Hattiesburg's photoplay fans who
have before been captivated by the
talents of Marguerite Clark, will be
delighted by her splendid perform
ances in the latest Paramount release
at the LOmo, Helen OF The North"
Specially created for this little star,
Helen of the North provides Miss
Clark with innumerable opportunities
for the exploitation of her wonderful
pantOmimic powers. Moreover, it pre-
sents story with construction so new
and different that it will probably be
conceded to be one of the greatest
screen novelties ever created. Safety

Mr.. Hardy made for him. but has

the cooperation of the faculty, Pres

Contrary to Mr.. Morgan's personal

proved the college enthusiastically The
departments, once loosely related,
now cooperate as an academic unit.
In spite of Mr.. Morgan's personal

aged the religious activities of the
college. He has seen each year that
the new employees are warmly vel
coined Without buster, he not only
solicited contributions, but gave one

building, which remained a dream
from 1905 to 1914 when the hopes Of
years were converted into concrete
reality.
Evidently Mr.. Morgan is either in
judicious or insincere Does he mean
what he says? Does he really want
the college free from political en-

refrain from his efforts to draw it in
to the political maelstrom, and assist
in making the greatest institution Of
the South" even greater and better.
We citizens of Starkyille, who have
personal, not hearsay, knowledge, as
sure the people of Mississippi that
President Hightower is doing a great

are scholarly gentlemen. The college
is prosperous. We pray that the state
twill keep it out of politics,

To the People of Mississippi:


Immediately before the first Demo
cratic primary, Mr.. Clarence E. Nor
gan, of Louisville, Mississippi, wrote
an article, which was published in
the Issue, of July 80, and printed in
circular form, and scattered broad
cast over the state, charging Mr.
George R. Hightower with complete
failure as president of the a & NJ.
College, and implying that the college
is going to rack.
So unjust was the attack that We
citizens Of Starkvilie and adherents
of every political faction-would have
refuted Mr.. Morgan's charge at once
except that we wished in no way to
abet Mr. Morgan and other enemies
Of the college administration in drag
cling the college into political turmoil.
All patriotic citizens would have the
schools of Mississippi free of politics.
We therefore waited until after the
second primary, to tell the people Of
Mississippi that in spite of Mr. Nor
gan's personal knowledge" the p"ns-
ent administration of the A. & NJ. Col
lege, is very satisfactory.
When President HightOwer came to
the college, a spirit of unrest was pro-
nounced in both faculty and student
| body. President HightOwer immedi-
ately took the reins into his own
| hands. In November the students I'M
! dertOOk to grasp control of the college.
Upon the positive refusal of the ad-
ministration 70 yield to the demands
Of the cadets, the students-with

! that college without authority is a
mere anarchy, the faculty. to the man,
stood with the administration and as
| sisted in restoring order. Rapidly
more than eighty per cent of the stu
dents returned to their college duties.
Through firmness discipline was es-
tablished And this discipline has
constantly improved.
The students of the A. G NJ College
today are as gentlemanly as any stu
dents who ever attended ''the greatest
institution in the South" Contrary
to Mr. Morgan's personal knowledge
the cadets do not hiss the presidept

as much respect for him as their pre-
decessors had for President Hardy

Guiding session of the commission was
held at the nome of Prof. Smith on
Hamilton street and he made the an
nouncement shortly after the commit
tee had formulated its decision.
AS an inducement Tor iIe school or
ganization Pearl River county agrees
to put up $4,000 annually while other
donations amount to $1,000 per year
Prof. Smith stated that after going
carefully over all the applications for
the school and considering every pos
sible qualification the committee had
found that the offer of Pearl River
county was the most attractive
The model school organization con
templates the employment of a full
time health officer who will look after
the sanitation of the schools of the
county; an assistant to the county
superintendent of education, together
with such other clerical help as he
may need. Also farm demonstrator
and home economics agent will be en-
ployed
The Agricultural High School will
become the school center of the coun-
ty and at this building the various of
ficers mentioned above will maintain
headquarters.
Pearl River is one of the southern
counties of the state, its county seat
being Poplarville. The announcement
that it was awarded the school organi-
cation Occasioned some little surprise
as those who profess to know good
deal about the matter, had considered
other counties much stronger.
The commission commenced hear
ing from delegations Saturday, the
rule being that one one advocate of a
county was admitted at a time and he
was given u minutes in which to pre-
sent his claims The commission was
much interested in the representa-
lions made by the various counties
and the problem of selecting the most
advantageous was indeed a knotty one.

