ATTENTION! CUSTER
Let's Parade Our Attractions. Onward
Ever Onward is the March
OF Progress"

A hyphenated booster is better than
none at all for he makes a noise. Don't
know what a hyphenated booster is ?
He resembles mule in that be boosts
with his feet instead of his brains and
travels backwards most of the time
In these days of preparedness and un-
preparedness in all lines we are i'm
pressed with the fact that progressiveism
which began as political issue is now a
deep rooted national idea permeating all
trades, professions and occupations of
our millions of people. Newspapers,
magazines, organizations, individuals,
all crying for something better, even the
best, for their city, county, state and
nation. Why should we be but indif-
ferently active? Our gold, silver, cop
per and other metals, our virgin forests
and unoccupied ranges, our mountains
and streams with their fish and game,
almost as unknown as if they had been
located on the river of doubt. Every
mineral, stone, tree, flower or animal
has within it untold wealth or countless
hours of pleasure for thousands and
thousands of people Let us tell them
about these things.
The editor of the Saturday Evening
Post in speaking Of women in politics
remarks:
There is very little sporting interest
in local politics. Yelling ones head off
in a convention does not get anywhere
with it. What it requires is an enor-
mons amount of patient unremitting
drudgery forever agitating and organ
izing, pegging away at this salient and
that sector day in and day out, coming
up smiling after every defeat"
Boosting is nothing but practical bust
ness politics. The drudgery, agitating,
organizing and pegging away are just as
essential as in party politics. The de-
feats come just as often and the smile
should be ever present
That the opportunities for health,
pleasure and wealth are here we all
know and our Secretaries Club, an or
ganization of the proper kind, should
endeavor to form some stable plan for
more widespread, conscientious and
year-round advertising campaign.
Denver, Colorado, has nothing on US
as health and pleasure resort except
the start. Authorities, well acquainted
with both localities, tell us that both our
climate and scenery are far superior to
those Of Denver. The boosting methods
of the Denverites might be studied to
advantage for they are humdingers in
that line.
Above all things, in this boosting
game, we should remember that jealousy
has no part in it. If the other fellow
should make the first nickel or the other
town get the first project, just smile and
keep on boosting Your nickel might
be a dime. No man, woman or child
should write, think, speak or even dream
without giving a boost to his native
heath. Come on, let's eliminate the

AUTO POLO AT HILL CITY.
Labor Day Celebration, Under Auspices
of Hill City Commercial Club,
September 4th, 1915.

Labor Day Celebration, Under Auspices
of Hill City Commercial Club,
September 4th, 1910.
Auto Polo, the newest thing in sport
dom, the fastest game in the world, will
be brought to Hill City for their big La
Dor Day celebration at a large expense.
Hill City believes in doing things right
and have made a ten strike in being
able to secure the Auto Polo.
Auto Polo is, without a doubt, the
most expensive sport in the world and
as to its sensational qualities it must be
seen to be appreciated as it is almost
impossible to describe. The game has
had several attachments tied to it to get
name that would fit the exhibition.
Fast as Lightning" Motor Insanity"
''Too Fast for the Movies" and others,
but it seems as if no name can be APP
piled that will cover the recklessness of
the Driver, the bucking of the Gasoline
Ponies" as they are called, the twisting,
| the lodging, the general smashuLs that
occur every minute during the game, it
is one continuous thrill from start to
finish.
Now as to the game and how it is
played. A large ball about the size of a
basket ball is placed in the middle Of
the field. At each end of the field are
Goal posts. At signal from the referee
the cars plunge headon towards the ball,
the mallet man swings, swish, the cars
are ducking and diving, sometimes on
four wheels as often on two, the skele-
ton cars with their steel frames Kissing
and putting from their high tuned mo-
tors skip around the field like frisky
bronchos. Such skilful handling of
autos, such accuracy of the mallet man
in maneuvering to place the ball between
the goal posts while trying to keep his
equilibrium has never been seen in any
game to date.
The American team consists Of Smack
Andre, mallet man and Dick Groves,
driver. The Australian team consists OF
Stan Parks, mallet man and Chas. Fuson,
driver.
Hill City expects the biggest crowd in
its history with their big program oI
sports and Auto Polo. See bills

