A recent report made by the United
States consul in Tasmania, an island
state of Australia, includes the follow
ing: ~
"The general scheme for the repatri-
alton of returned soldiers contemplates
placing them upon the land. At re-
cent conference between the common
wealth and the state authorities, 1t
was decided that each state would
have to find the land, while the COM
mOnWealth government would advance
up to So, 1873 to improve the holding OF
each returned soldier and to procure
the necessary stock and implements.
In this state it was deemed that the
crown lands would prove too difficult
to improve to attract returned SOL
diers, and it was decided to purchase
large estates and divide them up into
small farms and to use the money adj
vanced by the commonwealth govern
ment for buildings, fences and tools.
The money expended by the state in
purchasing the land, as well as the
money advanced by the commonwealth
for improvements, is lien upon the
property and Hmust be repaid in small
annual paymepts. It was also decided
by the commonwealth to advance
money to returned soldiers who may
desire to rent land. Bills will be In
troduced into the various parliaments
at once so that this scheme can be
put into operation throughout Aus
tralia."

The Register is advised by Prof. G..
A. Starring that there Is a possibility
of obtaining the great Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra for both after
noon and evening recitals on April
21st, for the dedication of the big new
Armory building. This building has
the largest floor space under n roof
that there is in the state and it would
be very appropriate to dedicate this
new structure by having in the city
the greatest musical organization of
the west. 1t would be a rather expen-
sive proposition, perhaps, but if there
is sufficient support indicated from the
citizens of Brookings there is nc doubt
but what it could be arranged, greatly
to the honor Of the college and the en-
joyment Of the citizens who purchased
tickets. Those who feel that such IN
event is worthy of support might cali
up DR.. Brown, or Prof. Starring. and
signify their approval of the idea and
their willingness to make it possible
by the purchase Of tickets.

SOLDIERS FEED WELL

Thanksgiving was not a forgotten
day for the three hundred S. A. I. c.
soldiers who remained at State Col
lege over last Thursday. The army
chef, Haakon Hansen, prepared a
-regula. old FASHIONED Thanksgiving
dinner of roast turkey, roast goose,
sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, peas,
cake and ice cream, and the boys paid
him the highest possible compliment
by disposing of it to the last morsel.
The mess hall was decorated and each
table ha da centerpiece of assorted
fruits. 1t was a feast that these young
men will long remember and perhaps
some Of their comrades who went
home will be sorry that they did not
stay and partake Of this generous
spread. The feeding proposition at
State College has been one of the big
gest of the S. A. T. c.,
thanks to Chef Hansen and Steward
Coleman, and with the drills and ex-
ercises, together with the nationally
planned studies, has been a perfect
revelation to many young men who
have come here for this course. In
fact the disbanding Of the S. A. T. C.
is going to be a hardship, rather than
a blessing, for the youth of the whole
country. Some for moi military train
ing will be substituted is the expec-
tation Of the government.
