SOUTH DAkOTAN HoNoRED

DR.. Harry M. Gage, for many years
president of Huron college. received
recognition for his public educational
service to the state last Saturday
when he was made permanent secre-
tary of the North Central association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools
at its annual session at Chicago. In
addition he was made a member of
the executive committee, the controll.
ing body, which consists of five mem
bers. DR.. Gage was also asked TO
continue for another three years on
the commission for higher education.
The North Central association ranks
with the Carnegie Foundation, the gen
eral education board and the Amerl-
can Association of Colleges as n of
the four standardizing agencies of the
United States for colleges, and does
more to direct and mold the policies
of the American college than any 9th
er organization.

A GOOD RECOMMEND

The Parkston Advance, published in
the city where A. F. Grimm, the rANs
wner of the Hub Department o. {,
formerly lived, has the fGUn' kind
words to say about peN' They are
mistaken in his clio s out his Lake
Preston store as yet, but it is his
intention so to do and concentrate all
his energy on his B%rookings store:
"Parkston friends received word the
first of the week that Mr.. A. F. Grimm
had disposed of his mercantile inter
ests at Lake Preston and had pur-
chased a store at Brookings. Mr..
Grimm was for years engaged in bust
ness in this city, and no nan did more
than he toward the upbuilding of
Parkston and this section of Hutchin-
son county. A better citizen, more en-
ergetic business man, or truer friend
than Gus Grimm W lived, and to-
gether with his many friends in this
city we extend to him our best wishes
for success in his new home"

METHoDIsTs OVER THE TOP

The Methodist church Of Brookings
has accomplished a wonderful record
in the grand Centenary drive for funds
for the Methodist Episcopal church OF
the United States. The quota as
signed to the local church was the
sum of s27, 200, and up to yesterday af.
ter a careful canvass of sthe congre-
cation by the Rev. I. M. Hargett and
those assisting him the splendid sum
of $45,5 500 has been pledged for this
great work. This Is over seventy per
cent more than the amount asked for
from this church and the end is not
yet as there are other members of the
church and congregation to be solicit
ed before the final report is made.
The Rev. Mr.. Hargett and all of his
members are to be congratulated on
this magnificent response to the call
of humanity.

who have stayed at home and backed
the boys up with the home work.
Treat EN- Rough" is the motto of
the Tank Corps, and the motto of the
city and the club will be to treat all
the visitors to the city in such a friend
ly and sociable manner as will make
them appreciate the difference be-
tween a friend and a foe. The tank
will be on it's good behavior and will
recognize that it is among friends.
Exhibitions of what it would do if we
were all enemies will convince the Wis
itors that these tanks are wonderful
and weird engines of war. Brookings
invites all the county to help make
this big meeting one of pleasure, and
specially invites the returned soldiers
to be the guests Of the city and Com
mercial Club.

sailors of South Dakota who served
in the war of the United States against

TO ADVISE SCHOOL BOARD

Under the direction of a general
committee appointed at a meeting
which was attended by a large num-
Der of citizens, of which general COM
mittee DR.. A. w. Hyde is chairman,
a large number of petitions are be-
the voters, both male and female, ask
ing the Board of Education to pur.
chase the three lots east of the old
Baptist church, now occupied by the
Baptist parsonage and the Alton res
idence, as a site for the new high
school building. A committee of five
has charge Of these petitions and they
are being rapidly circulated. NJ. E.
Culhane is chairman of this commit
tee and is ably assisted by E. L. Spur
ling, Mrs. A. A. Harris, Mrs. G.. w.
Roskie and Mrs. Howard LOOMS. AS
far as the canvass had progressed over
six hundred have signed these petit
lions and Mr.. Culhane states that
there is every indication hat before
the canvass is over that at least sew
enty-fve per cent of the voters of the
city will have signed these petitions.
Over n thousand, men and women,
voted on the high school bond Ques-
ton and that would 0 seem, how
ever, to be a fair estimate of all the
voters in the city. The committee is,
however, very confident that they will
obtain sufficient numbers to show that
this purchase Of more real estate
meets with the approval of a large
majority of the franchised voters.

