Monday, December 4 1916, has
been designated as Prominent Buy

greatest day in the history of the au-

There never has been any question

country in its stupendous and far

Mr.. Ollier. like every other mem

So, 900 to $4,000 for their motor
lcars, such people would be quick to
recognize that value. Mr.. Ollier I'M
lmediately instructed Studebaker
dealers all over the country to get in
touch with the most prominent peo-
lple in their vicinity.
Dealers and statesmen, greatly en-
Unused over the new models, lost no

FORMER PROFESSOR ARRESTED

Philip B. Peyton. professor of mill
tary science and military tactics at the
State College 1911-12, was arrested re-
Gently, according to newspaper reports,
along with two other U. S. Army lieu
tenants, because they are alleged to
have led a detachment of fourteen men
across the Rio Grarde river into Mexi-
can territory to rescue two American
soldiers who swan the river and were
captured by Mexicans.
General Funston ordered the young
officers arrested because they had vio-
lated his orders that no American sol
der, under any circumstances, should
cross the border. General Funston's
action was approved by Washington
officials.
The dispatch from General Funston
discloses the fact that the two Ameri-
cans were captured and four others
were injured by armed Mexicans while
they were swimming in the Rio
Grande. Those captured were return
ed the next afternoon unframed to the
United States authorities.

The building and stock, except the

OVER MILLION DOLLARS WORTH
OF DAIRY PRODUCTS FROM
COUNTY DURING 1915
FIFTY-THREE MILLION POUNDS Of MILK
The Entire State More Than Doubled
The Output Since 1910 on 44,337

BroOkings county made an enviable
record as a dairy center during 1915
producing 53,170, 900 pounds of milk
462,639 pounds of butter and 1876
pounds OF cream sold. the average Civ
the county second place in the state.
Mlnnehaha county came first in the
production of milk with 5S.17l, 900 and
Beadle second with 54,312, 600 pounds.
Bon Homme county first in butter with
5S6,626 pounds and Brookings second.
Minnehaha produced 2,7S0,427 pounds
OF cream sold and Bookings second
with 1856, 716 pounds sold.
The total value Of the dairy returns
to Brookings county is estimated At
81, 270 ,65O.23 for twelve months. This
enormous return came from the small
number of 1854 cows.
The entire state produced 1921 1885,
600 pounds of milk during the year an
increase of 961 sos, 1888 pounds in five
years. The total milk came from
325,427 cows, being 44,337 fewer than
five years ago. The figures are re-
markable in that they indicate that
the production more than doubled
since 1910 and on 44,337 fewer COWS at
that. This fact shows the enormous
rate at which the herds of the state
MO ~, sN L.. -.
bred animals and the services of ex-
pert dairymen.
The dairy industry of the entire
state has even greater chances of ex-
pansion when marketing conditions
are improved.
Bookings county alone would pro-
vide IN excellent location for a big

A STIRRING POSITION

Big money is not made because of

by men who can afford to hire big law
yers to show them how to break the
law, | went to Jail for something /

lice wouldn't let me earn an honest
living. Well, now I'm making more
than a living dishonestly-and my law
yer is showing me how to do It," Such
is the theme of Within the Law" by
Bayard WELLER. 1t is not merely one
of the most vivid and stirring, but it
has a real and vital theme, and it
poses a question absolutely unanswer-
able under present conditions. For a
~melodrama to achieve the effect of
making an audience feel deeply and
actually perpetrate a little thinking IS
a feat for which the author really de-
serves all credit.
Moreover, he has drawn a fascinat-
ing character in the central figure. AS
a shop girl she is arrested and wrong
fully convicted-railroaded, to be pre-
else. She is given an extra severe SEN
tence because the proprietor Of the de-
partment store pays a personal visit
to the court and impresses upon the
judge the necessity of making her a
warning to the others.
Before she goes to prison the en-
ployer offers to make things easier for
her if she will give any information to
help him put a stop to the thievery
that is going on. To his indignant
amazement she says: "Yes-pay the
girls a living wage. How do you ex-
pect them to be honest on six dollars
a week" 1t is superbly acted by Dor
othy Leverne as the girl and others of
equal ability. II is the scene to wiring
the heart and make the blood boil of

FIRST PRIZE SILVER CUP AWARD
ED BY s. D. DAlRYMEN's AND
BUTTERMAkERS' ASSN
SCORED 93.25 IN THE SIX CONTESTS
Similar Prize Awarded at South Da-
kota State Fair in 1914 for Best
Creamery Butter

Thos. Bang, proprietor of the Brook
ings Creamery, received last week a
beautiful silver cup as first award from
the South Dakota Dairymen's and But
termakers' association for the best
creamery butter manufactured in
South Dakota.
The butter manufactured by Mr..
Bang went through six scoring contests
competing with butter from all sec
tons of the state. The final results of
the contest gave the Brookings pro-
duct a score of 1925 per cent, lacking
just CTS per cent reaching the pure
mark.
This is the second successive year
Mr.. Bang has brought home to Brook
ings first prize for the best creamery
butter manufactured in the state. AT
the South Dakota State Fair in 1914 he
was given a silver cup as first prize by
the South Dakota Dairymen's and But
termakers' association.
First prizes are no easy acquisitions
in a state producing over eleven mil
lion pounds of butter, as did South Da-
kota in a short period of twelve
months of 1915.
