THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C.
By EDWARD EMERINE
WNU Features.
«« A TREASURE,” says Web-
star’s dictionary, ‘‘is a valu
able store, accumulation, or reserve
supply; a collection of precious
things.” And South Dakota is a
storehouse of those treasures, a
vast accumulation of nature’s bless
ings, with a reserve supply to last
man forever.
Among the precious things of
South Dakota is the glorious sun it
self, shining from its blue heaven
almost every day in the year. And
precious, too, is the clean, pure air
of its plains and mountains. In its
rich topsoil is the accumulation of
ingredients that produce vast fields
of wheat and corn and fruits. The
lush grass of its ranges, where fat
cattle and sheep feed, is a valu
able store of wealth and content
ment. Beneath the surface is a re
serve supply of minerals, gold and
silver, feldspar and lithium, lig
nite and bentonite.
As though that were not enough,
Sc.:th Dakota has mountains, trout
streams, cabins in the pines, lakes,
waterfalls, colorful canyons, the<^
fragrance of pine and spruce. The
days are cheerfully warm in South
Dakota, with the nights cool and
refreshing. And the Black Hills
have no mosquitoes to take away the
pleasure of being out of doors.
The famed Black Hills! Harney
Peak rises 7,242 feet above sea lev
el, the highest point in the United
States east of the Rockies. Mount
Rushmore has an altitude of 6,200
feet, and on it are sculptured the
heads of Washington, Jefferson, Lin
coln and Theodore Roosevelt. The
largest monument ever conceived
or executed by man, the Mount
Rushmore National Memorial was
sculptured in heroic proportions by
Gutzon Borglum, the late world-re
nowned artist, and is called the
‘‘Shrine of Democracy.” A half-mil
lion visitors come to the monument
each year, and it is one of the most
photographed scenes of all times.
The figures on the solid granite face
are carved in proportion to men 450
feet tall!

M. Q. SHARPE
Governor of South Dakota
Born in Marysville, Kan., Janu
ary 11, 1888, Governor Sharpe

served four years in the U. S.
navy, and has been a surveyor,
newspaper man, lawyer, soldier in
World War I, and has had varied

stretch 125 miles and are approxi
mately 50 miles wide. There is Cus
ter state park, with 128,000 acres of
mountains, gorges, lakes and
streams, and 90,000 acres under
fence, with buffalo, elk, deer, bighorn
sheep, Rocky mountain goats, ante
lope and other animals roaming
unmolested. President Coolidge had
his summer White House there in
1927, and left reluctantly. ‘‘I’m
coming back," he promised.
Skeletons of Ancient Beasts.
The Big Badlands covering a mil
lion acres lie east of the Black Hills,
and is one of the most important
fossil deposits of prehistoric life.
Fossils of alligators, rhinoceroses,
hippopotamuses, saber-toothed ti
gers, three-toed horses and other
long-extinct animals are found here
and displayed in most of the impor
tant museums.
East and northeast of the Bad
lands, South Dakota is mostly roll
ing prairie, falling to lowest levels
in the northeastern part of the state.
Big Stone Lake is the lowest point,
967 feet above sea level. The great
Missouri river drains most of the
state, cutting South Dakota into two
almost equal parts as it flows
through it.
The agricultural treasure house of
America is filled with corn, cane,
wheat, oats, barley, flax and fruits
from South Dakota. The vast plains
area has a big dairy industry, and
beef cattle are grown in all parts of
the state. The production of live
stock is the main feature of the
state’s extensive agricultural in
dustry. Hot Springs is the head
quarters of horse-breeding, and is
also known for its medicinal wa
ters. At the annual Black Hills
Round-Up at Belle Fourche, real
cowboys from the surrounding cat
tle ranges compete in riding and
roping.
The mineral resources of South
Dakota include more than 60 basic
minerals, including gold, silver, tin,
zinc and others. Many of these de
posits are not of economic impor
tance at the moment, but will be
come important in the future. At
any rate, they remain in South Da
kota’s Treasure House, a reserve
supply whenever the nation needs
them. At Lead is the largest pro
ducing gold mine in the United
States. The “Days of ’76” celebra
tion at Deadwood re-enacts many
of the events of the historic gold
rush days, when Wild Bill, Dead-

wood Dick, Calamity Jane and oth
er Wild West notables were seen
on the streets of this mining cen
ter. A pageant descriptive of the
Red Man’s history of creation is
held each year at Custer and called
“Gold Discovery Days.”
Settlement of South Dakota came
slowly, although the Verendrye broth
ers, Frenchmen from Canada, vis
ited the region in 1743. In 1804 and
1806 the Lewis and Clarke expedition
followed the Missouri river through
out the area. Fort Teton was estab
lished in 1817 on the site of Fort
Pierre, and in 1831 the American Fur
company pushed a steamer into
the territory.
Both plainsmen and mountain
men helped build South Dakota and
bring to light its treasures. That
there might always be intelligent ap
preciation of the state, seven institu
tions of higher learning, all state-
supported, were founded. They are
the University of South Dakota, Ver
million; South Dakota State college,
Brookings; School of Mines, Rapid
City; and four normal schools. There
are five junior colleges in the state.
Young, thriving and rich, South
Dakota does not hoard its wealth,
nor does it allow waste. Its treas
ures are open to all—for the re
serves are ample.

Supper Plans Given
As Aid in Planning
To Serve Fifty
Social calendars get very active
during the summer months because
vacations and
w e a t h er offer
such a grand op
portunity for get
ting together a
big party. Per
haps the Sunday
school picnic is
just around the corner, or perhaps
the ladies’ aid is planning a big
treat for their husbands soon.
Whatever the occasion, you’ll
surely want to put forth your very
best cookery and serve everyone
amply. This will call for some
careful planning, and also, large
quantity recipes.
If the church has a kitchen fitted
with large quantity cooking uten
sils, plan to make generous use of
it. Meats and vegetables can best
be prepared there. Some member
may wish to contribute enough in
dividual salads and perhaps cakes
and pies to make up for the rest
of the meal.
Good planning which takes into
cor .'ration every angle will make
the .flair a successful one. Recruit
plenty of help so that no two or
three women are t^d to the kitchen
range all the time. Everyone will
have a better time, if all have some
leisure.

Lynn Says:
Let’s serve eggs: There’s vari
ety and appetite appeal in eggs
if you’ll serve them in the fol
lowing ways:
Use these fillings for omelets:
creamed tuna fish or seafood;
minced cooked ham, cooked pork
sausage or deviled ham; sauteed
mushrooms, creamed peas, as
paragus or other vegetables;
grated cheese, creamed chicken
and mushrooms, jelly, jam or
marmalade; fried onions; or
broiled bacon.
When you poach eggs, serve
them in corned beef hash nests,
spinach nests, potato nests or
french toast made of stale bread.
Scramble eggs with bits of
diced American cheese, frizzled
bacon, shredded ham, or fold in
some leftover vegetables.
Bake eggs with bacon, sausage
or some of the cold meat cuts
and serve as a main dish for sup
per with salad and dessert.
Fry eggs slowly and serve
with quickly broiled cold cuts or
waffles, pancakes or toast.
