Good Roads
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author OF "At Good Old SlUash-"

= GOD roads are a fact in about four
states, and a subject OF discus
sion IN 46 others.
good road is a road which has only
two dimensiOns-length and breadth. A
bad road has three-length, breadth and
depth. When a bad road has thawed
out in the spring and has been rained
on "A hours a day for about three weeks
it is ,vigable for canal boats and small
stern wheel steamers.
In fact. all that n black dirt road needs
IN April TO make 1t a useful link IN our
great national waterway system Is locks.
In portions of illinois and Iowa the use
of stills and life preservers among rural
mail carriers in the s-ring IS alarmingly
prevalent.
A rood road is merely a roof over a
bad road. When an enterprising state
has decided to pull itself out of the
mud it roofs over its mud roads with
tar and gravel OF macadam, and the
farmers come to town in wet weather
lust as earelessly as if they were Moan
and didn't care how much it rained.
Good roads were invented about 1000
years ago by Caesar. Some of his
roads are still being used. In France
the roads are so good that the country
cannot be seen for the dust raised by
automobiles. and the humble peasant is
getting rich posing for tourists at one
franc per exposure.

Rare Advertising A Story Of the Moment
BY WALT MASON
The Famous Prose Poet

k6T WAS reading an interview with
Hall Game, the author. today
said the landlady, and I think
he has been treated shamefully. He
wrote a book with high moral pur-
pose. and it has been banned by public
libraries because some parts of the
story may possibly offend few
" 4 am indeed glad to hear you dis
cussing literature, my dear Mrs. Jig
gers" said the star boarder. as he
peeled a hard boiled egg. Your dis
course, am sorry to say, usually treats
of the excessive prices charged by the
butchers and bakers and WeinerWurst
makers, together with untimely hints
that bOarders do not pay enough to sup
port their landladies in luxury, as they
should. When 1 see you abandon COM
merce for literature as a topic at the
table, / am almost reconciled to your
theory that boarders should invariably
pay in advance
But 1 wouldn't advise you to lose
any sleep because of the mlSfOrtunes Of
Hall Game, Mrs Jiggers. Your great
warm heart is thrObbing with sympathy
for everyone who suffers, unless the
sufferer is behind with his board bill,
but it is idle to shed tears when the
tears are not deserved Most of the
authors in the United States and Eng
land are envying Mr.. Game at this mo-
ment. They are saying to themselves
hat they would give their halidoms if
they could only have their books barred
from the public libraries, and see the
fact discussed in print all over the
world.
This distinguished Mr.. Game is get
ing a volume and quality of advertis-
ing that money could not buy. When
he is in public he looks profoundly
grieved over the action of the public
libraries, and he speaks like a man with
a secret sorrow. Down his sad Shak
sperean face the tears of anguish flow;
but when he repairs to his boarding
house, and locks himself in his bedroom,
he turns handsprings and hugs himself

o NOT PATRIOTS

The coal dealers refused to bid or
the contract for furnishing coal for the
state institutions, because the law
regulating the matter, passed by the
last legislature, made 1t impossible foI
them to bid intelligently and make II
certain they would derive a profit from
the transaction. The state, therefore
must buy its coal on the open market
A Pierre dispatch says the bids for the
state printing contracts opened there
yesterday were considerably lower
than the bids of a month ago. Many OF
the successful bidders of a month ago
acknowledge they will lose money on
the work, and some of them forfeited
their deposits, made when they sent
in their bids, rather than carry out
the contract. 1t appears, from this dis
lance from the state capital, that the
coal men are either better business
men than the printers, or else the
printers ire more patriotic, and deem
it a privilege to do work for the state
al a loss.-Aberdeen Daily News.

car race was more in the nature of an
exhibition of fast driving between two
cars of the racing team. The Fal did
not participate. The time for the
event was 1914.
The manager of the racing team
stated that it was their intention to
come up in this territory later in the
year because it was impossible to get
paying crowds out at present. He did
not state that they would come back
to Brookings but it is probable that
after their reception in Sioux Falls,
Madison and here they will never come
in the near vicinity of these towns
again.
They were nice young men and were
good drivers but they were affected
with the circus idea of advertising and
advertised so many good things with
out stating any price that the people
we're prone to be suspicious.

the controlling south produces very
little. Cattle, sheep, swine and meats

cause he believed that it is an industry
which will shortly affect South Da-

RRooKINGs COUNTY EXHIBIT

There has been some discussion
among local business men about the
ACCESSIBILITY of sending a county e
hibit to the state fair. With two VI
cessive victories to the credit of Brook
ings county, 1t is only natural that the
boosters are DESTROYS Of making a
third effort toward seeing what a be
done toward making 1t three straight.
We believe the better sentiment of the
local boosters, and the sentiment which
will prevail, Is that we send no exhibit
this year. During the two years Brook
ings county won first honors there was
always a keen competition and there
are always some who take a defeat
badly; they seem to be of a jealous
disposition and want to win at any
cost. And it Is this feeling among the
people, a feeling which is only too
often expressed by visitors from other
counties at the fair, that has ~unreason-
ably placed the cause of Bookings
success to the fact that the State Col
lege happens to be located here. Peo-
pie seem to lose sight of the fact that
our county can win these contests
upon the sole merit Of its grains and
other products. Affidavits that the col
lege has had nothing TO do with the ex-
hibit seem to be of no avail, and always
that criticism is heard, They had
ought TO Win, the Agricultural College
is there" This, by the way, is a fine
tribute to our college, but 1t would
seem to be a better part of valor to
rest at oars this year and give the
other counties a free sway. II Brook
ings county competition is unfair COM
petition. then why not rest for one
year at least and instead Of advertis-
ing by means of a county exhibit let
Brookings be advertised as the home
OF the South Dakota State College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. A
place where South Dakota is sending
the best of her youth to seek an edu.
cation.
The advertising value of the county
exhibit Is admitted. Our successive
victories have done us all good but If
our entry into these contests Is going
to harm the college and cause un-
pleasant jealousies Though they be
un~warranted) it Is better that we stay
out of them. The youth of South Da-
kota are coming into this county in
large numbers each year. They are
young men and women who under
stand farm conditions. They will see
our merits first hand and as they
spread throughout the state after a
visit here they will advertise the coun-
ty as well rs could be wished. Let us
devote our efforts, for this year at
least, to bringing more students to the
college.
The cooperation required for a good
exhibit has unquestioned value. It
would be good for us. but II 1t 10 ad-
visable to remain out OF the state fair
contest we can make up for this loss
by boosting and cooperating to the
fullest extent OF our ability for the
county fair. Here we will see what
the farmers in the immediate vicinity
are doing. II We can have the greatest
county fair in South Dakota, surely
our county must be the greatest coun-
ty in the state. Let everybody boost!
