THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

Now that November, with it's frosty,
crisp mornings that give us new life,
has come and that traditional night of
disorder, Halloween, has passed we
may look at the month. November
certainly has always done it's part in
making history. 1t continues, too, to
put out a new crop of football stars
every year and in doing so keeps our
hospitals in operation. South Dakota
was born in November-1889. The
first newspaper was printed in Novem-
ber-1663. Ohio, Montana, and Wash.
ington became states in November
the first in 1902, the latter two in
1889. Esperanto was invented in No
vember-1S87. OF course you speak
Esperanto, fiuently. And then there
came the first Photographic Novem'
Der, 1887, but as We are strictly neu

DON'T WASTE THE CORN STALKS

Some time ago a prominent Euro
pean authority visited South Dakota
and / had the privilege of showing him
around" says Prof. C. Larsen at State
College. CAS- we drove by a field of
corn stalks he asked: Tell me-, are
those maize stalks very good for feed?
I was obliged to tell him that about 40
per cent of the food value of corn is in
the stalk. With an air of surprise he
replied, The American farmers appar-
emily are very extravagant. They burn
oat straw which we think is almost as
good as hay for u dairy cows, ana
they waste nearly half Of the corn
CROP
There was much truth in his state
ment. We plow the ground, prepare
the seed bed. plant and cultivate the
corn for the 40 per cent In the stalk
just - well as for the go per cent In

exerted. why should we not preserve

vERMILLIoN GETTING "cHEsTY'

Vermillion and the State University
have not quite gotten over the scare
handed them by State College on
Hobo Day here. A recent issue of the
Vermillion Republican stated that per-
haps all athletic relations between the
two schools would be closed. They
state no hotel reservations had been
made for the University team here
but 1t is nobody's fault but their own.
Since time immemorial a team makes
it's own reservations at a hotel in the
city visited and it was supposed Uni.
versity had tended to that matter here
as State did in vermillion last year.
In speaking of the trip from vermil.
lion to Bookings we would ask the
Republican IL State didn't make the
same trip last year and yet they with.
stood its "~ferceness." Each year
has come nearer defeating the Univer.

NAGEL-BISBY

Mr.. Frank Nagel and Miss Bertha
Bisby of ~Brookings were married at
the Baptist parsonage in this city last
Saturday morning at ten o'clock, the
ceremony being performed by Rev. NJ.
B. Milne. The wedding was a quiet
affair there being no guests.
The bride e the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. G.. r. Bisby and attended the
Brookings schools. The groom is a
brother of E. A. Nagel, residing south
of the city, and has been here the
past summer. Their many friends in
this community extend congratulations
and well wishes for a long and happy
welded life. They left Sunday even
ing for the Whitney farm five miles
southeast of White where they will
make their home for the present at
least.

received at the hands of those who had
charge of affairs there. The team ar
rived there after a very arduous trip
about II o'clock on Friday night, and
found that no reservation had been
made for them at the hotel as was or
dered by the manager of the Univer-
sity athletics. Two of the team were
compelled to look around for a place to
sleep after II o'clock that night, and
when the time for the game arrived
they were not in the best of condition
to put up a scrappy game. Since the
time that the two institutions com
menced to play real football, Bookings
has not succeeded in winning a game
from South Dakota-just one defeat
after another and it is in the minds of
all the alumni, members of the team
and students who attended the game
that this should be the last game play
ed with Brookings except it be on
South Dakota's own grounds. That
fierce trip will be the cause of a de-
feat to the University sometime, and in
face of all the defeats which the Uni
verslty has handed Bookings, the U,
would have nothing TO gain and every.
thing TO lose in a game with the Aggies
Looking at It in this light, we are in
clined to side in with the alumni, stu
dents and members of the team"

Big Contest Over.

Saturday evening saw the clos

p. m. the winners we're declared,
and little Mamie Lee, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Lee, won the
fine piano, with a little over a.
100000 votes, rendered her by her
friends. Miss Sallie Button was
the lucky second winner by get
ting the elegant Haviland china
dinner set with a vote of over
100000. Mrs. Frank Schilt was
third with about 1000, 600 votes.

Visitors from the east, and par
ticularly the middle west, say the
travel TO the Exposition has only
begun from the chiefly agricul-
tural states while from everywhere
the summer vaeationists are just
beginning to get away in conspic-
uous numbers. Families are now
ready to leave with their children,
the school vacation plans being
made. Governor Arthur Capper
Of Kansas, who is resting several
days here, reports that thousands,
perhaps tens of thousands are get
ting ready to come now as their
wheat and other crops are out of
the way.
Thousands of visitors returning
to their homes are carrying the
word that the visit is one that
should not be missed with far
greater effect than any printed
publicity could carry and with
this message goes the first hand
promise of a world of pleasure
aside from the exposition. Fine
surf bathing at the beaches, water
bathing in San Diego bay; bay,
surf, and deep. water fishing, boat
ing, sailing, all are right at hand
and the range of such sports as
the polo summer season at the
Coronado Country club, yacht
racing, golf, tennis, trapshooting,
etc, are all within a few minutes
ride of the exposition grounds.

