The Buffalo Gap Fair the first three
days OF this week was great success il
every way. The exhibits Of all kinds
we're hne and the program for the three
days was good. There was something
doing every minute. The music furn
ished by the Link Dunn orchestra oil
Lincoln, Neb., added greatly to the
three days entertainment. The ball
games played during the three DAYS
were good The speed contests, novelty
races, rough riding contests each day
were very interesting and exciting. The
Custer community was well represented
on Tuesday at the fair, which was one
Of the best ever given in the southern
Hills.

THE SUN DO MOVE.

The old home doesn't look the same
any more 1t is changed. 1t is di fer.
ent and Mr.. Harney, himself, hardly
recognizes it, All the lumber for the
new observatory has been burroed up
and raised to the summit by block and
tackle. The old observatory is torn
down and the Peak has been trimmed
off to quite large extent in order to ac-
commodate the sixteen by sixteen build
ing. The new foundation, after many
days of strenuous work, much cement and
heaps of loud profanity, is in place, and
work has now begun on the new struc
ture. We are to live on the top when
this new building is finished, so in a
couple more weeks look for our light
atop the Peak each night, except when
we run out Of candles.

dred Per Day

Pierre, 5. b., sept. 10. Claims for
soldiers compensation are being exam
ined by the state bonus board here at
the rate Of 200 week or 200 day, ac-
cording to figures by Col Fred b. Ray,
executive officer of the board, from
Chief Clerk Il NJ. Whisman. With
every member Of the staff now familiar
with his or her duties, the board is OPP
Grating with nearly perfect smoothness
and regularity.
AT the close Of business on September
10th a total of $500 claims had been ex-
amined by the board as against 200
for the week previous. On Septembe

The opinion of Col Ray. The cleanup
is going to take many months but will
be accomplished fully as soon as had
been anticipated.

MARKETING PLAN
Speaker Thinks in Time Livestock Ship
ping Will be Done by Local
Associations

The marketing problem of livestock
farmers will be greatly improved by or
ganizing and strengthening local live
stock shipping associations and the ere
ating of cooperative commission com
panies in the central markets according
to w. A. McKerrow, member of the
American Farm Bureau livestock mar
keting committee of IS, Who spoke in
Huron at the State Fair In the farm
bureau tent last week
Mr.. McKerrow explained the work Of
the Central Cooperative Commission
Association, which opened offices in
South st. Pau on august SOh This or
ganization has as members about 300
local livestock shipping associations in
the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas la the first week it hand
led more livestock than any other com
mission firm in that market, and last
week about three times more business
than that Of any other firm.
1t has been doing this business, he
said with 25 per cent reduction in com
mission charges and has been laying up
surplus Of 70 per cent The years
business should represent saving OF
$4,000 to the shippers above the ordin-
ary commissions usually charged. This
scheme will fit in directly with that rec.
commended by the committee of 10.

ON BOARD HARVEY PEAK
! Earl II. EmmOns, Guard U. S. Forest Service
QUIEN sABEp

Mr.. Z. I. Pierce A few days ago we
left our aerial on old man Harney' s
Peak and went to Sylvan Lake to get
some supplies, the tourists having done
ct up everything We had, and while we
waited for the wagon to come out we
looked oyer the week S product Of pub
lie opinion as moulded by the scribes of
the Hills and in one of the sheets we
found one of your Old Time Trail stories.
Doe, and we sat down there on the edge
of the Lake and read it.
Now, Doc, we have read a lot Of your
stuff before, in papers and magazines,
and we have read much about YOU in
histories and the Campfire Of Adven-
ture where all good fellows get together,
but none Of it made Us think as did that
little yarn We read beside the trail the
other day on the shores of Sylvan Lake.
You remember, Doc, you were talking
of the old timers who have taken the
last long trail and we got to thinking
and you know, Doc, just as soon as we
open our eyes and let off our first yell
we start on our journey toward the set
ting sun and none Of US is as young as
We once were and when we read what
you wrote we thought what a shame it
is that so many Of those who did real
things have passed out without the
world knowing much about them.
Now Doc, we don't want to scare YOU,
but you know how short is life and If
you'll excuse as, you amt so dog g-goned
young yourself as you used to be, Doc,
and so we thought we would ask you
something. We ask you this because OF
all those who took part in the roaring
days of Seventy-six there are none left
who can swing such a wicked pen az
yourself and what we wanted to ask you
is this: Don't you think that now while
you are in your prime and remember all
these things, don't you think it would
be fine thing to collect all of your Old
Time Trail stuff into permanent form
between two book covers 50 that poster.
ity might know from first hand?
And Doc, if you decide to do this you
can consider half dozen copies sold to
us already.