Some Interesting Descriptions OF The

For Voyage Home

Mrs. Mary Bucholz has received the
following letters from Rudolph, now
in this country:
March 7, 1919.-Dear Folks: It's
been quite a while since | wrote last
but we expected to be gone before
this S l kept putting it off till we
reached the states. We are in the
embarkation camp at Bordeaux and
expect to leave most any day now
We were in the entrance camp since
Feb. 25th. March 3rd, we came over
to this camp and went through the
De Cooteizer, a mill" as they call
it. One sure feels like he'd been
through the mill" when he comes out
March LIST, General Pershing re-
viewed the troops in the two camps
and made the presentation Of medals,
We have made several trips down to
the docks to play while the fellows
get on the ships. On one occasion a
hospital ship was loaded with hospital
evacuants. There were nearly two
hundred stretcher cases. Yesterday
morning part of our regiment EN-.
barked, that is the men from certain
camps as Funston, Dodge and Dix.
It's rather disappointing to see the
fellows go up the gang plank and then
have to come back to camp. But our
turn will come some time.
While at the docks yesterday I saw
young Mitchell, a son Of Jeweler
Mitchell. He is doing electrical work
at the docks. | received your letters
Of January Goth and 31st, as well as
the ~Collegians. They vert real inter.
esting. This is certainly a fine day
and We sure appreciate it as it's been
raining for the last couple of weeks.
We are given a shot in the arm as
"fu" preventative when we went
through the mill" They are doing
everything possible to prevent sick
ness, even mailing the windows open
and :~aIHs the doors off sc We have
lots of fresh air in the barracks.
I think I'll write Adolph a few lines
now. This is probably the last chance
before we hit the states, at least
hope it is. Love to all. Rudolph.

Camp Mills, Long Island, March 81,
1919.-Dear Folks: Received your
letter of Feb. IS. The mail was held
here when we were ready to sail. !
suppose you received the telegram and
card stating hat we had arrived in
New York. You can't imagine how
good it was to get back to the good
old L. S. A. again. We were given a
royal reception by the mayor of New
York and his committee as well as the
R. C. S. Army and "Y." We got out
here to Camp Mills late Monday even
ing. There is a great change In this
camp since July. There are fine bar.
racks now in place of the tents and
mud. We are treated fine here now
good grub and a pass to the city every
other day, if we want it. l went in
yesterday and had a real interesting
trip. Went through the aquarium,
Waldorf Astoria hotel where | thought
| might get in touch with Hubert
Mathews but didn't. In the evening
we went to the Hippodrome, there
we're four of us from the band togeth.

and lasted three hours. The name
of it was Everything" and it sure was
everything from a Bring circus, with
elephants. camels and horses, to mu.
steal comedy. Some more of the 4oth
are coming in now, just walking past
the "Y" now. They are sure bring
ing the boys back fast. Monday when
we came there were five ships OF
troops landed, $4,000 in n day in
one port are quite a few
Just a little of the trip: We left
Bordeaux, March 18th, but stayed at
the mouth of the river till the 14th
We had a rough sea from the very
first. Everybody vas pretty sick for
a couple days. Myself, I didn't eat
a bite from Friday morning till Sun
day night. After that l felt fine and
enjoyed the trip in spite of rough
weather. We were much more crowd
ed than going over, $500 in a smaller
ship than 22O0 were in before. We
only had two meals a day and they
were hardly fit to eat, but of course
we could stand most anything in or

how long we will be here at Mills
not over a week l guess and then we
go to Kearney. The 10th is to parade
in Frisco and Los Angeles. The 9th

ELSIE FERGUSON
 AT THE STRAND TODAY

Motion picture enthusiasts of Birming- ham have today only in which to see Elsie Ferguson in 'The Witness for the Defense" which concludes a three day engagement at the Strand tonight
 Miss Ferguson has brought several no- table roles to the screen during the two years she has been before the camera, but none that can compare with Stella Derrick, the young English girl who goes to India and is afterward put on trial for her life for the murder of her drunken husband. The crowded houses that have enjoyed this great picture since it's first showing Monday have been lavish in their praise.
 In addition to the superb acting of Miss Ferguson, she is supported by cast that is almost ail-star in itself. Vernon Steel, who has been leading man for many years for the successful actresse- of the screen, has the role of the young English fiance of Stella S. and he handles the part in an exceptional manner.
 Wyndham Standing is too well known to require any introduction, and his act ing shows that he has inherited the tal- ent of the illustrious stage family whose name he bears.
 The heavy role is in the hands of War ner Gland, who first attracted attention by his work with the charming Irene Castle and of late he has created sev- eral roles that stand out clearly from the general run of such types as he has to portray in The Witness for the De- tense. Other well known players are also in the cast.