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

The Board Of Health in Yankton, S.
D., has forbidden children fifteen years
of age and under to come into that city
from Sioux Falls, Mitchell and Sioux
City, Iowa. This step was taken sim
liar to action of the several Boards Of
Health in Eastern cities where this dis
ease has been so prevalent Up to the
present time only three cases have been
reported in Sioux Falls, one Of which
has fully recovered.
Ii is TO be hoped that the Hills wit
not have any of these cases, but should
the disease break out it is likely there
would be little danger of it spreading
for the infection seems to be greater in
congested districts

STATE INCREASING IN
WEALTH AND "JIPNIES.

According to the report of the State
alton of South Dakota, as shown by the
final figures is 81 l,3O3 5000 The in
crease over the figures Of two years ago
years ago is $3l, ,895,9SS. OF these fig
ures, real estate and town lots carry the
greatest amount, their valuation running
to 500, ,O39, ,ll6, while personal property
is placed at $l94, 934, 1874 To these are
added the valuation placed upon cor
porate property of all classes, which is
fixed at Sl3S,526,7l9. This is divided
among the different classes Railways,
$3.50, 096, ia; telephones, $4, $50, 3O3; ex-
press companies, 81, 49S,0OO; telegraph
companies, 1896, ,977; private cars, Pull.
man and freight, $444, 725.
Automobiles returned for assessment
for 1916 in South Dakota show vaua-
ton of 50, ,952,576 This on a basis OF
81, 755 machines owned in the state
Since that time the number registered
has run to over $4,000, and the amount
invested in autos in the state has gone
beyond $lO,0OOOOO, even on basis OF
assessment figures.
Live stock assessment figures show an
increase in numbers owned on all class
es of stock except hogs, where 2S,529
fewer were returned for 1916 than for
1915, but even in this class of live stock
the valuation return is increased On
the 1916 assessment there are 6S2, 322
horses owned, with an assessed value Of
$48, ,1lG,753; l,47l,95l cattle, with valu-
ations at $685., 394. Sheep show 440
$50, valued at S2,276, ,55l hogs, 593, 500,
valued at $3.50, ,S76.
While horses, sheep and cattle show
an increase, the cattle showing is the
heaviest, with l69, 1870 head more for
1916 than for 1915 This is probably
covered to large extent in the many
shipments of stock to the western part
Of the state for the past year.
The bank stock assessments show an
increase Of SS75, AGA over year ago, with
a total assessment of $l3, 43O,835.

SECURE CONTRACT
FOR WAR HORSES.

5hCU hE CON TRACT
FOR WAR HORSES.
Three Pennington county men, Clay
Oliver, of Rapid City Clyde Mccain, Of
New Underwood, and Pete Lemiey, of
Creston, have secured from the French
government contract to supply horses
for war service. While no definite num-
Der of horses is given in the contract, it
is in all probability the largest one yet
made in this section, as it will run until
the close of the war, and during that
time all Of the acceptable horses which
they can supply will be taken by the
French
In company with the inspectors, MIR.
Mccain left Tuesday of last week for
Belle Fourche, and from there will go
to Camp Crook, where an inspection was
held the following day. Inspections are
also scheduled for this week at Custer
Murdo, Chamberlain, Valentine, Neb.,
and Gordon, Neb. and next week trip
will be made into Montana for the pur
pose of securing horses there. 1t will be
seen that the men securing the contract
have a very large territory from which
to draw, and it is expected that a good
many thousand horses will be shipped
to France under the contract before i
expires. Gate City Guide, 25th.

THE MODERN SCHOOL
Advanced Educational Ideas for the
Public School Increasing Very
Rapidly.

