D.--Ex-service men of South Dakota, having done their "bit" during the war, have decided to do their "bit" toward frustrating bandits who raid South Dakota banks. At Beresford nnd several other towns they are oo-operating with the officersin putting a stop to the epidemic of bank robberies. The organization perfected at Beresford is notable for the core taken in arranging all details for the prompt action of the World war veterans should hank bandits appear in the town. They have formed an armed vigilance committee and formulated plan» of procedure to be followed In case of emergency should either of the two banks in the town be raided by robbers. ^ ; i. Name* Kept Secret. The names of the members of the Legion vigilance committee are kept secret for obvious reasons. Rifles, shotguns and ammunition have been distributed among the members of the committee, and buildings in the vicinity of the two banks have been equipped with ladders to give easy access to the roofs which overlook the chie^ business street,' on which both banks are located. An automobile, containing two high powered rifles, has been stationed in a garage near the banks ready to give chase in the event of a holdup. A system of signals lms been devised so that members of the vigilance committee may be called Into action from either ban* without setting off the electric burglar alarms in 4h* two bank* - Ready at All Hoursr hi addition to these precauttoftg the city's special policeman 1ms been given full police authority and during banking hours will make his headquarters on a corner in close proximity to the two banks, and will have his motorcycle close at hand in the event pursuit of bank robbers becomes necessary. At all hours of the day or night ex-service men who are members of the vigilance committee will be ready to' respond at a minute's notice to alarms from either of the banks. Shepherd Dog Brings Aid to Injured Master Modesto, Ciilif.--Another sample of the reasoning powers of dogs was related here by J. M. Snodgrass, Coast Range mountain cattleman, who credits the saving of his life to Jerry, his big shepherd dog. Snodgrass was bucked off his horse nnd into a ravine 30 miles from the nearest town. He was injured internally and was unable to walk. He called Jerry to him. The cattleman lacked pencil or paper, and so he tied a handkerchief to the dog's collar and told him to go home Snodgrass said Jerry streaked away toward the ranch Mrs. Snodgrass said the dog came running, barking and whining excit edly. She saw the handkerchief and, with a brother-in-law, followed the dog back to his master. * Clieerful •day message to a man can ghtmr a General Electric Refrigerator far Christut0j so easily that your pocketbook will scarcely feel it!

During the struggle for American Independence, the wearing of homespun was a mark of •race, (Cppyrlicht.) fT WAS an exciting day for Billy * Burton when his father came home. Billy was standing in the middle of the roadway In front of Grandmother's, lifting with the sturdy strength of an eight-year-old the frail body of little Lou Ellen, and swinging her high over his head, while she made trills of delighted laughter. A breathtaking man in a khaki uniform with a shiny silver on the front swooped hint up in strong arms, and called loudly: "Mary! Mary !" Then Mother came running with a funny crylug sound, and Billy jumped up and down and shouting, "My father's,a "Captain in the army. He's come home from China. My father . . ." and little Lou Ellen sat forlornly on the-Sidewalk, quite forgotten. After that they went to the Fort to live. l/ou Ellen, who was a sort of second cousin of Billy's, and whose Daddy was only a lieutenant, went there to live, too. One night, when he was lying awake, he heard his father saying his name "It's a shame, Mary," Father was 8aylng, "the way you've been bringing that boy up to be such a sissy! Why, he doesn't swim, or play football, or anything 1 Just plays' hour after hour with a three-year-old baby --and a girl, at that!" Mother's voice was low, and Billy couldn't hear her answer, but Father snid, "Well, I'll take hold of him, and before long teach him to be a regular he-man!" - It was the next Saturday that Billy's father took him over to the riding hall and began to give him lessons in horseback riding. Billy went without question or comment, but he understood that this was the beginning of his being made Into a "regular heman." He watched wistfully for every sign of approval from his hero, his sober face breaking out into a delighted smile when Father would look down from his horse Ginger and say briefly, "Good1!" On the way home, when he saw Lou Ellen waving at him from her front steps, he pretended to be busy with a button on his Jacket, and he did not make any reply. All summer ^illy worked hard at his riding. And finally he was allowed to ride Chest.v, and to leara XS jump! And only when Father had gone away from the Fort did he swing Lou Ellen over his head, or play tag with her. He felt a little guilty about Lou Ellen, she was such a plucky little sport about It. When he saw her playing all alone on her front porch (she was the only child at the Fort nnder seven) he felt lite a deserter. But he hardened his heart. He knew his father wanted him ta be a "regular he-man." At the end of the summer there was a big horse show. Billy's^ father's eyes shone as he told Billy about It! "Look here. Son," he said, "If you get to be a really good horseman, I'll let you ride with me la the Pair Jumping!" And when It came time for the entries there were their names posted together: "Pair Jumping: Captain Lester, Captain Drummond; Lieutenant Glenn, Miss Rowea ; Captain Barton, William Burton." Day after day they pat Ginger and Chesty over the fences, over the post and rail. And It was up to Billy to win, really, for of course Father would easily be the best I Up to Billy to win, for hie father 1 Every one at the Fort came out to the horse show. When the six hon In the Pslr Jumping came into the ring, every one applauded and shouted, especially when they saw Ginger and Chesty, with Captain Burton and Billy up. Billy sat proud and Intent; he had to win for Father, to show Father he was a "he-man." They had to take four jumps, two going away from the wide, open door that led to the street, two going back toward it. Riding easily aide by side, they cleared the first! The second! It was just as they turned to face the door that Billy, eyes for a moment lifted from the course, saw through the open door Lou Ellen come dashing down the street, clinging wildly to the mane of a runnifig pony. Just they came opposite the door, the pony gave a lurch, and Lou Ellen spilled in a little white heap oa the road. Billy's mind working wildly. He would lose the race for Father! He would be a sissy to stop being a heman to pick up a baby! The crowd gasped to see Billy Burtont horse make a sudden smooth dash for the door. Without pausing in his stride, Chesty reached the still figure In the road, hesitated just long enough for Billy to dismount (he was too small to reach down), gather the limp Lou Bl> len in his arms, and mount again, and went off at a smooth canter toward the Fort hospital. Twenty minutes later Billy Barton came slowly out onto the hospital steps to face his father. He had not beard the doctor say: "Five minutes later, Captain Burton, and it would have been too late to operate. Tour son. . . ." Billy, raising his brown eyes bravely to face the consequences, was surprised to see tears in his father's eyes, and to hear an unsteady tremble in his father's voice, as he grasped bis hand, and said, "I'm proud of you, Billy.