WASTE OF MONEY ON HIGHWAYS.

WASTE OF MONEY ON hlG w AH ,.
There is a growing sentiment over the
state that it is reckless waste Of money
to construct an expensive highway and
then neglect it by not properly dragging
letting it 90 to ruin for want Of atten-
ton. There are too many instances Of
this kind There is now modern ma
chnery for keeping highways in order,
without great expense, if they have once
been well constructed The little road
smoother that is propelled by its own
power, where the driver manipulates it
like a man running an ordinary cultiva
tor, which gets over the road at the rate
of ten or twelve miles an hour, is the
kind that will maintain highway at a
nominal expense. The Sioux Falls Ar
gus Leader makes the follow ing refer
ence to giving better care to highways:
''In the matter Of good roads, the really
important thing is care after the road is
built. II is waste Of money 10 grade a
road and put in costly bridges and cul
yerts only TO permit the road to become
full Of ruts and chuck holes. Nor is it
fair to the state and the federal govern
meut to allow a road that cost a lot Of
money TO 90 by default for lack of care
Our own idea is that if we have not
money enough to build new roads and
drag and properly keep up the roads We

TWO FACTORS AFFECTING
DAKOTA FARM PROT

DAKOTA FARM PROFITS
"The keeping Of high producing live.
stock and the securing Of a reasonably
large gross income while keeping down
cash expenses are two factors that dir
ectly affect farm products in South Da
kota, says II d. Mccullough, in charge
of farm management demonstrations OF
the State College extension service, who
is engaged in making a study of farm.
in various parts of the state to determine
the causes Of success or failure.
"The year 1920 was a discouraging
one for farmers, says Mr. Mccullough.
In one study, including 45 farms in
Lawrence county the II best farms
showed profit of $3.50 while the II
poorest farms showed an average loss of
S3, S97.
Last year was characterized by fall
ing prices and adverse conditions. Many
of the farms that showed a loss were so
well organized and operated that in any
ordinary year they would have made
good profit for their owners Also, the
lower inventory at the end OF the year
often turned seeming profit into a loss
For instance, man who had 100 tons of
hay on hand at the beginning and also
at the end Of the year lost 81 600 because
hay was worth $50 a ton in 1919 and
only $40 in 1920.
"In spite of the above facts there are
certain reasons why some farms made a
satisfactory income while others failed.
"The gross income on the best paying
farms vas S., 596, which was five times
that of the poorer farms. The percent
age of cash operating expenses to gross
income was 40 per cent. higher on the
least profitable farms.
"The more profitable farms secured
return of S5277 per animal unit of live
stock This was five times as much as
was secured by the less profitable farms.
An animal unit is considered as one
horse or COW, two colts or calves, five
hogs, seven sheep, or 100 chickens)'

throughout and it all was done on paper.
And while we have the greatest sym.
pathy for all those afflicted in any way,
yet it was distinct relief to entertain a
deaf mute for once and not have our
ears outraged by a half million fcol
questions. When one has to talk by
pencil and paper one is likely to think
beforehand and of course ifpeople stop
ped to think before they talked there
would be much less damn foolishness in
this world and we told Mr.. Mills how
we felt about it and he laughed and re-
piled he appreciated our position. Come
again, silent friend.

SOUTH DAKOTA's NEW
COURT OF SMALL CLAIM


Pierre, ;. D., Sept. 2l-To get the
different officials who are to assist in
duplication of the new court Of small
claims properly informed as to their du-
ties, the supreme court has had printed
a number Of copies Of the rules and reg
ulatous governing their work in these
courts, which will become effective Jan
uary lst 1922 Officials of the different
counties of the state are being supplied
with copies of the law and the rules,
with request to know how many copies
will be required to supply the different
officers who will have duties to perform
under this law.
1t is believed that when this law is
put into operation it will remove from
the circuit court many cases which now
get upon the calendars, and will not
only relieve the pressure on court dock
cts, but will also reduce cost oil operation
of the courts. These cases can be
brought before any municipal Judge,
county judge or justice of the peace with
out any further procedure than that of
the claimant in a smal! claim presenting
his case in person to such official and
paying fee of Sl00 Each of the par.
ties interested represent himself at the
hearing and tell his own story as to the
situation, aud judgment will be render
ed accordingly.
