A CHAIN OF STRIFE

Since the days when Cain killed
Abel the spirit of strife has been
in the blood of mankind, and it will
continue in the b. b.ood as long as man
kind exists.
Nations are merely collections Of
individuals bana1a .ogsther for their
own protection. AS long as their
nationals fight among themselves it
must be expected that nations will
fight each other.
Just when many people were hoping
that the league Of nations would event
ually be able to function to some
practical purpose we are confronted
with the spectacle of Italy defying
The league and taking forcibls pos
session of Greek territory.
We in America are not concerned
with the merits of the controversy
between Italy and Greece, but we are
vitallv concerned with the effect upon
this country if We are dragged into
another general European conflagra-
| ton.
Italy and Greece may adjust the
present difficulty, or they may fight
| it out.
In either event, it is our business
! to keep hands off.
Some claim that we should inter-
fere in European affairs because we
, owe a duty to civilization. But what
! if civilization declines to be servedf
Europe today is just one great con.
olomeration Of grasping, self seeking,
Jealous, intriguing and backbiting
nations, awaiting only an opportunity
to devour each other The last war,
J which should have taught them les
son, did not improve matters in .he
slightest degree. If anything, it made
| them worse.
Civilization should be preserved and
advanced, but that can be accomp-
lished only when honor and spirit
, of fairness return to the nations that
are destroying it.
Until then our duty to ourselves
/ demands that we keep out of the en-
gulfing mess.
The man who shoves his hand into
lions mouth must expect to have
| it chewed off.
} We have no hands to lose. =.

wish them success and prosperity
wherever they may locate and In

ANTHRAX AND HOG
CHOLERA MEETINGS

DR.. G. S. Weaver, Of Brookings,
state veterinary specialist will be in
Mellette county on September, 24-25,

places: Wood, September "A, at 200

ber 25, 500 p. IN. Westover, Septem-
Der 26, 500 p. m.
Now, farmers Of Mellette county,
We have had serious time with an
thrax and hog cholera. None of Us
know as much about hese-diseases as
we want to know and ought to know.
DR.. Weaver is possibly the best
trained man We can get to tell US
about these two diseases. DR.. Weaver
is busy man as his work covers the
entire state. We are lucky to get
hold of him at this particular time so
we hope every farmer in the county
will try to attend one of these meet
ings. Tell everybody about it and
come Yourself. We believe every
farmer is deeply interested. If you
are, we know YOU will attend one OF
these meetings.

BOY SCOUT NOTICE

Last Monday evening a very profit
able and enjoyable evening was spent.
Eleven boys were present and it is the
desire of the troop to try and get
sixteen boys in the troop so as to
make two patrols.
Several interesting matters were
discussed, of these the Scout band is
the one that all the scouts are hoping
will become a reality. There are
many details that need to be consid-
cred, but there is no reason why we
should not have one of the best bands
of the kind in the state for we have
enough boys and it is the desire Of
the scoutmaster to try and get girl
scout organization started in the COM
munity, and if any girls wish to plav
in the scout band it would be their
privilege to do so. We also have some
talent in this community that is hard
to beat along the band line, which
will give us good leadership. So let
us all cooperate and boost the Scout
band proposition.
Probably before the next issue of
this paper some of the Boy Scouts
will solicit the people of this COM.
munity for small contribution for
n very worthy cause, that they will
tell you about when they ask for your
aid. We do not ask large sum from
anvone, but if everyone asked will
give a quarter or a half dollar it will
be bi" hel-, for the cause for which
il is intended

NO REASON FOR SLIPPING

Are you losing your pep? Are
You on the downward grade in the
affairs Of life? Are you going to
continue slipping backward, or are
you going, to buck up and come
back again -
Many people make the mistake OF
feeling that q few business reverses
put an end to their usefulness-that
the most they can hope for is to plod
along the rest Of their days. Having
lost hope they lose their pop, and a
man without pep can not accomplish
much in this world.
Never consider yourself down and
out. You only reach that depth when
you admit that you are there, and il
you refuse to admit it you will never
reach it.
If you are not successful in your
present calling it is probably because
nature has not fitted you for that
particular line Of business. You
simply started off on the wrong foot
We can not all hope to be bankers
or lawyers, or doctors, or merchants
because many of us are not fitteC
by inclination for such work. If we
mistakenly drift into such lines we
do not achieve any remarkable de-
gree of success. Hence our discour'
agement, our loss of pep, our spirit
of Indifference, and Our eventua
slipping backward to the place where
we started in life.
If your present line of business
does not appeal to you, if you can not
acquire and maintain a vital interest
in your work, you are in the wrong
pew and should hunt another.
When you find the work or busi
ness that does appeal to you youl
vanishing pep will return.
The bottom of the ladder will fade
away and the top will soon be in sight
There is no such thing as permanent
failure for the man who is determined
to succeed.

