IDEAS ON FLOOD PREVENTION

f. p. Thorne, editor of the Forest
City Press, located at Forest City,
Potter county, on the Missouri river,
believes the waste of crops and des-
truction of property due to Missouri
river floods could be abated provided
the five factors he names Will work
together to that end. These five fac
tors are the farmer, the organized civil
township, the county, the state, and
the federal government.
He contends the farmer, who is the
most directly affected by floods which
send the rich Missouri river bottom
land down stream, should act first by
building drains and ponds or reser'
yoirs in which the surplus waters can

THE CROW'S=NEST


1t is almost literally true that there
are no flies on South Dakota so far
this year House flies are as late in
coming to bother the housewife as
corn is behind in promising a good
crop. Whether it is due to the swat
the-fiy movement or the prevalence OF
cool weather this season is a question
for the scientists 10 determine. We
are thankful for the novelty.
A paragrapher was a day or two
ahead of the writer in making a point
about the timeliness of the summer
fur fad. In last weeks note book is a
comment on the fashion, giving credit
to the person starting it as planning
wiser than he knew. The other fellow
got his joke in first. The sailor collar
had a short career but it may have its
second inning this month.
80 was " icAS we NhAN
other towns in requiring auto drivers
to keep on the right side of the street
in driving or parking their cars. We
are now ready for another innovation.
Almost every other city of this size
and even smaller one require auto
drivers to head in their cars quarter
wise when stopping at the curb line.
This prevents putting inside cars into
a pocket as so often happens when
out streets are lined with such vehicles
on special occasions or on Saturday
evenings. Frequently cars are two
or three deep on the sides Of
Main street, parallel with the curb
stones and it is a wonder that more ac-
cidents do not occur when those on
the inside try to get out of the pockets
thus formed. If a dozen or more
drivers would start the practice of
heading their cars in at an angle of
forty-ive degrees others would follow
suit and it would not require an ordi-
nance to make the desired change.
Let those who park their cars for hours
on the west side of Main street on hot
afternoons start the innovation.
The aviator who made a flight yer
the city a year ago remarked about the
beauty of our t%ree-lined streets as
viewed from a height of several hun
dred feet and especially the number of
houses that We're painted white. If he
should make the flight again he might
notice an increase in the number of
white houses this year. White seems
to be the prevailing color for eXteriors
all over the city and the effect is very
pleasing.

Rewards Of Merit
For Good Teachers

A plan for giving public recogni-
ton to those teachers of the state
who have proved themselves to be
progressive as well as successful in
their work, has been announced by
Superintendent of Public Instruction
]. A. Churchill. To all teachers who
meet the five requirements adopted
by the state superintendent there
will be given professional teachers
certificates which will certify that
the holders have not only taught
successfully during the preceding
year, but that they are progressive
and have shown proper professional
spirit toward their work.
The certificate will be issued by
the superintendent of public instruc-
tion upon the statement of the coun-
ty superintendent that all of the re-
quirements have been met and that
the teacher deserves especial recog
milton OF his attainments.

EAT A SQUARE MEAL and
NOT FEAR INDIGESTION

There are hundreds of people in
Ashland who were not the least bit
surprised when they read in the It'd
ings that McNair Bros. are selling
Mi-o-na on a guarantee to refund the
money in case it did not relieve. This
remarkable dyspepsia remedy Will re-
lieye the worst case of indigestion,
headache, dizziness, or the general
played-out condition that afflicts
every one suffering with stomach
trouble. Mi-o-na does not simply re-
lieve, it aims to cure.
McNair Bros. can tell you Of many
we'll known people in this city who
this remedy has restored to health,
often after they have tried many
other methods of treatment with lit
tie or no benefit. No other dyspep-
sia remedy has made so large a per-
centage of cures as Mi-o-na. 1t is
so large that McNair Bros. stand
ready to refund the price to any Gus
toner whom 1t does not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer, and
there are hundreds in Ashland today
praising Mi-o-na because 1t does what
il is advertised to do. A few months
ago they could eat nothing without
wondering what the result would be.
Since using Mi-o-na they eat what
they want and when they want with
no fear of suffering.

Kelly Outlines
New Liquor Law

The following statement regarding
the conditions, penalties and pro-
visions of the liquor law which will
go into effect January l, has been
sent out by County Prosecuting At
torney Kelley.
Mr.. Kelly states that no clemency
will be shown convicted offenders:
Registered pharmacists may sell
ethyl (grain) alcohol for medicinal,
pharmaceutical, mechanical and
scientific purposes and for external
use and application, in the amount
of not to exceed two quarts in per-
iod of four successive weeks, to any
one person, upon the filing of an at
fidavit by the purchaser showing the
use for which the alcohol is intended,
and the sworn statement of the ap-
plicant that he is not addicted to
the use of intoxicating liquor or any
narcotic drug. Every pharmacist en-
gaging in the sale of alcohol as above
stated must file with the county
clerk a bond in the penal sum of
$3.50 that he will not violate the pro-
visions Of this act.
Ethyl alcohol may be obtained for
medicine only upon physicians pre-
scription, and druggists cannot carry
in stock anything but ethyl alcohol.
A doctor may administer other in
toxicants to his patients, when neces-
sary but must give it himself from his
private stock, and he is not allowed
to have more than any other in
dividual. The physician or pharma-
cist who is convicted of second vio-
lation Of the provisions of this act,
in addition to heavy fine and Jail
sentence, loses his state license to
do business in the state.
Any person or family may receive
not more than two quarts Of spirtu-
GUS or vinous liquors nor more than
"a quarts of malt liquor within a
period of four successive weeks by
making an affidavit setting forth the
name of the common carrier, the
point of delivery, the amount and
kind of liquor to be received, the
total amount of liquors of all kinds
received by him during the four
week last past; that he is over 21
years of age, and not habitual
drunkard. This affidavit shall be
sworn to before any agent Of the
carrier who is authorized by the law
to administer the oath. These affi-
davits in blank form are furnished
by the county clerk to the agent of
the carrier. Any person who makes
false affidavit is subject to prose-
cution for perjury, the penalty for
which is two to fifteen years in the
state penitentiary. 1t is violation
of the law for any agent of COM
mon carrier to knowingly deliver
more than the above limit within
four weeks, and any person receiving
