ANOTHER BOOST
FOR GOOD ROADS

Pierre, Sept. 1.-THE good
roads move in the counties covered
by government forest reserve in
the western half of the state will
get assistance through a provision
of the agricultural appropriation
bill passed at the last session of
congress. This provision gives to
such counties, ten per cent of the
receipts from the forest reserve,
for road building in the territory
covered. This is in addition to
the fund which has been coming
for several years, in which five per
cent of the receipts are turned over
to the counties, to be divided be-
tween the road and school funds.
This is already 81, 226 available in
the new fund. and the governors
office has been notified that it will
be forwarded. 1t is suggested that
this fund be used to help along
the road projects already under
way, and being worked, instead Of
being scattered about generally.
as such a method will bring better
results, than by attempting to
scatter the fund in small amounts
generally over the counties.

Federal Aid on Roads.

Here is a chance for South Oak
ota to get some good road work
started.
The late unlamented congress
appropriated half a million dollars
to be spent in experimental work
in constructing improved high
ways in each of the several states.
The money will be apportioned
probably among the several states
that meet the requirements of the
new law.
1t is proposed that each state
taking advantage Of this share of
the federal fund must eXpend OF
its own money twice the amount
which the government devotes
there. Thus if South Dakota
could get one fourth of the fund
or SD, 800 aud the SO, 600 more
some very noticeable progress
could be made in creating some of
these various cross-state highways.
A start once made the work would
rapidly progress in every direction
under state and natural patronage,
it is believed. Aberdeen Ameri-

Tie Individual Cup.

The fat man had a rice new
drinking cup. 1t collapsed into a
metal case and was pulled out
when in use.
He tried it for the first time on
a day coach, comparing it mentally
with the battered old piece of
greasy tinware that the railroad
furnished. 1t worked so very
nicely that every few minutes he
would walk to the cooler, take out
his cup, and with a look of salts
faction on his face, get a drink.
The passengers watched him
with much envy. Finally one Of
the five children travelling with
their mother greatly desired a
drink.
Don't use that cup" the
mother said: its full of germs.
Didn't you see that fat gentleman
drinking out of a pocket cup' Go
up there and ask him to let you
use it. Ask him nicely now"
Then four children wanted a
drink. The fat man looked aston
ished and uncertain, but gave up
his cup. One of the thoughtful
young ones carried a cup of water
to its mama. and she in turn pass
ed the collapsible cup to a tired
old lady sitting behind her.
Thank you SIR" said the child
politely.
"Ump!" raid the fat man putt
ing the cup back in it's case. He
looked up. A suave and polished
gentleman stood beside his seat.
MY FRIEND" he said, LEND me

earth that is unsanitary it's a
public drinking cup. | usually

ed over the cup, and the suave
gentleman drank long and deep.
He came back with the cup filled
with water. AS he passed the fat
gentleman he said:
Pm taking a drink to my wife.
She's back there in the car"
The fat nan turned ponderOusly
in his seat and saw the suave
gentleman hand the cup to his
wife.
Then he saw the wife hand it
back to him, and the suave gentle
man return for more water.
This time the wife handed the cup
to a woman who was sitting in the
seat with her. The woman drank
and passed the cup to her little
boy, and the little boy galloped up
for water.
Take it back to the nice fat
gentleman" said the boys mother;
it belongs to him."
