"Straight" Talk Best,

When your words count you don't
need to use so many OF them. It's a
pleasure for some people to talk.
Other men talk under protest ana be-
come the best speakers because they
seek the shortest way to adequate cX-
preston. These men always get q
hearing because people know they will
get the facts without Orations. And
this Is as 1t should be. Every man
should be able to express himself. He
can learn If he IS willing to make the
effort. II may scare him half to death
at first, but he will soon find pleasure
in seeing his ideas take action In
others. Whether you are ready
talker or not You Will profit much by
making your talk count.

PATRON SAINT OF HATTERS
Why ST. Clement Has Long Been Ac-
corded Recognition by Makers Of

81. Clement IS known as the patron
saint of hatt"rs. because Of his dis
covery for the making Of compact
fabric out of wool without pressure
or weaving. The story goes that this
deyout priest, while on n journey, be-
came footsore and tired, and, removing
his sandals, sought rest by the road
side.
st. Clement was soon disturbed by
the heating Of lambs. Looking up,
he beheld Il fox that had Just seized

the fox and rescue the lamb, IN the
process Of which act he observed loose

yielding wool on his wounds, he was
able to continue his journey. on
reaching his destination st. Glenn

feet, discovering instead Of the fine
soft wool a piece of unfinished cloth,

GOVERNOR WILL ATTEND

Governor Norbeck of South Dakota
is one OF those which the Great Lakes
tidewater congress at Detroit, July %
"a, hopes to have the honor Of enter.
tanning, along with the governors OF
several other states. Already formal
acceptance has been received from
Charles McCaffree, state commission
er Of immigration for South Dakota,
and in his letter he intimates that the
governor will appoint delegation and
possibly come himself.
The congress will consider in all its
phases the project of making the wa
ters connecting the Great Lakes and
the Atlantic ocean navigable all the
way for heavy draft steamers. The
best brains that have been devoted
to this question in all its phases viii
be present and lend their findings to
the general case which will be made
for the affirmative.
In the work that has been done to
educate the American people during
the past four years on this project,
South Dakota has done healthy
share. Her representatives in Wash
ington have given aid and comfort
to those bringing for this greater and
easier outlet for it's immense and i'm
portant products.
The chambers Of commerce through
out the state may select delegates who
will be welcomed and given opportu-
nifty. to express themselves on their
interests. Many have voiced their
approval by letter. Information may
be had from the Detroit Board of Com
mercs which will act as hosts for the
congress.

FOR CREAMERY MEN

Young men employed in South Da-
kota creameries or interested in the
creamery business should write for
the bulletin Just issued by the dairy
husbandry department Of State col
lege describing the creamery short
course and dairy testing course. Stu
dents intending to register for the
creamery short course, which begins
January 4, 1921, and ends March %,
are urged to get at least six months
of practical experience in some cream
cry before taking this course, as by
this means it is found that much
greater benefit is derived from the
work at the school. Young men are
fitted by this course for various posi-.
tons in the creamery industry such
as helpers, buttermakers, ice cream
makers, managers and inspectors.
The dairy testing course, beginning
November 20 Of this year and ending
December II, is designed to meet the
needs of persons wishing to qualify
as official testers, cow-testing asso'
citation testers, cream buyers, cremery
field men, and occupations requiring
similar training.

PLAN WINTER SHORT COURSE

Now is the time to lay plans for a
short course to be held in the fall
or winter. Many communities in the
state are making arrangements for
dates and speakers at the present
time.

South Dakota law, take the place of
the old time farmers Institutes, are
given in the counties not employing
county agents. These meetings are
planned to be regular discussions OF
ways and means Of making farm work
and home life more profitable and
pleasant. Demonstrations are made
of better methods in the operation of
the farm and improved conditions in
the home.
Speakers and demonstrators are
sent out from State college without
charge to any community in which
such a meeting is desired The local
arrangements and expense are to be
taken care Of by the county. Persons
interested in having a one to six-day
short course in their locality are re.
quested to write to H. E. Dawes, super
intendent Of Short Courses, Brook.

WILL BE FIRST PAVED ROAD

The Black and Yellow Trail is the
longest stretch of improved roads in
Minnesota and will be the first road
to be paved in that state, according
TO T. j. Cation, representative Of Mr.
Babcock, father Of paved roads in Min
nesota. The designation of the Black
and Yellow trail as an official state
trunk highway east and west in Wis
consn. South Dakota and Wyoming
has assured real road second to
none as soon as surveys are completed
and the preliminary work finished.
The new constitutional amendments
of the Black and Yellow trail. as
adopted in their Pierre annual meet
ing. are being quickly put into effect
according to recent communications
from the trail SECRETARY, o. NJ. Phelps.
Of Huron, S. ID.
The interstate features Of the Black
and Yellow trail are working out as
never before" said Mr.. Phelps, "and
show the careful work of the consti.
last meeting The new officers are
live wires, every one of them, and are
getting results. | claim we have some
truly representative men as delegates
and officers from every section of the
trail and know they are doing good
work"
The new provisions of the constitu-
tion call for the election Of a presi-
dent, first vice-president, secretary
and treasurer at large from the whole
Black and Yellow trail Also, there
is state vice-president from each
state through which the trail passes.
Each county on the trail has county
chairman who is supported by the ten
representatives from each county.
There are about 35 counties along the
trail in the several states traversed.
So counting over ten Black and Vel
low. trail members to a county, there
will be over 350kmen from Chicago
to the Black HMs and Yellowstone
Park who will be in direct touch with
the Black and Yellow trail to whom
tourists or anyone may turn for the
latest reports.
Much is being done to better the
markings Of the Black and Yellow
trail all along the line, both putting
in new markers and marks and touch.

