TRAIL BOOSTERS
ENTERTAIN CLUB
Community Spirit Sought I'm Trail
Town for Tourists

A party of Black and Yellow boost
ers from Huron visited Miller Friday
evening and held a meeting in the
Commercial Club rooms.
Some so or so citizens were enter
tanned by music and a clever play
put ON by students of the Huron Col
lege, including MI. Earl Crawford,
Miss Hagen and Miss Hatch. They
were accompanied by several Huron
business men, who made the trip by
auto, returning home the same even
ing.
Mayor Halloween called the meet
ing to order and introduced III. l..
keyes, manager of the trail associa-
tiGn. Mr.. Reyes made a very lucid
explanation of the purposes and am
bition OF the association in competing
for tourists business with the other
two state trails. which are spending
considerable money and effort for the
business. He called attention to the
fact that last year Minnesota claimed
a S12, 0O0, 900 tourist business, Wiscon-
sin 5000 900, Colorado $42, 0O0, 900.
1t is estimated by the experts that
every car crossing South Dakota
leaves i'm the state $40. This entirely
new business is growing rapidly and
it is worth going after by advertising
with literature, maps, scenic advan-
tages, etc.
The Black and Yellow Trail is the
shortest n from Chicago to the yell
lowstone Park by some 800 miles, and
Mr.. Reyes stated that in another year
the trail would be graveled from Chi
cagO to- Pierre.
This tourist business is considered
so important by the trail north of US,
that after several years of experience,
they are this year maintaining a paid
force Of twenty employees, with bur-
eaus in Chicago and Minneapolis. to
direct tourists over the route. He sta
ted also that the new state bridge at
Pierre would be completed next year.
He urged u citizens to help along
this business in every way, by beauti-
flying the city, by courtesy and friend
illness to the tourists, in the good
western way, by dealing squarely with
them. They will SPEAK a good word
for South Dakota and possibly return
here to invest and make their homes.
He labored earnestly to create the
community spirit which it takes to
build towns and states. The associa-
ton is asking each town on the trail
to contribute to the budget necessary
to procure publicity and tourists for
the Black and Yellow Trail. 1t is
an important highway now, and Will
grow more so. 1t is a worthy and
profitable enterprise to support.

WEEKLY r ON
BY REV. T. j. SIMONS

so commonly use. The highest, most
refined manifestations of the earth
are the most valuable. Ultimately II
is the best i'm mankind. Therefore
the truest and most loyal evaluation
of the qualities of our fellow men is
the most important element next to
the recognition Of the over-soverignty
of God in the building up of our own
characters to acquire the blessings OF
this world and earth.
But what further of the character
Of meekness? II is in the one who
is guided by God. obeys God like Mos
es who was willing to be taught. He
underestimate his abilities saying
that he could not speak and therefore
was not the one to be sent on the
important errand of liberating the
Children OF Israel from the bondage
OF Egypt. But God persuaded him
that some one else could do the
speaking, and that he must do the
important thing represent Him at
the court of Pharaoh and accept the
responsibility. Weakness is having a
great purpose in life and going quiet
ly about ii. Weakness will not allow
enc to wrangle with his God. IL will
F, direct him to God for the true values
OF life and in the requirement OF them.
| The one who is meek has no time to
foolishly contend about things In
| which he must of necessity come OF
loose in the end with God. The one
who REBELS against the ways Of the
universe is sure to be a lOoser. No
wonder when Margaret Fuller said:
81 accept the universe" and 1t was re-
ported to Thomas Carlisle he replied
We'll, she'd better.
Next in Importance to ones being
r~econciled to God if he is tor be meek
ana inherit the earth Is that of not
wrangling with the fellow men. The
one who stops to argue everything
! will never get the habit Of getting. /
suppose it was all right for Shakes
pear to put i'm Othello the immortal
words IL am nothing II not critical
but being critical will not build one
up in anything. Neither will II build
others up. Unless, of course there rs
such a thing as constructive critic
ism. But that cannot be contention
and pickering. The way OF meekness
is to keep ones eye on his big bust
ness and let nothing defect him from
it's accomplishments, not even the
hurts he gets I'M the doing of his duty.
Weakness Is driving ahead at ones
own business but at the same time be-
ing sure that he does not DO another
an injury in the putting over his own
interests.
This kind of living is a benignity.
II blesses ones self and it transfers
blessings to others. The n who
does most good tn others is himself
done most good. Cast thy bread up
on the waters and IL shall return
unto thee after many days" Don't try
to hurry il up too much. The truth
and reality is worked into the meek
person. They enjoy the earth most
and have the most Of II In it's illimit-
able phases and manifestations. You
cannot take better advice than that
of Jesus who said: Learn OF me,
for I am meek and lowly in heart
and ye shall find rest In your souls"

