The campaign for 100000 for
Emergency and Casualty Hospitals
was recommended to the citizens of
the District as a worthy cause by
Commissioners Cuno II. Rudolph and
James +. oyster today.
Commissioner Rudolph. the presi-
dent of the board of Commissioners,
in the following statement declared: ::
The Emergency and Casualty Hos
pitalS perform Il necessary public
function in caring for the large num-
ber of persons injured or taken i'll on
the streets. Their ambulances are
always ready to answer calls from
every corner of the District. They
ire worthy institutions, deserving of
public support.
Appropriations Inadequate.
although they receive annually
appropriations from Congress through
the board of charities for handling
emergency cases. these allotments are
nearly always exhausted during the
year and recently have not been large
enough to cover the actual cost of
hospital treatment
Commissioner oyster Joined in in
uorsing the drive for funds which
he considers necessary for mainten-
ance of proper hospital facilities in
the city, in view of the demand for
emergency ambulance work.
Emergency Hospital has at present
an Indebtedness of approximately
$500. 900, contracted in establishing
much of the present hospital work,
officials state. Withholding these eN-
penditures. according to officials,
would have meant Curtailment of
much of the service now given.
Lose $1,000 Each Week.
The two hospitals lose on an aver
age of $1,000 q week on charity

Clifford, former assistant Secretary of
the Treasury. and chairman of the
campaign. Whether payment is
made or not a patient, whatever the
circumstances. is never neglected" +"
declared Col. Clifford.
The situation was summed up by
Col. Clifford in the following state
ment:
Il am sure that there is no one
who would tolerate a condition un-
der which badly injured person
brought to Emergency or Casualty
Hospital would be held up at the
door and asked whether or not they
could pay, and turned away if they
could not; yet such a condition is in
evitable, unless funds to carry on the

4 Uniaue Private Secretary.

Impressions may differ, jealouSieS
are always present in the Immediate
circle of a Presidents daily life, but
the success of Woodrow Wilson's first
administration may be attributed in
no small measure to the warmth, en-
thusiasm and political Sagacity of his
private secretary, Joseph p. Tumulty.
No one in recent years had been the
private secretary of the Tumulty type.
He was unique. He was neither the
Machiaveli that so many OF his
enemies thought him to be, nor did he
exert the influence over Mr.. Wilson
which so many inaccurate accounts OF
their friendship would seem to indi-
cate.
President Wilson listened to Tumul-
ty. read his memoranda and took his
advice on so many important matters
that in the inner circle those who
were dismayed by Tumulty's growing
influence sought to check it-and
eventually did.
Mr.. Wilson. as governor-elect Of
New jersey, did not select Tumulty
to be his private secretary because of
a desire to have at his elbow a man
of his own temperament, but because
he knew he needed some one with the
qualities he himself lacked. Tumulty
knew New Jersey politics; he was a
progressive in the state Legislature
and Il conscientious worker. He
was, moreover, frank. He was one OF
the few men who could stand before
Woodrow Wilson and tell him in plain
language wherein he was making
mistake. Most of the other advisers
Mr.. Wilson had were afraid of him
rather than incur his disfavor they
would couch their dissent in euphe-
mistic phrases.

CHAPTER XIX.
How Tumulty Came to BE Selected
as Private Secretary-His Influence
ON the Administration.

Woodrow Wilson was aided in no
small extent in what he accomplished
in his first administration by the
astuteness of his private secretary,
Joseph Il. Tumulty, and the constant
counsel of Col. House and Albert Sid
ney Bur!cSon, Postmaster General,
who had for many years been a MEM
Der of the House of Representatives
Naturally the judgments of these
advisers became the source OF much
debate among President Wilson $
friends. as would be natural in poiih-
cal matters. For every time that one
man is selected the friends of the
disappointed candidates are loud IN
their expressions of criticism. 1t has
always been the viewpoint of politl-
clans themselves that more enemies
than friends are made by appoint
ments to office.
Lack of contact with Washington
itself-Mr. Wilson had studied Con-
gress only in theoretical sense
made the first few years "A perilous
proposition for President Wilson. He
was not a mixer. He was never
known to slap any one on the back in
jovial fashion. He was sociabie
enough upon occasions, good -humorcd
and a fascinating conversationallst'
but he did not know how to inspire
the practical politicians with that
species of support which means work
ing tooth and nail and with unfiinch-
ing loyalty.

THE FARMERS SHORT COURSE

The Farmers Short Course, which
was advertised for Wood, Wednesday
afternoon of this week was held in
Masonic hall, and in spite of the
rather threatening weather and the
bad reads a very good crowd of our
farmers and their women folks as
sembled at the hall at the scheduled
time and listened to the very inter
esting and instructive talks. The pro-
gram was carried out as advertised.
Rev. p. j. Kussman made very
good talk on "Our County and its OPP
portunitics, after which C. l.. Starr,
of the State College, made a very good
talk on a Balanced Farm Program. "
Mrs. Helen ID. Lorshbough, of the
State extension force, who was billed
to give a talk and demonstration on
Utility of Sacks, slightly changed
her demonstration and showed how
to make dolls for the little folks.
Turner Wright, the livestock special
ist, talked on Livestock in a Well
Balanced Farm Program and Hog
Feeding. His talk was perhaps the
bcst and most appreciated of any on
he program, He advocated the buy
ng Of livestock when it was slumping
n price, and selling when the market
was jumping. He gave a good prac-
teal straight forward talk and it was
appreciated by all those present.
c. l.. Starr closed the meeting with
4 talk pleading for the retention Of
thc county agent work in this county
by the voters voting favorably on the
appropriation at the primary election
next Tuesday. Several South Dakota
songs were sung during the meeting.
and taken all in all it was very suc-
'essful meeting, and we believe that if
It least four such meetings year
could be arranged for it would do
our people and the whole community
world OF good. M "a

