FORD STOLEN ON BUSY CORNER

In broad daylight about TO- 80 o'clock
Saturday morning IN the busiest cor
ner in town near the Corner grocery
some n stole a Ford car belonging
to Tom Maher, president of the Brook
ings County Farm Bureau and a prom
inent farmer residing near this city.
Mr.. Maher at first thought some of his
friends or members of his family had
taken the car to go on some errand,
but it failed to show up. Sheriff Nolan
was notified and a search was made
but every effort to locate the car SO
far have failed. The stolen automobile
was a Ford touring car several years
old but in good running order. Why
the thief chose this homely old fivver
and left untouched all the nice looking
cars that stood nearby, Mr.. Maher does
not understand.

TOURNAMENT NEARS END

The golf tournament which has &C.
cupied the limelight in the activities
of the Brookings Country Club during
the last two weeks is now rapidly
drawing to a close and the final
matches are expected to be played off
this week. Only high handicap men
survive, the experienced players and

Severson against the winner of the
Schaphorst-Purdy match, which was
scheduled to be played off last night.

played, or twice around the links. The
lowest score made so far during the

back, who achieved the eighteen holes
in sc strokes, a record which will prob
ably stand for some time. In the

HOGHOUSE DRAMA
HAS SAD ENDING
AUDITOR REFUSES TO PAY 5000
TO EACH MEMBER OF THE
LEGISLATURE
MARKETING DEPARTMENT N A TANGLE
Don Livingston Will Stay on Job
Until New Agricultural De-
partment Functions.

A sequel to the "hoghouse drama"
enacted last winter at the closing ses-
sion of the state legislature, when an
appropriation to build a hoghouse az
State college was doctored up into an
appropriation for paying each of the
legislators 5000 expense money, has
turned the drama into deep tragedy.
The state auditor has refused to recog-
nize the vouchers filed by the mem
bers of the legislature for this 5000.
1t is said he bases his refusal to pay
out this money for the reason that the
action was unconstitutional and he
does not want to take the RESPONSE
bility of paying out the states money
until it has the sanction of the attor-
ney general and the supreme court.
There is another tangle at Pierre
over the establishment Of the new ag-
ricultural department which was sup
posed to displace the old marketing
department. The new agricultural de-
partment according to a law passed
last winter was to come into exist
ence July l, and the old was 70 pass
out Of existence. Governor McMaster
has not yet made the necessary APP
pointments to put the new department
into commission, so Don Livingston,
director of the department of market
ing, is still maintaining the old de-
partment until the new one shall start
functioning. The auditor, however,
refuse to recognize his vouchers for
all Of the funds belonging to the old
marketing department were turned
over to the new agricultural depart
ment on July 1, according to a provi-
sion in the law. All this tangle is to
be Strengthened out by Governor Nc
Master when he returns from his trip
east investigating the feasibility Of a
deep water route from the Great Lakes
to the Atlantic through the st. Law
renee river.

STRUCK BY

Lightning struck the home of Frank
Duff on Third street in the east part
of the city last Sunday evening about
1870 o'clock, tearing down the chimney
and putting the electric lights out of
commission. No n was injured and
10 great damage beyond that mention
ed was done. Practically every person
in the city saw and heard the great
fash and the terrific crack of thunder
when the lightning struck, and while
many knew that 1t struck close by they
were not aware that it had actually
struck a home within the city. 1t was
fortunate that the lightning bolt did
not set fire to the Duff home and still
more fortunate that no one was in
jured.

BROKEN
BY COLLEGE COW
COLLEGE BELLE WAYNE 2NO
PRODUCES LAS POUNDS
OF BUTTER
MAKES MARK At TEN YEARS Of AGE
Only Cow in South Dakota That
Produces Half Ton of
Butter Yearly.

The first COW in South Dakota 10
produce more than 1000 pounds of but
ter in a years test is College Belle
Wayne End, one Of the leaders Of the
State college Holstein herd and daugh-
ter of College Belle Wayne, who al
one time held the worlds 30-day milk
production record.
The years record of College Belle
Wayne 2nd, completed January IS,
1921, which has just recently been GER
titled, showed a production of 27,S96.l
pounds of milk and 1,145.7 pounds of
500 butter. This makes her not only
the state champion in the long dis
lance division, but also the only 1000
pound COW in South Dakota. Her
mother, College Belle Wayne, now Is
years old, still holds the state record
for milk production of all breeds in
the 7-day and 30-day divisions.
College Belle Wayne I'd, who is now
10 years old, was given her first test
as a 2-year-old. At that immature age
and under herd conditions, being
cared for and MIXED by the herdsman
.who had all the other cows to feed
and milk, she produced 16,260.7 pounds
of milk and 654.77 pounds of 500 but
ter in 1865 days. This is not a phe-
nomenal record, but it is very credit
able in view of the fact that no special
attention was accorded her IN the way
of catering to her appetite or comfort.
Beginning her second yearly record
at 6 years, s months and Z days, under
the same conditions as her previous
record was made, she produced 19,924.7
pounds of milk and 500 pounds of but
ter. To demonstrate beyond any ques.
ton of a doubt her ability to come
back" and that her ability to produce
was no accident, she started her third
yearly test at 8 years, Is days of age.
Not satisfied with being only a long
distance producer, she was given a
7-day test, producing in hat time $780,
pounds Of milk and 29.8 pounds of but
ter. Had the test been started on the
! seventh day after freshening she would
have cleared the 30-pound butter mark
with ease, according to those in charge
of the college dairy herd.

