cultural Committee.
2. A special message from

FISHER SECURES LARGE
SUM FOR C. B. HIWAY
Helena, Mont.,— Follovving a
hearing at which various interest
appeared, including officials of the
Park to Park Hiway, Roosevelt
Hiway, Yellowstone Trail and Cus-
ter Battlefield Hiway, before the
Montana Hiway Commission and
Forest Officials of the state, SIOO,-
JOO out of the $325,000 available
vvas allotted for additional road
.vork through Glacier National j
Park, in view of the fact that there ,
vvere forty-eight delegates present
ml seventeen projects wens asked
for totaling one million seven hun-
dred thousand dollars and the
’ommission only had three hun-
dred and twenty-five thousand to
ppropriate, the Custer Battlefield
Hiway officials reel very jubilant
when considered they received
marly one third of the entire
amount available.
Secretary W. D. Fisher of the
Custer Battlefield Hiway and orig-
inator of thd Hiway made a strong
appeal before the commission air-
ing the cohioletion of t.he road
hrough Glfaeier National Park,
showing figures where it would
bring from Pacific coast points in-
;o Montana, Wyoming, South Dak-
ota, lowa and Nebraska an addi-
tional .million tourists.
As it is now there are no thru
automobile roads through Glacier
National Park and you are com-
oelled to ship your automobile
"hrough. The traffic from Canada
and Pacific donst points pass up
sracticallv the entire section now’
traversed by ahe C. B. H. and Sec-
retary Fisher showed in a convin-
cing manner the importance of'
finishing this road at once in order
to help the great northwest. He
d owed 'others »"•> prominent i
Eastern Automobile Clubs where
hey aie willing to favor the Cus-
ter Battlefield Hiway over any;
other route because of the scenic |
attractions, fine road bed and well ;
marked hiway. if the road is finish-j
*d through the Park at an early j
date. The contest for the nionev J
available was warmly debated,
*ach Hiway Association bringing j
out some Vjprv interesting points,
but the C. B. H. brought home the
bifrcrpst slice of bacon.
The decision of the commission
is a comnl :”*ont to t'*e Custer

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTE&
(By County Superintendent)
The returns from the sale ot
seals and health bonds are still
coining in. Several school boards
have sent in checks and warrants
for the bonds. The Cottonwood
Ind. School List, is the first and at
present the only one to return
the bond which was sent to all
school boards at the beginning of
the drive. .Several teachers have
reported large sales of seals. The,
entire list of returns will bo avail-i
able by March Ist it is hoped.
At the conference of the County j
Superintendents of the Black Hills j
division of the 9tate, held in Ra-
pid City last week, there were a
good many discussions of educa-
tional problems.
Mr. Guhin, Director of Rural
School YVork, gave an interesting
discussion of the examination cur- j
ve which he thinks should be prac-!
tieally uniform throughout thei
state. He believes that the mini- j
mum amount of failure in the final j
eight grade examination should be ;
about 10 per cent while
_
the maxi-
mum should be about 35 per cent.
He based this outline on the fact i
that in no school in the state is
there less than eight months term
of school and similarily in every
rural school there is a maximum
average of nine months. All
things considered he feels that we
should be fable to establish a re-
cord which shall indicate the class
of work done in the rural schools
of the various counties. Last year
he showed that the failures were
all the way from ti |>er cent to 55
per cent in the various counties.
Mr. Shaw discussed the Sterling-
Hughes Towner Education Bill ami
wMle no formal action was taken
by the superintendents the bell
met. with the approval of the
group. -
It may be of interest to teachers
land parents Xs> know that the
eighth grade examinations will be
given on Mav 22-23 this year.
At an informal meeting of the
assembled superintendents the fol-
lowing resolution was drawn up:
o
County Superintendent, J. M.j Woods and family went to Wan-
blee to attend a district teachers
institute last Saturday. He re-
ports a very enthusiastic meeting
with the following teachers pres-
ent: Miss Mendenhall and Mrs.
Enders of the Wanblee school;
Mrs. Burke of Hisle school; Miss
Thomson, Garner school* Anna| Thomsen, Herr her school: Mrs.
‘Trask, Rock school; Prof. Roberge,
1 Sperrv school; Mrs. Richardson,
President Harding school.
An Oratorical and Atheletie
Association was perfected with
Mrs. Trask as president. Miss
Mendenhall. Secretary, and Miss
Thomsen Treasurer. A contest
and school exhibit will be held
somewhere in the county in April
or Mar.
LOCAL CREDIT CORPORATION
Last week The Jackson Countv¦ Agricultural Credit Corporation
: was organized at Kadoka for the
purpose of taking advantage of
the provisions of the Federal In-
; termediatc Credit Bank law. The
Intermediate Credit Bank was
created under an amendment to
the Federal Farm Land Bank Law
and is oper&t d in connection with
the Federal Land Banks, (Act
March -Ith, 11*23, and is a very new
thing.
t It appears that in other localities
where the people have taken ad-
vantage of this law a great moa.v
I ure of relief has been afforded toihe financial conditions in such
communities. Under the provi-
sions of this law Chattel loans
are made to the new organiza-
tion which in turn re-discounts the| loans with the Federal Intermedi-
' ate Credit Bank at Omaha. The
i rnto of interest to the borrowers
!is seven percent. Each borrower
! takes out stock in the Credit Cor-j noration to the amount of five norjcent of the loan made him. This
; is similar to thto arrangement in| the Land Bank loans.
The loans are all instK*cted In(inspectors sept out by the Intor-
; mediate Credit Bank at Omaha.
; The securitv must consist of
! cattle, sheen, hop's, grain, feed and
! hay. It is hoped that by means of
’this new organization it will be
possible to take up and refinance| enotyrh loans to great Iv relieve
the nrcssure on the community
and the local banks and business
This organization is not dorien-
ed to absorb *r lot of worthless
: naner accumulated hv O*o banks injthe past ho* to he’n the farmerj who is working end saving andj needs to be enrried o'one in n go-
: me* enterprise until he is able in
! an orderly \yav to work out.
CHURCH NOTES FEB. 10TH.
A church advertisement reads:
“YVhy wait for a hearse in which
to go to church; why not go when
you can go on foot”. While
the church is here to receive
babes by baptism, give, proper
burial to the dead, the cost ofbuilding and maintainance does
not warrant the use merely for
tho above mentioned purposes.
The preacher hates to urge church
attendance lest people think he
wants them out to hear his ser-
mons. But the sermons are but a
nortion of worship. Anti worship
is man’s perogative anti for this
he was made by his Creator.
Without the privileges of worship,
man performs hut a small portion
of ms normal, God-given functions.

