LOSE TO WATERFOWL

Brookings high school lost the cham
pionship of the north central district
of the high school debating league last
Saturday evening to Watertown high
school by a two to one decision. The
debate was closely contested and there
was considerable doubt in the minds
of the audience which side deserved
the victory. The work of both teams
was excellent in every respect show
ing long periods Of careful prepare
ton, research and laborious training.
The Brookings team composed OF Miss
Gladys Caldwell, George Blakeslee and
Richard Bracket upheld the aftiram-
tive side of the proposition that con-
gress should enact laws providing com
pulsory arbitration of disputes arising
between capital and labor. The win
ming team from WATERFOWL was made
up of Marion Wagner, Elizabeth Gill
land and Miss Loucks. d. r. McGrew
of Huron college, Supt. Lloyd of Huron,
and Supt. Nickle of Madison, were the
judges.

COUNTY HIGHWAY
SUPT. APPOINTED
HENRY NEGSTAD OF SINAI, is
CHOSEN BY BOARD TO
FILL VACANCY
GIVES A BRIEF OUTLINE Of PROGRAM
ContempIates Regarding All County
Roads - Expects to Put All
In Shape by Fall.

Henry Negstad of Sinai, was appoint
ed by the board Of county commission
ers last week to the office Of county
highway superintendent to fill the va
cancy left by the expiration of the term
of office of A. j. Willis and took charge
Of the highway office last Friday. The
appointment will be in full force and
effect upon receipt of the approval of
the state highway commission az
Pierre which is now being awaited.
Mr.. Negstad is a sturdy, clean cut
young man who to the position
well recommended. He is a native of
Bookings county, having been born
and raised on a farm in Lake Sinai
township. After graduating in cleo
trical engineering from Highland Park
college at Des Moines, Iowa, in 1912
he spent three years in the employ of
the General Electric Co. at Lynn and
Pittsfield, Mass. Following that he
spent a year as consulting engineer
in Chicago. During the last three
years he has been engaged in building
roads in this county. The success he
has met in building roads in this coun-
ty is attested to by the board of COM
m~issioners.
Although Mr.. Ne2stad has been on
the job less than a week, he has al
ready formed a general program for
road work in Brookings county for the
coming year. The program cOntem-
plates the regarding of all of the LOO
miles Of county roads, the construc-
ton Of several concrete culverts and
completing the bridge contracts that
were let last year. The five large
tractors which the county purchased
last year will be put to work grading
the roads. "If weather conditions are
at all favorable" Mr.. Negstad stated,
Eve expect to have all the county
roads in good shape by fall"
In addition to the county roads, II
seems very probable at present that
the state highway commission will let
a contract in June for the construction
Of a state highway east and west
through Brookings as a further devel-
opment in the plan Of the state to build
a graveled highway east and west
across Brookings county through the
towns Of Arlington, Volga, Brookings,
Aurora and Elkton. This road is now
graded from Arlington to a point three
miles west of Volga and the work Of
graveling begins this spring. The com
pletion Of this highway will be of
great value to the road system Of the
county and will help solve many Of the
road troubles.

CHARIOT MYSTERY
STILL UNS0[VED
CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR STRANGE
DEATH OF LESTER CHAR
LOT NEAR VOlGA
FOUND IN DOORWAY Of FATHERS BARN
Large Gathering Of Friends Pay
Last Respects to Well
Liked Young Man.

Mystery surrounds the circumstances
by which Lester Chariot, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Chariot, who reside on
a farm VIC miles east Of Volga, met his
death last Wednesday night or Thurs
day morning. He was found dead in
the doorway of his fathers barn last
Thursday morning with only a slight
bruise on the forehead not sufficient 10
be regarded as fatal. There We're no
bruises which would lead one 10 be.
lieve that he had been kicked by a
horse. One theory is that the sudden
death might have been due to heart
failure.
On the Wednesday evening previous
Lester Chariot and Arnold HagemC
rode to Nolga on horseback. They re
turned home at a late hour. His sad
die pony was found put away in the
morning, so it seemed that he died just
as he was about to return TO the house.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at VOlga, at which a large
gathering of sympathetic friends from
all around the Bookings community
were in attendance. T. Nesbit held
short services at the home before the
body was taken TO the Presbyterian
church at Nolga, where the funeral ser
vices were held by Rev. Hagor. The
church was far too small to accOmmo-
date even half of the great gathering,
Interment was made in Hillside ceme-
terry.
Lester Chariot was a young man, 20
years and three months old, clean,
good, upright, industrious and well
liked by all who knew him. He leaves
his parents and two brothers to MOURN
his sudden passing. The deepest sym
patty of the entire community goes
out 70 the grief stricken family, to
whom the tragedy was a great shock.

