A Pulling Story
The Texan pulled the dentists bell,
The dentist pulled him in,
The Texan pulled his Jaws apart,
And bade the Doc begin.
The dentist pulled his forceps from
His case to pull tho tooth,
And then he pulled the wrong one out;
He was a careless youth.
The Texan pulled himself upon
His feet and pulled gun;
An officer then pulled them both,
His name was Sergeant Dunn.
Dunn pulled tip from each and DER
The judges eyes pulled wool;
They both pulled out without fine,
For Dunn possessed a pull

The Happy Farmer


The shades OF night were falling fast
When up the fence row blithely passed.
Through creosote and Paris green,
These grim trespassers on the scene;
One army worm
One chinch bug,
One Hessan fly,
One cut worm.
Advancing each before its kind.
They gave the wiggls-wag behinG,
And answering with buzz and whzz,
Their trusty troops invaded viz:
One wheatheld.
One field OF oats.
One cornheld.
One potato patch.
The farmer slumbered in his bed
While pleasant fancies roamed his head.
And dreamed OF getting after bit
few farm luxuries. to wit;
One automobile.
One lighting plant
One tractor,
One silo.
But where the setting sun had shone
OF opulence remained a bone,
Clean-picked frost denudes the trees
And what the farmer had were these:
One sale,
Ono trip 10 a new farming country,
One trip back again.
One start all over.

Compensation

If II is true. our business philosophers tell
US. that those who do more than they
get paid for never get paid for more than they
do" then 1t Is quite clear that II you want to
get paid for more than you do. you must do
more than you get paid for. Even a philoso-
pher ought to see how impossible that is, but
of course, the true philosopher cannot be
pected to hesitate over a nero impossbility.-

PERMANENT VALUE

The State Highway Commission
is sending out s'Article No. Five"
to the press of the state and 9th
ers who are interested, from
which we make the following ex-
tract:
'sGood Roads are an asset to any
community. Roads built perma
nent at the start are a lasting
asset. Hence it is good business
to appropriate time and money for
their construction. We should
view road building entirely faom
business standpoint to the end that
a system of wagon roads will radi
ate from the villages and cities
into the rural districts, and also
connecting the rural districts with
each other.
The value OF permanent Elgh-
ways is determined by the fact
that they can be used 365 days in
the year. A country home situated
on we'll constructed graveld high
way, leading to a market, enjoys
advantages in measure equal to a
small railroad running by the
house with station in the front
yard.
A campaign of education tow
ards securing better roads still
seems needfuI. for it is the great
est and most effective means Of
developing both sentiment and
progress, which so together.
Forest City press. (Forest City, Potter County, D.T. [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1914-08-26

Where sentiment exists. the way
is opening. Next comes coopera-
tion of the citizens of the county.
Last bat very necessary is the
raising of the funds with which
to build the roads. Many and var
ions methds have been suggested.
but the law contemplates but one,
aud that is by the taxation of all
property.
This method is fair to all, as
everybody uses roads and those
who don't are dependent on those
who do. AS we have no state aid
(as many states bave), each county
thru its county commissioners is
the highest political body or pow
er we in South Dakota have to
look to for substantial road fund.
1t the county commissioners make
no levy for road fund, road build
ing cannot be of much consequence
in that county.
We lead few in reckoning with
other states and are lead by many.
\ great procession is passing us
while we sleep in apathy. New
York, Pennsylvania, California,
Oregon. Washington and Mime
sofa for instance pay from two
million to fifteen milliou dollars
each year for highway constrrc-
tion. We are doing better each
year, but could do much more.
The levy by counties for read fund
since the new law came in opera
tion totals as follow:
In 1911, Lawrence only, less
than. .S q. 600
In 1912 with % counties ref
erending the road law,
less than ..... S 1OO. 600
In 1918. So counties, S 56l, ,622.
The remaining seven counties
in 1913 made no levy at all, name
ly Codington, Grant, Hamlin,
Lincoln, Moody, Sphinx, Turner.
The time for the next levy by
the board of county commissioners
is Tuesday, Sept. 1, 1914. 1t is
hoped by the State Highway Com
mission that all the counties i'm the
state will make liberal appropria-
tions for next year.

BEAUTY
 EVANGELIST
Mr. Geo. A. Bellamy of the National Fairgrounds As sociation Speaks of Sub feet to Which He Is Civ ing His Life.

"The people have more sense now; ! they know there is something more to live for than to make money. They have come to realize that their sur roundings should be beautiful, and that provision should be made for the entertainment of themselves and lu- ture generations; that men and wo- men as well as boys and girls should play and should have places to play. {! It is this new realization that makes my work easy
 So said MT. Geo A. Bellamy of Cleveland. Ohio, the expert of the National Fairgrounds Association yes terday in an interview. MT Bellamy accompanied by Mrs. Bellamy arrived in the city yesterday morning and will remain until today, meeting the various clubs, the public school boards 1 and the directors of the Board of Trade.
 1 Tt is better said MT. Belamy for d boy to play than to loaf; it is better for d girl to play than to loaf. 1 There are six hundred men across the , river from Sacramento menacing two 1 counties. It is safe to say that they never engaged in healthful play. When other boys were playing they were 1 loafing and they are lOafing yet The delay of American cities in recognizing the necessity for play grounds and for symmetrical improve ment and development. said MT Belamy has been costly and it be- comes more costly the longer it is continued. In Cleveland we are com pelled to open certain street for distance of block. A few years ago
 We could have done this at an expense
 of $20,O00 1t will cost half million now. Western cities are ahead of us
 in this respect They are more pro- i gressive, while in the east We have moss backism and prejudice to over come. I'm sometimes tempted to move west. But some mistakes have been made in the west. In Long Beach. Cal. for instance the citizens let the ocean front pass into private hands. Not foot of it is owned by the city. Citizens enjoy it only by the suffer
 ance of private owners
 T like this work. 1t IS pleasant. because l am not asking for any
 money. I'm only asking the people to spend their money for themselves; to
 make an investment in their own
 town that will be most profitable to
 them. l am asking them to go about
 this work systematically The first
 thing is to make d survey for several purposes: first to discover what faci-
 lities the children have for playing
 how many there are of them; how trey spend their time. The survey
 should disclose the best locations for
 play grounds. where they are not likely to suffer from encroachmcnts
 n the course of the growth of the
 town"
 NIr Bellamy spoke in an interesting vein on the subject of city planning
 which he said should not be under
 taken piecemeal; that is. all improve
 ments should be made with reference tp future Improvements and all i'm
 proVements undertaken at one tins i should he in relative to one another
