SEEK RELIEF FOR IRELAND

c. B. Ahearn of Brookings, has been
appointed chairman of the American
Committee for Relief in Ireland in
BroOkings county to help raise the
$4,000 asked from the state of South
Dakota. T. p. Fleming Of Huron, is
chairman of the committee for South
Dakota. The committee is nOn-politi-
cal, nOn-sectarian and purely humani-
tartan in character. It's work has re-
ceived the endorsement of President
Harding, the vice-president, and the
governors Of twenty states.
Thirty thousand people in the Bel.
fast district Of Ireland are entirely
destitute and more than one hundred
and sixty families without roofs over
their heads as a result Of the ravages
of the war that has been waged in
Ireland for the past two years. &C.
cording to a report recently received
by national headquarters in New York
of the American Committee for Relief
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien, chairman
OF the committee, states that from the
reports received from G.. J. France, di.
rector of the American Committees
Relief Unit in Ireland, it is evident
that more than half a million dollars
will be required to furnish these peo-
pie with the bare necessities Of life
during the coming winter months. On
July 10th one hundred and sixty-one
families had their homes burned or
ruthlessly looted.

JOLLY PEPEsT
COLLEGE FOOTBALL d ANC
BUSINESS MEN DEVELOP
FRIENDSHIP
BANQUET SERVED BY wv. CA. LADIES
Over One Hundred Men Attend the
Happy Affair at G.. A. r.
Hall Tuesday Eve.

The peppiest meeting ever held in
Brookings and a jolly good time with
lots of good eats are only mild descrip-
tive terms concerning the banquet
which was given by the Rotary Club
Tuesday evening at the G.. A. R. hall
to the football squad of State college.
Besides the football men each men,
Der of the Rotary Club invited a bust
ness associate or friend so the gather
ing numbered yer a hundred and in
cluded the majority of the business
men of the city. Friendship was the
keynote of the evening and the friendly
spirit which was developed at this
meeting between the football team
and the business men was an inspira-
ton to everyone present.
There wasn't a dull moment from
the time the guests were seated at
the tables at $3.50 p. m. until they
gave the last cheer at nearly 1000
o'clock. AS o o as everyone was
seated singing began with the Rotary
Club leading. The songs were all of
the poppy kind, easy words, easy tunes,
but catchy and contagious. Some
were Rotary Club songs, some were
songs boosting South Dakota, and
some like Lii Liza Jane" Everyone
joined with a will and couldn't even
be stumped with the breath-taking
ditty, There's a nit on the gnat on
the hair on the frog On the rock IN
the hole in the bottom of the sea-"
The excellent cuisine force of the new
Y. w. c. A. cafeteria with the help of
the Y. w. c. A. members served the
dinner. The task of serving a large
gathering like that promptly and eff
GENTLY was no easy n and the sue
cess with which they accomplished it
brought praise from all the guests. The
meal was Of the size and quality apprc-
ciated by a football man. Everyone
did it full justice.
Van Fishback, president of the Ro-
tary Club, was the first formal speaker.
He welcomed the guests and gave an
interesting and enlightening exposition
of what the Rotary stands for, how it
originated, how it's membership is
formed and what it aims to do. A popu

Ten first places were won by the
junior exhibitors from this county,
which included six free trips to the
International Livestock show at. Chi
cago in December. The boys and girls
have definitely put Bookings county
on the map and as a citizen said the
other day we should take our hats
off to them and give them three cheers.
With the funds obtained from the
recent celebration and livestock show
in which the Pig Clubs and the Ameri-
can Legion joined forces, the Brook
ings county, boys and girls were able
to ship a carload of hogs to the ex.

fish and game of the state, now quite
plentiful, must be preserved, and pro-
pagated. This, to my mind, will be
most effectively done, when we have
taken the matter of enforcement OF
our fish and game laws away from To-
cal influences. And inasmuch as those
resources belong to all the people,
there should accrue to the people a
fair and reasonable revenue through
the operation of the laws. Conserva-
ton of resources is not enough. We
must build up and develop. That great
tract of fertile land known as the Ev-
erglades, is a potential empire within
itself The very important work OF
drainage and reclamation, undertake
en- years ago must go on. Utilizing the
funds derived from the sale of public
lands after paying to the school fund
the amount as required by the consti-
tuition. we will, 1 trust continue the
task until completed.
Roads and Highways
We must cooperate with the ma
tional government in the construction
of roads and highways. We must
match the federal appropriation, al
ways with an adequate state appr5-
priation. A system of public roads,
connecting every county seat in Flor
ida should be laid out, and eventually,
[ believe, the state should actually
take over, construct and maintain,
without assistance from the counties,
main thoroughfares connecting differ :
ent sections of the state as distin-
guished from localities. We have
dreamed and planned sufficiently long.
Now has the time arrived for actual
work and construction. 1t is our great
problem today. I trust that the high
way commission for the next four
years may set themselves to the task
of actually building roads.
Truthful Publicity
Our aim for the future should be
to give to the people of other states
some conception of the greatness, the
attractiveness and beauty of Florida
through truthful advertising, to
keep in mind and foster every move
ment which will develop and benefit
