AN UNUSUAL OCCASION

Last Saturday evening the clergy
men OF Bookings and their wives were
invited to the G.. A. r. hall to a ban
quet given by the wives of the old
soldiers. Rev. J. d. Gardner and wife
were requsted to lead the company
to the spacious dining hall to the
strains of a patriotic march, played
upon the piano, accompanied by all
the ministers and their wives of the
city, with the exception Of Father
Dooley. who was out Of town. Mrs.
Marsine, president of the w. r. c.,
and Mrs. Luckenvill Of the association
board, were included in the company
The tables were beautifully decorated
with flowers and the frosted cakes,
as centerpieces, were covered with
tiny silk flags. The tables reminded
one of the "old time" wedding tables.
The delicious viands reminded us Of
mothers cooking" We all Joined in
singing, Praise God From Whom All
Blessings Flow" Then Mr.. Gardner
requested DR.. Bemies to ask the bless
ing. At the close, Mr.. Gardner re-
quested that we sing a stanza engraved
upon the teapot of the Rev. John Wes-
ley, as follows:
1--WE thank Thee, Lord, for, this our
food,
But more because of Jesus blood;
Let mana to our souls be given,
The bread of life sent down from
heaven"
At the suggestion of DR.. Pierce,
Mr. Gardner lined" in the "old time"
style, and all joined in singing to the
tune of "Old Hundred"
Thus closed one of the most de-
lightful occasions, refreshing our mem
cries of what these cold veterans Of
of the Civil war" in their fine young
manhood did for our beloved country,
and thereby for the world.

Y. w. c. A. NOTES

Saturday afternoon, beginning ut
$3.50 and continuing until 500 p. M,
the college cabinets, new and old, met
at the club room Of the public library
for course in cabinet training. In
the absence of the president, Helen
Johnston, who has been called home
by sickness, Miss Grace Rohrback pre-
sided. The program was as follows:
Devotionals, Mrs. Rohrback; History
of Y. w. G. A." Miss Keith; "T Place
of the Young Women's Christian as
sociation on the Campus" Miss Marion
Gerlach. Committee reports-Finance,
Erma Pepple; social, Zeta Forsee;
world fellowship, Elizabeth Chase;
meetings, Grace Rohrback; service,
Helen Day; discussion of problems;
supper.
Miss Gerlach's talk on the place of
the association was very helpful. Not
only did she emphasize the good points,
but also pointed out certain dangers.
She commended the big sister
movement started last fall and gen
eral discussion brought out fachs that
will help in carrying out this plan
more efficiently. BY this plan each
new girl is assigned to one of a group
of older girls who have pledged them
selves to do all they can in helping
the girl who comes here stranger.
The supper which is an annual af-
fair given the new cabinet by the old,
proved very enjoyable. Nineteen girls
sat down to white covered table dec
grated in association colors, blue and
white.
The new officers and committee
members are: President, Lena Spit
zer, Edgley, N. D.; vice-president,
Hazel Hutchinson, Webster; secretary.
isabelle Merry. Dell Rapids; treas
urer, Audrey Beatty, Clark; religious
meetings chairman. Ora Sloat, Gettys-
burg; finance. Elizabeth Solberg.
Brookings: bible study, Elizabeth
Brown, Brookings: world Fellowship.

Marie Cushing. Ramona, Col; service.

THE CROWS NEST

Spring is on the way, though some
what delayed by the cold winds COM
ing from the covered areas that
surround us in almost every direction,
and it Is time to lay plans for the
beautifying of our lawns and parkings.
In winter time vehicles can take short
cuts without doing much damage. but
the private owner ought not to be
imposed upon because the roads and
streets are not kept in the best condi-
ton possible. When the spring break
up comes and the ground becomes soft
and yielding there Is no good reason
for taking short cuts or for driving
along parkings or hauling heavy loads
across public and private lands cutting
great ruts that cannot be smoothed out
this season. 1t IL only necessary to
take o VT X A5out the city and make
q note OF the damage that Is being
done to public grounds by needless
parties who care nothing for the At
ness of things. II Is up to the city Of
dcials or school ofilcials to see that

