viii Be Placed In Commission With
Full Crews.

Washington, June 22.-Presldent
Wilson wants bigger battleship
building program authorized by the
present session of congress than that
provided In the house navy bill which
Is now In the senate committee on
naval affairs.
At conference with Secretary Dan
iels and Senators Tillman and Swan
son he indicated he would approve q
program of eight capital ships. two
dreadnaughts and six battle cruisers.
The house bill provides for five bat
tie cruisers and no dreadnaughts.
The three additional ships would add
at least $6O,OO0,OOO to the heavy navy
budget.
Senators Tlllman and Swanson
agree with the president and the
senate committee Is certain to add
at least two dreadnaughts to the
house program. 1t Is believed the
house committee on naval affairs
and the house itself, In view of pres
ent conditions, will agree to the en-
larged program.

president and Secretary Daniels,
Senator Tillman, chairman of the
naval affairs committee. held a meet
ing of his committee and the navy
bill was referred to subcommittee
consisting of Senators Tillman, Swan
son and Lodge, all big-navy men, for
consideration and report to the
general committee. This subcommit-
tee is expected to get the bill out with
little delay.
The senate. committee also APP
proved the house bill authorizing
contractors who are building fleet
submarines to turn them out with Il
maximum speed of 10 instead of 70
knots an hour.
Secretary Daniels, backed by the adj
ministratlon, urged congress to author
lie sufficient increase In the enlisted
personnel of the navy to permit the
manning of every war vessel now in
reserve or out of commission.
The increase called for is approx
mately 10000 men, with almost dis
cretionary authority to the president
to add an additional 1900 men in the
event of war or other emergency. The
present authorized enlistment of the
navy is $1,000, but not including re-
cruits. The number now enlisted, in
Guiding recruits, Is 5000 enlisted men.
The administration asked for an actual
Increase bringing the total up to 74,70O
men, and In the event of war emer-
gency to raise the total by presidential
order to $1,000.
The purpose Of this action is to en-
able the navy department to place
every reserve ship in commission.

turned last Thursday night from an

Their object was not alone to see
the style of school buildings in the
several cities they visited but to con-
suit architects in each place and get
new ideas about the latest school
buildings, and they came back feeling
they were well paid for their time and
money spent. They got the best ideas
at Sioux Falls and New Ulm and think
they a use some of them here in case
a new building is erected. They were
we'll treated everywhere and archi-
tects yer only too glad to assist them
in every way possible.

NIGHT SHOW AND FIREWORKS GREAT
Brookings County People Urged to
Help Make Silver Anniversary the
Best in Fair History

Next Tuesday the annual exhibition
of the Bookings County Fair will open
on the fair grounds. Twenty-Five years
ago the first fair was held in this city
on the grounds southeast of town,
so that this year is really the silver
anniversary of the association.
Every year sees new additions to
the equipment of the fair and this
year the Woman's building has been
increased in capacity by the addition
of a second floor in the building. The
swine sheds have also been rebuilt and
increased a third in number Of pens,
and other smaller improvements have
been made.
The grounds are being thoroughly
cleaned and put in shape this week,
the buildings are being cleaned and all
arrangements are being made to have
this years fair bigger and better than
ever.
There seems to be an increased in
terest in the fair all over the county
farmers we believe hat the exhibits
will be up to and far beyond the past
in excellence and number. Everyone
who has anything that can be exhibit
ed is urged to bring their articles and
help this year to make the fair one
that will long be remembered for its
exhibition of the resources of this
grand old county of Bookings.
We are assured by the fair manage
ment that there will be no disappoint-
ments in the way of the big amuse-
ments, as the fireworks company al
ready have all their stuff stored right
here in Brookings to produce the big
fireworks display that will make the
Night Fair a hummer and a success.
All the automobiles that come to the
fair will find plenty of parking space
in the inleld or oval inside of the race
track and the small price of admission
at the gate, twenty-five cents, includes
this privilege.
Taking everything into considera-
ton we believe that the Silver Ami
versary of the Brookings county fair
will be a grand success and that those
who miss attending will ever regret it.
The list of amusement attractions
includes horse racing, six acts on the
platform in the afternoon and five in
the evening, fireworks, games, sports
and music everyday by the band that
made Brookings famous.
Remember that the night show costs
only a quarter and that the grandstand
is free at night, and that there will b.
no charge for vehicles and autos at
the night fair.
