Sioux City Tribune, 1: The latest
move of the South Sioux Cityi coun
cil to induce the Service company to
pave between its car tracks in that
town has failed. At the council
meeting Wednesday night the busses,
the mojarity of which run fiom Sioux
City to Crystal lake, were barred
from using the paved streets jn So.
Sioux City. This ordinance would
be effective for 30 days. It would
be continued after that period if the
Service company agreed to pave be
tween its car tracks. This ruling
would not benefit the Service com
pany enough to make it worthwhile
to consider the project, according to
E. L, Kirk, manager of the company.
Traffic to the lake is heavy only in
the summer and does not materially
reduce the revenues accruing to the
company from this line throughout
the year, it was exnlained. It Im

whose line in the Nebraska town is
now being brought to grade with

to pave between the tracks. Planks

uiu. fuming 10 uaKoia county in
1879 and to oouth Sioux City two
years later, Mr. Dougherty's residence
in the Nebraska suburb has been one
of unique nature. During the forty
three years he lived in Dakota coun

the town of Covington, now South
Sioux City, which in its time was, na
tionally known for ttsainbling re
sults. He saw the ferry boat vanish
and the huge steel structure known
as the combination bridge take its

place. Looking across the river he
saw Sioux City grow from a village
to a city. Although engaged in far
ming during mose of his residence in
Dakota county, Mr. Dougherty's life
extended over a period which has
j been marked by changes which are
oniy remembrances ol one generation
and unknown, as far as actual knowl
edge is concerned, to a newer gener
ation. When the combination bridge
first spanned the Missouri river, Mr.
Dougherty was employed by the
Chicago and Northwestern railroad,

From the Farm Bureau News:
Miss Jessie Green, from the- State
Club Department, has been visiting
the Girls Clubs in tho countv. Miss
Green has helped each club in work
ing up the demonstration part of
their program. With encouragement
from the local people, tho clubs
should put on some creditable, work,
even though they were late in organ
izing. All of tho Boys and Girls clubs of
Dakota County will be inter sled in
hearing that the Farm Bu cau are
planning to have a "real" i cnie at
Crystal lake July 15th. Every mem
ber and every leader should plan on
being there because they will miss
something if thoy do not. Practice
up on yells and songs so that you can
let the other clubs know you are
there. There will be gunes and
contests for everyone and gcod tunes
for all.
There will be two demotcitrations
put on by a poultry club ami a sew
ing club, so that the clubs that base
not done any team demonstration
work will have a chance to learn
from these teams.
The Farm Bureau hopes to have
two films showing the girU and boys
at the International Stock show at
Chicago last winter, and also a
film showing the club folks at the
conference at Lincoln the jrst week
of June. Dakota County had five
club members at this confjrence, so
that some familiar faces w'JI proba
bly be seen on the screen.
A hearty invitation Is ijuoii to the
parents of tho boys and Kirls to at
tend this picnic with thorn. Bring

dishes.

Miss Mather explained tho work as
it was being done over tho state and
how tho agent can be assisted in her
program by the aid of clothing, nu
trition, health and home management
specialists. The idea was empha
sized that after a demonstration had
been given by either the home agent
or a specialist tho practice was to be
made general in the homo and re
ports of such work made from time
i to time by local leaders selected from
each group for this purpose.
Miss Harris brought greetings from

to talk over the proposition or to
consult either the agriculture or
home agent on a subject whicli it
was tlieir business to give them in

Resolution of Each Local Community to
. Insure Co-operation in Itself.
By HERBERT C. HOOVER, Secretary of Commerce
There are some economic ilifllciillies nriBing from the war that will
no doubt solve themselves with time, hut nn infinite amount of misery
could he suved if we lind the sumo spirit of spontaneous co-opunition in
every community for reconstruction that wo hud in war.
CJovernment departments can ut leust try to do something to inspire
such renewed co-operation. For instunce, we havo three or four million
idle men walking the streets, and'al the sumo time we are short more than
n million homes; our railways are fur below their need in equipment; our
power plants, waterways und highways are all far behind our national
needs in normal commerce.
To apply this idle labor to our capital equipment is one of the first
problems of the country. Us solution involves constructive action in many
directions, but among other things definite resolution of each local com
munity to insure co-operation in itself. In the building trades, for in
stance, a "get together" of labor, capital, manufacturers and contractors
in every loculity to eliminate mispractices and bring down the expenso
of housing would comprise tho first step of recovery of re-employment.

The junior choir under the direc
tion of Mrs. M. G. Learner, favoied
ua witli n song last Sunday morning.
These little folks have secured a song
boon called "Rainbow Songs," nntl tho
pastor has suggested that this chorus
hu labeled tho "Rninbow Division" of
tho Salem church.
The pastor was glad to be ablo to
preach last Sunday morning after'
two weeks with a sorb throat. Wo
wish to express our appreciation to
Mr. M. G, Learner in this public man
ner for the assistance he so gladly
rendered us these two Sundays in
reading sermons for us. Another
thing which made us glad last Sun
day is that tho rain did not como
early enough in tho day to soriouBly
interfere with tho services. We nro
always sorry when something inter
venes to hinder the morning worship.
On Tjmrsday evenlhgj.the tyrown j&
Family Orcliestfriwill give an enter''
talnment at the Salem church under
the auspices of the pakotn Precinct
Farm Bureau. It will consist of
songs, orchestrations, and recitations.
The entertainment will begin at 8

Tho orchestra has ploased other com

when they havo favored us at various
times. We speak for thorn your
good wilj and patronage Thursday

Tho subject of next Sunday's ser

Rape In Corn Good Feed
A good many farmers who hog
down or run sheep in corn during

it is probably better not to sow it
until tho latter part of July. It
may be sowed up to tho middle of
August, tho season and maturity of
tho corn having much to do with tho
time. Tho corn should be mature
enough to suffer no Setback from tho
presence of tho rope. If the sea

feed will be produced in a few weeks, '
Rape in corn helps to givo hogs or
sheep a good btart and .provides con
siderable feo'l until .frost, especially
if there is plenty of rain during Au
gust and September. Farmers who
have given rape a trial believe it is
worth while.
