HALF MILLION POUNDS SOLD

twenty-five thousand pounds Of half
blood staple wool and 125, 900 pounds
Of half-blood clothing wool was sold
out of the Minnesota-Dakota grade by
the National Wool Warehouse and
Storage company of Chicago, accord
ing to advices just received by J. c..
Holmes, livestock specialist at State
college and secretary of the South
Dakota Sheep and Wool Growers as
ISOLATION. The two lots were sold at
20 cents and q cents per pound, re-
spectively. This means that perhaps
one-tenth of South Dakota's east Of
the river wool was included in this
sale. This is considered a very close
price, but as it Is a dark wool and
the demand is not so great the price is
considered fairly satisfactory.

GERMANS ASSERT
THEY CAN'T PAY
REFUSE TO NEGOTIATE ON THE
BASIS OF PROPOSALS
OF THE ALLIES
SAY THAT TERMS WOULD PRODUCE CHAOS
Terms Provide Payment on Increasing
Scale According to Return
of Prosperity.

Fresh trouble is being started with
Germany over the payment of the in
demnity asked by the Allies and the
situation at the present time is very
tense. DR.. Walter Sjmons, the foreign
minister, says that Germany cannot
pay the huge amount asked. In a
speech before the German reichstag
he declared that Germany would refuse
to negotiate on the basis of the entente
decisions regarding PREPARATIONS and
formulate counter proposals. His po-
sition was supported by all the party
leaders except the communists who
heckled and jeered him when he con-
cluded speaking.
The proposed scheme provides for
the payment of annuities on a sliding
scale Of from 1000, 900 900 to 5000, 00O,.
600 gold marks over a period Of forty
two years and also a 1914 per cent
ad valorem tax on German exports SO
that her creditors will be paid accord
ing to Germany's increasing prosperity.
Madness" is the term leaders Of
the reichstag used in discussing the
reparation conditions. Foreign Minis
ter Simons declared the execution Of
the terms would produce chaos, not
only in Germany, but throughout CEN
trail Europe, as the bankruptcy of Ger
many would also bankrupt part Of Ger
many's war creditors, among whom is
France"
ut is greatly to be deplored," he
continued, that the great American
nation was only a bystander during
the negotiations concerning repara-
lions at Paris. The settlement OF this
question determines the fate of the
worlds economics and of world cul-
ture."

HIGH SCHOOL TO Be READY NEXT FALL
UnsjohtIy Frame Buildings VIII
Then Be Re moved and the
Grounds Improved.

By an Overwhelmingly majority OF
446 to 81 the voters of the city of
Bookings decided to issue bonds IN
the sum of $4,000 TO complete the
new high school building SO that it
can be occupied next fall, in the spe-
cial election last Tuesday. The few
dissenting votes cast is considered to
be very encouraging and clearly IN
dicative of the general progressive
thought of the citizens of this public
spirited community.
The building at present is entirely
enclosed with the exception OF win
dows and presents an appearance
equal to any public school building
in the state. The structure has cost
$166, 900 to date which is slightly more
than one-half Of the estimated cost Of
the completed building. 1t is esti-
mated that the building when COM
plete will cost $4,000 less than the
figures given by the contractors a year
ago.
The money obtained from these
bonds will be spent in completing the
most essential parts of the new build
ing, the class rooms, study rooms, and
the gymnasium. The heating, lighting
and plumbing will be installed. The
auditorium, corridors and small rooms
will remain unfinished until more
funds are available.
The use Of the new building next
fall will mean a large saving to the
taxpayers of the city since it will do
away with the use of the temporary
frame buildings which have an ex-
tremely high maintenance cost. AS
soon as the new building is ready for
use the old frame structures will be
removed and the grounds will be
graded and beautiied. 1t will be a
very important improvement in civic
beauty to have those %unsightly struc-
lures removed.

wards was as follows:

CLOSE CONTEST WITH SALEM

Coming to Bookings with a record
of fourteen victories and but three de-
feats land reckoned as one Of the
strongest high school basketball teams
in the state, Salem high school was
given a hard and fast tussle by the
BrOokings high school team last Fri
day evening at the armory. Up until
five minutes before the final whistle
blew the score was tied 8 TO 8. In
the last few minutes, however, Salem
gained strength and scored six points
giving them the victory, Is to 9. The
local high school team showed a great
improvement in their playing and their
remarkable defense against the speedy
Salem qulnt was very o~cmmendable.
Coach Armstrong has had difficult
work in turning out a first class bas-
ketbajl team for the high school and
in spite Of the record of defeats, pros.
poets look brighter now and his efforts
seem likely to be rewarded. Sum

