PROPOSED AMENDMENT

There is still
altogether too much of the "swat
your-neighbor" spirit in the world
and it too frequently creeps into
oar cooperative counsels. Cooper
ation based upon that foundation
is sure to go to smash. But the
kind that is growing most rapidly
today is of the finer sort that tries
to put into practice the advice of
the Teacher who bade us love our
neighbors even as ourselves.—
Farm Stock ami Home.
Ex-Governor C. N. Herried,
who is classed among the wealthy
land-owners of South Dakota, is
in favor of the "single-tax,!reform
and is making speeches in favor of
it every opportunity he gets.

some opponent.

"The Churchman" the leading
organ of the Episcopal church,
speaks as follows of a new line of
work that has just been taken up
by Rev. Dr. Edward Ashley, rec
tor of St. John's church at Chey
enne Agencv:
"Provision has been made for the
appointment of the Rev. Edward
Ashley for general missionary
work among the Indians of South
Dakota. For nearly forty years
Mr. Ashley has given himself
whole-heartedly to the Indian
work and has been stationed for
most of that time on the Cheyenne
River reservation. In future,
while continuing the oversight of
that work, he will give Bishop
Biller the invaluable aid of his
wide acquaintance with the work
among the Indians on all the South
Dakota reservations."
Marshall A. Eidam, well known
among our Forest City school
"kids", writes as follows to ye
editor from Mitchell, S. D., where
he is attending the Dakota Wes
leyan University:
"Theres nothing like getting the
news from home and I certainly
find it in the Forest City Press.
The weather here has been ex
tremely spring like, but will prob
ably result in a big snowstorm.
"I must ask how the "printers
devil" is getting along. Suppose
she can set type as fast as a type
setting machine can by this time.
Well, guess I had better close, for
its about time to get our "hash"
(clinner)."

SPECIAL MEETINGS
Our Sunday School is trying to
develop a little active life alonsr
ciyie lines as well as religiously.
To begin with, it was the Sunday
School which invited Hon. E. C.
Issenhuth to give the members a
talk on "Good Roads." «Then they
have adopted the idea of trying to
get some public speaker to address
them on some popular subject of
the day, on the last Sunday of each
quarter, to take the place of the
quarterly review exercises. In ac
cordance with this program, Rev.
A. J. Tiffany of Aberdeen S. I).
was invited to visit us on the last
Sunday in March. After writing
him on the subject, he offered to
come on the preceding Sunday and
stay all week, for the purpose of
holding a series of revival meet
ings on each week-day cyening, in
addition to the two Sundays.
So he is to be with us on next
Sunday, March 22, when he will
give a talk to the Sunday School
in the afternoon, and in the even
insr hold regular religious services,
to which every one is earnestly in
vited.
To carry out the above program
some extra funds will be needed,
so the members of the Sunday
School have been as:ked to make
a special contribution to the reg
ular collection. on the first Sunday
in April, of an amount equal to
whatever their age may be.
Mr. Tiffany has generously off
ered to come free of all expense to
us, except his entertainment and
transportation to and from Get
tysburg, all of which has already
been provided for.
