COMMENT & DISCOMMENT
After a rouple of glorious weeks
lining the life of Reilly, we're back at
work. The difference may not le ap
parent to everyone, Lut we notice it
more or less. We hope it will con
tinue to rrow less nnd less and that
in time wc may get back to normalcy,'
but at this writing, as the country j
correspondents suy, there ia little im-J
provement in our cond.tion. We ure
not yet sufficiently recovered to think
f dischnrg:ng the nurse, although
c.ble and willing to take a littlo nour

marks of mountains. The only thinjj
that was lacking was a timber-line, '
but if the South Dakota authorities '
were on to their job, and fully real
ised the value of the tourist trade, they
would go out and buy one.
It was a grand trip. We expected
that sort of a trip. For a time there
was some thought of taking the jit-,
ney and disguising our.vlf as a tour-!
ivt. To do this, all that is necessary
is to don a Fult of khaki material and
let the dirt accumulate on the hnndtj
sind in the ears. This is not difficult)
for a printer to accomplish. lle'ai
naturally disposed that way. We
never knew but one printer who ha- (
bitually wore a clean collar and this
man had a rich w;fe and didn't worry
iibout the laundry bills. We don't re-1
memler much about the fellow except
that he came to n bad end. If cur
memory serves us rightly, he quit the
printing game and sank to a point
where he was willing to live in com
parative idleness managing a hotel.
Jlis printer friends all cut him dead,
and in time he got so tliat he drove
his Pierce Arrow on the iruin street '
in order to escape the sorrowful ryes
of his one-time friend. There ouiht
to be a warning in thin, Lut for the
life of us we can't think of one. How
ever, no matUr at least not much.
To us, who had been brought up re
ligiously in the belief that there are no
real mountains in the world outs'de of
the Kockies, the Black especially
around Sylvan Lake, were a revela
tion. The man who named them must
have been nn unimaginative, sort of a
cuss, or else he was fearfully near
sighted. We have seen a mountain or
two in our comparatively young life,
and these hills have mo.-t of the ear-
Sylvan lake itself i a wonderful
place. It may be that we looked upon
it through rose-colored glasses. Prob
ably we diil. Everything looked roseate
about that time and docs still, for
that matter. We get rather vexed at
our friends for using that roe-co!ored
simile so often, but so far there have
been no open ruptures. A word of
warning is never amiss, however. As
Cousin Kgberf, would say, we can be
pushed, ju-.t no far and no farther.
We're happy, even if we are a bit daft
just now, and we don't want to be re
minded about this dream stuff. Lay off,
please, mister.
to his trousers while sliding down a
mountain. His foot slipped, and some
thing had to give way. There were
no barrels convenient, and he was
walking sort of sideways, with averted
face.
For those who need a short vacation,
with fair fishing, good food and pleas
ant company, we commend Sylvan
Lake Hotel and Mrs. Peters. It's like
visiting Aunt Mary's and one leaves
with the same sort of regret. It may
bo that this ort of hospitality Is due
to the fact that the hotel usually has
half a dozen honeymooners among its
guests, but we don't think so. It '
seemed the most natural thing in the
world.
about the campflre, they talked loudly,
and anyway, their voices carried pretty
far in the stillness. We could hear
them tell about it, and after a time we
know just as much about it an though
we had climbed it. There are a lot of
funny signs along the weary way, and
after one has gained the peak there is
a marvelous view clear to Hot
Springs. Just why anyone should
work three hours in a hot sun to look
ut a town a number of miles away i?
mystifying. Especially Hot Springs.
We have seen it at close range, and
our own private opinion is that it isn't
worth it. But don't tell the folks a
the hotel that. They are still our
friends.
This Sylvan Lake is a disappoint
ment, considered purely a a lake.
Most of tho:--e mountain lake are.
We've seen lakes in the Rockies that
wou'dn't make a good-sized duck pond
in the sand hills. The men who frame
it up on the tourists tack up a sign
calling some little buffalo wallow "The
Devil's Cauldron," or some such fanci
ful title, and people come from miles
and miles Just to gaze on it. Almost
any lake, given the rugged mountain
setting, is beautiful.
When we stop to think it over, Syl
van Lake couldn t have any other
name. That name jut fits it In
ze, it's about a fourth that of
Broncho, but it is half-surrounded by
iffs that rise in sheer straight walls
to almost unbelievable heights. It is
beautiful. The old philosophers used
to say, in admiring tones, "Ain't na
ture wonderful" and they had a right
to ask the iiuestion.

