WAS
GREAT SUCCESS
m MANY WAYS MOST REMARK
ABLE OF ANY EVER HELD
IN THIS COUNTY
TEACHERS ARE MUCH PLEASED WITH It
Registration Shows III Teachers
Attended Sessions Which
Closed Saturday.

The best institute | ever attended"
said one teacher. The only institute
that | ever enjoyed and felt at the
same time that | had received great
benefit" said another. From these
and similar remarks ii is evident that
the Bookings county teachers insti-
tute which closed last Saturday after
a three-day session at the administra-
ton building at State college, was an
unqualified success. The registry kept
by Mrs. Mabel X. Trooien, county
superintendent, shows an attendance
of III teachers. Mrs. Trooien said
that in many respects this institute
was the most remarkable of any ever
held in the county. An exceptionally
competent corps of speakers and in
struCtorS were secured from many diff
ierent parts of the country. Practi-
cally every educational problem was
presented in a professional way and
many valuable suggestions were Of
fered as means of solution. Through
the efforts of the instructors and the
responsive attitude of the teachers, I'M.
portant results will no doubt be noted
in the teachers service in the school
rooms of this county. Supt. S. w.
Johnson led the meetings and proved
20 be one Of the most valuable in
sLr%uCtors. The work CT Mrs. FOS-
broke as story teller received a large
part of the praise of the attending
teachers.
on Saturday the joint session Of the
school officers and teachers was held.
School district officers and patrons
from all parts of the county were
present at this session which was
enc of the most noteworthy meetings
of it's kind ever held in the county.
This was the first institute to be
held under the new law requiring
them to be held during the early part
Of the school year instead of f How
ing the close of school in the spring
AS in former years. The teachers
are agreed that the fall is the logical
time for the institute since they then
get helpful suggestions and instruc-
ton at a time when they need it most
and when it is most useful. And
furthermore they are in q more re-
ceptive mood. When the institute
was held at the close Of the year
when the teacher was tired and ORR
out after the years work, she did not
feel in a responsive attitude toward
lecturers who told her how to do
things.

NOTED SINGER COMING

Through the efforts Of +. c. Nolan
and the cooperation of the Brunswick
Bake Collender Co, makers Of Bruins
wick monographs, the people Of
BrOokings have a rare treat in store
for them, when Virginia Rea, Ameri-
cas- greatest soprano, will appear in
under the auspices Of the American
Legion on Friday evening, December
3. This is without question the great
est musical treat ever offered in this
city and a privilege that no other city
in the state Of similar size can boast.
Miss Rea, who already rejoices in
the reputation Of a second Galli-Curci,
is a Kentucky girl and without a doubt
Americas greatest soprano. She pos
sesses the versatility and firm mu-
steal foundation which enables her to
sing the most difficult arias with the
natural ease which is the achievement
only of true art. In addition to these
endOwments, Miss Rea has the warm
beauty for which the south Is famous
and a personality never failing in
cham and garciousness. Citizens will
look forward with great eagerness to
December 3, the date on which they
will be permitted to hear this great
artist.

STATE OF A

The state Of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week is characterized by hesitation.
Price reductions accentuate uncertain
ty hitherto noted. Cumulative effects
of past restricted buying, plus warm
weather and lower priced farm prod
ucts. affect distribution. Increased
caution by retailers, though that
branch relatively best situated as re-
CARDS sales. Industry quieter. Collec-
tons slower. Crops good. Corn we'll
out Of frost danger. Cotton estimates
likely to be reduced. Stock market
divided. Industrials off, but rails up.
Time money lower. Crop movement
late. Wheat exports very large. Fail
ures increased. Clearings outside OF
New York still gain over 1919.
This weeks index number, based
on the prices per pound of thirty-one
articles used for food, is $4.33, which
compares with $4.45 last week and
$4.87 for the week ending October .,
1919. This weeks number shows a
loss of 81 per cen from last week
and of II per cent from the like week
Of last year.

HIGH SCHOOL WINNERS

Brookings high school pigskin war
riors trounced the football team of the
freshman class of State college last
Saturday afternoon at State field by
a score of q to 0. The high school
team worked smoothly and held the
loosely organized college fellows al
their mercy throughout the game.
From this early exhibition of the work
of the high school team, the fans are
very hopeful that Bookings will take
the state championship this year. The
game next Saturday with Marshall,
Mimi, to be played here will attract
considerable interest. Ryger showed
up well Saturday, skirting the ends
for good gains many times, always
working with speed and apparent ease.
Capt. Sundet was always good for sew
eral yards plunging right through the
line. No complicated or difficult plays
were attempted and forward passing
was not frequent. One successful pass
was made out of seven trials.

