REPORTS OF ACTIVITIES At HIGH
SCHOOL ARE VERY EN-.
COURAGlNG
STATE COLLEGE C0ACAFElLsCONHDENT
New Men Who Are Appearing and Old
Men Who Are Returning Give
Promise Of Very Fast Team.

From present indications there are
great promises of a real football team
for the Bookings High school this fall.
There are a few men of last years
team and added to this there is an
abundance Of new material from which
to pick a winning team.
At no previous year have there been
so many candidates for the team as
this year. Every night there have been
almost three full teams for practice
and every man out is determined that
they are going to make the first team.
men work for their places.
Capt. bill" Morton has been play
ing quarter during the practices thus
far. but he is equally good as end
or half. Sundet, an A. e. F. man, is
not only after being the best full-back
in this high school but he is deter
mined to gain more ground than any
other full-back in the state. Ryger,
a new man, is very fast and promises
to make a good half or end. Holver-
son, last years center, has been prac-
ticing in a backfield position and Is
doing good work. Others who are try
ing for back field positions are John
son. from Aberdeen H. S.; Scarlet.
Jerde, Carlisle, Mcknight and Lynch.
The line has just as many men for
each position as the back field. For
ends there are following to pick from:
Lindsay, Mears, Pultz, Lien, and Cald-
well. Among those trying for center
are: Hasle. Martin and Enright. The
tackle and guard positions will be
filled by four picked from the follow
ing men: Allison, Atkinson, Benson,
Blocker, Cheever, Dybdahl, Flittie, Nc.
Clone, Palmer, Powers, Rishoi, Robin
son, Swenson and WEIGH. Anderson,
who played last year is back in school,
and he is in hopes of arranging his
outside work so that he may be able
to play this ysar as it is his last year
in High school.
The High school has a heavy scned
ule of eight games. The first game
is to be played with Marshall High
school at Marshall, November 18th.
Marshall is "doped out" as having one
of the best teams in western Mime
sofa and after that game home fans
will have some criterion by which to
judge the ability of the home team.

BALKAN CLASH FEARED

While 1t appears that d'Annunzio
and Fiume will be chiefly in issue, the
feeling As showing in Paris that a.
.d'Annunzio has indicated that his as
pirations include for more than
Ffume, the Italian situation Is daily
becoming more OF an international
question. In view of the conditions
the view is expressed here that the
agitation might fame into wal any
day II, for instance, a Jugo-Slav should
happen to be killed by Italian troops.
Gabriel d'Annunzion proclaimed from
the municipal palace of Fiume yester-
day that II consider myself in a state
of war with Jugo-Slavia." He also an
nounced that measures had been
adopted to meet any attack from the
enemy. Troops have been sent to
the first line of reserve, ready to
answer any attack. Thus far the
Italian red cross had not appeared on
the scene.
The inf1amed conditions in the Adri-
attic region and the dissolution of the
Italian region and the dissolution Of
the Italian parliament for the holding
of a general election on November 16,
as Rome dispatches announced late
yesterday, is giving the supreme coun-
Gil much concern in view Of the pos
sibflity of all the Balkans becoming
involved in the turmoil. In peace cor
ference circles the approaching Italian
elections are regarded as a struggle
between the war and peace parties. or
rather as between the forces on the
military side and those Of the social
istic and pacific tendencies.

RECORD

Although the American Red Gross
is asking this year $4,000, 900 with
which to complete it's war job at home
and abroad, not one penny for this
purpose will be asked of Red Cross
enthusiasts in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota and Montana, according
to an announcement made today al
Northern Division headquarters, 42s
South Fifth street, Minneapolis.
The reason for this is that the North
ern Division has already sent to ma,
tional headquarters surplus funds
amounting to $1,000, 900, which is ap
proximately one-third more than the
quota set for this division. 1t is pos
sible that local chapters of these -four
northwest states will solicit funds fol-
their W maintenance.
A campaign will be waged to OBJ
tain $4,000 Red Cross magazine sub
scriptions during the Roll Call" be
tween November 2 and II, inclusive
when it is proposed to enroll 100000
Red Cross members in the Northern
Division. There will no longer be
magazine memberships. The magazine
will be sold separately and on its mer
its. Nationally the aim is to procure
q ,000, 900 memberships and 100000
magazine subscriptions.

BROKE PROMISE AT voLoA

Bookings county seems to have
been selected, by your manager of the
lave mctor~truck tour, for a succession
of broken promises. Just why the
county where the prospects for truck
sales are so good should be made the
goat for someone's bad disposition Is
hard to say. Here Is what the Volga
Tribune has to say about the failure
at that city.
ION Wednesday of last week, while
the celebration was going on, an ad.
vance man of the truck train aggrega-
ton was in this city and informed
one of our garage men that the train
would stop here for fifteen minutes
Thursday afternoon while on its way
from Arlington to Brookings, provid-
ing that there was a crowd here, and
requested that the stop be announced
to the people Wednesday evening.
Before the movies Wednesday eve
ming Mr.. Hagemo, chairman of the day.
made formal announcement of the
stop, and Thursday afternoon there
were several hundred people in town
for the occasion, many farmers leav-
ing their work for several hours in
order that they might be here at that
time. But the men in charge Of the
train on Thursday failed to keep their
word and the train passed through this
city without SO much as saying
Hello" We understand that some
have been inclined to criticize Mr..
Hagemo, but he simply did as re
requested and the criticism is unjust
and unwarranted. Friday forenoon
Mr.. Hagemo went to Brookings with
the intention of taking the matter up
with the managers of the train. but
found that they had failed to. live up
to their schedule in that city also and
instead of remaining there until noon
on Friday, had left at seven in the
morning. Just why the managers of
the train failed to follow their adver.
tised schedule is not known, but their
failure has created a general soreness
that does not do the business any good,
to say the lest. The people here are
entitled to an explanation from those
who arranged for the trip"

COLLEGE FOOT BALL PROGRAM

State College Students Association
is going to offer the business men and
citizens of Brookings a season foot
ball ticket for $3.50. This ticket will
admit them to all the foot ball games
held on State College field this fall.
And will mean a total saving Of $1.00
for the four games. The season tick
ct has another advantage in that 1t is
good for four admissions which may
all be used in anyone game except the
game with the North Dakota Univer.
sity here on November 7, or which will
be Hobo Day of Brookings. The fol.
lowing games will be played on the
home grounds at State College: Aber.
deem Normal on Oct. IL. Dakota Yves.
leyan University on Oct 18th; North
Dakota University on Nov. 7th; and
the South Dakota School of Mines on
Nov. 18th.
All four of these colleges are boast,
ing good prospects. They have a mum.
Der of old letter men on their teams,
besides many high school stars. The
war took a great many athletes, some
of them will never return, but many
of them did return larger, older and
more anxious than ever for a college
education. But over there love for
foot ball was kept green by the army
teams and consequently the fans will
get the best brand Of foot ball this fall
they ever had the pleasure Of seeing.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
COMMITTEE BUSY
COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY CLUB
WILL MEET WITH SCHOOL
BOARD SOON
CITY SCHOOLS ARE WELL ORGANIZED
Record Of Attendance and Enrolment
Shows Up Well for the Beginning
Of the New School Year.

The committee appointed by the di-
rectors of the Commercial Club to
confer with the Board of Education
regarding a suitable place as a sub
stitute for the old Baptist church IS
a school house, have organized and
consist of E. H. Beatty, chairman;
c. o. Quail and r. r. Kerr. MI. Beatty
has notified the school board Of their
readiness to meet with them and it
would appear that in view of the I'm
p%ortance of settling this matter at
once, that the two will get together
by the first of next week and canvass
the situation. A very thorough in
vestigation of the feelings of the men,
bers Of the Commercial Club regard
ing the entire surrender of the room
in the City Hall, now occupied by the
club. discloses the fact that it does
meet with the approval of any con
siderable number. In fact the large
majority is against the proposition Of
practically disbanding the club. The
members of the committee appointed
by the club, all seem very anxious to
do all they a to help the board de-
wise some plan for the betterment Of
the school situation and the early
meeting of these two bodies may bring
about an early solution. Superintend-
ent Johnson has a plan to use the old
church building for a gymnasium and
meeting place for the students tina, is
very feasible and woulu be a great
help in handling the social situation
as it always exists in large schools.
Until the new buildings are erected it
seems to the school executive that
something must be done to provide
temporary quarters for the students
to use outside of the school hours.
With the securing of another place
for school purposes, this idea could
be carried out for the time, by the
use Of the old building.

