Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Kerdolff OF
Kansas City spent Sunday with
relatives here.
Send your lace curtains to us
this spring and avoid the work
and bother of doing them at
home, besides securing better
results.
We wash them very carefully,
starch them just enough to
make them hang and drape right,
They will be perfectly square
with the corners even and the
scallops perfect. Our charge IS
small and the service prompt.

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.

AT one time a coal strike would
have been little needed in some of
Britain's rural districts. Doctor
Jessopp says that in his Norfolk par
ish, 70 years ago, "every field had
its nudge hedgerow, with the 'dod-
dies or pollards, which offered firing
for rich and poor. This underwood,
with the turf in the bog lands,
which the women used to cut and
store, and not infrequently pilfered
and fought about, constituted abso-
lutely the only fuel" One of his old
p~arishioners told him that she "nev-
er saw coal till after l was married,
and l never burnt any till my second
husband babe me bring some from
Dereham. We used to bring it tied
up in a bundle and carry it on our
heads"

Elk State Convention.
Sioux Falls, lime 1920.

To get the most out Of a trip this
sum mer, 90 to Sioux Falls when the
Elks of the state are herded together.
There will be aeroplane flights, motor
car races, ball games, parades, bands
and any amount of fun. Come wheth-
er you are an Elk or not.
The big Elks parade during the
state meeting in Sioux Falls June
10Th and Goth will not be the quietest
function ever pulled of in the state
by any means. Aeroplanes and motor
car races will be on the prog ram also.
Whether an Elk or not, everybody is
welcome and will be given good
time.
1.-THE Roost" Is the name given to
a section of the city which will be
strictly under Elk control for two
days In June and that Is June the
10Th and Goth. The Sioux Falls Elks
never sleep when they have visitors
to entertain. They expect few on
June 10Th and Goth and that is the
reason that they have established the
Roost which will be located on the
Seney Island near the Milwaukee
depot. There will be no beds or cots
at the ranch. Each Elk who gets in.
side is expected to sleep standing up.

Some Game.

Monday afternoon was the time
the fair grounds was the place Of a
game of ball that was a battle royal.
The Lutheran college of Sioux Falls
played the Augustana college of Can
ton game of ball and won by score
of to 0. 1t was anybody's game up to
the last putout if both teams had
taken the pitchers out, but some how
the article of ball that the two pitch
ers threw is very seldom equaled in
the big games Juel for Augustana
struck out 10 men and didn't give a
pass, while Overgaard for the Luther
an college struck out 18 men and
walked three, not hit was made off
either man.
The game was lost by Augustana's
right fielder who blowed line drive
straight in his hands but the game
out side of the one error was air-tight
as far as scoring went

Roosevelt On Taft.

"No other man was as much inter

was" declares Colonel Roosevelt in
the Worcester speech. mo other
man with my princip les and convic-
tions has supported him SO long and
so bitterly regretted being unable to
support him longer l do not
think Mr.. Taft means i'll; I think he
means well. But he means we'll feebly
and during his administration he has
under the influence of men who are
neither well meaning nor feeble. 1t Ii

fits such a man for use in high office

Ewert And The Treasury

For over twenty years South Da-
kota received no interest moneys on
it's state funds, the thousands of dol
lars paid by the banks for having the
states money on deposit going into
the pockets of the state treasurers
who were paid goodly salaries for
looking after the affairs of the office.
But three years ago this was chang
ed, and now the interest moneys go
to the state to help swell the states
funds and lessen the taxpayers bur
dens And Adolph W. Ewert Of
Pierre, republican candidate for state
treasurer, is the man who is respon-
sibe for the change. Already the
state is the gamer by approximately
$50. 900 and the state will continue to
receive every in the future between
SIS. 900 and $4,000 all through the
ope ration of the Ewert law
Another candidate for the state
treasury is making big Ampaign
splurge. and asking for votes be-
cause, as deputy treasurer, he saved
the state this large sum. But does
the credit belong to this other candi
date? Should an employe be reward
ed for doing his simple duty and re-
framing from robbing his employer?
The present state treasurer and his
deputy are merely doing their duty,
are abiding by bhe law which compells
them to pay to the state all interest
moneys on state funds, are operating
under law introduced by and passed
through the efforts of Adolph w.
Ewert, former state senator from
Hughes county.
Ewert is the man who is RESPONSE
ble for this great saving TO the state.
and Ewert is the man who should be
elected to the position Of treasurer OF
the state of South Dakota. Aber-
deem American.

Gamble Not Wanted.

Harrisburg Journal:-Sohe of the
South Dakota newspapers are pre-
senting as reason why Gamble
should be returned To Washington,
the argument that he has been there
SO long that he can handle the affairs
Of S. d. in much quicker and more
satisfactory manner than q new man.
Ii this be so, it is only good evidence
that the various measures Of the peo-
pie before congress are in the hands
of unprincipled men, with whom an
understanding must be had and a
trade made, before any measure can
be passed. Otherwise s.,ny honest
man could bring his measures before
congress with equal show of success
whether he had been there week or
four years. When Robert M. LaFol-
lette entered congress the last time,
many of the older members left the
ROOM when he started to talk busi-
ness before coming to an understand
ing with them, as had been, the GUS
tom for time immemorial, but be it
remembered very few of those who
ignored the little giant from the
Badger state. are left in congress to-
day. What the country needs and
needs badly in congress is few more
men of the LaFollette, Sterling
stripe and a whole lot less of the
Stephenson, Lorimer, Gam BILE stripe,
and then any honest citizen however
humble, will receive recognition and
hearing for his constituents on the
true merits of the case.

What Thorson Did.

