ALL FOR ECONOMY OF TIME
Thousands Of Inventions Designed to
Assure Increased Speed on
the Railroads.

Time is the very essence OF life
and the saving OF time is the very es-
sence Of A~mericanism. The patent
office, with its million patents, is the
great irrefutable evidence Of that
the great monument to the inventive
genius of men who have bent their
mental energies to the creation of de
vices that meant economy of time and
made American life the great. thrill
ing whirl it is today.
1t would have been a long leap OF
the Imagination from the beginning OF
American invention down to the pres
ent, and it will be a long leap from
the present to the end of the chapter
the future Of more wonderful won
ders than we have today.
We who take interest In the prog.
ress OF railroading have perhaps mar.
rowed our vision. Invention has given
no greater impulse to progress than In
our field. But to all men in all in
dustries the perspective must readjust
itself to their viewpoint, and their in
dustry strides foremost. Ever, though,
to the great railroad army the fascina.
ton of remarkable development lies
along the paths of steel that unite the
limits Of the land.

Public Opinion In Law Suit.

Watertown.- The Public Opinion
Publishing company has brought suit
against the board Of county commits
sioners for C%odington county, praying
that the board be forced TO rescind
it's action in naming the official papers
for C%odingtOn county for the present
year. Public Opinion states that
when the board met to name the Of
fetal papers, it presented a statement
showing it vas the only daily paper
in the county, had a large circulation,
and was better prepared to give good
service than any other paper. 1t al.
SO submitted a bid, offering to do the
work for 35 per cent of the legal
rates. The board, it claims. delayed
the matter for a time, and her took
a secret ballot, at which only one
commissioner voted for Public Opin.
ion. The paper contends the com.
mlssioners acted outside of their
rights when they turned down a bid
of, 35 per cen of the legal rates to
give the contract to other papers at
full legal rates.

Effective Danger SIGNAL.

Danger signals at grade crossings
being installed by one of the eastern
railroads are expected to prove to BE-
very effective. AS soon as a train
comes within a mile of the crossing
the signal shows a red light and a
gong that can be heard 500 yards
away begins to ring. Both warnings
continue to act until the train has
passed, when the gong eases and the
red light changes to white. Should
the wires become deranged, or should
anything happen to the mechanism,
the signal on the disk flashes to danger
and remains there until repairs are
made.

AUTO FUND TO REACH $4,000.
Money to Be Expended In Improving
Public Highways.

Centerville.-It is expected that BY
March l the automobile fund Of Tur-
ner county will reach about $4,000,
and this sum will be expended during
the coming summer in improving the
public highways OF the county. Under
a new state law the money is derived
from automobile licenses. Out OF
each So automobile license fee paid
during 1914, the sum of 1925 will re-
main in the county treasury, only IS
cents of each license fee going to the
state. On January l of this year the
automobile fund of the county had
reached 5 1.667.75. and on February l
this had increased to $3,3S3.S7, SO 1t
is safe to estimate that the fund will

building will be under control OF the
board OF county commissioners. In
order to eXpend the money TO the
satisfaction Of the automobile owners
of the entire county a meeting has
been called BY the county commits
sioners of automobile owners, to be
held at Parker February 10. A SINH
lar meeting has just been held at Vi

Sioux Falls.-Action favoring the
establishment of government owned
grain warehouses;, inspection by the
federal government Of grain entering
into interstate commerce and urging
that there be a federal investigation
Of terminal grain markets, was taken
at a meeting OF The executive com
mittee Of the Farmers Cooperative
Association of South Dakota, at q
meeting held in Sioux Falls. The
meeting of the executive committee
vas held for the purpose of consider
ing measures for benefit of the farm
ers Of the state.
Resolutions adopted at the meeting
declare that storage at grain centers
under private ownership and control,
as at present, Is unsatisfactory and
subject to the evils OF speculation and
manipulation, which, it is alleged, has
proven detrimental to the grain AIDE
from a public service standpoint, and
IS not conducive to lowering the high
cost OF living.
1t is further urged that the federal
government, through proper lesisla-
ton by congress, provide properly
equipped elevators at the principal
grain centers for public storing and
%elevating of grain at a minimum cost,
under the ownership and control OF
the federal government, according tc
such rules and regulations as may
he nrpScrihpd nv congress.
A supplementary resolution de-
clared in favor Of federal inspection
and urges that a law be enacted BY
congress providing for federal inspec
ton, standardization Of grades anc
weighing Of grain entering into inter
state commerce.
1t was decided by the executive
committee to send n petition to the
secretary of agriculture asking for az
official investigation by officials o.
the department Of all terminal mar
kets. 1t is charged that under the
present system competition Is stiheo
and tina consigned grain IS used as {
foundation for speculative gambling
in futures, and that in general tht
entire grain trade is a private man'p
ulation OF values in the interests o
the big combines.
