is the college of the state. The
title is no misnomer. 1t is what it
claims to be. 1t belongs to no
party or section. 1t is the college
of all the people and of all the parts
of South Dakota.
The Legislature has given it a
duty to perform. 1t has a certain
mission to fill. To do what the
people want the state and nation
have provided a faculty of seventy
splendid men and women, all en-
thusiastic in their work and all anx-
ious to do their part in helping &C
complish the purpose of the State
College.
The college has three distinct
lines of work:
l.. Original Research and Special
investigations.
2. Scholastic Teaching and Cen
eral Instruction.
3. Agricultural Extension and
Farm and Stock Demonstrations.
The first of these important lines,
Research and Investigation is large
ly done at the college in the soil
laboratories, horticultural rooms,
green houses, orchards, experiment.
al plots, dairy, breeding pens, and
stock barns. The work with soils
and crops on the college farm is
supplemented by scientific farming
at the substations at Highmofe,
Eureka. Cottonwood and Vivian.
All the collegiate agricultural and
special courses are given at the
college. These are ten regular four
year college courses in: Animal
Husbandry, Dairy Husbandry, Ag-
ronomy, Horticulture & Forestry,
Home Economics, Mechanical En-
gineering. Civil Engineering, Elec-
trical Engineering, Pharmacy and
General Science, which includes
work in not only the regular scien-
tfic Departments but also courses in
the Departments of English, Math-
ematics, Modern Languages, His.
tory, Education, Etc.
There are three three-year col
lege courses in music, Voice, Piano
and Violin; one regular two-year
college course in Pharmacy; one
regular four-year course in the
School of Agriculture; and nam
Der of special courses in Practical
Business Training, Secretarial work
Creamery, Cream testing, Traction,
Engineering, Automobile operation
and Farm & Home management.
The other important features of
the college is the general extention
work. This is variable field in
cluding explanations, illustrations,
and demonstrations for both farm
and home. Some of the special
features of this department are
meetings for farmers, home econo-
mic demonstration courses, dairy
testing. stock examinations, boys
and girls clubs, womens clubs, soil
examinations and analysis, seed
collecting and testing, hog cholera
treatment and general help for COM
munity centers.
The equipment in grounds, build
ings, and laboratories is sufficient
to enable the college to carry on
scientific Investigations and to give
thorough and practical instructions
along the lines for which the insti-
tuition was founded. The grounds
include the excellent farm OF four
hundred sixty acres, part OF which
is used for experiments in field
crops, the balance being devoted to
model stock and dairy farming.
The horticultural gardens of fifty
acres and the campus of sixty
acres are beautifully ornamented
with mary varities of trees and
shrubs. But with all this equip

PRESS COMMENT.


Public sentiment in certain sections
OF the state is responsible for the re-
yersal of the public utilities commits
sion decision on competition under the
public necessity and convenience sec
ton OF the law. The people in those
districts want power rates regulated
by competitiop and the commission
has decided In the Twin Falls case to
permit IL. This will mean raiding of
the existing concern, n temporary low
ering of rates, and ultimate consolida-
ton. Having let down the bars to
raiding In II section, the commission
VIII no doubt let them down In other
sections under similar pressure. While
this raiding is In progress and power
throats are being slashed, there is no
necessity for a public utilities com
mission. There is small %transporta-
ton reason for II, but any business In
that line could be handled by an Off
cial in one OF the departments. Why
force the entire state to pay seventy
five 'or a hundred thousand dollars a
year for n useless body, when the sec
lions directly affected by anything II
might or might not do will be amply
cared for through competition of pow
er concerns. IL is contended hat the
commission should be retained to pre-
vent a lowering OF the rates under com
petition. Imagine the public submit
ting to anything Of that sort! The
same influence that caused a reversal
of the commissions competition rul
would also It to approve any low
err rates offered during the raiding
process. The people in the districts
affected undoubtedly want competition.
The local vox populi has been heard
and favorably answered. but the state
at large should not be compelled to
pay a big bill for continuance OF a
commission that has sheared itself of
about the only excuse II had for exist
ing.-Boise Statesman.

Meeting IL In The Open.

Attorney General Petersen takes the
correct view of his indictment. II is
far better for him to be In position to
meet the charge In the open than to be
harpooned by the insinuating tongue of
scandal or to have the impression ere
ated that he sought or was given a coat
of whitewash.
The attorney general may rest as
sured that he will be given a square
deal and that no opportunity will be
denied him to prove his innocence of
any criminal intention or act, which
being, done will leave him to even a
fuller enjoyment OF the public conf
dence that has been so long reposed In
him.-Boise Statesman.

