was welcomed by a downtown street
parade and carnival that resembled

Senator Bobb stated that there
were more appropriate settings for
the state buildings than the one at
Pierre. He also related how the cap

SMILING
SAYS HEAD OF BANKS

Muskogee. Okla.-The country is
smiling with prosperity as the result
of the federal reserve bank act and
as the system grows older the smile
will grow into a laugh. according to
Charles II. lIamlin governor Of the
federal reserve bank board, who
spoke before the southern commercial
congress here today.
'In time of financial stringency a
farmer deserving CT credit can get it,
Mr.. Hamlin said. 1--WE have a real
elastic, liquid currency. The federal
reserve board is empowered at such
times to put enormous sums, suffl-
cient to dispute any idea of panic
and a panic such as that of 1907
could not take place"

PALACE
MONEY NEEDED
FINANCIAL BACKING WILL HAVE
TO BE STRONGER THIS YEAR
BECAUSE OF CHANGE In
SITUATION.

Financial backing for the 1916
Corn Palace will have to be heavier
this year than ever before if the
fall festival is to prove successful.
This vas made plain at a meeting OF
the Corn Palace subscribers at the
Commercial club rooms last evening,
called by w. ii. Fritz, chairman OF
the soliciting committee.
One of the heaviest deficits to be
faced by the committee this year'will
be the $1,000 yearly given by the
retail liquor dealers, which OF
course is not available as the result
>of the vote a week ago today to put
Mitchell in the dry column.
On partial solution of the prob
lem came with the announcement OF
a message from Mrs. b. A. Bobb,
president of the Women's Aid So
ciety of the First Methodist Epis-
copal church, that that organization
had been interested in the abolition
of saloons and would corresponding
ly ontrcibute 500 to the Corn Pal
ace fund. 1t was intimated that the
Congregational Ladies' Aid society
also contemplated the same action
and that other organizations would
follow suit.
Many of the smaller contributors
present. especially those interested in
the temperance question, announced
that they would double their sub
scriptions for the coming yea 1t
was very apparent to those present
that very serious efforts would be
necessary to bring the subscription
list to the desired total.
One Of the chief reasons why addi-
tional funds are needed this year
is that all street takers usually a
source of income, will not be per-
mitted or. the streets this fall. The
attractions will be more costly than
previous and at least $1,000 will
have to be expended on repairing the
dome and other parts of the Corn
Palace building. The committee Sc
curing attractions has felt loath to
book them without assurance that
the money would be forthcoming to
pay for them.
The members of the soliciting COM
mittee will, comprise, Mr.. Fritz. w. C.
Metcalf, Robert Burns, John Kur-
wink. j. w. Bryant, Joe l.. Lovinger,
T. G. Burns. F.. l.. Meyer, A. B.

BERRY TAKES
CROSS-COUNTRY
REPEATS SUCCESS OF PAST
YEAR in FINISHING AHEAD
OF FIELD IN DAKOTA
WESLEYAN RUN.

BreaSting the tape after a run of
three and one-quarter miles in IS
minutes and As seconds, John Berry
for the second time won the Dakota
Wesleyan annual cross-run Monday
afternoon. The gold medal was won
by him last year when he made the
course in is minutes and So seconds.
Ii time made yesterday was bet
ter thar that of last year. considering
the heavy course caused by the re-
cent rains. Mankay, a new partici-
pant in the event followed Berry in
with second place. George Potter fin
ished third. which entities him to the
bronze medal again, as he in last
years run received third honor.
One of the features OF the run
was the finish made by Gilbert Gra-
ham. who followed close behind Pot
ter. Graham was one of the contest
ants in last years run. but was among
the final tinishers. Clifford Knox, who
many thought would be a close rival
of Berry. failed to complete the
course because of a misfortune in the
early part of the contest. One of
his shoe laces broke and as it was
with considerable difficulty that he
was able to retain his shoe, he did
not make the entire run.
Others in the race were. Ellis, YES
sey, Edinger and Caldwell. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather and
the bad condition of the course, the
contest did not attract as many ath-
letes as usual. Three medals gold,
silver and bronze, are offered each
year to the winners of the race by
the Wesleyan Y. NJ. c. A. The run
started at AIS O'Clock yesterday af-
%ternoon and was witnessed by a good
crowd of spectators.

The One Great European Power Which
 Did Not Expect War

In the August American Magazine a well-known American banker writes a thoroughly authoritative and eX- ceeding interesting article entitled, "The Money Side of the War" He tells all sorts of inside facts about the financial situation and in the course of his article tells as follows which nations seem to have had a warning of the war;
 "The only financial warning of the great war was the palpable effort on the part of the foreign Governments to accumulate large stocks of gold This effort became manifest early in the year 1914, and at the time war was declared France had increased her normal holdings by $170,000, GOO, Russia by $150,000,000 Germany by S100, 100000. Of the Powers, Great Britain alone made no great effort to accumulate gold. This fact would in dicate that her Chancellor, of the EX chequor, and the Cabinet generally had no idea that war would come.'
