OF went his hat and coat,
Ev'ry thing needed repair.
Chorus
He had to get under-get out and get I'M
der
To fix his little machine.
He found the carborator full of alfalfa seed
Now would you believe it. after he'd cleaned
Hansen got under-got out and got under
To look for one little lost seed.
And every time they started to climb the
college hill,
The darned old engine just stood still.
They had to get under-get out and get
under
To fix up that automobile.
End verse
Mart Carlisle has an auto-named Mary Ann,
He challenged Solberg for a race on Friday.
They met at the fair grounds at 2 p. NJ.
Both were all ready for the fray,
Carlisle had visions of a great victory,
When something happened to the machinery.
The starter shot his gun,
But neither car would run.
Twas the old story again.
End Chorus
They had to get under-get out and get
To fix up those little machines.
They were just dying to finish the race,
But every minute-when they'd begin it
They had to get under-get out and get
under.
Then they'd get back at the wheels,
And ev'ry time the starter shot off his
little gun
The darned old engines would refuse to run.
They had to get under-get out and get
To fix up those automobiles.
3rd verse
And took his sweetheart for a ride one Sun
day,
Dickey was dressed up in his best suit of
clothes
She nestled close to his side.
Dick had a vision of a home of his own,
When something happened to that old ma
chinery,
And every time he went to say-"Marry
Twas the old story, again.
3rd chorus
He had to get under-get out and get un-
To fix up his pa-pa's machine
He was just dying to cuddle his queen
But oser. rninute--when he'd begin it >
Then he'd get back at the wheel
And every time they'd start to hug and kiss,
The darned Old engine it would miss.
Then he'd have to get under-get out and
get under
And fix up his automobile.
Teddy was roundly encored but he
too had a date to perform for the
ladies and he could not tarry.
Presidents Hyde and Brown return
ed at this time. and the latter an
nounced that the gentlemen need not
feel that they were the whole thing,
as the ladies were having some time
of their own.
The following message was read:

Brookings, S. D..
Greetings: Sorry we cannot have personal
representation. Aberdeen most cordially en-
dorses work of State College and pledges aid

in the country.
Aberdeen Commercial Club.
After some discussion it was decided
to dispatch Jul sincere thanks to the
people of Aberdeen, and to send them
a bushel Of Hansen alfalfa seed.
Chief Iverson of the college roofing
brigade arose at this point and called
for the college yells, which were given
with a will and the building rocked
with noise for several minutes. The
college song was given with the same
spirit.
At this point the following telegram
delivered to President Hyde, was read:

DR.. A. w. Hyde.
Pres. Brookings Commercial Club,
Bookings, s. D..

1t Is my own wish that your katherine
settle at a debate to be held upon this oc-
casion the momentous question as to Why

affirmative to be argued by DR.. Hume. DIR.
Tilden and w. M. Cheever, and the negative

minutes and all the fresh air desired. At
this distance it seems impossible to pick a
half dozen men who know less about the
subject than do these. The audience is to
be the Judge. Wire result my expense ano
give winners the onion.
Secretary of Agriculture.
President Hyde acted as chairman
of the debate and called upon DR..
Hume as the first speaker. DR.. Hume
started out on a good argument but
before completing 1t he ~recollected
that this was a democratic subject
and he hastily gave the floor to the
next speaker. DR.. Tilden said that he
liked onions provided they were well
cooked, but he was informed that they
were not On the menu for the evening.
M. Cheever confessed that he did
not know anything about onions, an
unnecessary admission and n that
perhaps fatal to his side Of the
question. but he said he would like to
ask Charlie Hall and DIR. Hyde how to
