PUBLISHED AT THE STATE CAPITAL

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Entered in the postotiice at Pierre, 5. .
as second class matter.

The house hassed two bills yester-
terday, taking it is said, $50, 900 worth
of work from the newspapers. Mr.
White introduced them, one to dis
continue the publication of the insur-
ance statements, and the other to re-
quire the companies to file the same
statement with the register of deeds
''sfor general information. He sup
ported his bill in a little speech in
which he criticised the 200 burden
which publication places on the insur-
ance companies, and declared that he
introduced the bill because the state
ments were of no value and conveyed
no information to anybody. Com
ment has been made on the fact that
he introduced another to require
them to file the same statement in the
Office of the register of deeds for gen.
eral information. Some members are
curious to know why he would re-
quire the statement to be filed in the
registers office if he really believed
that 1t is of mo value to anybody"

OWN ATELEPHONE LINE.

The farmers in the country about
Gkobojo have formed an association
of their own and purchased the tele-
phone line of the Great Western sys-
TEN, which runs north from this city.
They have formed company under
the name of the Gas Belt Telephone
Company of Okobojo. The lines as
they exist at the present run from
this city to Onida, by way of Okobo-
10, and from Okobojo spread out IN
different directions to cover a good
scope of country, reaching about fif-
teen miles north of that place and
quite distance west. 1t is the pur-
pose of the new company to make
several farm extensions early the
coming spring and cover the whole OF
western Sully county with their sys'
TEN. This sale disposes of all the
holdings of the Great Western on the
east side of the Missouri, and that
company will devote itself to covering
| the western half of the state.

An educator says that it seems al
most impossible to convince teachers
and school officers that interest is the
great compelling force OF school life,
and we believe it is true. The inter
est cannot be coaxed, bought or driven
but must be created in accordance
with Psychological law. Yet we go
on apparently thinking that inter-
est is' something for which the
pupil is mainly responsible, some
thing which he should bring to school
with him, not something which the
school should create. To say
that scholars have no interest in the
school work ought to be the severest
indictment of the school. The fact is
that the measure of real efficiency of
of the school. And yet, we are all
time trying to induce pupils to work
by other means: prizes, marks, praise
and even the rod.

Some one has figured out that life
insurance statistics show that in the
last twenty-five years the average dur
alton Of life is increased by two years.
This is encouraging and due mainly
to greater medical and surgical know
ledge, improved sanitation, and
general better conditions of life. If
more people would stop burning the
candle at both ends by fast living and
injudicious habits the coming years
would show an even greater increase.
1t is only too true, as the refrain of
an old song says, that with many peo-
pie, 1t is not the miles we travel
but the pace that kill" Certainly
the pace of our modern American
life is too rapid and it is to that fact
we have 80 many nervous wrecks and
sudden deaths.

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 it against books and periodicals
that present vulgar and demoraliZing
pictures of life and it's purpose? Per-
haps you are among those who have
found that The Youths Companion
occupies the same place in the family
reading that the high-minded young
man or woman holds among your as
sociates. The Companion is good
without being "goody-goody". 1t is
entertaining, it is informing. In it's
stories it depicts the truly, but it
chooses those phases of life in which
duty, honor, loyalty are the guiding
motives.

that he is working hard to improve
educational affairs in this state. He

it is those that he is striving to bring
up to a higher standard. We believe
that Mr.. Ustrud should receive great

'sence, had been searching for him
more than an hour when he learned
