MARKETING PLAN
NEW FARMERS SALES AGENCY is
OUTLINED AT MEETING AT
SIOUX FALLS
ii. TVEOT IS LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE
Surs the Farmer on the Inside Of tbs
Grain Marketing System
Is the Claim.

The proposed National Sales Agency
recommended by the committee of
II for the national marketing Of grain
does not scrap the existing system of
farmers cooperative elevators, but
makes them an integral part of the
grain marketing plan. This assurance
was given to South Dakota cO-Opera-
tive grain marketing bodies represent
ed at Sioux Falls yesterday in the
state meeting addressed by Clifford
Thorne, y. l.. Middleton and Don Liv-
ingston, members of the committee
of II, by whom the whole plan of a
National Sales Agency was explained
in detail. T. l.. Tvedt of Bangor town
ship represented the B~rookings Coun-
ty Farm Bureau at the meeting. Five
advantages of the plan proposed by
the committee of II were presented,
as follows:
1t will be necessary to ecure con-
tracts covering a large percentage of
the grain of the United States before
the sales association can begin to OPP
crate.
The success Of the plan is not de-
pendent on special or class legislation.
Grain can be handled at first with
almost no change in present methods.
While the greatest results will not
come until later, when a large por-
ton of the grain is under the direction
Of the National Sales Agency, the i'm
emulate benefits will be great. Farm
ers will be on the inside Of the grain
marketing system, instead of outside.
They will be able to make their in
fuence felt at once in minimizing and
finally eliminating the unfair prac-
tees which work S o greatly to their
disadvantage. By directing grain
movement over the shortest and cheap
est routes a tremendous saving IN
freight and other handling charges can
be made.
A way is provided for the develop
ment of grain pooling as rapidly as
this is found TO be desirable, without
stalking the success of the movement
on a rigid pooling plan without other
alternatives. Financial difficulties are
guarded against by the provision for
a strongly financed farmerowned fl
nance corporation.
The trouble with the present sys-
ten of marketing according to the
committee is the fact that the farmer
is not a factor. He is not considered
except as a source Of supply Of the
raw material. When the farmer dumps
his grain into the pit at the home Gle
vator, he gets all he will ever receive
for it. Whether the market is strong
or glutted the farmer is done and out
of the game. To hold back this glut
or peak load in an orderly manner or
to provide means of storing and financ-

BROOkINGS CORN TO CHINA

A carload of corn. or maybe two or
three carloads, marked with a large
banner porclaiming to the world that
the corr gift came from the great
Brookings county of South Dakota
will be sent from BrOokings to China
for the relief of the starving people
of that country. The corn will be
shipped to China under the direction
of Herbert Hoover and will be shipped
free OF charge, railroad and steamship
lines contributing the service free.
The Farmers Cooperative Associa-
ton of Brookings has kindly consented
to receive all the corn the people
of Brookings and vicinity may desire
to bring and Mayor T. |. Flittie, as
chairman for Brookings and vicinity,
asks that all those who have corn to
contribute to this noble cause, should
deliver the corn at the Farmers Co
operative Association in Bookings not
later than March 20.
Mr.. Flittie states: 1T may not be
convenient for some of our people
either in town or in the country to
bring in the corn and under those con
ditions, we will gladly receive the cash
with which to purchase the corn. The
Farmers Cooperative Association of
Brookings have very generously agreed
to sell to the local committee, what
ever corr may be required for the ship
ment to China at the same price that
they pay the farmers for this corn and
have also generously agreed to load the
corn on the cars without any charge.
1--WE know that most people are hav-
ing difficulty in making both ends meet
at this time and for this reason, we
are not making this appeal to people
who are having difficulty in making
their living, but only to those people
who have been more generously
blessed with property. A number
of men in Bookings have indicated
their willingness to contribute $4,000
each to be used for this purpose, Of
corn to be shipped to China and there
should be a dozen men in Brookings
who should be willing to do this, and
a good many more men should be
willing to give smaller amounts. If
those wishing to make contributions
desire to make a cash contribution,
they may leave a check for same at
either n of the banks in Brookings.
and which should be left at these va
rious places not later than March
29th."

