for the election of officers and
transaction of such other business

expense account cancelled besides.
Several important changes will go
into effect next year. Hereafter
no A. C's. will be awarded but in
stead the regular A will be award

union meeting held in the college
chpel. An address by Rev. J. Writ
Dunning '04 took the place Of the
place of the usual order. Rev. Dun
ming spoke upon the subject "The
Salt of the Earth" His address
was characterized by earnestness,
logical thought and loyalty to Jesus
Christ. Taking his text from the
sermon preached by the Master
himself, Mr.. Dunning developed
the subject by making direct APP
peal to the college men and women
present. He clearly showed that
the college men and women were
the salt of the earth, and If they
lost their SAVIOR not only what
would become of the earth but who
would be responsible for its unsav-
oryess. He spoke of the salt Of
truth, the salt of character, the salt
of the gospel and the salt of opta-
mism. Developing each of these
in clear and simple manner Mr..
Dunning surely furnished food for
thought for all of his hearers.
Special music, the chief charm of
which was its simple appropriate
ness, was furnished by Miss Bahlke
and the college Tecumseh quartet.

ADVERTISING HOSPITALS.

The South Dakota Medical society
OF the sixth district, with headquarters
at Mitchell, has refused to admit DR..
c.. P. Farnsworth, superintendent of
the Chamberlain sanitarium, to men,
bership in that society. because that
institution has carried card in GER
tain newspapers OF the state, the Ar
gus-Leader among them. In a recent
letter to DR.. Farnsworth and DR..
Lindsay, DR.. Reamer the secretary Of
the association, puts the refusal to adj
NIT on the ground that the hospital
has done newspaper advertising, but
DR.. Reamer does not say that he him
self personally paid for and managed
similar advertising for the Mitchell
hospital. We think Dr. Reamer showed
good business sense in publishing in
newspaper the location of his hospital
and its reasonable claims to patron
age, but if he is permitted to do this
association, we see no reason why the
Chamberlain institution should be dis
eliminated against.
We do not know what the Chamber
lain Sanitarium intends to do about
it, but we know pretty well what any
average business man would do. He
would run his business to suit himself
and accept no advice from com
petitors.
Physicians cannot keep their hold
on the people if they advise them not
to go to hospital because it's owners
carry a card in newspaper, and it
will soon develop that the fight against
such hospital for such reason must
cease An unreasonable position like
this would soon tend to keep physl-
clans out of societies, and it would not
be long before the su-called regulars"
found themselves in an uncomforta-
BILE minority. 1t is barely possible
that the position taken at Mitchell
may have a tendency to raise this
very question in the state in a way
which will interest many who are
more concerned with the upbuilding of
fine hospitals and sanitariums in the
state than they are in the rules of
local or district or even state medical
societies.

have the support Of the newspapers OF

The past year has been a prosperous
one for the citizens Of Redfield and

Contracts have been let for the
construction of a new line OF sewer
