VERY LOYAL TO OWN STATE
Makes a Pleasing Address AT
Annual Reunion of the South
Dakota Society Held in
Los Angeles One Day
Last Week

THE almighty left this corner of the
earth until the very last when he was
building the universe, and when he got
around to it all he had left was sand
and climate, so he just threw those
together and called it California" said
Col. Lee Slower, of WATERFOWL, S. D.,
in the course of an address at the
annual picnic and reunion of the South
Dakota society in Les Angeles. Some
sof the colonel's hearers were radical
zampions of California, and they are
debating with themselves whether to
resent his caustic illusions or laugh at
them.
ssThey blast out wheelbarrowful of
sun baked abode, mix it with phosphate
and potash, pour water on it, then
brag of their soil, their irrigation sys-
TENS and their ability to produce great
crops. If a Californian, with a sprink-
ling can on one arm and a basket of
fertilizer on the other approaching a
man from South Dakota to talk about

were all you had out here in the begin
ming, and climate and sand are all you
have here now.
For heavens sake stop trying to
tell US about soil and crops, You can
afford to let us talk to you about those
subjects. And our climate is what
produces that greatest of all crops
healthy, earnest, active, loyal men and
women-and they are not produced at
their best in any other climate on
earth. Why, you Californians had to
wait until a snappy lot of fellows from

Mrs. Atlas Knapp Home Again

Early in January Mrs. Atlas Knapp
Mrs. A. T. Cooper and children, and
Miss Fosse left for California to spend
the winter in the vicinity of Los
Angeles. Mrs. Knapp returned home
Sunday night. She reports the
remainder of the party very well and
the little daughter, for whose health
the trip was made, as very niue
improved. They have had a most
enjoyable winter. The weather at
times was exceptionally warm, there
has been a very great shortage of rain
and the fruit-excopt in the irrigated
portions lis very much dried out. The
flowers of the coast country are very
beautiful and it would be a splendid
place to spend your winters if it was
not that you had to be away from
home.

ANIMALS EYES ARE MIRRORS
Reflected Light Is What Causes Them
to Glow in Dark, Not Occult
Agencies.

IL Is well known that the eyes of ami
mails glow like Goals in the dark. The
reason for this is commonly believed
to be because there is phosphorescent
matter in the eyeballs. There are
many, too, who attribute it to some
weird occult agencies.
But it is all perfectly natural. The
hight does not come directly from the
eyes of the animals, but Indirectly.
Fhat is, it is a reflected light. Let an
animal come out of the forest and ap-
proach a camp fire. His eyes glow like.
Two balls of fire. This is because his
eyes are mirrors and reflect the light
while the rest of him is in darkness,
making the spectacle all the more won
derful.
II o go in a dark room with a
light the animal will look directly at.
the light. Then his eyes will reflect
that light.
me case is somewhat similar to the
way the moon borrows light. The
moon itself is an Opaque body without.
any inherent luminosity, and conse-
quently 1t has no power of emitting,
light of it's own. But when the shafts
OF light from the sun fall p o the sur
race OF the moon they are reflected,
PACK, and it is the suns light that
pflghtens up the surface of our celes-
ttal nightly attendant and makes it Wis
ible to US.

can't: IN. H., of German descent, grad
uated from grammar school. Parents
neat, respectable, and thrifty. Ger
mans. Girl wanted to go to work.
Parents would not allow this, as they
did not need her wages and thought
she should stay at home and help about
the mousse. Girl became unmanage-
able, and stayed out several nights.
W~hereupon her parents brought her
INTO court as incorrigible. The proba-
ton officer urged that the girl be al
lowed to go to work. The parents
agreed, the girl was placed on proba-
ton, and found work for herself in a
department store. From that time she
gave no trouble"

MIGHT HAVE PUT LAST FIRST
Old Lady Wound UP With Excellent
Reason for Not Liking the
Dominie's Sermon.