PLAN COUNTY FIELD DAY

Some Saturday in May, probably
the 14th. there is to be a field day fO-
the grade school children Of the coun-
ty under the auspices of the Y. w.
c.. A., Red Cross, and county superin-
tendent of schools. some time ago
directions for a spelling contest were
sem out by the county superintendent
and in many places p~reliminaries have
been held leading up to the finals
which will be held on that day. More
recently directions for simple athletic
contests for each girls and boys were
sent out. For the boys there are run
ming high jumps, standing broad
jump, 60 and 100 yard dashes, three
legged races, sack race. and shuttle
race. For the girls there are potato
aces shuttle race, ~three-legged race,
and so yard dash. 1t is hoped that
each school will make an entry In
several of the events, for which entry
blanks will be sem out in April.
Arrangements are being made so
that the winning baseball team from
the west part of the county will play
the winning team from the east part,
the dividing line just east Of Brook
ings. A pageant will also be a part
of the days entertainment and fun.
Schools are asked to come in a body
with their parents and carry a ban
ner bearing the name Of their school.
AS activities will begin before noon
each group should bring lunch for a
picnic dinner. The college has kindly
offered the use of their athletic field
for the days and the college athletic
directors will take charge Of the ath-
letic events. 1t is hoped that parents
and teachers will make possible the
attendance Of their schools. Many
remember a similar event about six
years ago which was very successful
and It is hoped that this n will rival
them both in attendance and worth.

TRACK PROSPECTS LOOK GOOD

With a far more likely looking array
Of material for the track and field
season of 1921 than available last
year. Coach West Of State college. has
commenced outdoor training for this
major sport Of the season. Over thirty
and nearly that many more are ex.
pected to turn in the next few weeks.
Captain Jimmy Stout, Salisbury, Nc
Cain, Welty, Gilbert, Sculley and
Blocker are the last years stars who
are on the squad this year. Among
the most promising of the new can
didates are Griffith, Martin and Mont
gomery.
Captain Stout, who won individual
honors at the state intercollegiate
e at Vermillion last spring, has
developed still more and promises to
be n of the outstanding track stars
of the state. He is sure to bring
first in the pole vault. high and broad
jumps. Doc Mccain is in fine fettle
this spring and shows such a great
Improvement owe last year that fans
feel sure he will lead the field in the
dashes and hurdles. Salisbury is max
ing good distances regularly in prac-
tice with the discus and j~avelin. New
equipment has arrived for the entire
squad, which will aid materially in
the training. The ideal weather so
early in the season has made the pros
poets bright for a great track sea.
son. State has three meets scheduled,
and there are negotiations under way
for a tri-state collegiate meet to be
held in Brookings similar to the tri-
state meets that were held several
years ago at Huron. The dual meet
with the University of South Dakota
will be held at Vermillion this year
on May 10. Not a great deal has been
heard from Vermillion camp. but they
leave the impression that they will
have a faster team this year than they
did last year.

COLLEGE PROPS TAKE OATH

In the presence of members of the
local posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic, Women's Relief Corps,
American Legion and Women's Auxil-
larry, the entire faculty Of the State
college voluntarily took the oath OF
allegiance prescribed by the recent
session of the state Legislature for all
teachers in the public schools, at a
special convocation last Thursday.
Members of the faculties of the high
er educational institutions of the state
are exempt from the provisions of the
law, but the State college instructors
welcomed the opportunity of once
more expressing their loyalty TO coun-
Twenty or more of the faculty mem
bers taking the oath have seer service
in the army or navy of the United
States in the recent World war.
j. II. Mccoy, presiding justice of the
supreme court of the state, admin
tered the oath. In his address, follow
ing the administration Of the oath OF
allegiance, Justice Mccoy said in part
The voluntary taking Of the oath
of allegiance by the officers and teach
ers of a great institution in a grc1t
state like this is certainly most com
mendable. In a broad sense every
teacher is in the service of the United
States, is in the service of Uncle Sam.
just as much SO as the enlisted soldier
in the regular army service who Ia
taken his oath Of allegiance.
This loyal service of the teachcr
may result in less actual service for
the armed soldier. During the last
h~alf-dozen years we have witnessed in
other parts of the world what misdi
rected education for evil and selfish
purposes may cause to a nation OF
otherwise good people.
ut stands this nation in hand 10
see to 1t that our people, that our
youth, are not so misdirected. The
taking of the oath of allegiance to our
beloved United States government is
a step in the right direction. You
thereby cOnsecrate yourselves to the
welfare of your government. 1t means
better and higher ideals in American
ISM"

