ON TO MITCHELL
IS THE SLOGAN
STATE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND
TOWNSPEOPLE ARE GOING
EN- MASSE
TO HELP BEAT METHODIST TEAM
Defeat at Yankton Has Only Spurred
Brookings on to Renewed Efforts
Hard Luck Game at Yankton

"On to MITCHELL is now the slogan
Of the State college students and it
is being echoed by a goodly share of
the townspeople. Since the defeat of
the team at Yankton on Monday the
students and citizens have gathered
solidly back Of the boys and will send
to Mitchell on Thanksgiving Day one
OF the biggest and most enthusiastic
delegations that ever wen out of
~Brookings. This is the right spirit
and the only way that winning ath-
letic teams are ever built up. Not
one word of censure is word for the
boys over their bad defeat at Yankton,
but everyone is a booster and this
spirit will help the team wonderful
ly in their hard battle with the Metho-
dists.
About one hundred and ninety have
already signed up to make the Mitch
ell trip and it is expected that at
least two hundred and fifty will go.
This delegation will leave here on a
special train early Thursday morning,
reaching Mitchell in time for dinner,
and will leave there soon after the
game. The rate for the round trip is
three dollars, but if two hundred
tickets are sold, which Is practically
assured, the rate will be two and a
half. 1t will be an enjoyable trip and
a good outing, so get on the band
wagon and help boost for the team.
The defeat at Yankton was a bad
one, especially as it was so unexpect-
ed. The boys fully expected a VIC
tory, although they did not think that
the southern team would be easy, but
were hardly prepared for a 80 to 0
defeat. The BrOokings team was
badly bunged up and minus three or
four of it's best players, so that the
team work was all shot to pieces, and
the team did not put up half the game
star of the team, remained at home
On account of illness, Lynch missed
the train, Caldwell was so ill on the
way down that a physician had to
be secured for him, and to top the
run of hard luck, Bibby, the best de-
fensive man on the team, was in
after it started. At that, Yankton has
a great team and deserves credit for
putting up a great battle, but the
Brookings boys are confident that they
would have had a victory but for hard
luck.

RAILROADS FIGHT NEW LAW.

In chapter 215, Of the session laws
Of 1907, the legislature provided for
the collection of double damages"
where property has been destroyed by
fire set by engines or employees Of
railway companies, where the COM
pany refuses to pay such damages
within sixty days after notice of such
loss, filed with any agent OF the COM
pany, or where the company disputes
the amount Of damage, and the same
when taken into court, is adjudicated
at a larger sum than the company
was willing to pay, says a Pierre dis
patch.
This law has been affirmed in the
supreme court of this state in a num-
Der Of instances since 1t was enacted,
and is similar to a double damage"
act in Iowa and other states. While
the railroads OF the state have been
paying such double damage judgments
awarded by the courts they have
finally, in the case Of F. F. Polt VS..
Chicago, Milwaukee G. st. Paul Rail
way company, decided to take the
matter to the supreme court Of the
United States on appeal from the de-
cision Of the supreme court Of this
state.

THE THANKSGIVING DINNER.

The merchants of Brookings will
provide a long and varied selection
Of eatables for the good housewife
to choose her Thanksgiving dinner,
including the turkey and all the
fixin's that go with the lordly BIRD.
The local grocerymen were never
better fixed to supply the Thanks
giving trade than they will be dur
ing the coming week and here in
this town We shall live high on
Turkey Day, providing of course that
We have the price.
Turkey, the chief item on the bill
of fare, will sell from fourteen to
fifteen cents per pound, dressed. This
is slightly lower than previous years.
If anyone does not care for the tur-
key they may buy dressed chickens
at from ten to twelve cents a pound.
Cranberries, one of the necessary
fixin's, are scarce this year and the
price is somewhat higher than in
former years, but not enough higher
SO that anyone will be obliged to
forego the pleasure of having them.
Sweet potatoes, Jerseys, are plen-
tiful and will sell for the usual price,
five cents a pound.
Bananas will be plentiful and the
stock now being received is ripe and
fancy.
A good supply of box and barrel
apples is on hand and the price is
lower than last year.
The new crop Of oranges from
Florida is now on the market and
they are better than the Valencias,
which have been the chief seller to
date. Naval oranges are late this
year, but probably will be here in
time for the big day.
Apple cider, the old fashioned kind,
is on the Brookings market and Is
said to be the best in years.
