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! North and south the Black Hills Sylvan Lake in the Black Hills. M. Q. SHARPE Governor of South Dakota Born in Marysville, Kan., Janu ary 11, 1888, Governor Sharpe taught school for two years, 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 other business interests. 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- HOMESTAKE MINE ... At Lead, S. D., known all over the world as the greatest producer of gold ever discovered. 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. The Big Badlands.

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.

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.