WOULD N MAYOR

Monday a mob in Omaha started to
take a negro away from the officers,
who was accused of an assault on a
white girl. The mayor Of Omaha, Ed.
p. Smith, tried to quiet the mob and
his talk only infamed them against
him. The men took him to a nearby
traffic pole and threw a rope around
his neck and jerked him up and tied
the rope. The police, who had made
repeated charges on the crowd, broke
through and rescued the city's chief
executive. He was taken to a hospi.
tai and while he suffered several
bruises and wounds, there is good
hopes of his recovery. After this the
mob went to the court house and jail,
a beautiful new stone building, and
partly wrecked that by setting fire to
the wood work. The smoke almost
overpowered the sheriff and officers
and they had to take all prisoners to
the roof to escape the flames. While
here the other prisoners took the
wanted negro and turned him owe
to the mob. He was taken out, shot.
hung and drawn through the streets
at the end of a rope until his body
was mutilated beyond recognition.
Military forces. were sent by Secretary
of War Baker from Fort Omaha, Camp
Dodge and Fort Crook. General Leon.
ard Wood was ordered to take com
mand of the situation and the last re-
port a y that quiet seems to have
been restored. In addition to the
negro being killed, two white persons
were victims of the riot from stray
bullets. Governor McKelvie of Nebras.
ka has issued the following statement
regarding the situation:
1T has been a matter of every day
occurrence that those who have the
most to do with the moulding of pub
lie opinion have constantly engaged
in petty chickering's and a criticism Of
the local officials which could not re-
suit in anything but an utter disre-
spect of the law. l deem 1t OF utmost
importance that the good people OF
Omaha should at once organize their
minds to discourage the activities Of
those who are constantly attempting
to bring reproach upon public officials
and join in a common support of those
who have been duly elected to respon-
sible public positions"

SOME SUCCESSFUL SALES

During last week Col. s. ]. Rudolph
cried auction sales on Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
the total of which amounted to $685.

of five days and indicates that sales
handled by Colonel Rudolph are going
off very satisfactorily. During these
five sales he topped the record twice
in the price paid for a grade mich
COW. One day he sold a grade for
$151.G0, that being the highest price
Of which any record has been made
for a grade COW Then to show just
what he could do, the colonel came
back the next day and sold another
cow for $162.50. These figures certain,
ly prove a fine endorsement for the
colonel as an auctioneer. and are very
gratifying to his many friends.

THE TEXAS CATASTROPHE

Philip Schlarb of this city has re.
ceived letters from his sister, Mrs.
James P. Olson, a former resident OF
Brookings, detailing the awfulness OF
the late big tidal wave that swept the
gulf coast around Corpus Christi, where
they now reside. The Olson family
are all safe, as they lived on the bluffs,
high above the devastating waves.
The wind however partly wrecked their
windows and barn and damaged their
auto. Everything they had in the store
building 'Swn town, where Mr.. Olson
ness, was lost. They were fortunate
to have all their important papers and
some money in their safe, which was
found intact after the water went
down. Some of their rugs and furni-
ture were damaged by water where
the rain beat in through the broken
windows, but as they took care of
these things as soon as the storm was
they will not lose them. Every
thing is being done to make the des-
tltute comfortable, but the story is
very sad as many of their friends
were lost in the storm. Families are
broken up and in many cases only
one or two survive. Ray Olson has
devoted his time to helping in the re,
pair work and is looking after autos,
the government and state are furnish
ing all kinds of help and they feel
that all is being done that is possible
to relive the distress. The many
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Olson and their
children will be glad to learn that
they have escaped with their lir
even though they have suffereSseH :.
material loss in the wiping HS heir
