WHERE STATE LOAN is BARRED

That election to county Office be-
tween the time of application, and
time of securing a loan from the state
school fund, Is a bar to completing the
loan is the opinion of the state legal
department on inquiry from the states
attorney CT Harding county, says a
Pierre dispatch. An application was
made for such a loan but on account
o. the lack of funds the money was
not supplied by the state department
for about a year after the application
was made, and within that time the
applicant had been elected as a coun-
ty official, and the holding is that the
law prohibiting loans to county off,
GERS applied. That while the applica-
ton had been accepted prior to such
election, the making Of the loan would
be the turning over Of the money, and
that was after the party became an
official.
It Is also held that where an at
tempt is made to increase the size of
a school district by taking in a part
Of another district, the petition for
a vote must come from the whole of
the territory of the district to be d.
vided as we'll as from the district
which wishes to attach. That a petit
ton from only that part Of the district
which is to be divided, which would be
set off is not sufficient, as the law re-
quires such petition to " all the
districts affected, and that is held to
be the whole of the district asked to be
divided.

CLEAN SWEEP FOR BRookiN0s
Representatives Of Local School Win
Three Places In District Contest

The Brookings high school made a
clean sweep in the district oratorical.
declamatory contest held at the opera
house last Friday evening. There were
not many representatives from out.
side schols, but that detracts nothing
from the credit due to the Brookings
people, as it Is generally understood
that the failure of several from out
side to appear was due to a well
grounded fear that the contest would
turn out as it did.
Miss Leila Linn won the oratorical
contest, Grace Lanphier the declama-
tory and Guy Austin the original ora
ton. all three being given unusually
high marks by the judges. These
young people will represent this dis
trict in the state contest to be held at
the State College in May and their
friends are confident that they will
again make a fine showing.

INSPECTION SCHOOL BUILDINGS

At a meeting Of the inspectors of
the state food and drug department
with the commissioner at Vermillion
last week, plans for the inspection of
school buildings in the state were dis
cussed. The public building inspec-
ton law makes this a duty Of tire de-
partment and in order that those in
charge of such buildings may know
what the department will consider
safe" in school buildings, there will
shortly be sent to all boards of educa-
ton a circular outlining the general re-
quirements under this law. Laws of
other states and city ordinances have
been consulted and a code of specifca.
tons concerning fire escapes, stair
ways, exits and fire protection has
been drawn up for the guidance of the
inspectors and Of school boards and
others having charge Of school build
ings.
Other matters discussed at this
Ineetlng lncluded plans Tor spring ac-
tivity in enforcing the sanitary food
law, means of controlling the traffic
in rotten eggs, feeding stuffs inspec-
ton and many other topics connected
with the work Of the department.
Work under the sanitary food law will
be pushed with more vigor this year
than ever before and the inspectors
will wage a continuous warfare on
flies, filth and dirt of all kinds in food
handling establishments. The results
Of the campaign last year for better
eggs were very encouraging, and this
year it is expected that much more
will be accomplished.

WORK ON TRAIL

The following dispatch from New
Ulm, Mimi, indicates that the road
boosters of Minnesota are busy on the
Black and Yellow Trail and 1t would
seem as though 1t were time for Brook
ings county to do some much needed
work along this highway:
Work has been started on the Nicol-
let county side of the river on the Sec
ton of the Black and Yellow trail
passing through that county. Allen
Tiff of Omaha, has the contract for
improving the 26 miles of highway
between New Ulm and st. Peter, the
contract price being about $40, 1000. The
road is to be graded and graveled 20
feet wide at the top. and the drainage
taken care of. Three carloads of
horses and mules and four of machin-
cry have been unloaded and 80 men
have arrived. 1t is expected to have
the work completed by Thanksgiving.
"The real Black and Yellow trail
leaves this highway a short distance
south of Nicollet, and runs to Man
kato, a distance of 13 miles. and
thence east to Chicago. The Nicollet
county board is to receive bids this
month for improving this stretch Of
road in the same way. Both jobs will
be done under the Elwell law.

