DOANE ROBINSON ON WAR

one of the most concise and pat
statements of the war work of the
y. NJ. c. A. yet received by II. l.. Hop
kins. state campaign chairman. comes
from the pen of Doane Robinson. state
historian at Pierre. Mr.. Robinson
classes the Y. NJ. c. a. war campaign
citizen activities connected with the
war, the other two being the Liberty
Loan and the Red Cross. He says:
The Liberty Loans supply the
sinews; Without them nothing could
be done at all: The Red Cross anchor
ates the distress: The y. NJ. c. A.
keeps the men fit: 1t preserves the
morale without which the men will not
fight.
1T is the link that binds the soldier
boy to his home: 1t is the father and
mother to millions OF men: 1t keeps
in him a clean body and a clean mind
1t offers him rational, healthy recre-
alton: 1t affords him opportunity for
reading and study; 1t ministers to his
spiritual need.
Its canteen supplies a multitude of
small COMFORTS; Its hut is the one
bright spot in the sordid camp: It
goes with him to the very battle line;
1t follows him into the military prison
pens and makes life endurable there;
If he falls by the way or succumbs
to evil influence the Y. Nj. c. A. hunts
him ont and lifts him back into self
respect 1t is al! for the good.
"President Wilson commends ii by
official order: General Pershing de
clares it is Indispensable to the army;
The Y. NJ. G.. A. Is calling urgently
for thirty five million dollars; This
sum viii maintain its work on all
fronts for a year: South Dakota must
get under $l2,,000 of this amount:
are coming Father Woodrow with
the ducats in our fists"

anemones, and a very large assort-
mont Of pompons in various colors.

OUR BOND QUOTA
RAISED IN FULL
NATION OVERSUBSCRlBES SEC
OND LIBERTY LOAN NEARLY
DOUBLE ASKED FOR
TWO BROOMNGS BANKS HELP COUNTY
Committee In Charge Of Campaign
Worked Early And Late To Bring
About Big Success

The nation has done just what was
expected of it. The total subscrip-
tons for the second Liberty Loan
will total over five billion. And that
is more than was asked for as a max
imum. The German nation can take
notice that the whole country is back
of the boys in khaki who are now
pounding them with shot and shell.
If any better indication of what we
mean by going into this war is need
ed, it can only be given at the point
of the bayonet.
The county has done her full share,
but without the help of the First Ma
tional and the Bank of Brookings at
the last moment we would have fallen
down. At a late hour Saturday night
it was discovered that with the re-
ports that were in, that we were fifty
thousand shy. These two banks,
through Mr.. Cobel and Mr.. Flittie, at
once offered to take the amount need
ed 10 make it up to the allotment. AZ
ter other banks in White, Volga and
Elkton and several citizens had been
called by phone this amount for the
banks to take was reduced to thirty
six thousand. With their original
subscriptions these two banks have
subscribed for s~ixty-cight thousand
dollars worth of bonds each.
Credit should be given to the Bank
of %Brookings and the First National
for the way in which their officers
acted at a critical time, and we should
also remember that at the same time
these two banks were carrying two
hundred and seventy-fiVe thousand
dollars worth of the INTERN certif-
Gates OF indebtedness issued by the
government.
There is no question about the 10y
atty of u citizens, in fact they have
proven it at every turn since the war
started. But it does seem as if they
had not beer fully advised of the need
of putting their shoulders to the wheel
in making this loan roll over the top
with a rush and a crush. We are not
the wrong kind of citizens, but just
have not really got started out here
in some parts of the west.
These extra amounts taken by tho
banks can be bought by u people
and we believe that when they know
of the need for every n to help in
this matter, that they will step to the
front and buy bonds of the banks.

LECTURE COURSE BEGINS

The first number of the Y. NJ. c. A.
lecture course is to be given Friday,
Nov. 2nd, and will take the form of
a chamber-muSic concert by the XOril-
ner Quartette, who are of internatiun-
al renown. They are famed especial
ly for their fine ensemble and scholar
ly mu~sicianship, and are classed by
many critics, as one of the four best
quartetts in existance.
America, by birth as well as citizen
ship, has the honor Of being able TO
claim the Zoellner Quartette as her
own. This body is one of her very
few chamber-music organizations If
note, and it rebounds greatly to the
credit of our Y. NJ. c.. A. that it has
been able to secure the service Of
musicians of such renown.
With the Zoellners, appears also a
noted contralto, Edna Swanson Yer
Haar, who, heretofore, has been 4
stranger to the public of Brookines.
She comes heralded by fine press no
tees from newspapers of many cities.
1t is expected by music-lovers here
that her advent in Brookings viii
prove a real treat. The personnel 81
the orchestra is as follows:
First violin, Antonette ZOcllnart

