1t is the patriotic duty of South
Dakota young men and women to
attend college this fall and pre-
pare themselves for service. This
country and this state need leaders
and will need them when the
war is ended. The general con-
census of opinion among Americas
leading men and women is that
now is the time for your young
men and women togo to college.
Even young men who are drafted
in the second or third call will find
it to thei. advantage to spend even
one year in study.
South Dakota State college is
preeminently fitted to give the
young men and women of this
state technical and practical train
ing in Agriculture, Engineering,
Home Economics and allied sub
jeets. Her graduates are success
full even beyond their best hopes,
and are taking enviable places in
these trying times.
The college catalog and bulletins
give detailed information relative
to courses. expenses and advan-
tages of college life. A post card
will bring them-write it now.
College open, September II.
Go to college! Your country
needs you!

HORSE SENSE

1t ''gets our goat, this thing
of Congress appropriating thous-
ends of dollars to improve little
fifty or hundred mile creeks along
the Atlantic seaboard, while the
Missouri yearly is taking valuable
soil into the ocean. A persual of
the Congressional Record indicates
that nearly all the argument made
in favor of these little measly pro-
]ects is to make them navigable,
or that they have some commerce
on them. The Missouri appears
to be totally neglected because it
has not got any commerce. 1t is
passing strange that these bloom
ing statesmen cannot see some
thing else besides commerce. in
their dealings with our rivers.
Firstly. the Old Muddy is no
creek, by long shot. 1t simply
has but little commerce for the
reason that millions of dollars are
spent on pet projects in the
central and eastern states because
of somebody's ''pull," while Con
gress shuts its eyes to the needs
of the Missouri. Of course there
cannot be any navigation, irriga-
ton, or anything else of practical
use while the river is subject to its
''June rise" which almost every
year is overaowing finest of bot
tom lands or carrying away soil
that hard working farmers have
put into crop.
The Misisipi has got storage
reservoirs at it's headquarters for
the purpose of maintaining a
steady flow and even depth of wa
ter, for the benefit of navigation.
Why isn't something of that nature
done on the Missouril But in
. stead of this kind of Improvement.
the government spends thousands
annually ia revetment work. which
only serves to make erosion the
greater elsewhere. If the storage
reservoirs were put in at the head
waters of the Missouri, the States
and local communities could afford
to, and undoubtedly, would, carry
on improvement of the river in
conjunction with the federal pro-
jects..
Mr.. So. Dakota man, what are
you doing about it2
Since writing the foregoing, we
were fortunate to have discoverd
the following, which appeard in the
Minneapolis Tribune of Aug. 5th.
We only hope its statements will
turn out to be true.
''Vermillion SD. Aug.5.-With
loss of property and a deprecia-
tion of land values even greater
than usual ON account of the cut
ting Of the Missouri river into
South Dakota soil this year, own
ers of land along the stream or
close to it are agitating the ques-
tion of finding some means to put
permaaent curb on the stream.
One committee of farmers has re-
commended the construction, part
ly at federal, partly at state and
partly at private expense, of a
series of dams at varying eleva-
tions across the riyer, for the pur-
pose of restricting the velocity OF
the water and thereby protecting
the banks from rapid erosin.
The dams, it is expected, would
cost millions, but the permanent
advantages expected from them

GRAIN FIRES
MYSTERIOUS

MINNEAPOLIS, April 10
Origin of mysterious fires which
destroyed two large grain eleva-
tors here last night, and another
which threatened the bridge
across the Mississippi river at
Fort Smelling, is puzzling authori-
ties today.
Guardsmen on duty at elevators
nearly those burned said they
heard shots in the vicinity of the
buildings. No guards had been
stationed at the burned structures.
The loss was estimated at 3d.
100000.
The first fire was discovered in
the middle of the old wooden
bridge across the river at Fort
Smelling by guardsmen. Troops
at the post, called out by firing of
the cannon, extinguished the fire.
Fire was discovered in the
Marfield Grain Co. elevator at 2
a. m. and in a short time the
structure, with capacity OF
100000 bushels and nearly
filled with wheat, was in ruins.
Shortly before IL p. m. fire
was discovered in elevator ID OF
the Quinn Stephenson Co. Sew
enty thousand bushels of grain
were destroyed.

NEARER

Omitted Press Leased wire.)


RIO DE JANEIRO, April 10
War doomed as more likely than
mere diplomatic rupture between
Brazil and Germany today. The
city seethed with demand for in
slant hostilities.
Foreign Minister Muller was
reported to have resigned, with
other members of the cabinet.
1t was understood passports for
the German minister and the Ger
man consul had already been
signed, ready for instant delivery.
President Braz' decision to take
this step followed a formal report
from the Brazilian minister in
Paris corroborating in full the
story OF the captain of the Brazil
ian steamer Parana as TO the cir
cumstances of the sinking of that
vessel by a German U-boat.
Every detail of the original
story, including the unwarned at
tack, the firing of shells on the
sinking vessel, the deaths of
three Brazilians by the explosion
of the torpedo and the IL hours
of suffering in open boats endured
by the urvivors-many of them
wounded-was said to have been
fully confirmed.
Minister of Marine Alencar to-
day ordered a speeding up in
Brazil's naval preparations, and
great activity in national defense
was otherwise indicated.

I never posed as musical
prophet but once-music being
rather far out of my line-but
am obliged to confess today that
/ am rather proud of my single
forecast.
1t was made slightly more than
three years ago, when / was a
member of the staff of Seattle
paper. There was formed at
that time the Seattle Grand Opera
company, an organization of am
bilious and energetic home mu-
sicians, a few members only of
which, like Nine. Hesse-Sprotte
had sung In professional grand
opera.
Their first production was
Faust" The title role was
placed in the hands of a 20-year-
old Seattle boy named Johnson
who had been singing in DR.. Mat
thews' church choir. He was a
strapping youth with a dazzling
smile.
His Marguerite was little and
lovely and self-possessed. Theo
(such was Johnson's first name)
was awkward in his love-making
and plainly embarrassed. BUT
He sang the tenor parts like a
Caruso. He had a voice of genu-
inc tenor quality, powerful and
flexible and unrestrained as the
wind on mountain peak, and as
rich as a Klondike stream.
