trade from western Rosebud and all
of the Pine Ridge country, therefore
they do not intend to complete their
line west from Winner until they are
forced to by competition.
The Burlington extension west from
O'Neill will be more apt to pass thru
the southern part of Tripp county,
thru Todd, Bennett, Shannon and
Washington counties and on to Edge
mont, S. d., at this point tapping
their Wyoming, Montana and Black
Hills lines, giving them good connec-
tions with the coal and oil fields of
Wyoming, if that is what they want,
and the privilege of passing through
one of the richest agricultural coun-
tries in the United States-the Pine
Ridge and Rosebud country.
The proposed Great Northern rail-
road project thru the Rosebud and
Pine Ridge countries has probably
had something to do with hurrying the
Burlington to announce it's intention
to build. The race will be started.
How are you betting? Great North
ern, Northwestern or Burlington. A
rich agricultural territory to draw
from will be awarded the winner.
And as q side bet invest in some fine
Bennett county dirt. You cant lose.

Railroad construction is always an
interesting subject to the people of
this and adjoining counties. We be-
lieve that we are on the eve of
period of railroad building in this
section Of the country and once actual
work is started there is little doubt
that the Northwestern will get busy
on its Winner extension. Those who
are contemplating making real dirt
investment will not hesitate, but will
buy now in this county. which is
destined to be the garden spot of the
great state Of South Dakota. Land
prices have never been unduly inflated
here yet. We look for real railroad
activity to begin within the next
eighteen months.

OFFICERS OF r. I. I. A.
MEET AT CARTER

In response to a call Of the presi-
dent of the Rosebnd Inland Inter
Scholastic association, meeting Of
the offers o. tie above association
was held at Carter, Saturday for the
purpose Of making arrangements for
the field meet to be held at White
River this year, and also for the pur-
pose Of adopting q permanent consti
tuition and set ofbylaws.
Because Of the condition of the
roads the schools were very poorly
represented. Various matters were
discussed which will no doubt be Of
interest to our patrons. One Of the
clauses embodied in the constitution
will make Wood the permanent loca
ton for the meet after the year 1922.
1t was understood by the participat-
ing schools last year that the school
winning the cup should also be award
ed the meet for the year 1922. We
believe that in order to insure the
success of this association in the fu-
ture it will be conducive to that end
to have a centrally located point for
the annual meet. In view Of the fact
that Wood is the most centrally locat-
ed point and furthermore because of
the fact that the idea had its origin
here, we feel that we are entitled to
the permanent location. 1t will be
up to the citizens of this town to make
the necessary arrangements to make
the meet success in years to come,
provided the constitution is adopted
as drafted.
The number Of classes will be re-
duced to two this year and the num-
Der of events will also be reduced in
order that we may easily complete
the program during the day. Instead
Of having o base ball game in the
morning this year as we did last
year, we shall cndcavor to get good
man from one of our state institu-
tions to deliver a lecture on consOli-
dation Of schools We hope further
to interest the extension department
OF the state university in taking mo-
ton pictures of the various events.
II will be an added incentive to the
boys and girls to do their very best
if they know that they will appear
on the screen after the meet. We be-
lieve, too, it will be a matter of con-
siderable interest to eastern boys and
girls to know what the inland schools
of the Rosebud are doing. We antici-
pate that the meet will be the big
event Of tn year and we urge the rural
schools of the Rosebud to cooperate
with the central schools in making it
such.
We shall endeavor to keep our
readers informed from time to time
as to any new developments. We
hope to be able to give the pro-
gram in next week s issue. We shall
have the program printed in all the
papers Of the Rosebud. Mission has
expressed desire to participate in
the meet this year. The rules gov
erning the meet will be the same as

