SOLDIERS PAPERS
ARE DESTROYED
HOWEVER, RECORDS OF BONUS
BOARD AT PIERRE MAKES TT
POSSIBLE TO RESTORE
THEM.

Pierre, Jan. 6.-The value of pos
tai registration in the mailing out
of South Dakota's soldiers bonus
warrants was proven the other day,
according to Col. Fred Ray, execu-
tive head of the compensation board,
when a postoffice official called on
the board here and announced that
three warrants sent to former serv-
ice men in the vicinity of Keystone,
this state, had been burned in the
recent postoffice fire there.
Not only were the warrants de-
stroyed but also the discharge pa
pers of the three men, which were
enclosed with the warrants were
lost. With the mems names and the
postoffice registration numbers avail
able, n will be an easy matter to
look up the amounts due each man
and make duplicate warrants. Dup
licate copies of the lost discharge pa
pers, however, cannot be obtained
and the only recourse open to the
men will be TO make claim to the
government. This they may do to
the amount of $50.
Had the warrants not been regis
tered" Col. Ray declared, there is
no telling what sort of mixup we
might have gotten into because OF
the fire. We would have no positive
proof that the warrants were actual
ly not delivered and without that we
could not have issued duplicates.

MUCHD|SEASE IS
FOUND ON COINS
SMALL CHANGE is ALWAYS GOV.
ERED WITH GERMS, TESTS
SHOW. =

Urbana, ILL.,, Jan. 6,-There seems
to be little basis forithe belief that
coins bear any close relation to the
spread of disease, according to an
announcement made at the Univers-
ity of Illinois here by Drs. Charlotte
B. Ward and Fred w Tanner, of the
University following a series of
tests made by the two.
Coins of the lower denominations
were examined for the types of bac-
terra which exist on them," says
their report. 'It has often been stat
ed that money is very dangerous
article of commerce since it is ham
died by all sorts of persons and be-
cause it usually moves SO quickly
from one person to another. 1t has
also been stated that cashiers and
others whose vocations require them
to handle money in larger quantities
than the average person. might be
more susceptible to disease. but this
does not seem to be the case.
1T seems that the very metals
from which the coins are made act
to destroy the bacteria which reach
the coins. In the study only the
more resistant of bacteria, the spore-
forming bacteria, were found. Thls
indicates that money need not be
feared for bacteria cannot live long
on 1T.
These findings, however, do not
Justify holding coins in the mouth
while the hands are serving other
purposes"
Coins as they are passed from
person to person come in contact
with acids and alkalis which form
soluble salts on their surfaces, says
the report on the tests.
"This is indicated by the green
color often noticed on pennies and
the tarnished appearances on nick
els. These salts are the cause OF the
death of the bacteria and probably
those coins which have an old ap-
pearance are the ones which have
few bacteria"
v Drs. Ward and Tanner have
pointed out that postage stamps nave
something the same relation to the
public that money does, although
their constitution is quite different
from that of coins. Stamps are US
ed but once and are not handled by
so many individuals, although the
adhesive applied to them might be
favorable abode for micro-organisms
for relatively long periods of time.
Nevertheless, the menace Is not re-
garded as threatening one; and In
an investigation conducted some
years ago with reference to the
question here at issue pathogenic
bacteria were rarely found on
stamps.

From Germany To

Mitchell, Jan. 6.-An unusual wed
ding in which they 23year-old bride
came all the way from Germany

had never seen, occurred in Mitchell
this week.

ing Is miles north of Artesian, Is

Cured at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gottlieb Scheurenbrand. Mrs. Scheu-
renbrand is the brides aunt.
The romance which resulted in
this marriage was carried on entire
ly by correspondence. Mr.. Groeber's
parents came to the United States %
years ago when he was only two
years old. They came from the little
village of Dengendorf, Germany,
where Miss Bunz's parents also lived.
The two families were friends
and kept in touch with each other
through the years following.

Find Poultry
Pays Very Well

New Ellington, Jan. 6.-Because
poultry raising paid much better
than farming last year, John Petrich
and other farmers of this vicinity
are planning on raising poultry on a
much larger scale this year, giving
more attention to this than to their
crops as they have done in former
years.
Petrich especially is planning on
improving and increasing his flocks
this year, and is now buying up
large numbers of purebred poultry.
Other farmers of this vicinity are
making similar plans to increase
their flocks.
Some farmers plan to turn their
entire attention to poultry raising.
and do not intend to raise any crops
other than for their own needs.
