HOLDEN ADDRESSES HANDFUL

1t was a small crowd that heard the
big message of Prof p. G. Holden at
the college auditorium last Friday
evening. Prof. Holden, man of in
ternational fame as an agriculturist,
usually known in this section of the
eminent sociologist and educator. He
has always been vitality interested in
boys. "a town or a community" he
said, SIS not made up of buildings,
sidewalks, streets and trees princi-
pally, but of people. The most import
ant people in any community is the
rising generation. If every building
were to be destroyed, the town would
not cease to exist, but the younger
generation would build it up so that
in few years the town would be
bigger and better than ever. But sup
pose all Of the boys and girls were
destroyed and all of the buildings left
intact, the town would soon cease to
exist and pass entirely from the mem
ory of man" Mr. Holden held that
boys were not given a square deal and
that with just ordinary care of the
right sort, bad boys would soon be
an oddity. The key to the matter. ac-
cording 20 Prof Holden, is to see that
every boy owns something and always
to respect his rights of ownership.
Give him responsibility and feeling
of his Importance and he will seldom
fail. Mr.. Holden advocated teachers
all the year round, following the plan
of the educational system Of Utah.
which he says is the most advanced
of any in the United States. He sug-
gested that the civic organizations Of
Brookings could make this city known
the world over if they would set out
steadfastly and heartily with a definite
plan to make this a model city. He
made numerous suggestions for a plat
form the main one being, Have a
home for every family" A man will
fight for his home, but never for a
boarding house. Social unrest, labor
problems, and a great number of kin
dred ills would be solved if there were
home for every family.

SIOUX VALLEY FLOODED

The heavy rains locally and a cloud
burst north Of US early Tuesday morn.
ing flooded the Sioux river valley in
a manner that has not been equaled
m years. Many farms We're completely
inundated and the resulting crop loss
vas tremendous. The water came
down and flowed with such violence
that the seed was washed right out
of the ground in many places Col
leae creek went way over its banks
and flooded the road The heavy
dOwnpour was not noticed so much
in the city because the storm sewers
carried the water away as fast as il
fell. The water subsidized quite rap
idly Wednesday but great deal still

PAY TRIBUTE TO
NATIONS HEROES
SIMPLICITY AND SOLEMNITY FEA.
TURES OF THE MEMORIAL
DAY SERVICE
REV. B. A. BENSON DELIVERS ADDRESS
Gray Haired Veterans Review Big
Memorial Parade in Command
of Capt. o. NJ Bradley.

Simplicity and solemnty were the
mortal day in this city last Sunday
making it one of the most impressive
in the city's history At ten O'Clock
in the morning, the members of the
Womans' Relief Corps, the Sons of
Veterans, the SpanishAmerican War
Veterans, the American Legion, the
Womans' Auxiliary and the Boy Scouts
met at the G.. A. r. hall each pinning
a white carnaton on his or her breast
and forming in ranks marched to the
Lutheran church. The interior Of the
church was decorated beautifully and
appropriately. During those few quiet
moments before the services began,
everyone, who sat within the church
breathing the heavy, perfumed air
fairly charged with memories Of de-
parted comrades, buddies, sons, broth
ers, husbands and fathers, paid silent
tribute to the memory of the nations
heroes. The Rev. B. A. Benson deliv-
cred splendid memorial sermon. 1t
was one that paid high tribute to
the grey haired veterans of the great
civil conflict, one that gave them
praise, not tears, one that gave them
honor, not sympathy The main theme
Of his sermon was the certain victory
of all armies who fought for the prin-
ciples of Christianity The Lutheran
choir added great deal to the morn
ing service by singing several beau
tiful songs. At the close of the SER
vice a group of little girls came for
ward with small baskets of flowers and
decorated the proud breasts Of the vet
erans of the Civil war who were pres
ent.
At three O'Clock in the afternoon a
memorial parade in command of Cap
tain o. n. Bradley. cOmmandant Of the
r. o. r. C. unit at State college,
started from the court house led by
the military band and a battalion Of
cadets. 1t was reviewed by the Grand
Army from the steps Of the pOstofIiCe
and brought to a halt with open ranks.
While everyone stood at attention the
Grand Army marched through and the
procession followed them down Main
street to the railway station The
rain which had been threatening for
over an hour, then fell in earnest and
as many as could hurried into the
waiting automobiles while the others
scurried to shelter.
The cemetery presented a beautiful
appearance, the flowers and grass
freshened by the shower Of rain. Ex-
ercises in honor of the dead were
held there after the parade by the
G.. A. r. and the Womans' Relief Corps
Leonard Ladd delivered Lincolns
Gettysburg address The post adiutant
called the roll and taps were blown
by Prof Carl Christensen. This ended
the ceremonies of the day, which was
considered by the patriotic orders as
one of the most successful ever held
in Brookings. The American Legion
was praised highly for their efforts in
this, the first Memorial service in
which they have participated.

SOME NEW DAIRY RECORDS

Two COWS in the State colleg. Hol.
stein herd give enough milk each day
to supply the entire needs of the
cafeteria which feeds hundreds of
students three times day and still
have plenty left over. These two COWS
averaged over 100 pounds of milk each
day for thirty days. Three cows have
produced 80 pounds of butter in seven
days and one other failed to make that
amount by less than one-fifth of a
pound. Among the four are a daugh-
ter and granddaughter of College
Belle Wayne. These are some of the
remarkably high records that have
been made at the college during the
last year.
The records now being made are a
direct result of years of careful breed
ing and selection. The enormous size
of the college Holstains has much to
do with their high-producing ability.
One Of the cows weighted 1850 pounds
a few days before freshening. This
size and rug2edness however have not
been secured at the expense Of uni
formity of type. One would have to
go long way to find another herd in
which are such consistent producers,
at the same time showing a type fully
up to standard.
The cows and their seven-day rec
ords are as follows:
