WILL ENDORSE GENERAL WOOD

A dispatch from republican head
quarters at Mitchell says that the re-
ports received from proposalmen'
conventions held throughout the state
on November 18th show that General
Leonard Wood will receive the in
dorsement of the state proposalmen's S
convention at Pierre on December 2,
for the republican nomination for pres
ident and that Governor Frank o. Low
den of Illinois will be given the dis
senting or minority Endorsement.
Proposalmen known to be for Gen
eral Wood in reports thus far receiv-
ed, will cast some 10000 votes, as
compared to 5000 estimated for Gov
ernor Lowden. 1t is expected this will
be about the proportion in which the
total vote will result. If Senator Hiram
Johnson enters the South Dakota pri.
mary it must be in the independent
column of the republican party ballot
Under the new primary law of the
state, delegates designated as propos.
almen are selected for all county dis
tricts for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the officers of presi
dent, senator, congressman and state
tickets at the state conventions.
Republicans, democrats and non
partisans will hold their conventions
at Pierre, December 2.

COLLEGE NIGHT

Monday evening was College night
in Brookings and the immense crowd
that filled the Pleasant Hour theatre
was very happy one. Many could
not get seats and were forced to take
standing room. Coach and Mrs. West
friends, occupied a reserved section
of the theatre. The program opened
with the showing of Mary Pickford
in "Dady Longlegs," and the picture
was enjoyed by all, characterized, as
it was, by clear sparkling humor and
tender pathos. Following the show
ing of the pictures Fat" Dalthorpe,
president of the Students Associa-
ton, was elected to act as chairman
of the meeting. He Immediately called
upon Attorney W. M. Sheever for a
talk. Mr.. Cheever, in Representing
the city, spoke of the satisfaction
which the town in general had derived
from Saturdays victory and expressed
the hope that many more victories
would follow. After Mr. Cheever's
talk the chairman called upon Pro
fessor E. r. Searles of the College
faculty, who remarked that the vic.
tory was doubly satisfactory because
it marked the accomplishment of a
feat for which the College had been
striving for many years. Following
Professor Searles' talk Miss Grace
Wynn of the voice department of the
College lead the singing. Through the
untiring efforts of Miss Wynn the
singing at the College has been very
materially benefited. Coach West was
then called upon and favored the
audience with some Of the finer de-
tails of the game. Various members
of the team then gave short talks.
The cheering at the conclusion OF
each talk was peppy and indicated
that the boys were thoroughly en-
joyed over the occasion. The music
by the College band was very
well received The meeting was a
great success In every way.

against the Carranza government in

A GOOD STAB, ANYWAY

The main attraction for the Thanks
giving populace of Brookings was the
score board at the Fad theatre, erect
ed to show the results Of the football
game at Omaha, play by play. The
score board was five by eight feet and
was constructed to show the punts,
passes, number of yards gained on
each play as well as showing which
team had possession of the ball. The
ball was represented by a small red
light which was moved around to show
the position of the ball upon the field.
1t failed to materializo, however, On
account Of the representative of the
Western Union, who w2s at the field
taking the plays, becoming afflicted
with "cold feet" and leaving the game.
After the game he Immediately sent
in the results. The score board was
made possible through the united ef-
forts of l.. Cornell, Of the Cornell
Electric Co, and c. NJ. SOULS, of the
Brookings Cafe and these young men
should be commended for their inita-
tive for constructing the board, spar
ing as they did, neither time or ex-
pense. Games in the future, which
may be played away from home, can
be flashed on this score board and
will make it a valuable piece of work.
A seven-reei feature starring Mae
Murray as Elena Evan in THE Scarlet
Shadow" and His Crooked Career"
a comedy was shown in connection
with the score board and was well re-
ceived by the large crowd

SPECIAL ALFALFA SEED REPORT

Estimates made by representative
alfalfa seed growers in South Dakota
this season indicate that the average
yield of seed was about 1A bushels
per acre. Quality good. The one
principal factor that reduced the pro-
duction most of all was the grass
hopper. Earlier in the season the
prospect was very much more prom
/ ising.
Butte, Meade, Pennington, Hughes,
Fall River and Lynn counties are the
only ones that indicate any excess
commercial crop and in these coun-
ties the surplus is only moderate
There is a small amount of seed to
spare in Stanley and Jackson coun.
ties, also some in Tripp and little
in DAWSON We were unable to Sc
cure may reliable reports from either
Jones or Haakon counties.
The inclement weather in October
and the early part of November this
year has much retarded the hulling
OF this crop. Most of the crop seems
to be available now although there
were many reports that the crop would
not be hulled until in December OF
! later.
South Dakota has gained consider.
able prominence as an alfalfa seed
producing state. The seed from the
western part of the state being espe
cially sought by growers because OF
its remarkable hardness and ability
to stand the severe winters.

A WAGE ADVANCE

A wage advance Of ii per cent for
all time workers, maintenance of gov
ernment control over coal prices and
no increase in prices at this time were
the conclusions of Fuel Administrator
Garfield, announced last night to the
operators and miners wage scale
committees.
! Declaring that Secretary Wilson,
acting as the authorized agent of the
cabinet and President Wilson" had
offered an increase of 316 per cent,
John L. Lewis, acting president of the
mine workers. asked IL the govern.
ment intended to "repudiate the acts
Of Secretary Wilson"
DR.. Garfield replied that Mr.. Wilson
made his proposal as mediator, to
facilitate negotiations and that Mr..
Wilson told him yesterday that 1t was
the duty of the fuel administrator to
fix prices and that it was not the func-
tion Of the secretary of labor.
THE cabinet has decided that the
basis ! have suggested Is sound and
right" Mr. Garfield said.
DR.. Garfield declared that the min
ers with the proposed increase of IA
per cent were better off than any 9TH
er class of employees. A permanent
body with purely advisory powers,
consisting of the Secretary of the In
terror as chairman and of an equal
number of representatives OF opera
tors and mine workers, was recon-
mended by DR.. Garfield.
This board would continue to apply
the principles announced by the fuel
administration to unsettled questions,
wages, profits and living conditions.

BE CAREFUL OF MATCHES

In this age Of Drives" no drive
would be more worth while than one
to minimize the use Of matches. This
would also include smoking in garages
and tire repair shops where gasoline
and gasoline products are used to a
large extent. Certainly the automo-
bile repair man who does not smoke
during working hours is eptitled to
considerable more pay than the man
who ID frequently striking matches
in q place where there are 80 many
oil-soaked rags and apt to be enough
gas to cause an explosion.
