SCHOOL FUND is LARGE

over twenty-seven million dollars
was in the permanent school fund OF
this state at the close Of the last fiscal
year. The summary shown by the
trial balance of the state land de-
partment June 80 showed the total
to be $27,434 ,9S3S3. OF this $685.
1874 is in the shape of outstanding
payments on land sales. The largest
amount of this is in Marshall county
with $1,984, 1881, and Sphinx is next
with $1,275,O48.12. Outside OF the
amounts due on land sales, invest
ments in bonds in the different coun.
ties of the state amount to 1891,
194.44, which two sums make UP the
total amount Of fund. ~
The interest and income fund a,
the close of the year amounted tC
1,403, 1868. This will be distributed
to the different counties for theil
school funds in December. but before
that time the collections for August
81 and November 80 will be made
and the fund Is likely to go over a
million and half dollars before il
is sent out to the counties, giving
them a good sized boost in the matter
of their school expenditures for the
next year These figures do not in
clude the income fund apportioned to
the different state institutions.

PHARMACISTS HERE

The weather man was unkind to the
South Dakota Pharmaceutical associa-
tion and materially decreased the at
tendance the first day of their thirty
fourth annual convention which open
ed at State college Wednesday morn
ing. Since very large number had
planned to come by automobile the
rain Tuesday night and Wednesday
prevented their attendance on the ops
ening day. The fine weather today is
expected to bring in hundreds Of be-
lated delegates. 1t was estimated that
$50 delegates attended the business
sessions which were held yesterday
morning and afternoon. Prof. and
Mrs. f. r. Series head the entertain
ment committee for the visitors and
have been successful in making the
visitors feel at home the minute they
step off the train. The druggists are
generally conceded to be one of the
liveliest groups in the state when they
gather together for convention and
this convention is no exception. Last
evening the band gave a concert in
the college armory. The program to-
day includes lecture by Prof. w. W..
Stockberger of Washington, d. c., an
eminent authority on medical plants,
and an address by :. G. Henry OF Chi
cago, on the subject of narcotic and
prohibition laws. Tonight there will
be an entertainment and big ball at
the armory. The general sports pro-
gram begins tomorrow morning, con-
sistng of guessing contests, shooting
contests, hoop rolling contests, foot
races, egg races, etc. Prizes in the
form OF merchandise will be awarded
to the winners in all events.

ROUND UP DRAWS
LARGE ATTENDANCE
FIRST REAL REPRODUCTION OF
WILD WEST PROVES GREAT
ATTRACTION
LOCAL MAN RIDES BUCNNG STEERS
Officials Of County Fair Association
Work Hard to Make Affair
Success.

The largest crowds of the year were
attracted to Brookings last Friday and
Saturday to see the first real round up
and wild west show that has ever been
produced in this section of the coun-
try Genuine dyed in-the-wool cowboys
gave the large crowds a clear idea
of the various sports and stunts that
make up the biggest event of the year
Of the ranching country of the wild
west A large number Of wild buck
ing bronchos and range steers were
shipped into the city from Montana
for the event. None of these animals
had taken part in a round up before
and demonstrated their intractibility
fully when the boys tried to ride them.
Some were so ornery that they had
to be roped and dragged into the cor
raj. The bucking exhibitions were par
ticularly good, both steers and horses
showing lots of spirit which made
things interesting for the men on their
backs. Arthur Hartwick, Brookings
boy, gave the spectators surprise
when he successfully rode some of the
widest steers, a feat which perhaps
no other person in the audience would
have cared to try.
The round up was produced under
the auspices Of the County Fair asso-
citation under the direction Of T. G.
Connolly and Harry Williams, who
spent a great amount Of time and eff
fort to make the attraction a success
in every way. It was desired to make
it a financial success so that the fair
association may put On record break
ing county fair this fall. These two
enterprising men deserve great credit
for their efforts to keep the fair asso-
citation a live, going concern.
A special feature Of the Saturday
evening exhibition was a wrestling
match between kid" Hartwick, the
local grappler, and Tex Crawford, a
cowboy mat artist They divided hon
ors between them, each securing a
fall. The American Legion had large
crowds at their dances both Friday
and Saturday evenings.

