THE COUNTY AIoH SCHOOLS

At the last session of our State Legis.
lature, an Act was passed empowering
the several Counties Of the State to es
tablish and maintain free County High
Schools. The deslrability Of such schools
can scarcely fail to be apparent to any
one residing in the rural districts OF our
County
Chapter 204, of the Session Laws Of
1921, Section /, reads That County
High schools may be established in any
OF the Counties of this State in comph-
ance with the following provisions
No County High School shall be locat.
ed within three miles Of the corporate
limits Of a City having a population of
fifteen hundred 1900, or more, iuhabi.
tants, "and any such City, or lndepend-
ent School District containing such City
shall be exempt from the provisions Of
this Act Provided, That Any other
independent school District, or Consoli-
dated School District Maintaining -Four
Y ear Accredited High School Shall be-
Exempt From the Provisions Of Thin
Act. and no tax for County High Schoo.
purposes shall be eyied upon the assess
able property thereof, except as here
after provided In reCk oning the popu-
lation of towns and cities for the pur-
poses Of determining the provisions OF
this Act, the latest official figures of the
United states Census Bureau shah con
stitute the basis Provided further,
that any County High School once es.
tablished under the provisions of this
ct shall not be dissolved on account OF
increase of population or extension OF
the territorial limits of the village, town
OF other municipal corporation in which
it is situated"
You will observe, by the language Of
the foregoing Section Of the Act referred
to, a County High School Cannot Legal
ly be Located at the City Of Custer, be-
cause it is Consolidated Independent
school District and Maintains an Ac-
credited -Four Year High School
Therefore, the people of this pa Of
the County feel, owing to the size Of the
County, and the matter of accessibility
that there should be two High schools
established at the most centrally located
points Fairburn is the logical location
for the east half of the County, and
Pringe for the west.
We ask Of the good people Of Custer
county to please carefully consider the
question of the Pringle location. First,
because it is centrally located Second,
it has legal right to the School if the
people see fit to approve of it.
In conclusion Our County Superin-
tendent was misinfofmed az to the status
of Custer as location and we believe
that her attention having been called to
the fact, she will take measures to let all
know that mistake was made iu cir
culating petitions, that, if fled, will be
null and void and tend to confuse and
delay the securing Of The boon, for which
the petitioners pray

FARMING SURVEY
State Department to Determine Cost
Of Each Step in Disposing Of
Farm Products.

Work was commenced last week by
the state department Of agriculture upon
a survey to determine the cost of each
step in the marketing and distribution
of livestock and livestock products in
South Dakota. The survey is being made
Jointly with the u. ). bureau of markets.
Each phase of the marketing problem
will be taken up, including the local
shipping point, the terminal market
costs, the packer costs and the cost Of
retailing the product. Determination OF
costs at local points in this state will be
made in Brookings, Moody, Lake and
Kingsbury counties, under the direction
Of NJ Il. Benedict, special assistant to
the commissioner of agriculture.
The investigation of the terminal
market and packer stages will necessarily
have to cover year or more to be ac
curate,' MIR Benedict said in speaking
of the survey. an fact it has been
practically impossible to gather this in
formation until the recent passage OF the
packer control bill which placed in the
hands of the secretary of agriculture
authority to require standard account
ing systems in the packing industry
This survey will make available to the
producer Of livestock for the first time
accurate information as to the cost Of
the various stages in the marketing OF
his products 1t will enable him to
judge intelgently as to where inefi
ciencies, excessive charges or other
wastages occur and where improvements
are practical

Just as the sun was sinking,
Just as the shadows grew long,
gazed on the eastern horizon
And thought Of the day nearly gone,
A thought, and was sad one
Caused by the scene ! beheld,
All, twas one far from sorrow
Revealed there as though by the elves
Nor was it one Of great rapture,
OF Joy, and great happiness found;
Twas just one Of perfect contentment
Disturbed not by object or sound.
The picture which held me was Nature :
Own painting, Of colors from God,
Placed there by unseen brushes
Where no mortal man ever trOd
The sun had thrown out in departing
It's last sunshine kiss to the earth
With promise Of surely returning
ln as welcome and radiant burst.
Bright shades slowly faded,
Anc MINER grew the light
A. .e lingering ball Of fire
Gays way 10 the oncoming night
Twas Just a single sunset
Ofthe many that bless our way.
But n'er will that picture in memory
Fade to my dying day.

