Of late registration is expected. The
greater part of the wounded soldiers
assigned here for vocational training
are yet to arrive. OF the two hundred
that will be here only about thirty
five have reported. Chaplain G. p.
Squires, who is the advisor for these
men, says that he does not expect
them to come in a body. Their orders
are issued from vocational headquar-
ters and the oates named for them to
report vary greatly. Some will not
report until November when the
school of agriculture opens. At pres
ent the men are being accommodated
in the armory.
The supply of rooms for the stu
dents has proven adequate so far. The
rooming situation at present looks
very hopeful. The first classes met
Wednesday and the school is gradu-
ally settling down to the regular rot
tine. The student board of control
met Tuesday and elected Emmett Dye
president for the coming year. The
band and orchestra were organized
Wednesday afternoon under Prof. Carl
Christensen. The first chapel exer-
ciscs were held this morning. The
annual Y. NJ. and Y. w. mixer for the
students will take place Saturday
evening.
Every afternoon Coach West may
be seer OF the football field working
with the large squad of men who have
reported for practice. The majority
of the old men have returned and an
unusually large and high class bunch
of new men have reported. The coach
and Capt. Jim Salisbury are well
pleased with the prospects of shaping
a championship team. Fol the back
field are the following candidates,
Greek Willadsen, George Roberts and
Doc Mccain, all of whom are men
who proved their ability as backs last
year, plus such new men as Jack
Funk, a quarterback with four years
experience, Thune, Welcome Waltz,
Art Johnson, Helgerson, Walseth, Mot
ley and Cook from Fort Dodge, who
played halfback on the championship
team of Iowa. While the line has not
the wealth of material that the back
field has, there are many strong can
didates. Jim Salisbury at tackle,
Towers at center, Simonson, Mckay
and Lippert at guard, are all last
years men who look good. The new
men include Thompson, a big fellow
from Fort Dodge and picked for the
all state team last year, Mudeking Of
Tracy, weighing 100 pounds, and three
candidates for center, namely, Petty
and Connell from Hot Springs and
Haisch from Bonesteel. All Of the
men are working at top speed with
the coach to get into shape for the
fret game which will be played a week
from Saturday at. Aberdeen.

STRAWS SHOW HARDING

According to the straw vote being
made by Kendall's drug store and all
other Rexall stores in the state show
that the wind is blowing toward Hard
ing, but for a solidly republican state
there is an unusually large vote for
Cox. The last count of the ballots
cast in Brookings showed a total of
II for Harding and SO for Cox. The
women's vote in Brookings is about
half that of the men, but is almost
unanimous for Harding. The returns
of the straw vote from the entire state
show 237 for Harding and 104 for Cox.
The women's vote was SIS for Harding,
20 for Cox.

They are honest. The paper Dravada

lawyer said was copy of sheet
in the possession of Dravada."
'T am not much of a literary man, :"
said Morgan, taking from black
leather case a manuscript which he
handed to me, 'but I've read The
Moonstone and this looks to me like
a couple of chapters copied out of it..
Probably you are familiar with The
Moonstone.'

Then what do you make of that
manuscript"

The manuscript was copy of part Of

Dravada took after the lawyer had

Dravada is a thief; Jed isn't much

manuscript that had something to do
with a concealed crime. Jed got the
rest of the manuscript, so Dravada
says. Dravada has been trying to
make Jed go $3.50. He has been try
ing to get the rest of the manuscript.
He'll murder Jed yet.
'Now here's the way look at it: A

Alarm Clock for the Deaf.

An alarm clock which will prove use
full to the deaf and also to those
whom the ordinary alarm clock fails
to arouse has recently been patented.
At the hour at which the alarm is set
not only does the bell ring but a wood
en- ruler taps the sleeper gently on the
head until the "cease action" lever is
pulled. This should prove efficacious
except for those who sleep with their
heads under the bed clothes. The in

The signing of peace treaty and

at Riga agreed that that described it.

The various factions Of the Italian
Socialist party, assembled in conven-
ton, have been having a struggle for
control. The moderates appear to
have the whip hand and have refused
to let the party commit itself in favor
of soviet rule for Italy. The confer
ence voted solidarity with Russia but
the majority stood fast against the
Communists and made it plain they
wanted no repetition in Italy of what
has happened to Russia. Their lead
ers declared the Russian difficulties
came from the rottenness of the pres
emf regime and that the Bolshevik gov
eminent would be unable to transport
products to other countries even after
the blockade is lifted. Later in the
week Socialist leaders and those of
the General Confederation of Labor
published joint manifesto ordering
demonstrations in every town in Italy
to force the government to recognize
soviet Russia. They said general
strike of rail workers had been ar
ranged.
