Believed That Program
Will Be Submitted in
Concrete Form
u. D. MEANS BUSINESS.
To Convince World 1t
Is Sincere In Its
Proposals
(By Associated Press.l

washington, NOV. 4.-Ihe policies
and program of the American dele
cation to the armament conference
are beginning to assume definite
outline and if the expectations of Of
fetal Washington and realized the
opening days of the conference will
see sequence of developments some
thing like this: :
Presentation at the outset of a
concrete American plan for far
reaching reduction of naval arma-
ment.
Consideration along with this plan
of such troublesome problems of the
far east as may naturally project
themselves into the picture.
Meantime an effort by the United
States to keep the negotiations in
the open so that public opinion may
exert its pressure toward practical
accomplishment.
Reduction VIII Be Sweeping
Salient features of the American
naval armament proposal already
have been established and although
details remain to be fixed there is
reason to believe the reduction sug-
gested will be sweeping enough to
convince the whole world that tho
United States meant business when
it called the powers into conference.
1t would cause no surprise if the
leading naval powers found it nee
essary to submit the American plan
to long and careful study before de-
termining upon their course of ac-
ton. Should the reduction proposed
prove unacceptable it is believed like
ly that the American delegates hav-
ing once taken the initiative would
invite the other powers to present in
their turn some concrete counter
proposal.
All the evidence surrounding the
conferences of the American Big
Four with their naval advisers has
pointed to inclusion of a set of maxi
mum reduction figures in the plans
to be laid on the table by this gov
ernment. The impression that such
method may not lead to an imme-
diate agreement has been given
color by the apparent intention of
some of the powers to pursue a di-
rectly opposite course and enter the
conference setting high figure as
the measure of the naval armament
they consider requisite to their ma
tional safety.

today and now goes to President
Harding for approval. The senate

''In all of the northwestern prairie

of winter-killing Of fruit, ornamental
and shade trees as we'll as shrubs and
perennials, is the dry freezing Of
roots" says DR.. N. E. Hansen of the
State horticultural department. This
trouble Is not in evidence every fall
but is met with after unusually hot
summers. Special care should be
taken to give the roots a thorough

BOOSTING is ADVERTISING

Parker New Frat is a peculiar
but true coincident, but as a gen
eral rule the newspaper man finds in
his knocking about town, that the
average small-town merchant is also
a town booster just about in the same
proportion as he is a newspaper adj
vertiser. Look through any county
weekly, pick out the consistent and
faithful advertiser and on inquiry Of
competent townfolk, you will find, with
few exceptions, these same merchants
are town boosters in most instances
in exactly the same ratio as they are
local advertisers. Another reason, and
a good one too, why you should pat
ronize the merchant who advertises.
He is boosting for your interests, too.

HOME ~BUTCHERING PAYS

Under present conditions the home
butchering and curing of meats should
be very profitable, is the suggestion
of animal husbandry specialists at
State college. The high freight rates
combined with the micro handling
charges make the packing house prod
ucts unreasonably high when com
pared with the price the farmer re-
ceives for the animal on foot.
The labor on the average farm dur
ing winter months is not so urgent
but that ample time for home butcher
ing could be found.
Animals selected for food should be
healthy. They should also be in good
condition. Lean, scrawny animals do
not give much satisfaction when served
on the table. Fat improves the flavor,
tenderness and appearance of the
carcass.
Meats from old animals is usually
tough; while that from animals which
are too young lacks flavor and sub
stance due to the high water content.
An OLD animal will make a fairly edible
carcass it fattened rapidly.
Animals should not be fed for a
period of "a to 80 hours before kill
ing. This clears the system and aids
in bleeding. Food in the digestive
tract decomposes rapidly after slaugh'
tering and is liable to faint the meat
The animal should be given all the
water it will drink as this clears the
system of food and makes it easier
to drain off the blood.
Animals intended for immediate
slaughter should not be bruised OF
whipped. This tends to excite them
increasing the body temperature and
thereby making it impossible to prop
erly bleed the animal. Bruises also
cause a blood clot at the point OF
injury which d%isfigures the carcass.

AND WE THANK YOU!

The kind words of appreciation from
President Johnson for the part the peo-
pie of Brookings played in making
Hobo day a success amply repay us
for what services We were b to
render. We did our best to make 1t
the biggest day Of the year and If
anything was left undcne 1t was be
cause the t~ownspeople didn't happen
to think OF II.
In turn the people Of Brookings feel
grateful to State college, President
Johnson, the faculty, and students for
supplying us with such a delightful
day of jollity, youthful enthusiasm and
optimism which did us a lot Of good
in forgetting our troubles in these
trying times. Hobo day has made
Brookings famous from one end OF the
land to the other. We thank you for
putting Brookings on the map in such
an emphatic fashion. And this calls
to mind again the untold things for
which Bookings is indebted to State
college, which in the everyday course
Of life we fail to appreciate. Brook
ings is proud of the great state insti-
tuition located here and likes to feel
a part Of it. With the jolly student
body ever present, it makes Brook
ings a city Of veritable perpetual
youth. The enthusiastic and untiring
efforts OF President Johnson to build
up the institution and the loyal fac-
ulty working in harmony, do not fail
to merit the appreciation of the towns
people. And the ever present inter
est and he%lpfulness in civic affairs
which State college gives to Brook
ings is a constant source Of pleasure
and gratitude. In behalf of the city
of Brookings we thank you, President
Johnson.

improvement from week to week.
Practically all interests have begun

the claim that better business has come

lines.
One OF the anchor hopes for the i'm
mediate future is the improvement ex.
pected from the movement already
started in the basic industries. These
activities are regarded as the funda.
mentals on which all other business
energy is founded. They contribute
more than anything else, and for that
a are termed basic. The strong

a short time ago the Journal an
nounced that iron and steel were run
ming along at about 40 per cent OF
normal. That was a conservative esti-
mate, but 1t was not too low. The
United States Steel corporation now
makes the announcement that its out
put Is so per cen Of normal. Thus a
gain of 10 per cent, meaning many
millions of dollars in actual business
improvement, has been recorded IN
the last fortnight or so. The rail-
roads, escaping from the threatened
strike and determined, according TO
their announcement, to go after more
business by reducing freight rates,
are ordering heavily from the iron and
steel companies. That, of course,
paves the way for more jobs for
workers in shops and on rights Of

tural iron and steel, tin plate and pig
iron are selling better now, which
forces a demand on the furnaces in
the iron and steel districts.
October was a good month for mer-
chants as compared with September
and August. What is known as agri-
cultural merchandise activity was
greatly increased by the farmers buy
ing more heavily than they had bought
for some time. That is a result of
crop sales which put ready money into
the farmers pockets. The farmer finds
