devotion to the Red Cross cause CT hui
manity, without stint or murmur-theIr
work has been one of the finest, most
enduring examples of unselhsh service
OF Americas whole war experience.
Those wonderful women have made the
foundation of future Red Cross work, in
big way, possible. That work must go on,
OF course-as long as American soldiers
are over the sea the Red Cross is neces-
sary-as lohg as emergency relief work
needs to be done.
And now comes your turn to make thc
carrying on of the Red Cross work G
certainty none of your time is asked
for no special effort = just the support
of your membership.

WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
They Have Same Effect on Country
Highway as Roller on Field
Also Pull Easier.

Wide tires build up roads and save
horse labor. They have the same eff
feet upon n country road as a roller on
q plowed field. On the other hand, the
marrow tire cuts up a road like Il disk.
1t has been found by actual test in this
matter that the wide-tired wagon
pulls easier in nearly all cases than
the ,narrow-tired wagon. In deep mud
on q country road the wide-tired wag-
on pulls go per cent easier. On the
country road with a thin surface Of
mud or deep dust, however, the mar
row tires pull 80 per cent easier. In
a cornfield the wide tires pull 3O.5 per
cent easier, In a dry alfalfa field III
per cent easier, and o a dry country
road 1912 per cent easier.

Seventeen and a half million dol
lars is the amount now in the perma-
nent school fund of the state of South
Dakota, which is drawing 5 per cent
interest, all of which goes directly to
the maintenance of the common
schools of the state.
The sales of school lands last
month reached 72,071 acres, which in
creased the permanent fund by 3d.
500, 900. This, added to the $14 ,0OO,-
900 in the fund from previous sales,
makes the total as shown above.
The average price obtained this year
for lands sold in the counties east OF
the Missouri river was $56.45 an acre
This has only been exceeded in one
year, when selected lands were Of
fered in 1915 and brought the aver
age up to $685. an acre. This year
Gull lands were offered in some OF
the older counties, and this kept the
average down.

RED CROSS HAS BIG TASK

The most stupendous and appealing
call in the history of the world to aid
suffering humanity c%onfronts the
American Red Cross. Bookings coun-
ty must raise its share of the $780,
100000 which the Red Cross must
raise at once to take care of the sick
and wounded in the war.
Millions of men who have been fight
ing for liberty lie dead or wounded;
millions of women and children are
homeless and helpless; hundreds of
towns and villages have been de
~stroyed; disease and distress are ram
pant.
Up to now, u own people have not
suffered. While Europe has been
pouring out her Likelihood, America has
experienced prosperity.
But we now ourselves are in this
gigantic a We now see that the
struggle against autocracy and tyran-
ny which our Allies have been max
ing is and has from the first been, in
reality, no less our struggle than
theirs. We ourselves must now share
the suffering which they have en-
dured; we too, must bear the burdens
and We must do our part in a real
way.
We are now facing a situation the
like of which has never existed. 1t is
most important that every man, and
every women in this city have some
idea of that obligation, some idea OF
what the people of this country are
looked to, to supply if we are going &c
begin u work.
The American people have beer
asked to give 800, 900, 900. 1t is {
large sum of money, but, the people
Of this country are going to supply
that one hundred million.
The Red Cross is doing a noble
work. To assist is an obligation up
on every man, woman and child in thi!
country. hope that it will be sufti

For those who are in need OF a rem

1t is a good plan to try Doan's Kidney

Pills are a splendid remedy. My kid

IMPROVING THE BAD SPOTS
Certain Small Ruts That Are Usually
Wet and Soft Determine Load
Farmer Can Garry.

The worst holes In the road always
determine the load the farmer can
market. No stretch of roadway is uni
formly good, because every road has
certain small spots that are usually
soft and wet. These spots cause more
trouble than the rest OF the road COM
bined. How these spots are to be i'm
the soil, and the nature of the oun
try. Many such spots owe their char
acter to Il soft subsoil, due to springs.
Before these roads can be p%ermanent-
ly improved they must be under
drained. If n tile is laid In these
places there will usually be no trouble
in the future. The surface of the road
should then be filled with dirt and
crowned, so any surface water may
run off. IL this Is done there will be
no trouble from subsurface water.
Many roadways that are closed In
with shade trees are bad. If a goOdly
portion of the scrub timber along these
roads be removed. the ground will dry
out and no trouble result. II the char.
acter of the soil is soft and pliable, 80
that 1t will not pack and remain firm,
new material should be applied to the
surface. The best and cheapest mate
rial for improving roads Is gravel.
Where gravel beds are accessible q
days work with a team and wagon
will improve any roadbed permanent
iy. II the soil Is very sandy an 6inch
application Of clay to the surface will
effect wonders. The road patrol should
spend q considerable portion Of its
time In remedying the bad spots In the
road.

