Bookings Has Press Club.

0TOONJUS0 000 VV0OO OJUUs
Brookings.-The newspaper men Of
Brookings have organized q press club
for the mutual exchange Of news items
and the general encouragement Of
town and country publicity. Not the
least OF the objects of the club are
its social features and the cultivation
Of a friendly cooperation. The first
Of its social functions was the enter
tainment Of the visiting editors and
publishers during the college gala day.
To show what the domestic science
department of the city schools was
accomplishing the club engaged the
students of that department to serve .
three-course luncheon for the men,
bers and visiting newspaper men.
T~Wenty-six plates we're laid and after
lunch was served to that number Of
people and some informal talks were
made, it was announced that the act
ua cost of the provisions and prepa-
ration amounted to $500, or 20 cents
per person. Credit is due Miss Palon,
who presides over that department.
The state college gala day, known al
"Hcbo day." was a great success this
year. The young men and some of
the members of the faculty dressed in
fantastic hobo garb and the young
I'M in Indian garb parade through
the city from the college to the depot
to welcome the visitors, then disband-
ed and canvassed the town for "hand-
outs" which were generously supplied
by the housewives. At noon there was
a Jungle dinner in the college grove
and all was ready for the football
match with the University of North
Dakota team on state field. Some 900
OF the college people participated in
the parade and rooted for the local
team. The visitors lost the game by a
score OF IA to 8. Some $500 people
witnessed the game. Moving pictures
were taken of the parade and game,
and the films are already in demand
for exhibition in the state. Over 1900
feet of pictures were taken and the
movie man pronounced it q very
unique spectacle.

Somebody Mixed Things.

Somebody Mixed Things.
Dallas.-Either in the way OF a de-
1berate hoax, or through an official
blundar of some Kind, four measures
which were %subr1jtted and adopted at
the 1912 election were enormously
submitted to the voters of Gregory
county as part Of the referred meas
ures in the 1914 election. 1t is sup
posed that the error or deliberate
substitution occurred in this county
in some manner. One of the special
ballots sent out to the various polling
places in this county contained the
Richards primary law, the headlight
law, the herd law and the county seat
law, all of these being 1912 proposals,
and none Of them legally up for con-
sideration in 1914. A large percentage
OF the voters registered either in ia
vor OF or in oppocition to these "pho-
ney' measures. In view of the fact
that the Richards law pulled out q
large majority here two years ago Il
is rather interesting that it failed to
pass this time by a vote of 1856 to 937.
The headlight law, now in operation,
was the only one OF the four old meas
ures that found favor. It passed by
a vote of 119 to $40. This bogus bal
lot In Gregory county took the place
OF the special ballot submitting the
question Of calling a constitutional
convention. It has been impossible to
learn here whether other counties had
a similar experience, or whether the
ballot error was merely a local con.
dition. In any event, the incident
probably stands out as one of the
greatest Jokes ever occurring in .
South Dakota campaign. Voters knew
that a new primary law was being
submitted at the recent election (the
Coffey petition law and for that rea.
son did not recognize the Richards
measure as an intrusion on the bal.
lot.
Municipal CWner-hip Profitable.
Brookings.-At the last meeting OF
the Bookings Commercial club C. @.
Trygstad, the city attorney. gave .
talk on city affairs, the municipal
plants and taxes. The city owns and
operates more municipal utilities than
any other city or town in the state.
The receipts for the year from the
electric light plant amounted to SIS.
955, and from he heating plant 81 ,711,
a total of $21,666. The expenses Of
the two, which are operated together.
were $15.6O0, showing a profit OF &c..
066. The telephone plant showed q
profit OF $500 and the waterworks
an excess OF about $1,000 expenses
over the receipts. The apparent loss
on the latter fs partially compensated
by the use Of water in fire protection
and street sprinkling. AS soon as the
majority of the dwelling houses are
modernized the waterworks will show
a net profit to the city. There is no
bonded Indebtedness on the electric
light and telephone plants, for these
have paid for themselves in the last
few years. The city owns approx
lnately $177, 900 worth of municipal
enterprises. with an outstanding bond.
ed Indebtedness OF $500 on the four
properties. The telephone rates are
81 and $3.50 respectively, and light
10 and 5 cents per 1000. The profits
are being applied on the bonded in.
debtedness, SO that, barring accidents.
the city will own its paints in q few

LAST NIGHT BEST" IS

Participants Are Determined to
Excel Themselves in the
Final Performance.

Nashingtons Greek pageant drama,

a blaze of glory tonight, for principals.
chorus and dancers alike have decided
10 make the seventh and final perform
ance outsh!ne any of their previous
efforts.
The chariots will drive faEter. the dan
GERS will dance longer, and the chorus
viii sing with more fervor than ever
before, which is saying a great deal, for
they already have won no little fame as
Thesp'ans at previous performances
The ticket booths at the big stadium at
' street and the Avenue OF the PreS:-
dents will be opened at O'Clock this
cVfnirS for the biggest crowd Of the
week is expected.
Tho admission of children for D cents
and adults with them for 80 cents will
be continued this evening. In spite of
the shower of rain just before the be-
ginning of last nights performance
there were hundreds of little folks pres
ent, and those who were kept away by
the .ain may come again tonight. Sc
far as the performers were concerned
last rights shower was welcome, for II
settled the dust that the chariot races
have been raising and made the turf
scft and springy for the dancers.
Sol Minister'S orchestra showed no fear
oS the threatening clouds and they
t'loN ca lllt ON WnllG lne
spaEtered their instruments, the music
LcInS, as perfect as though they were
SnuSlv sitting in the pit of a theater.
NeHle Colquitt, the shepherd, found the
grass a little wet and. cold for his
nfteSn-minute nap in the center of The
arena, but a good rub down a few min
Utes later while he was in the tomb"
put him in good condition.
Not only have the actors become per-
fcctly acquainted with their parts dur
ing the weeks performances, but the
animals also are now fully aware of
what is expected of them, and no longer
shy at the spotlights. The flock of sheep
makes the circuit of the arena without
the guidance of the shepherd, the
chariot horses thunder about the course
without threatening to crash through
the boxes as at first, and even the
sacrificial bull does not protest so much
at being made the palfrey of the accused
VeStal.
In truth, some of the doves that are
liberated nightly are too familiar with
the excitement and prefer to sit on the
wrists of the girls in the chorus, rather
than take a chance ot rising in flight
and humping into the electric light wires
when blinded by the brilliant arcs.

Demand for stock cattle developed
phenomenal breadth early in 1913,
and competition between killers and
finishers for the near-beef class
was keen all summer. Prediction OF
scarcity of young cattle was abund-
ant-y verified and the appreciation of
stocker values narrowed the feeders
margin, where it was not wiped out
altogether. The result was that most
of the feeders laid subsequently to
March ] that were carried any
length Of time were money losers.
Short-fed cattle were 'the best bet"
of the year, and those who got out
with 80 to To-day feeds achieved
maximum results. Fifty bushels of
corn divided between two steers
produced far better results than
where the entire quantity was fed to
one beast.
