HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

During the first hysteria begotten by
cur entrance into the world war a
governor of n of u central states
issued a statement that highway work
should be curtailod during the war. in
ordor to economize. At the very time
thar true economy is called for, this
governor proposes to call a halt on a
c'a+ Of construction whose primary
aim is 10 reduce the cost Of trans
portation and incure the prompt de-
Ivory of perishable farm products.
Fortunately few men in high office
have such nearsighted vision. Whether
TIL war is to last one year or five,
th,re is abundant economic reasons
for opposing any curtailment of the
program for building improved roads
end streets. If the war is to be short,
then the slight temporary saving Of
capital effected by disseminating high
way work will be negligible. If the
var is TO be long, then we shall secure
economy by the building of even more
sood highways than are now planned.
Horses for farm work are already
scarce and a long wal will make them
scarcer. With better roads and streets
il becomes possible to release many
horses for blowing, cultivating and har-
vesting, because motor vehicles far ex-
eel horses wherever pavements are
good.
a capacity of nearly a million rs horse
power cars a year. Where is there a
horse or mule factory capable of such
a power output? The hauling power of
25, 900 900 horses can be created every
by this one factory. but the abil-
ity to use this vast power every day of
the year depends entirely upon the ex-
istence of hard, smooth roadways.
We need a campaign for better
streets as well as better roads, as we
indicated in another editorial ar
ticle, and we need it right now. The
paving of streets will not only release
riore delivery horses for the farms,
but will reduce the cost of delivery
in the cities, thus affecting a double
economy.

9 FOR VAR TIME

One Of the most important things
t1at every housewife should know about
food IS its value as nourishment for the
body. We must have foods that feed
There are several kinds of values that
all human bodies need. and without
HIGH they cannot be healthy and well
nourished- These are:
/ Material to build the body and re-
pair waste.
2. Material to give heat and strength
3. Material TO enrich and cleanse the
blood.
I. Material to form bone.
Let US take them in order.
l. It may be said of the body-build-
ing material that in a sense it is the
most important Of all, because we can
not live without it, while we might 60
on living for some time without most
Of the others. though we could not long
remain healthy. Cheese, ~lentils, beans,
peas. meat. fish, oatmeal, eggs, nuts,
and, to a somewhat less extent, good
bread. and all have much body building
material.
2. Fats of all kinds, such as butter.
cream, suet, d%rippings, margarine, and
nut butter, give warmth and strength
to work. Sugar molasses and golden
strip are also heat giving and so are
starchy foods such as potatoes. rice
and c%ornstarch.
3. Vegetables and fruits other than
peas, beans, etc, contain little body
building material, but they give the
the body what TO other foods give:
certain juices which purify the blood,
and without which no one can be
healthy. These precious juices are
boiled and the water poured down the
sink. II these juices are taken by
people every day in properly cooked
vegetables. there would not be nearly
so much money spent at the drug store
in having medicine put up.
4. The bone-forming materials are to
be found principally in milk and cheese
good bread, oatmeal, onions and many
green vegetables. They are absolutely
necessary for growing children-Maria

OUR NEW NATIONAL ARMY

We now have a new military force
selected from the flower of our best
manhood. Just who is in this magnlh-
cent array viii be the ones picked. is
Of course not yet settled. But we are
assured that when the new half million
men go to carry the banner of liberty
into the worlds fight for freedom, they
will be the men who have had o II
ferred upon them breyets for mental
stamina and moral and physical fitness.
The flower of America" Yes, and no
army raised by England or France,
ron of the trained troops of the Ger
man Overload. can ever rank with
them in grade of stamina or fitness.
They are picked, selected, chosen. As
a basis for a grand lighting corps, they
will have the best natural equipment of
any body Of men eve assembled. We
shall take the best and nothing but the
best for this first array. Their morale
will be ~unequaled, as every man will
feel that he has been chosen from
among many, and his pride will make
him live up to the expectation. Con-
tact with other picked men will keep
him sharp and alert, and the thrill
that comes from numbers will exhilev.
ate him to a feeling of strength and
force.
The regular army, in the advanced
posts, will be big. but o big enough
The national guard will bring more
numbers to the front. But when this
great national army is assembled. the
vast numbers of our entire force will
carry a physical and moral weight
which will prove an irresistible power
for the establishment of a TRUE De

no one think that this first installment

FOR n FARM Err

To guard against bloat when turning
cattle into alfalfa or clover, the fol-
lowing precautions should be observ-
ed during the first few days, says DR..
c. C. Lipp of the South Dakota State
College,: Do not put cattle into such
pasture if wet with dew or rain. Since
this seems to cause bloating more
quickly than dry pasture. 1t is not a
good plan to turn cattle into alfalfa or
clover pasture in the morning when
they are hungry and liable to eat too
much. Allow them to fill up at least
partially first on old hay or straw or
bluegrass pasture.
The Kentucky experiment station
has found the following treatment for
bloat satisfactory if given in time:
Give as a drench as soon as signs Of
hloat appear three tablespoonful Of
formalin in a quart of water. followed
by moderate exercise.
In advanced cases Of bloating. when
there is danger Of suffocation, the fore.

OUR GERMAN PATRIOTS

While there may be men of German
descent in our country who are doing
US wrong. While there may be those
who sympathize with the motherland.
Yet the vast lot of those who have
come from the land of our enemy, and
cast their lot with US in this free land,
are just as loyal and just as sincere as
any man born under the shadow OF
Plymouth Rock, or whose ancestors
threw tea into Boston harbor.
Right here in South Dakota we have

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN

Over the top, far beyond the fond

in subscribing to the Second Liberty
Loan, this camps answer to the kaiser
being 2067 subscriptions for total
of $164,550, fraction less than $50 to

the largest amount of subscriptions,
and therefore each of them will re-

Just at the eleventh hour, to swell
the total in the big Liberty Loan drive,

took another million dollars worth of
bonds, which makes 100000 worth,
