TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA
A. D. WATTS,
Collector,

Thousands of people keep on suf-
fering with Neuralgia because they
do not know what to do for it. Neu-
ralgla is pain in the nerves. What
you want to do is to soothe the
nerve itself. Apply. Sloan's Lini-
ment to the surface over the pain
part-do not rub it in. Sloan's
Liniment penetrates very Quickly
to the sore, irritated nerve and al
lays the inflammation. Get a bottle
of Sloan's Liniment for 25 scents AZ
any druggist and have it in the
house-against Colds, Sore and
Swollen Joints, Lumbago, Sciatica
and like ailments. Your money
back it not satisfied, but it does
give almost instant relief.

THE DUTY OF THE
PARENT TO THE SCHOOL

The following paper was prepared
by Mrs. S. w. Enloe and read at a
meeting of the Dillsboro Improv-
ment Club.
What we need in the public
schools is q little more knowledge
and moral stamina on the part of
parents. To teach Il child and to
fit him for right living is the high
est prerogative Of the parents and
we must not use the school as q
makeshift, nor should We expect
the child to learn there the things
he should be taught at home.
The school was intended to sup
plement the home; not to supp,ant
it. There is a parental duty and
there is teachers part in the
training of our young and woe to
our children if we confuse the two
and try to shift what is properly
the parents part upon the shoulders
Of strang rs.
There is a lot Of truth in the
homely old saying you never know
what you can do, till you try" To
many Of us it has seemed that bur-
dens were imposed On body and
soul to the limit of Endurance. Then
a great trial was superimDosed, and
as by a miracle, the grace and
strength sufficient for the day Of
need were provided.
Have you ever been a teacher
and have you gone into a strange
community to take position in
the school? Of course you arrive a
few days before your work is to be-
gin. You are the observed of all
observers, you are the new teacher.
How you have longed to make a
good impression and how you have
prayed to do rightly, the duties YOU
have taken upon yourself. And
deep down in your heart, you feel
the need of encouragement and the
need of friends. No one but teach
er can know what it means.
He begins school and takes charge
of your boys and your girls. The
days pass and not a mother or
father comes to the school building
to meet the teacher. Some of US
think, We'll, he must be alright or
the committee never would have
employed him. and we leave our
children all day long and seven or
eight months of the year in charge
of a man or woman we do not
know.
Suppose you owned a valuable
race horse. Wouldn't you see that
he is provided with comfortable

"HOGS N CASH"

A thrifty young South Dakota farm.
er, after marketing 100 heads Of his
seven months old hogs, the average
weight being better than 200 pounds,
was heard to say:
81 was really ashamed to take the
money for those hogs. The $1,400 was
practically given to me. 1t was worth
the cost of feeding to see them grow.
Practically all those hogs had to eat
was raised on 20 acres. They had 10
acres of alfalfa pasture and they hog
ged down another 10 acres Of corn.
The sows, too, were carried through
the winter on alfalfa hay raised on the
same ground. 1t is a lot easier and
safer to make money this way. / have
been growing wheat for several years
on 800 acres and but few years did my
check amount to $1,400 after expenses
were paid. I am going to put in some
winter rye this year for an early spring
and late fall pasture. This will give
alfalfa a rest. Then ground rye in a
slop makes a good fattening feed for
my hogs"
One of the largest and most success
full land and livestock operators OF
Missouri, il not Of the world, Peter
Rankin, when asked how he did it,
said: BUY land, raise corn, feed
hogs; buy more land, raise more hogs"
Surely, alfalfa and rye will aid King
Corn" in doing this and the cost will
be greatly reduced.
Alfalfa and corn grow better in the
soil rather than in the sack. Plant
some alfalfa seed.-De Smet News.

