The average man will need all his
brains and all his energy studying
things that can be found out. We do
not mean things that are already
known. If you stopped with these, the
world would forever remain in its
present Ignorance, which Is vast COM
pared with what 1t will know In the
future.
But where life comes from, why II
fiickers for brief space and dies,
and what is beyond the stars is some
thing that until we receive hitherto
unheard of light, we shall never know.
Waste no time on these problems.
They are as vain as the efforts Of the
alchemist to turn base metals to gold,
which occupied brains that might have
been better used on learning more use
ful things.
Learn first the limitations Of the
subject that you study. That will
dispose Of much puzzle and worry, and
enable you to 60 ahead and give 1t
the time and thought that may add
to the worlds store of wisdom, and
will certainly add to your own

WASTING ENERGY

Q lNCE the beginning of time men
~ have wasted millions of years OF
energy in trying to solve the unknow-
able.
The mysteries of life and death, the
puzzle Of space, these things are be
yond the grasp Of the human mind.
Let them alone. There Is abundant
knowledge that can be learned, useful
knowledge that will help you with
your career.
Study that kind Of knowledge. Take
mental food that your mind can digest.
Take 1t in abundance. Work hard to
get 1t.
But do not torture your mind with
problems that are beyond your reach.
A scientist, searching for truth, de-
termines as soon as he can In what
directions he can make progress. And
his researches follow in these direc-
tions.
Where he sees a stone wall set up
against him, he turns aside.
There Is no use trying to travel any
further in that way. There Is plenty
of work to do that can be done. And
that Is the work that occupies the
Investigators mind.

Something to Think About

Smoking the

veteran who found a can of
tobacco in his soldier mail
It was during the thick Of things in
France that Gen. Pershing sent the
following frantic cable to Washington:

thousand tons OF tobacco distributed
over fighting force OF 1000, 900 men
showed good intentions, but 1t didn't
all the need-not by a few million
pipefuls.
Even today letters still come in
from veterans who have forgotten the
horrors OF war and remember only the
thrill of "a real American smoke" in
France. Cb

South Dakota Legislature
Retains Federal Aid

Pierre, Feb. 19.-South Dakota's leg
~islature refused TO censor the national
congress for its action in dollar
matching" schemes, and failed to re-
quest congress not to pass any more
Of these measures when Senator Allen
Bogue's resolution was defeated Sat
urday, rs to Is. The method OF the fed
eral government in granting federal
aid TO state educational projects under
the consideration that the state put up
an equal amount OF money was the
chief thing under fire,
In speaking of his resolution, SEN
ator Boguc declared that the system
Of matching n federal dollar for each
dollar appropriated by the various
states was financially nnsound, and
that in time II would ruin the country.
He sdeclsred that it brought about a
great increase in expenditures and
taxation. and that the system will
eventually ruin the state.
South Dakota at the present time,
he showed. is getting over $1,000. 900
annually by voting the same amount
from state funds. He showed that
state departments that get money from
the dollar matching scheme have In
creased their expenditures and have
tended to extravaganza and waste. He
particularly pointed out the state edu-
cational department, which got about
$11, 600 a year in 1911, and since TAX
ing the federal aid, the state gives il
about $190,000 annually.
Wickre of Day, took issue on the
matter, with the idea that dollar
matching helps education, especially
in the funds going to State college
He declared that plank II in the re-
publican party platform backed the
dollar matching scheme.
Senator Everson backed the resolu'
ton. with the argument that the state
must control and conserve its own re.
sources instead of taking up dollar
matching
With the declaration that the great
majority of the farmers are in favor
of dollar matching. Senator Anterior
opposed the resolution, and showed
where the money received was a direct
benefit to agriculture.
Two amendments were offered tc
the resolution, both Of which were
killed. Wagner of Bon Homme tried
to amend the resolution by taking OF
the clause which favored the aid to
the highway department. Senator
Miller attempted to strike out the part
| which declared that this was taxation

CLUB ENDORSES
CITY AUDITORIUM
Unanimous Vote OF Commercial Club
For Building

The adjourned meeting of the Com.
merctal Club held Tuesday night for
final consideration Of the community
auditorium project, attracted q large
number of interested members. Mr.
j. T. McCullen reported for the special
committee Of investigation a unanim-
GUS favorable report. Speeches were
made supporting the report by Mr.,
II. J. Bushfield, Mr.. John Pussy, and
Mayor w. j. Halloween, outlining many
reasons and uses for such a building.
Mr.. Pusey offered the following res
olution:
WHEREAS, The President of this
Club called a meeting of a number OF
the business men OF Miller to discuss
the feasibility of erecting an Auditor
ium in the City of Miller:
AND WHEREAS, Such Committee
did meet in pursuance to said call,
and after due consideration Of the
matter voted unanimously to report to
the Commercial Club at its Special
Meeting to be held Feb. 20. 1923. That
said Committee were in favor of the
City of Miller erecting. an Auditorium
during the Spring and Summer of
1928:
NOW THEREFORE,, Be 1t Resolved
that the members of the Commercial
Club of Miller are unanimously In fav-
or OF the City of Miller erecting an
Auditorium during the spring and
summe of 1923, and that a copy of
this Resolution be delivered at the
next meeting of the City Council to
the Hon. Mayor and members of the
City Council of said City of Miller by
a committee appointed by the Presi-
dent of this Club.
e. II. Wilson offered an amendment
to the effect that the committee so
selected would aid and counsel with
city officers in the necessary prelim-
mary work.
The resolution so amended was un-
animously adopted by a standing vote
of the club which again demonstrated
that citizens who have given the mat
ter any thought or investigation,
quickly arrive at the conclusion that
such a building is greatly needed in
Miller.
Speakers called attention to lik>
work in ~neighboring towns, mention
being made of community or auditor
ium buildings in Orient, Zell. Wessing-
ton, and other localities surrounding
Miller where buildings are provided
for large gatherings, and pointed to
the fact that Miller. the largest town
OF this section OF the state, had no
such facilities. This fact not only
restricts all social activities OF cur
W city. but obviously deprives the
business interests of benefits in public
gatherings Of visitors 70 eagerly
sought by all live cities and towns.
1t was declared by speakers and
club me mhers that Miller could easily
correct this existing handicap by a
little earnest united action of her citi-
zens.
