PIRATE HOPE DASHED

PITTSBURG, Sept. 15.-Brookiyn dealt a severe blow to Pittsburg's hope of third place when the Pirates were defeated in both games of dou- ble header. Cooper was hit hard in first innings, three hits, hit batsman and wild pitch scoring three runs, while the fourth run was the result of pass followed by two bagger. The locals rallied in the ninth, scoring three runs. In the second game Ca. dore could not hit, while Hamilton and Wlsner were easy for the Brooklyn batters. Scores:

MODERN PHYSICIAN LIBERAL

DR.. Parsons. a former practicing
physician in Brookings, has been in
Sioux City lately and some of our
readers may be interested in his talk,
a part OF which appears below;
The modern physician nine times
out of ten is liberal in his religious
thinking. asserted DR.. J. G.. Parsons.
OF Sioux Falls, S. D., in an address
delivered last night at a supper given
by the Mems Club of the First Uni
tartan church. His subject was Re
ligion Of the Doctors
while the physician of today may
not be identified with any religious
organization. yet his position religi.
ously and officially is a religious lib
eral, so that he is practically a Uni
tartan DR.. Parsons said. The life
work of a physician emphasizes dong
good here and now. While his sci
entific training voiced by Sir William
Ostler does not enable him to state
positively his belief in Immortality,
he cherishes the hope that it may be
true. In common with the liberal re,
Dgionist the physician feels the I'M
portance of serving mankind as the
highest expression Of his attempt to
worship God.
THE physician has always been
regarded as a hereto. His efforts to
add to human knowledge and to re-
lieye human suffering have Invariably
with opposition from the orthodox
religionists of any period. The physi-
clan has had to fight against the es-
tablished religion to give humanity
the benefit of his discovery. His
training along scientific lines is such
that ever the making of a diagnosis
is a matter of skepticism. 1t makes
the physician naturally a man of lib
eral tendencies. which meet with op
position from orthodox position"

BOGUS HEROES

Stars and Stripes-There have been
a lot Of bogus heroes in America since
the army began dispatching men back
to the states for sickness, wounds,
training, etc. Every soldier who
has gone back has been a hero until
proved otherwise, and the temptation
not to prove themselves otherwise has
been too much for ONE
There Is the case of the Air Service
mechanic, who went back with heart
trouble. His home town newspaper
printed his diary" which r~ecounted
several stirring flights over the Ger
man lines, all imaginary. The near
est he had been to the front was Is
soudun.
There is the case of the sergeant
who lectured on the battle Of Cantigry
for the Fourth Liberty loan (and sold
a lot of bonds, too until he was found
to have spent all his stay in France,
barring travelling time, at lie Mans.

At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. T. J.
at one o'clock, occurred the marriage
of their daughter, Mabel Alosylia, to
Mr.. Ray T.. Barnett, o. Brookings, s.
ID.
Preceding the ceremony, Miss Anna
Donovan of Cherokee sang, 81 Love
You" To the strains of the wedding
march from Lohengrin, the bridal
couple entered unattended, and took
their place before Rev. Wendell of the
Sacred Heart church, who performed
the marriage ceremony. The brides
dress was of white satin and Geor-
gette and she carried a beautiful brid-
al bouquet of pink rosebuds tied with
long streamers. The groom was at
tired in the conventional black. There
were present about thirty-ive guests.
including relatives and a few intimate
friends. After the ceremony a dainty
luncheon was served.
Both young people are graduates of
the Sutherland high school. The bride
also graduated from the Minnesota
State Normal at Mankato and taught
two very successful years, one at Win
nebago, Mimi, and last year in the
city schools of indianapolis, Indiana.
The groom attended Ames college for
a ear but moved to Brookings in.
March, 1917, where he has since en-
gagged in farming and is also a very
successful a%uctioneer.
The qualities that have made for
both such a large circle of friends, are
also qualities that give promise of hap
piness and prosperity in their married
life, and that there may come to them
the highest and best joys life can
bring, is the sincere wish of their large
circle of admiring friends in this COM
munity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnett will spend a
short honeymoon in Chicago, after
which they will be at home on the
groom's farm north of Brookings,
s.. d.
The above interesting item is taken
from the Sutherland. Iowa, Courier.
This young couple arrived in Brook
ings Monday evening from the east
and as they stepped off the sleeper
they were greeted by a noisy party
OF friends who showered them with
rice and followed them to their auto
mobile which had been decorated with
large placards announcing that the
bridegroom cometh, etc. They had a
merry time riding through the muddy
streets. several autos following one
after the other.
The Prairie Home Club gave the
happy couple a reception on Tuesday
evening at which there were some
sixty or seventy of their friends pres
ent to greet them, some going from
Brookings. They were presented with
many nice gifts by the company.

