II. Do you claim exemption from
draft? Specify grounds.
Because you claim exemption from
draft, it by no means follows that you
are exempt. For the information of
the war department you should make a
claim now if you intend to prosecute il.
Some persons will be exempted on &C.
count of their occupations or Offices,
some on account of the fact that they
have relatives dependent upon them
for support. Your answer touching
these things will be important in sup
porting the claim you now intend to
make in your answer to the present
questions. Be sure, therefore, that the
grounds you now state are in conform
ity with your answers to questions 7
and s. In stating grounds you claim
as exempting you, use n Of the fol
lowing terms: If you claim to be an
executive, legislative or judicial Off
Ger of the state or nation, name your
Office and say whether it is an Office
of the state or nation. If you claim to
be a member of a religious sect whose
creed forbids its members to partici-
pate in war in any form, simply name
the sect. If you are employed in the
transmission of the United States
mails or as an artiicer or workman in
IN armory, arsenal, or navy yard of
the United States, or if you are a
mariner employed in the sea service of
any citizen or merchant within the
United States, 81 state. If you are a
felon or otherwise morally deficient
and desire to claim exemption on that
ground, state your ground briefly. II
you claim physical disability, state
that briefly. If you claim exemption
on any other ground, state your ground
briefly.
The presidents proclamation makes
it the duty of every ci,lzen to lend his
aid in carrying out the provisions of
the registration, so we publish these
answers SO that all may know what is
required and by advice assist those
who will register in being prepared to
give the right replies.

REGISTRATION DAY, JUNE 5TH
C~ONSECRATE THE Day

Next Tuesday will occur a day such
as has never been seen in the history
of the nation. A day when young man.
hood, proudly shouldering the share Of
the national burden tnat is his, steps
forth and places his name on the roll
of the first nationally prepared army
for defence that the u. S. has ever
called out. Not prepared right away
perhaps. but an army that will be pre-
pared when it is called to perform its
duty. Then as the years roll on and
each successive one sees its quota of
the country's young men step forth to
take their place in this prepared ma
tional army, it will be impressed deep
ly on the minds of all that the prepar-
alton for war, now started, is in reality
a preparation for the duties of peace
that will follow in wars wake.
This day is one from which starts a
new era in the development of our ma
tional life. This lesson Of prepared
ness will go farther than to teach us to
prepare for war. 1t will teach us to
be prepared for each and every duty,
each and every opportunity, and yes,
even for each and every pleasure.
Duty cannot be performed efficiently
without preparation. Opportunity can
not be grasped without our being
ready. And even a pleasure cannot be
enjoyed II we do not have the capacity
to appreciate.
So let us consecrate this coming
Tuesday as the day which marks a re-
solve on the part of all,-whether they
register a name on a military roll, or
merely a vow within their hearts,
that one and all we will do the best We
can, both in the present and in pre-
pairing for the future, to sustain the
ideals of ii government, to establish
democracy among nations and follow
the starry banner of freedom wherever
it may lead.

aided class play of the seniors. They
presented Captain Jinks," one of the
comedies written by Clyde Fitch and
once a Broadway success, and it was
given in a very capable way. The
acting was good and the actors were
natural and at ease in their roles.
Given under the direction of Miss Ken
dali, and with her coaching and su
pervision, it was bound to be the
best effort that the seniors could put
forth. And we will break the rule
against individual mention, by saying
that Miss Lenore Browning was the
one bright and particular star of the
whole constellation. Hurrah for the
"Horse Marines"
On Tuesday morning occurred the
formal exercises of graduation. The
auditorium was packed with students,
friends and visitors. Quite a number
of the graduates had already left for
work on the farm or in the training
camps and the full number Of sixty
three was not present to receive their
~sheepskins. The principal address
was delivered by DR.. Samuel Avery,
chancellor of the University of Ne
braska, who dwelt particularly on the
needs of the hour ana the duty of all
citizens. We cannot stop the war by
criticising it, the president or on
gress; we are in it and now We are in
it and now we must win it. Devotion
to our country, her ideals and aims
are alone the way to bring about
peace. And after the wal no spirit of
revenge, but a spirit that will make
us the best friend that Germany will
have in the council of nations. The
address to the class was made by
Regent 7. w. Dwight, of Sioux Falls,
and he urged upon the students
p~romptness, initiative and industry as
guiding lights to the goal of success.
The candidates were presented by
Dean Brown to President Perisho, who
conferred upon each one present his
diploma and degree.
After the morning exercises the
alumni association held their annual
meeting for the election of officers,
with the following result: pres, H.. H.
Hoy, '96; first vice-pres., H. H. Biggar,
10; second v~ice-pres., Earl Series, 10;
third v~ice-pres., Colman Wagner, II;
and secretary-treasurer, H. B. Math-
ews, 80. After the business meeting
the alumni had a basket dinner in the
grove and Prof.-Sec'y. Mathews says
it was better than all the "sit-at-a-
table" banquets he ever attended. My,
he must have been hungry. At this
meeting about $500 was pledged or
paid in toward the big pipe organ, and
there is now about $500 in the treas.
ury. The full amount that will be re-
quired is 49, 90 and this is to be
raised so that the new organ will be
in place for the commencement OF
next year.

folks are folks the world over" and
will eventually meet on a common
plane.
On Monday afternoon the pageant
was given on the campus that had
been intended for Saturday. 1t was a
living picture allegory of the life of
the state from its earnest days to the
present, winding up with a prophetic
picture of its future. The author,
Miss Young, of the college faculty, de-
signed a series of pictures which very
truthfully told of the growth of the
Dakota land from the days of the
Indian. The idea conveyed by each
picture was plainly shown, and in
fact we really believe that when the
horse drawing the prairie schooner
baked, the matter of realism was car
ried to a point of intensity not con-
templated by the author. The skill of
the dancers showed very plainly the
careful training of Miss Nellie Ken
dali, and in fact these symbolic dances
added very greatly to Interpretation of
the allegory. Miss Kendall also ap-
peared in a solo dance full of poetry
of motion and delicacy of portrayal.
We really consider that Miss Kendall's
dancing numbers, both of herself and
her pupils, added very materially to
the success Of the pageant designed
by Miss Young.
In the evening came the much her

RETURN RIGHT OF WAY

When the late Brookings & Sioux
Falls railway went into the hands OF
a receiver, that gentleman tried to sell
the right of way that had been decided
to the railway by farmers in Brook
ings and Moody counties. Some of
the farmers contested this in the
courts and in 1914 began an action for
permanent restraint of such sale.
Judge Sherwood has just handed down
a decision sustaining the contention
of the farmers, has forbade the sale,

and the right of way reverts to the
farmers who originally decided it to
help build the road. Only those who
participated in the suit are affected.
The farmers who took part in the
litigation are H. l. Stearns, Anna B.
Lunden, Geo. Eberlein, G.. N. Kennard,
Jas. Maher, c. D. Douglas, and N.
Zimmerman, in Brookings county, and
F. w. Hampton, j. H. Durland, d. Toll

der G. Purdy were the attorneys for
these farmers.

The two questions of profit and price

the producing and consuming classes
Of the country. In a very recent inter.
view, former Gov. Eberhart, of Mime
sofa, says that on a visit to the ma
tional capital he vas convinced that
these questions are in a fair way of
solution. The lack of harmony be-
tween the different parts of the gov
eminent has delayed this, and Mr..
Eberhardt describes the present situa-
ton as follows:
