THE ELLERY BAND AT THE CORN
PALACE.

The most prominent feature in the
entertainment Of the crowds Of peo-
pie who will come to see the Mitchell
Corn Palace of 1911 will be the Ellery
Band. Mitchell has each year presen-
ted at her Corn Palace one Of the
best bands that could be obtained any
where. Among these have been Sou
sa's Band, The Marine Band, Pat Con
ways Band and many others of prOmi-
hence. This year The Ellery Band,
which has for it's headquarters at the
present time, London, England, will
be in Mitchell for Corn Palace week.
The Ellery Band has been pro
claimed throughout the United States
as the foremost of its class and the
press everywhere from the Atlantic
to the Pacific has layished upon it's
work such praise as even New York's
great opera companies might well
envy. Mr.. Ellery's band has spent a
greater part OF four summer seasons
in Chicago, and it has been recently
adopted by some of that city's leading
citizens who have formed a stock
company to support IL upon the very
highest level Of musical art.
The EIery Band played at Glasgow
on Coronation Day and the newspapers
in Glasgow in writing of Ellery's
Band declare that it has taught local
organizations even TO play their own
national air and that never has God
Save the King" been rendered in such
a reyerent and expressive tanner.
Opie Read says:-"The Ellery Band
has no rival. 1t stands magnihcently
alone
The band program for the week in
cludes ninety-six numbers without a
single duplicate. No such treat was
ever offered 10 the music-loyers Of
South Dakota. Besides the Ellery
Band the program in the Corn Pal
ace each afternoon and evening will

other smaller twine manufactures, but
also with seven state penitentiary
twine mills.
Since the International was organ,
lied, binder twine prices have steadily
fallen, and the decrease between 1902
and 1911 amounts to 40 per cent.
The charge that the International
has suppressed competition in har-
yesters is likewise untrue. 1t has had
continuously, and still has, the Wig
competition Of the Johnson,
Walter A. Wood, Asme, and Adriance-
Plat Companies in the binder trade,
and several others in the mower
trade. Recently two large manufa1-
turers have entered the trade, while

include several vaudeville acts of the
highest class. These with the band
program form an entertainment of
the highest character.
The free street attractions will in
clude three good acts besides the
famous "Gregg's Automobiles that
pass in the air" This is one of the
o spectacular and sensational
street performances that is shown
today.

The Townsend Report repeats the
eyerrecurring falsehood that binders
are sold at a cheaper price abroad
than at home. The United States
Governments investigation, in 1909,
proved that while the American farm
or pays approximately $125.0O for a g.
foot binder, in France this same ma
chine costs $173.70; in Germany,
$203 90; in Sweden, $160.SO; and in
Great Britain, $135.16.
In spite of the fact that materials
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1911-09-07

had increased in cost more than 80
per cent, and wages more than II
per cent, the International did not in
crease its price of binders until three
years ago. And then an increase of
only Z per cent vas made. This, how
ever, owing to some reductions in
material, has been largely wiped out
by an announced reduction of 5 per
cent for 1912, although the cost of
labor has advanced more than 20 per
cent.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER
COMPANY REPLIES.
The Facts Set Forth Regarding the
Attack Of the Unsigned and Mis-
leading Townsend Report.

During the last month there have
been widely circulated certain state
ments regarding the International
Harvester Company, all of which have
their origin in a report made more
than five years ago by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Townsend, after a brief
and partial Investigation.
The International Harvester Com
pany has presented to the Stanley
Committee, at Washington, a complete
and vigorous answer, in which it is
pointed out hat the arguments and
conclusions of the s~o-called Town
send Report are based upon clearly
erroneous statements Of w%ell-known
facts.
The Townsend Report" claims that
a monopoly in harvesting machinery
has been created because the Inter
national owns the patents on all the
best types of knotters.
The truth is that there has been
70 patent whatever on the essential
parts of any type of knotter since
1896, when the Appleby patent ex-
pired. Neither are there now any
patents upon any essential part of the
grain binder. The many basic patents
had all expired in 1896, and there
have been no substantial patented i'm
provement since 1S91-twenty years
ago-while the life Of a patent, as is
we'll known, Is only seventeen years.
That there are no such patents is
known to every manufacturer of har-
vesters, and is now emphasized by
the fact that other manufacturers, in
Guiding the Minnesota State Prison,
have recently closely initiated the In
ternational's models.
The Townsend Report charges that
of all Of the different types of har-
vesters purchased by the Internation-
al. all except three-the "Deering,"
Mccormick" and "Osborne"-have
been abandoned, and that repairs are
not furnished for any others. This
statement is VIGOROUSLY and abso-
lutely untrue. Repairs for the Min
ME-" Buckeye" and Keystone" al
though not manufactured for nearly
ten years. have always been and are
still furnished by the International.
Although the Report states that the
Champion" plano" and "Milwau-
kee" binders and mowers have ceased
to be manufactured, the truth is that
they have been since 1902 continuous
ly manufactured, and are still manu-
featured by the International and are
generally sold throughout the United
States. This Is wellknown to the
farmers and dealers Of the country.
The Reports charge OF a binder
Irvine trust" is without any foundation
whatsoever. The International !s &c.

tition with the plymouth Cordage
Company and q half dozen or more

RELEASE OF BOYS
WAS A DIAZ BLUFF
Called by State Department,
Mexico Government
Hastened Much.

President Diazs supposed coup in
which he slipped one over on the state
department OF the United States in the
Converse-Blatt case, was not such q
brilliant move as. was at first sup
posed. according to the later develop
ments When he called C. H Con-
verse to Mexico City to deliver to him
pardon for his boy and Edwin Blatt,
he was doing it only to avoid comply
ing with the request of the United
States for the liberation Of the Amer
leans This he did, not to comply with
this governments request. but because
Mr.. Converse was a nice man, Mrs.
Converse was a nice woman, and the
boy was a nice boy, according to at
torney Converse. What the crafty old
president was trying to do was to get
the boys off of his hands without be-
ing forced to deliver them to the
United States upon the request of tho
state department.
But later correspondence develops
another interesting fact. The boys,
including Richard Brown, were not
delivered upon the order of president
Diaz. either written or telegraphic, but
were hutsled before judge Miranda
acquitted Of the charge of sedition and
given their liberty in jig time. Why
this haste in giving the boys trial
after they had been held for two
months is best explained by local at
torney, who has been making a careful
record of all the correspondence in the
case. According to his opinion. the
government called the bluff OF the
Mexican government in the cases Of
the three boys and for once in their
lives the Mexican officials from min
lister de la Barra to the Jail trusty,
got a hump on themselves in double
quick time and freed the boys before
a situation, already critical became
more acute.
Had 1t been a parcon. the boys
would not have been taken before the
court for another hearing, but would
have been liberated When Converse
went to Mexico City, much against his
will, president Diaz did not refer once
to the status Of the cases against the
boys, but pardoned them. seemingly
out Of the goodness of his heart. He
wired to Gen. Harrison Gray Otis. of
Los Angeles, to- have Converse go TO
Mexico City. and that was only the
scrambling of a man trying to get out
of a bad hole without losing his long
taw. When the United States called
Mexico's hand. Mexico had nothing
better than a bob-tailed flush and there
was desperate effort to fill at the
last minute. When this failed the
boys were ordered taken before the
Juarez Judge and acquitted post haste.
