LUCE LINE HELPS

Sundays Minneapolis Journal has a
page write-up Of the town Of Winsted,
which Is on the proposed route of the
Luce Line from Minneapolis to Brook
ings, and the following is an excerpt
from the article:
The village Of Winsted, situated
in the northeast corner Of Mcleod
county, on the western shore of Win
sted lake, is an inland town eight
miles from Howard Lake, on the
Great Northern. The Luce Electric
Short Line, which will run direct from
Minneapolis to Winsted, will be COM
pleted by the first of the year and will
bring Winsted into direct communica-
ton with Minneapolis, 38 miles away.
1.-The possibilities of the Luce Line
at this time can hardly be overestimat-
ed, especially as to its relations to the
farming industry. The line having
been laid through a rich agricultural
country, the opportunities for truck
farming are exceedingly good. Not
only will it increase the profits of
those who engage in truck farming,
but the price of land will be doubled
along the entire route. The cost of
marketing crops will decrease while
the trading territory of every market
will increase. Every town along the
line will profit and the towns will be
more rapidly developed. Opportuni-
ties for manufacturing and distribut-
ing plants, cold storage, starch fac
tory, canning factory, creameries, ele-
vators-all these openings for light
manufacturing will be introduced by
the Luce Line. Besides this, Winsted
is to be an important junction point,
as it is understood that a branch line
will extend north and south, thus CIV
ing the town the added ad, antage of a
rapidly growing manufac turing CEN

THE r NUMBER

Saturday evening, the Evelyn Scot
ney company rendered a program
which in excellence and artistic ar
rangement was at least equal to any
ever given in Brookings.
The first portion of the program was
largely operate in character and the
enthusiastic way in which it was re-
ceived proves the appreciation of our
audiences for the better things in
music.
Nine. Scotney possesses a voice of
an unusual bird-like quality which
shows her training in the French
school. In the LA Traviata" aria, she
found opportunity to display many of
her powers-dramatic, lyric and color
atura, and all with so equal ease and
grace that it would be difficult to say
il which style she excelled. Her &C.
ond group was well selected with re-
gard to effects of contrast. Especially
pleasing were the Campbell-Ti Upton
Spirit Flower" the Willeby "a June
Morning" and the little Cucko song.
Mr.. White proved his right to the
title of Basso Cantante. His style is
truly a singing one and his voice of a

BRooKINGs BEATS SIOUX FALLS

The Brookings high school football
team triumphed over Sioux Falls high
school at the latter city Saturday
afternoon. The score was IA to 13. The
game was a desperately fought n
and Coach Dillon and the boys are to
be congratulated upon their splendid
showing. Sioux Falls has held the
state championship for several years,
but this puts them out of the running.
The Sioux Falls Press had the follow.
ing write-up of the game:
After being outplayed and rushed off
their feet by the whirlwind offense of
the Brookings eleven in the first part
of the game, Sioux Falls came back at
the visitors in the last half of play
with terrific onslaughts that crumpled
the line of their northern rivals and
all but turned what seemed certain
defeat into a brilliant victory. The
final score was Brookings IA, Sioux
Falls Is.
Not in many years has a more bit
terly fought contest been fought on
the local high school gridiron. The
casualties were numerous, due to the
desperation of the players and the
consequent rough play. Brookings
started with brilliant dash and three
minutes after the opening whistle the
northern school had seven points to
its credit, thanks to an intercepted for
ward pass, some clever line plunging
by Severson and the boot of Kennard
Brookings kept the ball in Sioux Falls
territory, but was unable to add more
to its scope until near the end of the
second period, when Whitmus receiv-
ed a punt neal the center Of the field
and lodged the entire Sioux Falls team
in his dash to the goal line. Kennard
then added another goal and the visit
ors felt reasonably safe with a four
t~een-point lead.
It was the pep" with which the

vantage. AS encore to the pleasing
Aria from THE Queen of Sheha" he
sang Kipling's Rolling down the Rio
arranged in a very effective setting.
The Tours Mother O. Mine" was es-
pecially well done.
He displayed his versatility in his
work upon the Cello. The n~octurn-like
GODDARD number and the encore, THE
Swan" Saint Saens were rendered
with splendid tonal quality.
The "Rondo Capriccioso" by Saint
Saens as played by Mr.. Hayne, was
characterized by a flawless technic,
and fine shading. His encore which
strongly resembled a folk song was
one of the most pleasing numbers of
the program. In his second group, the
Goldmark Air, with its sustained mel
ody and the encore were especially at
tractive and the Tartini-Kreisler Varia-
tons were made interesting by its
beauty as well as by the technical skill
displayed.
AS is usually the case, the hardest
worked member of the company, and
in this case, by no means the least
artistic, was the pianist, Mr.. Herbert
Seller. Notwithstanding his exacting
task in the role OF accompanist, he
favored us with a rendition of LISTS
arrangement of the Quartette from
"Rigoletto." His best work however
was shown in the Chopin Fantasia I'm
promptu which he played as an en-
core. This was superb in its clean-cut
technic and effective dynamic shad-
ings as well as the clear and well
phrased melody of the second theme.
While his accomplishments were ex-
tremely exacting, they were always
clear and in perfect sympathy with the
soloist.
Mr.. Seller also appeared as composer
in the brilliant ensemble number with
which the company closed it's program.
1t is difficult to say which were more
pleased; the audience with the pro-
gram offered, or the artists with their
audience. 1t was first concert in my
experience in which the performers
were willing to render one or more
encores to every number of the pro-
gram. On the long concert trips. com-
panies become so fatigued that it
takes an unusually enthusiastic au-
dience to arouse an equally enthus-
iastic response from the artists and
this circumstance commends both the
appreciation of Brookings audiences
and the excellence of Nine. Scotney's
company.
There are few colleges which can
offer a lecture course with attractions
of the magnitude Of this company and
1t is with pleasure that we note a con-
tinual advance each year in this re-
spect.
Announcement was made of the con-
cert by the Royal Gwent Welsh Singers
at the college auditorium October 9th.
AS their concert was so successful last
year no comment is necessary upon
their excellence.