Crop Report Shows Small
Reserves Of Cereals

The March crop report Of the ag-
ricultural statistician indicates that
The reserve stocks of cereal crops in
South Dakota March ! were rcla-
lively smaller than they were one
year ago. The very heavy feeding
Of hogs, which has been common over
the state, is an important factor, for
the amount actually shipped out was
nine per cent less than was shipped
last year. 81 per cent of last years
crop was merchantable. In 1922 there
were 5l,909,000 bushels Of corn on
farms on March |, while in 1921 there
were 55,S45, 600 bushels on farms. BY
March l, 1922, Al, ,45l $3.50 bushels Of
corn had been shipped out, while in
1927 there had been 45,990,000 bush
els shipped out.
Up to the first of the new year
wheat was about the only cereal crop
that demanded cash market, which
the farmer thought was at all sat
isfactory. The forced marketing of
wheat, to satisfy farm credit caused
heavy shipment. Also the wheat this
year was Of n better quality than
usual and with smaller production.
For these reasons we find less wheat
in South Dakota this year than any
other recent year, while slightly less
than 100000 bushels were shipped
out. On March /, 1922, there were
5,975,000 bushels Of wheat on farms
while there were 7,538,000 bushels on
farms March l, 1921. Up to the
first of March, 1922, 16,SS7,0O0 bush
els were shipped, while l8,036,O0O
were shipped by that time in 1921.
The carry over Of oats is smaller
this year than it was one year ago,
there being about thirteen million
bushels less on farms this year than
last. Owing to the poor quality of
the oats this year about seven million
bushels less were shipped out this
year than last. Oats show 2G,235, 600
bushels on farms in 1922 against 80
$4,000 bushels in 1921. While ship
ments show 16,907 900 bushels in 1922
as compared with 2l,113,000 bush
els in 1921.
Barley yields were extremely small
in proportion and of poor quality.
Today there is about one half the re
serve held year ago, while shipments
were more than 100000 bushels
less than year ago. The situation
in the United States rs whole on
March I, 1922, indicates that the ma
tional reserve Of corn, wheat, oats
and barley was materially below the
usual reserve. The carry over of
corn was six per cent less than
year ago, but So per cent greater
than in 1920. The outstanding fea-
ture regarding corn is that never III
recent years has the quality been so
good, for S7.5 per cent OF the entire
crop was mcrchantable.
The national carry over of wheat
was 5.S per cent below the reserve
held last year While the present
reserve Of oats is 10 per cent less
than last year. The reserve Of barley
was IA per cent less than year ago.

Periodically some woman opens the
eyes of the men around her, ofttimes
to their discomfort.
A 23-year- old girl was recently cleo
ted mayor of an Ohio city Of 1000
population. The underworld consid-
cred it joke, and prepared for
carnival of crime. But the young
mayoress appointed herself chief of
police, magistrate, and the whole
works. Being graduate physician
she even became health commissioner.
Then she quietly went to work, and
the criminal element soon found itself
pinched, and jailed, and fined without
mercy. They tried threats, and bribes
and every other method known to
criminality, but without result, ex-
cept to make more relentless their
prosecution. 1t was too much of
bad thing, and the lawbreakers si-
lently faded away.
Now the city has no underworld

lady mayoress has national reputa!

But not now

Whether you be republican, or a
democrat, or a mugwump you prob
ably noticed the statement from
Washington to the effect that Mr.. Will
son declines to comment on the work
Of his successor in the white house.
In this instance Mr.. Wilson dis
plays wisdom, and good sense. He
made mistakes while in Office, as well
as other presidents have made theirs,
and as Mr.. Harding will make his.
We are all human enough to err
in judgment, but one greatest Of all
follies is to stand aloof and criticise
the one who succeeds us in Office.
1t is not an American trait.

WILDWOOD GOLF TRUSTEES GIVE
BANQUET AT THE BRIGHTON

The trustees of the Wildwood Golf
Club gave a dinner at the Brighton
on Wednesday evening to celebrate the
good progress being made in the work
of laying out the golf course on the
MacKissic farm on the main seashore
road between Cape May City and Cape
May Court House. The 1S-hole course
is now almost completely roughed in
and ready for the fertilizer and seed.
The citizens of Wildwood and vicinity
are alive to the benefits to be derived
from a golf course and are co-operat-
ing IN a manner that is pleasing to the
trustees. Foster Goslin was toast
master and after making an eloquent
civic appeal addresses were made by
Assemblyman Robert J.. Kay, Judge
Eldredge and Senator W. H. Bright.
Mr. Duffy, a representative of the
Kiwanis Club, who happened to be in
Wildwood that day, was invited to the
dinner and gave an excellent address,
congratulating our citizens on their
public spirit. At the close Senator
Bright made a strong appeal for the
sale of golf bonds and $12, 900 worth
were disposed of during the evening

Il can furnish a band of any size
that may be desired; but would sug-
gest a band Of 20 or perhaps rs men, if
your appropriation for music is only
moderate"
