FOR THE BLACK HILLS.
The following from the Daily Huron
ite at Huron is a good example of the
boosting that is being done by the east
ern state papers this summer in en-
couraging South Dakota people not only
to see America first but to see the beauty
spots of South Dakota first of all. The
Huron paper says:
ut is becoming known that the Black
Hills of South Dakota are rich in rugged
beauty and scenery of wonderful at
tractiyeness. Black Hills communities
are advertising their specialties and
travel is beginning to turn in their
direction and restfu vacations are being
enjoyed in shaded canyons, beside cool
ing streams
"The people of the United States
might 90 further and fare worse. Ia
fact, they cannot go any distance and
fare better as an outing expedient.
The war in Europe has halted the
immense tide of travel in that direction
and many of those who must 90 some
where when the heat Of summer RACES
are finding out that the invitation that
beck ons from the Black Hills is not a
false allurement No Dakotan should be
so disloyal to home opportunities as to
miss the recreation that abides within
the confines of their own state There
