IMPROVEM'T
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May I Sees Inaugurated First General
Campaign Of Kind I'm Service

without the Postal Service, business
would languish in a day, and be at q
standstill in a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
1t is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and It ONE are to
the innermos interests of a greater
number of men and women than any
other institution on earth. No private
business, however widespread, touches
SO many lives so often Or sharply; no
church reaches into so many souls,
ffutters so many pulses, has so many
human being dependent on it's min
istrations.
sPostal improvement Week. has
been set for May l, by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general
campaign of it's kind in the Postal
Service for several decades. Business
men and their organizations, large
users of the mail, newspapers, motion
pictures, advertisers, and the entire
organization of 1916, 900 postal workers
are to be enlisted in this countrywide
campaign Of interest in postal i'm
provements. Your help 1t vital. Ad-
dress your letters plainly with pen or
typewriter. Give street address.
Spell out name of State. don't abbre-
viate. Put your return address in the
upper left hand corner Of envelope
mot on the back) and always look at
your letter before dropping In the
mail to see IL it Is properly addressed.
This care in the use of the mails Is
for your benefit and speeds up the dis
patch and delivery Of mail matter.
III you have any complaints of poor
service make them TO your postmaster.
He has instructions to investigate
them and report to the department.

State Banks Show Increase
100000 In z Months

Pierre. April 24.-The summary OF
the call Of condition OF the state banks
iI south Dakota for March 10, 1922,
showed resources OF $142.111.000 for
that date, an increase of $7,S91,OO0
over the condition at the time Of the
call or Dec. 81, 1921.
This is an increase OF over s7,009,-
900 in a little over TWO months.
The same reports show that the v
erage reserve in the banks OF the state
al the time of the March call was gus
per cent, a showing which indicates
that the days OF grief for bankers is
going into past history, and that the
banking business is feeling the return
for the efforts TO keep the business
affairs OF the state moving when 1t
was mighty hard sleding for many OF
them.

Mrs. c. M. Dwyer Passes
After Years OF Illness

After an illness extending over a
period of five years, Mrs. C. M. Dwyer
passed away at her home in this city,
early Saturday morning. Mrs. Dryer
had been more or less of an invalid
for about twenty years, and for the
past five years had been confined to
her bed.
Mrs. Dwyer was born at Monona,
ILL.,, August 4th, 1869. the daughter OF
Col. b. F. Ives, now of Huron. She
had been a resident of this county and
city for zen twenty years, having
first made her home on what is known
as the Struif ranch, and later moving
to this city, where she made her home
up until her death. Although confined
to her home for SO long a period, she
endured her suffering with a quiet
courage and patience, and will be
sadly missed by those who tended her
with such loving care.
Besides her husband, the deceased
is survived 5y n daughter, Mrs. r. J..
Weber OF this city, her father and two
brothers.
Funeral services were held Sunday,
at her late home. the Rev. T. J. ST.
mons OF the Presbyterian Church, OF
which she was a member, officiating.
The remains were skipped to Chicago
fos burial, accompanied by the hus-
land and daughter.

DEBT AND THE THANKoFFERING

To break the law is to overstep ones
rights. II puts one in debt to society.
Society has a constitution. Civil and
criminal law recognizes the so-called
Decalog to be that constitution, par
ticularly the second half Of 1t. Every
violation OF this constitution has it's
penalty.
Penalty on the one part is the con-
demnation of society. To the n not
hardened in crime condemnation Is
harder Il bear than the punishment
meeted out. TO have ones sensitive
ness of soul taken out by repeated
breaking Of the law does not help the
final estate of the individual. 1t only
forbids the release from the debt.
The overt act is not the beginning
OF crime. It's beginning is back in the
heart. The murderer is the N that
first hates and then commits the
crime. One can even go back and
discover how 1t is possible to generate
the hate and be sure there is a pun
ishment for the frown that develops
into hatred. Says upper in his Pro-
verbal Philosophy Hate furroweth
the brow, and a man may frown till
he hateth."
We spoke in the second paragraph
OF Condemnation, but we reserved this
until now. Condemnation Is not a
chance matter. When society does so
1T is on SUFFICIENT authority. II Is on
its constitution. And there is a GER
tain orderly procedure and the weight
OF representative numbers go with 1t.
After one has been acquitted by the
courts of the law, which are the for
NAL action OF society, society infor-
mally either acquits or condemns the
one who has infringed her laws.
Mary Pickford. Douglas Fairbanks
and Rosco Arbuckle are finding that
out.
Let us carry on n step further.
The officer OF the law is not merely
an antagonist to the ~violator of law
to be outwitted and defeated and thus
to liberate ones self. In other words
TO be free from the ciuthes of the Law
lis not necessarily to be freed from
blame. For does not the scripture say
"And reckonist thou this, 0 man,
that thou shalt escape the judgment
,of 1ud?"
So we return Il the thought tina,
the fundamental thing punishable II
law breaking is the underlying spirit
The first offense Is the n OF thu
inclination, the attitude. the sentimen

the purpose, the concept. The devine-
ly visioned Milton in Paradise Lost
says:
Never a true reconciliment grow
where wounds of deadly hatred have
pierced SO deep"
The cause Of debt between man and
man is hatred, contempt and selfish
criticism.
In religion the offering for debt
must be made before the Thank Offer
ing is acceptable to God. The same
Ia true In the matter of making ones
self right towards his fellow men. IL
possible the payment must be made In
kind. First the act atoned for and the
manifestation of the new spirit made.
There Is no release for the m who is
not willing to make amends in spirit
for the offense In spirit. AS the first
offense and contracting OF the deb
Is in the heart SO the last and final
act must be that OF a penitent heart.
Then the offering of gratitude may be
made with effect. Yes, it car be 80
made.
How important Is the reconciliation
with a brother! The u~nreconciled
brother, unless the debt be discharg-
ed, becomes an adversary and an adj
versary has no heart. Wal is war, and
Iit knows no mercy. Only mercy can
enter in to stop 1t. The law in its
process Is without heart. It's purpose
is to meet out justice.
So how important 1t is to come to
an agreement with the adversary who
because OF ones debt has ceased to be
"a brother, a neighbor, a friend. The
one who has spiritually harmed his
brother Is in desperate condition. 1t
behooves him to find some a and
time to come to an agreement with the
offended one. A compromise must be
found II possible. The debtor must
act or the assumption that only he
can find the way, yea make the way.
or course / haven't forgotten that
reconciliation must first be made with
God and that the debt payment 10 him
and through him to the brother Is only
possible through the debt paying abil-
fly OF the Son Of God. He 1t is who
gives the spirit that is the tender FOR
wiping the score clean.
II one Is right towards God and
man then he can offer to both the Of
tering of thanks that makes perfect
the triparatate relationship. You can
not do an act of grateful thankfulness
to Goa or man until you have In Gods
|, way paid the debt OF boz Of them.
Happy is the guiltless t~hankoiferer.
