LAWSUITS GALORE

Never in the history Of Brooking
county have so many circuit court az

ing the month Of April this yea.
Whether it is the climate, prohibition

usual reasons for so many legal qua

ty. Since April l, thirty circuit a
tions have been filed in the clerk I
courts office, according to the stat
ment of Herman S. Johnson, an ave
age of over one a day. Tuesday

RECEIVE FEDERAL ASSURANCE

A subcommittee of the board OF di-
rectors of the L. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, met with federal officials in Wash
ington recently and discussed various
phases Of the recently adopted grain
marketing plan. The committee was
assured that its plan Of forming an
export corporation under provisions
of the Webb act is sound. These Off,
Gals killed the rumor that grain con-
signed through the export corporation
could not be sold back on the local
market. Such a procedure would not
conflict with the law, the committee
was assured.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE COMPLETE

Contracts have all been signed TO,
the most formidable grIdirou schedule
ever attempted by State college and
the list of games for next fan is an.
nounced by Coach c. A. West as fol.
lows: October /. Northern Normal at
Aberdeen; October S, University OF
Wisconsin at Madison: October Is,

%, North Dakota State at Fargo:
October 20, open; November 5, North
Dakota university at Brookings CHobo
day.; November l, South Dakota uni
versity at Nermillion: November 10.
Creighton university at Omaha, Neb.;
November "A, Valparaiso university at
Gary, Ind.
This schedule includes practically
all OF the larger state institutions of
the two Dakotas; the University of
Wisconsin, a team that was ranked by
many as really the best in the big ten
last fall; and Valparaiso, a team that
meets Harvard and Centre on practl-
cally yer terms.
1t is a schedule that will try the
courage, spirit and skill Of any grid.
iron aggregation. But States men
are looking forward to it.
1t is possible that State may even
schedule another game, for the open
date of October 90, with Yankton. How
ever. considering the class Of the
teams already on her schedule the au
thorities will probably feel that they
need that date for a rest.

SET FIRE TO DE sMET SCHOOL

Authorities have thus far been I'M
able t o apprehend a "irebug" who set
fire to and attempted to destroy the
grade school building in De Smet last
week. The fire was discovered by
students who were in the high school
building ~rehearsing a play. The "Hre.
bug" had torn off some of the siding
and poured oil on the walls, then ap-
plying a match. Owing to the fact
that the fire was discovered a few
minutes after it started it was ex.
tinguished without diH1culty.
