FARMERS CANNING PLANT.

William Hill, a farmer near Miles
vile. in northern Stanley county last
spring put in a small canning plant to
care far the products or his own gar
den, and this year canned over 1920
cases of tomatoes alone, besides the
other vegetables he secured for that
purpose. He is making no effort to
ship any Of his produce, but is supply
ing the local market with canned
goods. His plan was to show what
could be done by his personal efforts
this year, and in that way interest his
neighbors in the raising of vegetables
Of that part of the state next year and
make the canning proposition an ex-
tensive business instead of a mere side
issue.

GOOD VOTE WILL BE CAST.

notwithstanding the fear which
has been expressed in some quarters
that the vote cast in the state at the
election in November would not be
much more than so per cent of the
vote cast in a presidential year, there
is little doubt that the vote cast at
the election in November will be
much greater than generally expected,
says a Sioux Falls dispatch.
In every county in the state county
officers are to be elected, as well as
members of the state legislature. The
friends of the candidates alone will
do wonders toward getting out a good
vote. In addition, those in favor of
and those opposed to county option,
which will be submitted to the voters
at the election in November, will turn
out in large numbers in every precinct
in the state to vote upon this import
ant question. This will materially aid
in getting out a good vote to the polls.
The proposed woman suffrage amend
ment to the state constitution also
will be voted p and it is certain
that the women who favor the amend
ment will be on hand on election day
to get voters to the polls. The pleas
of the women will be made in such a
way that voters will have no other
course than to turn out to the polls
and vote-even if they are opposed
to votes being granted women and
cast their ballots in opposition to the
proposed amendment.

A WEATHER ENHANCEMENT.

A difference Of opinion has arisen
among Jul local weather prophets in
relation to the proper significance to
attach to the strange and unpreced.
ented action of the muskrats this fall.
These little animals are generally
credited with more weather wisdom
than the United States weather de-
partment and DR.. Hicks, combined,
and the severity of the winter is often
predicted by the size of the houses
they build in the fall. But this year
the muskrats have apparently forsak-
en- the ancient traditions of their spe-
cies. Not a new muskrat house can
be found in the sloughs in this vicin-
ity, and from this fact arises a dis
agreement among our local weather
prophets which cannot be settled I'M
til next spring. Some claim that the
failure Of rats to build new houses
signifies that we will have a mild
open winter and that the rats will
find their old houses sufficient protec-
ton. Others contend that the action
of the rats is a certain sign of an ex-
tremely sever winter--a winter so
severe that the rats could not live in
their houses but will be forced to
burrow into the banks for protection.
We will give an expert opinion upon
the relative merits of opposing con-
tentions sometimes next spring. In
the meantime We would advise every
one to prepare for emergencies and
commence to treat the coal man as IL
they thought he Is the best fellow on
earth.-Webster Reporter and Farm.

STATE COLLECx
DEFEATS N. D.
AT FARGO LAST SATURDAY BY A
6 TO 8 SCORE.
ST. THOMAS GAME SATURDAY
AND COLLEGE WILL MEET YER
MILLION ON NOVEMBER 7.

The State college football team kept
up its great record by defeating the
strong North Dakota agricultural col
lege team at Fargo last Friday, by a
score of 6 to 8. The game was hard
fought from start to finish and much
credit was due to the college boys for
their victory, as North Dakota great
ly outweighed them. However, what
Brookings lacked in weight was made
up in speed and knowledge of the new
game and they outplayed their heav-
Ter opponents throughout the greater
part of the game.
North Dakota scored early in the
game, making a drop kick from the
thirty yard line, but this did not dis
hearten BroOkings. On the contrary
they went into the game all the hard
er and from then until the finish their
goal was O seriously threatened.
Brookings scored it's touchdown in the
third quarter. The ball was carried
down to the 20-yard line, where North
Dakota secured it IN downs, but
fumbled and Kremer recovered and
went through for the score. In the
last quarter Kremer picked up anoth.
err tumble and raced forty yards for a
touchdown, but the ball was called
back and the score failed to count.
North Dakota attempted a drop kick
from the 40-yard line in the last few
minutes of play, but Brookings broke
through and blocked the kick and car
ried the ball out of danger.
The boys report first-class treat
ment at Fargo and the spectators
generously applauded Brookings' good
plays as we'll as those of the home
team.
Next Saturday the college team
meets the strong ST. Thomas team at
st. Paul and a hard battle is looked
for. The team will go up tomorrow
morning in order to get a good nights
rest before the game. The following
week the boys go to Vermillion to
meet the state university and We I'M
derstand the college students are plan
ming to run a special train down.
The fine showing of the team in the
games played so far have led the col
lege people to believe the boys have
a good show against Vermillion and
the presence of a train-load of sup
porters would have a very beneficial
effect on their playing. Vermillion
is strong this year, there is no ques-
ton about that, but We do not think
the college team will be outclassed
and if the boys play the game they
have displayed so far they will stand
a very good chance to win.

the Roosevelt monument committee as
follows:
Roosevelt gave me a sitting on
May S, at the Royal palace. 1 made
bust of him. The American am
bassador Herbert Peirce, met Roose-
welt in Smaalenene, a province in the
one hour after the arrival to Chris
tiania MIR. Schulin came to the Ameri- :
can legation and gave me the message
at my studio, that Roosevelt woul ]
give me sitting for half an hour the
next day at 10 O'Clock.
This Roosevelt repeated to me when
shortly afterward I greeted him at
the legation hotel. In the evening at
the dinner given in Roosevelt's honor
by the king and queen at the palace,
was nearest and right opposite the
former president. No decoration was
in the way. This I had neither di-
rectly nor indirectly wished for. When
I had Roosevelt's word that he would
pose, ] had nothing more to ask for.
The king came to me after the dinner
and told me that Roosevelt wanted
to speak to me. He said that he would
give me one full hour Possibly Fritz
iof Nansen and the prime minister had
spoken to the king. I had Roosevelt
alone with me for forty-five minutes.
Later came secretary, his son Ker-
NIT and the king. Roosevelt dictated
messages the rest Of the time.
Before he commenced to pose, he
said that he did not wish to be dressed
as he was now. but in cowboys suit,
and at the end, when I asked him
where could get hold of such suit,
he told that Mr.. Hanna from Fargo
would certainly send one. The dress
will have to be correct. not what we
might see at the theater.
Il have hardly had anyone better
to pose, and he gave me a longer sit
ting than promised. He is remark
able man, and we cannot but love
him.