STATE EDITORS MEET

Publishers of newspapers of South
Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa gathered
in Sioux City Thursday, July Is, for a
combination business session and fun
fest, and so successful was the affair
from every point of view, it was gen.
orally agreed that such meetings
should be held regularly in the future
at least once year.
Characteristically Sioux City was

From beginning to end Of the conven.
ton, it was one merry round of en-
tertainment, with few profitable
business sessions in between times,
So often has Sioux City proved its
capabilities In showing visitors a good
time, convention attendants have
come just naturally to look for a good
time in Sioux City, but in the case of
the tri-state editorial meeting the
good burg even outdid itself, and every
prospective United States president of
the 200 or SO that made up the con-
vention vent home on Saturday more
enthusiastic than ever over the Sioux
City way and more kindly inclined
than ever toward the future metrop-
oils of the middle west.

SOUTH DAKOTA LEADS

For fifteen years South Dakota has
ranked first in per capita production
Of agricultural products, according to
figures compiled by Charles McCaffree,
state commissioner of immigration
from the figures Of the final govern
ment report of 1919.
After satisfying all needs for home
consumption South Dakota exported
in 1919 over $4OO, 100000 worth of farm
products, the main items of which
were: Livestock, $154,631 900; corn,
$40, 900; wheat, 1924, 900; oats,
$22,115,0O0; barley. $25,117,000; fax
seed, $1,377,OO0; potatoes. $4,000 900;
dairy, poultry, fruit, etc, $4,000, 900.
This constitutes for our estimated
population Of $4,000 over $625.OO for
each man, woman and child.
The last assessment shows total
of $2,095, 1854 ,276.66. This amount, il
equally divided would give 81, 1893 .O8 for
each person or $14,96540 for each fam
lily taking five as the average per fam
lily throughout the state.
South Dakota takes justified pride in
the wealth that is secured each year
in increasing quantity from it's soil
Probably no other item shows the po-
tentialities for wealth of It's farm lands
as the increase in it's bank deposits
from year to year In 1910 its bank
deposits were $S7.7S3, ,967.7S. In 1920
these are $285,617,276.66, an increase
over 1919 Of $79,121, ,2O277. If you were
to divide our 1920 deposits equally
among the population of the state you
would be able to give each man,
woman and child over $4,000

TOTS HAVE FUN
AT PLAYGROUND
RING GAMES GAIN GREATEST
POPULARITY WITH THE
LITTLE GIRLS
OLDER GIRLS PREFER TO PLAY BALL
Over One Hundred Children Attend
Morning Play Programs Under
Miss Hanna Peterson.

Ring games are the most popular

play every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday mornings on the school house
grounds. Ring games" explains
Miss Hanna Peterson, the Red Cross
home service worker who supervises
the play, Are games in which the
children form circular groups and ac-
company the game by chanting a
song The songs are short, easily
learned and easily sung. Ring-around-

ers of similar nature that Miss Peter
son has taught the children from the
repertory fo~ two or three hours of
morning play The little tots seem
never to tire of these games and at
the end of two hours are still eager
to play some more with never a
thought of being tired or losing in
terest. The swings are very popular
with large number and are in con-
tinuouS use. When one little girl was
asked what she liked best at the play
ground, stated, "Oh, / like the sand
box the very, very best" The num-
ber of little girls who come to the
Fairgrounds has ranged from so to
125, and not one Of them but who
has found something fascinatingly in
teresting at the playground.
The older girls who have their or
ganized play in the afternoon prefer
to play ball above everything else
They have a number of soft, large
indoor balls especially adapted for
their games. OF the seven or eight
different kind Of ball games they have
learned to play, scrub" at present
holds the biggest interest. The num-
Der of girls who turn out in the after
noon is not so large as the morning
crowd and both Miss Peterson and the
girls wish that more would come Sc
they could have more fun.
Under new arrangement Miss Pc,
terson will supervise the play on Mon
days, Miss Myrtle Keck on Wednes.
days, and Miss Blanche Tompkins on
Fridays. This is made necessary be.
cause Miss Peterson has so many
other duties in connection with the
home service work which require her
attention both in Brookings and all
of the other towns in the county. The
boys have their playground on the
county fair grounds and have equally
good times there although they do not
attract so much attention since they
are farther away from the center OF
the city. Their play is supervised on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
