We asked Prof. Wilson the other
day If the Stock Breeders Association
had been asked to come to Brookings,
and he answered, why, no. We don't
dare invite any association to hold its
convention here with the present hotel
accommodations that Brookings has.
Don't you know, Brookings could get
the Stock Breeders Association, the
horticultural Society, the Grain Grow
ers' Association, the Dairymen's and
B~uttermakers' Association and others,
If we only had the hotel facilities to
take care of them. They all want to
come here on account of the college,
but W really haven't the courage to
ask them to come under the circum-
stances" T0is is the frank opinion OF
one of the best boosters the college
and city has and a man who probably
would have more influence in bringing
conventions here than any other Brook
ings citizen. 1t is something for the
Commercial Club to ponder yer.
