MONTH OF HUsTLING
Conventions Will be Thick in Nit
chen the Last Palf Of January
-Four Coming.
-Four Coming.

Mitchell people will be kept pretty
busy during the last half Of January
entertaining conventions and %associa-
lions, and they will he crowded in
pretty thick. However, Mitchell
will take care Of the visitors and
make them all feel that they are glad
to have come.
The Hardware Dealers will be the
first to make their appearance very
likely, commencing January l6. The
hardware men will complete their
organization at this meeting, and
from the reports received the atten.
dance at this first convention is 60
ing to be very large.
On Jan. 1926. the South Dakota
Retail Dealers Association will con
vene, the p1ogam for which is now
being made up and will be ready for
publication within a short time.
The Retail Dealers association is a
very large one, and the attendance
at the conventions held in Sioux
Falls in past years have always been
large and enthusiastic. 1t ought to
be larger in Mitchell, where 1T is
easier to get to than Sioux Falls, be-
ing in the center OF a larger territory
of merchants Of South Dakota.
Following the retail dealers will
come two big gatherings at Onee-the
South Dakota Improved Live Stock
Association and the South Dakota
Poultry Show. The latter will open
first, on the Goth, in the city hall
auditorium, and the managers are
planning to make this the biggest
show ever held by the association.
The Live Stock association begins
its session Jan. 30 with the dedica-
tion of its new building, and the cere
mony will he observed IN the amphi-
theatre of the big structure. Cover
nor Elrod will be present, and also
the state officers. All the members
of the legislature are tn be invited
to be present and participate in the
exercises of the afternoon.
There is one other association
which will be invited to come to
Mitchell for its gathering, announce
ment of which will Re made later.
1t will convene either during the
week of the 9th, or wait until after
the other gatherings have concluded
their meetings.
Mitchell with its public place of
gathering in the city hall. and it's
greatly increased hotel facilities is
able to care for the largest crowd
that will assemble in the state, and
this city stands in a receptive mood
for the gatherings that. are to come
in the future Of whatever nature.

KEEP LOCAL HANDS OFF
PRACTICAL Suggestion a. to the IN
usual Display Of Local Inter
est in State Colleges.

WATERFOWL Public Opinion: Dr..
Chalmers, who has been. at the head
OF the agricultural college for the
past two years, has declined to c
cept the presidency Of the state uni-
versity. DR.. Chalmers will return TO
pulpit work, in which he was 9 q
ed at the time OF his election to the
presidency of the agricultural col
lege. Now, if everybody who ever
wanted 10 be president Of the stata
university would either resign or de-
cline, the university would be better
off and the state would be relieved,
temporarily at least, Of a lot OF use
less agitation. One great difficulty
in South Dakota. so far as the state
institutions are concerned, lies In
the fact that the communities ia
which they are respectively located
are apt to think that these instit0-
lions ought to control the selection on
the president Of the university, or,
If not that, at least to dictate IN
large measure how he shall conduct
the institution. And this applies,
with more or less variations to a ma
jority OF the state institutions. The
local sentiment developed fromsthoss
old territorial plan OF placing the
public institutions under the control
OF loca board, giving the town n
which an institution was located :
majority Of the board governing suca
institution. Iu is time for South
Dakota to get out Of that rut-clear
out of it, far away from it. Sioux
Falls is nc more entitled to the war
deDship than is any other lloaclity In
the state. Yankton is entitled TO-
no more consideration in the selec-
tion of officials for the asylum than
is any other locality. Vermillion's
sentiment with regard to the man
agement OF the state university
should have no more weight than
that Of any other community Of
equal population and intelligence.
The sooner South Dakota places it,
self upon a higher plane with regard
to its public institutions the sooner
these petty .strifes will be wiped
out.

Great Deal of Liberty.

accorded every possible courtesy, and
during the day they were given their
freedom by the sheriff to come and
go at will, the boys returning in the
evening t. the Jail to remain over
night. The sheriff felt very sorry
for Young Gardner and offered him
a job on his farm Until he could fine

THE DAEDALIANs WON
Question Discussed at the
1nter-society Debate Fri
day Night.
day Night.

