IN CAMP AT FORT LOGAN H. ROOTS
By Edward H. Freeman.

by LuWdTu He TICCH"hs
 Friday, June 30, 1916.
 Many boys in Arkansas ara going through something now that is new to them altogether. Sleeping in tents, having their rations served to them in a kit, and drilling several hours each day.
 Company F., First Regiment from Hope entrained Monday morning, June 26 for Fort Logan H. Roots. A strange crowd of people, ? 900 strong saw us leave Hope. Some were cry ing, some laughing, and others with solomn faces.
 We reached Little Rock at 1:15 pm. marched up Markham stre,t to Main street, where we had dinner. After dinner we had four mile hike to the Fort. Upon reaching the Fort, t-nts were raised and by the time every thing was in order and after supper had been serv d, every man was ready to go to his cot for the night, Drill work so far has been very light because vaccination for small pox and typhoid has been given to every man, and this gives each one sore arm.
 am sure it would be quite a strange sight to any one who had never seen regiment of soldiers fed, to see the sight. All are lined up in single file with kit in hand ahl as they pass by the kitchen window each is given his portion, which usually consists of beef, spuds, beans, bread and ether little side dishes. A soldiers kit con- sists of a cup, knife, fork, spoon and an oval shaped pan, and lid with ham dle attachable. The pan is large enough to hold the knife, fork and spoon, so as to make the pack small as possible.
 Our Caily routine consists of first call at $40 a. m., breakfast at 500, drill from [ to II, dinner at 12, drill again from ? D. m. to 5 p. m. supper at 6. Rrereat at $50. From [ to 1O:3O we are allowed any place on the Fort Only five men from each company are allowed to go to town at night. This causes rush to see who ! can be first to get a leave of absence for the night.
 The return of the U. $. Soldiers. tai.cn prisoners at Carrizal, has les sened the situation b-tween the U. s. and Mexico, and our chances for a trip to the border has been weakened. The report is continually rumored that We will leave for the border in 1 few days, but owing to the lack of drill and equipment the Arkansas National Guard will remain at this point at least month unless a great emeroency arises. Only about half of the men know anything at all about drill and that is only a few suitable commands.
 Many want to go and are eagar for orders to depart for the border, while some are good and sick of their job. But Uncle Sam is mighty good to his employas. He will neither fire or ac- cept resignatiOns, and some boys have a position now they cant lose without they are honorably discharged, and this is going to be great lesson to many.
 There are many things in army life that are unpleasant, but at the same time there are many ways to have a gocG time and lots to learn.
 Would be glad to hear from any of my friends, who have time to send Tic a line.
 i take this means of writing to all. Will write again.

VOTE YES ON 1T.

The passage Of the government good
roads measure by congress means more
to the middle western states, like South
Dakota, than other portions of the coun-
try. The Black Hills will especially be
benefited 10y the law, as the Hills not
only will share in the benefits of the
general appropriation for highway i'm
provement across the state but also
through the appropriation for highway
construction in the forest reserve In
these comparatively new states the roads
are seriously in need of large expendi
ditures Of money, and it has been
burden upon the people to what they
felt was necessary in developing and
improving the highways. Taxpayers all
realize the importance Of good roads :;
they want them and need them; but in
sparsey settled districts they have not
been able to DO as much as their dispo-
sition prompted them to do This gov
ernment appropriation will therefore be
of greatest benefit TO the west and South
Dakota will have to get itself in readi-
ness for taking advantage of the govern
ment appropriation by the adoption of
the good roads amendment, which will
be voted upon in November. Every
voter should make it a point to vote yes
on it Lead Call.

MOTION PICTURES TO FEATURE
STATES FOREST RESOURCES.

