TRAIL MEETING
OF IL COUNTIES
Steps Taken to Secure State and Fed.
eral Funds

A. b. Catalan attended a meeting of
the Executive Board of the Black ana
Yellow Trail, held at Pierre last Fri
day. The board consists OF a vice.
president from each of the twelve
counties through which the trail
passes, and each county was repre-
scented at the meeting.
The formal hearing before the state
highway commission was secured ON
Friday and the petition Of the Black
and Yellow trail highway association
in behalf of the twelve counties was
turned over to the commission. Petit
tions from every one OF the twelve
counties through which the trail
passes were read and embodied in the
general petition of the association.
The paper also set forth ideas and
suggestions for a trunk line system
of highways and also gave arguments
showing the advantages of the Black
and Yellow route.
One of the important matters
brought up before the executives of
the trail was the re-marking of the
route. 1t was decided that each coun-
ty vice president confer with the
county commissioners in his county
and have his section of the trail re.
marked within the coming two weeks.
The officers also decided to publish a
phamplet advertising the trail.
MIR. Cahalan's report to the Com
mercial Club Tuesday night indicates
that the national road fund can only
be secured to apply on post roads.
In Hand county this means on the
rural and star route roads, all run
ming north and south. The state fund
can be had to apply on east and west
roads. A committee was appointed to
look after the county's interests. He
stated that 1t was necessary for Hand
county people to get busy and take
definite action on this matter, or the
county would not receive its share of
the funds to be divided among coun-
ties of the state.

Rain Checks Harvest
Helps Corn and Potatoes

A two days rain Monday and Tues
day, with several showers and cloudy
weather Wednesday, checked the
small grain harvest. and machines
were laid up in the midst of cutting.
Aside from the delay, there was very
little damage occassioned. The rain
came down in a slow drizzle and all
soaked into the ground where it fell.
The moisture is of great benefit to
corn, late potatoes, alfalfa fields, and
to pastures. 1t will also start plow-
ing in the cut fields for the sowing of
winter grain.

Remember the first motion picture you ever saw? Remember when Henry Walthall. Mary Pickofrd, Blanche Sweet, the Moore boys and the Gish girls were all appearing n split-reel productions with the same company?
 Well, sidney M Mutt does.
 It was not so ,ong ago." said Mr. Mutt that We paid real money-25 cents--to see the pictures of a train coming into a station, the launching of a ship the interior of a carpenter shop and some girls skipping rope,
 Since that day the motion picture has developed into perhaps the great est medium for amusement, entertain ment and education the world ever known. So powerful a means of edu- cauon has the art of cimematoeraphy become that many large manufactur- CTS throughout the country are adopt ing it as a medium of eduCa lion.
