MAY NOT QUALIFY
Stat May Lose Worthy Official by
Being Penurious

A correspondent from Pierre refers
to the amendments which were recent
ly voted on and states that there is
reason to believe that Acknowledgement
Hall may not qualify. Mr.. Hall has
done four times the work for the state
that he has received pay for and no
doubt the oil and insurance companies
would rejoice to have him let up on
them. The correspondent says:
"As the different papers over the
state record the official count on
amendments it now begins to look as
if the amendment in regard to school
fund loans will get through, but by a
much lighter vote than on the capital
amendment. The total on the capital
question will reach in round numbers
100, 600 votes, while the vote on the
school fund amendment, is generally
not to exceed sixty per cent OF that.
But the same county official returns
indicate that the amendment for the
increase of salary Of the attorney gen.
eral is lost beyond question. Coming
as it does just at the present time it
looks like an injustice to Attorney
General Hall, who has been for the
past year fighting the legal battles OF
the state in the oil and insurance
cases, and at "A salary of 81 600 year
has been compelled to meet attorneys
who would never appear in court Tor a
single case, for the sum he gets as a
years salary. And not only this but
he has shown the ability to come out
victorious in every hearing on these
cases in which he has gone into court.
It is intimated that if the official count
show that the people OF the state voted
down the request to place the salary OF
this important official to the state, at
same basis as the other state Offices,
Mr.. Hall will not qualify as the newly
elected attorney general"

Lost His WAY.

Don Davis had an experience Mon
day night which was so unpleasant
that he will not soon forget it. During
the day he went into the country six
teen miles southwest after a load OF
corn stalks, starting home just before
dark. In some way he became lost
after dark and brought up near the
Sioux river. Not knowing which way
to go and as the night was very cold
he drove the team near a hay stack
unhitched and made himself as COM
Portable as possible, He lost his cap
and froze his toes, but stayed by the
team until morning when he finally
found the road and came home.

Dakota Farmer Reorganizes.

The directors of the w. F. T. Bush
nell Company, publishers of the Da-
kota Farmer, met Tuesday evening
and adopted amendments to their ar
ticles of incorporation which mean
almost a reorganization of the COM
pany. The most important change
was the doubling OF the capital stock
Ond the adding of two members to
the board OF directors. l.. II. Stor-
gard and w. C.. Allen, who have been
actively identified with the Dakota
Farmer for some time, have acquired a
substantial interest in the company
and were elected directors.
Few people in Aberdeen appreciate
the extent Of the business done by the
w. +. T. Bushnell Company. Aside
from having salaried representatives
in Chicago and New York, the Dakota
Farmer employs an average of fifteen
people in their office. In five years
the circulation has increased from less
than 10 600 to over 5000. The size Of
the paper has been quadrupled and the
advertising patronage has become Sec
and to none given any publication of
its kind in the country.
Mr.. Carnine, the business manager,
has been identified with the paper a
trifle over five years; Mr.. Allen has
bppn in charge of the mechanical de-
partment for over two years and Mr..
Storgaard has been associate editor
for something over a year.
During the absence of Mr.. Carnine
this winter, on his vacation of some
five or six months, w. G.. Allen will
be acting manager.
The Dakota Farmer is a recognized
institution in two states and Aberdeen
is Justly proud of it.-Aberdeen Amer

1t requires genuine loyalty to tear
ones self away from a nicely pre-
pared Thanksgiving dinner even to
witness game of foot ball, but that
is what about $50 Brookings people
did last week when they went to
Mitchell to see the final contest be-
tween the s. ID. A. c.. and the ID, w.
elevens. So far as the writer has been
able to learn all were repaid for the
sacrifice.
From the time of arrival to our de-
parture the citizens and students OF
Mitchell did everything to make their
guests happy excepting of course Civ
ing Brookings the game, which would
have been asking too much.)
The game was clean and the conduct
of the vast crowd was orderly. Only
one incident occurred to mar the pleas
ure of the game and that was the
removal of Tanner of Mitchell, from
the game for rough tactics.
Brookings seemed to be unfortunate
throughout the game, as several times
our boys had Mitchell holding her
breath for fear of touch down, when
an accident or misjudgment would
prevent gaining the coveted points.
The Mitchell Republican gave such
fair report of the game that we have
taken the liberty to republish the same
which is as follows:
The Brookings people were happy
lot and coming down from the train
| they made the air ring with choice
lot of college yells, which had been
prepared for this special occasion.
! The students were accompanied by DR..
/ Chalmers, president of the college, and
Profs. Wilson, Edgar and Wheeler
and Miss Vaughan, of the faculty
members.
I The game was called at 2:30 o'clock
at Athletic Park, and the side lines
were crowded with a vocilerous set OF
rooters for Mitchell, with banners and
. tin horns to add to the din. Brook
/ ings, though smaller in numbers;
was in evidence every time that they
/ had a chance to yell, and several
places the occurrences were frequent.
The game can be characterized as
one of the very best that has ever been
played on the local field and while
at times the play was fierce yet 1t was
kept within the bounds of Legitimate
work. Mitchell kicked off to Brook
ings and it was evident from the first
that a touchdown could be reached by
bucking Brookings line. Wendelkin
made three pretty end runs for good
gains and then the boys settled down
to smashing the line, which they did
effectually for a touchdown, Weak
carrying the ball over. Stephens failed
to kick goal. Score 5 to 0. In the next
kick off Mitchell was held for downs and