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

1t is admitted by all that the state
laws are not plain on building and up
keep of county roads, in that the
counties are limited to amount they
can build a piece of road for, and in
many instances it is a question who is
to fix up a place in a road, and as it
works out neither the county commits
sioners or other township boards do
fix up the small bad places, and often
times the county builds a good stretch
of road and it goes TO pieces Or small
impossible holes appear in the road
spoils the highway for travel, says
a Mitchell dispatch. The commits
sioners have called a meeting of all
township boards to meet with them
and together they lay out the trunk
lines, which are to be built by the
county and then township boards
know where to lay out and build their
lateral or township roads leading into
the trunk lines. Also to agree On just
what each township is to keep up
drag, etc.-and what portion Is to be
cared for by the county. 1t is provid-
ed that the money in the vehicle fund
is to be spent on the keeping up Of the
roads, and this county has now on
hand some $1,000 in this fund. Davi,
son county, a small county of only IL
townships will have in a short time
the very best roads in the state. She
now has some Is miles of built coun.
ty roads. The scenic highway across
the county will be built to grade and
the greater per cent of same ~graveled
this year and will be some highway
when completed. Contract already let
for this work.
We believe every county in the
state should take steps to get to-
gether and understand the plans for
future roads especially the trunk lines,
and if all counties do this it will assist
all counties of the state to connect up
their trunk lines and in a short time
South Dakota will have a complete
system of good roads.

guests extended their congratulations

started on their wedding journey to
various points of interest after which
they will return and take up their resi-
dence at Webster, where Mr.. Sloan has
a position as county agent Of Day

Mr.. Sloan is a son of Mr.. and Mrs

known to the people of Bookings. Mr.
Sloan is a graduate Of State College

The result was somewhat of a sur
prise, as it was thought that the vote
would be close. No that the senti.
ment was so much in favor of moving,
but 1t al thought that everyone
favoring the change would surely get
out and vote while those opposed
were probably not so interested and
would stay away from the polls. Those
who wanted the change probably all
did vote, but 1t appears that they
were sadly in the minority. A little
over one-half Of the total vote of the
city was cast on the proposition.
The question which seemed to weigh
most with the voters was that the
mayor and council favored leaving the
plant or its present location and the
majority evidently thought that the
judgment Of the city fathers was good.
The council lost no time in prepar-
ing to rebuild the plant on its present
site, as on the evening of election they
opened bids for the new building. The
contract was awarded to the Void
Construction company of Brookings, at
$11,47S, this being the lowest bid.
The main building will be 60x80,
with enlarged coal house. The north
and west walls OF the present building
will be used in the new building and
the extension will be made to the
east and south. The old walls to be
u.sed, which face on the streets, will
be veseered with a better grade of
brick, which will greatly improve the
appearance Of the building. The pres
ent smoke stack will be torn down and
a new and higher one constructed
south and east. New boilers and
other new equipment will be installed.
II is hoped to have the new plant in
shape to do business by cold weather.

ONLY ONE IN COUNTRY

Carl D. Thompson, the socialist who
debated at the chautauqua Friday
afternoon. called at the Register office
Saturday morning to get some figures
on our municipal plants, taking them
from Mayor Mathews article which
the Register published a few months
ago. Mr.. Thompson informed us that
there were plenty Of cities which own
ed their own electric light plants and
other utilities, but SO far as he had
been able to ascertain Brookings was
the only city that owned its own tele.
phone system. He was glad to know
that it was paying a good revenue,
while at the same time 1t vas paying
higher wages to its employees than
any other telephone plant in the state.
He said that he had heard of Brook
ings and its municipal plants for years
and was very glad Of the opportunity
to visit Us. Mr.. Thompson will write
up our plants for . popular magazine.

that brought the week to a most sue

best musical organizations that has
ever appeared here, which is saying
something, and it seemed as though
the audience could not get enough of
the good music. An added feature was
three or four delightful vocal numbers
by Miss Ethel Wakefield of Lake Ben

Brookings audiences a number of
times. Miss Cecile Welch was accom-