"PRETTY BABY"

Jimmie Hodges new 1920 version of
Pretty Baby" which comes to the
Grand Opera house next Tuesday
night, April 13. ceases to be warn
ing for the safety of ones pedal ex-
tremties after the first glimpses of
the program, becoming with the rise
of the curtain an invitation to the
widest delirium Of syncopation that
has ever been offered and which will
lure any audience into rare good hu-
NOR. The entertainment is called "the
musical comedy of the hour in two
acts" which inadequately describes the
array of headliners who are seen in
their most fetching specialities with
frills aplenty; the maze of lively
terpsichorean stunts; the lavish and
luxurious costumes and seven elabo-
rate mounting of piece
When the ball starts rolling there
is carefully suggested plot which has
to do with a young lady one year wed,
who on finding out via letter that
her husband has been trifiing from
his own hearth succeeds in winning
him back to the straight and narrow
path with the aid of a droll servant.
Among the original principals are Don
Lanning, Jean Gaynor, Ada Langley,
Joe Richardson, Ray Yearwood, Tom
Williams, Marion Kelly, and the usual
handsome, well-dressed. well-trained

CANAL NEEDS AIR PROTECTION

Congressman James G. Strong of
Kansas has recently returned from a
trip to the Panama canal. He de-
clares that one of our greatest needs
is adequate aeroplane protection for
that waterway. At the present time
there is one aviation field, poorly
equipped with a lot Of obsolete ma
chimes. Mr. Strong had his son,
trained aviator with him and they
both assert that it would be an easy
matter for hostile battleships to
launch aeroplanes from their decks
and completely tie up the canal with
few wel[directed bombs. There is an
elaborate hydroplane field at the
canal, but the congressman declares
that little attention is being paid to
the needs of the army air service at
that point.

How we'll meant schemes for reduc-
ing the cost Of living for the poorer
class" works out in their application
is again shown in the widely advo-
Gated plan to have all who need to
economize buy and use only the
cheaper cuts of meat for one week.
No sooner did the suggestion promise
to materialize than the unusual de-
mand for the cheaper cuts was taken
advantage Of by the packers and re-
tailers and prices for these cheap cuts
were advanced to point at which
this meat was as expensive, quality
considered, as the choice cuts. And

if he has ordinarily good ability. For
this reason he looks askance at all
suggestions Of legislation that would
fix him irrevocably In wage-earning
class. And the employer, or manager
Of large concerns, realizes that turn
of the wheel Of fortune may at any
time reduce him to the ranks of the
men who work for wages, and he is
not keen about securing legislation
that would fix conditions under which
he could not exist in comfort as a
wage-earner. Talk of two opposing
classes in this country, as they yet
exist in the Old World countries, is
nonsense, and attempting to array two

here is criminal nonsense.

PRODUCER AND CONSUMER

In discussing the problem of the re-
lation existing between producer and
consumer" many public speakers and
newspaper writer's assume that there
are in this country two entirely sep
arate and distinct classes of citizens
producers and consumers-whose re.
spective interests are Numerically op-
posed to each other. These speakers
and writer's ignore the fact that in
a country like this, where practically
everyone is a worker in some line of
activity and therefore in some sense
a producer, there can be no "class"
Of citizens who may be considered as
merely consumers; that is, of course,
IL we except "the idle rich," who are
not deserving of any consideration in
connection with the matter of the high
cost of living.
It will be conceded of course. that
the wage-earner Is producer, and
therefore interested in securing higher
prices for what he produces. But this
same man is also a consumer, to the
extent of what his wages will buy,
and therefore equally interested in
lower prices for what he must buy
and consume. 1t would seem that II
the American people will approach
the matter in a practical, fair manner,
keeping in mind at all times that II
what the wage or salary Garner and
other producers shall be paid, and
what they must pay for what they con-
sumo, can be equitably adjusted
there will then no longer exist this
vexing problem Of attempting to equal
ize earnings and expenses for all

try no regularly defined and fixed lines
