present at this meeting who could re-
call to mind the splendid reception
given them in 1885 by the good people
OF Watertown, and it has been ever the
same. This feature together with the
boosting qualities of her citizens is
putting WATERFOWL on the map as one
of the leading cities of South Dakota.
One hundred thousand dollars is being
expended this year in street improve

Watertown is surely enjoying it's

VACATION TIM e

The value OF vacations or periods Of
rest, recreation and change is more
widely recognized each year. The city
worker has been the first to appreciate
the value of his annual vacation and is
almost irresistibly impelled to leave
the city during the summer. Generally
he seeks the quietest, most secluded
place to be found and when he returns
TO his labors he feels refreshed and in
v~igorated, with a brighter outlook on
life and ready for greater achievement.
The rural resident, having been slow
to adopt the policy OF his urban cousin,
has not profited to the extent that he
should by visiting other localities,
viewing new scenes and making new
acquaintance and in this way acquir-
ing newer and broader views of life
and OF the world.
OF all men, he who lives the isolated
life of the farm most needs an annual
vacation. The humdrum existence, and
lack of stimulating excitement of farm
life might well be varied by a visit of
a few weeks to the noisy, busting city.
The need of scientific knowledge as
applied to agriculture may be met by
short term courses in agricultural col
leges, by attendance at farmers insti-
tutes and visits to experiment stations.
Most of all, however, the annual va
cation should afford change of scene,
variety OF employment and should
broaden the horizon.
Let us take a day or a week off now
and then to get acquainted with the
rest OF the world. All work and no
play makes Jack not only a dull boy
but a dull man, too. Any one or all
of us will profit by visiting other COM
munities and other scenes, relaxing
from the continual and monotonous
grind Of our work and thus opening
our minds to receive new ideas and inn
pressions. Now Is vacation time. OF
course it's busy time, too, but let's
change of with one another and take
turn about in getting a week at the
lake, in the city or at the river, fish.
ing, bathing and boating. Don't say
you can't afford 1t; you in fact can't
afford not to go.