STATE COLLEGE
AGAIN A WINNER
COLLEGE BOYS GO TO, GRAND
FORKS AND TRIM UNIVERSITY
OF NORTH DAKOTA
SCORE IS TO 6 MIGHT Be INCREASED
State College Has Never Been Beaten
BY The Northern University
Seldom Scored On

The following account of the game
last Saturday is taken from the In
dLstrial Collegian:
South Dakota State defeated it's old
rival. North Dakota, in a hard-fought
battle at Grand Forks last Saturday.
North Dakota was holding a big home
forced the Yellow and Blue to bow in
defeat and our team was there to win
in spite of a very noticeable lack of
spirit and confidence in those who
should have backed the team to the
limit. State went in with the odds
against them and emerged %victors.
The team as a whole showed great
improvement in every department of
the game, especially in tackling and
interference.
state won the toss and chose to de-
iend the north goal, which gave her
the advantage of the wind. From the
first whistle it was seer which team
had the most punch and go. Although
considerably out-weighed, both in the
backGeld and line, States machine
plowed its way down the field by
straight football and then scored when
Metzgcr crossed the line after catch
ing Nipples pass. Kennard kicked
goal. The second touchdown came
the following quarter. Following a
penalty for roughing which placed the
ball within easy striking distance,
Nipple crossed the goal line. Ken
nard missed goal.
At this time States offense began
TO slow up considerably and never
gained momentum enough to score
again. This was due to overconfi-
dence. an increasingly slippery field
and ball, and several injuries due to
North Dakota's tactics. There were
times after the first period Of play
when it was difficult to see the length
of the gridirOn due to the snow driven
by IA northwest gale across the un-
sheltered field.
North Dakota scored in the last
quarter of play on a bad tumble of
an attempted pass by State. During
the entire second half the northern
ers tried trick plays and forward
passes In a frantic endeavor to score
but except for the lucky score from
the tumble they never threatened seri-
ously due to the strong defensive
game State played.
The line, although weakened by the
loss of Nelson and outweighed at
least ten pounds per man, played u
fine game from end to end. North
Dakota's end runs resulted in losses
more often than in gains and al
though they could gain occasionally
through the center of the line they
lacked the punch to gain in the
pinches. The secondary defense back
ed up the line well although it was a
little weak in breaking up passes.
On the o%ffense, State showed that
she had a real scoring machine in the
first half when the bulky opponents
were run over at will. The backfeld
is beginning to work together and
with a little more experience 1t will
rank with the scoring machines of
which State has boosted in years past.

Metallic Brocades Best
For Evening Wear

The same weariness comes in the Use Of
this metallic brocade in combination with
sturdier fabrics for coat suits and street
frocks, but there is no feeling against it when
it is splashed into view through the medium
of evening apparel. 1t seems to belong there
BY the way, on one of the newest of these
black velvet and silver brocade evening wraps
there is a trench mufiier of fur that wraps well
around the neck and hangs in two long ends
at the back. The wrap itself presents the ap-
pearance of an antique Chinese garment from
the back, especially when the wearer lifts her
hands. 1t was really one of the most success
fu garments worn at the Metropolitan Opera
House.
There is wool in jersey cloth. and therefore
il comes under the conservation decree and
only AZ yards at the maximum can be used
for a gown. Unless woman is very stout
and tall she need not cayil at this measure
ment, for it can easily he turned into a gown
New-York tribune., 1917-12-30
Demand Coming for Simple
And Durable Clothes

1t is already perceptible, wherever masses Of
women have foregathered, that costly sim
plicity is the substitute for costly ornamental
ton. Soon will come the other upheayal in
dress when women who buy inexpensive
clothes will demand that the fabric endure.
II was all very WELL during a period of enor-
nous productivity on the part Of the mills. TO
throw away SIS on every new frock that
suited the fancy and TO discard it when the
particular fashion in which it was made be-
gan to weue; but to-day we are girded for war
and the output of these mills is not intended
to curry favor with women.
The appeal Of the government for the use
Of only y yards Of wool in any costume has
been met with response that sounds like a
cheer from the various associations that are
banded together to provide apparel for women;
but our anXieties are not especially involved
on this question for the next six months. We
have sufficient warm clothing TO carry Us
through the cold winter, and we do not expec,
to need wool in our garments until next No
vember Therefore, as far As the women are
concerned. the mills can do as they like for the
year Of 1913 with their output Of worsted fab.
rics. but women are awakened to the fact that
the mills have no time. no man powe- and no
surplus TO turn out millions Of yards Of shoddy
fabrics which find pleasure for a moment in a
voman's eyes.

Preaching a New Gospel
OF Clothes

And it is these women, so the students Of
the new statistics affirm, who are demanding
good materials for their clothes II is said by
those who know that women who paid SIS for
suits now pay $50, and those who paid 81 for
hat now pay S10 and this change in money
spending does not rest entirely on the fact tha;
q dollar of 1914 is equal to 81 cents OF 1918.
