 as result. the employees have suffered. Indications were that the President, rec ognizing the situation, might propose special board of arbitration, if the nego- tiatons reach the arbitrating stage, composed of as many as 12 men, includ- 1 ing representatives of all the brother hoods.
 NO LEGISLATION EXPECTED Reports that the President had notified the managers that unless some agreement could be reached with the men, he would invoke his power to influence to pass on eight-hour law were circulated. but dis counted by those in close touch with the situation.
 T would fight any attempt to pass such a measure" was the terse remark of MT. Garretson, upon hearing the report.
 There was discussion today of the pos sibility of the President being chief ar bitrator In the dispute, but his position was understood to be that he has not the time. There was a possibility that, instead, he might name the so-called neu- trals on the board.
 The Presidents first conference was by Mr. Garretson, the delegation, con sisting of the executive officers of the four brotherhoods and six representatives from each, went to the White House and met the President in the green room. The conference lasted two hours. MT. Garretson did most of the talking for the employees The President asked him for full statement of the situation as the men viewed it. MT Garretson pointed out, it is understood, that the only con crete proposal made in the entire dispute had come from the men, and said they felt that before they took further steps, they should be advised what attitude the employers will assume and stand or fall on He argued that the railroads sum- moned the mediators to New York and then had no mediation proposal to sub init. # NO MORE DELAY WANTED Sufficient time has elapsed since the
 strike first was suggested and enough
 delays have ensued, MT. Garetson is un-
 derstood to have declared, to permit the railroads to submit any sort of an un- qualified proposal which they might have in mind
 Many questions regarding the situation
 were asked by the President and the
 brotherhood representatives were im- pressed by his grasp of the situation
 When the employers representatives
 emerged from the White House. they
 faced battery of cameras and about
 100 newspaper men. They were willing
 to pose for pictures. but unwilling to
 talk.
 "As long as this matter is in the Pres
 ident's hands, we will have no state
 ment to make" MT. Garretson said
 MT. Garretson added. however, that the
 brotherhood representatives would go to
 their hotel and return to the White
 House whenever the President desired
 them They waited throughout the after
 noon while the President conferred with
 the railroad managers. but the only word
 that came was the summons to meet with
 the executive again tomorrow afternoon
 Three hours after the employees repre-
 sentatives had left the White House, the
 employers managers met the President

Ethel Barrymore TOnight-Tonight
at the Palace Manager Best has the
great Ethel Barrymore in "The Final
Judgment" as the big attraction. No
star on the American stage enjoys
the distinction and popularity of Ethel
Barrymore. For years the bright par
ticular star of the late Charles Froh-
man. Miss Barrymore has probably
in more successes and made
more money than any other female
star. She has lately signed 5-year
contract to appear in motion pictures
and will appear exclusively under the
Metro management. 1.-THE Final
Judgment is a powerful story in 5
acts. 1t was written by
George Scarborough, who personally
selected the great cast to play and
produce it. This is the most expen-
sive picture yet brought to this city by
the Palace and will no doubt be ap-
preciated by the many patrons of the

HAML|NE PROVED
TO Be GOOD TEAM
GAVE STATE COLLEGE A HARD
FIGHT FOR FOOT BALL HON.
ORS LAST SATURDAY
SKINNER MADE THE ONLY TOUCHDOWN
Big Crowd Saw State College Bring
Home the Bacon Even II 1t
Was a Small Piece

The big team of Hamline Univer-
sity, Minneapolis, went down to de-
feat here Saturday in the presence Of
a big crowd of rOOters for the local
team. The game was %stubbornly
fought from start to finish by the de
tenders of Hamline's proud record as
foot ball players, and it was not until
the third quarter that State College
could get the ball over their line.
Skinner went yer in this quarter for
a touchdown and goal was kicked. The
last quarter proved a hard one too,
but nothing was accomplished by
either team.
No game this season was so filled
with thrills. The game was spectacu-
lar throughout, and time after time
the roar from the grandstands indicat-
ed that the crowd was keenly alive to
the rapid shifty plays which meant 80
much if successful. The machine-like
movements of both teams, the tricky
plays and the keen headwork display
ed proved fascinating and kept every
body on their toes throughout the
game.
Skinner, Dunn and Jennings as usual
carried off the honors, but the whole
team did fine work extensively and de-
fensively.
The score by quarters is as follows:
/ 2 8 4
Hamline ...............O 0 0 %
State College ..........0 0 7 %

CHANGE

The Flandreau Herald has been sold
by Geo. |. Harter to Theo. Erickson, a
newspaper man of wide experience.
Mr.. Erickson spent several years on
the Pacific coast dailies, doing strong
work on the Oregonian at Portland
and on one or two Seattle papers. He
is also a brilliant lawyer and practic-
ed his profession at Aberdeen several
years ago.
The Herald has been one of the
strong weeklies of this state, and was
published at one time by ex-congress-
man John E. Kelley and later for eight
years was under the management of
p. f. Levins, now city editor of the
Register. Mr.. Harter has owned the
paper the past two and one-half years
purchasing it from Mr.. Levins in
April. 1914.
The newspaper men of the state will
welcome Mr.. Erickson to their ranks,
and will expect the Herald under his
management to hold the high stand
ard it has held in the past.

