AN EULOGY OF THE PRAIRIE

mo longer do men fear, hate or de-
spise the prairie" says Wilhelm Miller
Of the University of Illinois in a re-
markable tribute to the glory of the
prairies. His Religion of the Prairie
is wonderfully expressive of the spirit
and ideals of South Dakota.
"The most creative people who ever
lived were the Greeks" he says, but
the greatest race the world shall ever
know will be Graded in the Middle
West. The climate and the landscape
make that certain. For the Middle
West is the worlds greatest runway
for the Withstand for ideas. We
have no complicated mountain sys-
TENS, as Europe, to breed endless arti-
fetal differences of dress, language,
between the Alleghanies and the
Rockies to stop the sweep Of the winds
or the triumphal march Of mans pro-
gress. a better way of doing things
or a nobler ideal, spreads like a
prairie fire. An extreme climate breeds
a lusty body, and a broad landscape
instills breadth of mind. These two
forces, acting silently throughout the
centuries, will beget a corresponding
breadth of soul. Environment must,
in time, make it's mark.
"No longer do men fear, hate, or de
spise the prairie. They once thought
that fiat land must eve be monoton-
Gus, dull, Supplying. But anew, virile,
prairie school of art has opened our
eyes to the meaning of those vast hori-
zontal lines of land, crops, woods, and
the sky, which are the peculiar glory
Of the prairie.
"The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mountain
is not the only symbol of aspiration;
the everstretching ocean and the
prairie are also symbols of the Infinite.

vested sea may smite the soul with

worlds loveliest reminder of Gods end
less bounty. The secret charm of
every prairie view is the vision which
it inspires of a united and prosperous
humanity, The sublime breadth of the
earth's surface stirs every one to con,
s~ecrate his life toward realizing that
vision. This is the religion Of the
prairie that is getting into mems
bones. Everyone who works for the
good of his community knows what
this means.
"The religion of the prairie is the
gospel of beauty. The waving banners
of the corn beget the insurgent soul

Chivington Reservoir

Editor E. X. Won Kielgass Of the
Bristol Record was in the Register
office yesterday. He had recently
been over to the headgate Of the
Chivington system intake canal help
ing the farmers repair damages SO
as to save the big head Of storage
water coming down Big Sandy since
the heavy rains. We know Won had
been doing real work for ne had hon
est-to-goodness eallousness on his
hands to prove he had been laboring.
He reports the reservoir as having a
big supply of water already stored
and more constantly coming in since
the rains. The reorganized company
is now trying to devise a plan to
construct the outlet canal that will
connect with the main canal Of the
system and this when completed will
make the water stored available for
the use of the farmers.

New Sewer Ooulet

The city council at their meeting
on Monday evening opened the bids
for the construction Of the proposed
new outlet for the city sewer system.
The bid of Jack Ford and Lon Filoon
was the lowest and the contract was
awarded to them at their bid Of
SIG, 3O2.2O. Messrs. Ford and Filoon
expect to begin work at once and as
they are pushers will complete it as
quickly as possible. The new outlet
is badly needed and will be a big
benefit to the city in many ways. 1t
will dry out many Easements Of the
town that are now almost useless
through moisture or actual water seep-
ing through.

Damages Drainage District

The May Valley Drainage District
was a considerable loser by the re-
cent high waters caused by the big
rains. Two Of their bridges across
the drainage canal were completely
washed out and the approaches to two
others were washed away. AS the
district is compelled to maintain these
bridges it means a considerable loss
to the taxpayers of the district.

disaster is dependent upon the cooper
alton and determination with which
the people of infested territory meet
the situation.
Where the people have recognized a
common problem" and ont the situa-
ton firmly and with some business
conservation, where the merchants
have restricted advances on the cotton
crop as collateral and insisted on rigid
economy; where the farmers have
practiced economy and diversified their
agriculture, producing first a living
fro mthe farm, the general testimony
is that the agriculture under such
conditions promises readjustment on
sounder basis than existed before
the coming of the weevil Those who
have prepared for the weevil's coming
haev suffered little of inconvenience of
financial embarrassment. But for the
man in debt, the improyident and the
unbeliever, the boil weevil has spelled
a disaster almost inconceivable in its
completeness.

ATLANTA COP HELD FOB
VIOLATING "DRY" LAWS

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. I0.-At1anra po-
licemen have faced the boaru of police
commissioners on various and sundry
charges, but it remained for a new re-
cord to be established when a patrol
man was arrested in the nearby town
of Marietta on the charge of violating
the prohibition law.
A party of four men, merrily rolling
aong a Cobb county turnpike in their
oliver" suffered sudden spill which
attracted quite an audience of curious
spectators, and in the course of re-
assembling the scattered fragments OF
automobile and cargo it was discovered
that five gallons Of perfectly good Ii
quor had been lost in the wreck.
Further investigation revealed the
fact that one of the party who after
v ards gave his name of R. T. David,
was wearing the badge of an Atlanta
policeman. Being the self-confessed
owner and driver of the car, he was the
first to be arrested, and the other three
were also taken in custody.

SEABR0OK's PICTURE
IN FRENCH SCENE

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 10.-A snapshot
picture of w. B. Seabrook on the bank
OF little French brook behind the
lines at Verdun, taken just when he
emerged from a bath in the brook, with
nothing on but Turkish towel around
his middle, supplied a human interest
touch to a collection of war relics
brought back from Mr.. Seabrook and
exhibited yesterday in the show win
dow of a downtown drug store.
Mr. Seabrook is a well-known Allan
Ia newspaper and advertising man
who spent several months in France
as an ambulance driver in the Amer
lean Ambulance Corps, and on his re-
turn recently he brought trunk full
of interesting souvenirs picked up on
the Verdun battlefield.
The snapshot in question showed the
difficulties at first experienced by the
young Americans in the American
Corps where bathing was concerned.
A later snapshot showed several mem
bers of the corps enjoying an impro-
vised shower bath which they had rig
ged up with tub on stills and a
downspout. In this, as in the other,
the camera man was considerate
enough to let them dispose their towels
before pulling the trigger
Fragments of German shells, castings
of French shells, German bayonet, a
French bayonet, gas mask worn by
the French, a French steel helmet, a
belt taken off a dead German soldier, a
tassel taken off the scabbard of dead
German soldier, a tassel taken off the
scabbard of dead Prussian officer, a
brass shield taken off the helmet of a
German soldier and many other inter
esting war relics were in the collection,
which attracted a great deal of inter
est.
