It is amusing to attend a moving
picture show, where some of the pic
tures are supposed to take you thru
the days of the revolution or civil war,
and you note as you watch every
movement of the hero and heroine,
how some of the scenes are such—
for instance you see the hero riding
breakneck down a country road, in
the revolutionary period, that has a
string of telephone poles stuck up to
greet tlie eye. Or the uniforms are
altogether contrary to what you havo
been taught to expect was used in
those days—doesn't it kinder grate
on your nerves? But it is pretty
hard to find a place to carry out tlie
scene end of the play, and thus we
must excuse our hero's picking out
the road with the 'phone poles.
The dedicating excercises for the
"Mellette Tree" on the state house
grounds at Pierre were held Tuesday
evening. The program consisted of
talks by Governor Vessey, Judge Whit
ing of the supreme court, and Doane
Robinson of the state historical so
ciety. This tree, planted on the state
grounds by Governor Mellette on the
first Arbor day of this state, will be
marked by a bronze plate set in a
huge boulder which has been placed
at the foot of the tree at its present
location to which It was moved at
the time of clearing the grounds for
the new arrangement of landscaping.
The ceremonies were under the man
agement of the Woman's club, and
beside the talks there was vocal music
by voices from the schools and other
organizes.

At Aberdeen the other day a de
mented man applied at the recruiting
office and wanted to enlist in the
navy, and remarked that he had be
longed to the regular army only a
short time previous, adding that he
had been discharged on account of
"heavy brain work." The recruiting
officer wired to Washington and the
answer received verified what the ap
plicant stated. He was told that the
government could not use him. The
real question is: If the man was dis
charged for being "oft" in the
story as is the saying, why did not
the government place him in an insti
tution and treat him or at least take
care of him instead of turning him
loose on the public? In the mean
time there are a lot of silk-stOCkinged

Secretary Sellers of the governor's
office is keeping in close touch with
the outbreak of the horse disease in
Bon Homme county, and has secured
the assistance cf government veterin
arians to work with State Veterinari
narian Hicks. The state veterinarian
after an investigation of the situation
takes the position that a quarantine
would not accomplish anything, as he
holds the trouble to be bacterial and
that it is not infectious, or communi
cable from one animal to another. It
is believed that frost or colder weath
er will eliminate the trouble .which
appears to be in the pastures, and
new hay, not affecting horBes .which
have been fed on old hay. So far the
trouble has not spread outside of
Bon Homme county so far as is
.known
and it is believed that the coming of
cooler weather will assist in confining
it to the area now infected. .JJnlesa
there should be a different view^of the
cause of the disease, there will be
no effort to quarantine, as such action
would have no effect If the state vet-'
erinarian's view of the cause of the
disease proves the corre&': one.
