that can be successfully and econom-
ically produced at home? We talk of
high prices for foodstuffs and denounce
the flood profiteers," and continue to
play into the hands of the alleged
profiteers by using meats, vegetables
and fruits grown In this state and
shipped to Chicago to be made ready
for our use and then shipped back to
us. This means that on all these
things we must pay freight charges
both ways. besides all the legitimate,
or illegitimate. profits of the men
through whose hands the finished
product passes after leaving the farm
until 1t is returned to the consumer.
Why not save as much as possible
of the "middlemen's" profits? South
Dakota is now producing as good live
stock as any state, but most Of our
meats bear the brand OF some Chicago
packing concern. South Dakota can
produce in abundance practically all
the vegetables and fruits grown in this
latitude, and can grow them at less
expense than can be done in older
states where land prices have gone
higher than is yet the case here. Why
should not Brookings have canning
factory which wifi not only supply this
community with large percentage of
our food at lower prices than we now
pay. but will keep at home the money
now paid out every year to laborers
in other states? What other states
are doing. South Dakota can do. Take
Iowa, for instance: That state ia not
much older as state than is this, but
II Is dotted all over with factories
that ship out many thousands of dol
lars worth every year of canned goods
Nearly every county in that state has
one or more canning factories, and
they all seem to be making a fair
profit for their stockholders. In an
other column we give some facts and
figures concerning one of these fac
tories located in Grundy Center, Iowa.
a small town, not nearly so large as
Brookings, where a corn cannery paid
its stockholders 20 per cent divi-
dend the first year it was opened. And
the soil about Grundy Center is no
better than we have here, nor Is the
climate better adapted to growing
vegetables. Why not adopt as a
slogan, South Dakota Food for South
Dakota People," and send to all the
world canned goods bearing the label,
Grown and Packed at Brookings. s.
D." The Register would suggest that
our Commercial club investigate some
of the possible projects for greater
Brookings. The Sherwin Manufacture
ing Co. and a canning factory are
merely couple of the enterprises that
could be fostered and built upon.

the Nebraska congressman was right.
His poor farmers have developed their
enlarged homesteads, and the enjoying
the average degree of prosperity. Now
Judge Kinkaid's plan for a million
trees for his Nebraskans has been
adopted by the government, and they
will be distributed to over five thou
sand people by the forest service.
Thus congressman reclaimed the
desert and now he is having it
sprinkled over with trees. Men like
Judge Kinkaid do the impossible and
we may almost expect he will find
way to plant pools of water on every
far maround the borders of which his
trees will furnish shade for fishermen
who will some day gather in the finnny
tribe that Uncle Sam will be induced
to provide for these imaginary lakelets.
These last eXpectancies are, Of
course, exaggerations. But they seem
little less possible than did the
schems of that quiet Nebraska con
gressman when he broached them to
the lawmakers years ago. Would that
there were more Kinkaids, men who
would invent practical ways and means
through which government action
might be directed in making other sec
tions of the country happy and pros
eprous, by simply pointing out and in
sisting on the logical, common sense
way of doing things.
The department of agriculture fig
ures it out that 50,0O0,O00 Americans
live in the country or in places of less
than $500 inhabitants. In order to
be happy all people must have human
companionship, and the DEVELOPMENT
of this has been taking place by the
means of better mail service. tele-
phones, automobiles, good roads, and
the movies. AS result of the war
the idea of club houses has been grow
ing, and the department has been
keeping cases" on 300 of them. In
consequence our staid old agricultural
department has become enthusiastic
ocer this innovation to ruarl and vii
lage life. 1t issues statement ex-
pressing the opinion that there is q
new era growing into existence about
these community club houses. These
structures are described as "the GEN.
ters of great variety Of wholesome
activities" The building and mainte-
nance of the institutions is pictured as
rather easy for any community, and
anuyone who wants to work out the
idea at home can get lot of advance
information by sending a dime to the
Government Printing Office, Washing
ton. d. c.. for a copy of the pamphlet
called, Rural Community Buildings in
the United States"
A good many of the community
camps built for soldiers during the war
have been taken over by the local
inhabitants. with Splendid results in
most instances.

week decided that in order to provide
better salaries for professors and in
structors in the state educational in
stitutions the board will ask the next
legislature to authorize a general in
crease in salaries. To this no one
interested in the welfare Of the schools
of the state, and the education OF
the youth of the state will object
1t is generally recognized that college
and university men and women are
not paid salaries hig enough to in
duce young men and women to enter
the profession, nor to retain those
who have demonstrated their fitness
for their present positions. And the
same condition exists with reference
to all school workers Probably the
case of instructors in the small town
and rural schools is even worse. This
is true not only in this state, but in
practically all the states. In fact,
many states pay the rural teachers
even less than the average pay of
South Dakota rural teachers. But the
matter that concerns US most directly
Is the situation In our own state. AL
ready it is becoming difficult to find
teachers for the rural schools. They
realize they can earn more in almost
any other profession. or in mechanical
trades. They also have become dis
satisfied with the living conditions
they find necessary in many communi-
ties. Not long ago young man teach
ing in a rural school in this county
stated to the Register that he had
gone to bed hungry many a night;
that he found very unsatisfactory So
cial surroundings, and that as he could
earn more as farm hand. and
find better outlook for his future
working IL on farm. or by engaging
in business, he had about decided TO
abandon teaching and take up some
other line of work. The teachers are
thinking seriously of these things, and
the public, the taxpayers, must also
begin at once to seriously consider
the problem il the schools of the state
are not to suffer a severe check in
their development and even fall back
to where they were when this was a
pioneer state and most of her citizens
homesteaders. Will South Dakota con-
sent to neglect the improvement of
her sons and daughters while spend
ing thousands of dollars to improve
the breeding of her hogs and cattle? ?

The new pay schedule agreed upon
between building trades workmen and
their employers in Sioux Falls, to be-
come effective April /, next, gives car
penters $100 and plasters $3.50 per
hour. They will work eight hours per
day, and so will receive $500 and
$1,000 per day in the respective trades.
The ruarl teacher begins her days
work at 900 o'clock. She must re-
main ION the job" through the noon
hour in order to keep order among
her pupils. Everyone familiar with
the teachers duties knows she must
spend each evening al average OF at
least one hour on her reports and other
details incidental to her work Thus
she actually works" eight hours each
day. Even if it be conceded that she
does not work on Saturday, she should
be paid for 40 hours per week. Has
anyone ever heard of a rural teacher
receiving $4,000, or even $4,000 per
week?

NJ. A. Huse of the American Press
Association published an article in
the January number Of Judicious
Advertising urging manufacturers
to secure cooperation Of country
merchants by advertising in local
papers. He said, among other
things:
"The country newspaper Is the
advertisers medium for talking to

The school teacher of today must
devote several years to study and
spend many dollars to become qualified
for the work. This must be done after
having arrived at an age when other
men and women are engaged in en-
ployment for which they receive at
least enough wages to support them.

practical way most common can earn

IRISH IGNORE AWARDS

DUBLIN, August 1.-THE sums

the Sim Fein councils were willing
to assist the claimants. however, the
sum is SO great that it is said it
would prove 'fntolerable to the over

who do not relish the prospect of
having to pay for the outrages Of

the Ohio Central College, which

Perhaps Gamalia is not the ortho-

he grew up it is reported that he
prefers the snappy city spelling of
Gamaliel. But it appears as Gamalia