SOUTH DAKOTA BASEBALL

Within less than two weeks baseball
in South Dakota will be we'll under
way, says an Aberdeen dispatch. Never
before in the history of the state has
SO much baseball enthusiasm been
manifested as this spring. In nearly
every city and town organizations
have either been perfected or plans are
being formulated for supporting fast
teams this season. Even towns that
heretofore have not been represented
by teams have become affiliated and
will indulge in the pleasures of the ma.
tional pastime for the first time this
year.
The Corn Belt Amateur league will
be the only circuit in the state. This
league will consist of seven towns in
the southern port of the state-Alex-
adria, Bridgewater, Canastota, Emery,
Montrose, Salem and Spencer. Accord
ing to the rules adopted at the last
meeting every one Of these towns has
completed it's registration of players.
A schedule will be adopted at the next
meeting and it is likely that the initial
contests will take place the fore part
Of May.
Lennon plans to be represented this
summer with a formidable team and
will waste neither time, money nor
efforts in doing so. At a recent meet
ing Of the fans of that place various
committees were appointed to begin
active preparations.
Fans of Bowman have secured an
early start for the organization of a
team there and have already succeed
ed in raising over $500 for the support
of a fast nine. DR.. F. Byrne was
selected to pilot the team.
Enthused over the record of last
years aggregation, Selby is again to
be represented by a strong team. C. A.
Potter has been reelected manager
and will devote most of his time in
developing a strong combination.
Plans for supporting a well bal
anced aggregation at Ipswich have
been perfected and May Is has been
chosen as the date for the opening of
the season. The business affairs of
the club will be conducted by a com.
mittee composed Of Messrs. Briggs,
Herrick and Engler, while Frank Blank
was selected to manage the team.
The enterprising town Of Bryant is
the latest town to complete details for
an organization this season.

ENTER A RELAY

Coach Ewing of State College. is put
ting forth every effort to develop a
two-mile relay team for the Drake re-
lays that will be able to break the
present record. 1t is of interest to note
that this record was made in 1912 by
M~orningside college while Ewing was
coaching the Methodists.
All Of States relay team from last
year are in school with the exception
of Kornder and the return Of Strachan
a star Of two years ago should more
than fill his place.
A large number of new entries az
reported in the college class and State
is expecting to be forced to go faster
than ever before. 1t is understood
that the fast Hamline university's
team has given up the mile relay which
they won last year and wi. devote all
their time to the two-mile. This should
add spice to the race and insure fast
time at least,
While the weather conditions have
not been of the best the relay squad
fifteen strong have been given daily
workouts on the wind swept cinder
circle for the last month. With the
moderation in temperature apparent
at present Ewing's men are rapidly
rounding into form and by Saturday
should be able to give a good account
of themselves.

INTEREST IN BETTER FARMING

The State College is receiving notice
of preparation for the organization of
agricultural extension associations to
promote and carry IN the work Of ag-
ricultural education under the provis-
ions of the federal law commonly
known as the Smith-Lever act and
senate bill No. 25S, passed at the re-
cent session of the legislature.
Brown county has already started
it's organization, the articles Of incor-
poration and bylaws for which were
prepared by Congressman Johnson.
Other counties are moving in the mat
ter, and several will soon be ready to
take advantage of the provisions Of
the above mentioned laws. From in
Quiries coming to the college, how
ever, 1t is apparent that in some To-
calities the provisions Of the Smith
Lever act and Of senate bill No. 258
are not fully understood.
For the fiscal year beginning the
nrst OF next July, there will be avail
able from the federal government $16..

visions Of said senate bill No. 258, $685.