THE MESSIAH

The date of the Messiah" is set for
December Sth and it is hoped that the
Choral Union will be greeted with the
largest audience of its experience as
this work above all others is the one
that is most universally given in all
parts of the world. The Messiah is
sung in practically all the principle
languages of the globe.
The ticket sellers will soon have
tickets for the season to sell and if you
stop to think of it, you could not hear
four such concerts as those given in
the Big Four Concerts course for
less than four dollars and here the
price Of a season ticket is 800 for the
entire season. Boost the good work
along and help keep such an organiza-
ton as the Choral Union in existence.

BIG SHO i

Visitors at the State College chrys-
anthemum show may study the evolu-
ton of the big jumbo blossoms from
small beginnings, covering about 1000
years of breeding and selection. Every
variety that could be obtained in
America is shown in the Bookings
display amounting to about 5000
plants embracing approximately 800
varieties.
The three greenhouses at tae col
lege are now clothed in a joyous
and gorgeous riot of color in large
and small NUNS, broad and narrow
NUNS, tall and short NUNS, and
double and single NUNS. The dis
plays are banked up artistically with
the idea of showing varieties to best
advantage.
Visitors will see the show (Which is
free) to best advantage by attending
at evening when the displays are light
ed by hundreds of electric bulbs in
Japanese lanterns. Music by the col
lege orchestra is another special fea-
ture of the night exhibit.
The show will be free also to Hobo

the extreme clarity of her technic and
a conservative as well as artistic use

her numbers, an unusually clean cut

the company to do business in South
Dakota. The board Of directors are
Geo. w. Cobel, Of the First National
Bank; II. +. Haroldson, of the Farm

Bank of Brookings; w. L. Montgom-
cry, president of the Iowa State Say-

and successful business men whose
regulations for honesty and integrity
are above reproach. They are men
who will handle the affairs of the COM
pany in a business like manner and
insure investors in the stock a square
deal at all times.
As previously stated the company
has plans completed which will call
for from 500 to 500 men to operate
the factory and conduct the business.
Quite a number of these men will be
highly skilled mechanics and experts,
but, nevertheless, part of the work
can be done by men of average intelli-
genCe and skill, and this will make
it possible for many local people to
find employment at the factory.
The men of the commercial club,
who have had this project in hand,
are to be congratulated on the part
they took in keeping Mr.. Brictson in
Bookings. As the years go by it will
become more apparent what a big
thing it is for this city, and what a fine
part these men played in it's retention.

ON MAKING FRIENDS

A lady who possesses millions said in
my hearing recently, II have three
homes and six automobiles and every
physical comfort, yet | am wretchedly
unhappy. 1t seems as though l would
be willing to give them all for friend
who really cared for me, just for my
self-a true friend"
A man of affairs. who has every mark
of material success, told me, 81 am
the most lonely and friendless man
in New York"
Why were these people dissatisfied?
In both cases, l am quite certain, 1t
was because they had spent their
money for that which was not bread;
they had lived for self; they had
failed to show themselves friendly.
1t is a sad thing to atrophy at the
top of ones being. It is sad thing TO
shut up ones nobler self in room too
small for the soul. 1t takes more than
comfortable things to make comfort.
The wings of the swiftest automobile
cannot carry man away from himself.
Are we making new friends? Are we
helping things along? What things
have we done the past year that will
live on in other lives made better by
our presence?
In ancient Athens there was a law
that any man who had lighted candle
and refused TO allow another to light
his candle at it, should be put to death.
A greater law exists in our souls, that
quenches the happiness of him who
fails to give.-THE CHRISTIAN HERALD.

BRAKING APPARATUS FOR
LOGGING VEHTCT ,FC

Heavy loads may be safely let down
the steepest grades by the use of a
new braking device that is particularly
designed for logging operations in hilly
or mountainous country. This device,
which is described and illustrated in
the November Popular Mechanics
Magazine, consists of four sheaves
mounted on solid frame that is an
chored to the top of the hill and is
equipped with hardwood blocks for
braking each of the sheaves Around
these sheaves runs a cable so arranged
that while one end of the cable is
being taken downhill the other is being
drawn In. The braking blocks are con-
trolled by two levers by which two or
four of the sheaves may be braked, as
may be necessary. The downgoing
wagon or sled is hitched to one end
of the cable. On winding road. roller
posts are set at each curve. On reach
ing the bottom of the hill the driver
unhooks the cable and notifies the man
at the top by means of an electric bell
The device is then ready for instant
use by the next wagon or sled.