MITCHELL STOCK SALE

What was at least one Of the best
sales ever held by the South Dakota
Live Stock Breeders Association, was
held at Mitchell last week. About 10
head each of cattle and hogs were
sold, together with 80 sheep. Most
of the entries we're good. many of
them showing real class, and with fine
would-be June weather the crowd was
simply almost beyond capacity of the
city and sales pavilion.
We are glad to say that Brookings
county was well represented and did
not have to take a back seat, for while
as a county, she may be a little slow
in the live stock game, everyone must
admit she has some real breeders, and
it is to be hoped hat more will grad
ually get into the game. In Poland
China hogs, Percy Kennard won sec.
ond and II. G.. Skinner third, first 60
ing to c. B. Bates of Letcher. In the
Duroc ring. Jimmy Biggar carried
away second, first going to s. w. Bates
of Letcher. State College landed Sec
ond honors in Hereford bulls, H. A.
Hildebrand of Reliance, taking first.
In competition with the "Doddies"
w. A. Caldwell and son were stepping
right along winning first honors and
a silver cup with their fine yearling,
Premier Bocas, 271109. Kennard was
also represented in the S%horthorn sale
while Messner Bros. had some classy
goods for the Hereford and Poland
China rings.
In the Hereford sales the crest was
reached when Beau Diplomat, first
prize bull, was cried off at $2700. Sew
eral others brought fine prices. $1,000
was paid for the best Shorthorn cow,
while Mr.. Shorthorn had TO be salts
fed with a slightly lesser price.
The real furore of the second af-
ternoon came, when, in a mad ring
side scramble Champion Giantess,
first prize Poland China sow, was bid
off at $1255. Lady Defender, first
prize Duroc. was good for an even
500.
The c~onsignments of sheep were
mostly by H. G. Skinner and State
College and sold from $50 to $50.
Such a show as this is a great school
for anyone interested in good stock,
for here you can see the product of
the skill of many breeders. and it is
interesting indeed to study these re.
suits. That the sire is a very import
ant part of any herd Is recognized as
never before. when you note a point
Of weakness in an animal of some.

note that the same mark is present
in every animal from his herd. So II

THE END OF LIQUOR

Sioux City Journal-In the ratiica-
ton Of the federal prohibition amend
ment the country has witnessed a most
remarkable example of democracy en-
forcing it's legislative will. Never in
the history of the constitution and it's
notifications and changes has there
been such an emphatic and universal
approval of a change in the fundamen-
tai law. When Nebraska ratified the
amendment making the required three
fourths Of the states necessary to give
life to the proposed measure, the pro-
cession of approvals had been almost
universal from the time Mississippi

amendment January s, 1913. or the

sessions in most OF the states are in
the odd numbered years and most OF
the legislative bodies meet In January.

THE BIG SALE AT MITCHELL

Secretary James w. Wilson returned
home the last of the week from
Mitchell. In reference to the big live
stock sale of the breeders associa-
ton held there last week, he said that
there were from 5000 to $500 stock
men present from all parts of the
country and the total sales run up
into big figures.
There were Ill cattle from twenty
one different counties and 100 swine
from twenty-three different counties.
Dawson county, the home of the state
association. had the largest number Of
cattle on exhibition and Sanborn coun-
ty had the largest display of swine.
The breeders association awarded
three rosettes for each breed, a blue,
a red and a white. The secretary
thinks that the contributors of swine
from Brookings county received more
than their share or rosettes. F. n.
Kennard received a second on Poland
China and H. G.. Skinner third. j. B.
Biggar won second on Da.oc jersey.

THE CROW'S-NEST


What is the meaning of the move.
rnsnt called ~Bolshevism, which we are
reading so much about every day ?
Who are the Bolsheviki? Professor
Giddings of Columbia University has
this 10 say on the subject:
"Bolshevism is a criminalist, and
civilization is imperiled by it as GER
tainly as ii was ~imperilled by German
absolutism. There is no time to be
lost in beginning the educational pre-
paredness to meet the danger. Boil
shevism is not democracy: ii is not
socialism: it is not cooperative COM
munism; ii ii o eve philosophical
anarchism. II is a massing and tur-
mol OF the criminal elements OF So
ciety let out of jail and on the loose.
So far as Russia is concerned the
nucleus of the Bolshevik aggregation
Is the prison population that was in
sanely given its freedom in the early
days OF the Russian revolution when
the constitutionalists were in com
mand OF the situation and by wisdom
and frmness might have controlled it.
Most active among the dominating
spirits organizing the criminal crowd
have been men who escaped from Rus.
sian ard Siberian prisons to New York
and who promptly returned to Petro-
grad as soon as amnesty for such as
they was proclaimed. According to
their own boastful statements. a large
majority of them had been condemned
for other than political crimes.
"The creed OF Bolshevism is simple
and admirably suited to the Bolshev-
list purpose. It is all contained In
three articles. "a steal from those
who have stolen, (2) kill those who
resist, (3) punish no n for crime.
The first OF these articles appeals to
impoverished men and women mart
ipg under injustice. They believe they
have been robbed and tyrannized over.
The second article appeals to those
who have risked their lives in revo-
h,tionary movements. With a price
