NUMBER 11 Military Training For School Boys The trustees of the Ekalaka school district, at their meeting on March ilth adopted resolutions which means much to the pupils of the schools. A method pro- viding for military training of the high school boys, known as the \Wyoming Plan for High School Cadets\ has been adopt- ed, the plan having been orgin- ated by Capt. E. Steever of the U. S. Army corps. It was first adopted in the schools of Chey- enne and proved so successful that it has spread to all ,schools of that state. Prof. F. L. Funkenbusch will have charge of the training of the Cadets and aa soon tiS the equipment arrives. which will consist of the ammunition and rifles, scaling walls and grounds will be prepared and the new plan put in operation. The en- listment of the boys in the Cadet corps does not make them liable for military duty, but simply af- fords them the opportunity to make themselves bettet fitted physically and mentally for later life. The Cadets hope to co- operate with the Ekalaka Rifle Club in arranging and securing a t ifle range to be used by both organizations. While it is to be regreted that more time cannot be seeured for the training of the cadets during this term, the new plan will have progressed at least to such an extent that it will be in good shape for next fall. The girls of the high school will take up First Aid Work as outlined by the Red Cross Socie- ty, being assisted by Miss Haftle of the school. Surely the new , Fulton, S. D. plan will meet with the approval Carpenters were at work th is of the parents and ought to place week putting in a maple wood the Ekalaka schools at the head floor at the Charters Store. of the list.

The work at the postoffice is being taken care of by his deputies. Mr. Booth has put in some long hard hours as Uncle Sams servant and should be entitled to a vacation in the spring. Surely this is some winter, and unless the snow commences to go off at a much faster clip we fear there isn't going to be enough live stock standing about to cast a shadow on a peanut. 1186, no doubt, was a hard old winter but we doubt if it en- countered as many real honest- to.goodness blizzards as visited us this year. Feed is getting awful scarce and in many places is entirely gone. [ED-- LEJ di••• •••••••• CIO Don't Forget The Dates Have Been Changed Shows, Wed. and Sat. Nights Skating, Thur. and Fri.

Aldermen Wm. Nims, F. M. Dworshak and M. O. Tracy will at that time find their pre- sent term of office as having ex- pired, but we want to voice our- selves as highly in favor of re- electing each of them. The pre- sent town board has made us a good set of officers and when men have been tried and proven efficient we should urge them to accept a unanimous re-election. Serving as an alderman is not a paying job to be sure, but as long as someone interested in the fu- ture must act let's keep the men who by their actions in the past have proven themselves real live boosters. Mrs. L. K. Northrup Word was received yesterday announcing the death of Mrs. L. K. Northrup at Whittier, Calif. Deceased was formerly Miss Lucy Markin and a popular school teacher here and she had a large acquaintance in this section.

A. Holt; Vice President, S. J. Emswiler; Treasurer. M. O. Tracy. The matter of electing a secretary wss postponed until the next meeting as it is the desire of the members of the new club to secure a person who can spare the time needed to look after the many duties\of that office. The constitution and by-laws were adopt,ed after a few minor changes had been made. A committee on membership' was appointed and they will re. port at the next meeting. It is honed that a membership of at least 50 will be secured. The initiation fee of $5.00 was decid- ed on and the monthly dues will be $1.00 per month. Out-of-town members will pay only one-half of those figures. At the meeting Monday evening, the standing committees for the ensuing year and the directors will be named. Everyone is invited to the next meeting. Schuyler Spriggs Schuyler Spriggs passed away at his home south of Ekalaka in the Lakeside neighborhood last Saturday. He had been ill prac- tically all winter and the end came as the result of a siege of typhoid fever. Deceased was well known in this section where he has resided for the past ten years and numbered as his friends all those who knew him. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, three daughters..and other relatives who have the sympathy Steve Morton went out home of the entire community. The Monday after entertaining the funeral services were held Tues- boys with a few games of rum- day and burial made in the Elgin my. We understand Steve has invented a machine gun to be mounted on turtles and that in event of a row with the Kaiser he will fully equip at least 40000 and send them down Beaver on their march to the sea. A spring fastened to the turtles tail shoots 'er off. \Woodrow\, our eagle, died yesterday. He got so plumb dis- gusted waiting for spring that he just up and cashed in, not even wishing to see what effect St. Patrick's would have on Ahe vveather man. Maybe, it wasn't the weather that kilt him, it is just possible that he was effected by the atmospheric conditions brought about by too much re- forming around the old berg. cemetery. Married in Illinois Know what Billy Mowbray has went and done? Well, he's done got married. And he never even sent us an invite or hinted that he was quitin' the old bachelor bunch.

The groom is well known here, and to him and his bride we ex- tend congratulations and best wishes for many years of happi- ness and prosperity. ===i As You Know I 1 11 The Ekalaka Drug Co.
