GOOD Company for 1909.

You are careful what choice of friends
the young people of your household
make. You do not open wide the door
to those whose speech and behavior
betray ill-breeding and lax morals. Are
you as careful to shut 1t against books
and periodicals that present vulgar and
dsmoralizing pictures of life and its
purrose9 Perhaps you are among those
who have found that THE YourH's

the family reading that the high-minded
young man or woman holds among your

from Pierre to R. Insinger. chairman of

will come to Spokane August to IA as
a representative of the state, also en-
courage as large delegation as possible,
adding:
II note what you say in regard to
making preparations for Governors Day
at the National Irrigation Congress. Our
legislature foels the necessity of hewing
to the line on appropriations this year,
and it is question whether it would
make any special appropriation for a
delegation from this state to attend the
congress but think it possible for us
to be able to appoint some delegates
who would be glad to avail themselves
for the opportunity Of attending this
great meeting"

Vessey that the chief executive of every
state or territory has power to appoint
Is delegates. Ten delegates may be ap-
pointed by the mayor of every city Of

May Intsrest Homesteaders.

Attorney Nelson, of Rapid City, in a
letter dated Feb. 9Th, says: have just
received from my Washington attorney
decision which is of importance to a
great number of people who have filed,
abandoned or relinqiusbed homesteads
since Feb, 8, 1908.
The decision refer TO is in Moritz vs..
Hintz aud was finally decided Jan. 4,
1909. The Secretary of the Interior
holds in decision that any person who
has taken homestead at any time, eth
or before or after Feb. 8, 1908, or who
has abandoned it since that date, is en-
titled to a second homestead whenever
he can clearly show that he has received
no benefit from it or has not relinquished
it for a consideration, or initiated it
fraudulsntly. I quote the decision as
follows:
"If the allegations set forth be true,
he has never in fact enjoyed the privi-
leges intended to be extended under
the homestead law. He entered the
land in good faith and relinquished it
without consideration. If the facts are
true It rendered the land uninhabitable
and uncultivable, 80 that the object Of
the homestead law was effectually de-
stroyed, and he has not in fact had an
entry under the homestead law. Depart
ment decision of June LIST, 1908, holding
otherwise is vacated and recalled"
In continuing the decision the Secrs-
tary states in general terms that If the
homesteader has not secured the bene-
fits of the homestead law since he filed
and has abandoned the land, he is en-
titled to a second homestead, even
although such abandonment is since
February 9th, 1908.

Time 70 Get Action.

The movement started last week for
the organization Of business mems
club in Spearfish was most timely, and
the project is one that should not be
allowed to lag until the full object is
attained. In these days of sharp COM
petition organization and concentration
are the only means that will bring re.
suits, either in private business or mu-
nicipal affairs. In short the only way
to get what you want is to ''go after it,.
Spearfish has natural advantages not
possessed by any town in the north
Hills. Unlike most of the Hill towns,
there is room here for city without
perching dwellings. on cliffs like bird
houses, and making it necessary for
business man to climb two or three
hundred steps before he can get dinner.
= There are great many things
that of right belong to toSpearish that she
has SO far failed to get. And the prin-
cipal reasonafor thisris that she has
never gone after them in the right way.
There has in the past been one or two
attempts at organization for business,
but they have been allowed to lapse
either from dissension or lack of inter-
est, and nothing worth while has ever
come of them.
The time for action has now come
for efficient work by business mems
club. There Is no question about 1t.
There is no reason why Spearfish should
not double her population in the next
two years, and she will do it IL the busi-
mess men do their part. 1t is up to
them. A general meeting of business
men and everyone interested in the
growth and welfare of Spearfsh has
been called for next Wednesday even
ing. There is little doubt that this
meeting will decide the question of
whether our town shall 60 ahead or
stand still during the next five years.
Everybody who is in favor of progress
and prosperity should be present There
should be no hanging back and waiting
for somebody else to move first. 1t takes
all kinds of people-big and little--to
make town, and no one should feel
that because his part in the business
affairs of the place is not as large as
that of others there is nothing for him
to do in the movement for a greater
Spearfish. Even the smallest wheel in
a piece of machinery is important, and
this movement, to be success, should
be a general movement of the entire
town.-Spearfish Enterprise.
The above article has 30 many peril
nent points applicable to our commun-
ity, that We give it space in this paper.
Custer has as many natural advantages
as any place in the Black Hills for a
prosperous city. 1t is time our citizens
set their think-tanks in motion to form
ulate some plan of organization that we
may not be- left behind our sister cities.
Wake up and be ready to embrace the
opportunities that present themselves.
The CHRONICLE reporter did not set
the wheels of his cranium in motion
early enough In the week to prepare an
article upon that subject for this issue.
Next week he will endeavor to present
some suggestions for consideration of the
populace. In the meantime keep in
mind the fact that IT Is TIME FOR ACTION.

eggs will be supposed to know whether
they are fresh or otherwise. Any stale
eggs found in the possession of any
dealer will be considered prima, facie
evidence that he has them for sale and
shall be subject to prosecution under
the law. Any farmer found guilty of
selling, offering or exposing for sale any
decomposed or partly incubated eggs
will be dealt with according to the law
without discrimination.

Banks Will Lose Pickup.

Jefferson City, July 19.-Goyer-
nor Hadley and State Auditor Cor
don have determined to break up
an old custom of permitting the
board OF managers of the various
state institutions to draw large
sums of money from their biennial
appropriations in lump sums. Here
after they will all be held downto
what sum is required for each call
endar month, and for no quarter,
embracing three months, will, they
be permitted to draw In excess of
cne-eilhth OF the total sum appro-
priated, or exceeding half of the
appropriation Tor any one year, in
cases where new buildings are be-
ing erected.
1t has been suspected all along
that local banks are behind the
move to draw more money than
was required for monthly expenses,
and as a consequence it was de-
termined to break up the custom.
Today the governor and auditor
held conferences with the heads OF
the institutions or representatives
from the board OF managers and
informed them OF the steps taken.