Denver, July District Forester
Riley, accompanied by Mr. CD. BIanch-
ard, chief statistician of the United
States reclamation service and an official
photogra pher from that bureau, left
Denver today for a trip over the Noun
tain Park system and Bear Creek road
to secure motion pictures Of forest ser
vice road work and scenic attractions on
the Pike national forest.
Mr. Blanchard and his photographer
are here from Washington in accord
ance with cooperative plan between
the forest service and the reclamation
service, having as its object the taking
of some 10000 feet of motion picture
film and several hundred still pictures
on the national forests While their
schedule is expected to cover the six
western districts, their visit to the Pike
forest is said to have been planned pri-
marily to get pictures of its wonderful
scenic attractions for the purpose Of
featuring the recreative advantages Of
that forest. On their return to Denver,
the reclamation service officials wi pro-
ceed to the Black Hills forest in South
Dakota where they are planning to Sc
cure motion pictures of timber sale oper-
ations on that forest, one of which is
said to be among the largest in progress
in the West. From the Black Hills it is
said they will go to the Big Horn forest
in Wyoming for grazing pictures. Be-
cause of the large numbers ofcattle using
the forest range and the exceptional
scenic settings there, the Big Horn was
chosen to feature this phase of forest
service activity. From the Big Horn
they will proceed to the other western
districts.

II. p. INES RESIGNS AS
FOREST SUPERVISOR

1t was with considerable surprise and
regret that we learned recently Of the
resignation of Mr.. r. p. lines from the
position of Forest Supervisor Of the Iiar-
ney National Forest which took effect
on June 3Oth Mr.. lines has held this
position since 1910 when the Forest was
first created and has shown marked abi
ity in handling the many problems which
are constantly coming up TO be solved in
an office Of this kind. He took charge
Of the Forest in its infancy when public
sentiment was strongly against supervi-
sion Of any kind being in effect over
public lands and has succeeded in con
yerting the people to the opinion that
their interests are better taken care of
now than in the old days when every
one did as he pleased Few people rea-
lizo that the Supervisor must follow the
rules and regulations laid down by the
Secretary Of Agriculture much more
strictly than they are governed by state
and national laws and when these regu-
lations conflict with the wishes or de-
sires of individuals friction is almost
unavoidable. II is the Office of the sup
eryisor to enforce these regulations and
still keep peace and harmony with the
people and how well Mr. lines succeed
ed in doing this is well proven by the
universal regret OF the people upon hear
ing OF his leaving the Forest Service.
Mr.. lines has taken great interest in the
construction and improvement Of the
roads and We can make the statement
with confidence that had it not been for
his efforts along this line that we would
not be able to enjoy today the excellent
road between lot Springs and the
Northern Hills We sincerely hope that
the good work started by him viii not
suffer any serious handicap on account
Of his no longer being in charge
We are unable to state at this time
what Mr. lines expects to do in the fut-
ure but WE understand that he will re-
main in the vicinity of Custer for am in
definite period. He left for Spearfish
Immediately after his resignation took
effect for a fishing trip aud to join Mrs
lines who has been visiting her mother
at that place for the last few weeks We
feel that We voice the common senti-
ment Of the entire community in wish
ing Mr.. lines success in whatever new
line Of activity which he decides to take

FORMULA FOR EXTER-
MINATING GRASSHOPPERS

Geo A. Babcock, local agent for the
International Harvester Company of
America, is in receipt of the following
formula which is said to DO the work of
exterminating grasshoppers:
CRAWFORD, Neb., June 20, 1915
GEO. BABCoCK,
Custer, SO. Oak
GENTLEMEN:-We have been advised
that the Grasshoppers are causing con-
siderable annoyance in certain localities,
and one of our travellers, this morning,
reported to us the following conglomera-
tion which appears to do the work of
determination. 1t is being used to good
success around Gordon, Neb.
100 pounds of bran.
2 gallons cheap sorgum.
! dozen lemons.
J dozen oranges.
pounds Paris Green.
This should be mixed thoroughly and
scattered broadcast through the grain
fields, meadows or corn. The Hopper
eating this soon is overcome and other
Hoppers feeding on their carcass, which
they do, are treated in the same manner
1t is estimated that Grasshopper will
eat four times its weight each day II
you only supported one Hopper, this
would not amount to much, but think
of the thousands that are on your fields
at this time.
Yours truly,
INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER
COMPANY OF AMERICA.