To Let Bridge Contract

The State Highway Commission
announces that it will receive bids on
October 10th for the construction of
the new Missouri river bridge to be
built at Wheeler. This is what is
known as the Rosebud bridge and will
link the Rosebud country with the
balance of the state. This bridge
will also no doubt bring one or two
competing railroads into Rosebud ter,
ritory as soon as it is completed
which will 20 long way toward solv-
no the transportation problem in this
the richest agricultural section Of the
tate. Everybody in the Rosebud
hopes that construction will be
rushed as much as possible on this
bridge, once the contract is let.

LONG, COLD WINTER

According to Grant Searl, local
weather prophet, who last spring pre-,
dicted plenty OF moisture for the
Rosebud this summer, We may look
for an exceptionally cold winter, and
he advises consumers to lay in more
coal than they did last winter, as they
are going to need it. He says the
winter will be unusually dry, with less
snow than normal, but look out for
low temperatures.
Mr.. Scarf reaches these conclusions
from n study Of the heavens and he
IS willing to gamble that he is right,
Last spring he told the Times that
the rainfall would be plentiful this
summer, with good showers about
every week, and his predictions proved
true
Get out your overcoats.--Colome

SOUTH DAKOTA MAY GET
HARD COAL FROM LIGNITE

Washington, d. C.-Completion OF
apparatus which makes it possible tC
manufacture anthracite coal from
comparatively worthless Ignite was
announced Tuesday by the bureau OF
mines.
Efforts will be made at once by Of
ficials of the interior department, il
was said. to interest some commercial
concern in the invention in order that
its benefits may be made available to
the coal consumin~ public.
The Importance of the discovery
NAV be realized, the bureau said
when it is known that the United
States possesses 1,05l 100000 tons OF
easily mined Ignite, of which 1884,.
100000 tons are located IN North and
South Dakota and Montana. This
territory annually imports large
tonnage of anthracite and bituminous
coal.
The bureaus experiments were car.
ried out in cooperation with officials
of the Canadian government. An ov.
en- was perfected which is to turn the
Ignite into fuel having practically
the same thermal efficiency as the best
Pennsylvania hard coal.
The Canadian authorities, after
seeing the oven in operation, decided
to construct a similar unit and give il
thorough test. The Canadian tests
also proved successful, and Canadian
engineers reported to the department
of mines at Ottawa that the oven is
ga practical commercial oven, now
past the experimental station.

Frost Wednesday Night

We were visited by a light frost
Wednesday night of this week. How,
ever it apparently did not do much
damage to growing vegetation. The
mercury dropped to 81 degrees above
zero, which is one degree below freez
ing, during the night. Light frost will
help along the maturing of the corn
rather than damage the crop. What
we don want at this time is heavy
freeze, which would do lot of dam,
age to the late corn.

FARM HOME GOES UP IN SMOKE

The farm home of Harry Atwood in
the Cody neighborhood was burned
to the ground last Friday afternoon.
1t was about two o'clock in the aft
ernoon when Mr. Atwood and his
brother, who were doing some work
in the ward discovered smoke issuing
from the gables of the house, and
they Immediately investigated and
found the attic was in flames The
fire gained headway very rapidly and
the family saved what household
goods they could before the flames
became SO hot at to forbid any furth,
er efforts at saving the contents of
the building. AS it was many family
heirloomS, all their winter clothing.
some bedding and some Of the furni-
ture and cooking utensils were
burned. Just how the fire started is
mystery. 1t was first discovered
in the attic, where some old clothes,
paper, flour and such odds and ends
were stored, and about the only ex-
planation that can be offered is that
a mouse got hold of match and ig-
nited it, which set the fire Mr.. At
wood carried 100000 insurance on
the building but there was no insur-
ance on the contents. The building
was a complete loss. Mr.. Atwood
expects to begin the erection of a
new home to replace the one burned.

While returning home from Winner
last Monday evening, Mark Payne ran

that his Dodge coupe was pretty bad

tirely out of commission, and both
front and the rear fender on the right
side were badly bent. No one was
hurt and it was a rather lucky acci-
dent. We did not learn how the
