ton Of our Government and which have
been preserved and transmitted unto
our generation with lustre bright and
undimmed, should not perish, l, r. s.
Vessey, Governor of the State of South
Dakota, do hereby set apart and ap-
point
THURSDAY, the TWENTY EIGHTH
DAY OF NOVEMBER,
in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and twelve, as a day of
thanksgiving and prayer throughout the
State, and earnestly recommend the OBJ
servance of that day in accordance with
the spirit and intention of the Pilgrim
Fathers who in piety set the excellent
example of public acknowledgement of
the gracious mercies and tender care of
God.
We in South Dakota find that we have
abundant cause for rejoicing and many
and increasing reasons for thankfulness,
for each and every year of our state life
continues and augments that advance
which within the past two decades has
carried US from a position of new and
untried beginnings to one of aftluence
and power. The powers and hardships
that inevitably are the portion of those
concerned with the settlement of new
territory are in these later years of plen-
ty and prosperity forgotten and today
men of all sorts and conditions are find
ing among us a life of comfort and free
dom from want
AS we have advanced materially so
also have we gone forward morally and
Intellectually, until today it is a matter
of general recognition that in no COM
munity is there to be found happier
hospitality, wider tolerance or sweet
er sympathy than that which exists
among the people of our own beloved
Commonwealth.
And so, let US give thanks to the Al.
mighty and as we gather about the
hearthstone or in our customary places
of public worship let us on behalf oi
South Dakota send high our expressions
of gratitude, not for the past so treasured,
nor for the future which bids so fair
nor for what once was-although We
love the history of our statehood; not
for what is to be-however joyfully we
anticipate our future greatness but fol
just what is-a grand and glorious pres.
ent.
In Witness Whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be affixed
the Great Seal of the State of South Da
kota, this fourteenth day of November
A. d. 1912.

81, 500 FOR GOOD ROADS
Above Amount to be Expended fol
Improving Roads in Harvey
National Forest.

During the week the Forest Service
has had crew Of men at work improv-
ing the road which runs from Custer to
Bakeryille. The current Agricultural
Appropriation Bill provided that ten per
cent of the gross receipts on all National
Forests should be expended by the For
est Service in improving the roads
throughout the Forest. The Harnsy
National Forest has been allotted ap-
proximately $500 for this purpose. Il
is purposed to spend approximately
So, 900 of this amount on the main high
way through the Forest which extends
from Sheridan to the south boundary Of
the Forest, near Wind Cave. This work
will be started after definite plans have
been made for the improvement of this
road by competent engineer. 1t 10
planned to spend about 1886 for improv
ing the road which extends from Key
stone to Rapid City. 500 was appro-
priated for the improvement of two hills
on the road from Custer to Bakerville.
This is the project on which the Forest
Service has been working the present
week, the hill on the south side of Mr..
Bowle's ranch being the first selected
for improvement. The work on this
hill was completed on November 18th,
and it is agreed by all that good piece
of road construction work has been ac-
complished.
Since the money allotted for this pro-
ject was not enough to do the full
amount of work the Forest officers de-
cided to undertake, and it was we'll
known fact that all of the business men
of Custer are much interested in the inn
provement Of our roads, and are willing
at all times to assist their Improvement,
the Forest officers requested the various
business men to cooperate in this work.
Very liberal cooperation has been Sc
cured. In fact the business men have
contributed as much, or more, than the
Forest Service had available for the
work. A complete list Of those who
have contributed will be published in
an early issue. Next week work will
be started in improving the Walsh hill.

fracture of both arms. ore of theH;
being broken in two places. Mrs.
Person was driving alone in a single
rig and was on her way home from

brush and suddenly jumped outat the
side of the rode. The ANIMAL became
unmanageable and ran away with the
result that the occupant of the rig
was thrown out. She was picked up
and taken to Paynesville where her
injuries were attended to at the hos
pital. Mrs. Peterson is over 60 years
Of age and had been in poor health all
winter. She was just recovering
from long seige Of illness when the

I serious setback to her. Her many
friends are glad to learn however

that late reports as to her condition
are very encouraging. - Atwater

what the Legislature Should DO.

The governor is right as far as he
goes, but he does not go far enough.
The law most needed and most wanted
by the general public, aside from a state
wide primary law, is a distance tariff
law. Without such law no manufac-
turing industry of consequence will be
possible outside of a few favored loca-
tions. And the only thing left for the
people in the rural districts to do will
be raising wheat and potatoes and cat
tie and vegetables, to supply the wants
Of those at commercial and industrial
centers and at prices regulated by the
parties in control at the other end.
Another law needed is an increased
railway taxation. If the last legisla-
ture had done it's duty such a law would
have been passed at the last session. The
people Of Minnesota have q three cent
passenger rate, while the people in the
states surrounding it travel on a two
cent rate.
Then there is the tonnage tax prop
osition. Why should the steel trust be
permitted to get off with a nominal tax?
The initiative, referendum and pos
sibly also the recall are sure to come
up for serious consideration.
And lastly the legislature should rat
ify the pending amendment to the fed
eral constitution, providing for an in
come tax.-St. Peter Free Press.
Bro Miller is right. The legislators
are the public servants drawing salary.
Why should they not be required to dill
igently do their duty until the serious
unfinished business of the state be at
| tended to. Now on the eve of an cleo
| ton, the solons cannot afford to tribe
with the interests of the people.

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache or
urinary irregularity. Nature may be
warning you of approaching dropsy. or

is seldom fatal if treated in time. but
neglect paves the way for serious kid
ney trouules. Don't neglect a lame or
dizzy spells, irregular or discolored ur-
ine headaches, WEAKNESS or depression.
Begin treating the kidneys with the re-
liable, time-tried remedy, Doan's Kid
ney Pills. For IS years, Doans have
been curing sick kidneys and curing per-
manently. Endorsed by Willmar peo-

Nurse.

The Willmar Anti tuberculosis So
ciety held special meeting last Fri
day afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Lii

"Outside of the issuance Of the off,
cial proclamation, calling for a spec
ial session Of the legislature by Gov
ernor Eberhart to enact direct pri-
mary law, the only development in
the gubernatorial situation yester-
day was the outburst Of Lewis C..
Spooner in the lobby of the West ho-
tel, while talking to Odin Halden Of
Duluth and State Treasurer Walter
J. Smith.
"Mr. Spooner is said to have been
in a rage and cast discretion to the
winds in the matter Of applying the
soft pedal to his voice and in the
brandishing of his fists.
"The fragments Of his converse
ton that foated about the hotel lob
by indicated he was indignant over
the receipt of a letter from c. A.
Congdon, the Duluth multi million
aire, urging him to withdraw from
the gubernatorial race, supposedly in
favor Of S. Y. Gordon. Mr.. Cong
don is understood to have advanced
the opinion that unless this was done
the denomination of Governor Eber-
hart would be certain.

ernatorial situation are expected tc
come rapidly within the next few

made an endeavor to get into the build

Novel 1rsthod Of Heating.

The new Darwin creamery which is
nearing completion and which will be
put into service the first of the month
If not before, will be heated in a novel
manner The floor of the creamery is Of
cement and steam pipes have been laid
in it. Thru these pipes the exhaust of
the creamery will be conducted and thus
the creamery heated. in this indirect
manner There are but few creameries
in the state equipped in this way but
the heating in these has proven very
successful. Besides dispensing with
radiators, the system has the advantage
Of warming the floors and of drying
them very rapidly after the washing
every running day, and thus is an aid to
the health of the butter-maker and his
assistants. 1t may be stated here that
the creamery with its white brick makes
an imposing showing.-Aitchfield Sat.
