BLACK HILLS TOURISTS

Argus Leader: According to the
Black Hills newspapers, that section
has again broken all records for tour
lists this year. No figures are given
and last year it was estimated that
something like 5000 people saw the
Black Hills as visitors. They act as
self advisors and ii is not a bad guess
to predict that within a few years the
number of people who know the beau
ties of the Black Hills from first hand
contact, will constitute a considerable
majority OF the states population. 1t
is reasonable to believe that the tour-
list travel to the Hills this year is
heavier because of the daily reports Of
Sioux Falls people visiting them. Each
year the number increases and one
rarely hears any complaint from those
who have made the trip.
The Black Hills papers are now de-
manding a circle tou of the Black
Hills proper, both by railroad and
auto bus for the benefit of those who
have no automobiles. Some years
ago the railroads into the Black Hills
used to have a circle tour route
equally good on either one, SO tourists
could go north or south from Rapid
City and take in all principal points
of interest. But the increase of the
automobile seemed to make this i'm
practicable any longer after the war
and no one has yet started an auto
bus tour around the Hills. Young
college students have found it profit
able this summe to take tourists from
the eastern part of the state to and
around the Black Hills by auto and

all these are subjects which are
thoroughly threshed out. The boy and
girl club members are economists.
In a census taken Of 252 who at
tended the international Live Stock
exposition in 1920, it was found that
the combined wealth OF these young
folks was S300,0 600, all Of which had
beer acquired through club work.
Club workers are interested in educa-
ton as evidenced by the fact that
two years ago 800 Of them enter
ed agricultural colleges for courses
which would more fully equip them
for their rural tasks.
Youth is ever optimistic, ever
hopeful. Somehow, when n sees
these energetic young people there is
a tendency to forget the fact that
times have been dull and that the
industrial skies have been dark.
Rather there the thought that
the activities Of these boys and girls
well for the future. Equipped
with facts about the farm and the
farm home and problems which were
unknown to their parents, they are
going forward to be a real force in
community upbuilding. The lessons
learned in the club work are fitting
them to be yirile leaders in agricul-
ture, the worlds greatest industry.

AND NOW THE N

Minneapolis Journal; II will be up
to Warren G. Harding to ave the ma
tional finances from the disaster
threatening bonus Legislation. The
Senate has at length arrived at the
moment for passing the bill. Among
tive are several who do so merely
for face-saying reasons, and who are
expected to shift to the other side in
case the measure comes back on a
veto. The experts say that as mat
ters stand. the bill cannot be passed
over the veto in the Senate, as more
than a third of the Senators will sup
port the President.
After a long series of buck pass
iugs, and attempted buck passings,
the final decision will thus rest with
the President. 1t is a responsible
ty he would gladly have escaped-as
who would not? But there can be
little doubt that he will shoulder it,
because his position has been plainly
stated and because the conditions
have not been met by Congress.
Mr.. Harding's cardinal and entirely
reasonable demand was that any
bonus bill passed must supply the
means for its own enforcement must
specify how and when the money to
pay the bonus was to be obtained. He
suggested a sales tax, but failing
that, left the means of payment to
Congress.
Congress has ignored this demand.

view contains an editorial in it's last
issue which is worthy of reproduction

valuable advertising:

ed this fall at Bookings by several of
its best young people, who will there
secure training which will make them
more successful and happier farmers
and axe them the future leaders in
local and state community life.
One of our agricultural leaders has
well said, There are more opportu-
mites in agriculture in South Dakota
than any other line of endeayor. 1t
is also true that agriculture must
have its fair share of college trained
men who know the technical side of
the business and who are so we'll in

mics that they know the relation of
agriculture to other industries. If
agriculture cannot have its fair share
of college trained men, the American
farmer is doomed to become an Old
world peasant and the Republic of the
United States will then pass into his
tory
In other words, farming needs and
deserves the same educational advan,
tages given TO other lines OF activity.
The state has provided the opportu-
nifty. The young men and women of
the state should take advantage of it.

THE PRIZE

The following editorial by Howard
Biggar. agricultural editorial writer
on the Drovers Journal Stockman,
was awarded the first prize Of 500 in
the contest conducted by the Omaha
Bee. Brookings people, who have
known Mr.. Biggar since he was a boy
will read it with interest:
A great army was mobilizing in
our country in 1922-an army whose
achievements may not be fully realiz-
ed by the world at large but which
are none the less noteworthy. We
refer to the farm boys and girls
clubs, embracing at the present time
a membership of 100000, with a field
of endeavor covering nearly every
part of the United States. Organized
in a small way about ten years ago
under the auspices of the Department
of Agriculture, with the idea that the
enlistment of young life on the farms
might vitality affect farm practices
and create an interest in farm pro-
blems, club work has exceeded the
expectations of it's most optimistic
supporters.
Farms have always teemed with
secrets and the fields, kitchens, pas.
lures and feeding pens have been fill,
ed with opportunities. Two decades
ago these secrets were little realized
and the growing youth had little or
no idea of just what the farm offered
in the matter of a future life work
But today, through the avenue of club
work, the boys and girls enrolled
have acquired information and dis
played iniative which is the marvel
of their elders.
The boy and girl club workers of
today are business men and women in
the making. They have their own
officers and their own meetings held
at regular intervals hey handle things
in a b~usiness-like way. The proper ra