was seen that he was still almost as

House.
In The four years Of his retirement,
ne seldom saw party leaders. Yet so
strong was the reaction against the
Republicans and SO loud the call for
him in 1892 that he returned in tri-
umph To the White House.
One of the periodical panics of the
1911. century smotc the country with
financial and Industrial paralysis in
1893, only two months after the in
auguration. As usual, the party in
power caught the blame, ald day after

shouted in gleeful headlines: Another
bank gone Democratic :"

fidence, Cleveland called a special SEES

sion of congress for the purpose Of
having IL repeal the Silver act of the
Harrison administration. The next day
he submitted himself 10 the surgeons
knife for TIE removal of cancerous
ulcer which had appeared in the roof
of his mouth. His grave physical con-
dition was concealed from the panicky
mind of the public, and the operation
was performed IN the closest secrecy
aboard yacht as II steamed slowly up
the East River, off New York. Not un-
til many years had passed was II
known that VIXEN congress assembled
he faced ii with rubber jaw.
Under the pressure of the president,
the Silver act was repealed, but only
after bitter struggle which left the
Democratic party hopelessly split. The
passage of tariff bill divided the par
ty still more. 1t was such lobby
made log-rolling measure that Cleve-
land refused 10 sign 1t, but let 1t be-
come law without his signature. After
that tie Democrats went down In de-
feat in the congressional elections of
1894.
In the depth of our domestic
troubles the president sent his famous
Venezuelan message TO congress. In
il he announced that the British gov
eminent had rejected all our appeals
for the arbitration Of a land dispute
which 1t was pressing in South Amer
lea, and he boldly proposed that we
ourselves Should decide the question
and then proceed to enforce our de
cision.
Stocks tumbled headlong in Lon
don and New York, and there was
much wild talk on both sides of the
Atlantic. But the president confidently
treasured his troubled private secre-
tary, "Thurber, this does not mean
war; it means arbitration" AID that
was the outcome OF all the hubbub.
Cleveland's outburst of plain speaking
had the effect of awakening TIE Eng
lish people, as never before, to the val
ue of American friendship, and II
opened a new era In the relations Of
the two governments.
Cleveiand's hardest, longest battle In
his second administration was for the
gold standard. Almost alone he upheld
it through four years, abandoned by
most Of the Democrats and unaIded by
the gold Republicans In congress, wEo
were afraid of hurting the party
with the silver people.

CONCRETE FOR ROADS

During 1921 total Of G,000 miles
Of concrete roads were built i'm the
United States, and much greater
mileage of this type Of highway con-
struction will be constructed this
year.
AS a writer in the Chicago Tribune
expresses it, the concrete highway
construction Of 1921 represents Co.
600 miles Of new, and permanently
smooth concrete pavement that winds
over the hills and into the valleys of
health and contentment"-a charact-
erization that is as truthful as it l.
poetic.
AS the acid test of service dem
onstrates the wearing qualities and
durability Of concrete, highway en-
gineers and good roads enthusiasts
the country over are becoming more
and more positive in its praise,
especially for trunk-lne highway
intended to bear up under heavy
traffic.
In Georgia, as in practically every
other state of the union, the superb
GRITTY of concrete as paving ma
terial has been abundantly proven by
experience.
Though the initial cost may be
greater, in the building of an ar
terial highway to constitute the
main line of overland traffic, it il
unquestionably an economy to en-
ploy concrete.
For the feeder" lines and the min
or laterals, macadam, ebert, sand
clay, gravel or dirt road construc-
ton may answer the purpose if
economy in initial cost is imperative;
but the main artery in every case
should, if possible, be built of con-
crete, experience having taught that
concrete properly put down, is the
most durable and most nearly per
manent paving material that has yet
been invehted-Atlanta, Ga, Con
stitution
