NEW HOTEL FOR sRooKlNes

The Register has 1t on good author.
ity that Brookings will have fine
new hotel next year. This will be
good news to the travelling public and
to those who believe in bigger and
better Brookings. During the past
year the lack of hotel accommodations
has been something fierce. private
homes being invaded to accommodate
the people who were compelled to
spend a night or two in the city. We
are told that the new structure will
be credit to the city and will be in
the hands of an experienced hotel
man. 1t will be three stories with
basement and will cover three lots.
150x165 feet or more.
With hotel Of this size Brookings
will be able to reach out for conven-
tions and other state meetings that
we have always had to pass up on ac-
count of limited accommodations. The
attractions Of Brookings would make
it an ideal convention city and there
is no reason why large number Of
them could not be brought here every
year. thus increasing our business and
popularity among the growing cities Of
the state.

HUGE ANNUAL WASTE

Seventeen million tons of straw are
burned every year on American farms
just to get it out of the way, according
to government estimate, waste Of
$28,000,0O0 worth Of nitrogen alone
at pre-war prices These seventeen
million tons of straw, says Dr. A. N.
Hume, State College agronomist, con-
tain 1877 million pounds of nitrogen,
"a millions pounds of phosphorus and
323 million pounds Of potassium. This
straw might well be returned to the
soil to help maintain the fertility.
Further, the South Dakota experiment
station has observed that thin mulch
of straw carefully applied to winter
wheat may be the means of helping
the crop to survive winters that would
otherwise be too severe for it.

keep pace with it. He further stated
that along with the increase in the
use of newsprint and other kinds of

FINE CONCERT

The first number of the Y. M. c. A.
lecture course, the Madrigal Singers
of New York City, last Thursday night
at the College auditorium, was great
success in every way. The singers
are artists of first rank, an dtheir pro-
gram was a splendid one. There was
plenty of variety in the choice of num-
bers, and each singer was heard in
solo selections. Miss Mildred Shaw
was lyric soprano, and her numbers
showed the wide range Of voice as
we'll as unusual size for so high So
prano. Her personality was excellent
and she was much enjoyed. The con-
tralto, Miss Huber, had a full rich
voice. which she used with true ar
tistic ability. The Interpretation of
her solo numbers won her many hon
ors and her singing was one of the
greatest delights of the evening. Mrs.
Peters was the possessor of genuine
tenor voice in quality and size. His
part in the duet with Miss Huber as
we'll as in the quartets showed his
training and interpretative powers.
The baritone, Mr.. Roberts, was read
er as well as singer, and his music
al monologue was especially humorous.
His Interpretation of the prologue Of
Pagliacci by Leoncavallo. was all that
could be desired from an artistic
standpoint. Miss Jean Clarke. yer.

COMMISSION TO ACT

The state railroad commission Is CIV
ing aid to towns and cities that are
short of coal and claims to be acting
promptly and securing relief. Mr..
Murphy, of the commission says that
cities and towns should not hesitate
to present their case to the commits
sion. If town or city finds that it's
coal supply is inadequate and that a
crisis is near, the commission should
be advised. The information given to
the ommission should state how long

WILL be SOME GAME
State College and Varsity Eleven
Clash Next Saturday, Nov. 22.

The State College team hopes TO
write new chapter in the South
Dakota football history by defeating
the university in the States big grid
iron classic at Sioux Falls with two
bands, the cadet band and girls band
as pep makers. If pep and loyalty to
team have anything to do with the
game the Coyotes have a hard scrap
before them.
Upstate dopesters figure that by
comparative scores State seems to
have the edge on the university team.
The varsity was beaten by North Da-
kota University by the score OF 13
to 0, while State trimmed the Flick
ertails, 9 to Z. Officials and football
fans who have seen both of the rival
teams in action this year predict bit
terly fought contest but are unwilling
to say which team they think will
win. A prominent official in the State
said the best wager he could make on
the outcome of the game, would be to
flip a coin for the winner.
The university is counting on the
prowess of Dubel, their passer and
punter, as well as the spectacular lit
tie negro Ashley The Dubel-to-Ash-
ley forward pass combination worked
against Morningside and Iowa. On the
other hand, State College has rather
formidable forward pass combination
that spelled defeat for North Dakota,
a team that the Dubel and Ashley COM
bination could not score on. Ashley
is a thrilling open field runner, but
State has his equal in George Roberts.
He is about Ashley's size and weight
and has succeeded in pulling off good
gains in every game this season Cap
tain Walseth of State is bear-cat at
tackling and catching forward passes
and unless the Coyotes can keep him
well covered he is bound to get away.
The rival lines are about equal as to
weight and speed with the exception
of the ends where South Dakota Uni
versity has the edge in weight and ex-
perience. The game will be thriller
no doubt and those who have the tick
ct sale in charge predict the largest
crowd in Sioux Falls football history
if the weather is at all favorable.