CORRECTION

l wish to make correction in the
notice of the result of the Christmas
Seal sale, published in last week s
paper. Instead of 9S70 and 29l4O
seals sold by Wood and White River
schools respectively, it should have
been 1872 for Wood and 2914 for
White River. The award of second
prize to Wood was figured with the
idea that Miss Haugo's fourteen pu-
uils ONLY, sold seals for the Wood
school. After learning that both
schools sold seals, the per capita sale,
being re,:koncd with. thirty four, in
stead of fourteen pupils, was greatly
reduced.
! regrt't that this has happened and
that the five dollar check must be re-
called. 1t should be awarded to the
Rankin school in Berkiey district
whose Ter capita sale was sixty-two
cents. Helen NJ. Fridy.

that God is continually trying to re-
veal to mortal man. Everybody well
come. p. J. Kussman, Pastor.

BOARDING SCHOOL Wins
BOTH CUP and BANNER

At the basket ball tournament held
at the Boarding School near Mission,
Friday and Saturday of last week, the
Boarding School team was declared
the winner of both the cup and ban
aer, winning three games in success
sion.
The first game was played between
Lakeview and Witten, resulting in a
victory for the Witten team by a
score of IL to 16. The second game
was played by the Wood and Boarding
School teams and the final score OF
this game stood Wood, 7, Boarding
School, IA. The third game was be-
tween Mission and st. Francis, and
this game resulted in victory for
Mission by score of IL to II. Wit
ten and the Boarding School played
the fourth game with a score Of Wit
ten, IS, Boarding School, -. The
fifth and last game was played 0e
tween the, Mission High school and
the Boarding School and resulted IN
a score of 20 for the Boarding School
and II for the Mission high, and the
Boarding School team was therefore
declared winner of both the trophy
cup and the banner.
While the members Of the st. Fran
els, Mission high and Boarding School
teams were net large they were very
fast, and they had the further advan-
tage of being more familiar with play
ing on large floor.
Wood played perhaps the best game
they have played this season, and our
boys played an exceptionally good de-
fensive game, holding the Boarding
School team down to a low score. AS
this was the first game that either
of the teams played in the tournament
and the players were all fresh it was
a battle of which our boys may vigil
feel proud. The last three games of
the series were very fast and were
we'll worth the money. The Mission
Boarding School, by playing u steady,
reliable game, managed to win, but the
issue was in doubt until the whistle
blew. The gymnasium, at the Board
ing School is easily twice as large as
the floor our boys have been accuSt-
omed to playing on, and this had a
tendency to confuse our boys and they
were at q distinct disadvantage from
the start. The three teams having fre
quent access to this large floor played
the fastest offensive games while the
other teams had much more Difficult
ty in getting their offensive started.
This was the first basket ball tour
nament that has been held in this part
of the country, and it is hoped that
even better games NAV be held next
year. There was good attendance
at all games, both Friday and Satur-
day.
The Boarding School entertained til
visiting teams at four meals and lod%-
ing Friday night and they proved
themselves to be royal hosts, and
everyone appreciated their thoughtful
ness, courtesy and hospitality.

ALFALFA ESSAY CONTEST CLOSED


Farm Bureau has held in cooperation
with Mrs. Fidy, superintendent of
schools, and the school teachers of the
county, has closed with 79 essays en-
tered in the contest. The essays will
be judged this week by three judges
and will be judged for. both compo-
sition and material. c. L. Starr, Tur-
ner Wright and Mrs. Lorshbough, all
of the State College at Brookings,
will judge the ESSAYS this week while
they are here putting on series of
meetings all over the county. The es-
says in the contest all go by number
and will be judged by the judges by
these numbers.
The following ESSAY is number 80.
and was submitted by q sixth grade
pupil:
Alfalfa
Alfalfa is the great gift from Spain
to the United States. Its growth in
Asia and other countries proves it
will grow under any conditions.
The word alfalfa means best and Is
to feed what Acme is to feed because
it either means best or highest.
1t supplies an abundance of nitro
gen to the soil and at the same time
gives off good forage which is rich
n protein. Therefore it gives to the
earth the most costly element, nitro
gen, and to the animals the most
costly feeds protein, and only asks
good care in return.
It adds to the moisture of the soil
by opening it up so rain and snow
can follow its roots and be stored.
It is the greatest Of all hay crops for
any kind Of stock as we'll as poultry
because it contains more protein 1t
is one Of our best silage materials. 1t
offers Us a good profit from the sale
Of seed, which can be marketed By
the Growers Association at Rapid City.
The hay is the best consumed at
home and marketed in livestock, ,poul-
try or butterfat. Our markets are
too far to encourage hauling hay, but
home demand Is often a good market.
Anyone who has ever used il as a
nasture say it is indispensable. We
have fifteen acres on our farm and
want more.
Mellette county has truly been call
ed diversified farming country, as it
has lots of waste lands as we'll as fer
tile plains and therefore alfalfa is
needed to build up the soil and main
tain the fertility for crops to follow.
If we care to diversity our methods
we must include the best of legumes
which Is alfalfa.
Last year the Alfalfa Tour came to
our township and it proved a wonder
full encouragement to the community
and I think it would even be great
er success this year. We must all put
our votes In for the election Of our
County Agent and boost him, alfalfa
and Mellette county to the limit.
With these points duly proven | am
ure every one in the county will see
the great necessity of planting at
least five acres more Of alfalfa this
year.
