BRIDGE QUESTION UP

Governor Norbeck and An
drew Marvick, head of the state
highway commission, last week
made an inspection trip over
some of the trunk highways
west of the river. While out
they also looked over the brid-
ge possibilities on the Cheyenne
river. At the present time there
is not a bridge crossing on this
stream from it's mouth to Wasta
where the first crossing is To-
Gated. Before there can be par
ctical north and south highway
across the western part of the
state a bridge must be con-
structed at some place to cross
this stream, and while several
sites have been proposed, no ac-
tion has been taken. The river
fixes county boundary lines all
along it's course practically as
far as Wasta, and it is hard to
get joint action by counties.

A NEAR TRAGEDY
AT X. r. CROSSING

Fort Pierre Times: Failing
to see the freight train ap-
preaching from the west until
within twenty feet of the track,
Roy Chisholm undoubtedly owes
his own life and that of his
little son to his presence of
mind Tuesday evening when, in
stead of trying to stop or turn
aside, he added speed to his
Ford and succeeded in getting
far enough across the track so
that when the locomotive crash
ed into the car it struck at the
rear door, far enough back to
throw it clear of the track. The
auto was turned completely over
twcie, Mr.. Chisholm thrown
clear, and Paul, his four year
old son, who had been occupying
the back seat, was picked up un-
der the car having received Sc
veral minor cuts and scratches
about the head and face. Mr..
Chisholm was quite badly bruis-
ed up, though not seriously, and
the car was badly wrecked.

DROWNING SOUTH
OF FORT PIERRE

: Fort Pierre Times: When
the water-tank, in which James
A. Pipes and his, step-son were
navigating in the Tyler dam,
sprung leak late Monday night
twenty-five miles south of Fort
Pierre, Mr.. Pipes jumped into
the water with the boy and
when assistance reached them
he was badly choked, but upon
the boy being taken into the
boat, he struck out to swim for
shore and after a few strokes
sank to the bottom and the
body was not recovered for two
hours.
This is a very sad happening,
the taking off so suddenly of a
man in the prime of life, recent
ly married and with everything
to live for, and the entire COM
munity joins in extending con-
dolences to the grief stricken
widow.

CLEAN UP-STOP SPEEDING

G. A. Bradley, who has been
named as city general manager,
asks us to call the attention of
the people of Philip to the condi-
tion of back yards and alleys,
and that prompt attention
should be given to cleaning up
the unsightly places. Fair time
is near at hand and all parts of
the city should present a neat
appearance to our visitors.
Mr.. Bradley also states that
speeding on the city streets
must stop. There are a few auto
drivers who seem to look upon
our streets as speedways, and
it is a great wonder that there
has not been fatal accident be-
fore this. He wishes to give all
due warning, which if not heed
ed will result in arrests.

Stone and brick masons have
been secured by the contractors
on the new First State Bank
building. and the walls are now
going up. AS the work progress
es the beauty Of the structure is
being unfolded. 1t is going to be
the finest building of the kind
outside of the big cities of the
Hills in the western part of the
state. Finely carved Bedford
stone, lined with brick, forms
the walls facing the street. Seve-
raj stately columns adorn the
Center street front. The ceiling
OF the banking room will be
eighteen feet high and well
lighted. It is the finest single i'm
provement ever made TO the

Many local people went to Cot
tonwood Monday, to assist the
folks there in celebrating the
anniversary of the founding of
the town. Amusements galore
were in evidence, a good natured
crowd was in attendance and
everything was pulled off in good
shape.
The Fort Pierre aviators were
present and put on an exhibition
of stunt flying far superior to
anything that has heretofore
been witnessed in western South
Dakota. A score or more of peo-
pie took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to get the thrill of an
alrplane ride. DIR. Fitzgerald, r.
+. Robinson and several others
from Philip could not wait until
the Haakon county fair but took
their rides Monday, and say they
are going up again when the
aviators come here week after
next.
One of the main attractions of
the celebration was the ball
game between the Interior and
Grindstone teams. A number of
Philip players wore the Grind
stone suits that day. The game
was a thrilling one, heartbreak-
ing for the supporters of the
Grindstone team, for Interior
won on a bum throw from third
to first base, getting in the lone
score of the game. Dickinson for
Grindstone and Smith for In
terror were. imported pitchers
from the fast Hills teams for the
occasion, and it was a yeritable
pitchers battle.
The question of the potato
supply of the state for this year

PROMISING OUT
LOOK FOR FAIR

Plans are nearing completion
for the great Haakon coun
ty fair, which will be in full sw.
ing two weeks from today. The
county grading crew has put the
race track in fine condition, and
the new livestock sheds are ra-
|pidly nearing completion. All of
the amusement events promise
to be well filled with entries. A
baseball tournament with games
for every day has been schedul-
ed. Band music each day, dane
ing, motion picture shows and
other amusements for the even
ing must be considered among
the features.
The agricultural and commu-
nifty exhibits should be large and
of good quality this year. The
usual interest in the woman's
ssld school departments will be
in evidence. The club contests
VIII add greatly to the interest
in the fair. f
You can't afford to miss the
county fair this year. 1t is the
first ever conducted in this Sec
tion under strict county supervi-
sion and the commissioners and
farm bureau directors are spar
ing no pains to make it a real
fair. All roads lead to Philip Sep
tember End, Sd and 4th.

