MAKING A HOME IN SOUTH pA.

BY CHARLES N. MccAFFREE,

Admiration is expressed for the Oft
quoted sentiment. He who makes two
blades of grass grow where but
grew before is a public benefactor.'
That is business, and it Is good, but
we may go further and add that it is q
public ~benefaction to ease the burden
from manly shoulders, to smooth the
path of tired motherhood, to paint
roses on the cheeks Of childhood. Al.
! falfa, the silo and the dairy COW will
bring the two blades to supplant the
one, and that permits the larger out
look on the life given us to live.
The home is the anchor for Ameri-
can life and the strongest influence
toward right living, true to a greater
degree in the country than In the city.

AUTO TAX ENOUGH
FUND SUFFICIENT TO CARRY ON
A GREAT AMOUNT OF
GOOD WORK.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Brookings.-The automobile tax III
each county is sufficient to carry on
a great amount Of good ROADS work,
II properly used, according to H. e.
Solberg, professor of mechanical en-
Gineering in the state college. by
using the tax fund to purchase efficient
Dad equipment" he asserts, our
county commissioners are in a posi-
ton to do wonders for the good roads
movement"
Professor Solberg outlined his plan
rs follows:
The most economical and efficient
a prairie country would result if the
county commissioners purchase COM
plete road grading equipment, consist
ing of a substantial traction engine,
elevated road grader, a common heavy
duty grader, two or three small grad
ers for filling ruts, a few scrapers and
Il heavy pillow. The complete equip
ment would cost approximately $4,000.
The commissioners should also en-
ploy a competent set OF men to Oper-
ate the machinery for the entire sea
son. 1t would not pay to purchase
machinery and use it but three or four
weeks, and then allow it to lie idle
for the rest Of the year. 1t should
be used from early spring until late
in the fall.
by this system from 60 to 100
miles of substantial dirt grade car be
constructed during the season. If this
method is followed for three to five
years, every road that is used to any
extent a be improved in every cCun-
ty at least in the eastern part of the
state, and it will cost but very little
money. In order that the commission
ers would be sure to keeping the men
at work all summer, they might retain
perhaps 10 per cent Of the monthly
wages as a guarantee Of continuous
service. This 10 per cent would be
paid in full at the close Of the season
There is always a tendency that road
workers will quit or strike for higher
wages about harvest time
Professor Solberg states that he has
prepared a set OF blue prints and spe
cifications for Dad construction which
he will send upon request free Of
charge to any board OF commissioners
in South Dakota.

COUNTY, SEAT PRIMARY ACT.
Opinion Of State Supreme Court Elm

Pierre.-The supreme court IN an
opinion by whiting, eliminates the
county seat primary elimination act,
which was passed by the legls lature
Of 1911, as chapter H., laws If that

of 94,377 for the law, and 27,179

Brown, ct al, officers of Gregory

primary, to reduce the contestants for
county seat to two at the general cleo
ton in November, the court denying
the writ of m%andamus asked for, to
compel the county officers to place
the names of Burke and Herrick upon

that the primary election elimination
act is in violation of section 2, article
TX. of the state constitution which pro
vides for settlement of county seat
contests at a general" election, usins
the following language: Every place
has the constitutional right to have ita
candidacy submitted at a general cleo.
ton and every elector of said county
has the constitutional right to cast his
vote at a general election for any town

No statute can, through any primary

Has Been Misconstrued.

Pierre.-The recent decision OF the
supreme court in the Gregory county
seat case has been misconstrued. The
point involved was not the constitu-
~tionality of the county seat elimina-
ton act. but whether in a county or
gained since the adoption Of the con-
s%titution the question Of the location
of the county seat can be submitted
oftener than once in four years. The
question in Gregory county having
been submitted in 1912, the court
holds it cannot again be submitted
until 1916.
incidentally Judge Whiting suggest.
ed that the referendum law of 1911
could not stand and this has been the
subject of much discussion among law
yers, many of whom are strongly OF
the opinion that an act approved by
the people at a referendum election
is constitutional per Sc. Other law.
yers point out a marked distinction
between an act originating in the leg.
islature and aftcrward approved by
the people and one initiated by the
people and later approved by them,
and many of the best lawyers in the
state contend that such initiated and
referred acts cannot be %abrogatod by
the courts for unconstitutiOnalitv. nor
can they be amended by the legis-
lature.

ALREADY PLAN
TO GET TROPHY
American Lawn Tennis Ex-
perts Expect to Retrieve
Davis Cup in 1915-New
Team Will Be Organized
Against Antipodeans.

