FINDS INTERESTING RELIC

N. T. Nelson has an interesting re-
minder of the bygone days which he
found among the papers of his father
in-law, the late Magnus Nestus, who
homesteaded a farm south Of Brook
ings just over the Moody county line.
1t is a tax receipt for the first years
taxes which he paid upon that quarter
section farm. The receipt is dated
October II, 1876, and is made out
for $2.99, the total territorial taxes for
the year 1875 on the 100 acres of
land which was valued at $40, and
personal property valued at $214. The
school poll was s1.00, the remaining
$1.99 being the taxes on the real and
personal property. The tax on the
land alone on that basis was about
20 cents. That was about fifty years
ago. The tax on this same piece OF
land this year, not including personal
property was $186. The assessed land
value at the present time Is $104.9s
per acr which Is a lot different from
$50 per quarter section.

HOLD PIERRE TO scoRELEss TIE

Stepping on the train at Pierre last
Friday afternoon with no thought of
playing football until the next day,
the Brookings high school team was
dumbfounded when they were rushed
right out to the gridiron and found
the crowd and the Pierre high school
team waiting for them to commence
play. Through a misunderstanding
Pierre had scheduled the game for
Friday while Brookings had the I'M
preston 1t was to be played on Sat
urday. The local team in spite of
the handicap got into their suits and
did thei best. The game lacked pep.
however, and neither team were able
to make a single score. Pierre made
most Of their gains on end runs, while
Bookings used off tackle plays and
line smashes to advantage. The ball
was carried close to the goal several
times but the punch to put 1t over
was lacking. When the final whistle
blew Brookings had the ball on
Pierre's 10-yard line. Punting was re.
sorted to frequently but neither team
showed any advantage. There was a
good attendance at the game, among
the rooters were several former Brook.
ings residents. Mr.. and Mrs. ]. +.
Brooke, M. G. Carlisle, Palmer John
son and H. H. Pickett. The local team
stayed over night in Pierre and left
for home Saturday afternoon. During
their stay they visited the capitol and
took In all the sights the city offered.
They report especially cordial treat
ment from Mr.. and Mrs. Brooke.
The high school team has scheduled
a game with De Smet tomorrow to be
played there. De Smet has a strong
team and the outcome of the game will
be watched with interest.

NARROW E'cAPE FOR r. BAKER

Monday a Fred Baker of this city
was clip % to an overturned boat out
in dee. ,er in Lake Whitewood near
Lake ston, while a heavy wind was
bic y, him farther out from land
9 8 ne icy cold water was rapidly
- bling his muscles. No help was in
: sht and his voice was hoarse from
.epeated calls for help which did not
carry far On account of the wind. The
water was so rough and he was so far
out that his predicament was not no.
ticeable TO the casual passerby. His
hope for escape from drowning vas
not bright. In the nick of time, how
ever, H. B. Lombard appeared on the
scene and fastened t o his rescue. Mr..
Lombard pulled him out of the water
and placed him in his boat and padded
for shore where he was wrapped in
blankets and rushed to Lake Preston.
Mr.. Baker was nearly exhausted from
the eXertion and the cold.
Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Lombard set out
from ~Brookings Monday morning on a
hunting trip to the lake. Mr.. Baker
took a boat and went out on the lake
alone while Mr.. Lombard went around
the shore Of the lake to hunt up some
better oars. The boat was not very
sea worthy and the high waves went
over the gunwale filling the craft with
water. AS the boat sank it over
turned. Mr.. Baker grasped the painter
and chung to it. He tried to paddle
toward shore which was about sixty
rods away but the wind and the waves
made progress slow. The water was
about seven feet deep. After he had
been in the water about 20 minutes
or half an hour his companion, Mr..
Lombard, returned and fastened to
his assistance. A. G. Fricke with a
party Of hunters noticed Mr.. Bakers
predicament about the same time and
they assisted Mr.. Lombard in taking
care OF him and bringing him to Lake
Preston. After Mr.. Baker had warmed
himself up thoroughly he felt perfectly
all right and seems to have suffered
no serious results from his narrowing
experience.

DAkATO u WIN

Early Ohios entered by the South
Dakota Potato Growers Cooperative
exchange took sweepstakes at the re-
cent Kansas City Potato show in the
open class competing with potatoes
from nearly every potato growing Sec
ton in the United Staes. Prof. Rich
ard E. Vaughn of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural college judged the exhibits in
the open class and J.. M. Fox of the
South Dakota Potato Growers ex
change judged the Kansas exhibits.
The South Dakota potatoes that
were shown at Kansas City were Sc
1ected from fields where growers had
been certifying for a number of years
and had succeeded in producing tubers
that were practically free from dis
ease, uniform in size and true to type.
The object of showing at the Kansas
City show was to acQuaint Kansas po-
tato growers of the fact that, with
the proper seed treatment for disease
control with a proper soil cultivation
and by the use of insecticides and
fungicides, South Dakota can produce
the kind Of seed that Kansas growers
want for planting.
A prominent Kansas potato grower
from Topeka, who has been buying
the seed for the whole Kaw valley,
expressed his appreciation of the fact
that South Dakota is improving the
grade and quality of her potatoes by
disease control and proper selection
of seed. A resolution was passed rec.
ommending that the Kaw Valley Pota-
to Growers association send a repre-
sentative to South Dakota to buy some
seed for the coming season.

