the growth of the orchestra and es-
pecially the development of the string
section better than any other portion

day is written up in the high school
news. The local team won, Of course,
and continued on their way to the
state championship. However, they
did not show as good form as in pre-
vious games and it is to be hoped that
they will come back" this afternoon
when they meet Pierre at the college
park. This game will decide the state
high school championship, as both
teams have won all of their games,
and one or the other has met prac'
tically every team of any strength in
the state. The game will be worth
going a long ways to see and a big
crowd may be expected if the weather
is at all favorable.

played and a number of stunts were
pulled off. Speeches were made, some

Brookings. The boys and girls then
went to the college grove where din

the fullest.
One of the very pleasant features of
the day to the "old man and devil of

lunch-we country fellows considered
it a full-sized dinner-was served in
the east school building by the domes-
tic science girls of the senior and
junior classes of the Brookings high
school. 1t was served piping hot and
was a dandy dinner in every way and
was greatly appreciated by the visiting
editors and their families. During the
dinner hour n of the girls entertain

in fellowship and harmony for the
good Of all. The achievement of this
woman is the spreading OF the sun

JOY among the miners and their fami-
lies by instructing the mothers and
children how to live economically.

houses and surroundings real homes.

And what a noble work Il is. II is
the highest order of welfare work and
makes most for progress and the bet
terment OF humanity. II is in start

OF another woman the Recorder refers
to. female agitator who at a time OF
great distress in the mining regions
OF the State went about intaming the
passions of the strikers. and actually
urging them to deeds Of violence. and
misleading them in other matters.
She scattered no blessings. but en-
couraged strife and left nothing in
her trail but discomfort. greater mis-.
