Roads To Philip Are In
Fine Condition

The Press man made trip TO
Philip Monday morning the wheel
of car and it was our first trip
over the graded road all the way
to the north county line, and say
folks, IT sure was some pleasure to
make the drive To our neighbor-
ing town on the north. The roads
from kadoka to the county line
could not be beat even by the pa
we'd streets of the city, and the
fine piece Of work done on them
is certainly "A credit to Highway
Superintendent j. r.. Buckmastcr
and his crew Of road men.
From the north line Of Jackson
county into Philip the roads were
not in as good condition and need
work on them While they are
far from being in extremely bad
condition, they are rough and
need attention. If the Haakon
county officials would grade and
work the roads from Philip 10
their south county line it would
complete a connecting road bet
ween that town and Kadoka that
would be hard to beat anywhere.
The heavy traffic between these
lwo towns demand a good road
and the Haakon county road men
should get busy.

H. B. Cooley, A New
Settler From Iowa,
Praises Country

Monday forenoon III. b. Cooley
was a visitor at the Press office
and during our conversation eXpr
essed his opinion of this country
Mr.. Cooley is one of the new com
crs to this vicinity. having purch,
ased quarter section of land just
north of kadoka and moved into
the place this spring, after having
travelled all over the west part OF
the United States in search of a
new location, and we were inter
csted in knowing just what he
thought of Jackson county as a
place to live and get ahead in the
farming game. For a number of
years Mr. Cooley resided on a farm
near West Union, Iowa, but told
us that he would not give up his
place here and move back there
for any thing in the world.
After moving here last spring
Mr., Cooley got down to work and
put in his crops, and he has some
mighty fine crops too, all his grain
doing fine and the yield is now
assured, and although he has not
rs yet gotten as great amount o.
land under cultivation as he des
Tres he states that he will max,
more clear money for himself from
the crop he has in, than he would
have from his Iowa farm in a per.
iod of four or five years.
In speaking of the Iowa country
he came from Mr.. Cooley was not
in the knocking business, out said
it was as fine country as there
was on earth for the man who
could own his farm clear of incu-
mbrances, but for the man start
ing out in life it was a poor place
as we'll as for the man who had to
rent land, as half Of the crop and
cash rent of five dollars an acre
was demanded for the use of the
land in that state, but out here
in Jackson county il man wan
ted to farm like he would have too
in Iowa, he could in a two or three
year period clear enough off his
land TO pay for the place in cash,
and that he is advising all his fri.
ends of moderate means and also
his friends who are renting Iowa
land, to come out to Jackson cou
nty, buy and own the land they
farm, and each fall when the crop
is harvested tehir earnings of tn,
year will be ALL theirs, and THEN
profit income will be greater than
it would be on the rented or incu-
mbered land of Iowa.
Mr.. Cooley did not come here
with the idea that this was ma
gic country, and that he could sit |
down and wait and become rich |
but realized that it was necessary
for him to get down to work and
labor as hard as he did in Iowa.
and that by doing so his income
and earnings would be all that he |
could ask, and with this idea and
his carrying it into practice it |
wont be but a mighty few years
until he is we'll equipped with mat
erial wealth of the world, and his |
advice to his friends and neigh
bors can be- carried out with pro-
fit To themselves.
Mr.. Cooley is Of the class Of set
tiers that is welcome into any new
country and we are please 4 that
after visiting many sections OF
the United States he decided that
the Kadoka community was the
best Of all and has located in ouI
midst. May his kind continue to
multiply.
