COLLEGE NOTES

The faculty of the State College
was very much in demand at the two
big association meetings, the grain
growers and stock breeders, held in
Mitchell last week. Both Prof. Wilson,
secretary of the Stock Breeders asso-
citation, and DR.. Hume, secretary of the
Grain Growers association, take much
interest in making the associations
successful and of broad value to the
farmers and stockmen of South Da-
kota.
Over $4,000 worth of fine stock OF
the State College was sold at Mitchell
last week during the meeting of the
breeders of South Dakota. BY this
practice concrete results of the college
are being carried to the stock raisers
of the sttae.
Seven members of the State College
faculty were in Mitchell last week dur
ing the two big association meetings.
One or more addresses were given on
different phases of the stock and grain
industry by each member present. The
party was made up of President
Perisho, Prof. J. w. Wilson, DR.. A. N.
Hume, Prof. c. Larsen, Prof. J. G. Hut
ton, Prof. A. S. Harding, and Miss
Wimple. A banquet attended by the
grain growers and breeders was held
on the last night of the meeting. Presi-
dent PerishO acted as POSTMASTER and
both Prof. Wilson and Prof. Hume de-
livered addresses.

W A. Caldwell and wife returned
from Lodi, Wis, last Wednesday. MISS
Louise McComb accompanied Mr.. and
Mrs. Caldwell and will remain here
for some time.
For the first time during the winter
of 1891 the trains were late last Mon
day. On Sunday a driving snow storm
occurred and, as usual, the State OF
Minnesota received the worst of the
storm. The trains were late at Tracy
and had to pillow through to Elkton.
This side of the state line they had
clear sailing. Since Monday the wea-
Their has been fine. The snow has
melted every day.

WILSON

Contrary to the general expectation
President Wilson, on his speech-mak-
ing tour in behalf of national defense,
has appealed to the people, gaining ap-
prevail from both the Republican and
Democratic parties alike. He has
strictly avoided conferences on politi-
cal subjects and 1t seems to have been
a very wise move If he expects success
to crown his efforts.
One Of the notable and commendablc
things in President Wilson is that he
has been ready to change his methods
and attitude on certain subjects; yet,
in doing so he has not shown any
lack of stability but rather a broad
~mindedness which few people in this
country show. In all of his acts 1t Is
plain that the President has let his
personal likes and dislikes give way to
the broader needs of the American peo-
pie. His sudden change from patient
pacifist to an apostle OF military pre-
pdl uhto otNillo laiiNi VuNtI w iiioIy
but 1t is clear for the greater good Of
the masses.
In President Wilson's speeches is
visible a vein of seriousness indicat-
ing hat there is a grave crisis at hand.
The American people are slow to be
talked into things and little short of a
great catastrophe will wake them up.
1t is not denseness but the great Amer
lean care-free, ha~ppy-golucky atti-
tude. Just the extent of how much
we must prepare for defense is hard to
determine but the President is impel-
led to get the public mind in a re-
ceptive attitude for his measures.
In the Presidents Pittsburgh and
Cleveland speeches are a number of
remarks which certainly should make

NEWS OF THE SCHOOL

The preliminary declamatory contest
which was held Friday was an event
of great interest to the students OF the

On Main street, a few days ago, a
little girl was trying to catch a ride on
a sled loaded with wheat. She missed
her footing and fell off SO that the hind
runner caught her just above the ankle
and pinioned her down till the loaded
sled passed over the imprisoned limb.
Had it not been for the soft snow in
the roadway at that time, which yield
ed enough to prevent a fracture, the
girl might have been made a cripple
for life. Some people may say that n
man Is a crouch for Directing to chill
dren catching a ride on passing sleds
or sleighs but it is this very fear of
some of the little folks getting hurt
that makes drivers nervous and causes
them to object the annoyance. Farm
ers are complaining of the nuisance
and parents should see that their chill
dren are not allowed to take chances
of being seriously hurt. If a child is
hurt the driver is not responsible.
If a man accepts an appointment on
a committee he has no right to be
tardy at committee meetings when
they are called. 1t often happens that
prompt members of a committee are
compelled to wait many minutes, and
sometimes the better part of an hour,
for enough to make a quorum for bust
