Women's Clubs Growing.

Women's clubs are still made the
target for q good deal Of criticism,
but 1t is all wasted in so far as it
is intended to prevent the growth and
prosperity Of such organizations. 1t

it will never stop the progress Of
the women's clubs in any part of the

that they meet real need It is the
best possible evidence that they are
doing work Of value to very large
number Of women. The quality Of
their membership is as noteworthy as
its increase in numerical strength.

FoRp's PILL IN THE POLE.

oAE-cCnT LETTERS.

The postoaice appropriation bill rs
reported to the ser-te carries one
cent postage provision which is far
less sweeping than the postmaster
generals original proposal. Instead
of reducing the postage on all domes-
tic flrst-class matter from ? cents an
ounce to | cent, regardless Of its dos-
tination, the bill inaugurates the j.
cent rate only for letters to be deliy-
cred within the limits Of the city
where they are mailed This local l.
cent rate includes radiating suburban
and rural delivery routes.
On the face of it, this looks reason
able enough 1t costs less, Of course,
to deliver letters locally than to de-
liver them across the continent. The
haul doesn't cost much but the hand
ling does. and letter that is handled
only once instead of two or three
times probably deserves lower rate.
But unfortunately, even this reduc'
ton seems destined to make deficit
in the departments budget, and that
deficit is to be made good by a more
questionable measure. The rate on
second class matter is to be raised
from cent pound to 11a cents for
the fiscal year of 1917 and 2 ceats for
1918.
That affects all newspapers and
magazines except weekly newspapers,
which are still to be carried free in
their own counties. The result is that
the publishers OF newspapers and
magazines already burdened by ruin.
GUS rises In the price of paper and
ink. are to have their postage bills in
creased SO per cent starting July /,
and 100 per cent the next year.
Aside from any consideration of
self-interest, perhaps newspaper pub
fishers may be allowed to question
the wisdom of this policy. Is there
any real demand for l-cent postage,
even for local delivery? II so, the
public Is not aware Of it. Why, then,
tighten the burden on this particular
class OF mail, at the expense Of an in
dustry already overburdened by extra
ordinary expenses? An industry too,
that is supremacy important to the en-
lghtenment and welfare of the com
munlty.

"rhe bar Of this county has sus.
tanned deep loss in the untimely
death OF our brother H. r. Berndt. He
was stricken down in the full strength
of manhood and, so far as man can
see, before his work was finished. he
was faithful to every trust commit

honest and sincere in his dealings
with his fellowmen. AS a public off.
cial he always placed duty before
every other consideration. He was
ready to suffer for what he thought
right. No dishonOrablc act mars his
name as a lawyer and a gentleman.

our heartfelt sympathy and hope that
Time, the healer of all wounds, will
in a measure assuage the anguish OF
their bereavement and leave them
only the cherished memory of a kind
and loving husband and father

GOES TO ROSEBUD
Claude G. Covey, Who Came to

of Transfer

Claude c. Convey, superintendent of
the Standing ROCK Indian reservation,
has been transferred to the office Of
superintendent Of the Rosebud reser-
walton in South Dakota
Covey came to this state December,
1914, from the Navajo Springs reser-
walton in Colorado. The famous Stand
ing Rock trail is one of the achieve
ments of his administration He be-
gan in 1915 to undertake the first sys-
tematic road work ever undertaken
on the reservation. 3''-H '''s.f.
There were 5000 head of cattle on
the reservations when Covey took
charge. He secured an appropriation
from the Indian department, and pur-
chased 1000. heifers, in 1915. So sue
cessful was the experiment, as he
called it, that between 500 and 1000
head were sold the following spring.
From the original stock, the herds
among the Indians have increased
to 10000 head. ".' row r.

Much Good Roads Legislation
TO the everlasting credit of the Fiji

amount of good roads legislation, Gre
ating state highway commission,
and making an adequate appropria-
ton therefor; divcrting large part
of the funds derived from the regis
tration of automobiles to the use Of
this commission; providing for state
aid in the building of highways and
bridges; passing an act specifically
designed to enable the state to take
advantage of federal aid for post
roads, and enacting a drag law similar
to statutes in force in Iowa and other
states, which will compel keeping in
good condition highways once built.
The biennial budget bill as it final
ly passed both houses after an agree
ment among c0nferees, carries to-
tai appropriation of $3,379,944.13,
about seven thousand more than the
aggregate when the bill left the SEN
ate, and about seventy thousand more
than the first total left by the house.
No important appropriations have
been cut to any extent.

ments was reconsidered, and the bill
sent to conference committee. 1t
later was passed, when the house re-
coded from it's amendments.
Senate Bill 166, making an apprO

The bill originally called for $120,00O;
the senate cut it to $4,000, the house
boosted it back to 100000, and Fri
day afternoon the conferees split the
difference.