CLUB ASKS BOND :
ISSUE F0RZANT
COMMERCIAL cLUP SETING DIS
cUSsES PROBLEM OF HEAT
AND LIGHT PLANT
BENEDICT SPEAKS ON MARKETING PLAN
The Time Worn Proposal Of Making
a Public Park in Brookings
Is Revived.

There was a fairly good attendance
of members at the meeting OF the
Commercial Club last Friday evening.
Although there had been a general
call in the city papers for all the peo'
pie interested in the subject or i'm
proving or rebuilding the city power
plant because of its very critical con
dition and the pressing need OF the
future, there were very few out
siders present. When the subject
came up for discussion n speaker
remarked that he thought that Brook
ings taxpayers were lacking in inter
est in things of vital Importance in
which they should be interested but
when it came to paying taxes they
would holler their heads off and the
ones that paid the least taxes always
did the most kicking and made the
most noise. The matter was finally
disposed of by a resolution asking
the city commission to go ahead with
a bonding issue to the amount or
$50, 900 for the purpose, and that &C
ton be taken at once.
According to the report of the cleo
trical expert from the University OF
Wisconsin, who made a survey OF the
plant, a new unit can be installed with
other efficiency equipment TO bring
the capacity of the plant high enough
to take care Of the needs of the city
for several years for approximately
$50, 600. After making an eXamina-
ton of the chimney, which many
feared would have 10 be rebuilt, he
declared it to be safe and sound and
amply large to meet the needs of the
plant. He stated however, that the
Brookings plant was conspicuous for
it's lack of any kind of measuring
equipment with which to ascertain
lust what the plant was doing, wherein
it was wasteful or in what way it was
efficient. 1t is like a ship without a
rudder. He gave the superintendent
of the plant a great deal of credit for
getting as much as was being produced
from the plant with such incomplete
equipment.
Mr.. Benedict was present having
arrived on the evening train from
Chicago where he had been to meet
with the committee of seventeen for
consideration Of the farm marketing
problem. Mr.. Benedict spent about
an hour in explaining the work of the
farm marketing plan of the commit
tee of II, covering the same ground
that has been recited in these col
umns in previous issues. His talk

RECITAL

A very pleasing recital was given
in the college auditorium Monday
evening by Mrs. f. r. Binnewies, grad
uate pianist, assisted by Miss Hazel N
Reed, soprano and Miss Hazel E. Rink
accompanist. Mrs. Binnewies display
ed unusual musicianship in her mum
bers which included the Beethoven so
nata pathetique, the first movement Of
Weber's concertstuck and a group Of
modern and classical numbers. Her
interpretations Of the first and second
sonata movements, the Schumann 70
nance and Sinding Marche gortesqu"
were especially artistic and the tech
nical difficulties Of the Concertstuck
easily met.
The numbers by Miss Reed were
very attractive, including two Schu,
mann songs, an May" and "When'er
Thine Eyes I Gaze Upon" and David's
aria, Thou Brilliant Bird" from the
Pearl of Brazil" Her voice is Of a
beautiful quality and under excellent
control. The Schumann numbers
were Of a delightful tone quality and
ample flexibility was shown in the
aria. The Accomplishments by Miss
Rink were up to her usual high stand
ards, extremely sympathetic and ar
tistic.