NEW YORK, August 51-American
lawn tennis PLAYERS and officials are
already planning for the recapture of
the Davis cup, won by the Austal-
asian team at Forest Hills, l.. l.,
through the efforts of Norman E.
Brookes and Anthony F. Wilding.
With Maurice Z. Mclaughlin as
nucleus a new team will be organ
lied ard challenge issued in 1915,
provided the European war clouds
have dispersed and the international
situation warrants such action.
With Brookes and Wilding unlikely
to defend the trophy again and
score of young American players
rapidly rising to the heights already
attained by Mclaughlin the pros
poets of regaining the cup in the
next try is considered bright. Nc
Loughlin's victories in the recent
tournament stamps him as the great
est singles player in the world. Be
cause of his youth he is conceded
to have at least a five years cham
pionship tenure. What is needed to
give the United States a really repre-
sentative team is another player of
almost equal singles ability and a
strong well balanced doubles team.
In addition to Mclaughlin and r.
Norris Williams End; William NJ
Johnston, John r. Strachan, r.
Lindley Murray, Clarence Griffin, G..
C. Gamer and Ella Fottrell. form a
squad of young players who are ra-
pidly mounting to the highest ranks
and these players together with sew
eral others of more mature expert

ton formidable doubles pair might
be formed, although pairs already ac-
customed to the necessary team
work, like Dean Mathey and George
N. Church, who surprised the Davis
cup gallery by defeating Doust and
Dunlop, the Australasian reservists,
are available and need but a little
polish to make them Of cup calibre.
Unless the other tennis playing
nations of the world keep pace in the
development of young players it is
doubtful therefore if the next con-
test for this cup will witness the
close and thrilling play that develop
ed in the 1914 struggle. An analysis
of the Davis cup records for the
tournament shows that the represen-
tatives of the seven nations which
participated played six rounds con-
sisting of thirty matches; ninety-fiv

CHIEF BENDER
BY A. NJ. CORRIGAN
Red McGhee says:

Good Indians are always dead
our great great gran pop always
said. But gram pops dead-dead
wrong. If he could see Chief Bender
work he'd substitute the low down
Turk for Indian in his song. Per-
haps it was that Bender name that
dragged the redskin into fame fo.'
big league pitchin' stunts. For he
can bend 'em in and out If you've
got any sneakin doubt just look him
over once.
He's helped the sturdy tribe O.
Mack to leave their rivals holdin'
sack for half a dozen years. His oil.
right arm don't slow up none. Fire
water Chief has learned to shun-
he's off the cup that cheers When
less wise guys are shootin' craps
you'll find the Of chief shootin'
traps-it helps his pitchin' eye. De-
spite traditions of mis- race good
horse sense regulates his pace-this
level-nCodled guy.
Some pitchers rattle just like dice
but Bender's just as cool as ice
when runners choke the sacks He
keeps his head an' plays it tight an
usually comes out all right before
the derrick acts. He don't strike
cut SO many men. he's hit quite
freely now and then. but still he
sticks around and wins his games
when he is due. or Mack'll grieve
when Chief goes to the Happy Hunt

ORE PUDDLERS
FOR TWO GAMES
Smelter Tossers to
Come on Conquest Bent
for Labor Day Series =
Have Great Team-Nutt
Joins Phoenix Outfit. r.

The Orepuddlers will be here for
two games Sunday and Monday; or
to put it into plain English, the
crack team from the Hayden Smelter
will arrive in Phoenix on mischief
bent, with the sole and only inten-
ton of anneXing the scalps of Tog-
neri'S toSserS on the local ball lot in
both palpitating contests. The Hay
den bunch have a reputation in the
class league hereabouts and will put
up some exhibition" when the UNI
pire makes the customary announce
ment to the grandstand.
This series is officially known as
the Labor Day series chiefly because
of the fact that for the two days
mentioned nobody is supposed to hit
a lick of work. All of this being the
case, and with the big Labor Day
celebration going on at the Phoenix
ocean, there will in all probability be
a record breaking crowd at the park
for both the games
Manager Togneri yesterday made
arrangements with Honorable John
Mutt, catcher extraordinary and bat
ter plenipotentiary of the Tempe team
last year so that the valuable SER
vices of that distinguished gentleman
will be on the side of the Phoenicians
during the two games. 1T looks
good to see Mutt back on the local
lot" said a fan Sunday when that
gentleman was committing some de-
vastating act or other against Phoe
nix 1t will look much better to see
Mutt in a Phoenix uniform doing
things to the valorous visitors.
Smokey joe. Smiley will be
moundsman in chief for one of the
contests while a great unknown will
officiate at the other session. Smiley
will have the strikeout whip in per-
feet oder by that time and a repeti-
ton of Saturdays shutout may be
expected. An outfielder of worth and
ability is also to be caught in the
net and made to garden the cabbage
patch in the center or sun garden.
| The team will be strengthened that
much and the two checks on the
credit side of the ledger are expect
| ed by Tuesday morning next.