PRAIRIE FIRE NEAR SMITH

A prairie fire near Smith post
office Friday burned over about
ten sections of hay land. Ernest
Clements lost a small stack of
hay that had just been put up. A
number of local people went out
and helped the citizens of that
neighborhood in putting out the
fire, which is said to have start
ed from a lighted cigarette butt
thrown into the grass by a hay
maker.

SAWMILL TO
BREAK FAMINE

Alf Burkholder, the well
known correspondent, gets off
the following good one in the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader:
Efforts on the part of some
of the "high brow" administra-
ton officials at Washington to
create the impression that only
by the prompt ratification of
the peace treaty and the league
of nations covenant can food
prices be lowered, reminds me
of a standard story current a.
mong the mixed-blood and 9TH
er educated Sioux of the Pine
Ridge reservation, designed to
show the inefficiency of the In
dian bureau as conducted in the
old days. The story goes that
the Pine Ridge Sioux were
starving, and Red Cloud the
venerable chief, sent a repres-
entative to Washington to Sc
cure food for his tribesmen at
the earliest possible date. Time
rolled on, without the food be-
ing received or any encourag-
ing word from the representa-
tive sent to Washington. Red
Cloud finally sent his represen-
tative a hurryup telegram, and
received this reply: Cheer up,
Red Cloud, / am coming with a
sawmill." -..

The war department has
changed the plans for a nation
al guard organization for this
state, and will allow the forma-

stead of one of infantry. This
is in response to action taken by
leading military men of the
state. In this way it is hoped to
perpetuate the 147th Field Ar

KIDS ARE SLUGGERS
Bat their way to top in game
with Quinn Lads Sunday

| The Philip junior base bal
club rolled out of their hunks
early Sunday morning and spent
a couple of hours waiting for the
west bound passenger. Catching
the flier at Quinn, they were
greeted there by a half dozen
husky lads of their own size and
escorted to the popular hostelry
the Quinn hotel.
The lads on both mines were
full of pep and bantered each
other freely but all in good hu-
mored vain. The game was call
ed at 2:30 exactly and the pro-
mptness of it caught few
Quinn boosters unawares so that
they did not reach the grounds
until the game was we'll under
way. The crowd soon gathered
and lusty applause greeted every
stop, peg and clout.
For Philip the battery was Val
lard Hendricks twirler and
doc" Minard backstop. big
pitch" Hendricks was in fair
form and at first held his op-
ponents safely for three innings
while his sluggers got away to
a fine start and amassed a total
of six runs while Quinn gather
ed one lone tally. The kids had
been watching the big boys so
many games of late that they
naturally had to blow up for q
while, SO the fireworks were
touched off in the sixth frame
and in scampered enough Quin-
mites to even up the score at 6
to 6.
About this time Red" Dona-
hue clouted a long one to deep
center and circled the bases be-
fore they could get the ball on
him. Quinn evened up the score
in their half.
In the next Cleave Daniels
and Pete Mueller next scamper-
ed around the sacks with a tally
each and the Quinn lads filled
the sacks in their half, where
they expired due to clever field
ing by Cecil Swisher and John
ME Johnson at second and first
base respectively.
Fine work on the part of the
Quinn pitcher, assisted by his
second sacker blanked the To-
calls in the first half of the ninth
but they were content with their
two run lead until Quinn sque-
ezed in run and had runner
on second and third with only
one man out. Things began to
look serious again but the To-
calls were equal to the task and
copped off two. easy outs and the
game.
1t was some game and not one
word of rag chewing. The
Quinn lads were good sports and
took the defeat without a mur-
mur but defantly handed out
the warning; Better watch out
for us next time for we are 60
ing to practice. Arrangements
have been made for the same
teams to play at the big fair
here on the opening day at 80
p. m. sharp, when a large follow
ing of Quinn boosters will be
on hand to cheer their lads and
you will get some real thrills if
you turn out and watch 'em

You Might Not Be Missed

My friend, don't become too
puffed up. Take a quiet walk
through the village cemetery
any day. On a neglected lot you
will likely find a small tombstone
and on it inscribed the name Of
the man who in his hey days
was the whole works in town.
Nobody even moved without
consulting him. He ran the lod-
ge, the church and pol;tics of
the hamlet. He was "IT" in big
brass letters. But time gathered
him in and before the grass grew
green on his grave he was for
gotten by all excer. his immedi-
ate family. The tom ran on just
the same AMI there was 20
