sive manner.

disputes between capital and labor in
all public service corporations, includ.
ing railroads, should be settled by
compulsory arbitration, under the d.
rection of the federal government"

HISTORY OF MOVEMENT
the Interchurch World

! Historically the Interchurch World
Movement of North America is the
logical outgrowth' Of a tendency OF
The national boards in each denomina
tion to form working alliances amons
themselves, in which each board shall
preserve its identity and control its
own personnel and treasury.
In former times, the home mission
society, the foreign mission society
the church extension society and the
various phlanthropic and eleemosyn
airy agencies of any denomination con
Quoted their affairs independently OF
one another. Each surveyed its own
restricted territory, prepared a budget
of money and workers for its own
purposes and made its own appeal
to its constituency for support.
This could only mean that these
agencies were more or less in compe-
tition with one another, that there
was waste and duplication of work
and money, and that among them all
some work was neglected and some
denominational resources were entire
ly overlooked Because of their spe-
cialized training, the leaders of each
agency regarded themselves as pecu-
liarly fitted for their tasks and ieal-
ously regarded attempts at outside
interference.
After decades Of such haphazard
methods, the leader of one denomina-
nation decided upon an experiment.
They thought it would be possible for
the agencies for get together for a
common study of all the opportunities
and resources of their brotherhood,
to make out a unified budget of men
and money. 1t was made clear that
each constituent board should pre-
serve complete autonomy.
When the board representatives met
they found it possible to eliminate a
great amount of organization expenses.
They ultimately worked out budget
and plan of campaign that was salts
factory to all. This resulted in the
famous Men and Millions Movement"
of the Disciples of Christ, which
brought in what was then considered
the staggering sum of $6,300,000 for a
five-year program. The members of
the communion were so pleased with
this business-lke method of conduct
ing affairs that they contributed even

ROSS ELLIOTT MADE DEAN

Ross W. Elliott, son of w. S. Elliott
of this city, has won a signal promo
tion at Hibbng, Mimi. He received
his education in the Brookings city
schools and at State college from
which he graduated as electrical engi-
neer in 1908. The Hibbing paper has
the following to say of the promotion:
"R. w. Elliott, for several years
at the head of the electrical depart
ment of the Hibbing public schools
has been named dean of the Junior
college and will take active charge
at a date not yet named. He sue
ceeds c. M. Willett who has been
serving in two capacities, principal
of the high school and dean of the
Junior college The change affords
Mr.. Willett more time to devote to
the high school work which is grow
ing every month. Both men are
among the oldest members of the local
high school faculty.
The new dean is we'll fitted for
the new Office and is one of the most
popular educators in the state.

NEW KIND OF CONTEST

In unique contest of four events,
Brookings high school will meet Lake
Preston high school tomorrow night in
Brookings Each school will have one
representative in each of the follow
ing events: Dramatic defamation,
humorous defamation, oration ond pi-
ano solo. The school winning three of
these events will be declared victor.
The particular value of this type of
contest is the opportunity it affords
for large number of students to par
ticipate and the chance it gives to
each school of winning at least one
event. The audience will also appre-
ciate the widely varied program. An
extemporaneous speech was also in.
cluded in the program but the Lake
Preston representative fell i'll hence
that number was cancelled. Ruby o.
son will give the dramatic declama-
ton; Frances Clark. the humorous dec
lamation: Roger Atkinson, the oration,
and Florence Brown will give the piano
solo. 1t is planned to give the pro-
gram in the college auditorium.

ODD FELLOW CELEBRATION

A parade of about two hundred Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs in full regalia,
probably led by band, will start off
the celebration of the one hundred
first anniversary of American Odd
Fellowship next Monday evening at
500 o'clock in Brookings. The ami
versary will be observed in similar

ternally invited The Rev. F.. p Buyer,
secretary of Arlington lodge, will be
the principal speaker. The local lodge
will be assisted by the lodges at Arl-
ington, Volga, Aurora and White.
Delegations totalling $50 members are

PRAISE NEW PASTOR

! The Mendoza, H.. Reporter has the
toi,owing to say in regard to, the re
! r'ovai of James A. G. Waits to Brook
! ings:
Rev. Waits, pastor Of the Presbyte
rian church of this city, will leave about
May first with his wife and family foy
Brookings, s. d., where they will make
their future home as the Reverend has
accepted call to the pastorate of the
Presbyterian church of that city II
came as a surprise to Rev. Waits foI
he has never visited Brookings. The
letters from the elders, description OF
the church, city, substantial increase
in salary, opportunities for advance.
ment and to work out plans he had In
mind, caused him to accept the call.
At a meeting Of the elders Of his
church in this city on Tuesday even
ing it was voted, after due and careful
consideration, to release Rev. Waits
and allow him to take up the work at
Brookings. 1t was with much regret
on the part of the elders, members Of
the church and citizens that one, who
has labored here for number OF
years is to leave, but he has Oppcr-
tunities at Brookings which are not
offered here for advancement.
Rev. Waits has been pastor Of the
Mendoza Presbyterian church for the
past seven years, coming here direct
from college, thus he is young man
with the world before him. He has
proven his true worth in this city and
by his consistent work has been able
to add more than $50 names to the
membership of his church. This is
very good when it is considered the
Presbyterian church had large en-
rolment when he came. Rev. Waits
was the organizer of one of the largest
mems classes in this part of the state
and this has been wonderful inspira-
ton to the pastor as well as members
of his church and also other churches.
Rev. Waits is a member OF the Ma
sonic fraternity, having attained the
knights Templar degree. He Is re-
spected and stands well in the COM
munity, both city and country. He
has the ability to warm up to men,
no matter what their calling may be,
and wins them for the better life.
He is married and has family OF
three beautiful children.
Brookings, S. d., is an educational
center. The State College of Agri'
culture and Mechanic Arts has large
student body. The city is the size of
Mendoza and they are now building
100000 high school building which
will draw pupils from many miles of
adjacent territory. The church is
fine structure, well appointed for work
in various departments. There is
membership of 400 with material for
additional enrolment on every hand.
The spirit If the people in the west is
much different than even in this por-
ton of the country and Rev. Waits
is just the man to be picked as their
pastor. With his ability he will show
the elders and members of the church
at Brookings they have made no mis-
take in their selection.