LIKES TAT COLLEGE

Blaine Simmons, who is employed
as field agent for the University of
South Dakota, was in the city last
Tuesday on business in connection
with his work. He states, after look
ing over the college grounds and
buildings, that he was %astonished at
the rapid and substantial growth of
the institution. The State College,"
said he, lis becoming more and more
popular each year among the people of
the state and in its sphere has come to
be of immense service to the citizens
generally. Under the guidance of
President Perisho, the institution can
not fail to make rapid progress.
Prospects for the State University
never looked brighter than at present.
President Slagle has made an admir-
able executive, and under his admin
istration the university has made re-
markable advancement both in stand
ards of scholarships and equipment.
The beginning of the next school
year will find several new departments
of study added and others greatly
enlarged. President Slagle has spared
no efforts in getting the most efficient
instructors to head these departments.
The departments to be added are those
of Journalism and Fine Arts, and
those to be enlarged are Home Econ
omics, Commerce and Finance, and
Chemistry. The new Chemistry build
ing, erected at a cost of 500, 900 will
be completed and ready for occupancy
by September /. The Department Of
Chemistry and Home Economics will
occupy this building. The congested
condition which formerly existed in
the old Science hall will thus be re-
lieved.
None but the most friendly feeling
should exist between the university
and the State College. Harmony as
wei las a hearty cooperation should
always exist between the institutions.
Both are excellent schools in their re-
spective fields. South Dakota young
men, and women seeking advanced in
struction should consider seriously the
advantages for higher learning offered
in their own state schools.

LUCE LINE NEWS

News from the Luce Line which has
leaked out of Minneapolis of late has
rather worried local people. The trend
of this news is that the Luces are IN
decided whether they will build their
road west or south of Winsted. 1t is
of vital interest to Bookings of course
that the line be continued on westward
and that is the contract with our peo-
pie. To have the line strike off in m
other direction after promising to d.
rect all it's energies to reaching Brook
ings would be regarded here as a
breach of contract. Bookings has al
ways had the greatest confidence in
Col. Luce and his father and we can
not believe that they would break
faith by building to the south. They
have taken B~rookings money to the
amount Of $4,000 as well as large
sums east of here, and Brookings peo-
pie will insist that it be used in build
ing the line In this direction. OF

faith in the ultimate arrival of the

TELEPHONE COMPANY WINS

Information of interest and import
ance to all South Dakotans was re.
ceived from Minneapolis, say the
Dakota Central Telephone company re-
ceived word that Judge Wilbur F.
Booth of the federal district court for
Minnesota, had granted a permanent
injunction restraining the city of Nit
chell from interfering with the opera
tions of the Dakota Central company
in that city.
The decision marks what is prob
ably the elimination of a long-drawn
out fight in which the city authorities
at Mitchell sought to GUST the tele-
phone company from that city and pre-
ven it from doing business there. The
company c%ontended it had a franchise
from the city, and was entitled to con-
tinue in business under the franchise.
The city disputed the company's claim
but the federal court has held that the
telephone company's position was cor
rect and the city government at Nit
chell is enjoined from further attempts
to interfere with the company's bust
ness at that point.
The Dakota Central won a similar
case at Huron, and the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange company won a
case at Vermillion in which the same
issues were involved, and the decision
of the federal district court vas sus-
tanned on appeal by the city of Vermil-
lion, by the federal court of appeals.

Illness will be one of the most import
ant details. 1t is planned to have

A GREAT GAM

~Brookings lost a great game to Tor
onto on the local field last Friday af-
ternoon. For twelve innings the teams
struggled without a score, but in the

game effort to win or tie the game and
got one score across in their half.
Both Olson of Brookings and Hovde of
Toronto pitched great ball. Olson
struck out nineteen lei and Hovde
twenty, and the hits were four and
six, Toronto having the long end. At

BETTER FARMING FOR DAWSON

The Dawson County Better Farm
ing association, through their direc-

ment for government aid and have
filed their application with the county
commissioners and are hopeful and
believe an expert will be in charge by
August /. This will give him a chance
to formulate plans and distribute in
formation so that all can have advised
with him before laying their plans
for the 1916 crop. 1t is conceded that
much good can be brought about and
tonnage from the land greatly increas-
ed and quality of hogs and cattle
greatly improved by properly educat-

PROMOTERS UNSATISFACTORY

Considerable dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed by both the Webster and Clark
papers over the methods of the pro-
motors of the proposed Huron and
Northeastern road, says a Clark dis
patch. At first it was announced the
promoters were asking for no cash
donations of any sort from any town
all they wanted was a right of way.
Then, according to the Clark papers
the promoters indicated a willingness
to change the route so the proposed
line would pass through Clark, and the
division headquarters and machine
shops located at Clark. The Clark
people held a mass meeting to take
up the matter with the promoters, and
were surprised to learn the latter de-
manded a gift outright of from 100000
to $4,000 to pay the cost Of the
change of route, with no positive
promise regarding what the road
would do for Clark. Clark people had
expected to be asked to donate SO 1000
or $4,000.
Then, too. the Clark people had un-
derstood that whatever donations they
gave would be exchangeable for town
lots in the new towns to be built along
the line of the 9 road. but this, too.
proved intangible.

used for the most part. The bride
wore her travelling suit, and carried
carnations. After the service a splen-
did dinner was served to the twenty
guests.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall left immediate

they will be at home in Brookings
