The third entry in the six annual

ISOLATION was held at State College
creamery last week with the follow
ing results: Thos. Bang, B~rookings,
first, "a points; J. H.. Brockway, Spear

and f. o. lynda, Milbank. being tied
for third place with 80 points each.
There is yet a good chance for
those who have not made winnings, in
the three contests which are as fol-

Dairy Expert and secretary Of the
Dairymen's association, because many
scorings not published are very close"
OF the last contest Mr.. Ryger says:
This lot Of butter was fair in quality,
but not as good as butter produced
during this time of the year ought to
be. The general workmanship was
good; only two were scored slightly
off in color and one in body.
However, considering that only sc
per CEN of the buttermakers in this
entry had ~pasteurized and used starter
and whose score averaged about l
per cent higher than the "a per cent
who had not pasteurized or used
starter II would ha fair IN asSume
that the workmanship affecting flavor
could be improved by the general use
of pasteurization and starter. In this
connection it Is noteworthy also that
the three highest scores were made
with the use of ~pasteurizer and starter.

A suggestion has been made that the
government rural routes, in certain
districts, be readjusted in order that
mail may be distributed and collected
on a twice a day basis, the vehicles
used being large auto motors. similar
to what are commonly called rubber
neck wagons in cities. These vehicles
are capable of carrying from thirty to
forty children to and from their school,
and a five cent fare each way would re-
lieve the government from any addi-
tional expense for the service. AS

Watertown Herald: Automobile
dealers are %bemoaning the lack of cars
from the factory, several Of the deal
ers in WATERFOWL not having had a
car to sell for six weeks or more. A
year or two ago it was said that it
wouldn't be long before the supply
would overcome the demand but at the
present time the demand seems to
have 1t on" the supply worse than
ever. Thousands Of cars have been
sold in the state this spring. Last year
by the first of August only about 49,
900 cars were owned in the state, but
the other day we saw one number well
over the % 900 mark, and this so early
in the year. Many who have already
purchased cars are idly waiting their
appearance from the factory and 1t is
safe to say that If all orders were filled
that have been taken so far this year
there would be over 10000 cars in the
state-an increase of about so per cent
in one year. Who says South Dakota
isn't the richest state in the union?

THE POWER PLANT QUESTION
CONTINUED From Page One)

If the private corporation desired
this privilege it would be emphatically
denied. If for the sake Of maintaining
public utilities w must make conces~
SONS and submit to abuses above
those allowed corporations, then city
ownership stands branded as a failure.
Should this cheap and ugly" policy
be adopted who can prophesy its end.
In case the much desired gas plant
be installed at some future time its
proper location would be near the
power house that the same tracks
might supply coal for both projects.
Picture the huge and ugly gas tanks
in n Of the most public places of the
city, Again, should garbage collection
and an incinerating plant ever become
a reality, a logical site for i; in a
utilities scheme would be near the
power house, as some coal must be
used in starting an incinerator, and
in many cities the heat obtained in
garbage reduction is utilized, and
should be utilized in Brookings.
The time to start right is now. Let
us rectify our first error, have the
power plant moved to some retired
place which is large enough to rebuild
it adequately and provide sizes for the

has refrained from trying to prejudice

on this important question. We be-
lieve the people should decide it by

THE PIX Err

The paths of ease are only myths
and it was ever thus. Don't think that
you can ride to fame Upon a jitney bus.
The other fellows job looks soft and
just the kind you'd like, but try it out
and you will find, that you must hit the
pike. And if you're not there with the
push and energy galore, you're nothing
but a piker, piking for the other shore.
The world has use for men who work
and needs them every one, but nature
prods the bubble and puts pikers on
the run. The elevator going down Is
loaded with the guys, who white dry
goods boxes and build castles in the
skies. Some men will sit as though
spiked down and spin their tales OF
woe. While others with their wander
lust are always on the go. Thus dis
content takes different forms, but
brings the same result. 1t heads you
for a Hotel de Gink to join the Hobo
cult. Then let us all turn on the light
and watch ourselves go by, and get a
lire on what we are and know the rea-
son why. 1t matters not what stage
we've reached, there's always room to
grow. So do not be a piker, just be
careful what you sow.-By Lorin II.

THE CROW'S=NEST

Some of the city papers claim that
their small boys are killing song birds
with %air-guns. They are calling on the
police and the humane societies to sup
press the abuse by disarming the boys
of such weapons. 1t is to the credit of
the boys in ~Brookings that they are
not destroying our birds, SO far as it is
noticeable at present. AS an evidence
of this, birds in this locality are very
tame and seem to have very little
sense of fear. Robins will run along
within a few feet Of a person while
hunting their food and have been no
ticed running around ones chair On a
lawn within a few feet of the occu-
pant, as ~unconcerned as possible. No
doubt much Of this sentiment against
the wanton killing of birds is prompt
ed in our schools and in the family cir
Gle. Many children are the pOssessOrs
Of bird books and take more pleasure
in the finding and naming of the
many varieties of our summer bird
visitors than in the killing of them and
making them afraid. 1t is a custom
that should be encourage by everyone
and the t]houghtless destruction Of
bird life should be frowned upon by all
good people. During the last few
days of the f~ireCracker season some Of
the birds were perching high and the
writer missed the early morning song
of his favorite brown thrush. When all
the crackers are gone things will be
normal again.

AN ALASKA HONEYMOON

Strange honeymoon trips sometimes
fall to the lot of northern tribes. A
newly. welded couple at Whiteho1se
wished to go to Dawson, their home-to-
be. But they were too late in the
season to catch the last steamer up the
Yukon and for month they waited in
Whitehorse. When the first snow came
they set out for home by the overland
route. A strange bridal outfit it was;
dogs, grub-box and sled big enough
for two, and an arduous bridal tour
ahead of them, via the winter Yukon
trail. But they had a good time The
weather was not too sharp, the going
was good and the numerous roadhouses
along the Dawson trail made convenient
stopping places. When they reached
Dawson, they declared that they had
, not a dull moment or an uncomfortable
experience, and that dog-sled wedding
trips in the North were good One car

not be "a dull moment" under sucf

tors, will be given during session.