HIGHWAY OFFICE VACANT

A law passed by the last legislature
made the term of office of all county
highway superintendent expire on
March /, or as soOn thereafter as the
board of commissioners hold a repu-
lar meeting. Last Saturday the board
or commissioners were in regular Sos
sion and refused the application for
r"-appOintment offered by A. j. Willis.
who has been highway superintendent
since July Is, 1919. The office was
thereby made vacant and Mr.. Willis
closed up his affairs and moved out.
Saturday evening. The action was
rather sudden and Mr.. Willis is not
able to state what his plans are for the
future but expects 10 have sometime
definite in a short time for there is
a crying demand over the country for
experienced highway engineers.
The commissioners made no appoint
ment to fill the vacancy in the office
but expect to do so at their next
meeting on April 5. a county high
way superintendent is absolutely nee
essary according to law for not a sin
gle cent Of the county's money can
be expended upon roads or bridges
without the approval of the county
highway superintendent. The roads
Of Brookings county must then as a
matter Of course be entirely neglected
until the commissioners appoint a man
to fill the office Of county highway
superintendent.

JUNGLE SNAKE G0BBLES
DOWN HENS AND EGGS
BUT ALL ARE RESCUED
lBy International News servicel

(By international News Service)
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-A snake
story without the background of home
brew is related by the Rev. Mr. Edwin
II. Richards, for thirty-one years
missionary to Africa under the Board
Of Foreign Missions of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who made his re-.
port at the headquarters Of that or,
ganization recently. A python fifteen
leet long came out Of the jungle one
night and raided the hen house of
the mission, at which some mission.
aires had gathered The hens roosts
were in an enclosure on the top of u
bin Of horizontal logs, to protect them
from the smaller animals of the bush.
The big snake wound his body in and
out among the logs and got his head
among the fowls. He swallowed seven
large chickens, setting hen and nine
eggs.
The noise made by the other fowls
woke two native girls, students in the
mission school who slept in a dor
mitory nearby. Ghey armed themsel-
YES with an axe and went out to in
yestigate, finding the python still
wound among the logs and drowsy
after his meal with the axe they
chopped him IN Two. and their shouts
tor help brought a half dozen Metho-
dist preachers in pajamas and slippers
with lanterns and shotguns. The py-
thon was pronounced dead and the
natives who gathered from the kraal
outside the mission compound begged
permission to salvage the chickens.
The fowls were found almost whole
and were borne OFF in triumph by the
natives. The eggs, too. were not brok-
en- and were put under another set
ting hen and were hatched into per-
fectly normal missionary chickens.
Mr.. Richards gives the names Of the
Bishop Of Africa and several other
missionaries who are corroborating
witnesses to his story.
He says the python is stronger than
tiger or "a lion. but q goriala can
vanquich any VI them.

Of DEAD
IS KEPT BY HEROES
TO COMPEL RESPECT
American Legion Stands Guard
To Compel Burial of Their
Comrades on Sunday.
(By International News service)

(By International News Service)
II CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 24.-"The
bivouac of the dead" has become a
reality in Canton and promises to re-
main for some time. unless Westlawn
Cemetery Association trustees relent
from their order that no more burials
will be made there on Sunday.
The Canton Post of the American
Legion has become embroiled in a
contest with the cemetery officials and
is carrying the matter to the attention
of State and National officers.
Bodies of Canton soldiers, killed or
dying from injury and disease over
seas, are beginning to arrive with ire
quent regularity, and the local post OF
the legion sees to 1t that each has a
military funeral as a final tribute to
the supreme sacrifice. These funerals
have always been held on Sundays,
because more of the eX-soldiers can
turn out on that day, and the funerals
are always bigger. The cemetery or
der hit the legion hard; but the old
army resourcefulness came into play
They held the funeral for Corporal
Walter Griffith, killed at the Marne,
and it was a large one. Full cere-
monies took place at the spot where
the grave was to be, then the casket
was lowered to the ground, and an
armed guard was tolled off. Reliefs
were formed, and two sentinels stock
erect, keeping vigil through the night
and on Monday morning until ceme-
terry sections came to dig the grave
and lower the coffin into it.
This "bivouac Of the dead will be
the policy of the legion until the ceme-
:
terry trustees relent.