FAIRVIFW MASS MEETING
Cottonwood, S. Sak.:—A large mass
meeting was held by the farmt*rs
at the Fairview Community Hall
Se.tur<)%v evenimr. Februarv 2. for
President Coolidge $ Tribute
To Abraham Lincoln
A proclamation issued January 30th, 1910, by Calvin
Coolidge, then Governor of Massachusetts
Fivescore and ten years ago that Divine
Providence, which infinite repetition has made only
the more a miracle, sent into the world a new life,
destined to save a nation. No star, no sign, foretold
his coming. About his cradle all was poor and
mean save only the source of all great men, the love
of a wonderful woman. When she faded away in
his tender years, from her deathbed in humble f
poverty she dowered her son with greatness. There
can be no proper observance of a birthday which
forgets the mother. Into his origin, as into’ his life,
men long have looked and wondered. In wisdom
great, but in humility greater, in justice strong, bat incompassion stronger, he became a leader of
men by being a follower of the truth. He overcame evil with good. His presence filled the nation.
He broke the might cf oppression. He restored a race to its birthright. His mortal frame has
vanished,but his spirit increases with the increasing years, the richest legacy of the greatest century.
Men show by what they worship what they are. It is no accident that before the great
example of American manhood our people stand with respect ami reverence. And in accordance
with this sentiment our laws have provided lor a formal recognition of the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln; for in him is revealed our ideal, the hope of our country fulfilled.
Now, therefore, by the authority of Massachusetts, the 12th day of February is set apart as
LINCOLN DAY
and its observance recommended as befits the beneficiaries of his life and admirers of his character,
in places of education and worship wherever our people meet one with another.
GIVEN at the Executive Chamber, in Boston, this 30th day of January, in the year of Our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and of the independence of the United States
of America the one hundred and forty-third.
CALVIN COOLIDGE
IS NOW A GOING CONCERN
To any one who is familiar with
the great improvement w'hieh the
! local people have made in their
financial affairs in the last two
i years it is cv dent that this oppor-
tunity to gft their loans taken up

(with a chan: -¦ to renew for a year
iis a real boon. ft is the hope of
the organize*! ; that a goodly turn-
| her of the l(*nl people will take
advantage of this law.
Those elesi : uu loans will call at
their local bank and acquaint
themselves \ th the provisions ol
the law and make their applica-
tions for loans. It is honed that