ADDITIONAL RULINGS

A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
Secretary Of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions Of Treasury Decision
No. A. allowing eighteen months from
the date Of discharge for reinstate-
ment upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to be reinstated, are re.
tanned That decision is liberalized
however. by a new provision that men
out of the service are permitted to
reinstate by merely paying the two
months premiums without making a
statement as to health at any time
within three calendar months follow
ing the month Of discharge.
After the three months following the
date of discharge have elapsed, a
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the
expiration Of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, will be re.
Quired together with a written appli-
cation for reinstatement and the ten
der of two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re.
instate. In order to give all former
service men whose insurance has
lapsed or been Cancelled, fair chance
to reinstate their insurance, including
men who have been out of the SER
vice eighteen months or more, and
who are therefore barred from rein

which allows all ex-service men to
reinstate their insurance before De.

applicant is in as good health as at
date Of discharge or at expiration OF
the grace period, whichever is the
later date, and so states in his appli'
cation. OF course is Is necessary

DR.. HANSEN HOME AGAIN

DR.. NJ e. Hansen arrived home Sat
urday evening from an extended horti-
cultural tour. The object was to Sc
cure new plants for use In originating
new fruits and to make study Of type
specimens in the largest herbariums
of the United States and Canada In
terviewed by a Register reporter in
regard to the trip the doctor said:
my first work was wading knee-deep
in snow in the Riding Mountain
region of west central Manitoba. This
was my third tour to Manitoba this
season. Snow came the earliest for
twenty years according to old settlers.
The next place I visited was the Gen.
trail Experiment Station and Geological
Survey Herbarium at Ottawa, Canada.
My next visit was at Gray herbarium
of Harvard University and the Arnold
arboretum at Boston. At Harvard
large successful private cafateria for
the students was seen in full operation.
Here at Concord still lives the old
original vine Of the Concord grape. So
that Concord has been a great center
Of American horticulture as well as
the cradle of American liberty, philoso-
ply and literature. At the Arnold ar
boretum is found the largest collection
Of trees and shrubs in North America,
and one of the greatest in the world.
1t includes vast collections recently
brought from Korea and western
China. Next came the herbarium
of the New York botanical gardens.
The main greehouse cost quarter of
a million dollars. And l was present
! at the opening of new hundred thou
sand dollar greenhouse. The trail
next led to the high mountains of the
lower Appalachians. In northeastern
Tennessee a mountain over 5000 feet
in height was climbed in a drizzling
rain. The homeward tour was via the
herbarium OF the Field Museum of
Natural History at Chicago. They are
about ready to move into new eight
million dollar building.
ION conclusion reached" said the
doctor, was that South Dakota needs
to do vastly more building to house
her rapidly growing schools and agri-
cultural experiment station because all
progress in these lines is founded up
on research

NATION WIDE
FREIGHT EMBARGO
is CONFRONTING RAILROAD AD-
MiNlSTRATioN - MEANS
CURTAiLMENT
CURTA|LMENT Of COAL CONSUMPTION
Absolutely Necessary to Relieve the
Situation and Keep the Trains
In the Running.

That the present problem confront
ing the railroad administration Is the
distribution of coal SO as to avoid coal
shortages and not the placing of
freight embargo was the opinion of
Director Geenral of Railroads Walker
d Hines and the seven regional direc-
tors. who today held second confer
ence in Chicago.
II was decided that the curtailment
Of transportation and industry will be
dependent upon future developments.
Mr. Hines remained in Chicago until
noon for further conferences with the
regional directors to arrange to sup
ply coal where needed.
Upon future developments depends
the matter of curtailment of transpor-
tation and industry" said Mr.. Hines,
"but the public, OF course, will be given
proper notice of any important
changes in policy. 1t Is essential that
coal be used as sparingly as possible
and, therefore, distribution will be
continued in accordance with the au-
thority resting in the railroad admin
istration under the orders OF the fuel
administration previously issued"
II there is drastic curtailment of
trains in the near future, such notice
will be given out by Mr.. Hines in
Washington.
The growing menace of the coal
situation was the subject today Of
further discussion by Walter ID. Hines,
federal director general of railroads,
and seven regional directors.
Possible action talekd about includ-
ed further reduction in passenger
train service and shutting Off coal from
non-essential industries. Mr. Hines In
dicated he would issue statement
after the meeting.
What we will consider is what
means can be employed by elimina
ton of consumption except where 1t
Is Indispensable. to conserve our coal
reserve" said Mr.. Hines.
Meanwhile, reports from virtually
all sources were OF a vanishing supply
of bituminous coal as approximately
425,000 miners remained firm In their
disposition to await announcement Of
an agreement by the apparently dead
locked miners-operators' conference
at Washington. or the great union
fields only West Virginia reported an
appreciable amount Of fuel brought
out, rs per cent of the mines being
operated.

GENERAL NEWS

Following President Wilson's an
nouucement of his opposition to Italy's
claim to the port of Fiumo on the Ad-
riatic Sea, Premier Orlando, head of
the Italian delegation 10 the Peace
Conference, departed on April oath for
Rome to confer with the Italian Parlia-
mcnt. During his absence the other
members of the Italian mission are not
attending the conferences, amounting
virtually TO a withdrawal of Italy
from the Peace Congress. While the
situation is strained, the general i'm
preston is that Italy will back down,
her claim being a purely selfish one
and entirely ignoring the rights of
several smaller nations To preserve
the port of Fiume as their only outlet
TO the sea. Public opinion in the L.
