HER "DISTANT" HUSBAND

From Plywood Parels-The following
missive was received by the forest
ranger of the Pasadena district and
read recently at the annual dinner of
the Sierra Club of Los Angeles:

came In. Hugh recognized him at once
as Valance Nestor, an author of great
brilliance-in his own eyes-who had
lately devoted himself to the advance
ment of revolutionary labor.
"Good afternoon" murmured Drum
mOnd, affably. "Mr. Peterson will be a
little late. l am his private secretary"
The other nodded and sat down Ian
guidly.
What did you think Of my last little
effort in the Midlands?" he asked,
drawing off his gloves.

marvellous help to the great cause"
Valance Nestor yawned slightly and
closed his eyes, only to open them
again as Hugh turned the pages of the
ledger on the table.

This Is the book" replied Drum

with alacrity.
"Why, Of course" answered Drum
mOnd. Are you not one of the lead
ers? Here you are" He pointed with
his finger, and then drew back in dis
may. Dear, dear! There must be
some mistake"
But Valance Nestor, with a frozen
and CLASSY eye, was staring fascinated
at the following choice description Of
himself:
"Nestor, Valance. Author-so-called.
Hot-air factory, but useful up to q
point. Inordinately conceited and a
monumental ass. Not fit to be trusted
far"
What" he spluttered ar length, 'is
the meaning of this abominable in
sult?'
But Hugh, his shoulders shaking
slightly, was welcoming the next ar
rival-a rugged, beetle-browed man,
whose face seemed vaguely familiar,
but whose name he was unable to
place.
"Crofter," shouted the Infatuated au-
thor, 'lOok at this as a description Of
me-"
And Hugh watched the man. whom
he now knew to be one of the extrem-
list members Of parliament, walk over
and glance at the book. He saw him
conceal a smile, and then Valance Mes
tor carried the good work on.

Hugh glanced over Crofter's Shout

He just had time to read: "Crofter,

Hugh later, 'is what to do with Carl
and that sweet girl Irma."
The hour for the meeting was draw

idea as to what sort Of a meeting 1t
was going to be, it was obvious that
Peterson would be one Of the happy
throng.

LET'S BE FRIENDS
(To be c~ontinued)

Yankton Press and D~akotan-This
of the college, and the people of the
town.
There is a ~shyness, a half reserve,
which has always kept most of the
students of the college from knowing
and approaching the people of the
town in years gone by, and which has
kept most of the people of the town
from knowing and approaching the
students at the college. This tends
to break down toward the end of each
school year but has to be overcome
at the first of each successive year.
To the students Of the college, the
Press and Dakotan wants to say that
for four years of their lives, more OF
less, they will be- spending three
fourths Of their time in Yankton; that
it Is a live and growing city, and dur
ing their four years here they may
by entering into the activities Of the
town, experience with it many Of the
joys, and many of the trials and trlb-
ulations, that will face the people OF
the communities in which they will
eventually live. There are people Of
differing ideas in every city and town
ship, with whom they must get along
in their after lives and they will bene-
fit by being not entirely without knowl-
edge along this line. 1t will be their
duty, as college men to take a promi-
nent part on the civic life of their
future homes-to lead, according to
their superior opportunities. How to
do this they must learn some time,
and they might as well begin in Yank'
ton while learning other things. Folks
down town are sociable beings, and
would be mighty glad to meet students
some time when they're not selling
tickets, and not buying shoes. The
professional men generally would be
glad to talk as to future careers
doctors to advise and befriend those
who would be doctors, lawyers those
who are considering the law, news
paper men the coming journalists.
Students, they'd like to show you.
TO the people Of the town, the Press
and Dakotan wants to say that the
college students are normal young
human beings, away from home, many
Of them for the first time, and just
feeling their way; but normal human
beings, possessed Of a little more pep
and ambition than most of their fell
lows and giving evidence of it by striv-
ing to equip themselves to be leaders;
they will be the leaders among the
business and professional men, the
town people and the farmers, the poll
ticians and the preachers and the
teachers Of the days to come; that you
have a city here worth while calling
to their attention; that you may be
able to direct the path Of one who
may win fame in his calling, along
the line Of endeavor in which you have
striven and have won success; hat
the students are first learning the
value Of the mass formation, Of co
operation, by the instilling Of college
spirit, and class spirit, and society
spirit and the spirit, which will event
ually develop into civic loyalty and
support: that 0 can learn some les
sons Of cooperation and good feeling
from those students; that they'd like
to know you.

ROADS OR B~ATTlESHIPS

Aberdeen American The Denver
Post is urging the construction by the
government of two highways. one from
New York to San Francisco and the
other from Canada to the gulf. The
idea is to have them built under the
direction Of army engineers.
And how could the country afford to
undertake such expensive projects
at this time? Well, the Post points
out that those roads, well routed and
constructed as solidly as any in the
world, could be built for the price
of four modern battleships. The coun-
try seems to have plenty of money for
battleships. Or at least, congress, like
legislative bodies in other countries,
seems to think so. 1t looks like a
choice between battleships and roads.
The battleships will be obsolete in
ten or fifteen years. The roads. says
the Post. will last forever" The par
ticular pavement that might be built
now would not last forever, but the
route would, and once done, the paw
ing would be renewed as occasion de.
handed, at a cost easily taken care Of
by the added real estate values along
the way. The rise in those same
values would o m or later pay the
original cost, too, in increased taxes.
The project just now would give
employment to hundreds of thousands
of idle men and utilize large Quanti-
ties Of building material, thus tiding
over a hard winter and stimulating
business revival. 1t doesn't sound
foolish at all.

OPPORTUNITY IN PUREBREDS

or the 555, 979 dairy cattle in South
Dakota, only SPAS, or less than n
in a hundred, are pure bred, accord
ing to the 1920 census. or the beef
cattle on farms in the state nearly
3h per cent are p%urebreds. or all
the cattle in the United States, ex-
actly 3 per cent are p%urebreds. This
gives some idea Of the situation as
regards the number of pure bred dairy
cattle in the state.
"Purebreds represent a higher pro-
ducing and more profitable class OF
cattle than do grades or scrubs" says
Horace M. Jones, extension dairy spc-
cialist at State college, in comment
ing on these figures. when South
Dakota reports from S to 10 per cent
OF her dairy cattle as purebreds, her
dairy industry will be on a higher
plane. The man who starts now to
acquire a herd of pure bred dairy cat
tie is the man who will be Independent

Let a farmer secure n Or two good
foundation cows and build a herd from
their progeny. This is a slower but
a safer way in which to get a start
in purebreds. In view Of the com
paratively few purebred dairy cattle
already in South Dakota, this phase
Of farming offers unlimited opportu-
nifty to those who will undertake 1t
in a progressive way"

as the state Industrial commission,
is in an embarrassing position.
Under the law a strike is illegal
unless the commission is given a
3O-days' notice. The Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, a Rockefeller
unit cut wages and these miners
struck. The commission ordered
district attorneys to start criminal
proceedings against the miners, but
the order has not been obeyed.
The commission then took a
chance with butcher workmen, who
are striking against a wage cut &C
Cepted by the packers company

Tim McCreash, Dan Mullen and Gill;

president and local secretary, respec-

command the butcher workmen to
return to work. The union officials
refused to obey the order and in
formed the commission that they
were ready to go to Jail.

commission that if their officials go
