office. He left here about 1904 and
went to Pierre, where he was a stem
~ographer in the federal court, after
wards held the same position at Sioux
Falls and at Aberdeen.
Three years ago he went to New
York with a few dollars in his pocket,
and entered the Pyrene Manufacturing
Co., which makes fire extinguishers,
as a salesman. In six months he was
sales-manager and later was placed at
the head of the advertising department.
This year the president resigned and
Mr.. Allen was elected to the position.
He is 80 years of age, the youngest
president of a million dollar concern
in America.
This shows what a South Dakota
boy can do, if he has the right kind of
material in him. State College and
students can take pride in the achieve
ments of Mr.. Allen, and Brookings peo-
pie who knew him will no doubt be
pleased to hear he is making good.

VOTED ON

Oklasodak:-A few more than five

waited for the midnight hour Friday,
and when Saturday morning was one
minute old they commenced marking
their electoral ballots, taking the pre-
scribed oaths before the attending no.
taries public, and depositing the mark
ed ballots with the postal authorities
for immediate transmission back to
the Sunshine State. Twelve Mess nails
were utilized as voting precincts and
those soldiers who were not entitled to
participate stood around in silent or
whispering groups while their com
rade exercised the supreme right of
American citizens. There was some.
thing uncanny about it all, the bright
clear moonlit sky and the soft warm
air. together with the glints of light
from lanterns carried throughout the
camp grounds. all tended to forcibly
impress the observer that something
unusual was going On. There was no
noise: awe seemed to DE the prevailing

CONCERT AT STATE COLLEGE

The next Sunday afternoon concert
will be held in the State College audi
forum Sunday afternoon, November
18th, at $3.50 sharp.
Mr.. Henry II. Loudenback, who for
a number of years was at the head of
the department Of music, and was well
liked by all who knew him both as a
gentleman as we'll IS a good musician,
i'll give the program at the Sunday
afternoon concert. His program is of
unusual interest inasmuch as it is a
historical piano program, beginning
with the early classics dating back to
1883 and coming down through the
ages of piano writings to the present
day writer's, giving a diversified and
interesting program from start to fin
ish.
Mr.. Loudenback is so well known it
is not necessary to urge that a large
attendance greet him at this his first
appearance in Brookings since we
have had u large auditorium, but a
have had the large auditorium at State
College, but a suggestion would be in
order that those who want to hear him
come early so as to get a good seat.
There will be no charge made at the
door but a silver collection will be
taken to defray expenses and as the
expense of getting Mr.. Loudenback
here from Atchison, Kansas. to give
this recital is quite heavy, it is hoped
that the collection will be unusually
large, and if this venture pays out Mr..
Hedge has another very interesting as
we'll as a very beautiful concert ar,
ranged for one of the Sunday afternoon
concerts early in the new year.. Re-
member the concerts begin on time
so please be there a few m'utes before
the hour.

The election returns last week we're
full of thrills and chills, and alternat-
ed enough to give the interested ones
on both sides all the citation and dejec-
ton the human heart is capable Of feel
ing. At times the returns were slow,
and then something would happen to
bring joy to the detected and detection
to the men who wore the smiles. A
moment later perhaps the thing would
be reversed and the nervous system
would experience a reaction as the
hopes Of n side went up and that Of
the other went down. And thus it pro-
crossed hour after hour and day after
day until the final result was definitely
determined. 1t was no doubt the most
interesting suspense the American peo-
pie have experienced since the Tilden
and Hayes election in 1876.

There is some criticism of the rural
credits law passed by the last con
gress. Like many good laws in the in
terest of the common man il is oppos-
ed by big interests and those who do
not understand it, but the fact that
hundreds of thousands of farmers are
already applying for loans would in
dictate the farmers believe it is a good
thing. This is the real test, not the
funny paragraphs of newspapers OPP
posing it for political reasons. The
law should be given a thorough trial,
and If it is not perfect the next con
gress can remedy the defects.

A OF MRS. CHURCH

Mrs. N. H. Church passed away at
her home in this city Tuesday night Of
last week at about one o'clock. Appar-
emily she had been in good health up
to the evening hour, but was taken
suddenly i'll and grew rapidly worse
until death relieved her.
Deceased leaves a husband and sew
eral children to mourn her sudden and
untimely death.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day afternoon at the M. E. church and
were conducted by Rev. I. M. Hargett,
pastor Of the church.

The express companies are making
more money today than ever before,
and they are doing it with lower rates,
giving a better service and treating
the public with greater courtesy. When
the parcel post law was passed, putting
the government postal department into
competition with the express COM
panies, 1t was predicted that these
companies would be ruined and driven
from the field Of common carriers. No
such thing has happened. According
to the report of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission just made public
the net operating revenues of the nine
express companies doing business in
the United States were $~12.143,440 for
1916 as against $3.s57.414 the year pre-
vious. Here Is a remarkable gain.
And Il can all be attributed to lower
rates and a better service. The gen.
eral public Is quick to take advantage
OF fair treatment, and holds no grudge
against "big business when big bust
ness will meet the public with the
glad hand rather than the clinched
flst.

five hundred ballots back TO South Da-
kota so as TO arrive there and be count
ed before the polls closed on election
day evening. Mails that came into San
Benito late Friday evening brought
most of the delinquent ballots, but
some voters were disappointed. Some.
body had slipped a cog and several
irrate citizens cussed out their county
auditors for failing to promptly re-
spond 10 their applications for ballots.
Just a few arrived here too late.

and everyone honOrs them for it.
Five separate ballots were marked
by each voter. The envelopes, con-

the name and address Of the voters,

cents postage required for first-class
mail and special delivery and mailed

OF the companies which are on out

will be seldom seen and which will live
in the memories of the spectators as a
landmark in the acres of the past.