FOR HIGHER SALARIES

Attorney Philo Hall attended a meet
ing of a special committee of the
South Dakota Bar association at Huron
last Monday at which time plans were
perfected to present an amendment
to the state constitution giving the
than they 10 receive. Other mem
bers of the committee were c. c. Cald-
well of Sioux Falls, former attorney
general, S. w. Clark of Redfeld, and
Herbert Hitchcock of Mitchell.
1t was decided to open Offices in
Huron for the purpose Of organizing
the state in this important matter, and
Judge Dick Haney was added to the
committee, and made secretary of the
work. Work will be commenced at
once to get the matter before the
voters of the state.
The question of salaries for state
officers has long been discussed, but
nothing definite was done about the
matter until the last meeting of the
South Dakote Bar association took up
the matter and went on record as be-
ing in favor of a raise in the salaries
of the elective officers of the state.
The salaries paid are said to be ri
diculously low for the work, in many
instances the money paid being insult
icient to meet living expenses. The
state salaries have never been raised,
despite the fact that the cost of liv-
ing has increased.
The plan proposed by the members
OF the bar association would place an
amendment before the people, enab-
ling the Legislature to raise the sal
aries of all state officers by a two
thirds vote. This would do away with
any hasty action. While the salaries
are to be increased, the plan also
does away with the practice of giving
additional emoluments except ordi-
nary expenses entailed by the officers.
The present plan of giving house rent
and numerous other extras il thought
to be bad by the members of the bar.
Many men Of ability are now I'M
able to accept state office because Of
the low salaries paid, and the new
amendment would remedy this condi-
ton.

partment of State college, was unani-
mously reelected president Of the
South Dakota Holstein Breeders asso-
citation for a term of three years, at
their meeting at Watertown Monday
at which time they held their annual
auction sale. Professor Larsen said
that while the bids were lower than
the prices brought at previous sales
of the association, the sale was salts
factory to the breeders and with the

a bull owned by Tom Maher of Brook
ings. The animal was purchased by
Theron Converse of Arlington. Sew

ing, 5 defective vision, / enlarged
glands and / malformation of the soft
palate. Both these last mentioned
cases are now under observation or

important feature of the work car

the month. Many other schools are
to be visited in October.

STATE W|Ne5Y
NARPk MARGIN
NORTHERN NORMAL DEFEATED
AT ABERDEEN SATUR-
DAY 6 TO c
TOUCHDOWN MADE IN FIRST PERIOD
First Game Of the Season Was
Valuable Practice For the
Whole Squad.

State college defeated the Northern
Normal and Industrial school eleven
at Aberdeen last Saturday by a score
Of 6 to 0 in the first game of the
season for either of the teams. The
game at Aberdeen was valuable prac-
tice for Coach Vests men. He took
two teams on the trip and used every
man. He also used every play with
which the men were familiar. Cap
tain Jim Salisbury did not appear in
the lineup on account of injuries re-
ceived in scrimmage.
States offensive was ragged. The
line had not learned to work together
and the backtield showed lack of abil-
ity to pick holes and was slow in
getting started. States ground gain
ing was done mostly by Roberts, right
half, but his work was somewhat neu-
tralized by two fumbles. Funk, quar-
ter, displayed good headwork, and if
the line had held he would un
doubtedly have tailed a couple of goal
kicks. Thompson and Tommerasen
showed up well as ends.
The tally was made by a series of
line ~plunges started from the fifty
yard line and came after seven min
utes of play. Roberts, right half, car
ried the ball in the play which won
the set-to.
The Normal was on the defensive
g,D,, ;-;t,n1 1y;n1~ @cc onl ,-:tL H.
exception of a few line plunges in
the first few minutes of play and
successful attempts at forward pass
ing in the last five minutes, it did
not attempt an offensive against the
weighty State college team.
The State play was centered around
Roberts and Willadsen, who were the
chief ground gamers. Bachman and
Lee both did well at guards.
Although the Normal was pushed
back several times into dangerous ter
ritory, Wertman's kicking saved the
team. His punts were all well over
40 yards and he figured in saving the
Normal crew from a much worse
drubbing.
Oficials-Brennan, Iowa State, ref
cree; Barker, Ames, umpire; Dali
thorp, State college, head linesman:
Corners, ~timekeeper.
State is expecting a hard game with
Dakota Wesleyan university next Sat
urday at Mitchell. The Normal game
made evident the fact that a few
changes in the lineup are necessary,
which will probably slow up the prog
ress Of the team.
After having seen Dakota Wesleyan
university's team defeat Sioux Falls
college by a decisive score last Mon
day, Coach C. A. West is convinced
that his State college team will have
a real battle next Saturday afternoon
when the Aggies meet the Methodists
at Mitchell.
State and Wesleyan are apparently
evenly matched in weight and each
team has about the same number of
veterans from last year; if anything
Wesleyan has more than State.
The Wesleyan team on Monday, in
spite of the version of some of the
sport writer's who witnessed the game,
Coach West believes showed consid-
cradle snap and precision in the Of
fensive play.

Maryland Fiasco
BiOiU TO Johnson
Californian PolIed Less
Thar, Nine Per Cent of
Normal Republican Vote

From The Trib:snes Washington, Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The vote in
Maryland today Is the btterest dlsap-
pointment the Hiram johnson workers
have yet encountered in the Presiden-
tial primaries. Not only were they
confident that Johnson would carry
the state, but they expected a big
vote. In Baltimore City only about
one-fourth of the Republican voters
turned out at all. and these voted
nearly two to one for Leonard Wood
Apparently the mass of German Re-
publicans in Baltimore simply did not
go to the polls at all. OF normal
Republican vote in the city of about
Sc, 900 the total vote was less than 49,
900, and Johnson polled less than
per cent of the normal Republican
strength.
Johnson supporters here are dis
turbed over the effect Johnson's poor
showing in Maryland is going to have
on the band wagon" vote in Indiana
tomorrow. Johnson's triumphant pro
cession has been checked II no longer
will be possible for his advocates to
declare that he has shown tremendous
strength in every primary he has en-
tered.
The Wood people are very complacens
