OF INTEREST TO SERVICE MEN

Transfer from Washington to the
district Office Of the Veterans Bureau
in Minneapolis Of control of over nine
thousand cases of service men receiv-
ING or seeking training or compcnsa-
tion, was announced by c. ID. Hibbard,
district manager
Completion of the transfer from
Washington is characterized as the
biggest single step yet taken toward
carrying ont the provisions of the
Sweet bill, which declared that the
functions centered in Washington
should be decentralized to the dist
rict Offices with full power to act on
them. The nine thousand cases over
which complete control was trans
ferred to Minneapolis were received
about ten days ago and the work of
consolidating them and putting the last
of them into shape for full function
lng in Minneapolis was finished yes
terday.
Another shipment of twenty thous-
and disalowed claims soon will be
forwarded to the Minneapolis Office,
which, although temporarily inactive,
can be reopened by the man at any
time upon his representing that cause
for compensation or training has
arisen since the case was disaiiowed.
The changes effected make possible:
Settling back claims for compensa-
tion without reference to Washington,
and immediate payment of amount
due. Increasing or decreasing of
compensation paid because the service
man s condition is found to have
changed. Saving of nine days on
cases sent to Washington, and multi
iples Of that number in case papers
have to be sent back. Immediate
transfer from compensation to train
ing or vice versa, and discharge from
either, by the Minneapolis district
Office. The status nav rcsched is that
contemplated by the Sweet bill.
Since the passage of the bill, new
applications from former service men
resident in the states Of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana have been handled direct from
Minneapolis, but the accumulated old
cases. will henceforth be ajudicated
in the district Office.

SCHOOL NOTES

We still hope to interest some mo-
ton picture concern to take pictures
Of the meet
Our boys and girls are doing some
good work these days, both in the
school room and on the track. There
is great deal Of enthusiasm among
the student body of this section of
It he country and we predict that we
will have a real meet this year. We
believe that Wood will develop some
athletes this year that will do the
town credit. The discus throw and
shot put will be added events this
year, as well as pole vaulting. How
ard Joneschiet is working out in fine
shape for the half-mile, running broad
Jump and standing broad jump. Dal-
las Moore is there and over on the shot
put We will have some strong con-
testants this year, both among boys
and girls in both classes.
We are in receipt of letter frc
he president of the Northern Nor
nal and Industrial school at Aber-
deem. stating that he will be with us
at White River on the day of the track
meet. He will address the patrons

Of his carlv life at Fort Niobrara,
where his father was government pur-
chasing agent for the Indians. He is,
therefore acquainted with the Rose

HARDY TREE VARIETIES
SUITED TO SOUTH DAKOTA

The white, or American elm is the
best tree for street, boulevard and
highway planting in South Dakota,
according to p. l.. Kene, assistant
in horticulture at state college.
Green ash and soft maple, he says,
may be used in place of the elm, but
make better grove or windbreak trees.
blackberry may be used in low places.
The black walnut, commonly con-
sidered as not hardy, is worthy of
trial.
For the front yard, the mountain
ash and white birch make beautiful
specimen trees. The catalpa, bass
wood and locust, while occasionally
found, are not considered hardy and
should be planted sparingly.
The Niobe weeping willow, Russian
olive and silver poplar make good
park trees and very pretty specimen
trees. If used on the average city
lot, they should be placed in the rear
Everyone should know the valuA' OF
boxelders and Carolina poplar trees
as "pioneer" trees, but better kinds
can we'll be used in city planting.

TIME rs GROWING SHORT

The time Is growing mighty short
in which the boys of this county can
make entries in the Pioneer Boys
Acre Corn Club. Entries in this club
as well as the Thrift Club, will pos
itivcly close on May /. If you get
left You will have no one to blame but
yourself, as we have been urging you
from week to week to make your ent-
ries now We have received but one
new entry in the corn club this week,
and up to date we have not received
single entry in our Thrift Club. 1t
appears that our young people are not
quite ready to take up thrift work
along the lines suggested in our pro-
posed club, and the club will prob
ably be abandoned. However, if we
get sufficient number of entries in
this club within the next week to war
rant it, we are ready and willing to
make good with our part of the agree
ment. If no entries are received we
are not going to be grieved about our
failure in this club undertaking, but
shall feel that we gave the boys and
girls of this county real opportunity
to learn the lesson Of thrift and con
servation, whereby they had absolute
ly nothing to lose and everything to
gain.
Bear this in mind, if you want to
enter the Corn Club or the Thift Club
yonr entry properly made must be in
our Office by May l, and the remaining
time is mighty short.

MASONIC NIGHT

Last Friday certainly was Masonic
night in Wood. Cars came from the
east and west, early in the evening
and when the local lodge was called
to order there were present besides
the local membership, some thirty-five
brethren from Winner lodge and
about the same number from White
River lodge. The Master Mason de-
gree was exemplified to a class of
three candidates, who were raised to
that sublime degree on that evening.
1t was without doubt the greatest
gathering of Masonic brethren that
has been held here in several years.
The work was exemplified by degree
teams from both White River and
Winner, and everyone there enjoyed
the evening.
About ten o'clock all adjourned to
the Legion Hall, where the ladies had
provided a most excellent roast chick
en- dinner with all the trimmings that

food was served piping hot. After the
banquet, Worshipful Master j. ii.
Bundy, acting as toastmaster, called
on number of the visitors for few
remarks, and all responded, with
complimentary remarks about Wood
lodge and our new lodge building the
good feed to which they had just done
Justice, and the ladies who served it.
After the speaking the brethren again
adjourned to the lodge room where
they completed the work of confer

Everyone had real, good time, the
weather was fine, and beautiful
moon was shining, the fed was good
one and the "work" in the lodge
room could not be beat, and taken
all in all it was an event that will live
long in the memory OF those who
attended,

rude Wolf, and Henry A. Leusman to

BAZAAR AND BANQUET SUCCESS

The Ladies Aid society bazaar and
the mems banquet given in Legion
Hall Wednesday afternoon and eve
ming was huge success, as expected.
The men prepared and served a
mighty good meal, consisting of roast
beef and roast pork, with mashed po-
tatoes and brown gravy. Then there
was celery, pickles, bread, butter and
coffee, and all this was topped off with
a mighty nice fruit salad and cake.
What more could you wish for? 1t
was we'll cooked and served, and if
anyone had any kick coming at all it
was because there was not more seat
ing room, SO that more could have
been served at time. The men did
all the work and none of the ladies
turned hand on this banquet. Yes,
the men did very well.
The Ladies Bazaar was we'll pat
ronized and everything they had on
display was disposed of at very good
prices. After the banquet the articles
in the bazaar that did not sell t reg
ular sale were auctioned off to the
highest bidder, and thus everything
was disposed of. The young ladies
had a candy booth, where home made
candies and pop corn were sold and
they also did very good business
All in all the affair was a success in
every sense of the word.
