Making money by establishing
motor lines for the transporta-
ton Of passengers and freight
presents to-day one Of the best
fields of opportunity for the man
with a little capital at his dis
posal, in the opinion Of the Unit
ed States Tire Company.
The developement of lines Of
this sort between towns and cit
les has only just begun, and is
certain to grow tremendously In
the next few years. The oppsrt-
.unities are especially good in
sections where railroad service is
not good. But even in parts Of
the country where the railroad
schedules are the best, auto lines
are doing a good business haul
ing freight.
The perfecting Of the large
pneumatic tires of the United
States Tire Company has been
one of the most important steps
in making this development pos
sible. Big vehicles are neces-
sary to carry heavy loads Of pas
sengers or freight, and the big
pneumatics make it possible for
trucks and large buses to trave
between towns at a speed anc
with a comfort unobtainable on
solid tires.
Passengers can be carried ovei
long distances with as little jar
as in a limousine, while fragile
commodities, such as eggs, car
be hurried to market with littl,
danger of damage. incidentally
the cars can beoperated at muct
less expense on pneumatics than
on solids.

FARMERS JOB NEXT YEAR
WILL Be BIGGEST EVER

The farmers of America will have
a bigger program OF work next season
than ever before in spite of the fact
that the great wal is over. The
Food Administration at Washington
announces that we must ship 1850
600 tons Of foodstuffs to our Allies
next year as against l~1,820,000 tons
last year, an increase OF more than
forty-eight per cent. This does not
include the other extra demands that
will be made upon this country by
a hungry world. This will be a
gigantic task.
Some persons believe that our
farms nearly reached their limit last
year. Will they produce more next
year? Can they do It?
The farmers r answering en-
p~hatically, Yes" In order to bring
this desired result will require the
best effort of organized farming. The
strongest agency for putting across
Uncle Sans big food program OF the
coming year will be the farm bureau.

shown the value Of organization In
the placing Of labor. In securing good

Obituary
Mrs. Il. ID. LeysOn

Leila Eleanor Edwards was born
January 3, 1880 at Arena, Iowa County
Wisconsin. Her mother, Katherine
Edwards, preceded her in death many
years ago. Her father Mr.. Z. o. Ed
wards survives her and was given the
great boon of being at her bedside at
death
In early womanhood she devoted
herself to teaching in the public
schools in her native county. To say
devoted" expresses her whole life. 1t
was a devotion.
On June 2S, 1903. she was united in
marriage to Mr.. e. ID. Leyson. To this
union was born one on, Dwight, who
remains to companion and comfort his
father. All of her married life was
spent in Miller. South Dakota except
fifteen months during which the fam
lily lived in Spokane, Washington.
The other immediate members of the
family who are left to mourn her loss
are sisters, Mrs. A F. Churchill of
washington, South Dakota, Mrs. Jas
per r. Bon Durant of Dodgeville, Wis
cOnsin, and Miss Adeline Edwards,
who up to the time of her sisters ill
ness was teaching in the schools of
MarshalltOwn, Iowa. Miss Edwards
has given up her teaching and will
make her home in Miller and will be a
mother to her sisters child.
Mrs. LeysOn became a christian
while a little girl and joined the Pres
byterian church of her native city. At
marriage she transferred her member
ship to the Presbyterian church of
Miller. She was there always a con-
sistent and faithful member. Her a.
~tivities we're in numerous departments
Of the church. She was always at the
forefront in the activities of the Ladies
Aid Society. Up to the time of her
girls in the Sunday School
The deceased was always a leading
spirit in the Eastern Star and was
from her first connection with the or
der an officer. Socially she vas al
ways the most acceptable, for she was
ever in perfect self-command and gave
herself to the entertainment of her
friends. Her browning work of pa
triotic service was done in the Red
Cross Society. Here she labored most
indefatigibly, even beyond her strength
So she did her part well in religion,
society, patriotism and in social SER
vice.
But the acme OF her devotion was
in her home. There was always order
and beauty. There was a real home
because she was mistress of it. The
sweet spirit of Christ radiated from It.
And the aroma of that life will be long
in passing away. The occupants of
that home are even now breathing the
charm of it.

FARM BUREAUS WILL
FEATURE WOMEN'S WORK

More than 500 farm women's
meetings were held last year in South
Dakota as part of the home demon
stration program of farm bureau
work. Eleven home demonstration
agents were at work in the field, be-
ginning in June, each woman cover
ing a district OF three or four
counties Nineteen training classes
were held, and the volunteer work
ers thus trained gave 301 demonstra-
lions at special meetings, featuring
food preservation, wheat substitutes
and sugar saving. Nearly 400 900
quarts OF fruit and vegetables were
canned as a result of these demon
STATIONS.
In addition to public meetings. the
home demonstration agents made 781
home visits where individual prob
lens were considered. 1t is planned
in the future to confine the work OF
the home demonstration agent to
one county only for more thoro or
g~anization in the farm bureau among
the women. The statewide member
ship drive on December 9 to IA will
have a direct bearing upon this pro-
ject.

FARM BUREAU CONDUCTS
STATE MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

South Dakota farm bureaus will
conduct a statewide drive during the
week OF December 9 to IA for the
purpose OF increasing the member
ship to at least $4,000. The total
membership for the state is now TO-
67S. Farmers who are DESTROYS OF
making their work count for the most
in the ste te and national food pro-
duction and conservation program
will be urged to join their county
farm bureaus for greater cooperative
and organized effort. The South Da-
kota farm bureau membership drive
is similar to drives being put on in
other states thruout the country to
help speed up production. This de-
sirable result has been accomplished
during the past year in counties elm
ploying agents.

South Dakota farm bureaus or
ganized 81 livestock shipping asso-
Citations to enable smaller producers
and feeders to cooperate in shipping
in carload lots, and organized seven
county purebred livestock breeders
associations for the purpose OF de
yeloping livestock interest and the
holding OF county sales. County
agents have helped with the estab-
lishment OF an exchange at the
bureau office, in securing purebred
stock for farmers, in establishing
special livestock days in the county,
in organizing boys livestock clubs
and in working out balanced rations
for feeding.
Farm bureaus have been OF norm
Gus service In the location and pre-
vention OF animal disease. The
bureaus have distributed S6,33S
doses Of government blackleg vaccine
during the year; 1864 cattle have
been vaccinated for anthrax upon
the agents suggestion; ABBA hogs
have been vaccinated against hog
cholera; 3,497 animals have been
treated for hemorrhagic ~septicemia,
the necessary precautions have been
taken in herds infected with NEGRO
baccilosis affecting $3.50 animals;
2.664 animals were dipped for lice,
and an outbreak Of scabbies was
cleaned up in three counties, 1896

The farm bureaus do not expect
their agents to do veterinary work
but insist upon the agent notifying
the farmers of a community when a
contagious animal disease outbreak
occurs there, and then conducting a
community campaign for thorough
disinfection and the use OF sanitary
measures.