Walter D. Moody, meanaging direc-
tor of the Chicago plan commission,
told the following story at a recent
luncheon of the Chicago real estate
board:
A Scotch clergyman who had made
a particularly brilliant attempt Gas
he thought) in the preparation of a
certain sermon, felt highly elated on
the Sunday on which it was delivered.
Walking home from church after
the service he encountered an old
lady who was one of his stanchest
Pensioners. Slipping his arm through
hers he asked:
"Aunty, how did you like my SER
mon today?" Expecting, of course, to
receive a fine word of approval from
the devout old lady, who was a great
admirer of the minister, he was cha
grined when she replied: Good do
mimic, l did not like it.
You did not like it, aunty! Well,
what was the ~reason?"
There are three reasons"
Three reasons. / declare! l pray
what was the first one?'
Il do not like m that are
read"
That was not d~isconcerting, so the
minister pressed the old lady for the
second reason.
Well" she said, Il did not like the
way you read it,
Come now, aunty,'' continued the
minister, that is not so bad. What
was the final reason?"
Well, | dinna like to tell You, good
dominic, but thought it wasn't
worth reading

WIRELESS AIDS DAN CUPID
Most Modern OF Methods Seized Oh

of Love.

Cupid has sped his dart by devious
ways. The address OF a guileless
| country maid, written On the shell Of
a new-Iaid egg has been known to
bring her a husband. The girl in h
factory has often scribbled her name
and address on the material which
she helped to make and it has more
than once fallen into the hands of a
mechanic many miles away and we'd
ding bells have rung. The telephone
has cemented romances galore and

So far as is known, however, for
the first time wireless biography has
been responsible Tor uniting two low
ing hearts that never would have met
had il not been for the mysterious
ether waves carrying messages of
love and endearment.
The young man who has added
wireless to the aids to Cupid is
Arthur Barr of Elizabeth, N. j. For
more than a year he has been expert
menting with &c. @, DIS" and other
signals with fellow amateur wireless
operators. Their experiments stopped
some time ago. Strange messages
from the direction of Staten Island
was the cause. When Arthur de-
ciphered these he suspected there

Bars suspicious proved correct. In
Mariners Harbor Elsie Shelton,
eighteen years old, had been tamper-
ing with the wireless apparatus which
her brother had rugged, By watching
him she had learned to send messages

up Bars "Marconigrams'' and trans
lated them into the language of love.
The messages continued. The couple
met and Barr soon expects to make

Editor The Advertiser:
Please allow me space in next issue
of your valuable paper to make some
inquiry, as to our supervisor, and de-
scribe conditions of this upper sec
tion Of Laurens county. When did
our supervisor die, and where will he
be buried? Some Of the people in this
community might want to go to his
funeral. We have been trying, for the
last II or Is months to get him up
here to make some changes on one of
the worst located roads, and one that
carries more heavy traffic, than any
other road in this whole upper section
OF the county. We have a bridge down
that's needed badly, on this road, and
lumber has been on grounds for a
new one, two months or longer; this
lumber is damaging badly and some
OF 1T is being thrown across the stream
for people who might be walking, to
cross on, and during the freshet some
weeks ago lot of this lumber floated
quite distance from the bridge site.
1t seems to us that progressive man
is needed badly in this office, II ever
county office needed one. If we
mistake not. this county is entitled to
two road commissioners. VIII some
one be so kind as to inform this sec
tion OF the county whether these Of
fees are filled or not? Frequently we
hear the supervisors office has one
of the best qualified men the county
affords. We do not question his abil-
ity or competency, but desire some OF
the benefits of better highways while
this generation lives. Travelling
around over this section of the county,
we hear great many people express
Ing desire for an opportun ty to show
their appreciation for what's being
done on our roads and bridges. Tho
above is true picture OF the sltua-
tion as we see 1t, but hope to be able
to look on an entirely different one
in the near future.
