the meeting, took the attitude that the
collegiate game in this city would
detract from the interest in and the
attendance at the high school games
here, and made terms which the syn
dictate considered impossible OF ac,
ceptance. Mr.. Wood had the SUPPORT
of the board of education in his stand
Two offers were then made by these
gentlemen that the High Athletic As

entirely, guaranteeing the expenses
and taking the risk, or that the use
of the grounds be fixed at $50. Mr..
Wood declared both of these proposals
and the matter was dropped by the
seven men interested.
An offer was received from the

NATION is AROUSED

That the whole nation is aroused
over the high cost of living is very
evident from the action of congress
and the government.
The house at the request of Presi,
dent Wilson agreed to defer its plan.
ned fve-week's recess and consider de.
mands of railway employees for in
creased wages.
The nate again discussed increas-
ed living costs. but postponed action
on the Myers resolution, proposing
reduction in currency circulation.
The committee of three appointed
yesterday to consider measures OF re
ducing living expenditures and re,
ported TO the president and cabinel

The national officers oi the Broth
erhood of Railway Conductors O
ferred with President Wilson, regard
ing increased wage and the cost of
living.
The house interstate commerce com
mittee reported favorably q resolution
directing the Federal Trade Commits
sion to investigate the increased
price of shoes.
Resolutions and bills designed to
alleviate conditions of living were in.
troduced in both house of congress.
OF the half dozen important devel-
opments, however. the request Of
President Wilson that the house fore.
go It's recess, at least temporarily. TO
consider wages of railway workers
and to study economic conditions, was
by far the most unexpected. with
which the house complied with the re-
quest of the president was taken as
an indication of the deep impression
made on members of congress by
pleas for relief from all parts of the
country. '

THE CROWS NEST

In view OF the fact that so many
automobile accidents are happening
nowadays il will not come amiss TO
offer a few words of caution again to
owners and drivers of motor vehicles.
Racing is not as common as ii was
some time ago, but the disastrous re-
suits are in evidence all the while. A
recent mix-up with its bill of dam
ares, ought to be a deterrent against
all such reckless forms of amusement
on our country roads. The latter are
not intended for racing demonstra,
tons and when one INDUCES in such
he Ices it at his peril. The next most
hazardous thing is joy-riding with a
reckless driver and an overloaded car
of joyous youths. In many such cases
caution is thrown TO the winds with
almost inevitable fatal results. The
recent fatal accident in a neigborins
county is a striking example. The
young driver who escaped serious in
jury is being held for manslaughta,
and will have cause to regret n joy
riding experience all his days. Alto
gether too common a practice is the
allowing OF children TO drive cars
through our streets on busy days even
III older persons are in the a with
them. They, are not quick Of decision
when an emergency arises and many
serious accidents are likely to happen
in such cases. A recent decision
handed down by the Minnesota So
preme court, IL the same principles
hold in other states, ought to cause
parents to be more careful about al.
lowing children to drive autos about

Of the abuses above mentioned the au'
thorities may have to resort to stcrner
measures in the near future and these

A WE GET BUSY?

A suggestion made in the Register
when the visit of the st. Paul busi'
ness men to Brookings was made Is
being put into effect in another city
the same as we proposed should De
done by the merchants of Bookings
Watertown has planned a trade tour
of the country tributary to that city
and her merchants are to make an
auto tour of the country for the pur'
pose of getting better acquainted WITH
the farmers and others who purchase
goods in the city. There is no doubt
but what the principal reason for any
distrust that may exist In he mlnd
of the farmer for the city merchant
is ~engendered by not being well enough
acquainted with the merchant and his
business ideas and aims. If every
business man could sit down and have
a heart 20 heart talk with each OIL
his customers, then they would o
have a better understanding of the
problems that each has to solve. The
farmer e e the merchant only in the
latters store, they do not meet on
a common level. The farmer would
feel as If the situation was changed
If the merchant would come and see
him at his business location. If they
could both meet on neutral ground and
talk over the things that interest both,
then a better knowledge of each other
would make for better business under
standing when they come to the mat
ter of barter and trade. The ultimate
idea would be a common meeting
place, like a club where both city
and country folk were brought togeth,
err, but until that car be accomplished,
then the better understanding must be
fostered by an interchange OF visits.
This proposed trade tour would be an
entering wedge, would increase the
feeling of annuity between the two and
IL time might bring about an organ
ization which would mean that the
two classes Of business. men would
have a common ground or place where
they could discuss the problems that
mean so much to both Of them. There
is an interdependence between the two
which, cannot be changed, and the only
way for each 70 get the best of a
mutual business relation, is to have
an understanding Of each others prob
lens. The merchants should visit the
farmer in the interest Of a better
understanding and to increase trade
and the farmer should welcome thai
visit as a means OF making his rela
ton with the market where he does
business a closer and better one. Whe
will start this much needed know
each-other-better" tour for mutual &C
Q~uaintance.