MEEKNESS

| am writing these few lines to try
to correct a false impression of the
way to get along in the world. l am
doing this because / want to see peo-
pie prosper. That is, have true pros
perity, founded on the right principles
and therefore permanent, a prosperity
that takes into consideration the
whole being.
In the first place, to come into pos
session Of the things of time and
sense, one will have to conform to the
irrevocable laws Of the universe, The
starting point in this matter is to
recognize whose il is. 1.-The earth is
the Lords and the fullness thereof
says the scripture and mot n title
of it shall pass away. The only n
in which enc can possess any OF this
earth is to hold II in trust for God.
And the only way one can come into
such a position of trust is to be a
legatee of God. You can inherit IL
from him according to his laws of in
heritance, and il II is not so inherit
cd one cannot continue In possession
and use of 1t. Besides only by fol-
lowing this line of truth can one make
dnN part VI IL fttEG uSt IA ufhhNi ,
quality and value to himself. Here
are some substantiations OF this. III
gotten gain eventually curses the one
who gets il and II he has progeny
them too. The miser is destroyed by
the love of his gold. The gambler
gives nothing in return for what he
gets by gaming. The thief is ever at
the mercy of the law. The covetous
betray themselves in their every re-
lation with their fellow men. But
the one who recognizes the sovereign
ownership of God and is honest and
sincere in his endeavor to do q
rood in his way of using His goods Is
cure to prosper in the things of time
and sense and at the same time De
built up in the things of eternity and
the spirit.
That very concluding thought in
PRODUCES us to what are the things
worth while of this worlds goods to
strive to possess. Everything in its
place is good and good to have. Just
as IL is said that dirt is matter out
OF place.. Woe unto the one VINO
never gets above the possession or
craving Ia possess the gross elements
of the earth. He is sure to- have a
lot of matter out OF place, IL in moth
ing else, at least in his estimation OF
it's value. II will have a wrong place
in his mind and heart. The earth is
more than mineral, Vegetable and ami
NAL. The very beauties and myster-
les of chemical composition must no
be lost sight Of II one is to prosper
in things of earth.
Art. manufacture. industry, trans
p~crtation are built upon them. With.
| cut the knowledge of their values and
virtues and the pricing them for what
they are and what can be done with
them we could not have the civiliza-
ton we now enjoy. And to- think o
what is. possible for us in the devel'
opment Of our equipment for bodily
comfort and pleasure Is not imagin-

uous existance in the army. The Ninth
has an ancestry which has participant
ed i'm most OF the wars in which this
country has been engaged.

emplified by the fact that, at a recent
inspection by a representative of the
chief Of field artillery, it was declar-
ed by that officer to- be one of the
best field artillery units in the U. s.
Army.
Under the present military policy
of the United States, large numbers OF

ants John A. MacReady and Oakley
Kelly lan6ed at North Island aid sta
ton, San Diego, at 1927 p. M, today,
having completed history's first non-
stop airplane fight across the North
American continent.
The feat was a new record for the
longest airplane flight.
The two aviators had been in the air
approximately twenty sever hours be-
tween Mitchell field, n. Y, and North
Island, San Diego.
The air distance between New York
and San Diego is approximately 2,403
miles.
The best previous distance fight by
airplane was from San Diego to In
dianapolis. by Kelly and MacReady, a
distance of 1900 miles.
The flight they completed this after
noon probably will exceed in distance
1850 miles, when the official mileage
is computed from their instruments.