WAR HELPED ATHLETICS

THE fact that 33 per cent of the
young men examined by the United
States army boards failed to meet the
requirements Of Uncle Sam has given
a tremendous impetus to athletics
and physical training throughout the
entire country" says Coach c. A. West,
who is producing teams Of champion
ship calibre at State college. And
good many of the larger colleges
and universities have provided men
and equipment to give interesting and
wholesome exercise to all students
Last year State college men were
nearly all registered in one or more
sports. 1t is by means OF such sports
as football, basketball, wrestling, box
ing, jumping, racing, baseball and ten.
mis- that the men Of the college get
not only necessary exercise but great
deal of fun. The physical trainers OF
America are coming to the realization
that supervised athletics have natu
raj interest to the men and have all
the benefits that the German or Swed
ish types Of physical education have
The big problem at State college is
not to get the men out to take the
work in the various sports, but to FIND
the necessary time to supervise the
work Every college man is giveI
an opportunity to play football, pro
viding he Is physically fit for this
rather strenuous sport. The men who
are not interested in football can take
tennis or cross country running. Be
ginning with the middle OF November
the class and military company bas
ketbau. wrestling and boxing team,
hold sway. A good wholesome rivalry
between the various organizations
gives lots OF interest to the contests
The work for the young women i!
somewhat similar except that it is no
so strenuous and in addition they arr
given calisthenics, marching and othel
exercises intended to develop correc
and graceful postures.

APPEALS
TO j. S. FOR AID
REQUEST WILL BE BASED UPON
ASSURANCE GIVEN IN THE
AMERICAN NOTE
GOVERNMENT POLICY CLEARLY STATED
Declares for Maintenance of Political
and Territorial Integrity
Of Poland.

Poland will ask immediate aid from
the United States In it's fight against
the Russian soviet government, Count
Casimir Lubirmirski, the Polish min
lister announced yesterday.
The appeal to the state department,
the minister said, will be based upon
the assurance contained in the Ameri
can note to Italy that the United
States will insist upon maintenance
of the political independence and ter
ritorial integrity of Poland.
The aid required, it was said, prob
ably will be confined to request for
an extension of credits by the United
States for the purchase Of Poland Of
surplus war stocks. Permission to
purchase 100000 army uniforms and
partment has been asked of the de-
partment by the Polish legation.
The United States stands as favor.
ing preservation of the political indie
pendence and territorial integrity of
Poland and as opposing any dismem-
berment of Russia. The outlines of
this policy were set forth in a note
dispatched by Secretary Colby to the
Italian ambassador.
To the end that Poland shall con-
tinue as an autonomous state, the
American government, Secretary Col
by declares in his note, will follow a
policy directed to the employment
of all available means to render it
effectual."
To safeguard the interests of the
Russian people as distinguished from
the existing Russian soviet regime,
the government declares to the allied
powers 1t would regard with satisfac-
ton a declaration by them of respect
for the territorial integrity and true
boundaries Of Russia.
The United States, the note asserts,
takes no exception to the efforts to
arrange an armistice between Poland
and Russia but for the present cannot
consent to any plan to divert such
armistice negotiations into general
European conference.

BLACK AND YELLOW BEST

The Black and Yellow Trail seems
to be unknown to various agencies
that are directing traffic through from
Chicago to the Yellowstone Park.
Everyone seems agreed that the B. &
Y. is the very best from Chicago
through Madison and La Crosse, Wis,
Winona, Rochester, Owattonna, Man
kato, Tracy, Mimi, etc, but when
South Dakota is reached rumors of de-
tours or different routings seem pre-
valent. 1t is the purpose of this
print to give the real facts about the
Black and Yellow between Brookings,
Huron, Philip, Rapid City, Lead, Dead
wood, ETC., in South Dakota
The two bad stretches Of road have
dried up and are now being put into
shape. These two quarter-mile rough
places in the state can be we'll borne
when the best Of going is assured
from there on. The roads are now ex-
cellent through all of South Dakota.
The Wyoming travel is the heaviest
in years, more persons have passed
through the east gate of the Yellow
some Park (the Black and Yellow
Trail entrance) than ever before. This
heavy traffic on the Wyoming roads
is just what is needed to put those
newly constructed pieces of highway
in shape. The tourist rush to the park
is no heavier than the many Wyoming
people coming east to Chicago.
The Chicago, Black Hills and Yel-
lowstone Park Highway association
under the new type of organization is
really getting results. The revision
of the trail constitution and the addi-
ton of articles dealing with the new
problems has been of great worth.
There are now over ten members Of
the B. G. Y. in every county along the
trail, who will be glad to answer all
questions or answer correspondence
Soon every garage and hotel along
the whole route from Chicago to Vel
lowstone Park will be a real service
bureau. Big framed blue print maps
Of the whole Black and Yellow Trail
will soon be handy in every garage,
hotel and community or commerce
club along the trail. These maps are
drawn absolutely to scale and give all
the points of interest with various
side trips.

