TO CHANGE CREDIT SYSTEM

Pierre, s. d., Jan. 23.-Therc is
somc agitation among members OF the
present South Dakota legislature in
favor of a reorganization of the rural
credits department to provide for ITS
administration through the counties
of the state, on the same system as
that used in the distribution of school
funds, under which, it is said, loans
have beer made ~aggrcoating $27 900
600 without the loss of a cent.
State officials acquainted with the
situation have expressed their ideas
n the subject.
"'The state never lost a cent for
@ roosou that the state makes
school fund loans,'' one of them said.
"The state simply turns the money
over TO the counties and they are re-
sponsihlc for the principal end 3 per
cent interest from the time they Get y
until it is paid back to the state.
vs. tncrr ore.anv losses the co"utie
must pay them TO the state. Where
the individual fairS to pay his interest
when due the county must do it and
take It's chances of getting il from
that individual. Where en- indlvld-
ual fails to pay a loan the county
must foreclose and get title to the
land and the state takes it up. Coun-
ties frequently have to dig up. It
make much difference
whether TIC money cOmes out of the
taxes Of the state or count 2, shes
cOmc from The same place.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH
KENNEWICK


THE Courier-Reporter knows of no
= better slogan to apply to Kenne-
wick than the motto of the Salvation
Army: "a man may be down but
never out"
The real measure of man is not
alone his ability to stay on his feet
but his ability to get up after he has
been knocked down. A weakling may
stay on his feet because he is weak
ling because he never ventures, risks
nor dares while the strong man often
goes down but comes back bearing the
scars of achievement.
What is true Of the Individual is
equally true of the community. It's
true measure is to be found in its
ability to recuperate, to get on its
feet and start going after having met
reverses. In this respect Kennewick
il worth thinking about.
Today Kennewick is the busiest
town in the Yakima valley and prob
ably the busiest town in agricultural
Washington. 1t is up and going and
coming back strong, while other ag-
ricultural communities are still pros
trate from the blow of short crops

STRAWBERRIES

IN recent editorial the Seattle
: Times says:
The strawberry is so called not be-
cause it's soil is bedded with straw to
preserve the plants in winter or to
keep the berries clean while growing,
but because of the straw-like stem to
which the fruit is attached. It is not
regarded as berry at all by botanists
who gravely remark that it lacks the
outer skin, inclosing seeds and pulp,
that distinguishes all true berries.
like the currant, for instance. But
despite popular misconceptions and
scientific criticisms of the name, the
strawberry abounds and prospers in
more than 1000 varieties.
By early American Indians the fruit
was deemed a gift from the Great
Spirit and its harvest was made the
occasion of festival, custom that

still persists among people of the
present time.
The cultivation of strawberries on
large scale for marketing purposes
began in 184S. Now in some parts of
he country, at the height of the sea-
son, the fruit moves in trainloads and
boatlOads. 1t is used in immense
quantities for canning and in jams,
jellies and syrups. In homes, during
the harvest period, the popular uses
of berries are in their natural state
and in short cake-a delicacy, by the
way, that is best when it is simplest
and devoid of extraneous decoration
While the strawberry possesses on
ly little nutritive value, it is declared
to be rich in medicinal qualities. 1t
