fool can go into battle, but not every
man can give melon to his general

"Quite true" remarked the emperor
laughing. and, taking the cross from
his own breast, he pinned il to that OF
his old grenadier. 'Let it be for the
melon" he said.

it in other countries, but it has ap-

When the eraser becomes well worn
it is apt to smear the paper when 1t is

simply rub little chal.- on the edge

n FAIR

In spite of the fact that it was
cloudy and a drizzling rain fell all day
yesterday the County Fair opened up
in good shape and entertained close
INTO three thousand people. The ex-
hibits of various kinds are well filled
and the stock show is one Of the best
we ever had. The Worlds Fair Shows
are an entertainment in themselves
and the aeroplane flights are very in
teresting to the large crowd of specta-
tors.
Yesterday the returned soldiers had
their day and there was a large attend
ance IN spite of the inclement weather.
Over three hundred sixty of the boys
uSpeared in uniform and were sd
mitted to the Fair grounds free of
charge. In the evening they were en-
tertained at the G.. A. r. hall with
what we have heard some of the boys
say was the best banquet they had
had anywhere in all their fetes and
entertainments. The supper was fol
lowed by a dance in the armory and
we are told that it was largely at
tended and greatly enjoyed.
1t looks today as if the weather was
going to continue cold and cloudy and
if it does the attendance is not going
to be all that was looked for.

DEATH OF MR.. LADD

Elijah Sherman Ladd was born in
Schenectady, N. Y, October II, 1874,
and departed this life at his home
north Of Brookings, August 28th, 1919,
aged IA years, 10 months and II days.
When Mr.. Ladd was eleven years Of
age the family moved to Patch Grove,
Wis, where he grew to manhood. In
January, 1864, he joined the Union
army and served faithfully until the
end of the war. He was united in
marriage to Mary Ann Booth, March
18th, 1880, and on March 9th of the
same year Mr.. and Mrs. Ladd came
to South Dakota where they shared
the hardships of pioneer life and
helped to develop the country. Mr..
Ladd had the spirit of the pioneer.
He was a useful citizen in this new
country and made substantial contri-
button to the welfare of his section
of the state. He was a good n~eighbor
and a tireless worker who always kept
before his eyes the vision Of better
days to come. He has always had
good health until a few years ago when
he had a breakdown from which he
recovered sufficiently to be about his
usual duties. When the end came 1t
came suddenly as he always wished
to have 1t come that he might not
linger with failing strength.

ROADS PAST TALKING STAGE

The best thing about the good roads
movement now is that ii is a move.
ment Of materials toward the roads
to be improved and not exclusively a
movement of devoted and public spir-
tied jaws, as it has been for ten or
fifteen years. More highways are
definite projects or under actual con
s~truction at this time than evH be-
fore in the road building history Of
this country.
The returned soldiers from France
are telling us stay at homes what good
roads mean. The young Yanks in the
A. e. F. came in contact with roads
that had been kept good for centuries.
They know what would have happen
ed in the movement OF troops, sup
plies, etc, had it not been for the ex-
cellent French highways. Highways
are meant to travel over They will
insist that our roads must meet this
reasonable test. All improvements
have to go through their talking
stage" That is characteristic of any
democracy. But our public is about
to issue an order for a real system OF
good roads. These confident state
ments are borne out by the fact that a
number of states have adopted road
building programs and provided for
the money. This Is not reconstruction.

RECEIVERS FROM ACCIDENT

DR.. c. j.. Engelson was out of the
hospital and down town on Friday
looking rather the worse for wear, but
with a whole skin and all together.
A week ago Saturday the doctor was
in the vicinity of Flandreau where he
was rammed by a speeding auto. 1t
was a big car and struck the doctors
Ford about midships. He was picked
up insensible and taken to Flandreau
where DR.. Spafford took him In charge
and phoned DR.. Miller who brought
him to Brookings and placed him in
the hospital. The wonder is that the
doctor was not killed instead of hay
ing a few ribs cracked and a badly
bruised body. The speeder, as usual,
never stopped to see what damage he
had done, but DR.. Engelson has bad
blood in his eye and will make it warm
for the culprit as soon as he Is able
to accomplish something.

4 OF TRADE

The state of trade over the country
reported by Bradstreet's for last week
indicates q~uieter in spots. Labor IN,
rest and price agitation hold back
some buying, but government attitude
on railway strike and sober second
thought Of labor make for more optim-
ism for the long pull. Many strikes
unauthorized are discountenanced by
leaders. Trade good as a whole for
summer season, and should grow with
fall buying. Food lines show most
hesitation. Stock market irregular,
but has firmer tone. Crops spotted,
but corr coming through well. Money
steady. Clearings smaller. Wheat ex.
ports large. General export trade
quieter. Slight increase in failures.

FREE TEXT o

At the last session Of the legislature,
This school year the different districts
all over the state are furnishing free
text books.
The clerk of the school board of the
of education, in each independent dis
trict, ascertains what books are needed
in his district and orders the same from
the County Auditor, who furnishes
the books. The County Auditor charges
the cost of the books to the school dis
trict ordering the same. If more books
are needed from time to time, they
may be obtained from the County Aud
itor. II more books than necessary
are taken to the district, they cannot
be returned. A few extra books are
a good thing.
If the district board so desires,
they may buy back the books previ-
ously used that are in good condition.
The books which are bou ght back must
of course, be the books required now
by the county.
The teacher is the custodian of the
books and must see that they are care
fully handled and preserved in good
condition. Some sort of bookcase with
lock and key must be furnished by
the district wherein they shall keep
the books during vacation.
Any pupil who removes n book from
the school and fails to return it on
destroys the book, shall be required
t. pay for the same or return a new
book in its place.

HOW YOUR TAX
MONEY IS SPENT
SOME DISTRICTS RATES
EXCEED 1916 MILLS
But Is Caused By Vote For Ad.
ditiOnal Levy For School
Purposes

Below is found list of the amounts
asked by the taxing districts of Medi-
ma county for 1919-192O and the
amounts allowed by the Budget Com
mission.
AS before stated, where the amount
asked for was cut by the commission,
it is caused by either the 10 mill or
ID mill limitation land in some in
stances by both limitations.
The total limitation rate for any
taxing districts last year was 1853
mills, while for this year it is 1876
mills. This increase was brought
about by an additional 2 of a mill
for the state. The fact that some
taxing districts have a rate of over
1876 mills was occasioned by the tax
payers voting an additional levy fol
school purposes, though in some
cases where the additional levy was
voted for, the total rate is under the
1916 mill limitation.