FARMERS ASK TO DISARM

The county farm bureaus and the
South Dakota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton are now securing signatures to
a petition addressed to President Hard
ing urging the United States to lead
in disarmament and to use its eco
nomic power to compel other nations
TO disarm that permanent world-peace
may be established. These petitions
will become a part of about 1000, 900
which the American Farm Bureau
Federation hopes to hand the presi.
dent early mex week.
This is the most important event
for agriculture since the signing of
the armistice, according to a statement
Nothing would do so much to bring
about a settled and balanced world
condition and to establish markets for
our foods and clothing, as to do away
with the terrific expense of militarism,'
he says.
Mr.. Benedict says further that a
glance at the national budget for the
year ending June 80, 1920, shows the
need for action along this line. The
total budget was 1855. 005. 705.97. OF
this, more than 81 per cent was for
expenditures arising from recent and
previous wars. Only a trife more than
one per cent was for research and edu.
cation. The average family contrib.
utes annually toward preparations for
future was $3.50. and q still larger
payment on debts contracted for past

JACkRABBITS WIN

Watertown got a taste Of the lively
life of a college town last Saturday
when rooters from State college and
Iankton invaded the quiet peaceful
ness of that city to attend the foot
ball game between the G~reyhoundS
and the Jackrabbits. The football
game was pretty one-sided, State win
ming over Montgomery's team by a
score Of SIS to 0. Practically the en-
tire student body of State college and
of Bookings Travelled to Waterfowl
Saturday morning to take in h game.
The special train carried the most Of
them, automobiles furnished transport
alton to the others. The train stopped
at the stations On the way up while
the famous girls band Of State college
gave short concerts to the natives by
way of advertising the Hobo day cele.
bration in Brookings Saturday. Upon
the arrival Of the special train in Wa
tertown a State college parade was
started from the Northwestern sta
ton, led by the girls band followed
by the students in two long columns.
Every student wore an armband of
blue with state" in yellow letters
upon it. Bringing up the e a came
the State college military band. The
parade made a great impression upon
the WATERFOWL people and many COM
~plimentary things were said about the
two bands and the State college spirit.
An interesting fact was that after the
college yells and cheering had been
completed at the close OF the parade,
and the band struck up the yellow
and Blue" the spectators removed
the most loyal S. d. S. c. alumni.
The weather was clear but quite
cold from the spectators viewpoint.
Captain Towers of State won the toss
and chose to defend the west goal.
Yankton kicked off and within Ave
minutes Coach Vests proteges had
carried the pigskin over the line for
the first score. Thune, Schultz,
Roberts and WEIGH went through the
Yankton defense for big gains on
every play, five, ten and twenty yards
at a clip. Welch made the second
touchdown by scooping up Yankton's
tumble on their thirty-yard line and
racing through the field for a counter.
This was the most spectacular play
of the game. Sundet was kicked In
the face during the first period and
was substituted by Carey. Sundet's
injury Is not serious.
Two touchdowns were made in each
quarter of the game. At no time did
Yankton threaten States goal, nor
could they make effective resistance
to the J%ackrabbits' onslaught. In the
second half Coach West made numer-
Gus s~ubstitutions, but the steady
march to the goal was kept up. To-
wards the last of the game, some of
the third string men were used, and
ven they got the best of the Grey
hounds.
Coach Vests team vas working the
smoothest it has worked all season.
Interference was perfect, forward pass
ing a finished art, splendid organiza-
ton on both offense and defense.
Yankton's leading star was Serr, the
Greyhound captain and fullback, who
with McKeen, Yankton's powerful cen
ter, bore the brunt OF the State college
attack. Probably no two players on
the field that day played any harder
than did these two men from Yankton.

QUICK TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
According to Woodsmen, the Wolf Is Capable of Displaying Saeaeity
 That Is Wonderful.

A correspondent having written a letter to the Star expressing doubt as to the truth of the story that wolves, having chased man up a tree, went away and brought back a beaver to cut down the tree for them so they could get the man, we have been much impressed by the number of witnesses. especially Old-timers in New Ontario. who are sending us let ters tending to add authenticity to the story.
 Wild animals, these witnesses de- clare. are strong in instinct, and work out problems instantly which one would suppose could only be done by arithmetic. Tn one letter the writer. who lives in the Cochrane district, gives his theory as to the manner in which the wolves got the beaver to the tree. According to the story. a dozen wolves went of on this errand This number was in order that they might kill deer, and use its hide as a toboggan on which 10 haul the beav- CT to the spot and take hlm back again after he had felled the tree for them. This theory must be accepted as in- genious and eresting.--Kansas City Star.

Animals That Ely.

Among the many odd animals per haps the oldest are the flying animals. There Is the flyingfox or fruit-eating bat In the moonlight stiffness of the forest flying opossums may be seen gliding through the air. The flying mouse, able to sleep in good-sized matchbox, is decidedly Australian. It would be very interesting for all the children of other countries to see these strange creatures. Australia is peculiar also by reason of the ani- mals which are conspicuous by their absence. There are in Australia no apes, no oxen, no antelopes, no deer, no elephants, no pigs. no cats, wolves or bears-none of the animals chill dren in other parts of the world are fond of talking about.
