II BLACK HILLS

Aberdeen American: All South
Dakota should be glad and proud OF
the Black Hills. They belong to all Of
us. They are ours to enjoy and ours
to profit by God made the balance
of South Dakota for unitarian pur-
poses, but he made the Black Hills as
a beauty spot; a play ground for the
! tired worker, & rest for the weary, an
inspiration for those who see in Ma
ture the handiwork of the Om%nipotent.
One cannot tire of them; every turn
of the road, every passing cloud, every
rising and setting of the sun, presents
them in new and varied beauty. The
cool shadow of the giant pines, the
rushing mountain streams, the sharp
crags rising to the sky, the depths of
mighty canyons, the %wide-lung pam
Drama of hill and vale, all conspire
to bring peace and rest and comfort
to the weary soul.
AS an asset to all South Dakota
they are beyond the bounds of figures
or imagination. AS their beauty be-
comes more widely known and the
facilities for seeing them are improv-
ed, il will mean thousands upon thou
sands of annual visitors from beyond
the confines of the state, as well as a
recreation place for our W people.
There may be higher mountains,
crowned with eternal snow, but no
place in America is there a more
beautiful spot than that which within
a few miles contains Sylvan Lake,
perched six thousand feet above the
sea, The Needles, giant monoliths,
pointing their sharp spires to the sky,
and Harvey Peak, presenting to the
naked eye, a view covering 200 miles.
Hot Springs, Wind Cave, Spearhsh
canyon and a thousand other places
offer scenes of interest and beauty,
but he who has not seen Sylvan Lake,
surrounded by its sentinel rocks, has
| not seen the climax of the glory OF
the Hills.
The Black Hills are most fortunate

ABERDEEN ORDERS
"WOBBLIES' TO DEPART

Aberdeen, S. d., July 12.-The first
wobhjies of tire year meaning men who
are out of work and who exhibit no
apparent desire for the same, human
fioaters who spend the winter in the
sunshine of the south and the summer
in the sunshine of the north, made
their appearance in Aberdeen yester-
day and were promptly ordered to
move on, unless they would promise to
behave themselves while in this city.
Chief of Police Dick Cameron said
that Aberdeen will tolerate no nom
sense from the wobblies this year.
That they will be perm tied to light"
here, while waiting for the harvest
season to open, but that they will have
to behave or the town will be made so
hot for them that they will be glad to
move into more comfortable quarters.
THE police will keep in close touch
with arrival of any wobblies who
swarm their movement and action, by
night and day and at the first sign OF
petty crime or the annoyance OF
people, by any one Of the cult, the
city will become a poor place for them

ly situated for South Dakota. Were

ly situated for South Dakota. Were
they at the eastern extremity of the
state, visitors would come and 20
without glirnpsing the many beauties
and wonders of Dakota. Now the path
leads across the fertile farm lands of
the eastern part, through the romantic
ranchlands OF the west and across
those mysteries OF nature not mis-
called the Bad Lands"
The time will come when three
great %gravelled, highways will lead
across the state, inviting the tourist
from every state TO visit South Oak
ota. Without local ~jealousies the
people of the entire state should
hasten that day. A southern, a cen
trail, and a northern route should be
provided, ana when they are, the Wis
piled a hundred times. They will
bring with them a shower of gold,
richer than the gold mines of the
Hills, and will spread the fame of
South Dakota from coast to coast.
Every loyal South Dakotan, who
can, should visit the Black Hills. They
are his Hills and he should enjoy
them. BY the same token, he should
boost for them and fet everyone know
that from coast to coast there is no
more beautiful spot, no region more
filled with romance, no place where
the spirit of The West" Is more alive
than in the Black Hills of South
Dakota.

In numerous sections there are

ground that the state hail insurance
department does not pay claims In ex-
cess of loss Is is the case in some of
the insurance corporations, according
to W. n. Camp. Mr.. Van Camp states
that the state department is paying
out to the farmer the money that was
put into the department by the farm
ers and hat the state will pay the
loss sustained and no more. This
money Is the farmers money and the
state will pay only the amount of loss
sustained" says Mr.. Van Camp The
department will pay a 100 per cent
when the loss is 100 per cent"

OLD TIME PUNCH
AGAIN THE ONLY
PATH TO TITLE.
N. Y. Commission Hopes
to Make Champions
Behave
By HENRY L. FARRELL,
United Press Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, October a7.-Old
fashioned socks and taps ON the
chin have been restored by the
New York boxing commission as
the approved and official way of
jarring off ring titles.
Championships in New York will
be changed hereafter in the ring
and not in the private sanctum OF
the office where fatal resolutions
have been passed against several
champions in the past.
Admitting that it had been placed
i'll Il rather foolish position by try
ing to change the old order of
making champions, the commission
will pass at its next meeting new
rule turning the game back to the
system Of sock.
Figuring that the better way to
punish Il boxer would be to strike
at his pocketbook instead of as
saulting his PRIDE, the commission
now plans to keep from working the
champions who will not defend their
title and allow them to keep u
championship which will have no
financial assets.
Any champion i'll the future who
refuses to accept bonafidc chal-
lenge every six months will be sus-
Tended and refused permission to
earn money in the state.
The commission will then arrange
an elimination among the boxers
and offer the winner to the cham
pion. If the champion refuses to
defend his honors, he will be per
manently suspended--but he will
still be the champion.
