tional trouble at the border which is
holding the attention OF every Amerl-

about four years ago, being employed
at that time in the internal revenue
office and who is now a stenographer

State College Again Hostess.

State college will for the second
year be hostess to the high schools OF
South Dakota in their official inter
scholastic track and field meet on
May 10. and declamatory contest on
the evening of May Is. Practically ev-
cry high school in the state which has
a team will be represented at the
meet. One fact will tend to create
great interest in the Brookings meet,
and that is, the meet is open only to
South Dakota schools, with no danger
of an outsider capturing the cup. The
college is already receiving letters Of
inquiry relative to entertainment, med
ais, etc. State is making elaborate
plans to run off the snappiest meet III
the history of the high school associa-
ton, by improving an already fast Gin
der track and having all details at
tended to before the meet begins. Wa
tertown high school won the 1915 meet
on State field. Winners of other places
we're in order as follows: Sioux Falls,
Brookings, LennoX, Mitchell, Huron.

Falls won the beautiful relay banner.

was placed on the ballot as a contest
ant against Wheeler, the present in
land county seat, at the fall election,
Lake Andes having prepared her petit
tions, while the other towns of the
county were trying to arrange for a
county seat primary. A mass meeting
was held here, at which a report Of the
local committee was made. and there
is some probability Of the action of the
county commissioners finding its way
into the courts, as it is claimed thai
they acted on a preconceived plan, and
practically refused to consider the pe-
titions of either Platte, Geddes or Re
vinia.

last shipment was valued at about
S100, 600, which is claimed to be the

OF tungsten has advanced to $110,
which would make the same shipment
today valued aboit s14o 600. The
