MAKING GOOD.
Lloyd Brodus Hot Springs Boy Take.
Over HAYNES AGENCY.

A deal was closed yesterday
whereby Lloyd Brodus, formerly
bookkeeper at the Dineen's Service
Garage has taken over the agency of
the Haynes cars for Natrona and
Converse counties.
Mr.. Brodus is a live wire and
claims to have live car to back.
and in view of the fact that the Hay
mes people have been making auto
mobiles for the past twenty-five
years, in fact they claim the distinc-
ton, and rightfully, that the Haynes
was the first motor vehicle made.
The cars are certainly beauties
and have wonderful record behind
them, and we are confident that Mr..
Brodus will meet with deserving
success in his new venture.-Casper

very inspiring addresses.
Mrs. d. B. Street, National Secre-

senteT very vivid word picture of
existing conditions in our own Uni
ted States.
Miss Grace Bayne. our friend and
deaconess nurse from the Rapid CITY
hospital brought us a few echoes
from her field of service.
Dr. Minty gave us some very prac

methods of our military friends in
winning recruits for our chapters.
On Wednesday evening the orches-

BUILDING S1Los IS PATRIOTISM
More Silos Mean More Dairy Cows
More Butterfat for Soldiers

Brookings, S. d., July 13-Only
three thousand of eighty thousand
farms in South Dakota are equipped
with silos, which means that enough
corn fodder in this state is going to
half more cows than we have at
present. According to Prof. c.
Larsen of South Dakota State college,
a half million more cows would pro-
duce hundred million pounds more
butter, one half million more calves,
and enough skim milk to feed these
calves and million more pigs. The
extra amount of butter obtained from
the wasted fodder thru silos would
supply an army of 100000 men for
a year. Therefore, "a silo on every
farm" should be the slogan of every
South Dakota farmer as an indica-
tion of his patriotism.
The farmer who has a silo need
never worry about late corn CROP"
says Professor Larsen, "for if the sea-
son is late or if the frost comes early,
he has plenty of good corn for the
silo. The silo is the farmers safety
valve in crop production. 1t GER
tainly is fact that corn is consider
ably behind it's normal growth this
year so that there is some danger of
not getting a matured crop.
The use of silos and silage in
South Dakota is not an experiment
for they have been thoroly tested in
all their different phases. There are
many kinds of silos-but do not de-
lay the building of one just because
there are so many from which to
choose. The main thing is, build
q silo."

them but they fail to use them nearly
as much as we do in South Dakota
In some places you will find roads
graded for five or ten miles and the
travel all on the prairie to the out
side OF the grade due to the simple
reason that they do not properly
drag the road, and it has never been
used.
In South Dakota l found the hest
road between Aberdeen and Redfield
which is model road, we'll graded
and we'll dragged. The road over
the so-called Black and Yellow trail
between Pierre and Rapid CITY is a
Joke as any tourist who has been
over 1T will testify. In my opinion
~ is shame to have this road listed
IN the Blue Book where it will mis-
iead travellers to pass over it with
the expectation that they are to find
graded highway. The worst part
OF this road it between Fort Pierre
and Phillip distance of SO miles.
and fully fifty miles of this road is
over gumbo flats that have never
been graded and there is apparently
but one single track or rut made by
cars which every tourist must follow
The road is also poorly marked and
many travellers get off the route.
The road on the Black and Yellow
trail is graded from Wasta. South
Dakota to Rapid City but is has not
been dragged single time this year
and consequently is rough, being
mostly thru gumbo country. Rap
id City has built splendid road out
of there towards Hill City for dis
tance of about twelve miles, and peo-
pie contemplating going to Rapid
City from Hot Springs, or on east
from Rapid City should take this
road in preference to the road by the
way of Buffalo Gap, Fairburn and
Hermosa. These towns do not seem
to take any interest in good roads
and are doing nothing towards i'm
proving the routes passing thru.
AS to patriotism at the present
time as indicated by flags the East
ern part of South Dakota and all of
North Dakota display much more
patriotism than the Black Hills. In
st. John, North Dakota, only short
distance from the Canadian line, it
being town of not to exceed five
hundred people, there were fifty
large flags flying in the town. Old
Glory at the top of the staff, the Brit
ish flag just below, and the French
flag below the British. In Eastern
South Dakota nearly all the public
buildings have the American flag
flying and great number of the
private houses as we'll. We found
all the large bridges that we passed
over guarded by soldiers, and in all
of the large towns we found a great
deal of war enthusiasm, especially
the towns that had sent companies.
In closing permit me to say that in
my opinion the only way to travel
thru country so as to gain the best
know ledge OF the country itself as
we'll as its people is by auto. You
are your own boss, can go as fast or
slow as you please, and whenever a
place of unusual interest is reached
you can use your own pleasure as to
how long you should stay without
keeping up with any set railway
schedule. Yours truly.

First With News,
Journal Scores Its
Third Great Beat

Scoring beat over New Or
leans, Montgomery and Mobile
papers, The Journal scored its
third great scoop of the past
month when it reported the pass
age of the declaration of war by
congress after an emotional
seventeen-hour session.
The Journal was the only pa
per in Pensacola or West Flor
ida that carried the epochal
story yesterday morning.
The resolution was adopted at
8 a. m. Friday, and received here
at 2:23-the hours difference
between eastern and central time
explains the discrepancy. The
Journal, however, had cut its
schedule even finer than usual,
intending to hold the forms open
until the last possible minute,
without missing the mail.
Other beats The Journal made
recently were when it gave the
news of the senate's adoption of
the war resolution, and when it
printed the story cf Germany's
monstrous racial alliance against
the United States.