Sylvan T.ake wasn't due entirely to
ature. She provided the setting, but
man got busy and provided the lake.
Naturally he was limited by the way
the rocks had been piled up, but the
fellows who had this in charge did
wonderfully well in the limited space
that was left to them. They tell us
that the state of South Dakota has
established a state park, containing
some thirty-two thousand acres, and
that Sylvan Lake is now a part of it.
They are building a winding road
through the mountains out from Cus
ter to reach it, nnd in the course of
another year will have one portion
of the park, at least, that the average
tourist won't dare to miss.

The hotel cook is a human sort of a
fellow, too. He can cook, which is
something that can't be said of all
those who follow his profession. Now
and then, if he takes a liking to a
fellow, he can be induced to mix up
an extra loaf of extraordinarily palat
able homemade bread, or a pie. The
girls who serve the dinners in the little
pavilion, and pick wild flowers for the
tables, seem like members of the fam
ily. It really isn't a hotel, and one
feels rather backward about offering
them money for it. However, we sus
pect that this illusion would pass
qu'ckly enough if the formality were
neglected.
If one is disposed to climb moun
tains, there is Harney peak. Someone
with an ear for statistics said some
thing about its height. The South Da
kota people seem enormously proud of
the fact that Harney peak was turned
up a little higher than any other peak
this side of the Rockies, and if a tour
ist leaves without climbing it, they are
apt to look down on him. We earnestly
advise others to follow our course, and
lie about it.
This is a sketchv Fort of a descrip
tion of our trip, but it will have tc
serve. Our impressions were hazy
seen, as they were, through rose-col
ored glasses hnng it, they've got iu
to saying it and we're still under the
spell of those rocks. We climbed a
few of the smaller ones, and enjoyed
it. You can go as far as you like.
For a time, we were simply wild to
climb that mountain. Then, as day
after day, tourists straggled into camp
past the cottage after six or seven
hours on the road, their footsteps lag
ging, their hide peeling off and their
general appearance indicating a lack
of iron in the blood, our enthusiasm
waned. The auto tourists are a merry
lot, and sometimes, in the evening
Deference to the memory of Col.
Frederick W. Galbraith, Jr., national
commander of the American Iegion,
who was killed in an automobile acci

by legionnaires throughout the world
in many ways.
In addition to the order from nation
al headquarters of the American Le
gion, directing that all post and de
partment colors be draped with black
for a period of thirty days, many posts
are paying honor to their dead leader
in other ways. Members of the St
Louis, Mo., post have agreed to wear
crepe armbands for thirty days. Many
legionnaires are wearing small black
ribbons with their legion buttons.
Fosts of the Illinois department held a
period of silence at their first meetings
following news of the commander's
death.
All posts have drafted resolutions
of regret and hundreds of these have
been sent to Colonel Galbraith's widow.

So near as we can tell, from twelve
lays' close observation, very few tour
ists are missing it now. In our cot
tage, in a little glen a few rods dis
tant from the lake, there was a con
stant stream of tourists, in jitneys
and khaki, in limousines and silks,
camping near the lake.

Success is a Stranger to the
Man who would Not Save
The man who refuses to see the wisdom of saving consci
entiously is as near success as the two poles. If he thinks
that it takes a lifetime to get a little of this earth's goods
he is also mistaken.
It's true that it requires many years for an oak tree to at
tain its full growth but it finally becomes a great tree. You
cannot see it grow but nevertheless it grows. It may take
some little time to save a thousand dollars, but it can be
accomplished by saving systematically.

MOST everybody knows the
easy-going sort of man who
never takes a tire seriously until he
gets a blow-out.
How long he will resist universal
tire education is a question.
But this is sure
More people are finding out every
day that between leaving things
to luck and getting real economy
there is a big difference.
Many a car-owner has come to
U. S. Tires because he couldn't afford
to keep on paying that difference.
Probably seven out of ten users
of U. S. Tires came to them only
after they'd had enough of "dis
counts", "bargain offers", "clearance
sales of surplus stocks" and other
similar appeals.
They have found economy and
they stick to it
They pay a net price not "some
thing off list" that may noi mean
anything in the first place.
They get fresh, Jive tires, being
made and shipped while this mes
sage is being written.
No matter where they live there's
a nearby U. S. Dealer with his
nearby U. S. Factory Branch.
U. S. Tires keep moving.
No opportunity to get old and
dried out. No shifting here and there
trying to find a market.
Every U. S. Tire a good tire,
wherever you find it anywhere in
the country.
Because the U. S. policy is a good
policy that serves the car-owner all
the time.
Doing the very best for him that
human good faith can do.
THE U. S.
CHAIN TREAD
One of the few tires of
which it may be said that
they deliver economy
year in end year out and
tire after tire.
The U. & Chain Tread
gives sufficient traction
on all ordinary road sur
faces. It is probably ths
handsomest, and by all
odds the most popular,
of the whole U, S, fabric
