The famous Committee Of Seven
teen" known officially as the Farm
ers' Grain Marketing Committee OF
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, will open its sessions next 0
day in Kansas City, at the Hotel Bit
more, to go into the whole subject OF
marketing wheat and other grain
crops.
On the program are Herbert Hoover
and Bernard NJ. Baruch, who have
been in close touch with President
j. r. Howard of the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton for the last six months pre-
paratory to giving their views to the
Committee Of Seventeen" This CON-
mittee is the most important OF all
named by Mr.. Howard and its deer
sions and recommendations will be
watched throughout the nation.
One of the main purposes of the
conference is to put an end to the
present practice of selling grain, COT
ION and other farm products which
the sellers do not w at the time of
sale
The committee will go into the sub
ject of buying imaginary grain, chiefly
wheat and corn, which never existed
except in the minds of spectators and
men operating on the boards of trade.
This practice has an adverse effect,
saws tho American Farm Burpau uDOn
the entire grain market and has been
a detriment to grain growers.
The committee Of Seventeen has
spent five months studying grain mar
keting and its evils. 1t will urge the
establishment of fa~rmer-owned eleVa-

HARD LUCK FOR HIGH SCHOOL

The high school basketball team has
been experiencing a season of extreme
hard luck. The team is handicapped
of course because all of the material,
while good. is inexperienced. 1t takes
several years to make a basketball
gymnasium where the boys may start
practicing While young. it has not beer
possible to put out stellar teams. The
college has been generous in permit
ting the high school boys to practice
in the large gymnasium at the college,
but at best it has been ~inconvenient.
Coach Armstrong feels that with the
completion Of the gymnasium in the
new high school building. high school
athletics will be given a big boost that
will be of inestimable value.
The playing of the team has CON
sistently improved and Coach Arm
strong is feeling encouraged in spite
of the two defeats recorded the last
week. Last Saturday the boys went
to Flandreau and on the strange floor
against a fast. heavy and experienced
team they We're defeated 26 to s. On
Tuesday evening at Volga, on another
small floor with ~aggravating iron rods
in the way of the basket shooters,
Drookings was again defeated 10 to 10.
The score stood II to 8 at the end of
the first half. Sherman and Johnson
played especially good games. A game
has been scheduled with Bryant for
tonight. Next Tuesday the team goes
TO %lroQuois to play a game with the
fast high school team which is making
strong bids for district championship
this year. And on the following Sat.
urday, February 10, a return game will
be played with IrOquois here.

HYDRO BILLS GET
KNOCK OUT BLOW
STATE SENATE DEFEATS MEAS.
URES FOR ELECTRIC
POWER PLANT
TAKE CHUNK OUT Of RICHARDS PRIMARY
Also Fai! to Pass the Law Which
Places Onerous Jury Duty
Upon Women.

Hydro-electric legislation went down
noon, both the bill accepting engi-
neer's report proposing plant be To-
Gated at Mobridge and the bill pre-
scented by joint committee on power
and power development being showed
under by a large majority.
Expression of opinions on the floor
by members indicated that a majority
believed the state should not engage
in an enterprise Of this nature and
even if it should, conditions are not
ripe at this time for such a PROPOSE
ton because the state is not developed
to a point where such a proposition
could be undertaken with any degree
of assurance that it would be an as
set rather than a liability.
Only the signature of the governor
is necessary to complete repeal of the
party platform sections Of the Rich
ards primary law. A bill to this ef-
feet originating in the senate passed
the house yesterday unanimously.
The senate reconsidered the vote
which killed the mortgage registry
tax Monday and referred further ac-
ton until February Is.
The present week has been a busy
one in the legislature and has also
been one of considerable talking over
a number of bills. The house placed
its approval on the compulsory educa-
tional bill, which requires attendance
in the schools of the state during the
school year. An attempt to amend to
allow farmers to keep their children
out of school from April 1 to Novem-
Der /, inclusive, for work on the farm
was voted down, and the compulsory
feature goes without this exception.
After it had been urged that the work
of the children was necessary on the
farm within these months one of the
members wanted to know if the neigh.
borhood from which objection came
was attempting to raise children or
farm machinery. The bill carries a
pNl"ity Va " III vi " Wv w P-O
on the person having children Of school
age in their control for failure to com
ply with the provisions of the law, and
for any subsequent offense a fine Of
from $25 to so with a jail sentence if
necessary to carry out the provisions
of the law. Instead of the old require
ment of a certain number of months
schooling in each year the new bill
requires attendance for the full term
of the public school in the different
districts in which any child over eight
years under seventeen years of age
is living. The bill now goes to the
senate for its action.
The Language bill' was passed by
the senate and carries a provision that
nothing but English shall be taught in
any of the schools of this state during
the school year. But allows the teach
ing Of foreign language either in or
out of the school houses of the state
from May to September, inclusive.

The total amount spent for the con-
struction Of highways under the fed
eral aid plan in Brookings county last
year was $54,951.50 on two projects,
neither Of which were finished. This
is a very small share compared with
the amounts expended in other coun.

projects are completed. The total
cost to date is $2,116,258.35.
Federal aid project No. 4 extends
southwark from the city of Brookings,

BUSHNELL ELEVATOR BURNS

Fire fighting efforts were of no avail
in extinguishing the fire which broke
out in the e. T. Alguire elevator at
Bushnell shortly after midnight last
Friday. The wind was in a favorable
direction so the fire did not spread.
The elevator burned to the ground and
was a total loss, A call was sem in
to the Brookings fire department to
stand in readiness in case the wind
should change and threaten to wipe
out the entire town. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

STATE LOSER IN MELEE

The North Dakota University team
knew they had been in a basketball
game last night even if they emerged
victor over State college by a 81
TO 10 score, after the fastest and most
hardfought game ever staged on the
armory floor. Coach Vests fast work
ING Quintette were a little b~ewildered
at the start of the game when the
Flickertails made five baskets in rapid
succession in the first few minutes,
but from then or they fought every
minute OF the game. The North Da-
kota team greatly outWeighed state
and were accurate passers. They
had a we'll oiled machine that was
both powerful and swift. They were
also endowed with considerable luck.
Hauser. the North Dakota forward,
who is a veteran of many years and
famous as a football player as well.
was the big star Of the game, making
seven field goals in the first half and
three in the second. The first half
Ol lle Stlilc was NNly lOuSi anu 'ASl
fouls We're called on the team from
the north. Carey missed but n free
throw out of the eight in the first
half. Thune dropped two counters in
for State in this period making the
total count II for State while North
Dakota had % at the end of the first
half. Carey and Thune played a great
game and brought cheer after cheer
from the large crowd that filled the
armory to capacity. Thompson, the
big guard, got in SOME fine work in
breaking up North Dakota plays and
stood the roughing very well indeed.
The teams will clash again tonight
at the armory and a still greater
crowd of fans will be present and
the Flickertails a much closer rub.
North Dakota has the best team in
its hosiery and has lost but one of
the 26 games played this season and
that to Minnesota by only one point.
Next Thursday and Friday evening,
February II and IS, the team from
the state university at Vermillion will
play Coach Vests team on the local
floor. A great deal Of interest is
shown in these two games and a large
crowd will be u to see State take
two victories from their old rivals.
Last week State made a trip to Yer
million and divided honors with the
Coyotes in two games. The first game
resulted in a 10 to 4 victory for the
university, but the second game was
a decisive victory for State by a score
Of 90 to II. In the first game State
was handicapped by the strange small
floor and the scoring machine did not
seem to work well. In the second
game, however, they kept the Coyotes
gasping.
The lineup for last nights game
follows.
