn place,
on the White river.
Here again change was made IN
teams and the last span OF an almost
impossible road was covered. kado-
ka was reached at two o'clock in the
morning, the thermometer register
ing Is degrees below zero.
1t was thought at first by the phy-
sician that the lad would recover,
but the burns proved to, be too Sc
we're. the boy dying the following
morning.

Patriotic Service
At Wentworth

Wentworth, Feb 24.-The Peo-
pies Presbyterian church here gave
a very interesting Patriotic program
Sunday evening. In short but in
teresting address Rev. Wilmer the
pastor spoke on duty as word full
of meaning being three fold, duty to
God, duty to country. duty to fellow
man. There is no self duty" said
the minister. I'VE do not live TO
self alone What effects one effects
another" In speaking of patriotism
Mr.. Wilmer said: ''At the polls, In
the secret place of the voting booth
when you are alone with God is the
place to show your patriotism and
not on the street corner cussing the
government" Relative to law en-
forcement the pastor declared that
"law Is being enforced to the extent
of the. wishes of the citizens. Don't
blame the officers. 1t is you. Mr..
Citizen, If the la wis not well en-
forced You demand enforcement
and you will receive 1t.

Martyrs To
Cause OF Flying

Washington, Feb. 24.-The disas-
ter to the Roma and the appalling
loss of life will be serious setback
to the development of lighter-than-
air craft in America because the ma
tion is deeply stirred and will not
forget, Chairman Julius Kahn or the
house military committee, declared
in a statement. But, he added, the
officers and men who perished ''are
but martyrs to the art they were en-
gagged in and would not wish their
country to fall behind the progress
made by the other nations of the civ
ilized world"
Representative Kahn says the
world probably will continue air
flights Notwithstanding the disaster
and adds:
THE chances are that efforts will
be made to prevent a recurrence OF
such calamity. / feel, however,
that so long as other nations of the
world continued experiments re-
garding flights in the air our own
country will have to keep up to the
rest of the world in that regard"

SLASH GIVEN
RAIL WORKERS
FIREMEN AND OILERS COME UN-
DER WAGE BOARDS LATEST
f0-HOUR DAY RULING.

Chicago, Feb 24.--Another pay
slash, this time hitting 10000 rail-
road firemen and oilers, was made
by the United States railroad labor
board today when it announced rul-
es effective March / eliminating ex-
ira pay until after the tenth hour
and setting up 'split trick" of
eight hours within a spread of
twelve without any overtime pay.
Following several other decisions
virtually restoring the ten-hour day
for railroad workers, the board to-
day authorized the roads to pay only
pro rata wages after the regular
eight hours which the board ex-
planned in principle as constituting
days work. Time and one-half
will be paid after ten hours. In the
case of the split trick straight time
will be paid for the first ten hours
work whether included in the 12-
hour spread or not and time and
one-half will be given thereafter.
Formerly the firemen and oilers, all
of whom work around railroad
shops, were paid time and one-half
after eight hours.
Sundays and holidays will be paid
for at the pro rata. minimum OF
three hours pay being made for two
hours work or less Monthly rated
employees wages are to be adjusted
to eliminate the old time and one
half provisions.
The rules regarding discipline.
grievances discrimination against
committeeman and similar matters
were remanded to the employees and
the roads for further negotiation.
The boards new rules supplant the
national agreement made during
federal control which has been in
effect since Jan. 16, 1920.

MAY ESTABLISH
A DRY BUREAU
MOVE TO PUT PROHIBITION
WORK UNDER SEPARATE
AGENCY GAINS FAVOR.

Washington, Feb. 24.-A move
ment to establish prohibition bu-
reau as a separate government ag-
ency, distinct from any of the de-
partments, is understood to be gain
ing favor in official circles. Iegisla-
tion to this end, it was said, might
be introduced in congress in connec-
tion with the consideration of the
proposed scheme for the reorganiza-
tion of the administration depart
ments of the government.
1t has been generally understood
that under the proposed reorganiza-
tion plan the prohibition unit would
be transferred from the treasury to
the justice department, but advocat-
es of separate bureau declare that
the administration of the dry law
does not come properly under either
of these departments.
National prohibition, it was ex-
planned, involves four main features
permission, collection, enforce
ment and prosecution, all of which,
it was contended, do not come prop
erly within the prescribed duties of
any of the departments. Collection
of taxes is a treasury function, it was
stated and the prosecution of cases
under the justice department but the
administration of the permissive fea-
lures of the law governing the manu-
facture and sale of alcohol and liq-
uor for legal purposes and the actual
enforcement of prohibition it is felt
are duties distinct from the provinc-
es of either.
Transfer of prohibition to the
justice department, according t6
some officials, would give the latter
department as many unusual func-
tions as the treasury now has, while
the creation of separate agency
would centralize the control of pro
hibition activities for Independent
operation.
Both Secretary Mellon and Attor
ney General Daugherty. 1t is beliew
ed, would not favor such step.

WILL VOTE ON
HYDRO IN FALL
DEVELOPMENT OF HYDRO-ELEC.
TRIO PROJECT UP TO SOUTH
DAKOTA VOTERS.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 24.-When the
November election comes around
next fall in South Dakota, the peo-
pie of the state will be given an op-
portuiity to decide by vote whether
or not they want development of a
hydro-electric project proposed to be
established near Mobridge. This
statement was made by B. C. De-
Vany, editor of the Mobridge Tri-
bune, who was in attendance at the
state press association convention.
A bill has been initiated which
causes the election to occur in the
fall of this year. 1t is hoped then
that definite settlement of a ques-
ton hanging for several years before
the people of South Dakota may be
realized. The question caused con-
siderable discussion throughout the
state when it was presented before
the state legislature last year.
At one time, some of the Older
Hydro engineers engaged two well
known surveyors, Drs. Mead and
Seastone, of Madison, Wis, to make
a survey of the project, and to re-
port upon their findings along lines
of benefit TO South. Dakota, Mr.. De-
Vany said
The surveyors, in their report.
stated that cheaper power would
mean the bringing about of added
Industries to this state" and that
the hydro proposition offered the
solution. They also stated that
such cheap hydro power would de
velop the industries that already are
situated in the state" Under these
points it is also proposed, the survey
ors declared, to gte power fror'i
something that is now goipF
waste. And in so doing, E
mean huge conservation of coals
used in immense quantities in
manufacture of electricity.
Mr.. DeVany also said it has been
found that water power used in the
creation of electricity means that
the cost of delivery may be made
much cheaper and that would en-
courage industries in South Dakota.
He stressed the fact that the hy-
dro proposition is not a Mobridge
project but that it originated in an
amendment passed in 1918 by two
TO one vote and that 81 counties
out of 64 in South Dakota went on
record as being strongly in favor of
the issue. He said Minnehaha coun-
ty was one of those counties in fa-
vor. "It is not sectional project.
either" emphasized Mr.. Devany.
Another point Mr.. DeVa y
brought out was in regard to the de-
livery of the power in all parts of
the state. He said that this will be
done at a uniform price, and Sioux
Falls may receive the power of elec-
tricity as cheaply as the city of Mo-
bridge, although the latter is located
next to the proposed dam. This fact
is not generally understood, he said,
and many people believed that Mo-
bridge would receive all of the bene-
fits of the dam.
1T is just a question of whether
the people want hydro-electric devel-
opment," concluded Mr.. DeVany,
"and they will pass upon this at
the November election, this year"
