the good roads movement was becOm.
ment resulted in hundreds of miles
of good roads in the ~neighboring
states, being kept in good travable
condition by voluntary labor on the
part Of the farm wners. Any con
siderable stretch of road however had
its bad spots. caused by men who
would not do the needed work neces-
sary to make good dirt roads. The
result was a growing dislike to the
voluntary system of good road main.
'%tenance.
"In Iowa for instance it has result
ed in the road patrol law, which corn
pels the county commissioners to en-
ploy a sufficient number of road pa
trolls to keep the roads in a smooth
condition. There the road patrols this
year are paid $125 per month. Each
man is expected to care for about IF
teen miles of road, he is equipped
with a light two-horse grader, a drag.
a pillow, and the necessary hand tools.
He is expected to give his full time
to road improvement and to make
prompt report of the major defects,
meantime keeping the rOad way
smooth, and free of ruts, stones, etc,
and the water ways in such condition
that a road quickly drains itself. The
Good Roads club in Sioux Falls and
Minnehaha county should profit by the
experience of Iowa and Minnesota
and should begin with the establish
Iment of road patrols. The writer
would suggest two or more main lines
of travel both east and west and north
and south through the county, con
Meeting the principal points, and Their
two or more roads bisecting each
township. A system of this kind
would consolidate the good roads sen
timent and ought to result in so much
satisfaction that a road patrol law
would be established throughout the
state. Roads are easy to build in
this state, and we are entitled to the
best.
The question Of better t%ransporta-
ton throughout South Dakota is at
a standstill for several years to come
so far as the railroads are concerned,
and it is largely for this reason that
more serious thought must be given
to more extensive and better built
systems of graded and graveled roads.
Two and three-tOn truck loads can be
handled on well graded and graveled
proved in Illinois and Indiana for the
last 20 years, and as can be demon
strated right here neal home, say be-
tween Luverne and Adrian, Mimi, and
with similar roads leading to Canton,
Lennox and Parker, to Salem, Madi-
son, Dell Rapids, and Trent, east on
the Brandon road, southeast to Rock
Rapids, etc, with auto truck express
lines which would quickly come then
Sioux Falls could simply foreclose on
the wholesale business within rs miles
of this city in every direction. The
new Good Roads club should be the
hub, around which such a system of
roads could be outlined and built.
Every auto owner should send or bring
in his membership at once
I saw a road drag at work this
morning. 1t was not working right be-
cause it was not hitched up right.
The best work turned out by the road
drags is when they are set at an an

The Pass of ThermOpylaf

By HERBERT KAUFMAN
Author Of do Something! Be SomefhAngl'
" ERXES once led a million soldiers out of Persia in an efon
n to capture Greece, but his invasion failed utterly, because q
mountain pass, which controlled the road into Lacedaemon. The
man who was first on the ground had the advantage.
Advertising is full Of opportunities for men who are first on the
ground.
There are hundreds of advertising passes waiting for some one
to occupy them. The first man who realizes that his line will be
helped by publicity, has a tremendous opportunity. He can gain an
advantage over his competitors that they can never possess. Those
who follow him must spend more money to equal his returns. They
must not only invest as much, to get as much, but they must as
already established in the community.
Whatever men sell, whether it is actual merchandise or brain
vibrations, can be more easily sold with the aid Of advertising. Not
one half Of the businesses which should be exploited are appearing
in the newspapers. Trade grows as reputation grows and advertising
spreads reputation.
If you are engaged in a line which is waiting for an advertising
pioneer, realize what a wonderful chance you have OF being the hrst
Of your kind to appeal directly to the public. You stand a better
chance Of leadership than those who have handicapped their strength,
by permitting you to get on the ground before they could outstip
you. You gain a prestige that those who follow you, must spend
more money to counteract.
If your particular line is similar to some other trade or business
which has already been introduced to the reading public. it's up to
you to start in right now and join your competitors in contesting
for the attention of the community. The longer you delay the more
you decrease your chances of surviving. Every man who outsuips
you is another opponent, who must be met and grappled with, for
the right of way.

LITTLE ITALIAN MISS
ARRIVES FROM OVERSEAS

Not all OF the passenger traffic
overseas has been cut off by the sub
marine menace, but the trip across
the water is not a particularly safe
undertaking at the present time, ac-
cording to the story of Miss Bettina
Nizzi, a l7-year-old Italian girl who
arrived at Ration from New York
enroute to the home of her parents
at Dawson.
The young lady left Genoa, Italy,
on March IA. and arrived at New
York last Sunday, then continued
her trip to Ration by railway, which
she said frightened her much more
than the overseas trip during which
the big liner encountered II hostile
submarines and succeeded in evading
all of them. The ships course was
made along the Spanish coast, thence
TO England, and later by deviating
lines across the Atlantic. The girl
who speaks no English, said through
her interpreter that she enjoyed
watching the maneuvers at sea. but
the big railway trains frightened her
terribly. Miss Nizzi left Immediately
by stage for Dawson, completing her
6000- mile journey by western jitney
service.
