"A TRUE STORY"

This poem was written for the Register
by a man in the county jail.
Near a little County Village
Not many miles from here,
There lived a young farmer
Whose friends he held most dear.
There came a young nan to my place
Who claimed to be my friend,
He turned out to be a crook, Sir,
And tried to land me in the Pen.
We were trapping Muskrats together
Along the river Sioux.
And all the cash we got for the furs
We intended to split half in two.
Now Plat squealed on his partner,
In order for himself to get clear,
He lost his furs, and SO did |,
That's why am sitting here.
was called to Brookings the next day
To have my hearing there,
| had to stand the fine for killing all
the Rats,
OF which | did not think quite fair.
The Justice read the Penalty,
He was very polite you see;
He said he could fine me from (Ten to
Fifty Dollars) for each Muskrat,
Which seemed quite expensive to me.
The States Attorney was very lenient
And recommended my fine be cut down
He said he thought $1,000 sufficient.
The Justice wrote it down.
They asked me if | could pay my fine,
| said | could not raise the Kale.
That gave me az sentence of Thirty
days,
The Sheriff took me to the County
Jail,
Now all you young trappers,
Take warning to what | say;
Don't trap before the season is open,
You will find it doesn't pay.
Now, | think | have learned a lesson.
As you will see when you read this

"SEE NAPLES kNO DIE"

(Eleanor Rim Danforth, Los Angeles)
To speak of the climate of California
is like saying "the gold of Ophir' or
"the cedars of Lebanon" 1t is almost
as impossible to think of one without
the other as the Siamese twins!
To the mind of the native Of Cali
fornia, Climate" is something pecul-
iarly her own, the rest of the earth
having merely weather" 1t is at
one her chief asset and her bugbear.
1t has been advertised and CONNER
cialized. 1t is the lure to the unwary
tourist, and the solace of those who
proudly boast, 81 have never been out,
side the state in my life" Irwin Cobb
could see humor in the tense question,
"How do you like u climate?" com
ing unanimously from bootblack and
governor. To me. like the average
resident, 1t is all seriousness. Should

THE ROADS IN SOUTH DAKOTA

This poem was written for the Register by
Il man who ought to be in Jail.
The reason that Napoleon met defeat
at Waterloo
Was not because his soldiers did not
dare to die and do;
But all his guns stuck in the mire, they
wouldn't nov no more
And all for the simple reason that it
had rained the Night before.
But the tragedy superlative, that | will
now relate,
1t happened not in Europe but in the
Coyote State.
And the times that it has happened J
could name them by the score,
And the reason, it was simply that it
had rained the Night before.
We have thirty thousand Autos in
South Dakota, up to date,
And the number is increasing at an
astounding rate;
But the roads are rough and muddy
and the most of them are poor,
And all machines are crippled if it
rains the Night before.
The capital invested in the cars that
roopla orr
Is twenty million dollars, and then his
tory has shown,
They are used for work and pleasure
and for purposes galore,
But they're not worth a d if it rains
the Night before.
Just take, for an example, our best of
county fairs,
When ten thousand people all had
planned to motor there;
The days were bright with sunshine
but the roads were muddied DER
So the people stayed at home for il
rained the Night before.
The directors were distracted for the
GATE receipts were small,
Our fair turned out a fzzle and its
prestige took a fall;
And all this big disaster has cost lots
to restore;
1t was wholly for the reason that i
rained the Night before.
The reason that South Dakota has Sc
many WaterlOos,
And the autos all are useless, and the
owners have the blues,
Is because the roads are rotten; ant
of this you may be sure
It is mostly for the reason that /
rained the Night before.
Since the State Aid plan has started
some few stretches have BEEF
made
Like islands in the ocean all trimme'
to proper grade;
But the seas of mud between then
emphasizes all the more
HOW ALL ROADS ARE USELESS
it rains the Night before.

But if the people will wake up and
follow other peoples plan
They could make South Dakota High
ways the finest in the land.
Then when all are completed, it can
rain or it can pour.
But il won't make any difference II II

Angels. They probably there call it
the "Los Angeles Special" just as our
own "Attica Jerk" in Attica is spoken
Of as 1.-THE C~ovington punkin vine"
Another common delusiOn Is that
we have delicious fruit and vegetables
all the year round raised by irrigation.
They are lacking in quality and flavor.
Would | not forgo them all for one
Winesap, a Grimes Golden, or a clus-
ter OF real grapes, Concord, you know
Or real cherry pie,-or real any
thing!
Eggs have a different taste, and you
really feel ashamed for the guilty bird
until one day you eat fried chicken,
then you realize that she has done
her sawdust best"
Milk-perish the thought! And
meat-let them call 1t such.
Some people dine at the Hotel Alex
andria. but most OF us at cafeterias
for you may be sure you will get moth
Ing good to eat anyway. SO you might
as well not pay much for it.
There are some good cooks amons
your friends, no doubt. "Grapple then
to thy soul with hoops of STEEL" dine
with them frequently, and tell then

be 100000 bushels, and growers
would do we'll to take precautions
against undue losses through careless
handling.
Some Of the things to be observed
are as follows:
l. Potatoes should be thoroughly
mature before being harvested.
2. They should be handled careful
~ to prevent bruises, as such places
cause rot very quickly.
3. Injured potatoes should not be
stored with sound ones.
T. The potatoes should be sub
tected to a temperature Of SIS to 80
degrees Fahrenheit as soon as they
are put away, and the moisture con-
tent reduced to 10 per cent or less.
5. Potatoes should be stored In a

AZURE can be kept uniform. This will
save a large per cent Of all good
sound potatoes, while the old bank
method usually causes a loss OF %
70 so per cent Old tenant houses
can often be utilized for that purpose.

DISPOSE OF Tx
UNPROFITABLE HEN
cuiiins Should Sc Done Frequently
and Thoroughly.

After hens reach a certain age, de-
pending upon the way they have
been handled, they can no longer pro-
duce eggs prof1tably. Those which
are forced for heavy egg production
by the liberal use Of stimulants witt
reach this stage quicker than the 9TH
ers. Whenever this stage is reached
the mems should be marketed as soon
as possible.
A pretty safe rule to follow with
the average hocks which have not
been treated with stimulants is as
follows: Dispose of hens Of the light,
active breeds, such as Leghorns and
Anconas, as Soon az they have passed
through their third laying season:
~ the medium weight
breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks.
Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and
jOrpigr tons as soon as they have pass
ed through two laying seasons. At
the same time, discard all younger
hens which have baggy abdomens,
which have a tendency to stay over
tat, or which lack health or vigor In
any way. 49,
The culling should be done fire.
nuently and Thoroughly. 1t rarerIy
pays to hold an old or weak bird
for q better market. The quicker
they are sold the better. The average
flock should be thoroughly culled at
teast once month. Such practice
will not materially reduce the output
of the flock, but, on the other hand,
will greatly increase the profits by
reducing the required amount of high
priced feed and labor.-A F. Rc::,

during the war and save thousands Of
dollars annually in food i'm times of
peace If it will take steps to utilize
the millions of fish which inhabit it's
thousands of lakes. This is the con-
tention of Sam F. Fullerton, for years

Governor Burnquist.
In all probability the governor will