IN CRITICAL CONDITION.

jeff McDermott, pioneer ofthree states
of the west, is in critical condition at
the home of his daughter, Mrs Bert
Freeman in Deadwood His illness is
due to the iniirmites incident TO old age
and there appears to be little or no hope
Of his recovery.
jeff McDermott, during his career of
more than sixty years in the frontier re-
gion of the country, has lived life full
of adventure and the ups aud downs of
fortune. He was among the pioneers of
Colorado, Montana and South Dakota
and was one of the original owners of
the Father DeSmet placer claim, which
became part of the DeSmet Mining com.
pany's holdings and eventually passed
into the possession of the Homestake
company He was the founder of the
town Of Golden Gate and was among the
most prominent figures on Deadwood
creek in pioneer days In 1880 he ran
against John 2. Bedding for sheriff and
though defeated, helped to make one Of
the most exciting campaigns of those
days. He was one of the original own
ers of the Hemetite mines of Guernsey,
Colo, then known as Hartville, and
operated in Russell gulch, Montana, aud
in southern Utah. lie made several
trips to Alaska and penetrated far into
the interior. Many Of his mining ven
lures proved successful aud much Of his
earnings went to finance other UNDER

We long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles we long;
But God has led our dear ones on,
And he can do no wrong.
We know not what the future hath,
OF marvels or surprise.
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.

LEGAL OPINIONS
Attorney General Says Health Board Can
not Set Aside Specific Statute.
School Elections.

Pierre, July 5-The attorney general
holds that the state board of health has
not power to set aside specific statute
by an order, regardless of the extensive
power given them in the regulation Of
health in the state The law provides
fee of fifty cents a week for superin-
tendeutS of county boards in making re-
ports 10 the state board, and the state
board at a recent meeting increased this
to five dollars month. This is held to
be without warrant and in violation of
a specific statute, and such claim not
valid
1t is held that where the statute fixes
a specific day for a school election and
the election is held at the usual place of
holding such election, the failure of the
clerk Of the board TO post notice of
election not less than ten days prior to
the date Of the annual election, does not
in any way invaldate the election, as
the voter is presumed to know the law
fixing the date, and the posting Of the
notice is not vital feature.
1t is held that names of candidates for
school positions in independent school
districts cannot be written in on the
ballot. That the only legal form of
nomination in such districts is by petit
tion filed with the clerk of the board.
No other nominations are provided by
law, and the ruling is that where
name is written On the ballot the same
is void

CORRESPONDING THE PASTURE.

CORRESPONDING THE PASTURE.
1T is a mistake to overload the pas
ture in spring since this will cause feed
shortage in July suggests Professor c.
Lalsen OF the South Dakota state college,
He says
In July when there is a lack Gi rain,
with hot and dry weather and the trou-
blesome mosquitoes and flies, the cows
run down in milk and the young stock
lose flesh. Their condition becomes
worse toward fall if the pasture has been
crowded beyond capacity. Such cows
and young stock are then in bad con-
dition to go into the winter, especially
if they are wintered on hay, straw and
corn fodder picked up in the field
Cows kept under such conditions can
not possibly produce milk and butter fat
profitably, produce strong and healthy
calves and rear young stock to be large,
vigorous individuals.
Professor Larsen warns against the
temptation to put into the pasture in
spring all the stock that the pasture will
carry. He states that even if 'the right
amount of stock is put into pasture in
the spring it will usually overstock the
pasture later on. 1t is better to under
stock the pasture a little during the
spring so as to leave plenty of feed dur
ing the latter part of the pasture season
than it is to fill it to spring capacity.
I'm case the pasture is overstocked
and it becomes short of feed plan to
supplement with green feed of any kind.
Green oats, green alfalfa or corn fodder
may be fed daily in the pasture. But to
repeat again, better way still is not
overstock the pastures now"
