NOTED SPEAKER HERE MONDAY

Miss Luella r. Bender will be in
Brookings next Monday, November /
and will speak at the college audi
forum at 500 o'clock. She will speak
regarding the plans and projects of
the Red Cross, both abroad and in this
country, in connection with the fourth
annual roll call of the Red Cross.
Eighteen months of experience with
the American Red Choss overseas,
both during the war and the period
of reconstruction which followed, have
given Miss Bender an insight into the
situation there which enables her to
speak authoritatively regarding it. In
September, 1918, she was in charge of
a reconstruction station at LavernO,
Italy, where 100 orphaned Italian chill
dren and $50 refugees were cared for
at two schools. From Italy, Miss Ben
der went to Siberia and later to Al
bania. In both countries she came
into close contact with the people, her
work being the distribution Of gar
ments and supplies to the discharged
soldiers and to the civilian population.
She has brought back memories Of
experiences among these people which
enable her to picture wildly condi-
tons as they were then and still are.

THREE TO FOUR DOLLAR WHEAT

The United States wheat crop is
already oversold. There is a world
shortage of visible wheat Of two hun.
dred million bushels as compared with
that Of a yea ago. The United States
wheat crop is one hundred ninety
million bushels under a year ago, and
the combined crop of the United States
and Canada is one hundred twenty
million under that of a year ago.
Those who have studied the situation
closely freely predict three to four
dollar wheat next spring. These facts
have come out in a statement issued
from Washington by the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
The statement goes on to say that
the present low prices in the grain
markets are the result of bear propa.
ganda by traders who sold heavily in
foreign markets several months g
when prices were high and are now
e~ndeavoring to fill these orders at a
low figure. The feeling prevails that
., PAL tiNuldliy oltt VI the ldISb
packing interests, are in an extremely
delicate position, and once the mar
ket turns upward must make a wild
scramble to get enough grain to cover
their foreign contracts.
1--WE do not intend to call an or
ganized strike to withhold grain from
the market to force the price to re-
gain its true level" says J. r. Howard.
president Of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation, but we do feel that
every farmer should know the facts
as to the available supply and prob
able demand: and il on the strength
Of these facts it seems good business
to hold, he should be granted the nee
essary credit to do so. We do not
believe the general consuming public
desires, 70 see the farmer accept the
present ruinous prices offered, par
ticularly when the margins made 20
into the pockets of the Spectator
rather than to the mar who buys the
bread"

AGGIE SCHOOL OPENS NOV. 1

The intelligence test will be put to
practical use in the school of agricul-
ture at State college, when the school
opens November /. Students VIII be
admitted to the school Of agriculture

on fulhllment of academic require
ments OF having completed a definite
amount of graded school work. En-
trance and classification will both be
on the basis Of intelligence. The Otis
and Terman group tests Of mental abil-
ity will both be used. Other tests W II
be used from time to time during the
year for the purpose of diagnosing
troubles and placing students in the
classes where they can make the great
est progress.
Professor Arleigh c. Griffin, head Of
the college department of education

LECTURE COURSE BEST EVER

The entertainment course which the
Y. NJ. c. A. will offer this year will be
the best, beyond a doubt, that has
ever been offered here. From the
standpoint Of price alone the course
is costing over five hundred dollars
more than formerly. The talent is
exceptionally good.
Governor Allen fills but five speak
ing engagements and the Kryls appear
ten times in Lyceum work.
This course as contracted for by the

R.lnatn has. The Bohumir Kryl
Artists will open the course Novem-
Der 10th. To many the Kryls nee no
introduction, having appeared here be-
fore on the lyceum course. Bohumir
Kryl is recognized as n OF the
worlds greatest band leaders, and is
acknowledged as Americas greatest
cornet soloist. Marie and Josephine
Kryl have won a real name for them
selves among the younger musical
artists of America. 1t is doubtful II
there is in America a pianist of the
age Of Miss Marie Kryl who can APP
proach her work. Miss Josephine
Kryl ranks with the very best OF the
American violinists.
The next number, December 9th, is
John B. Rotto, an impersonator, and
one of the most successful entertain
ers of his kind. He gives a program
full of action, despicting characters of
every day life as we'll as great char
acters in the national life of the
United Staes and the Allies.
On December 14th Governor Henry
]. Allen of Kansas, will give a lecture.
Governor Allen has become a national
figure since the coal strike in the win
ter Of 1919 when he took over the
mines, under the protection Of the
National Guard, and mined coal with
citizen volunteers. He is known as
the father of the labor court, the first
one of it's kind, which is now in u C
ceSsful operation.
On Jauary 18th, Maud Darlington

