Public.

Though we have inquired OF
Postmaster G. V. Welch. he says
he knows nothing Of plan to in
stall telephone in the lobby OF
che Philip postotfice. Yet this very
thing is being done IN some OF
the postofices in the state. A
telephone has recently been placed
in the postolf'ice lobby at Beres-
ford for the accommodation of the
general public. and the Republic
has this to say concerning the in
novation:
"By A special order from Post
master Hays, a telephone will be
installed in the Beresford post
office just as soon as the company
can make arrangements for such
service.
This is to be an entirely new in
novation, and is quite revolution,
airy 1t is in keeping with the
idea Of the postmaster general
that the post office shall be- a cen
ter Of public information, as well
as the place to mail your letter
and get your daily papers.
1T will be quite necessary that
the people do not abuse the spe-
cial privileges which the new sys-
tern will afford. For instance, il
will not be reasonable to phone
to the office to see if you have any
mail after each train, or Just why
YOU did not get Your daily paper
or your Republic on time. The
phone will be in the lobby Of the
office, and there will be times
when it will he impossible for the
force to answer it at all.
"On the other hand, it is going
to be specially advantageous fol
the route driver who wishes to
phone to the country, and ask 8
patron of the route to meet hin
and get some valuable or perish
able parcel or registered letter
"Thcn, for townspeople, wher
they arrive at the post office and
receive letter for the wife, it will
be possible to phone home and ask
if you may read it, or if that let
ter that YOU have forgotten tc
maiT-for a week is suddenly found
to be insuti'icientiy addressed, you
may call up wife and get it al
straightened out, while remaining
at a safe distance
The idea is fine one. and un-
less the privilege is abused. viii
work out we'll. The post offices
over the nation from now on are
to be of just as much service tc
the people as it is possible to
make them.

THE BIBLE A RURAL BOOK

The other day the sub-editor
came across the following jingle
about the Bible. 1t is well worth
thinking about:
The Bible is a rural book From
uastured hills the prophets look;
the inspiration of their word,
stern voices in the storm winds
heard When Heavens light on
Jacob shone his head was pillowed
on a stone. The city no such Wis
ION yields; his ladder rested in the
fields. Not yet a king, by wood and
rock, Saul sought his fathers
strayng stock. Young David wat
ched the grazing sheep, the flock
from wolves and bears to keep.
With pebbles from country brook
the great Philistine's life he took
All scripture heroes had their birth
where naked feet touched naked
earth. And one there was exceed
ing them who walked Main Street
Of Bethlehem and kept with angel
voices tryst; a small-town Carpen-
ter was Christ. He wrought no
stately mansions ribs but homely
things like baby cribs. We cele-
brate his natal day and even cities
own his sway, but still as then the
fields rejoice and praise. him with
clearer voice No little village
gave him death, no Bethany nor
Narazeth. His words were words
of life to them, men slew him in
Jerusalem. .

On the request Of the county
highway superintendent an engin-
eer was sent out to do the work.
His bill was presented to the
county, but the county commits
sioners refused to allow the bill,
holding that if it was claim at
all it was against the township.
The bill was presented to the
township board, which refused to
allow it on the ground that it was
a county bill.
The matter was brought to the
attorney general and his holding is
that under the provisions of the
state highway law the charge is
a valid one against the county, if
the work sought to be done was
to cost in excess OF $3.50.

COUNTY MUST PAY FOR
TOWNSHIP HIGHWAY
SO Attorney General Holds In Case
Brought From Butte
County

The present highway law is not
very clear in some particulars as
to the Jurisdiction Of county auth
critics and township authorities
over secondary highways. There
has been a good deal Of argument
in the county auditors office of
This rottntT at ,afious times When
the county commissioners were in
session, and some matters have
been settled rather definitely and
generally with satisfaction to ev-
erybody One point has recently
been disposed Of by the office Of
the attorney general
An opinion by that officer covers
one of the issues under the pres
ent highway system. One of the
supervisors of an organized town
ship in Butte County called upon
the county highway superintend-
ent to survey secondary road in
the township of which he was one
Of the supervisors.
The law provides that if the
county highway superintendent is
an engineer he shall do this work,
but if he is not an engineer, he
shall have the work done by some
one competent to carry it out. !

