NEW U

The new catalog OF State College
lists 1924 students for last years at
tendance, or an increase OF more than
1890 over that OF 1906, ten years
agO. Another evidence of States
growth is the fact that the bulletin re-
quires nearly 200 pages to list and
describe courses. faculty, alumni and
students.
If the great increase in the number
of requests for the c~atalogs and bulle-
tins is prophetic, State College will
open her doors next fall to the largest
attendance of new students in her his
tory. South Dakota young men and
women apparently intend to 20 to col
lege in greater numbers than ever be
fore in order to fill the gaps caused by
the youth who are about to go to war.
state College is mailing to such boys
and girls more course bulletins than
in any other year, according to Max
Mahany, secretary to President Peri
sho.
The new engineering bulletin is be
ing mailed OF rapidly TO young men
who are interested in the new oppor-
tunities caused by war conditions. The
school of Agriculture bulletin. which
is now in print. will find a large list Of
applicants awaiting its publication. In
spite of war conditions, and loss Of
many of her students in the army,
state College is exceedingly optimistic
for the coming school year.

FARMER BURNED OUT

Last Thursday afternoon about half
past six the farm house on the farm
that was originally the George Rob-
erts homestead, one and a half miles
north Of old Fountain. was totally de-
stroyed by FIRE and all OF the contents
lost. The place has been rented this
year by Ross Hicks. who with his wife
were the sole occupants Of the house.
1t seems that Mrs. Hicks had built a
FIRE in the cook stove and placed the
supper on the stove to cook. While
waiting for this she went up into the
field where the men were shocking TO
call them to supper. A neighbor was
the nrst to see the smoke and shouted
to them Of the danger. They rushed
back to the dwelling. but before they
could do anything the fire had gained
such Roadway that there was no
chance to get anything out of the place
The IRE was kept from spreading to
any of the other buildings. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hicks have lost all that they had
in the world, in the way of household
furniture and clothing. 1t is reported
that the owners OF the farm had the
house covered by insurance against
fire.
George Duff circulated a subscrip-
ton paper among the farmers in the
neighborhood this way, and among the
business men in town and got over two
hundred dollars to help them make a
new start. Dan Biery did the same
in the direction of White and he re
ceived over a hundred when heard
from. Several showers have been
given them in the neighborhood and
through this manifestation of human
ity, Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks will have a
little something to help them begin
a new home life.

OUR CARNIVAL WEEK

The carnival brought here by the
Commercial Club to raise money for
the mess fund Of Company c has gone.
The shows were clean and descent and
we have heard nothing that was un-
lawful or out Of the way, except ru-
mors, and when we run these down.
we found them only idle talk We can
truthfully say that the Nat Reiss
Shows as they appeared in Bookings
were in every way m%eritorious and
clean and deserved a better patron
age than they received.
The sum Of $25345 was turned over
by the carnival company as the share
for the Company G mess fund under
their contract with the Commercial
Club. This with the sum Of about
$4,000 that ii was reported was raised
at the benefit entertainment given two
weeks ago makes a total OF very nearly
five hundred dollars that should be in
the hands Of the Commercial Club for
the fund. Other sums have been given
direct to Lieut.. M~esSerschmidt, who
is the official custodian OF the fund.
And we have no doubt but what more
money will be turned in by individuals
to help swell the grand total.

STATE OF A

The state Of trade all over the coun.
try reported by Bradstreets this week
shows the usual midsummer influenc-
es. Intense heat and war readjust-
ments. Light summer wear trade
helped, but industry slowed down by
hottest spell in years. Government or
ders dominate many lines. Conscrip-
ton an unsettling element. Labor
scarcity becomes more marked. Car
movement lightest in years, due to
absence of speculation and l~ateness
of crop. Export trade small. Failures
light. Clearings large.

OUR A

The Brookings County Fair AssOcia-
ton have arranged a fine speed pro
gram with six harness races, each for
a purse Of $500. Three good running
farmers and not in training. This last
race is for the PAGERS and trotters,
one-half mile heats, best 2 in 3 for a
purse of 1925. Then there is the slow
race and the novelty race that was
mentioned in this paper two weeks
ago. Taken all together it is the best
race program that this fair has ever
offered and from all that can be learn
ed at this time, it looks good for a big
entry list.
The free acts are good and consist
of a trained pony known as ~"Frankie,'
the horse with the human brain, and
from all reports he is a wonder. His
owner and trainer is a lady, Mabel
Barrymore, of Sioux City, Iowa, and
she will exhibit him every afternoon
and evening. Another free act is the
Arabian. X. Hassan Ben Abdiz, who
is an expert III spinner and later will
appear in some iron jaw feats with
his wife. Last but not least is the
balloon ascension Of the Nelson Balloon
Co. which occurs every afternoon and
evening. Making a double parachute
drop, dropping first from the balloon
and the second drop from the first
parachute. This act is a thriller and
is considered very dangerous but it Will
be pulled off # the performer does not
meet with serious accident 1t alone is
worth the price of admission. The
evening ascensions are made with an
illuminated balloon same being es-
pecially for night exhibitions.
There will be the best of fireworks
every evening and the Fair manage
ment wants to call your attention to
there mammoth tableaux, one for each
evening, that are fine and must be
seer to be appreciated. Do o miss