BASKET BALL GAME.
Rupert High School to Play Here To-
morrow Evening.

The first basketball game Of the
season will be played here tomorrow
evening at Odeon hall at eight o'clock
sharp, between teams from the high
schools Of Rupert and American Falls.
The American Falls team has had but
two weeks practice, owing to lack of
a hall prior to that time, but will
nevertheless make a good showing.
Four years & American Falls had
the best team In Southern Idaho. They
won the championship of the south
eastern part of the state, and then
played Emmett, the southwestern
champions, outplaying the latter by
several points. Owing to too much
enthusiasm of spectators the umpire
awarded the game to Emmett one
point at a time. The spectators we're
warned time and again and entreated
by superintendent Wallis not TO cheer
but all to no avail-they made EN-
NETT a present of the game by being
too demonstrative for the nervous tenn
permanent of the umpire.
Patrons of the school owe the Am
erican Falls team the encouragement
that will come from their presence,
but don't, please don't be too noisy.

WATCH HIM

Watch out for the man who is
trying to take the Joy out of life.
Ten to one he is a .reformer for
revenue only, who is trying to
make things appear worse than
they really are, in order to make a
place for himself at the public pie
counter. He'll get up an organi-
cation to find something that gives
pleasure to others-whether its
dancing, such as the young folks
enjoy, or playing cards, which
maybe some of the matrons like,
or billiards, or baseball, especially
on Sunday, or any other enjoyment
in which normal, healthy human
beings indulge. The first thing
such a man does is to go to the
capitol to prevent the passage of a
bill by which people will get some
enjoyment. He will try to have
things prohibited. He is always
trying to prevent something. Did
you ever see this kind of reformer
trying to have a bill passed that
would enable people to enjoy life.
Never! His sole idea is to force
through the legislature or the city
council a blue law to make other
people live according to his ideas,
or to prevent the passage of laws
introduced by other people who
may want to live differently. The
world is sad enough without losing
our pleasures. There is no place
in these red-blooded days for blue
laws. The pasty-faced complexion
has gone out of style and the rudy
glow of health tells that we are
living the right way. The healthy
man and woman. who loves life
and the good things he can get
from it, is a better citizen and
Christian by far than the dyspeptic
and selfish reformer who is reform
ing for living or to make other
people as miserable as himself.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1915-07-09

tourist splashes his car through
every wet spot he destroys that
road. He should have care for
his car and also for the road.
Every splash makes the mudhole
larger and adds to the repair bill
of his road and car. Miss these
holes and watch the next man
follow your trail. Keep out of the
rut. The next man will learn.
And thus all will learn in time and
the good roads will be preserved at
small cost for upkeep.

A Particularly Scenic Highway

When one may travel to Ely in
an automobile in less than an hour
if they like, it will then be realized
that we have some good roads in
this vicinity says the Tower News:
This road is one of the most
scenic highways that we have.
Particularly thrilling at night when
a wrong turn of the wrist of the
driver may send one hurting off
into space or over a cliff into the
forest. 1t is crookeder'n a
snake" and follows the contour of
the surface of the ground as nature
convulsed it once upon time.
And this time must have been a
rough house one, Judging by how
things cooled off into Jagged jasper
and acres and miles of boulders.
The building of a road through
this district of bad lands has been
a problem for the road builders,
but it has been accomplished. A
route has been found where the
average car can negotiate the hills,
the swamps and the curves readily.
One hill, known as the Armstrong
hill, has been the terror of the road
and today twenty men with teams
are Strengthening and grading this.
A large sum of money is being ex-
pended, but it will be money we'll
spent.
Right now the only bad strip of
road from Tower to Ely is the city
streets and the one to Soudan.
This Soudan road is full of dips
and terraces and needs attention.
1t is in worse condition for a car
than any road leading out or in
from the city.
Much work has been done on the
Ely road. Many short cuts have
been made and the old trails aban-
doned for easier grades. This road
is popular highway for cars and
brings many people to. Tower. 1t
certainly is in splendid condition
and its upkeep will be of small
moment owing to the permanency
In which it was built. Plans are
also under way to do away with
several of the dangerous railroad
1t is up to the wheelman, largely,
