Crop Prospects Are
Exceptionally Good

Farmers generally from all over
Codington county say that prospects
at the present time We're never better.
Wheat is growing nicely and the
shoots are standing straight and fine
as can be. The cool weather and
generous showers have caused the
roots to become long and strong and
are running deep into the earth. From
wheat to cabbage and grass every
crop prospect is most encouraging
and the farmers say there is now
enough moisture in the soil to carry
growing things through the summer,
while more moisture will not be at
all damaging.

A Good Description
Of Roquefort Cheese

The following description of the
method OF making and characteristics
of Roquefort cheese is taken from
Heart Throbs" and would be better
put back.
Roquefort cheese is made in France
from the milk of certain breed Of
sheep, which are fed on wild thyme,
and the cheese has q wild time to
keep from stinking itself to death in
its infancy. The wild thyme grows
on the banks of the Lot, Tarn and
other rivers Of Ayeyron, France, ana
after it has first been besheeped and
then becheesed Il generates lot OF
the tarndest smells that ever peram-
bulated down the pike.
Thyme is a kind OF an aromatic
plant with a pungent odor, and after
it is converted into Roquefort cheese
it is the pungentest thing known to
man After this cheese Is made 1t is

Every lover of good roads, regard
less of political afTiliation, sex or

Byrne for the splendid attitude he has
taken on the Good Roads question, in
proclaiming June II as Good Roads
Day throughout the state, as already

ton follows closely on the heels of

this organization and will extend the
rock road across the county this year.
Cloud and Republic counties, Kansas,
have each spent between $4,000 and
100000 the last year.
The two worst pieces of road on the
Meridian Road at present is the one
between Watertown and Sisseton and
the Missouri river crossing south of
Yankton. These two pieces of bad
road make it almost impossible for
Watertown to get the traffic she
should from the north or from the
south of the Missouri river.
We are assured that the Coteau
Hills will be put in passable condition
Immediately but we are discouraged
on the Missouri river crossing,
think that more than one thous-
and miles of the Meridian Road be-
tween Morris, Canada, and Enid, Okla
homa, will compare fayorably with
the Codington county, South Dakota,
section.
A great many tourists would be
coming your way now but for the
two barriers, one north and one south
of you.
The early maps did not publish the
Meridian Road but through our efforts
the Meridian Road has been placed
on the map and am sure will be
given its proper place hereafter. The
Meridian Road is the only north and
south highWay across the United
States that is logged and in passable
condition for travel from end to end
In a few days you will receive de-
tailed map of the Meridian Road from
Winnipeg to the Red River and an

Lincoln S Eloquent
Gettysburg Speech

Fifty years ago another president Of
the United States made an address on
the battlefield of Gettysburg. Presi-
dent Lincoln during the storm and
stress Of war journeyed from Wash
ington TO take part in the dedication
of a portion of the scene of the bloody
conflict, and on Nov. 10, 1863, he de-
livered a short address that will live
as long as the English tongue is spoken.
Here is the famous Lincoln Gettysburg
address in full:
FOurscOre and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this CONT
nent a new nation, conceived in lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war testing whether that nation or
any nation so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure. We are met
on a great battlefield Of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion Of
that field as n final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do
this.
But in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate. we cannot consecrate. we
cannot hallow, this ground. The brave
men, living and dead. who struggled
here have consecrated il far above our
poor power TO add or detract The
| world will little note nor long remem-
Der what we say here. but it can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for
US the living, rather, to be dedicated