TOUGH ON CALIFORNIA

South Dakota is thankful this win
ter that it is not afflicted with Cali
fOrnia weather, for the weather IN
California recently has been fierce
from all newspaper accounts. While
South Dakota reyels in warm sun
shine, c~loudless skies. and dry wealth
er. California has a real snowstorm
and only last Saturday suffered a
storm with a gale blowing at $50 miles
an hour. Brookings residents who
went to California to avoid the ter
rors of a South Dakota winter have
the sympathy of all.
The Register received a letter this
week from Mrs. J.. l.. C%olgrove who
is s%ojourning at Long Beach, contain
ing clippings from the Los Angeles
Times telling of the n storm that
visited that city on the same day that
the South Dakota society held their
annual picnic in Sycamore grove.
Snow fell first and was followed by
rain and hail. There was sufficient
snow for the children to have a great
time making snowmen. 1t was esti-
mated that more than 5000 former
residents of South Dakota attended
the picnic and more than 200 gallons
of coffee were consumed. When the
program was nearly over a thunder
storm broke loose and the party scat
tered. The snow struck Los Angeles
but did not visit the grove where the
picnic was held and many Of the South
DakOtans were i~ncredulous that it had
actually showed in California.
An interesting incident is told of
the picnic concerning Mrs. Peter Nor
beck who happened to be out sight
seeing that day in a rubber neck
wagon" and when the crier an
nounced, "On your left is Sycamore
grove where the great South Dakota
society composed of thousands of for
mer citizens are holding their annual
picnic this afternoon" Mrs. Norbeck
called to the driver to stop the car,
explaining that she was from South
Dakota and was going to quit sight
seeing for the day to attend the picnic
and visit with home folks.
Mrs. Colgrove states in her letter
that Mrs. Shea Sutton arrived on Sun
day, January 20, and stood the jour
ney fine.

BISHOP MITCHELL PLEASES ALL

Bishop Charles Bayard Mitchell of
ST. Paul, was a distinguished visitor
in Brookings this week and pleased
large audiences at the Methodist
Episcopal church, at state college. and
addressed the Rotary club at their
moor day luncheon on Monday. His
principal lecture, The Prize Taker,"
was delivered Monday evening at the
Methodist church to an audience OF
five hundred persons. His subject be-
fore the Rotary club was The Art Of
Human APPROACH His lectures were
full of force, wisdom, and clear think
ms delivered in an interesting style
that made a universal appeal.
Preceding the lecture Monday even
Methodist church, offered a short re-
cital. "A nan must have aim" said
Bishop Mitchell. The trouble with
most people is that they lack Objec-
tive and follow the line of least re-
sistence. A captain at sea knows
where he is going. Success in life Is
a question of will. Our eternal des-
tiny hinges in our will. Be the Gre
ator Of your circumstances. not the
creature of your circumstances.
while your will power is dominant,
there are two things you cannot con-
troll, ancestry and place Of birth. You
can make out of your life what you
want to. 1t was the soul Of Patrick
Henry hat made him great-not his
surroundings. Concentrate all your
powers towards one single object and
you will win the prize.
Modern civilization is the sum and
substance of men who have done one
thing and done that well. Let a man
look himself over, turn himself about,
study himself, and he will find some
one thing he can do and do better,
or as well as any one else.
Don't be narrow. Too many peo-
pie now can look through a keyhole
with both eyes. Michael Angelo was
the greatest figure in the Italian
Renaissance because he did things on
a colossal scale. He was not narrow.
Make your life ample.
Most people are greedy and they
grab at everything and get nothing.
Grab at one thing. Don't take a short
cut toward making money. If you are
going to start at the bottom toward
success, you must say goodbye to
money and to leisure.
I'VE may all take LIES highest
prize, but there are a thousand things
we must not do, a thousand words we
must not say, and q thousand places
we must not go, we have too much at
stake. LIES highest prize is charac-
ter"
Bishop Mitchell was for nine years
pastor Of ST. James's church, Chicago,
and served I|Iennepin Avenue church,
Minneapolis, and First church, Cleve-
land, preceding his elevation to the
episcopacy. His residential area in
cludcs the states Of South Dakota,

NORMALITES EASILY DOWNED

The second string men on the State
college basketball squad were enough
to defeat any contentious the Northern
Normal of Aberdeen may have had
for the winning of state basketball
honors when The two teams FLASHED
at the armOry last Saturday evening.
The final score was sc to 90 in favor
of State. Coach west started the
game with the regular lineup but
they ran away with things so fast
that the game was scarcely interest
ing so in a few minutes the second
team was substituted. The score at
the end Of the first half was "a to 8
in favor OF State, which tells fairly
accurately the ease with which the
regulars gathered in the points in the
few minutes which they played. After
the substitution the visitors were able
to battle the second team on even
terms for the rest Of the game. A
feature of the game was the large
number of fouls called on players Of
both teams. Coach Vests Quint was
working as a smooth unit and dis.
played a machine-like skill and preci-
sion that places State college as the
foremost contender for state honors
this year. 1t is a stellar team without
individual stars, which is the hardest
kind of a basketball team to beat.
Schultz at center with his fast floor
work was easily the star of the Nor
NAL team.
The coach has been devoting his
time this week to whipping the team
into the best shape possible for the
games tonight and tomorrow night at
Vermillion against States greatest
rival, the University of South Dakota.
Ten men have been picked to make
the trip. The Coyotes have been
playing a strong game this season
although they have suffered defeat at
the hands of Nebraska university and
Creighton university. Nothing from
comparative cores yields any import
ant information as to their strength,
but there is no doubt whatever in the
State college camp but that State will
square up for the defeat at football
last fall.
The lineup for last Saturdays game
Is as follows:
