COUNTY MIGHT BUILD
PERMANENT ROAD
COMMISSIONERS BELIEVE BET.
TER RESULTS INDEPENDENT
OF FEDERAL AID

The board of county commissions
ers contemplate the purchase of a
track layer and grader from Custer
county for the purpose Of building
permanent roads in this county with
the issue of $4,000 road bonds.
Should such action be taken the
county would act independently OF
the state highway commission and
without complying with prescribed
specifications would not receive the
federal aid Of like sum
However, investigation of the dif.
ference in the costs might more than
Justify the commissioners to pursua
such proposed course. 1t develops
that the graveled road out of Miles
City was built by Custer county at
an expense of 81 1875 per mile while
under state and government jurisdic-
tion the cost would have been five or
SIX times as much. meaning that FIVE
or six miles or permanent road could
be built by the county to one milo
under the state supervision. While
roads under state and federal SUPER
vision perhaps have lesser grades and
deeper foundation, it is believed
much money is. needlessly expended
in overhead expense that would be
curtailed under county supervision.
And again should the road bonds De
sold and work commenced under
state supervision the money to E.
nance the project would be deposited
in outside banks. in a measure dis
eliminating against local institu.
tions.
The commissioners want an ex-
preston of opinion from the coun-
tvs people in regard to this proposi.
ton before definite action is taken

CHURCH GOES ON
BUSINESS BASIS
BIsOADCS TO MAINTAIN CHURCH
OTHER COMMUNITIES SERVED
UPON SPECIAL REQUEST

Arrangements We're made Wednes-
day night in meeting OF the towns
people at the Powder River hotel to
place the Broadus Community church
on business basis and thus insure
its permanency and the retention of
Rev. H. X. Waters as the local min
lister.
In the future Mr.. Waters will de-
vote his entire time to the Broadus
church work except such appoint
ments from outlying districts that
may be requested from him for mid
week services, marriage or funeral
ceremonies when they will be expect
ed to meet his entire expenses.
In. order to perpetuate the church
work tsarted in Broadus last sum-
mer it was necessary for local citi-
zens to subscribe monthly pledges Of
certain amount and the sum thus
promised is satisfactory to Mr.. Wa
ters.
One OF the largest items of ex-
pense for the minister has been elm
mated by the above arrangements,
referring to the maintenance and re-
pair OF the Congregations service
car. This machine has been the
object OF Mr.. Waters time and at
tention and a considerable expense,
and dispensing with it's use will be
a forward step in retrenchment Of
finances and ii greater efficiency in
the work of the minister.

Survey Road To
Pumpkin Greek

The board of county commission
crs at their meeting this week or
dered the road surveyed from Epsie
to the Sand Creek school house
where connections are made with the
main road leading to Broadus. Last
fall the road was ordered surveyed
from Pumpkin creek to Epsie and as
this work was delayed County Sur
yeyor Funkenbusch will lay out the
two surveys at the same time. 1t is
understood that rights Of way have
been secured covering nearly the en-
tire stretch OF about 20 miles. In
the past to traverse this road in some
places little more than trail meant
opening and closing about 2s gates.
This road when thrown open to traf-
fic will provide a shorter route from
Pumpkin creek to Broadus and will
he extensively used.
There Was no action taken at the
session Just closed toward disposing
the county warrants for funding
bonds.

"DOe' POISON
SOON AVAILABLE
&i85 APPROPRIATED BY COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS FOR POISON
Oats no BE PROVIDED

The board Of county commission
ers at its regular monthly meeting
this week appropriated $1S5 for the
purchase OF strychnine to be mixed
with oats to serve as poisonous
bait for prairie dogs and sold to the
farmers and ranchers at cost.
The strychnine has been ordered
from wholesale house and will un-
doubtedly be delivered here within
weeks time. It will be incumbent
upon the farmers and stockmen to
provide the oats and these must be
Of good, clean grade. Wheat is
not used in preparation of the bait"
for precautionary purposes.
The warehouse near the court
house will be used as storage room
Tor the oats and i, is hoped suf-
ticient quantity will be on hand to
enable the expert from Bozeman to
proceed with the mixing demonstra-
tion when he arrives here. Each
farmer and rancher desiring prairie
dog bait is requested to bring their
oats to the warehouse, labelling the
StSAS Will lllC CDlCCt WClS.uJ anu
their names. About 1850 pounds Of
good clean oats will be needed for
the bait. 1t might be good idea
for those wishing prairie dog bait to
Immediately ask for ailotments, max
ing the estimate as low as possible
so that the bait will be distributed
to the many instead of the few. 1t
is believed that taere is yet time
to do much good work in exterminat-
ing the prairie dogs before other
feed becomes plentiful.
B. Cain of Broadus was designat-
ed by the commissioners to take
charge of the prairie dog eXtermin-
alton work and all inquiries should
be addressed to him. He will not
make trips on this campaign
1t is to be hoped that everyone
residing in districts infested with
these prairie dog pests will do his
share in starting the determination
program this spring.

THE JAZZ ROAD TO RUIN
Chicago Tribune

The Illinois Vigilance Association through its
superintendent, the Rev. Philip Iarrow, las is,
sued preliminary report immortality in Chi
cago in which it attributes the downfall of 1000
girls to the evil influence of jazz music and i'm
proper dancing which it encourages. The as
ISOLATION purposes crusade through the Morals
court against such music and dancing.
There is something in what the association
says. but not everything. We have doubt that
jazz music in unrestricted environment tends to
stimulate improper dancing and thereby quickens
the steps OF its deyotees toward downfall. TO that
extent it is evil and may properly be discour-
aged.
But in, the report OF the association there is
again evident the now common tendency to bring
about moral reform by statute rather than by a
quickening Of the moral sense through precept
and example The report devotes hundreds of
words TO depicting the terrible ruin wrought by
Jazz, and is satisfied with paragraph suggesting
that parents churches and schools learn of the
evil and act against it. Not a line in the re-
port before us emphasizes the need OF parents
teaching their children the advantages of moral
ity and high character in themselves. In the final
accounting the responsibility does lie with the
parents. If they teach their children good NOR
interests and recreations the jazz dance hall will
not lure them to ruin and eventually will die of
inanition.
But the Viligance Association overlooks this
point in its eagerness for reform by force 1t is
easier and more spectacular to attack something
against which prohibitory law may be asked
than to attack lazy Indifferent and incapable par
ents in their homes
Perhaps the association is right Perhaps event
ually with the aid of DR.. Crafts and other asso-
ciates, ii will be able to remove all evil and all
temptation from the world by law. Then no one
can 90 10 ruin, whether child or adult There
will be no need even for parents, except to pro-
duce children. Parental instruction and home life
can he eliminated except for the entertainment
they afford because moral principles will be
necessary in 4 world in which no wrong can
be done.
IN the meantime it is our guess that parents
can do more to keep their children decent than
all the laws ever conceived by man and re-.
former.

It's Sergeant Jack

In the World War from the start
until the finish Sergeant-which alb
breviated in English appears as Sit
John Leonard OF IA Vandever ave-
nue. was brought back to the days
he spent in the Army Of Great Brit
ain on various fronts as a member
OF the Royal Highlanders when he
received in the mail a bronze and
silver medal from the British gov
ernment and a battalion croix dc
guerre certificate from the French
government.
Enlisting as soon as war was de-
clared Leonard worked his way from
private TO sergeant OF the 9Th Bat
TALON Of the famous regiment. Al
together he was in the service for
FIVE years and ten days being de-
modified on November IL, 1919, a
year after the armistice was signed.
He is a native OF Dundee. Scotland.
and came TO, Wilmington in January.
1920. Leonard has several rela-
tives here and has made a host Of
friends since his arrival through his
ready Scotch wit and wonderful per-
sonality.
Among the many battles in which
he participated was the first battle
Of the Marne during which engage
ment he was on duty for ten days
and ten nights. He was also at
Cambria where his battalion won the
croix de guerre for its gallant stand
Leonard went into the service
with many boys from his home
heath and many OF them did not re-
turn. He himself was wounded
twice but managed to come through
at the end in good shape. The
bronze medal which he received IS
known as the Allied Medal and the
silver medal is known as the Great
Britain Victory Medal.
In private life Leonard is quite