PLAN TO BOOST BLACK HILLS
Greater Black Hills Association tt
Spread Gospel of The
Black Hills

Preliminary steps which in the
end will result in permanent or
ganization to be known as the
Greater Black Hills Association
were taken at meeting held in
the commercial club room at Rapid
City recently, where representa-
tives from a few Of the surround
ing towns met with strong com
mittee of business men from that
city and talked over ways and
means by which the gospel of the
Black Hills could be sent broad
cast over the country
DR.. Jackson was elected as chair
man and will preside over all the
meetings until a permanent orga-
nization is perfected. Welles Craw-
ford of Rapid City, was elected
secretary.
The association will very active
ly advertise the Black Hills and
during the coming summer it is
expected that more tourists will
pass through, Philip on the way to
the Wonderland of South Dakota
than in any previous summer. The
Black Hills folks are now getting
start in the right direction.
Heretofore each town has attempt
ed to do something alone, but here
after the whole Hills country will
act as unit. Rapid City is the
headquarters, but Deadwood, Hot
Springs and other towns of the
Hills are enthusiastically behind
the movement.

FOREST RANGER SERVICE
REAL TEST OF COURAGE

The virgin forests Of Paradise
Valley were food and drink to the
inhabitants of the valley, and
when the government announced
it's intention Of protecting the
timberland as a part Of its Fed
eral Reserve. the natives laughed
and went ahead cutting trees.
The Forest Ranger service de-
cidcd diplomatic as well as cour-
ageous ranger should be sent into
Paradise Valley to teach natives
respect Of the law as well as
the fact that they could make as
good living abiding by the law as
by evading it. Smilin Bob Corey
was selected as the best bet, and
accompanied by Ranger Jim O'Neil
he made his way into Paradise
Valley.
After he met the prettiest girl
in the valley, and was exposed as
ranger. life was no idle dream
for Smilin Bob He found some
thing to do every minute Of his
time, from smiling to fighting.
And when he was accused of mur-
der, and the fire broke out in the
forest, he broke all records for
speed.
He rescued the girl from the
fire found the murderer, helped
fight the fire, Of course, he wins
the girl, and the community re-
cieves him with open arms.
Thrills. Humor! Atmosphere! Ro-
nance. Suspence! That's why you

OUR WEEKLY POEM

For these times the Pioneer
Review has found no verse more
encouraging than the following
lines entitled The Lesson Of the
Diamonds:
When you're out in lifes hard bat
tie,
And you find things going wrong;
Business dull in times Of plenty.
Money, tight and profits gone
And you're simply up against it,
You just seem to've lost your grip
With the markets gone to pieces,
Set your jaw and bite your lip.
Grit your teeth and keep on going,
Don't go drifting with the mohl
jog along there'll be turning,
Keep on jogging on the job!
Just remember that our diamonds,
Once were only chunks of coal
Chunks that stayed right to the
finish,
Till they reached their sparkling
goal.

LAND SURE TO MOVE AGAIN
Haakon County Worth AS Much
As 1t Ever Was Coming
Events Will Prove This.

Listening to the talk Of some
Of the weak knccd brethren who
| call occasionally at the office of
lthc pionecr-Review. one could easi-
I ~ believe that the bottom had
dropped right out of the real es-
tate values in Haakon county, and
that land in this locality would
never be worth much again. This
strikes us as nothing less than
amusing. When the present fin
sancial storm blows by, the bright
sunshine of prosperity will fall
with new glory on western land,
land these lands in western South
Dakota will begin to come into
their own.
Be assured that Haakon county
land is worth just as much as it
ever was. People may not be will
ing to pay as much for it as they
fonce would, but it is good old black
land. Just the same. We hear that
people are not falling over them
selves in froIicsome fashion pur-
chasing Iowa land, as they once
/ lid. But nobody concludes on that
account that Iowa land is worth
less. Recently Flandreau parties
purchased 900 acres of land in Sui
~ county at Sal 90 per acre, a
Itotnl of .Gi0 O00
4 This is only shadow OF coming
events We are honest in our con
lviction that. there will be real
Hand boom not the kind that para
flyzed Illinois, Iowa and the eastern
section of this state, but an active
Emovement that will mean many
settlers on lands which can be pur-
chased in this country from SIS
To $50 an acre, and which land
will grow corn, alfalfa and other
crops equal to the 5000 an acre
land east of us. If tract of alfal-
ia of from five to twenty acres

Later it was stated that the cause
of Lord Northcliffe's death was sup

by acute blood poisoning.
The death Of no other unofficial

the doctors for the, last week plainly
indicated that their patient was dy-
ing. a.
The nature Of the fatal disease has
not yet been revealed, but it is ex-
pected the public will soon be told.
Lord Northclifre was by far the
most noted figure in British Journal

death will have on the policies OF the
