Losing MillionH
! The South is annually losing millions
OF dollars through the higher cost OF
hauling over bad country roads. This
! could be saved by the construction Of
; good roads. The men Who like the
President of the great religious con
! vention 20 whom have referred. are
preaching throughout the South the
gospel OF good roads are doing much
! for humanity, and their work is OF far.
reaching importance. No one can be
too enthusiastic on this subject, no one
can make a mistake in concentrating
his work tor the betterment Of his
country upon the building OF good
roads.
The growth Of the automobile indus
try has greatly added to the necessity
for good roads. If the automobile ba
, considered only a plaything OF the
we'll to do. 1t would still be a factor in
national upbuilding of far-reaching
than a toy Of luxury Of the hundreds
Of thousands who are daily using them
In oity and in country.
II the interest aroused by motorists
! In the need OF good roads should bring
about their general construction. the
amount OF money, vast as II is. which
! has been expended in the buying and
| running OF motor cars would be, count
! ed from a national Viewpoint a very
| wise investment The annual loss from
! bad roads is greater than the cost OF
operating all tho motor cars that ars
] owned in America. But the automobile
, ls not simply pleasure vehicle: IT is
| an expression or exponent OF new
| power which has come into the world
| for the betterment Of mankind. the ad-
vancement Of civilization and the enor-
| nous expansion of national progress
and prosperity. The motor car means
that mocha meal power for transpoTta-
| ton. for business and pleasure. and in
various agricultural pursuits. is to take
| the place of muscle power. About
three qua rters Of a century ago. when
| the first locomotive built in the United
States for an American railroad was
constructed for a Southern road, the
far-seeing people OF that day named
! II The Best Friend" They realized
that mechanical power AS typifed In
the locomotive and the railroad mark
ed a new era In human affairs,
| mighty step in the advancement Of
civilization To-day the little gasolene
engine which runs the motor car. the
motor truck, which pumps the water
for all farm uses from that of supply
ing the house to that Of irrigatinS
purposes, might be called The Best
Friend" The motor car is merely one
of the influences at work to bring this
new power, with all It's influence for
good into universal play. The motor
car thus becomes Il tremendous In
fuence in the creation OF universal
sentiment for good roads. and at the
came time stimulates the mechanical
genius OF the rising generation. quick
ems the inventive faculties OF thousands
Of young men. and brings to the agri
cultural interests Of the country new
possibilities undreamed OF few years
ago.

Bitten BY Mad Dog

Pierre, Dec. 81. Special: With a
gaping wound in his leg, inflicted by
a dog innoculated with rabies.
Merrill Holley tonight is being rush
ed to Chicago, in the hopes that pro-
per medical aid can lie given before
the fatal disease advances to a
stage where it is beyond the power
of modern medice.
He will be taken to the Pasteur
Institute, and 1t is thought that if
there is no delev IN tram service
the lad will not lose his life.
b The city was thrown into a frenzy
for an hour today when the
the Infatuated dog was on his RAM
page, and it was not only until the
officers and several citizens, armed
with guns, ran the dangerous beaS st
to earth and shot him that the
people relaxed from the strain
under which thev had been been
laboring.
However, before the dog was kill
ed, it had bitten several others,
and as a result all dogs known to
have been infected have been order
ed shot and the mayor has issued an
order that all dogs in the city be
muzzled for an indefinite period.
All dogs which are not so treated
will be shot at sight by the officers
of the city.

thousand bushels of wheat and other
small, grains and two hundred thous-
and pounds of speltz, owned by
Winhurst and STEELE, stored in the
S. d. Smith elevator located in this
city were utterly destroyed by fire
last night.
The building in which the grain
was stored, was of the best elevators
in this part of the state, and was
valued at So. ZOO. On this there were
nothing to protect the owners of the
grain, and they will have to stand
the total loss.
The fire started late and before
the department could arrive on the
scence the flames had eaten into the
building and grain and though the
men fought for several hours. it
was unable to save either the build
ing or its contents.

Water Tank ExplOdeS

Groton, S. D., Jan. l.-Groton
was the scene of a surprising explo-
sion yesterday afternoon, when a
stove in the kitchen of the City Bak-
cry blew up and shattered the win
dows and doors and broke 2 by 6
joint in the ceiling above the stove.
There is much speculation as to the
cause of the explosion. The stove
was connected up with pipes feeding
the hot water tank, and 1t is thought
that the supply of water got too low,
and the steam resulting from filling
up the pipes caused the blow-up.
The bakery is located in the build
ing formerly occupied by the Kin
schi store on Main street. and is 80
feet long, divided into three rooms,
a front salesroom, a middle room
and the kitchen in the rear. The
windows and doors IN the kitchen
were all blown out. windows on the
left side of the work room and the
big display window on the right side
of the salesroom. the force of the
explosion following a diagonal line
from the rear Of the building to the
front. Four people were in the
building but none were injured,
though the shock was sufficient to
| shake them up considerably.

cornstalks do not add sufficient
vegetable matter to repair the
waste that goes on through the
mere act of cultivation; hence a soil
out of physical condition. In a wet
time it becomes pasty, tends to
crack open, does not hold sufficient
moisture. In short, the farm on
which this followed becomes what is
