century. Schools are thus rendered
independent of sndowments and sub
scriptions. The educational institu-
tions of the state rank well with those
Of older states In efficiency and meth
DDS of instruction.
The institution which, by reason of
its efficiency and thorough equip
ment, as well as its attendance, ranks
first in the state, is the Agricultural
college at Brookings. Affiliated with
it is the United States experiment
station, with branch stations at Mel
lette and Highmore. And not only
does IL rank first in the state, but In
facilities for scientific research and
experimentation it isamong the best
In the whole northwest. In fact, no
school west of Chicago has such COM
plete laboratories for the study OF
chemistry, botany, physics, zoology,
pharmacy, soil physics, mechanic arts,
etc, as has this institution. Every
department is equipped with the most
modern appliances, and in every one
is a specialist who devotes his entire
time to his particular department,
The college is endowed with 100000
acres Of land. None of this has been
sold as yet. Appropriations are made
by the federal government from the
Morrill, and Hatch funds, and the
state legislature also makes appropri-
ations at its biennial meeting.
The general policy Of the college is
to keep in close touch with the com
mon school system Of the state.
With this end in view, classes are ar
ranged to which young person is as
signed after completing the work Of
the common school. Thus the youth
of the state are given an opportunity
to become literally and practically
educated, especially in the various
sciences. But while the work is
largely scientific, it is Of such diver

Farmers don't want to forget that
spring is soon here, when we all
should be prepared to put In our seed
in the best possible manner, and after
this open, dry winter no one would
ever think OF doing his seeding with
out an up-to-date shoe drill. Every
farmer can have the very best, latest
improved, up-to-date, light running
and most durable drill now on the
market, and that at very reasonable
price, by giving an order at once to
Geo. G.. Rude, the Brookings implc-
ment and machinery man, for =
Fountain City Drill. II anyone
should doubt this they should 20 at
once to Mr.. Rude's machine stand on
Main and Williams streets, Brookings,
look over the sample and II found
satisfactory, leave an order for ma
chine, take it home, try it and be con-
WINGED. There will also be samples at
White and possibly in other surround
ing towns. 36tf

Justice for Railway Postal Clerks.

Justice for Railway Postal Clerks.
A bill for the reclassi fication of the
railway mail service has been intro
duced in congress which Is designed
to remedy the injustice done under
the present act passed 10 1915.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Tawney, of Minnesota, and
en- bodies the ideas and desires OF the
railway postal clerks. 1t is now be-
fore the committee on postoffices and
post roads. 1t divides the railway
postal clerks into ten classes with sal
aries advancing with each class from
$500 year in the first class to 81, 800
In the tenth. 1t deals In detail with
the duties OF each class and the order
of promotion Strict civil service
principles control the service through
out under this bill, and the postal
railway clerks earnestly desire its
adoption. They are a class apart,
doing the public great service un-
seen and comparatively unknown by
it. Domestic life is made almost inn
possible by their duties, and the dam
ger to life and limb, the incident to
all railway service, Is ever before
them. Their duties are important,
responsible, arduous and sxacting.
The pay Of $500 for beginners is little
enough and should be increased grad
ually as the bill provides, as years and
experience give increased efficiency.
The Tawney bill appears to be we'll
considered measure throughout and
should fiRd favor with congressman.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Sherwin were
the recipients OF a pleasant and COM
plete surprise on Monday evening by
nearly four score OF their friends and
neighbors, who gathered at their
pleasant home in east Brookings to
assist in celebrating their twenty
fifth anniversary.
The company, heavy laden with
choice refreshments, knocked for ad-
mission at the Sherwin home at about
$50 o'clock only to find the lady of
the house quietly enjoying her even
Ing reading by the peaceful firesidc.
1t Is needless to add that her aston
ishment was great as she came to the
door and this large crowd completely
filled the house, thronging In from
front door and rear.
Mr. Sherwin, whs was enjoying Q
game Of cribbage at the house OF
neighbor, was summoned to appear ct
home, but suspecting nothing, In
sisted on playing the game out, much
to the amusement Of his host, DR..
Colgrove, and the uninvitsd guests
who had assembled to do him honor.
His arrival was therefore greeted
with shouts Of laughter and showers
Of congratulations from his assembled
friends, and for once the genial gem
tleman was almost floored. The ev-
ening was passed very pleasantly in
spite Of the crowded condition OF the
house, and at midnight the jolly
crowd began to disperss, leaving their
best wishes for future happiness and
many happy returns of the day.

flock housed In it, and lie a model in
every respect. Sheep raisers Of the
northwest will do well to inspect 1T

dairy and horticultural barns have
undergone extensive repairs which
added much to their convenience.
Many minor additions and repairs
were made in the fall. A new boiler
was added to the steam plant, the
water tank raised and painted, and a
new water main laid. A much larger
gas plant for illuminating purposes
has been procured, while the exterior
Of all the buildings has been treated

Quite number Of improvements
are planned for pext summer, among
them being the enlargement OF the
building occupied by the horticultural
department The roof will be raised
and the building otherwise remodeled.
But the ever-increasing attendance
Recessitates more accommodations In
the near future, and as the people Of
the state become better acquainted
with the needs of its leading institu-
tion Of learning, they will the more
readily lend their aid in securing ap-
propriations to enable their youth to
