WEST SIDE TOWN
SHOWS PROGRESS
After Rip Van Wrinkle Sleep of 81
Years, Editor Says His Town
Is Awake

Rec Heights Review-At last after
thirty-seven years more or less of
nothing but talk, things are doing"
The county road grading outfit has
been working a week on the roads in
Spring Hills. and coming this way.
They will work north ros Spring
Hills, thence past the Paine ranch,
thence north and east by a ZigZag
route into Rec Heights. entering
town via Dakota Avenue in front of
Jim Cages residence. From there
the big engine and grader will tear
up the street north to a point near
the Rhodes residence on the north
side of the track, when the road will
turn west to the section line. which
will be followed north a mile and
then east to the township line. when
the road will be continued north
1t is planned to have the Black and
Yellow Trail across Rec Heights
township graded up and put in shape
this fall while the county graders are
here on the spot. This will give
township more good roads than ever
before, and will give fire approaches
to Rec Heights from four different
directions.

having been purchased by Henry
Speaker. who will remove it, hole
and all and make a cellar of it on his
farm north of town. This will save
him the work of excavating.) Anew
cistern has already been dug, oppo-
site the opera house, where the old
mare and the old COW can quench
their thirst in the future. There
will be a clear street, no fences or
hitch!ng posts, and-we sincerely
hope-no weeds and no tin cans. The
street will then be grayelled as fast
as help can be secured to do the
hauling.
This is a good move. and we are
mighty glad that things are doing,
after such a long wait to get them
started. Oh yes. it's gong to cost
some money. but this township can
afford to provide roads and streets
for the people to ride and drive

Ice Cave Freak
In Black Hills

keystone, S. D.-A natural won
der of the Black Hills. in the form of
an ice cave is to be developed and
made al attraction for tourists who
are visiting the Hills each year in a
rapidly increasing number. The ice
cave is situated at Englewood and is
one of the few natural wonders Of
its kind in the world. As a unique
feature among the natural attrac-
ions of the Black Hills it ranks with
Wind Cave and with Crystal Cave,
and in some respects Is even more
wonderful than either of these.
The cav has developed peculiar
features, which make it a most mys
tifying proposition. Some ten or
eleven years ago what now is the ice
cave was run as a tunnel by the late
Harvey Shelter, and has been pushed
about ninety feet when work was
abandoned, as no satisfactory mineral
showing was encountered. The fact
that it had the power of producing
ice even during the hottest weather
was not discovered until later. In
the hottest months of the year ice
forms on the face of the tunnel,
sometimes to a depth of three feet,
and a remarkable feature is that
during cold weather the ice disap-
pears.

speakers and workers leave New
York today on a SPECIAL campaign
train that will carry them through
twenty-eight states before returning
to this city the night before election.
Votes for Hughes will be the
slogan of the campaigners. The
tour is to be financed and managed

An Appeal.

The vice interests of the whole
country are pouring their money in
to this state for the purpose of
defeating woman suffrage. The
women of our state, and all fair
minded men, should rise in their
might and smite this monster taach.
inc that dares, in its wiley way. to
use every avenue possible to attempt
to prejudice the voters against
granting to the women of South
Dakota the right of the ballot.
If the voters Of this state are to
be irfeunced in their decision, why
not take the opinions of the great
men of our nation? They are open
ly endorsing the movement. Presi-
dent Wilson believes in it; Judge
Hughes, Who is Republican candid
ate for the Presidency. is a strong
advocate of it. All political parties
both state and national, have a
woman suffrage plank in their plat
form.
Our State Universal Franchise
League. which has an organization
IN nearly every county, and num-
bers it's members by the thousands,
is not a mOnled organization, since
it is composed of the women of
South Dakota, who are not women
of wealth. We have no large treas
ury with which to meet these insidi-
uous attacks, and for that reason we
are appealing to men and women to
do all in their power, by word, and
deed and gilt. to purge our elections
from the influence of these outside
interests, and our special appeal to
the men of our state IS that they
vote YES" on Amendment Number
6, which grants the right of suffrage
to women.

County Exhibit at
The Corn Palace

Hand countv's splendid exhibit at

Mitchell corr palace last week by
Supt. Van Leon, and Mitchell papers
say that it attracted a great deal of
attention. A business mar has call
ed the writer's attention to an i'm
portant point in this connection. He
suggests that whenever the county
makes such an exhibit it should be
accompanied by literature and ad-
vertising matter descriptive and ex-
pIanatory of Hand county, her peo-
pie. her products, her advantages.
and the low price of her lands. The
suggestion is an excellent one, and
it should be followed in the future.

CAVALRY CHARGES
NO MORE In WAR
Says Son of Judge Boucher With
Canadian Regiment in
France

Aberdeen News-The day Of the
dashing cavalry, that most s~pectacu-
lar arm Of the military machine, is
numbered. The usurpation of it's
principal function, reconnaissance, by
the aeroplane. the almost total cur
tallment of its effectiveness by the
machine gun and the latters' dis
placement of the rifle in modern war
fare is toid in a recent letter from
John Boucher, son of Judge l.. T..
Boucher of this city, who is with the
First Montreal, a Canadian contin-
gent ia Rcuve service on the Somme
front.
Youkg Boucher writes in part:
Il see that such operations as have
been carried out on the Mexican Dor
der were conducted largely by the
cavalry Here, cavalry seems out of
date since its principal function, re-
connaissance, has been superseded by
the aeroplane and its eff. ctiyeness in
a charge has been cut down to MI by
the machine gun as n machine gun
properly used can destroy a regiment
of cavalry in a few minutes.
Rifle Little to Do
Il also notice that Uncle Sam still
seems TO count on rifles as a large
factor III war. The rifle has little to
do in this war except for its bayonet
and bomb throwing attachments.
The machine gun is far more effect
i've as its fire can be kept on any ac-
tive spot IN DAYLIGHT or dark because
of the compass and other lnstru-
ments, although the gunner's vision
of the target is ptscured.
Then, too, one machine gun a
get off as many shots as fifty rifles,
get them in more effectively and is
more easily controlled, to say nothing
OF the Sact that there is only n
head for the enemy to pot at.