President Carlisle read a letter from
Gus Holms Of Cody, Wyoming, rela-
tive to advertising the Black and Vel
low Trail. This caused Prof. Solberg
to remark that, although he was Sec
rotary Of the Black and Yellow Trail
association he refused to do any ad-
vertising of it until it was put in
shape for tourists. Considerable work
is needed here in Bookings county,
according to the professor. The mat
ter was finally referred to the board
of directors with power to spend a
hundred dollars either on the Trail
itself or on publicity work.
DR.. Miller made a short report on
legislative matters and gave some in
teresting figures on appropriations for
the different state institutions.
President Carlisle said that he wish
ed some one would volunteer to make
a report to the club at the next meet
ing on the changes in the laws govern-
ing cities. DR.. Miller said that he
would take the assignment.
Prof. Kerr reported that the build
ing and loan association was coming
along in good shape. The association
now has $4,000 loaned out and has ap-
plications in for $1,000 more. Prof.
Kerr said that he had a list of thirty
four who would build residences dur
ing the year.
Prof. Kerr said that the committee
in charge of the Lake Campbell dam
contemplated some changes and i'm
provements in it. 1t will be widened
to better handle the water in flood
time and may be lowered.
President Carlisle made the an
nouncement that Brookings had won
all three places in the district o~ratori-
cal-declamatory contest at the opera
house and this was the signal for con-
siderable enthusiasm. The club gave
the medals for the winners of this
contest.
Ex-President Hyde said that at the
January meeting the club had passed
resolutions commencing his admins
tration of the clubs affairs during
1914, and as he had been unable to
attend a meeting since he wished at
this time to extend his sincere thanks
to the organization.
Prof. Browning thanked the club for
its support Of the high school activi-
ties, which he said had been an in
spiration to the young people.
After another fine number by the
Y. M. C. A. quartette the meeting ad-

24,oOO PEOPLE VISIT TRAIN
Large Crowds Greeted Dairy Train on
Its Recent Trip over the State

Twenty-four thousand people in six
ty-ive South Dakota towns visited the
dairy-silo-hog cholera train which COM
pleted a fourteen days run last week,
having been operated conjunctively by
the State College, the State Dairymen's
association, the state bureau of emmi-
grafton, and the c. & N. w. Ry. and
the c. NJ. & st. Poul railway lines. This
is the third and most successful train
to be run by the college.
Although much of the weather was
unpleasant, the crowds which me the
train at all stations were patient and
eager to learn what the demonstrating
staff had to offer. The program was
substantially as follows:
Addresses: "The Future of South
Dakota" by Chas. McCaffree, state
commissioner of immigration; What
the College, State and Nation are Do
ing for the Farmer" by E. c. Perisho,
president of S. d. State College; "Silos
and Silage," by F. w. Merrill, Fargo;
Prevention of Hog Cholera" by DR..
G. G. Lipp, veterinarian at State Col
lege; "The Dairy Cow and Her Use on
South Dakota Farms" and COW demon
stration, by c. Larsen, Professor of
Dairy Husbandry at State College. Fol-
lowing the lecuture and COW demon
stration, the power milking machines
were operated on the fiat car. College
Belle Wayne, the famous Holstein COW
and five other representatives of the
college dairy herd were used in the
demonstration.
All visitors to the train were invited
to inspect the exhibit car which con
tanned an interesting display of forage
and grain crops adapted to South Da-
kota, which were furnished by the
bureau of immigration and the agron-
omy department of the State College,
two milking machines and various
dairy utensils, model silos of various
types, model homemade stanchion,
and a hog cholera display. About forty
thousand bulletins, circulars and mail
ing cards were passed out to those who
desired further information.
"These special trains have done an
immense amount Of good, says Chas.
McCaffree, Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, "for they seem to have struck a
popular chord. The speakers have
certainly received earnest and appre-
ciative attention. Certain reports
show that these trains have had a very
valuable influence, but some especially
significant things have come within
my observation. For instance, as a
result of the first trip on the c.. & N.
w. line in 1913, when d~airying, silos,
alfalfa, and kaoliang were advocated
for the west-river people, Supt. Dick
inson reports a 1914 increase of 60
per cent in receipts from cream ship.
ments above the previous year. The
agronomy department Of the State
College also reports five thousand
acres Of kaoliang planted in the state,
where before it was an unknown plant,
Since that train silos have entered
many communities and alfalfa acre
age has increased wonderfully"

