Three Hundred Yards Near Marshall
County Line impossible.

Macmillan, Marshall county's thriving
little inland town. on the Carter county
line, welcomes the Ardmore boosters
for more reasons than one. First be-
cause its residents wish to see them
and second. because they know that to
get there an almost impossible stretch
of road just n few hundred feet, be-
tween Macmillan and Ardmore, must
have been fixed If the boosters get
there.
Macmillan is one Of the richest set

Amusements there are for those who

Ardmore is making Sulphur a stop
on the trip because it believes 1t will
be fitting climax to what promises
to be a strenuous journey. The boosters
are reversing the usual order Of things.
They want Sulphur to grow and thrive
and become what she deserves to be
one Of the greatest inland watering
places in the United States. Ardmore
will help to make it such and Sulphur
appreciates it so that when the Ard.

BELLE FoURcHE MUST PAY
AND PROVIDE SITE Al so.

Pierre, S. d., April 27.-The recent
legislature made an appropriation OF
$4,000 to Belle Fourche to have a live
stock pavilion erected there, providing
that Belle Fourche raise an equal
mount and also give 300 square feet
for the pavilion location. When the bill
was introduced the proposition was
that $4,000 should be appropriated by
the state and that Belle Fourche would
give the 300 feet for the location. The
committee, however, amended the bill
and 1t was passed as above stated. In
amending the bill thus, through over
sight. the provision stating that Belle
Fourche was to furnish the 300 feet
was not taken out. Consequently now
Belle IHourche is under obligation both
for the site and the $4,000 and some OBJ
lection is being raised as to furnishing
the site, though the attorney general
rules that the law so holds, even if it
was an oversight of the legislature.

FULL CREDITS Will
Be GIVEN STUDENTS
Dakota Will Not Penalize Boy
Enlisting for Military or In
dustrial Service.

Pierre. S. D.. April 2S.-Superintend-
mt Oh Public Instruction Lugg is is
suing a statement to county superin-
iendents allowing the full years credit
10 students who are enlisting in mill
tary service, providing it is certain
from their marks so far this wear that
they would pas If they had remained
in school until the close of the year.
However, Mr.. Lugg believes that the
students who are willing to enlist in
the agricultural army" and thus fill
a great need in the present crisis should
have every bit as much attention and
as much credit as those Who are en-
listing in military service, and conse-
quently full credit in school studies
for the remainder of the year will be
granted such students going out for
agricultural work, as for those going
now into the military lines.
County superintendent are author-
lied by this statement to arrange for
such special examinations as they
deem necessary to carry out the sllg-
gestions. Questions for such special ex-
aminations for the seventh and eighth
grade finals should be sent to the SUI
p~ertntendent of public instruction for
approval.
Mr.. Lugg's statement reads: High
school seniors who enlist in either
the army or the navy for active service
will be graduated at once. provided
their credits are such hat there is no
doubt of their being able to finish with
their class il they remained in school.
Credit for the complete years work will
be given to other high school students
under the same conditions, making
their record complete for the present
year II they enlist in the military
service.
while the ranks of productive labor
are not organized as are those of the
military service, they afford as large
opportunity for patriotic service to hui
mainly and to IL country in this time
Of need. Students Of the high school
or pupils in the elementary grades
about II years of age who wish to
enlist in the agricultural army for farm
work or gardening. may be given a
special examination to test their fit
ness to be admitted to the privileges
of this service, provided their work
for the preceding months of the year
has been satisfactory. If the special
test indicates that there is a reason

finish with their class this year, should
they remain in school, they may be ex-
cused from school the balance of the
term and may receive their diplomas
