State Battles to Draw

States football team showed up
well against the University of North
Dakota at Fargo, N. d., last Saturday.
Neither team was able to score al
though both were within easy striking
distance of the goal several times, but
each lacked the punch to put the ball
across. Once South Dakota had a
touchdown within its grasp, but Skin
ner fumbled as he was crossing the
goal line and North Dakota recovered
the ball. During the remainder Of the
game the Brookings team was unable
to get within striking distance of the
goal.
Once before. early in the game. Skin
ner intercepted a forward pass and
rae ed to the very shadow of the Flick
err all goal. It looked like a touch
down, but Mckay made a brilliant

HAS EXPERIENCE WITH EUROPE

Brookings County Commissioner
Herman Halvorson, received an illus
tration last week of the carefulness of
the European governments during the
time of war, says the Sinai CORES
pendent of the Volga Tribune. A cable
gram was sent by Mr.. Halvorson to
his brother Peter in Madagascar. In
sending the %cablegram announcing the
death of his mother Mr.. Halyorson
quoted two verses of scripture as it
had been planned that the brother in
Madagascar, who is a minister, should
hold services at the same time as the
services were held at the home and
the same text be used. Because the
number of the chapter and the number
of the verses were given in rotation,
the English government held up the
cablegram for instructions, evidently
believing that some Cypher message
was on its way. The Sinai operator
was notified of the state of affairs, and
after some delay, the matter was final
ly explained to the satisfaction of the
English government by the add ION Of
the word verses" The cablegram
consisted of fourteen words and cost
the sender 1886, and it is probable
that the British government spent sew
eral times that amount before IL was
convinced that the message was purely
a personal one from brother to an
other announcing the death of their
mother.

IN MOVIE FILMS
CAMERA MAN WILL BE HERE
NEXT SATURDAY TO TAKE IN
ENTIRE CITY AND FARMS
BUSINESS MEN ARE BEHIND MOVEMENT
Views of Business Houses, Residences,
Etc, Will Be Secured and viii Be
Run Here in Two Weeks

Arrangements are in the making by
a number of Brookings business men
with a well known moving picture cor
poration to have a series of motion pic
lures taken of the business houses,
residences and farms in and about the
city, also scenes OF Hobo Day; in fact,
anything of interest in the city.
The camera man will be here next
Saturday and it is hoped that as many
of Bookings county farmers as will be
able will be in the city. 1t is desired
to have as many in the pictures as can
be obtained. Later the film will be
shown at the Pleasant Hour theatre,
possibly OF Friday and Saturday, No
vember 10 and 20. In fact, the film
will be kept in Brookings and will be
shown at irregular intervals whenever
the occasion seems propitious.
The motion picture is a novel means
of publicity and a number Of the more
progressive cities of the Northwest
are taking up the proposition with en-
thusiasm. No city in South Dakota
has greater natural advantages to ex-
plot than ~Brookings, and the business
men who are backing the venture
hope that those who are given the priv.
ilege Of seeing Brookings as the cam
era sees it will more fully appreciate
the advantages of the city from a
scenic standpoint

STERLING IS FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
SENIOR SENATOR CANNOT AC-
CEPT ALL OF ADMINISTRATION
PLAN, HOWEVER, HE SAYS
TALKSON PREPAREDNESS"
Touches on Military Situation Of u. S.
and Advises Young People-Looks
for Busy Session of Congress

cOulu bdhOld > ScUlOI u. %. StlldJOI,
Thomas Sterling of Vermillion, be-
lieves in reasonable preparedness for
a possible military emergency, but he
would not go to the lengths the admin
istration at Washington now proposes,
he said to a Register reporter Tuesday
evening.
Senator Sterling delivered an ad-
dress at the chapel exercises at State
College Tuesday morning. His subject
was Preparedness" and he first touch
ed upon the military situation of the
United States.
Il am only partially in favor of
President Wilson's program of pre-
paredness," he said. However, | be-
lieve this country should be better pre-
pared than it is at present for a posi-
bic war"
Just as a nation should be prepared
for unforeseen difficulties, so should we
be prepared for unforeseen difficulties
in our everyday lives" continued the
speaker to the students. eve should
be prepared to both accomplish the
end toward which We are striving and
overcome the evils that beset us in
our ~endeavors."
National Defense Only Question
In his statement to the Register rep
r~esentative the senator said, "A ma
terial increase in our army and navy
is, l am convinced, necessary, but
have not formed convictions as yet as
to the extent to which preparedness
should go. OF course the United States
should contemplate nothing further
than adequate equipment for protect
ing the country against possible ag-
gression; national defense is the only
consideration we should have"
81 am not prepared to say that | ap-
prove the preparedness program of
the administration. 1t seems to me
that they propose to carry a good idea
10 an extreme. Possibly it is expected
by the promoters Of the project de-
scribed in the dispatches that their
recommendations will be pared down
considerably when congress takes up
the subject, and the proposals have
been made with the view of actually
obtaining less than is asked"
Coast Defense Most Urgent
When asked by the reporter as to
what his idea Of adequate prepared
ness is, the senator said that there are
technical phases of the subject with
which a senator or congressman a
be scarcely familiar until expert
sources are heard from.
"In a general way" he said, II be-
lieve the question Of coast defense to
be the most urgent. There is reason to
believe we need more submarines, and
naval authorities favor the big battle
ship, built for speed. And / think there
can be no question but that we need a
bigger army"
Senator Sterling will return to
Washington tomorrow. He said that
he expects the coming session Of con-
gress to be Of the utmost Importance.
There IL enough business left over

STATE BATTLES N.D.U. TO SCORELESS TIE
tumble Spells Aggies' Chance to Score
and FIickertaiIs' Forward Passes
Fail at Crucial Piints

OF course there are excuses. There
always are. Anyway, the Bookings
high school football team tasted its
first defeat of the season at Water
town last Saturday. One little measly
point, Brookings 6 and Watertown 7,
tells the story.
Playing in a field almost entirely
covered with loose sand the local high
school eleven was completely democrat
lied last Saturday. 1t is hard enough
to play football with good old Mother
Earth and green sod underneath ones
feet but when said earth consists Of
fine, loose particles of sand, something
Brookings teams are unused to-well,
B. II. S. was temporarily checked in
the race for state championship. But
only temporarily. That defeat last
Saturday was a blessing. Pierre and
Huron will meet the "scrapiest" foot
ball team in the state when they meet
Brookings high and the question of
state championship will not be in
doubt.
Big Crowd at Game
The game at Watertown last Satur-
day and was one of the best high
school gridiron contests in the state
and reports from that city say it was
the best ever seen on a Watertown
field. Hundreds of Watertown fans
were present and a number Of Royal
Rooters' from Brookings were on
hand to cheer the locals. The south
side of the field was packed four and
five deep and scores of automobiles
lined both sides and even the ends of
the gridiron. Despite a wind that
amounted almost to a gale from the
south and interfered seriously with
kicks and passes, every inch Of ground
gained or lost was fought hard by both
elevens.
Bookings slight advantage in
weight was balanced by Watertown's
speed and the game was a battle royal.
The ball see-sawed back and forth
across the field by short gains. the
sandy field preventing many sensa-
tional long runs. Both teams made
their lone touchdown in the second
quarter. Schooley, Watertown's quar-
ter back, skirted Brookings' left end
and covered forty yards to the goal
posts with good interference by his
fellow players and his W speed.
Helbing kicked a neat diagonal goal
against the wind for another point
that was to win the game.
Brookings scored shortly after the
Watertown tally. Wexler advanced
the ball to within striking distance of
the goal in an end run with perfect
interference by Kennard, Severson
and Simmons. Slow short gains with
Kennard leading the attack advanced
the ball to near the goal line and
Wexler larried it over for the touch
down. Kennard missed the goal kick
by a narrow margin giving Water
town the necessary one-point lead.

less make good reading" and if you are inclined to blame the editor because he doesn't print all the news" consider that some home has had enough worry over unfor- tunnate happenings, and that the gossips and scandal mongers of the community can and will gladly and ghoulishly give sufficient publicity to the details to satisfy the lowest tastes. Inedently, it might be re- marked here that the most com plaint of censored news comes from people who have now or have had in their lives some things they are very glad were not given news paper publicity. There comes times, of course, when it is the def mite business of the local newspa- pers to speak right out in meeting to tell what happened; to give open publicity to conditions that are a reproach to a community and for which the light of publicity seems the only cure. Tolerance is not a lack of courage.

The Newspapers Courage.

Once in a while somebody gets the idea that the reason the local paper does not report every scan dal that comes to public knowledge is because the publisher is afraid. That's not the reason. The reput- able newspaper, especially in a small town where everyone is a neighbor to everyone else. takes no delight in giving publicity to those things that have brought disgrace to some family or heartache to some wife or mother. It is much more pleasant to record the good things that happen, to tell about the incidents that tend to make life more endurable, and that uplift rather than tear down, that bring joy instead of sorrow, pride instead

Home Canning of Vegetables and Fruit.

The general war outlook in Europe indicates a gloomy pros pect for the cotton market this fall In fact, the price of cotton for fu- ture delivery has been declining for the past thirty days.
 This impresses the importance of the farmers in this State and the South preparing for the hard times that may continue through the next season, by taking advantage of every opportunity available to provide living at home from the products of the farm. One of the best means of doing this is to pro- vide yourself with a small home canning outfit. to can fruits and vegetables for table use during the winter and early spring months.
 The outfits are complete and are accompanied with full instructions for canning all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and besides the manu- lecturers will often send a man to show you how to operate them. SThe dealers will furnish the cans, with solder on them, and also at traetive labels if you want them. so your canned goods will look as attractive and be as good as any sold in the stores. The canning outfits sell as low as $Z.5O and up to $50 and higher. With a $25 outfit you can put up 800 to BOG cans a day with the labor of iron two to four people. Some of tn, manufacturers sell their outfits fo 1 part cash and the balance on time It will be an easy matter to buy { $25 outfit and pay for it out of the profits on beans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins, that can yet be grown in time for canning this season.