MAKE EFFORT To
RESURRECT FAIR
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL SEE
WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR
COUNTY FAIR
SEM|.ANNUAL ELECTION Of DIRECTORS
Turn Down Request of Legion Post
For Help in Bringing Big
Convention Here.

That Brookings is getting a To- s
poor advertising through the fail 81
the county fair financially 10 IS ear
and that some effort should cS'nade
to resurrect the fair and clea up Old
obligations was the substance of the
remarks made by H.. j.. Boyts, county
agricultural agent, at the ~semi-annual
meeting of the Brookings Commercial
Club last Friday evening. The senti-
ment over the county places the skele-
ton at the door of Brookings city, re.
CARELESS of the fact that the fair asso-
citation is made up of prominent men
from about the county from various
walks of life. The county fair last
year failed to come out ahead finan
cially and the fair association lacked
funds to pay all af the premiums that
were awarded. A committee consist
ing of S. j. Rudolph, chairman, G. j.
Flittie and H. J. Boyts was appointed
to ascertain the present status of the
county fair and to report at the next
IlctJlllS VI llS CluD Will ou5SNSIlOID
as to how the club may help in putting
the fair on its feet. Mr.. Boyts stated
that the Farm Bureau was anxious to
cooperate in promoting a good county
fair for Brookings county, believing
it to be a valuable feature in encour-
aging better farming and livestock
raising, and in other ways helpful TO
agriculture.
in the semi-annual election of men,
bers of the board of directors the fol
lowing six men were elected: A. F.
Grimm, G. j. Flittie, H. j. Boyts, E. II.
Beatty, E. r. Bartling and Geo. p. Sex
auer. These board members serve for
a term of one year and join the other
six who were chosen six months ago,
making a board of twelve members.
The board elected the following Off
GERS for the next six months period:
G.. J. Flittie, president; Geo. p. Sex
auer, vice-president; and John Alton
reelected secretary.
Post Commander o. II. Lawrence of
the American Legion, with a commit
tee of legion men appeared before the
meeting of the club to ask the club
for financial cooperation in bringing
the 1922 convention of the South Da,
kota American Legion to Brookings,
the largest convention of any kind that
is held in the state. The club, how
ever, felt hat they could not afford it
and refused the legion their request.
The American Legion convention is
being held at Rapid City this year, and
Huron and Brookings are the strongest
bidders for the gathering next year
Huron has the advantage at present,
having the support of the Huron Com
mercial Club, the Rotary Club and the
Kiwanis Club.

r SAVE MONEY

Miss May Kiethline, assistant club
leader of the State college extension
division notices a material increase in
the membership of the various sewing
clubs for South Dakota girls and a de-
crease in the canning club member
ships. THE increased interest in sew.
ing is explained in part by the con-
tinued high cost Of wearing apparel and
the most noticeable opportunity for
saving money and at the same time
securing better garments through the
home dressmaking,' says Miss Keith
line. Many girls are still enrolling IN
the canning clubs, but many others who
have taken this work and are proficient
in it and are doing all the home can
ming now hold membership in the sew
ing clubs.
Members of these sewing clubs are
making a clothing budget, first taking
an inventory of the clothes on hand
so as to find out which garments are
still disable and then estimating their
needs for the year. Some Of these club
members are given a clothing allow
ance and are buying their W things,
This teaches them economy and also
results in better dress. Style. color
and occasion are all taken into con
sideration.
THE girls who are enrolled in the
bread clubs are also doing a splendid
work. They learn how to make all
kinds of quick and yeast breads and
in addition are taking up cake baking
which adds much to the interest in
the work.

COLLEGE BEAUTIES IN PRINT

A whole page of photographs OF the
fairest co-eds at State college, ap-
peared in the rotogravure section or

and a record breaking attendance OF
eligible young men is expected at the
college next fall as a result. One
young lady whose picture appears on
the page has already received a letter
from a lonely young man in the west
ern part Of the state who announces
his p tive intention of coming to
Bro, IS to school next fall, so it
is trent that the page has already
, Star reaching effects. The gen.
- opinion is that the pictures do
Ut do the girls full justice, but per-
haps it is just as well for if the pic
lures were as pretty as the girls
really are, all incoming trains to
Brooklngs would be packed with
bachelors and young men until our
fair city would resemble a riot scene
The following young women were
honored by the Tribune: Edna Riley,
Wilma Knutson, Venie Orhrans, Helen
Peddicord, Hermine Mathews, Byrne