of much interest will be that oil
Theodore Simpson & Sons, OF
Aurora, Ill, one of the largest
breeders of Shetlands in the coun-
try. This company will show Shst-
land, Welsh ponies and hackneys
at halter and with harness and
rig. That the exhibit will be a
fine one is evident from the fact
THAT it has been prepared for the
San Francisco exposition, going
from Douglas to the coast.
There will be something doing
the day the Stock Yards Special
is pulled off. This is a a for
members of the stock exchanges
and each rider must be an active
member of the exchange he rep
resents. Donahue, Randall G. Co.
of South Omaha offer a purse of
$50, and to this the Denver Union
Stock Yards adds $50 more, max
ing 500 for the winner, to say
nothing of the satisfaction of
beating the rival exchanges. The
State Fair commission will. fur
nish horses upon ten days notice.
An innovation this year will be
a sale of full-blooded cattle during
fair week. Herefords and Short
horns will be especially prominent
at this sale, the national associa-
lions representing these breeds CO.
operating with the fair manage
ment in making it a success. This
will be a convenience to the breed
ers of the state, as it will enable
them to select breeding stock of
the highest quality without being
compelled to travel hundreds of
miles in order to inspect herds.
Out of the ordinary run will be
the exhibit of Breeder Wolf of
Lusk, who will show his Ken
lucky saddle horses. The breed
ing of these animals is Mr.. VOLTS
hobby and he has as handsome a
string of them as can be found
anywhere. He has them with five
gaits and a parade of those ami
mails in front of the grand stand
will be a treat for lovers of sad
die horses.
Letters from commercial clubs
and other organizations through
out the state indicate a statewide
interest in the fair this year far
beyond that of previous years. 1t
is going to be the best fair ever
held in the state and the indica-
tions are for the largest atten-
dance.
A letter from Cyrus A. Tow of
Norway, Ia, one of the largest
breeders of Herefords in that
state, says that he probably will
be an exhibitor at the Wyoming
fair.

Preparing for
County Fair

~ 1890
In a recent issue of the Wyom-
ing Tribune appeared the follow
ing boost for the Carbon County
Fair:
"Solidly backed by every bust
ness interest in the county and
with the county government pro-
viding a fund that guarantees one
of the most successful ventures of
its kind ever promoted in the
state, the Carbon County Fair will
open on the sixth day of Septem-
Der at Saratoga, A group of hard
working enthusiasts among whom
are w. E. Elton, d. s. Richmond,
George Broadhurst, Charles O.
Young, Dana Crawford and Geo.
w. Sisson, directors of the fair
association, r leaving nothing
undone to write the 1915 celebra-
ton big in the annals of county
fairs.
Anticipating the free fish fry
on Cadwell's Island the first day
of the fair $500 trout may be
heard on the banks of the North
Platte singing the song that all
good fishes sing before they go
down into the valley of dry bones.
Eight men, arch enemies Of the
fish clan, anyone of whom consid-
ers himself disgraced if he comes
to camp with less than the limit
for a days catch, have engaged to
whip the streams for three days
preceding the opening of the car
nival to supply fish for the crowd.
A prize of forty dollars is posted
for the man making the largest
catch. George Sisson, Cotton
McPhail, Glenn Scott, Bill Mace,
Charlie Plummer, Swift, Hickey
and George Broadhurst are the ar
fists selected to supply the crowd,
and the wise boys say that no one
will go to bed hungry that first
day.
Besides the regular menu of
western sports and agricultural
displays ranging from the largest
steer in the world down to canary
birds, the directors promise that
the three days carnival will be re-
plete with new features.

provide inspiration for all night
dances. These are among the at
fractions that the managers of the
fair promise Saratoga guests.
Another phase of the 1915 ex-
hibit that the directors are en-
phssizing is the fact that this is a
county fair, not a neighborhood
enterprise.
Entrants from the Elk Noun
tain section, side by side with

prizes that are being offered. And

Timber Supply
J~eopardized


Washington, d. O., Aug. 3
The safety of millions of dollars
worth of the nations timber sup
ply has been jeopardized by Dem
ocrstic neglect.
An authorized appropriation of
three million dollars for prevent
ing forest fires and kindred pur-
poses, provided for in what is
known as the "Weeks law" was
allowed to lapse because of the
careless failure of the last Demo-
cratic congress to carry out the
mandate of a former law.
The Weeks law was enacted to
enable the federal government to
cooperate with the states to Sc
cure protection from forest fires.
1t authorized appropriations up
to eleven millions to carry it's
purpose into effect. Based upon
carefully drawn plans, it provided
for the purchase of lands at the
head waters of navigable streams,
to aid navigation and the regula-
ton of stream flow, and thereby
promote forest protection.
Fire destroys the soil covering
in a Forest" says the forestry re
port on the plan of the Weeks law.
"This causes rapid run-of on
steep slopes and erosion results.
The soil thus washed out is the
chief source of sediment in the
channels of naviRable streams.
Forest fires, therefore, cause ir-
regularity of stream flow and loss
of navigability. This calls for ac-
tive assistance from the federal
government, and Section 2 of the
Weeks law is designed to author
ize this assistance"
The necessity for forest fire
protection is shown by the official
reports of the vast destruction
such fires cause. "An average of
100000 acres is burned over
annually in the United States,
with a money loss of about $685.
100000" says the Forestry Bu-
reau report. "The danger threat
ems both northern and southern
forests. In the co~niferous forests
of the north the destruction of
merchantable timber is frequent.
In the pine or hard wood forests
of the south, the chief damage is
the repeated killing of young
growth. This is severe, because
the young growth has a very great
future value, and upon it depends
the permanency of the lumber in
dustry in the region"
The attention of Democratic
members of Congress was repeat
eddy called to the necessity of CIV
ing formal approval to the law
formerly enacted and that without
that approval the appropriation
would lapse and be no longer
available for forest fire protection.
In spite Of this warming, however,
the Democrats neglected to in
clude the necessary provision in
the law this year.
The result is that during the
next fall and winter, when the
danger from forest fires is at the
maximum, the protection that
would have been afforded under
the Weeks law will either be lost
or must be provided for in some
other Wav.
