neer Boys and Girls Natural Re-
source Conservation and Thift Club

RosebuGsD King to plant an acre, but
boys, remember that your entries will

this years club. There is no good
excuse in putting off making your en-
tries if you expect to become mem
Der of this club. We want hundred
good, hearty boys to enter this club
this year, and we want each and every
one to 90 into the work with deter
mination to win first place if pos
sible.
We hope that the boys and girls
will not overlook the opportunities
offered them in the Thrift Club. We
would like to get good big member
ship in this club in all parts Of the
county. Every member of these two
clubs is going to be mighty proud
that they are members Of these clubs

ceivcd in the Corn Club up to date:

MORE WAR MATERIAL READY
FOR DISTRIBUTION TO STATES

Five million board feet Of lumber
and $220,000 worth of other surplus
war material, consisting of steam and
gas engines and machine-shop equip
ment, all unused, recently was made
available to state highway depart
ments for road construction. The
material is to be distributed by the
Bureau Of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture. as were
large quantities which were helpful
to many states in road building last
season. Most of the lumber was m
tended by the army for the construc-
tion of a pier at Charleston, S. c., and
is suitable for highway bridges. The
machinery and equipment are stored
as ordnance supplies at the Picatinny
Arsenal, Dover, Del. This material
IS particularly in demand and an
allotment has been requested by each

Mc1-AGTER WINS BY $4,000


Sioux Falls, -. d., March 28.-Re-
polts received up to late hour to-
night showed that Gov Nc]Iastcr. III
his campaign FIR denomination as the
republican candidate for governor,
had swept the state over George Egan,
his indcrcrdcnt republican opponent.
That McMastci majority over Egan
in the state viii be well over 10000,
and may reach as high as $4,000 or
$4,000, WAS indicated by late returns.
Egan, so far as returns have been
received. caniod only two cities
Sioux Falls and Rapid City. Re-
tulus indicHtc that he carried only
three counties in the statc-Minncha-
ha, Moody and Miner.
The fact That Egan carried Sioux
Falls by Col majority and Minnehaha
county by majority Of about 500
was surprise to the McMaster lead
ers, who up to the last moment were
confident that NcMaster would sweep
both Sioux Falls and Minnehaha
county. The feet that Egan carried
the city and county Is thought to be
largely due to his support by union
labor, which was almost solldly unit
ed upon him.
While the McMaster supporters
were surprised at Egan carryi G 5 oux
Falls and Minnehaha county, the
Fganites IN their turn were surprised
by the poor showing mlde by their
candidate in cities and counties out
side cf Souy Falls and Minneh aha and
adjoining counties. IN many precincts
throughout the state his vote was
nearly nil, he j. in many precincts
making a sorry showing against Nc
Master.
This was the fourth time that Eean
has ben defeated fer the republican
nomina ion for the Office Of governor.

GREGORY LAND OFFICE
TO BE DISCONTINUED

Gregory, S. d., March 25.-John
Widlon, in charge Of the United
States land Office in Gregory, today
received official notice from Washing
ton, d. c., that this Office will be
moved and combined with the one To-
Gated at Pierre at the end Of the fiscal
year, July l. Mr.. Widlon also was
informed that the Offices located at
Lennon and Timber Lake would be
discontinued and moved to Pierre
along with the Gregory office.
The land office was established IN
Gregory in 1908 under President
Theodore Roosevelt s administration
and it's removed from this territory
takes away one of the pioneer land
marks of southwestern South Dakota.
Mr.. Widlon, of Viborg, was appointed
register of the Gregory office to sue
ceed E. Nj. Starcher in October, l92l,
and on March II, 1922, the register
and receivers Office was combined
leaving Mr.. Widlon in charge.
AL Fulwider was the retiring re-
ceiver. One of the last official acts
performed by President w. II. Taft
was the signing of an order to remove
the office from Gregory to Carter, but
rs So n as President Woodrow Wilson
was inargurated he signed another
der to leave the office there.
Soon after the establishment OF
this ofice it did the largest volume OF
business of any land Office located
in the state. Lately the amount OF
busine,s transacted here has not been
sufficient to warrant it's maintenance.

THE DAYS WORK

Is anybody happier because you pass
ed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke
to him today?
This day is almost over and its toiling
time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now kindly
word of you9
Did you give a cheerful greeting to
the friend who came along,
Or a churlish sort of "howdy" and
then vanish in the throng7
Were you selfish, pure and simple, as
you rushed along the way,
Or is someone mighty grateful for a
deed you did today?
Can you say tonight in parting with
a day that s slipping fast,
That you helped single brother OF
the many that you passed.
Is single heart rejoicing over what
You did or said?
Does a man whose hopes were fading
now with courage look ahead?
Did YOU waste the day or lose it; was
it well or poorly spent?
Did YOU leave trail of kindness or 9
scar of discomfort?
AS YOU close your eyes in slumbcr dc
YOU think that God would say
You have earned one more tomorrow
by the work you did today!

NUMBER 9
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT

Some people will pull off any kind
OF fool stunt in order to get their
names IN the newspapers.
In figuring his income tax a New
Yorker found that he owed the gov.
ernment lust four cents.
Did he send the four centsY He
did not. He elected to pay quarterly
and mailed the collector a one-cent
tamp.
The freak action was duly reported
IN press dispatches, rs he expected
but with names omitted.
Spring IS near.
Let us hope that it brings with it
reasonable resumption Of business
in the industrial world.
Regardless Of the fact that de-
ptession and unemployment have heen
widespread, there has been but little
real complaint. The people have ac-
ccptcd conditions rs mater Of course,
secure in their faith that tide that
ebbs will always flow again.
Panic? There is no such word any
more, 1t has been erased from the
American vocabulary.
That, at least, is a good sign.
II has cost this county $24l 900, 900
to keep its army on the Rhine in Ger
many. Some of our troops are still
there. when they should be here.
Our allied friends have arranged
for extracting from Germany the cost
of maintaining their own armies there,
but have studiously refrained from
including the $24l 100000 due this
country in the settlement.
When they get their backs up
against wall in another war they
will yell Justify for aid from America.
And they will get it right where
they are giving it to us now--in the
neck.
Congress is reducing the army and
navy to mere skeletons-to shadows
without substance.
We see no conclusive evidence Of
the other nations doing the same. In
TACT, we have strong suspicion. tastt tast
if the truth were known conditions
would be found to be quite the re-
verse.
A dog without teeth can growl and
snarl, but it is easily licked.
a country without an army or navy
can protest. but it can not rcpel an
invader with its tongue or with its
fists.
We need no weapon Of offense, but
is it wise to destroy entirely our
means Of defense7
Be student of human nature. You
will learn much and be wiser.
A certain project is suggested for
the home town.
JOnn Smltn Is an enthusiastic sup
porter. He sees success at every turn.
There can be no such thing as failure.
Tom Jones opposes. He can see
nothing good in the project. 1t is
doomed to certain failure, with dis
aster in its wake.
There you have the two extremes
Of life in small communicable
stumbling block which prosperity is
unable TO surmount or sidestep.
Smith is granite in his optomism.
Jones is flint in his pcssimism.
Somewhere thare is a middle course
--nost likely the correct and safe
solution--but neither Smith nor Jones
IS willing to take it, or even consider
It. They stand pat--and the town