management of T. c. Connolly and
H. G. Williams, citizens are assured OF
live and interesting program and
careful management without any rep
etition Of the mistakes of the past.
All exhibits will be properly taken

HUTTON AT HURON

Prof J. G. Hutton, associate pro-
fessor Of agronomy at the South Da-
kota State Agricultural college at
Brookings, has been in the county for
several days, says the Huronite Tues
day, conducting an examination of the
soil condition about here. Prof. Hut
ton is one Of the directors of the South
Dakota state experiment stations and
is also the head of the state soil sur
vey.
He has been working with the soil
In Beadle county for several years
with other state and federal men. AS
sociated with him in his work
this year are Joseph Machillis and
Charles Graves of the State college.
These men have been here off and on
during the summer and that is one
of the places being worked by the
state soil survey. Professor Hutton
stated that the work in Beadle county
would be completed inside of a month.
The method pursued in this work is
very interesting. The men go out
to a certain section in automobiles
and take samples Of the soil In those
places whereby their experiences they
perceive tendencies toward radical
differences to exist Their apparatus
goes under ground four feet and takes
from beneath the surface, samples of
the soil for every few inches in given
area. The soil is then examined and
tested From these observations, soil
map is being made. A map of the
county is now in progress, later
map OF the state will be drawn up,
and eventually the surveys of the va
rious states will compose a soil map
of the ertire United States. The work
in none vf the states is complete as
yet, although some Of them are farther
along in it than is South Dakota.
When completed, these maps will give
the rainfall of a given area, and will
also set forth all Of the typographical
and geographical characteristics of
soil. 1t will state what may be grown
in the various soils, and will also give
the approximate and normal value per
acre The idea OF 1t is to take the
speculation out of land.

MANLEY CHAMP[|N
TO CO TO CANADA
WELL KNOWN AGRONoMIST WILL
HEAD DEPARTMENT AT
SASKATOON
TAKES UP HIS NEW WORK NEXT MONTH
University Of Saskatchewan Offers
Much Greater Salary and Other
Attractive Features.

South Dakota loses a noted man.
State college loses one of it's most
valuable men and Brookings loses one
of its best citizens with the resigna-
ton of Manley Champlin, extension
agronomist at State college, to ac-
cept the position of head of the depart
ment of field husbandry at the Uni
versity of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon,
Canada, to which he was recently
elected. He will succeed Professor
John Bracken, who has been appointed
president Of the Manitoba Agricultural
college Mr. Champlin will take up
his new work next month.
Mr. Champin by his own efforts
has risen to his presen place as one
of the foremost agronomists in this
section of the country. Brookings first
knew him as a hard working student
at State college from which he gradu-
ated in 1909 He received his mas
ter's degree from State college in 1914.
Upon his graduation in 1909, he was
appointed scientific assistant in charge
of grain Investigations for the United
States department of agriculture. H
served eight years as assistant gen;
eral superintendent of the expert
mental farms and as teacher of farm
crops and farm management at State
college During that time the station
at Vivian was established and the
stations at Cottonwood and Eureka
were developed from small beginnings
Through his efforts the work at Brook
ings and Highmore was enlarged. Mr..
Champlin has been secretary OF the
South Dakota Experiment association
since it's organization and is also vice.
president of the International Crop
improvement association. He is cred
tied with the authorship or co-author-
ship of nineteen of the bulletins pub
| hshed by the South Dakota experiment
station. Last April he was promoted
to the position Of extension agronO-
mist at State college which he held
at the time of his resignation. During
the summer he has endeavored to in
terest the farmers OF the state in a
new super-wheat, called Kanred, a
hard winter wheat which is especially
drouth and rust resistant.
The president of State college and
board of regents have made unusual
efforts to retain the services of this
valuable man. His salary was raised
three times during the past twelve
months and fourth increase with
new readjustments Of his work were
proposed but to no avail The Uni
versity Of Saskatchewan does it's work
on a big scale and in addition to Civ
ing him salary greater than that
paid to heads of departments and
deans at South Dakota State college
and university there are such attrac,
tive provisions as pensions and sab
batica, leave on half pay.
The question is being raised all
over the state among wideawake lead
ers in agriculture as to how long South
Dakota will permit such calamities to
happen to this great state, for it is
nothing short of a calamity to lose
men of the calibre of Manley Champ
! lin.