WILL HELP POTATO GROWERS

Assistance to potato growers of the
state in the recognition of potato dis
eases and suggestion of proper rene
dies is offered by the apartment Of
plant diseases of State college. Upon
request franked tag may be OBJ
tanned which will allow a given mum
Der of potatoes to be sent in for eX-
animation, free of postage.
Potato planting time will soon be
here and the potato growers ought now
to be thinking of what seed he expects
to use Not only will he want to plant
potatoes which came from good hills
last summer, but he should also be
sure that the seed is disease free
Have the potatoes during the winter
months developed any cases of dry
rot? If they have these should not be
used for seed and any potatoes which
were in contact with the diseased ones
should be treated with either the for
maldehyde or the corrosive sublimate
treatment.
Do the potatoes show black specks
which refuse to wash of? These
specks are an indication of rhizoc'
tonia and when used for seed are apt
to give hill of small potatoes. Both
dry rot and rhizoctonia are diseases
which will live over in the ground
for at least four years, and where
present, rotation of crops should he
practiced.

WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO

The honor of being in the highest de-
gree first class city builder in Brook
ings falls to woman. In the short
space of six years, Mrs. Lizzie Nelson
has built, bought, remodeled. rented
and sold as many or more houses as
any one man, company. or corporation
in Brookings in an equal period of
time. Six years ago, two years after
her husbands death. with limited
means and three children to support,
Mrs Nelson came to Brookings from
VolSa and bought house from f.. G.
Olson at the corner of Seventh avenue
and Eighth street After taking in
roomers and boarders for year she
found the income insufficient and de-
cided to build larger house AS
result the large three-story stucco
House" was built She then took in
roomers in both houses, most Of whom
were college students. In the follow
ing year she sold the house on the
corner and moved into the Nelson
House"
After buying the corner lot at
Seventh avenue and Seventh street
upon which a small cottage was stand
ing, she moved the cottage back next
to the alley and remodeled 1t into a
comfortable home last summer. Later
in the summer she planned the large
tile and stucco duplex house which is
now nearing completion at the corner
of Seventh and Seventh" This large
new house will be ready for occupancy
by May /, although considerable work
on the outside still remains to be fin
ished The next thing Mrs. Nelson
did was to sell the cottage which she
had remodeled and buy the large white
house on Seventh avenue, now occu-
pied by Prof. j. w. Wilson.
Mrs. Nelson's chief aim at present
is to accommodate small families who
are unable to get houses or rooms.
Many people, who move to Brookings
with the intention of staying here per-
manently, are forced to leave town
because they can find no place to live.
During the few summer months last
year, Mrs. Nelson took care Of eleven
families. There can be no question
that she is doing great service to
the city of Rrookings. She has al
ways stood firmly for all civic i'm
provements such as paving, and
worked hard for the bond issue for
the new school building. Her son
and Oldest daughter are at present at
tending the Brookings high school and
the younger daughter is in the grades.
All three are receiving an excellent
education at State college

JOHNSON HAS BIG
LEAD IN NEBRASKA
RETURNS FROM $50 PRECINCTS
GIVE 1000 PLURALITY. TO
CALIFORNIA SENATOR
lOWDEN DOES NOT FIGURE IN THE RACE
Delegate to the Democratic
National Convention.

With returns from 336 out of 1849
precincts heard from early today, Sen
ator Hiram Johnson led the field of
candidates for republican preference
in Tuesdays primary, the vote being:
Johnson, 12,O02; Wood, S,741; Per
shing, 5,56S and Ross, 4S1
In Douglas county (Omaha), Sena-
tor Johnson obtained plurality of
277 over General Wood in the first
113 out of 164 precincts to report
while in the state outside of Douglas,
he had plurality over Wood of 1854
the first 223 precincts.
With the small number of precincts
heard from, William Jennings Bryan
is running sixth in a field of eight for
delegate-at-large to the democratic ma
tional convention, but he has displayed
more strength in the counties out
side Of Douglas county where the large
heard from.
With 22S precincts out of 1,s49 tab
ulated, the vote gives:
Hitchcock delegates, Neville, 1852;
Shallenberger, 1900 Neble, 6,573; Nc
Neny, 6,247; Bryan delegates, Ste
phens, 1886; Bryan, 5,147; Berg, 1855,
and Thomas, Alp.
In the race for delegate-at-large 10
the republican convention, the early
returns show the Wood delegate lead
ing by a fairly good margin although
returns are so meagre that nothing
like forecast is possible.
For democratic preference, United
States Senator Hitchcock had little
trouble in overwhelming his opponent,
Robert Ross of Lexington, the sena-
tors vote running as high as four to
one for Ross in both Douglas county
and in the other parts OF the state.