We all can be and are Justly proud Of
Custer's new school building but it is to
be regretted that the School District is
not financially able to modernize the
course of study. 1t is a well known fact
that Custer has had for years past the
best schools in the county There are
however, certain studies included in the
ultramodern public school course that
must be omitted.
The training of the child mind is the
most serious duty of the men and women
oftoday Twenty-Five years hence and
the present day child is our governor
and professional man, or mother and
nurse. Should they not be better train
ed than are we2
Twenty-Five years ago the Commercial
course was introduced into the High
School studies. Then followed manual
training, domestic science, sewing and
other domestic occupations. These stud
part Of the country where the children re-
ceive more or less of this sort Of educa-
ton at home. We have seen homes
however, where the children instructed
in these new courses had performed du-
ties at home, their means of doing which,
we're little comprehended by the parents
There are other courses more particular
~ adapted to our local school which we
hope in time to have become a part Of
the required study, Among them are
the agricultural and vocational courses
Within the past few years Congress
passed law appropriatng certain funds
too further agricultural training in all
the states Some Of the schools Of this
state are now teaching this course and
receiving a portion Of the government
funds
Another law is now about to pass
Congress, according to late reports,
which it is hoped will be the means Of
putting a vocational course ofinstruction
in every High School in the Union.
This new idea would seem to be the last
word in public high school training but
no doubt few years will see some i'm
provement on it.
The modern object Of education is
more than to prevent illiteracy 1t is to
feel out the tendencies of the growing
mind, anticipate its bent and to concen-
trate every power to make the mind do
| best that useful vocation it most desires
to do. There are certain things which
We can all DO better than others and il
is probable that little early training
would have made US excel our vainest
hopes,
Ones education should make him self
sustaining under all circumstances.
Higher education should not make it
impossible for man to dig a ditch or
| perform other manual labor but rather
should enable him to do these things
better Add to this the vocational train
ing and you make every boy and girl to

woman, trained specialists in those occu-

from the idea that because we, happy
and prosperous, grew to manhood half

should so grow. The best there is in us
or can be obtained by us is none too
good for tile child that calls us father or

FIND STINGY HUSBAND
BY NAVY'S WIRELESS
BattIeship Officer Forced to
Send Money to Wife Who
Filed Suit Against Him.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE use of the
Navy Department wireless to instruct
an officer on a battleship to support
kis wife is disclosed in papers submitted
to Supreme Court Justice Platzek by
Mrs Nellie @. Shippee on an application
TO compel Earl. W. Shippee, chief eleS-
trician on the battleship Wyoming. to
pay alimony pending a suit for separa-
tion. Shippe receives 500 "a month and
the court directed him to pay his wife
half OF this sum.
Mrs. Shippee produced the following
letter, which she said her husband had
sent her.
There is one thing you must under
stand. That is, will absolutely never
i've, with you again. No doubt II you
of trouble, but IL you care for me in
the way you Say you do you won't
This will be the real test. We are
totally different, nave different views Of
life and different interests. and certaln-
ly there can be no happiness for us in
living together, and the sooner we sep
arate the better"
Mra. Shippee said that this letter
caused a nervous breakdown and she
was treated by n physician. Her hus-
band faxed to send her any money for
n month, and when a dispossess notice
had been served OH her she notified the
Navy Department authorities that she
was ill and in want. wireless mes
sage was then sent from tho Brooklyn
navy yard to the wyoming stating that
Shippee had deserted his wife and that
she was iIl~and without funds.
Shipee sent postal money order to
his wife for $50 on March Is, stating
that the executive OFFICER OF the Wyo-
ming had notified him to remit enough
so she would not be in want. He told
her he didn't want to hear from her in
any way and that all he wanted from
her was her address written on a slip
of payer.
Mrs. Shlppee said her husband wrote
her in April that the Navy Department
had notified him that he must send his
wife $40 a month. and not less than $35
under any circumstances.