CITY CAUCUS
ALMOST UNANIMOUS
POPULAR COLLEGE PROFESSOR
is NAMED FOR MAYOR BY
CITY CAUCUS
VOTE Was: MATHEWS 31s; JOHNSON 50
Considerable Excitement Is Stirred Up
On the Last Day-Something Do
ing In the Ward Caucuses, Too

The city aucus on Saturday even
ing was almost unanimous for Prof.
Fl. B. Mathews for mayor. The popu-
lar college professor received 319
votes to SO for c. A. Johnson, the pres
ent mayor.
The day Of the caucu was produc-
tive of considerable political excite
ment, the first of the campaign, and
both sides did some hustling. Prof.
Mathews was at the Rochester hos.
pital for treatment and a telegram

from him during the afternoon con-
veyed the information that he was
not a candidate and no one was au-
thorized to use his name in connec-
ton with the mayoralty campaign. The
Register last week endorsed Prof.
Mathews for mayor and this seemed
to crystalize sentiment in his favor, 20
his friends got busy, in the belief
that he would accept II he was salts
fed that the people really wanted him.
A telegram was dispatched to him
about six o'clock asking him IL he
would serve If elected. He answered
that he would serve IL the people want
ed him, but that he would not enter
into a fight for the position. This was
satisfactory, as his friends believed
that there would be 10 fight and
later events proved they were correct.
AS the Register stated last week 1t
was not known that Mr.. Johnson was
a candidate, in fact he did not defin.
itely himself until the day
of the caucus, and this getting into
the game so late undoubtedly lost him
considerable support. However, 1t was
easy to see that Prof. Mathews was
the popular choice, as the Register
had predicted, and he has reason to
feel proud of the splendid endorse
napt ba rocaiuod
The caucus was called at eight
o'clock by Chairman Kerr, who was
named permanent chairman. Geo. p.
Sexauer was named for secretary.
There was a big turnout, much larger
than was anticipated. City Treasurer
Haroldson and City Justice Grover
were nominated by reclamation. Ed.
Harte nominated G. A. Johnson for
mayor, and G.. A. Mathews presented
the name of Prof. Mathews. The John.
son forces sprung a telegram from
Prof. Mathews in which he stated that
he was not a candidate and no n
was authorized to s his name In
that connection, but the other side
came right back at them with the
later telegram which stated that the
professor would serve. T. s. Sharp
and C. Campbell were placed in nom.
ination for police justice, MI. Camp
bell winning out by a vote of 248 to s6.
Most of the vote was cast in the first
thirty minutes, but the tellers were
kept reasonably busy until the polls
closed at nine-thirty. There was
much interest in the outcome and most
Of the crowd staid to see the finish.
The ward caucuses were held on
Thursday evening in the polling places
of the wards. In the First ward all
was ~peaceable, as usual. and even the
Bloody Third was as quiet and serene
as an old maid at her knitting. Alder
man Hoy wal named in First. and u
Alderman w. II. Conklin was the only
one mentioned in the Third. In the
other two wards, however. there was
something doing. In the Second the
candidates were Geo. d. Cole and

From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
The commissioner Of immigration at
Winnipeg says that American farmers
are coming to western Canada in as
large numbers as ever. They are we'll
supplied with money and goods, and
an unusually large proportion of them
are buying homesteads in Manitoba, in
stead of trying to take up land for
themselves farther west and north. If
an American farmer must leave home,
he can't go to a better place than Can
ada. He makes no sacrifice of liberty
or dignity when he crosses the north
ern border He finds in the neighbor-
ing republic the language. laws and in
stitutions he has been accustomed to
at home. and truth cOmpels the admis-
sion that Canadian laws are better en-
forced than American ones. But why
should the American farmer be re-
quired to leave home at all?
The United States is still very thinly
populated-less than thirty-flve persons
per square mile, while Italy has more
than 800. There are still vast areas of

all. The swamps flooded and kept out
of cultivation by the Mississippi alone