HOBO DAY NEXT WEEK

Next Friday, November 5, is the
big celebration day for State college
widely known throughout this section
of the country as Hobo Day. The an
nual frolic this year is being planned
on a bigger scale than ever before.
Many of the college men already have
a growth of beard that would put
many a "Wearie Willie" to shame.
R&zors were carefully laid away Sun
DAY for their two weeks rest. The
usual severe punishment comes to
those who disobey the injunction
against shaving for two weeks before
Hobo Day. The college barber shop
loses its popularity during this period.
Many committees are at work planning
costumes and other features that are
important to the success of the event.
The usual stunt parade will be held
in the morning and a hobo spread at
noon, in which all visitors, who have
most cordially invited. The biggest
drawing card on the program is of
course the football game in the after
noon. Hamline university of St. Paul
is scheduled to play with State on
this date in a game which may have
an important bearing on the Minnesota
collegiate championship title. Several
thousand roOters from all over eastern
Dakota will be present to witness this
struggle. Three bands, the college
military, the young women's conceri,
and the hobo jazz bands, will assist
in providing the necessary pep.

Sightseeing Tour, Chrysanthemum
Show, Banquet and Halloween
Dancing Party.

With a defeat at baseball last sum-
mer still ranking in their breasts
the Watertown Rotary club members
and their wives are coming to Brook
ings tomorrow at the invitation Of the
BrOokings club to play a return game
of ball, this game, however, is to be
of the indoor variety. Plans have
been made to entertain about fifty
guests from Watertown tomorrow.
The first thing on the schedule Of
entertainment is the indoor baseball
game at the college armory between
the star teams of the two ~organiza-
tons. The game will be holly con-
tested from start to finish. Waterfowl
is filled with determination to even
up the score for the humiliation they
received last summer on their home
field and the Bookings men are
equally determined to guard their
laurels. The game will start at 800
O'clock. After the game the party
will be taken on a sightseeing tour
about the college campus and through
the buildings. The chrysanthemum
show will be n Of the features Of
the sightseeing tour. At six o'clock
a banquet will be served to the clubs
by the domestic science department
of the college at which a short pro-
gram of speeches has been arranged.
Following the banquet the guests will

CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW

Large crowds have turned out each
day this week to visit the c%hrysanthe-
mum show at the college greenhouse
which opened Monday morning. On
Monday evening 445 visitors were
counted between the hours of 7 and 8.
Tuesday saw a still larger number
of visitors slowly making their way
around the paths banked on either
side with a profusion of beautiful
blossoms arranged in designs and de-
orative effects that brought exclama-
tons of admiration and wonder from
all. Eight thousand chryanthemum
plants with approximately sixty thou
sand blossoms in a wide range Of
sizes and colors form the integral part
of the show, but the greatest beauty
of the display is in the artistic ar.
rangement of the blossoms by the
horiculturists. The horticultural de-
partment Of State college has been
at work on this show for several

STATE RUNS UP
DECISIVE SCORE
NORTH DAKOTA AGGiES FORCED
TO TAKE SMALL END OF
27 TO 7 COUNT
VESTS MEN USE STRAIGHT FOOTBALL
State College Showed Real Often
sive Ability With Roberts
AS Big Star.

State college proved its ability to
score last Saturday when the North
Dakota Aggies were defeated p to Z
in the first game played on the Brook
ings field this season. The day was
cold and windy and had its effect
upon the game which could not be
called an especially we'll played game.
State far outclassed the visitors and
had no difficulty in winning by the
use of straight football tactics. Be-
fore the game was over North Dakota
had exhausted their small supply OF
substitutes and were obliged to use
crippled men to complete the game.
Coach Vests men played offensive
football for the first time this season
and fully demonstrated their ability
along this line, which was supposed
by many to be their greatest weak
ness.
At the beginning of the game State
was on the defensive and remained
so until the Non-partisans pushed over
a touchdown which occurred in the
first period. The Yellow and Blue
then came back with a whoop and
scored two t%ouchdowns in the second
period. By straight %plunging through
the line and skirting the ends State
made unchecked progress. All of
North Dakota attempts at offensive
were cut short and several times were
unable even to punt out Of danger.

NEXT CLASH At WATERFOWL SATURDAY
Biggest and Decisive Game Of the
Season Will Be at Sioux Falls
On Armistice Day.

