HOMESTt. ADEKS TO
GET EXTENSIONS

Three bills of general interest to
people of western South Dakota
have been pushed through the low
or House of Congress this week by
Congressman William Williamson.
1t took considerable maneuvering
and skilfull handling as the cal
endars of both houses are still very
much congested with a great mass
Of pending bills.
The first of these measures pro-
yidcs that any homestead entry
man or purchaser of Government
land on the Cheyenne River and
Standing Rock Indian Reservation
who is unable to make payment Of
the purchase money shall be grant
ed such extension or extensions as
his circumstances may require, not
to exceed four years in all. Many
Of the settlers were threatened
with cancellations CT their entries
as result Of inability to meet the
payments. This will give them am.
pie protection and is one Of the
most liberal pills that has ever
passed the House.
The second provides for revol
wing fund out of which the Secrc-
tary Of the Interior may make
loans to old and INDECENT Indians
who have assets upon which they
cannot realize because Of their in
competency. The loans become a
first lien upon their allotmcnts or
other assets that are not available
for their immediate and pressing
needs. There has been much sulf-
ering among certain members Of
the Rosebud Sioux for lack Of
funds as their allotments and 9th
er available assets did not bring
in a sufficient income to maintain
them. The Secretary can now re-
lieve these cases and at the same
time safeguard all moneys advan-
ced.
Hc tjiiu Dlll pIoNit ioi ''ii
appropriation of $1,000 from tribal
funds Of the Rosebud Indians to
enable them to erect a memorial
monument in honr Of the members
of that tribe who gave their lives
for the country in the recent war
with Germany. These Indians
troops showed conspicuous valor
uopn the field Of battle and were
commended by Marshall Foch and
declared to be among the finest of
the troops under his command.
The monument will be erected
under the immediate auspices of
the Chauncey Eagle Horn post un-
der the supervision Of the Secre-
tary of the Interior. The various
Indian posts expect to contribute
additional funds. 1t will be most
fittinfi tribute to these brave ma
tive Americans who gave their all
for their flag.

thankful wife should be that
she does not have to work.
! A wife is also useful to lay
things on. That is why men get
them. When man doesn't want
to do anything he always says his
wife wont let him, and when a
man plays poker and loses his mo-
ney he blames his wife's eNtrava-
gance because he is not rich.
There are many dixercnt kinds
Of wives There is the First wife,
who works and pinchcs and erin
chcs to help her husband get on,
and who never has any nice
clothes. and who rides in 2nd
hand Ford, and there's the Second
wife. who has diamonds. and Paris
dresses, and Limousine. that the
first wife saved up to buy for her,
And there's thin wives and fat
wives but guess it is like auto
mobiles--evcry time you get new
one you try new make.
Wives have many curious pccul-
iaritics. One of them is that they
have got noses that can smell
things as far as hound dog.
When my papa has had a drink,
my mamma can smell it before he
gets within IA block Of the house
Also wives is like cats, and they
never sleep, and no matter how
easy you tiptoc in you always wake
them up.
Wives is very noble creatures,
and they feel it their sacred duty
to tell their husbands about thci
faults and what poor. miserable
worms OF dust they are if they did
not have wives.
Wives save their husbands a
great deal Of trouble by spending
their money for them. A man who
has a wife never has to worry alb
out the danger Of banks breaking.
When a man 5 wife dies he has
nobody to quarrel with, and this
makes him so lonesome that he
runs right off and gets married
again. .--Ex.

A BOYS ESSAY ON WIVES

A wife is one of the most USE

She cooks, sews, and minds the
baby, and does the shopping and

paid any money like a cook or a

from these people any prospect Of
accumulating a competence no maj
ter how small and would blight
their hope of bettering their con-
dition. Not only would it cut off
their opportunity for saving, but
in countless instances it would
mean less food, fewer shoes and
stockings, less coal for the stoves
and more crowded living quarters.
1t must be remembered that the
bulk of the revenue If secured by
sales tax will be derived on food
fuel and clothing and shelter.
we feel that the passage of the
sales tax would cause many far
mcrs 50 to shape their farming
operations as to more nearly self
sustaining and therefore still fur
thcr reduce business operations of
our country. The farmer now gets
only 81 cents Of the consumers
dollar and a sales tax would re-
ducc that amount. We are glad,
however, that Congress has seen
fit to discard the proposed sales
tax once and the federation sincere
~ hopes that it will do so again.

Juvenile Crime is
Checked by Sweden

STOCKHOLM, May 19-(Associated
Press).-Sweden has eliminated one
OF the worst curses which the world
war brought to %neutrals and bell
gerents alike, the alarming increase in
juvenile delinquency.
Not a country in Europe escaped
the epidemic which continued to in
tect h youth after armed hostilities
had ceased. Sweden took immediate
steps to check the spread of youthful
criminality which threatened to I'M
dermine the country's social struc-
ture. Fortunately, the country was
prepared, having many years before
the var established excellent institu-
lions for the training of children that
showed criminal tendencies.
DR.. David Lund, head of the Social
Board, and recognized as one of the
foremost European authorities on cri-
minality among youth, has now an
nounced that the country has return
ed to normal in respect to juvenile
crime.
DR.. Lund attributed Sweden's sue,
cess in combating this evil to the
excellent care taken of affected
youngsters in special educational insti,
tutions whose inmates are given an
exceptional opportunity Of leading
natural, healthy and active lives un-
der the most wholesale Influences and

where they are given an opportunity
to acquire not only some book learning
but to master the fundamentals of
useful occupations. OF these schools
that of Hall, located near Stockholm,
is the best known and probably the
most successful. Here farming gar.
dening, stock raising and various han
dicrafts are taught and here large
numbers of youngsters, seemingly
predestined to criminal careers and
prison life, have been redeemed with
such success that during the past 10
ears, only 10 percent of the youth dis
charged from the institution have
later been arrested and convicted of
~offenses against the law. Hall origin
ally was privately endowed. 1t takes
boys between the age of ten and Is.
The report of Sweden's reformatory
system shows that as percent of the
youths discharged therefrom have
proved TO be entirely cured of their
criminal tendencies, having turned
into law-abiding citizens of regular
habits. But DR.. Lund states that this
percentage can be increased. He de-
clares that he has found that only
three percent of the morally defective
youth coming under his observation
is i~rredeemable.

