BETTER ROUTE
THROUGH HILLS
—. ..... I
Would Take in More of
Points of Interest to
Tourists
Pierre, S. D„ Aug. 26.—(Special)—
In order to give tourists a better
chance to see the scenic part of South
Dakota and for the purpoose of bring
ing about a closer co-operation be
tween South Dakotans for the ben
efit of South Dakota, plans are be
ing made to give a better routing
through the Black Hills for the Black
and Yellow trail, eliminating an un
interesting portto nof Wyoming In
which there are fed or no towns,
providing one direct route and one
aptlonal route that will give an ex
cellent opportunity for the tourist
to Bee the Black Hills.
At the present time the trail goes
through a portion of the northern
hills, where the Is much excellent
scenery and points of Interest, but
after leaving Deadwood the trail
breaks southwest and shortly enters
Wyoming. running through that
state to Newcastle, with nothing of
interest from & scenic standpoint.
The plun Is to have two routes
out of Rapid City thut may well be
advertised by the Black and Yel
low Aratl association and give the
tourist a chance to take In many
other points of interest In the north
ern hills und In the southern hills,
too, with very little loss of distance,
or none at all, and strike such points
of interest as Harney peak, Sylvan
lake. Jewel cave. Custer State park
and the biggest gold mine in ths
world at Deadwood, the Homestake.
One route out of Rapid City would
follow the present routing to Dead
wood, but from there to strike south
over the Denver-Deadwood highway
to Custer and the state park, thence
west over Hell canyon to Newcastle.

Study of Oceans Proving Both
Practical and Entertaining
From the Christian Science Monitor.
Not alone is it for purposes of trade or pleasure that men go
down to the sea in ships. The number of expeditions that are fitted
out to study the sea itself, its bed, its temperatures and currents,
and its animal life, is constantly increasing. Before the war the
popularly best-known amateur oceanographer was the Prince of
Monaco, who each year spent part of his income from the gambling
casino at Monte Carlo on personal investigations at sea, traveling
in his private yacht as far as New York. Near his palace at Monaco
he also built a marine museum to house his collections, which, in
their realm, are as interesting as the crowds about the gamiug
tables. His example is now being followed by a certain American
millionaire, who intends to use his pleasure boat far ocean research
w«rk. The land has been pretty well explored. It ii 4he sea which
is the real “terra incognita.”
In general there are two main objectives in this study which
appeal to the lay intellect: the effects of ocean currents and ocean
temperature on the weather, and the location of new supplies of
sea food. To our knowledge of the first the various Arctic ex
plorers have already added much, and they are eager to add more.
The present difficulties of the American aviators in the northern
seas are sure to stimulate an even greater interest in this subject.
We know too little aboui' the Far North, where, we are told, our
winter weather comes from.
Of still greater practical value is the inquiry into the marine
animal life and the possibilities of new sources of food. If the
world’s population is to continue to increase as fast as it has in
the recent past, this subject will rapidly become more and more
important. Over-populated countries, like Japan, where the soil
is already subjected to an extra-intensive cultivation, may here
find unexpected relief. Before the World war the herring catch
in the North Sea was of great importance to Germany, and it»
loss contributed to the defeat. This spring’s cod catch off the
northern Norwegian coast has been estimated at 34,900,000 fishes,
and its value, when dried, at 61,000,000 kroner, a tidy sum for a
small country. “The sea is an acre that can be cultivated hori
zontally aswell as vertically,” an American government natural
scientist in Washington remarked recently, and at a fishing con
ference held this summer at Odense, in Denmark, a project was
considered to restock the North Sea artificially, like an inland lake.
But there re plenty of areas that have not yet been fished out.
The University of Minnesota has for some time sent annual expedi
tions to study the marine life of the Pacific off the Vancouver coast.
This year a larger staff than ever was sent out. Their reports will
be worth waiting for. In Washington the naturalists of several
departments are planning to co-operate with the navy in outfitting
a ship to study the Caribbean and central Atlantic. As fishing rights
iscrease in value, the time may come when international boundary
problems may become mere acute at sea than on land.
TOO LATH
From Indianapolis News.
My daughter and I went forth one
day
Where the white light ehone on the
world's bright way
And the glamour of life was round
us;
I had decked her In gaudy and rich
array,
Her step was proud and heart was
Kay,
And the eyes of the world soon
found ua.
But the tempter was there with hi#
deadly dart
And it found its way to my daugh
ter’s heart
Ae the brilliant light enwrapped her;
He saw not the daughters in mod
est dress.
But flattered my child under sweet
duress
Till his fatal wiles entrapped h«r.
And down where the tempter coils
and creeps
I saw her dragged into deeper deeps
As his siren song he sung her;
Enrobed in the garments my hands
had wrought
And filled with the pride my life
had brought
To the nethermost depths he flung
her.
For her soul no raiment I ever had
bought;
It was naked, distorted, untamed,
untaught,
And on life’s bleak hills had wan
dered; . ,
Rich robes for the soul surpassingly
fair
In the Master’s house had been of
fered there
While in folly my life was squan
dered.
From her cradle through life she
had her way;
I had yielded the scepter day by
day , . „
As I dreamed that to yield was
kindness;
But our shorter vision m time will
flee: .. .
With the wider perspective that
comes to me,
Through a mother’s tears \ now can
see
That yielding was

Long BaHot Faulty.
From the Kansas City Star.
“You urged us to vote In the pri
mary,” several persons have written,
to the Star. “But when we went
Into the booth we were given a ilst
of names a yard long. Most of the
candidates we never had even heard
of. It waa impossible for ua to vote
in tell igently. So why trouble to
vote at all?"
Of course the obvious answer is.
that It Is better to vote Intelligently
on a few candidates—and most
voters were able to do that—than
not to vote at all. For that would
have turned the primary over to
thc bosses.
But there Is another side to the
matter. The chief reason why It
has proved Impossible to reduce the
number of elective officers so voters
may choose intelligently is that the
professional politicians are against
It. They want a large .lumber c
officers to be voted on in order to
confuse the voters, to give mor
power to the machine, and to bring
it support from the candidates who
are running with its approval.
There IS no reason in the world for
electing a coroner, or a county
surveyor, or a state treasurer or a
secretary of state. The people do
not know the candidates and are
not In a position to choose between
them. Men of better ability could
generally be had If the-»e officers;

Most people regard ants as a.

only the fragrant scented heart ha*
any commercial value, and to trans
pert the whole log would make even
that not worth the cost of removal.
So the trees, after being stripped
of their branches, are allowed to
lie where they have fallen. The
soft, sappy wot • which is useless
In commerce, attracts the billions
of ants who Infest the forest, and
to whom it Is a tit-bit. In helping
themselves the ants help the san
dal-wood merchant, for they leave
the hard heart cf the trunk strip

and thus do for nothing the work
of many human iabo lers.