Trip to Bookings.

The trip to Brookings by the w. r.
G. and G. A. II. of Watertown was one
long TO be remembered. Leaving Water
town at p. m. about fifty members OF
the two societies with their children
and friends arrived at Brookings II p.
m. where they found the members Of
Rob't. l.. McCook Post and Corps
waiting for them with carriages to take
them to their homes. All day Friday
they were at our service, with carriages
to take us to the college and other
places of interest. Dinner and supper
were served in the hall. The tables
were laden with good things to eat and
decorated with flowers and appropriate
center pieces. 1t was great feast, and
the social, good-cheer that accompan-
led it made the Watertown people feel
that their entertainers were enjoying
it as much as they did. In the evening
a camp fire was planned in which all
entered with a spirit known only to the
old soldiers. One of the best speeches
being made by Gen. H. r. Pease who

Through the efforts of Comrade Stowe
a car had been secured to take the Wis.,
itors with the members to Brookings
to visit Pierre and Saturday morning
found most of our members at the de-
pot ready to go. All regretted that Mr..
and Mrs. Stowe could not accompany
the party after doing so much for the
comfort of the rest. At Pierre we were
met by Comrade Farr who at Mr..
Stoves request had secured rooms for
the party at the Locke. In the eve
ming a reception was given to over forty
by Sully Post and Corps of Pierre.
After a hearty welcome and responses
by hosts and visitors delicious lunch
was served and some fine music rem
dered. To Col. Farr, husband OF our
own Mary V. Farr is due in a great
measure the comfort and pleasure of
our party while in Pierre. We now
feel that Brookings is one ahead OF US
but at some future time we should try
to make the score even. Sec.

Mitchell Defeats Brookings
Splendid Game of Football
Special Train Carries an Enthusiastic Crowd from Brookngs
Witness Game and Were Nicely Entertained.

Mitchell punted. Brookings got the
ball and then they commenced for
gains on end runs. Skinner carried
the ball for long gain and then they
smashed our line for short gain,
following this for an end run of con-
siderable gain. Things looked good
for Brookings touchdown, but
Mitchell held them and Brookings had
to punt. Mitchell went for the line
again and with end runs and smashes
they worked the ball to Brookings' 10
yard line when time was called. Score
5 too.
In the second half Brookings kicked
off to Mitchell and the work was fast
and furious during the entire half.
Brookings was making fine headway
toward MitchelPs goal with end runs
and line smashing but when they got
to Mitchell's twenty-yard line our boys
took brace and held them for downs.
Then it was the finest work of the day
was done. Mitchell had the ball and
they started for Bookings line, and
for over a distance of 30 yards they
smashed right and left for steady
gains, Weak finally being pushed
over for touch down. 1t was then all
up with Brookings, for they expected
to prevent Mitchell from scoring in
hA al hn "a
themselves and kick goal and win the
game that way. When time was called
Mitchell had the ball on Brookings'
15-yard line and five minutes more
would have yielded another touch
down. The final score was 10 to 0.
Wheeler of Brookings, was the UNI
pire and Chamberlain of Huron, acted
as referee, and the work OF both was
very satisfactory.
The play of the Brookings team was
highly commended by the entire crowd.
Their play was clean and they put up
a dangerous game with the odds
against them. Jeffries and Seager.
two OF their best men, were out OF the
game, although Brookings was free to
admit that the score could not have
been been kept down and yet they
felt they might have scored with these
men in the game.
The following is the line up OF the
teams:

he also has host of warm personal
friends who wish him success and
happiness in his new position. We