STATE AGENCY FOR BEvO

Announcement is made of the ap-
pointment OF Ward-Owsley Co, Aber.
deem, as the state distributors for
Bevo, the tremendously successful
soft drink put out by Anheuser-Busch
The acquisition Of this distributing
agency is a real business stroke on
the part OF Ward-Owsley Co. Bevo
the result of a big idea, is a product
that is entirely out of the ordinary
a scientifically perfect soft drink COM
bination, OF the soluble substances Of
fine hops and cereals. The delightful
flavor and refreshing, appetizing quail
ity of these ingredients are fully re-
tanned, and the beverage is doubly
healthful because of its purity. Bac-
terra may be present in the milk or
water we drink; but Bevo, which Is
boiled pure in the making, and then
piped into sterilized bottles and her
medically machine-sealed, reaches the
consumer absolutely free from contain
ination of any description, whatsoever.
The demand these unusual merits
have created all over the country is
most strikingly attested by the mag
~niicent new Bevo plant. This build
ing, the need of which became APP
parent shortly after Bevo was intro
duced, is the largest and most elab-
orately up-to-date of its kind in the
world. Figures in connection with it
are impressive.
The new Bevo bottling and shipping
plant represents an investment of mil
lions. 1t is s stories high; covers 2
whole blocks; contains 26 acres OF
floor space; has capacity of 2,OOO,-
600 bottles a day and 13 railroad
tracks in the basement that accom-
modate $50 freight cars. The opera
ton provides employment for about
$500 persons.
From which it is clearly to be seen
that the popularity Of Bevo locally is
assured, and that therefore the local
Bevo distributing agency is a valuable
business asset.

THRIFT STAMPS

Kansas City Times-Most persons
have the wrong idea about buying
thrift stamps. They think they are
doing something to help the govern
ment. incidentally they are. But
mainly they are helping themselves
The American people have had mighty
little notion of saving. 1t is so much
easier to spend!
Now ome the government with a
really brilliant idea on helping people
to save. That idea is the thrift
stamp. 1t is on sale everywhere.
Father, mother, son, daughter, every
body with a spare quarter, has a
chance equal to that of the million
aire, to make an investment. Safe
as a government bond. Interest at 4
per cent.
1t is the hardest thing in the world
for young men and women to get in
the way of saving. There are SO
many chances to blow in the money
So they never get that first hundred
dollars. The first hundred is the hard
hundred to get. After that the habit
is established and saving comes
easier. But for lack of that hundred
many a young fellow has stayed in a
Job that he wasn't fitted for because
he couldn't finance a change.
To these young men and women
Uncle Sam m particularly and
says: Put your quarters in my keep
ing. First thing you know you'll have
that hundred. OF course, | need the
money for the war. But you need to
save it on your OWL account even
more than | do to get it,"
What a wonderful thing it would
be for Kansas City if a hundred thous.
and families should each buy, say,
only one thrift stamp a week. That
would mean a saving OF $1,250,000 a
year. 1t would mean a habit that
would be wortht indefinite millions to
the community.

BOOSTING THE BOOSTER

Boost your city, boost your friend;
Boost the church that you attend.
Boost the street on which you're dwell
ing,
Boost the goods that you are selling.
Boost the people round you,
They can get along without you,
But success will quicker find them
If they know that you're behind them
Boost for every forward movement;
Boost for every new improvement.
Boost the man for whom you labor;
Boost the stranger and the neighbor.
Cease to be a chronic knocker;
Cease to be a progress-blocker.
II you'd make your city better,
Boost it to the final letter.

COMFORT A BROKEN MAN

The Red Cross exists, in the main,
to help the sick and wounded Of this
war. Since this wal began, it has en-
barked upon every undertaking by
which the lot Of the sick and wounded
soldiers and sailors may be made
more comfortable. 1t has provided
stretcher-bearers to bring the wound
ed of the battlefield, ambulances to
carry them to the hospital, hospitals
(of all kinds) where they can be
dressed or specially treated, and boats
and lighters by which they can be
shipped for home. In addition to all
this work in the field, it has been
ever since the war began, a great dis
tributing center of all kinds Of CHART
able work, and especially Of those ar
ticles of use in hospitals. 1t gathers
together and supplies to the hospitals
of all the Allied belligerent countries
the countless things continually need
ed, such as dressings, gauze, litn, ether,
X-ray equipment, chloroform, surgical
implements, splints, fracture-beds,
rubber air pillows, drainage tubes,
bedding, crutches and clothing.
1t is now one of the biggest organ
izations outside the armies, and sup
plies comforts and delicacies Of every
kind to the millions Of sufferers brok-
On in the cause. Help the Red Cross
and YOU comfort a broken man.