ton to that little quotation of Her

courage you to do your uttermost while
there is yet time. The long distance
swimming championship Of America
was won by a boy who did not con-
slider that he was defeated, until all
his vitality was depleted. He kept on
after he was tired, and therein, lies
the key to all victory" Keep m. Don't
become discouraged. Remember the
words OF Commodore Perry: Don't
give up the ship" 1t won't be luck"
that will make the winner in this

As almost everything depends on
the work which is done during the re-
naming time and since the contest
ants are practically on as even a foot
ing as they were at the start of the
contest, o may consider that your
work during the next two weeks
means just $500 to you. $4OO a week
for the next two weeks, will be your
compensation if you win the auto.
Isn't that worth working for? Isn't it
worth the trouble it takes? If you
should give up now, you would I'M
doubtedly get nothing for your work
except commission, while if you keep
up a good hot pace you can get the
auto. That's the inducement.
At the close of the contest gets
nearer, the public is becoming more
and more excited about it. Almost
everyone has by this time picked their
favorite and is trying to make him or
her the winner. Take advantage of
this intense interest, contestants, and
enlist as many people in your sup
port as you possibly can.
Its all up to you.
Yours for success,

culture, on request of the publishers
of the Hustler-Democrat, has prepared
the following timely and thoughtful
articles on the benefits of giving care
fui consideration to the subject Of
81 ed corn selection:
One of the most important points in
the raising of corn is in the selections
of the seed. The productions of corr
in the United States for the year 1912
as given by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture amounted to
2,10O, 000, 900 bushels; valued at soc per
bushel would amount to $1,550,000 900.
From the same source the yield for the
year 1913 is 5000 O 900 bushels short
and a great deal of the amount cribbed
is very defective.
Owing to the defective corn produe-
Ell it is of vital Importance to the
farmer in the selection of his seed as
to its termination power. No grain
can produce a strong and vigorous
plant unless the seed planted has
strong terminating force The far
1Ier in selecting his seed should con-
slider the following points: Vitality,
character of grain and cob, and type
Of ear.
Vitality is what we farmers call the
heart of the grain in a we'll developed
form. In the selection of seed the
grain should be deep and uniform in
size. The ear should have the small
grain shelled off each n in order
that each grain shall have the same
vitality. The ears of corn should have
the same shape or type as tc cob and
size.
Experts in the judging of corn give
vitality Is points out of 100 mad uni
formity and shape of kernels Is points
out of 100. The other points are made
up, shape of ear, color of ar, and cob
tips and butts, length, etc.
This is an important matter for all
farmers to study if they expect to in
crease the yield per acre on the farm.
BY careful selection of seed, keeping
in the mind the proper type of the
time an increase OF. yield and demand
for his product.
There is not raised in any part of
tie United States corn of more vital
ity and perfectness than in Western
North Carolina. The climate gives il
ali the opportunity for thoroughly ma
turing. With proper selection of seed
and cultivation there is a future for
the farmer.

BUSINESS OPENS WITH GOOD DEMAND Hens Declining in Price and Eggs Advancing-Oys-
 ters Conc

Business on Morris avenue started off yesterday with a good demand in most markets, but the produce merchants re- ported only fair business. There were many price changes, but nothing of con sequentia1 nature.
 In the poultry and egg market the price on hens is tending downward, the price yesterday being reduced to 16 cents a pound on hens. Eggs are becoming stronger as to price, as the hens begin to come in more freely, and 1t is predicted that there will be 8 slight advance in egs prices within two weeks. The demand is very good and there is no over-suppiy at the present time.
 In the fish market there were many changes in prices made yesterday. The demand is fair and the supply adequate The oyster is practically absent from the local market now, although the season does not officially close until May l. This far south however it is too warm for the oyster at this time of the year.
 Produce dealers made quite a few price changes yesterday. Strawberries are tending downward as the season advances and it is expected that by the end of the week the price will reach rock-bottom. Florida oranges are inclined to advance as are also sweet potatoes. The demand is only fair.

New York, April eo.-Cotton recovered n good part of Saturdays loss during to- days trading.

At any rate, after some early irregularity the market ruled generally steady, and closed steady at net gain of from to Il points.

There were a good many over Sunday selling orders around the ring and offerings also were encouraged by the favorable week weather forecast. but after showing a net loss og 2 or g points the market rallied.

MARKET ADOPTS
 WAITING ATTITUDE Mexican News Has Little Effect in New Orleans.
 1 to 3 Points Gain

New Orleans, April 2o.-The cotton mar ket adopted waiting attitude today, both sides holding off from trading un- til new features should develop in both the Mexican and the new crop situations. The sentiment of the trade was that the news of the day in regard to Mexico was unfavorable, but the market acted some- what oversold and it had little effect. After the early decline the market re- covered and the most active months work ed up to level to points over the final figures of last week. The close was at a net gain of 1 to 8 points.
 Better weather conditions promised for the entire cotton region caused selling in the early trading. When shorts tried to take profits the ring found it difficult to supply the demand for covers and prices improved.
