Obituary

Daniel F. Lawler, son of Mr. and
Mrs John Lawler, of Cedar twp,
passed away at the family home
Thursday. at the age of "a wears,
after a long illness OF fifteen years.
He was born in Chicago in 1882, and
came to Hand county with his par.
ents the following year, so that
practically his entire life was spent
here. Daniel was a bright and
happy boy, full Of the joy of Young
life. He loved the hills and the
prairies about his home; his COM
rades were loyal friends; he joined
earnestly with parents and brothers
in creating a happy ahd useful
family circle In the bloom of
youth as he approached manhood's
estate. the insidious disease of con-
sumption laid hold of this young
life. and gradually Slapped away the
strength of a promising manhood.
After years of suffering, with patti
tience and fortitude, the young mans
spirit took its flight to its heavenly
home-the first break in a happy
family circle of an estimable pioneer
family.
He leaves to mourn his loss father,
mother, brothers John, James and
Frank, all present at the funeral.
Services were conducted saturday
at the home by the aged priest
Father Plus Boehm, of the Stephen
mission, who has visited among his
COMMITMENTS in southwest Hand
county for a third of a century.
Ihe remains were brought to Miller,
where services were also held by the
resident priest, Father Duffy. and
were laid to rest in the Catholic
cemetery.

CITY ADJUSTMENTS
ATTRACT AUTOISTS
Large Numbers Drive Miles to
See the Movies and to Shop

At 8 o'clock Saturday evening 60
automobiles were parked on the
Main street Of Miller. Very few of
them were town cars. People from
the country and neighboring towns
were here to shop and enjoy the city
entertainments. Saturday after.
moons and evenings appear to have
been selected for great numbers of
autos to drive to town, both for bust
ness and pleasure.
As new ears are being taken out
nearly every day the numbers will
increase. This great influx of cars
at a given time will necessitate a
systematic parking of cars on the
Main street. 0v facing them into the
curb, which will give more room,
and permit any single auto to back
out without disturbing others.
The automobile opens up oppor-
tunitles to people living at consider
able distances. A fifteen to twenty
five mile drive makes it possible to
attend the movies or any other even
ing entertainment. affords a plea
surable ride. and does not interfere
with the days work.

Grooming Resources

dous growth of the northwest is
probably not appreciated in the far

That from 1900 to 1915 Minnesota's
bank deposits jumped from $76, OOO.-
600 to $751; 600, 900 reads like a tale

biossomed like the rose, for in this

SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD COST
Amount Spent for Improvement
Of Its Highways.

There are now only four states in
the Union that have not enacted laws
providing for state aid for good roads
work. One of these states is South
Carolina the others being Indiana,
Mississippi, and Texas These three
other states, however, are above South
Carolina in expenditures for road
work. Indeed, according to informa-
tion which has been received at Glenn
son college from the United States
department of agriculture. this state
cannot boast of its record in road
work and is considerably behind most
of the other states of the Union in this
respect.
In 1914, South Carolina spent ST.
100000 ON road work, this money COM
ing from local funds of counties, town.
ships, and districts. There were no
expenditures by the state and local
units jointly, or by the state alone.
In the same period, Indiana spent $13,-
258,761 and Iowa spent $11 1863, 900. Nor
does South Carolina compare we'll
with even the other southern states.
As against this states 100000,
North Carolina spent $3,930,0O0. Geor-
gia, S2,500,000; Alabama, $2,795,O00;
Mississippi, $2,S55,O00; Tennessee,
$2,500,000; Texas, $3,750,000. In fact,
the only states on the list which are
not above South Carolina in road ex-
penditures are the undeveloped states
of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah, and Wyoming; and the diminu-
tive commemorative of Delaware,
Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The total of all surfaced roads in
South Carolina is 4,SSS miles. In this
respect, the state compares favorably
with many. since its percentage of
surfaced roads is 173, making 1t the