"Pokuealani Girl Scout Camp

"Pokuealani Girl Scout Camp
July 2
1.-The girl scouts at Pokuealani
Camp are enjoying every minute of
Kailua air and sunshine. The over
night hike to Keanae must not be
omitted.
"A group of II, including Miss Sci
bert, Mrs. Ed. Deinert, Miss Collins,
Miss Vincent, Miss Boland and -
girls started on the hike on Friday
morning at ten o'clock taking the up
per ditch trail. Each one carried her
blanket and personal necessities over
her shoulder in a regular soldier
style. Food was also carried along.
"The scenery is wonderful, beyond
description. Deep valleys, covered
with thick ferns, trees and other vege-
tations. There were few waterfalls,
these were beautiful. Traces of other
waterfalls were seen also but there
was no water to feed them. We
Toasted on the thimble berries that
grew up all along the trail.
"All these were enjoyed immensely
by all but there was something else
too, the raising of blisters.' Molokai
(Thelma Dunn) got away with the
prize for raising the largest one. She
was still more lucky, for on the re-
turn hike Mr.. Plunkett happened to
come along with an extra horse and
relieved 'Molokai.'
1--WE reached Keanae quite late in
the afternoon, stopping every twenty
minutes or so for rests on the way.
Every one was dead tired but as soon
as the burdens were off our shoulders
and supper eaten all felt like new
people.
Mr.. Plunkett was very kind to us.
He allowed us to use his grounds, cots
and a house and also sen us a pail
filed with sweet, fresh milk, a bunch
OF bananas and a big bowl of poi.
Every one was hungry as bears and
devoured the edibles as though they
had not eaten for days. The girls
were just poi hungry and it surely was
a treat to have some. You ought TO
have seen the poi go. The girls squat
ting upon the ground around the bowl.
oh! that was a picture.
after the hearty supper all pre-
pared the cots and retired, but after
much laughing and talking. The sky
served as the roof. By the way. the

two o'clock some of-the girls woke
up and 'Oh I'm cold, oh cold was
heard. After awhile scratchings were
heard. The two girls who did the
scratching said that they were trying
to get the cot warm. Miss Seibert
was up several times during the night
to tend to the fire. OF course some
one had a talking spell in her sleep.
Early in the morning breakfast was
eaten and all started for camp taking
the old trail. Adjectives are exhaust
ed to describe the scenery.
"As soon as we got to camp, lunch
was served. Good grub too. We
found Kuaban sleeping, Aman, Pake,

others alive. So you see we are hav-
ing a grand time up here even going
as far as having nicknames.

Kailua, July 2.
"On Tuesday morning Miss Seibert,
Mrs. Deinert, Miss Collins, Miss Vim
cent and Miss Bowlin together with
some scouts started for an overnight
hike to Keanae. Miss Seong, Miss
Whitehead, Gussie (cook) and ten
scouts, who were left, to take care of
the camp. During their absence we
cleaned up the camp by doing several
different things that we thought might
better its appearance. We raked the
rubbish around the camp and burned
the bones that were laying on the
grass. To make the spot where our
camp fire is a pleasant sight for the
eye, we piled the wood and twigs all
in one pile. We also added a few
more green leaves to the windbreak,
which was built by some of the scouts
who are now second class scouts and
are preparing to be first class scouts.
"While we were down at the swim
ming pool, Mrs. Osmers and Mr..
Childs visited the camp. 1t was
thoughtful of Mrs. Osmers to bring
a big jar of delicious candies for the
scouts and a box of chocolates for the
~counselors. The candies tasted good
and we thank them most sincerely for
their kindness.

very much we enjoyed camping. We
hope that the other scouts will do
likewise.

"On Friday morning about 10 a.. m,
four counsellors including Miss Sci
bert with twelve Girl Scouts went for
an overnight hike to Keanae. There
were ten girl scouts left with two
lieutenants and a cook.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Childs and
Mrs. Osmers were here for lunch.
They brought a big jar of candies.
We enjoyed eating them. l presume
the counsellors enjoyed eating them
too.
while the mixers were gone Friday
that afternoon a couple of the girls
after swimming, went to catch shrimps.
First they tried to catch the shrimps
with their hands. When that wasn't
successful they tried to catch them
with a towel. It still wasn't success
full so they tried catching them with
a dress. The dress caught more
shrimps than their hands and the
towel so they kept on catching more
shrimps for supper. We certainly had
a nice supper.
"The next morning the girls clean
ed the campus to surprise Miss Sci
bert when she came back.
I'VE have given this Kailua camp
a new name the Pokuealani Camp. We
are trying to have a new camp song
also.
1.-THE swimming pool in which the
girls go in every day is just lovely.
We're going to miss it very much
when we go home.

girls that will come the following
week will have a good time as we
have had.