SIOUX FALLS LOSES CLASSIC

The big football game between State
college and the University of South
Dakota will be held in Nermillion next
fall instead of Sioux Falls. This game
is the greatest and largest athletic
event in the state each year and draws
immense crowds. The crowd last fall
at the game at Sioux Falls was the
largest that ever witnessed a football
game in the state. The reason for
taking the game away from Sioux
Falls this year was given by the
coaches OF the two schools to over
ONE difficulties with the schedule Of
the university. If the State college
game were to be played at Sioux Falls,
the university would have but one
tire season. The Vermillion coaches,
Whittemore and Stewart, IL that vt
vas necessary to have at least two
games on the home field, hence they
induced Coach West to bring his team
to Vermillion for the big game to be
held on Dakota Day, November IL.
It is thought possible that next year,
the great battle will be staged in
Brookings on State 1eld, thus alter
mating between Vermil1iOn and Brook
ings. The game would probably be the
big attraction for Hobo day, and would
draw double sized crowds to Brook
ings for the day.

BURGLARS ATTEMPTS FoILED

An unknown person forced an en-

Mrs. Oscar Steen at the corner of
Sixth street and Sixth avenu last
Monday night, but was discovered by
Mr.. Steen and was frightened away
before he succeeded in footing the
place. Night police A. B. Chase was
called and a thorough search Of the
premises and surrounding neighbor-
hood failed to reveal any suspicious
characters. Towards morning, how
ever a strange man was noticed loiter.

1t Is said that a search revealed skele.

a hearing Tuesday morning but no
evidence could be found against him
sufficient to convict him so he was
released. The popular and accepted
theory Is that the burglary was at.

LEAGUE COVENANT
F[ATLY REJECTED
PRESIDENT HARDING ASKS FOR
DECLARATION OF PEACE
IN MESSAGE
TRA|FF AND TAX REVISION COME FIRST
Declares Railroad Rates Are Too
High and Recommends An
investigation.

Final rejection of the Versailles
league of nations by the American gov
eminent was proclaimed to the world
by President Harding in his message
to congress delivered Tuesday.
Speaking before the new congress,
the president declared acceptance of
the league would be nothing short Of
a betrayal Of the mandate Of the No
vember elections. Instead, he asked
a congressional declaration of peace
OF the Versailles treaty which protect
American rights and in the war settle
ment.
'In the existing league Of nations,
world governing with its super-pow-
ers, this republic will have no part
he said. 1T Is only fair to say to the
world in general and to our associates
in wal in particular, that the league
covenant can have no sanction by us"
In his recommendations for domes-
tic legislation, the president gave
greatest attention to tariff and tax
revision and to the railway situation,
though he endorsed lesser measures
which congressional leaders declared
might prolong the special session un-
til the snow flies. He also declared
his faith in a maintained merchant
marine and in the principle Of anna
ment reduction without asking for leg
islation.
Declaring rates and operating ex-
penses Of the railroads must be low
cred, Mr.. Harding asked that congress
investigate the transportation prob
lem. He recommended coordination
Of all governmental agencies dealing
with former service men, strength
ening Of the federal laws affecting
highway construction and mainten-
nance, enactment Of budget legislation,
and congressional inquiry into
l%ynchfng and race relations.

SPECIAL ELECTION CALLED

\ special election for the issue of
purpose of constructing and eQuipping
the municipal power plant so that it
viii be adequate to supply the de-
mands of the city for electric light
and power and steam heat, has been
called by the city commissioners to
be held in the various voting precincts
OF the city on Tuesday, April IS. The
bonds will bear 6 per cent interest
and will run for ten years. The urgen-
cy OF the need and the necessity for
immediate action caused the city com.
earliest possible date in order that all
the various legal procedure may be
completed in time to start work this
summer. In order to use the new high
school building next fall it will be alb
solutely essential that the power plant
be supplied with new equipment.
The power plant at present repre-
sents no investment of the city what
ever for the plant has paid for itself
during the period it has beer in opera
ton. 1t is to be expected that the
plant will shortly pay for the new
equipment which will be put in be-
cause it will greatly increase the ca
pacity Of the plant. BY increased eff
f~iciency it may even be possible TO
lower the rate, give better service,
and at the same time bring in more
profit to the city treasury. The eff
feet Of fixing up the power plant will
be to lower taxes rather than TO raise
them.
