OF their birthright, the possession OF

more severe judgment than the poor
souls whom they have led astray need
hardly be mentioned.

No More Loans In
Court House Fund

The County Commissioners have
taken the first preliminary steps to-
wards meeting the necessity Of a new
court house for Hand County. At a
recent meeting they decided to make
no more loans from the court house
fund, which o amounts to about
Sos, 900. AS these loans mature re-
newals will be transferred to loans
in the state school money, SO that no
one may be Inconvenience.
AS il will take some time to get
everything ready it is necessary to
pick up the various points and have
them out of the way when actual
building begins.
Under the state law a favorable vote
of the county is necessary for the
Commissioners to expend this court
house fund for the building of q court
house. That preliminary should be
attended to in the near future. 1t is
perhaps only a formality. as the fund
and interest will be ample to pay for
the court house by the time II is fin
ished.
Quarters for the county business
must also be secured while building,
and this should be arranged for a
year before needed.
1t will also require time to decide
upon and secure plans for the build
ing. But as this is Hand County's
biggest enterprise, it should be care
fully studied by the county officers,
and the best possible results obtained
for the money.
All our n~cishboring counties have
modern court houses. built by bond
ing. Beadle county has just began
work upon a 100000 building. Hyde
end FauIk also bonded for court
houses. Hand county's plan will have
no bonds or interest to pay. which will
certainly be better than the plan OF
her n~eighbors, who will have to pay
interest charges for many years.

DANGER OF GIVING SCANDAL

An ugly manifestation in the social
life of today are those manifold agen-
cies of evil whereby souls are corrupt
ed. Amusements are very often com
mercialized," and have become SO
many pitfalls for the young and un-
wary. The movies, the public dance
hall, the poolroom, the theater. the
summer garden, the excursion steam
err, the skating rink, have become the
stanping-ground for the helpers of the
spirit Of evil.
These occasions OF sin may perhaps
be avoided by those desirious OF saw
ing their souls. But there is another
danger thrust upon them-a danger
which they cannot SO readily avoid.
This is the contamination spread
about them by those whose talk is
evil, whose only way of being smart
Is to tell a foul story or to use lewd
language. In the office and shop and
factory a stream Of filthy speech pours
from polluted lips and corrupted
hearts. And, unfortunately many an
innocent soul is tainted by the pollut-
ed atmosphere.
Now in scriptural language those
| who are the occasion of sin to another
person, are guilty OF scandal" they
are the cause of his spiritual downfall
| and ruin. They are doing the dem.
| on's dirty work.
Our Lord tells us in st. Matthew
! Gospel (ch. IS, verse Sill that dread
full punishments await the person
that shall s~candalize one OF thes'
little ones that believe In me-" III
says that ut were peter that a mill
stone should be hanged about hi

stump against George Egan Tuesda,
night at Centerville where he made tn,
opening speech OF the campaign befor,
a large audience.
While the overnor has done som,
desultory speaking in the past few
weeks the Centerville meeting marked
the actual start of the Governors cam
paign. The same day the governor
spoke at Beresford, on Wednesday Al
Hurley and Parker, and on Thursday
at Marion and Bridgewater.
Friday Governor McMasters speaks
at Memo and Springfield closing the
week Saturday with a talk al Elk
Point.
George w. Wright, state chairman
today announced the Governors itin-
erary for the next week, subject to
change, as follows: Hudson In the
afternoon and Canton in the evening
of Monday, March 9Th; Dell Rapids
afternoon and Flandreau evening OF
Tuesday, March 7th; Colman after
noon and Madison evening of Wednes-
day, March Sth: Ramona afternoon
and Howard evening of Thursday
March 9th; Carthage afternoon and
1roquois evening Of Friday, March 10th
closing the week with a big meeting
at Huron on Saturday night.
In his opening talks of this week
Governor McMaster did not dodge the
issue raised by George Egan, at Cen
~terville and Beresford he took the Nc
Dougall loan case by the horns and
showed three affidavits from promin-
ent citizens of Britton, declaring the
property which Egan said was worth
only $4,000 to be worth $4,000. He
then made 1t plain that under the law
the Land Loan Department is author
lied o make a loan equal to ninety per
cent of the collateral when the money
goes to a former soldier.
He discussed the State Game Lodge,
saying that the Lodge vas built at a
cost Of $25 900 instead of 10000 as
claimed By Egan and his organs; that
a contract had been let for a new lodge
at a cost of $40 900 instead of $100, 000
as claimed by Egan and his organs
and remarked that there was no fire
insurance on the lodge for the simple
reason that several years ago the state
legislature voted for the state to carry
it's own insurance and save hundreds
of thousands of dollars a year in pre-
miums in that way.
The Governor shot a barb into MIR
Egan personally when he remarked
"Of course Mr.. Egan is a great be
lever in fire insurance: he probably
would have insured a $25, 900 building
for 10000"
He discussed the tax situation al
length and then took up the Soldier
Bonus proposition which has been the
subject of charge and innuendo or
the pare of Egan and his organs fol
many weeks. He denied that the Bon
us Board money had been deposited IL
any bank for the purpose of holding
up the bonus and paid this tribute tt
the Board and it's work: that Mime
sofa has employed 3S5 employees ant
appropriated 1886, 900 for the admins
Itration of her bonus work while Souti
Dakota has employed eve more thar
90 employees and has expended $3S,
900 for administration Of the bonus
payments. He said that it was tru'
that Minnesota claims far outnumber
ed those in South Dakota but that tn
proportions were all in favor of Sout
Dakota,

LEGION PLAY TO Be
GIVEN MARCH II
~Nothlng But The TRUTH" A Three-Act
Comedy, VIII Be Presented

Nothing But The Truth" a comedy
In three acts, will be presented at the
Opera House, Friday evening, March
18th, under the auspices Of Hand
County Post of the American Legion.
Nothing But The Truth" is built
upon the simple idea OF Its hero speak
ing nothing but the absolute truth for
a stated period. He bets of friend ten
thousand dollars that he can do 1t,
and boldly tackles truth to win the
money. For a very short time the
task Is placidly easy, but Truth routs
out old man Trouble and then things
begin to happen. Trouble doesn't
seem to be very large and aggressive
when he first pokes his nose into the
noble resolve of the hero, but he grows
rapidly, and We Don see our dealer in
t,uth disrupting the domestic relations
of his partner. In fact, Trouble works
overtime, and regulations that have
been imblenished are smirched. Stu
ATOMS that are absurd and complica-
tons almost knotted, pile up, all Gre
dited to Truth, and the result Of the
wager to foster and cherish that great
virtue from the lips Of the man who
has %espoused the cause of truth to
win a wager.
The following is the cast OF char
acters:
Robert Bennett, a young stockbroker,
who says he will tell the truth for
"a hours--------W. d. Johnson
e. NJ. Ralston, head of the firm who
says 1t can't be done--
Alfrod Cphropdar
Richard Donnelly, another young
stock broker who says II can't be

innate that there are great many
people who have continued their old
cars in service just as in hard times
people wear their old clothes longer
than usual.
"The average life of an automobile
is from five to six years, and judging
from the total of cars previously
manufactured, we estimate that there
should have disappeared from service
in 1921 about 100000 automobiles
The actual number withdrawn, as in
dicated by the registration, was only
about 100000.
"If to the 100000 automobiles
which have to be replaced annual!
we were to add 100000 cars to cove
additional requirements OF both Oh
and new users, it would give tota
of 100000 cars as the annual pro
duction which will be required IN tn
industry.