Sioux City Tribune: The Pierre
Dakotan calls it Misrepresentation
for The Tribune to credit Tom Thor.
son with getting the South Dakota
late primary recognized by the nation
al committee, saying that it was
Senator Penrose who made the motion
to recognize the delegates chosen at
the June primary.
The Tribune spoke advisedly. 1t
was Thorson who put this matter up
TO the committee and insisted on the
action that was taken. He was more
readily successful than he would have
been if the Standpat national commit
tee could have figured any advantage
to Taft in forcing South Dakota to
hold another primary. There was a
proposal to rush the matter and to
ignore the states primary law and Sc
lect by caucuses as of yore, but Mr..
ThorsOn made it plain that none of
these things could be safely forced on
to the state.
Mr. Thorson did we'll. He had an
opinion and stood .sturdiiy for it and
he saved the state of South Dakota
large expense bill and much of tur-
moil. He ought to be rewarded fnr it
by q reelection to his place There
is candidate in opposition to him. a
Taft candidate.
If the people OF South Oak ota want
fn To f. s,~
committee to fight Theodore Roose-
welt, Robert Marion La Toilette. AL
bert Baird Cummins and every other
progressive republican, they will vote
against Thorson and for Halliday,

The Men Who Walk The Tracks.

A special train was humming along
through the night over the wind
swept beachside tracks of The South.
ern Pacific Company's coast line be.
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles
Trudgfng ahead of the train, between
the rails and carefully inspecting
every foot of the roadped by the light
of his lantern, went an humble en-
ploye of the company named Abe
Jenkins. 1t was Abe's business to see
that the track was in proper shape
for the passage of trains. AS he walk
ed out upon a bridge he saw the dark
figure of a man bob up from between
the ties in the middle of the structure
and run quickly toward the opposite
side. Abe ran after the man, seized
him and would have captured him
but that another man appeared and
beat him off. While these two were
vanishing ia the darkness be walk
ed back to the middle of the bridge
and there he found on a cross-piece
under the ties box with rope pro-
truding from it. He opened the box
and in found thirty-nine sticks OF
dynamite. The rope was a ten-foot
fuse.
And now down the line and out up
on the bridge shone the big electric
headlight Of the special. Abe stepped
aside with the box in his hands, the
train thundered out upon the bridge
and whisked by him while he lifted
his cap. And the reason why he lifted
his cap was because he knew that in
d car Of that train, little dreaming OF
the plots of anarchists, or of any d an
ger whatsoever, was the President OF
the United States.
1t is not every trackwalker who has
had the honor of saving the life Of a
him so great service, but trudging
up and down their lonely beats, many
patrolmen of the rails have saved
thousands and thousands of lives OF
lesser persons. You in your overhead
ed Pullman berth, on stormy winter
night rarely, If ever, give thought
to the man walking the roadbed
ahead of your train, facing the biz
| zard while his bright lantern CLEANS
| along the double row of rails, looking
for loose platebolts, for high joints
for broken culverts, for track obstsuc
tions or whatever else might prove o1
danger,in your swift flight through
the darkness But ahead of you there
safeguarding your way, the track
walker tramps his cold, dismal beat
with wrench and oil can and lantern
with alert eye and ready hand to re
pair. If it is in his power, whatever
damage has been wrought by the
elements or by the heavily grinding
wheels, and, If he cannot repair it tt
set signals for the. engineer and tt
summon the roadmaster and his gang
At all seasons and at all hour:
these careful inspectors are on tht
job and the number Of disasters thel
avert in the course of long term o
years is incalcula ble.-From Watch

Most Marvellous Of Terminals.

Ine mOSC WOnuef1ul thlDg ABOUT
the new Grand Central terminal sta
tion in New York City is that it is
built in the identical spot occupied
by the old without interfering with
or even mountaineering traffic. 1t is
no unusual thing for railroad en-
gineers to replace bridge of other
structure without interfering with
traffic; but such feat has never be-
fore been performed on so vast a scale.
In the last nine years the engineers
have removed two hundred old build
ings and twenty-five miles of pipes
and sewers from the area added to the
enlarged terminal built an entire
new sewer system to take care of the
drainage from the terminal area re-
placed the busiest railroad tunnel in
the world with a new one, took down
an old station and replaced 1t with a
larger one, sunk the tracks to an av-
erage depth Of fifty feet below the
surface, largely through rock, and re-
placed it with steel and concrete, all
without injuring passenger or seri-
ously delaying train.
Another remarkable thing this
greatest of passenger terminals will
cost nothing; or perhaps it would be
more intelligible to say that while
the entire improvement will cost
S15O,OOO, 900, the railroad will get it all
back without touching its transporta
tion revenues. So vast an improve
ment in so valuable an area was quite
beyond the means even of two such
big corporations as the New York
Central and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford, which will also
use the terminal. So the two COM
panies out Brandeised the Boston eff
cheney prophet himself by burying
the entire terminal deep in the solid
rock, roofing the excavation with
steel and concrete and building a
town over it. One very large COM
mercial building twenty stories high
is already completed and rented. Two
enormous office buildings, to be
twenty stories high ultimately, are
finished up to the seventh story and
occupied as offices by the two railroad
companies. On one corner adjoining
the station will be a twenty story
hotel that will. rival any other in the
city in the luxury of itsappointmenCs
and the altitude of its charges. At
the opposite corner on the Forty
second street frontage will be another
hotel of equal size but with rate
schedule so much modified that it will
not be necessary for the prospective
guest to mortgage his farm to rent a
room for night. An opera house and
new home for the National Academy
of Design are proposed for the town
that is to rise over the terminal. Al
together seventeen city blocks for
merely taken up with unsightly noisy,
dirty railroad yards or cheap private
structures will be added to the avail
able building area in the choicest part
Of the metropolis, not to mention a
fine broad avenue and a number of
cross streets where such things did
not exist before. Charles Frederick