Il1e crowd which gathered to heal
the boys debate between the Kappa
and Daedalian societies or Dakota
Wesleyan was not quite SO large or as
enthusiastic as the audience which.
greeted tue girls last Friday evening.
Misses McGrath and Doyle played
a beautiful piano duet after which
Prof. Breckenridge of the high
school read the question, which was
as follows:
Resolved, That the principle OF
protection should be eliminated from
the tariff policy OF the United States.
Interpretation: Protection shall
be interpreted to mean the policy OF
protecting the pro 1ucers in the
home market by the imposition of
such discriminating dudes ON goods
Of foreign production as will restrict
or prevent their Importation.
The Daedalian speakers. John
Gust, j. ID. Evans and Geo. Nor
velle, had the Affirmative and con-
tended that protection should be
eliminated.
The Kappas had the negative side
of the question which is the popular
side and Roscoe Satterlee, Raymond
Gould and Roland Davis spoke for
the protective principals.
The debate was a battle royal, for
the boys have spent six months
study on the question. the prepara-
tion for the debate having been be-
gun last fall.
While the Daedalians may have
had the unpopular side of the ques-
ton yet they showed that protection
has about completed its usefulness.
The producing industries of the
United States have been protected
until we now have the greatest com
mercial supremacy. They showed
that from Al producing standpoint
that American labor is the cheapest
in the world and that protective tar
iff raises prices not wages. High
protective tariff can he removed by
reciprocity which they contend rust
be done or lose a great amount of
our export trade, especially with
Germany and France.
The Kappas made some strong
points, in that competition is the
mother Of trusts and not protection,
to uphold our labor industries must
have protection protect u home in
dustries and thus give US commercial
independence. They conrended that
free tade would destroy our indus
tries, reduce wages and lower u
standard of living.
Mr.. S~atteflee and Mr.. Evans each
made strong speeches. in closing their
side of the debate.
The decision OF the judges, Judge
A. r.. Brown of Canton: W. F. Per-
sons, of Sioux City and Prof. Psrisho,
of Vermillion was unanimous in
favor Of the Daedalians.
The DaeGallans with their sister
society, Ihalians, occupied the west
side of the chapel and when the de-
cision was given they left their seats
with one furious yell.
The victory OF the Daedalians was
celebrated in Daedaliab and Thalian
hall by a sumptuous spread. followed.
by a big bon fire and war dance in
front of the college hall.
The Kappa's and Philo's went
away down town to the home of
Miss Maude Belts and had a glorious
time. Though beaten, yet In the de-
feat their debato1s brought not only
great honor to themselves but to
their society.
The next debate will probably be
an intercollegiate debate held here
with the State University

alone prosper. In countries where
less compassionate systems of religious
philosophy prevail, we see no such
splendid Order which has for its
purpose the relief of the needy and
suffering.
1t is the Christ spirit in the world
which has made possible the success
OF Odd Fellowship and all kindred
orders.
Whence came the highest ideal of
fraternity? Was it not from the lips
OF the Christ, who taught the brother
hood of all men, and whose teaching
has broken the barriers between ma
tons and races, until to-day as never
before We reckon that "He hath made
OF one blood all nations OF men for to
dwell on all the face of the EARTH"
Whence came the thought of the
Fatherhood of God? Was it not from
those words "Our Father" which are
the opening words of that greatest of
prayers, in the offering of which every
man OF every creed feels free.
Whence came the thought of Friend
ship in its highest sense, of Love in
Its all inclusiveness, of Truth in it's
greatest purity? The question needs
no answer, for we know the fountain
from whence these springs have flow
ed.
He who loves Friendship Love and
Truth, ought to love Him who is the
Friend of man, who is the embodi-
ment OF Love, and in whom Truth
forever shines.
Let no Odd Fellow speak lightly of
the Church, for she hath laid the
foundations, her missionaries have
pioneered the goodly land. Odd
Fellowship could not survive gen.
Grafton without the church of God on
earth blowing the field, sowing the
seed, and raising fruits which are the
very life of every good and benefcent
organization.
In closing, | want to congratulate
ourselves as church, that we have
reached point where we can see good
in others and recognize and commend
it. The day of strife and jealousy
between Gods agents on earth is
rapidly passing. In the language of
Abraham to Lot we say to one another,
1.-The field is great enough for all, let
there be no strife l pray thee, between
my herdsmen and thy herdsmen.' -
AS Odd Fellows and Rebekahs let
us acknowledge with gratitude oul
debt to the church, and as churches
let us rejoice in the good work of the
Fraternal Orders, and unitedly let us
labor for the good of all.

During a recent snowstorm a police
man found William Nuttall, of Ac-
crington, at nearly midnight asleep
in a field. At the Accrington police
court the chief constable stated that
Nuttall was a most extraordinary
character. He could sleep standing
and even while walking, but preferred
the middle of an open field for his
SAUNDERS, caring nothing for rain or
snow. The last time he was before
the court he fell asleep in the dock.

CULLS CROSS THE PACIFIC.
They Follow Ships in Long Voyages to
the Other Side of the
Ocean.

When one of the huge ocean trans
ports swings out through the Golden
Gate and passes the Farallone islands,
passengers may notice great numbers
of brown objects with long, sweeping
wings, suddenly appear from their
resting places and follow in the wake
of the ship, says a correspondent of
the Detroit News-Tribune. Then the
sailors. with the superstition peculiar
to their occupation, cry: Here come
the sea gulls. we'd better feed them if
We want a quick passage The birds
seem t o know when they are to be fed
for they come flying in ever-narrowing
circles until they are within a short
distance of the ship. The gulls never
seem to- rest. Day after day they fol-
low the ship, cleaving the air with
swift wings, flying easily and without
apparent effort.
In a recent trip of the transport Lo-
gan one of the gulls had its wing mus
cles injured, and dropped fiuttering up
on the deck, its wide, gooselike bill
open and strange squawks coming
from it's throat. A soldier spied it and
took it to his bunk, where he fed it
daily until it became strong again.
Then he allowed it to fly away.
But the bird had not forgotten his
Denefactor. Every day it would light
on the deck and allow non save this
particular man to feed it. 1t followed
the boat to Honolulu, to Guam, and
finally o Manila. Where it rested dur
ing the two weeks the Logan lay in
Manila is not known. but when the
vessel turned on its homeward curse,
bound for Nagasaki, the first day out
found this gull, easily distinguishable
by a fleck Of white on its neck, resting
on the stern.
AS it's favorite soldier did not appear,
the gull graciously allowed others to
feed it, and continued its trip with the
ship until the Logan passed the Faral-
lone islands.