In the first game with a South Da-
kota rival team, Brookings high school
treasured local fans of its great
strength by swapping Aberdeen high
school last Friday afternoon at Aber-
deem with a Al to 0 score 1t was
Aberdeen's first defeat this season.
AT every stage of the game the Brook
ings boys had complete mastery and
feet. The ball was in Aberdeen's pos
session only a few minutes during the
entire game and at no time were they
able to get within striking distance
Of the Brookings goal. Since Aber-
deem defeated Watertown recently, it
is safe to assume that Brookings will
give them a drubbing mex Saturday
when they clash on the Watertown
field. The big battle for the high
school team comes on Armistice day
when they meet the Sioux Falls
huskies at Sioux Falls. This game
will no doubt prove to be the deci-
sive one in determining the state
championship. Sioux Falls defeated
washington Springs last Saturday by
a large score and are now preparing
to meet Sioux City.
The high school gave their team
noisy support last Friday when they
all turned out to witness the game
on Cornell's electric scoreboard at the
Fad. The fine spirit and loyalty

MANCHESTER HERE SATURDAY

Manchester college Of St. Paul, at
present the leaders in the Minnesota
conference, will meet the State col.
lege eleven on the ~latter's field Sat,
urday afternoon, October 80. Mac.
Alester is touted as having the best
team in her history. They have not
been defeated this season and are out
to win the championship of the Da.
kotas and Minnesota. State, however,
hopes to spoil this chance next Sat,
urday. The st. Paul boys are said
to have a fast shift bunch and are
clever at the open style of game.
They beat st. Olaf with passes last
Saturday and they will probably try
to duplicate this performance on State
this week.
State will probably try out some
Of her pass plays against Manchester.
In fact she will probably have to do
so to win if the Macs are as strong
as they are said to be. However, it
is not likely that State will use any

scouts to see. From now until the
end of the season no one will be
allowed around the State practice field
without special permission Of the
coaches.
Lippert, Funk, Thompson and Simon
son, all Of whom were on the side
lires last Saturday are in a suit again
this week and may get in for a half
against the st. Paul aggregation Sat
urday. However, the coaches are
not taking any chances on starting
them until they are ready as they
want their full strength when they
hit the South Dakota university at
Sioux Falls on November 10.

PLAN BIG CHRISTMAS WEEK

One Of the biggest community
projects ever attempted in the North.
west is being planned by the Brook
ings post Of the American Legion to
be known as Christmas Community
Week. The whole thing will center
about the Christmas idea. Churches,
lodges. clubs, societies, etc, are all
combining in the project and helping
the legion make it a great success
The entire city of Brookings and en-
virons VII combine their forces in one
big community Christmas. On Christ
mas afternoon hundreds of children
singing carls and taking part in the
pageants will be at the college armory
The whole of Brookings county will
be represented in this program. On
Christmas eve, the Christmas tree pro-
gram will be held at the armory with
hundreds participating. The legion
has arranged to have the Civil war
veterans take a conspicuous part in
this program having chosen them to
take the Santa Claus role. Among the
other delightful features of the pro-
gram will be an old fashioned camp
fire presented by the G. A. r.. the
Sons of Veterans, and the Women's
Relief Corps. For a downtown fea-
ture, a great illuminated Christmas
tree will be placed at the intersection
of Main and Williams streets.

ship of Prof. c. Christensen furnished
music each evening at the show this

feature. The combination of flowers,
music and a soft Lighting effect OBJ
tanned by the use of Japanese lanterns
make the evenings a very desirable
time to visit the show. The show will

RETURNS r AFRICA

Rev. William Trygstad, former
Brooklngs county boy, returned last
Saturday evening from Madagascar
where he has been a missionary for
the last fifteen years as a representa-.
tive OF the Lutheran church of Amer.
lea. He landed in the United States
a few weeks ago with his three cihl-
dren and went to Mortified, Mimi,
where he visited a short time before
coming to Brookings. He will make
his home this winter at Mortified
with his brother-in-law. Rev. Tryg-
stad is a son Of the late Martin
Trygstad of Medary township, the
first white settler in Brookings county.
The last trip which he made home
was on a short furlough in 1915. Dur
ing this time he has lost his father
four children, and recently when his.
own health and wif1's health be
came impaired h, as ordered home
by the mission board. His wife be.
came very i'll on the return journey
and was taken to a hospital at Dur
ban, South Africa, where she died and
was buried.
Rev. Trygstad took part in the mis-
sion meeting at the Lake Campbell
church last Sunday and on Sunday
afternoon the congregation of the
church gave him a reception. He is
now visiting with relatives in Medary
township. II is hard for the community
to express sympathy great enough for
this mar for the cross Of sorrow he
has borne.
