The tourist may now make the entire route during the summer months without any impossible. roads and with good roads for the greater rart of the way. However, vast amount of permanent road work still needs to be done. MT.

Williams will need to add a number of permanent sources of revenues before the lumber industry plays out.

GEORGES HAS RECAINED HIS
 FIST|C FORM
Jack McAulife Says French Champion Is Now as
 Good as Ever.
By ED. CURLEY Universal Service Staff Correc

NEW YORK, Fea. 2.-Jack McAu life, the only undefcatcd and retired champion ever contributed by the lightweight class, has changed his opinion of Georges Carpenter since the champion of Europe disposed of George Cook, the Australian heavy weight.
 His First Idea
 McAuliffe visited both boxers be fore the fight. and advanced the writ ten opinion that the Australian mau- Ter would crush the French fighter whom McAuliffe described as white and drawn and not the same man who stood up for four rounds before the blows Dempsey rained upon him"
 In a letter mailed to us just after the fight McAuliffe admits his error in judgment and says that Carper tier once more is back in his besi form.
 Coming from man admitted to be one of the best judges of fighters, this will be welcome news to Ameri can promoters who are angling for the return of Carpenter to meet other American boxers.
 We think it would be impossible for Georges to fight Dempsey again, but Tom Gibbons and Gene Huney would furnish good bouts if pitted against the Frenchman.
 Bout Is Not Likely
 As for a Dempsey-Carpentier match on the other side of the water, we believe Dempsey will never come to terms with European promoters un less the scarcity of possible matches in this country shall continue intermi nable.
 No European promoter could af- ford to offer anything like the money Rickard paid Dempsey and Carpen tier for their Jersey City go and now that his price is up, Dempsey will probably try to maintain it.

HERE'S NEW ONE!
 THIS TRAINS FEM

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 2.-Mark Shaughnessy, veteran manager of boxers, who is here with Jack Me Auliffe, has sprung a new one on the boys. Marks latest invention is a novelty in training a boxers judge CT distance and ability to dodge socks aimed at him. Here's the lay of the land:
 A tennis ball hangs by a small cord from a brass ring which is fastened to the end of piece of broom han de. Mark holds the broom handle then bats the tennis bali toward the boxer. Ducking the ball, which is sent in all directions and at varying speeds. and counter.ng at the same time is one of the best developers of judgment of distance and ability to slip punches, says McAuliffe's manager

DON'T BE FOOLED.

Sioux Falls rgusLeader-Don't let
'em fool you, Mr.. Farmer. Farming
has paid pretty well over the last 20
years and it will pay just as well
during the next 20. AS our people
crowd into the cities, the demand for
foodstuffs increase. There is going to
be a fine market in the future for
what the farmer produces and just as
many men will earn a competence on
the farm in the future as in the past.
Just now the business is at a low ebb,
that must be admitted; but the man
who tries to get you to leave the
farm may pretend to be your friend,
but he isn't. And if you follow his
advice, just dig up these lines five
years from now and check these facts
against them.

five presidents; had one one acting
president for Is months, and ran for
a year and a half under a commission
leaving the average tenure of its
presidents seven and a half years.
How strange it seems that it's sec
ond-last and third last presidents,
Gault and Droppers, should each have
just touched the average and remained
exactly seven and one-half years
apiece; while Stage, the present in.
cumbent, has now o~verreached the
average but six months. His eight
years will be up Feb. 2.
The presidents Of B~rookings col
lege make an interesting study. Lily
was president for three years, Nc
Louth nine Heston seven, Chalmers
two and a half, Slagle eight, Ono presi-
dent for six months), Perisho four,
Brown ~(acting) one, and Johnson is
now on his third year. Their average
has, therefore, also been approximate
ly four and a half years.
The one outstanding character at
the head of an institution of higher
education is President Warren of
Iankton college (Congregational.)
While presidents have come and presi-
dents have gone as heads of other
institutions-both state and demonin.
ational-he has remained fixedly at
his post of duty since 1892, a period
of so years.
Dropping down from college and
university presidents into the normal
school class, we see pretty much the
same condition. Aberdeen normal, the
youngest institution in the state, has
already had four presidents with an
average tenure to date of five years.
For continuous service al the head
of n institution, the honor goes to
Fayette l.. Cook. who remained presi-
dent of the Spearfish normal for "a
consecutive years. Sight must not be
lost of the exceptional service of
Slagle. He served eight and a half
years as president of the School of
Mines at Rapid City, eight years at
Brookings college, and has just com
pleted eight years at the head of the
University of South Dakota, thereby
giving to him "a and a half years of
continuous administrative work at the
head of three state institutions.

COAL FOR CORN.

Mobridge Tribune.-The members
of a farmers club near New England,
y d., after reading the startling press
reports about South Dakota farmers
burning their corn, got together and
decided that there must be something
wrong with a situation whereby n
set of farmers had no corn, but oceans
of Ignite coal, while another aggre-
CATION of farmers, not more than 200
miles away, had ocean Of orn and
no coal. The result is that the New
England farmers have completed ar
rangements whereby they will trade
several carloads of Ignite coal for
other carloads Of corn now in the
hands Of South Dakota farmers. This
looks like a good idea for all concerned
and one that our South Dakota farm
ers might put into use with profit.
