ARTIST
COMPOSES MARCH
PROF. CARL CHRISTENSEN Is
COMPOSER OF "GREATER
STATE COLLEGE"
FIRST RENDITION At CONCERT TONIGHT
To Be Growing Feature Of Annual
Concert of States Famous
Military Band.

Standing out as the special feature
Of the annual concert of the famous
South Dakota college military band
this evening at the college auditorium
will be the first rendition Of a new
march, Greater State College" COM
posed by Professor Carl Christensen,
head of the music department and di-
rector of the military band. The new
composition Of Professor Christensen
is dedicated to DR.. Willis E. Johnson,
president of the college. This is not
the first march composed by Professor
Christensen, for he has long been
known as a successful composer Of
band music, but it is of special note
because it was inspired by State COL
lege and reflects the spirit Of the great
institution. The new march is very
melodious, has an especially original
trio and will appeal to State college
students from the fact that it contains
excerpts from the college song, "The
Yellow and the Blue"
The annual band concert is an event
that is looked forward to with a great
deal of pleasure each year by music
lovers. Last year the band made a
most successful concert tour, taking
in most Of the principal cities Of the
state. The soloists for this years con
cert are Arthur Johnson, Brookings,
clarinet; Carl Denies. Minneapolis,
trombone, and Stuart Bailey, Alexan-
dria, euphonium.
1t is almost futile to find words to
properly express adequately the work
that Professor Christensen has done
at State college in the field of music.
The whole music department is excel
lent in every particular and ranks as
the best in the state. The State col
lege bands, the military band and the
girls band, are known all over the
state. The college orchestra has no
equal within the borders Of this state.
State college and citizens of Brook
ings are keenly appreciative of the
efforts of Professor Christensen and
he always stands high in the good
will Of all.

that this state is now one Of the lead
ers in the great corn belt" We truly

endorsing this ~benevolence and heart
lily commencing ii to the people of
South Dakota: and this state has been
apportioned fifteen hundred depend

funds to care for the full number al
lotted to us. | hereby designate the
week of March 20 to % as Sacrificial
Relief week and urge that everyone

children may live and hat such as.
Stance may be given to those in
charge of the campaign that South
Dakota may do her full and unstinted
part in the cause Of starving children

II, girl of eight and boy of two, based
on figures of the amounts consumed by
such family, prepared by the Bureau
of Labor statisticians after exhaustive
survey.
The Bulletin presents these figures
simply as facts, and not to "show"
anything. No one knows how the
schedules will turn out. Prices are
furnished by interested persons in
each community who do not know how
the computations are finally made at
headquarters. Hence, there is no pos
sibility of collision anywhere, and the
results are, as stated above, simply
facts.
Next months computation will be in
teresting to watch. The switch Will
be made from the winter schedule Of
foods to the summer schedule. How
this will affect the results cannot be
said at this time. 1t may be, on this
account, totals will show somewhat
higher for June and then recede as the
summer lengthens and fresh fruits and
vegetables become more plentiful AMI
cheaper.
Tacoma, which shows the greatest
recession, has some points OF more
than usual interest. When last month
figures were shown, they started some

thing because Tacoma had bad pre-
eminence as costly city. The lum-
bermen and fourellers at Tacoma got
busy and had a meeting with the re-
tail merchants with the result that a
new triple alliance" was formed in
the Mountain City-retailers, lumber
men and employees of the latter being
the co-signatories. The purpose Is
general campaign against living costs.
So simple presentation of facts has
borne good fruit in this locality at
least
The most important single item in
the whole category of food stuffs is
fresh milk. That is, changes in milk
prices mean most to the cost of food
For the milk consumption of the aver
age family is over one-sixth of the
total diet The next most important
single item is potatoes. Nearly one
eighth of what we eat is spuds. Next
in line is bread-one-twelfth of the
diet-or if we include flour also, about
one-seventh. Fish and meat mean
about one-thirteenth of the diet. Lower
prices on these products mean more
than in any others when it comes to
aggregate food costs.

SHOCKED BY BOLT OF LIGHTNING
Rudolph DehlbOm Has Narrow Eccape
From Death I'm Thunder Storm.

Rudolph Dehlbom, son of John Delhi
bonn, formerly of Copeland but now
living on ranch near Nashua, Mont.
had a close encounter with bolt of
lightning recently. Rudolph was
that was killed by lightning and was
slightly shocked by the same bolt.
The Independent says:
William Nybakken, of the reserva-
ton, had a miraculous escape from
death on Thursday evening of last
week, as a result of bolt of light
ming, which struck the barn where he
was tying up a horse.
William has been working for John
Dehlbom this spring and following
the rain which fell that evening he
came to the barn leading a horse that
he had been using He had hold
of the halter rope when the lightning
struck the barn, instantly killing the
horse beside him. He was knocked
to the floor of the barn,
where he was later picked up by Mr..
Dehlbom's son, Rudolph, who carried
him into the house. He regained con-
seriousness in a very short time but
was not able to walk for several
hours. Two other horses in the barn
were also knocked down but were not
killed
Probably the only thing that saved
young Nybakken's life was the fact
that the horse received the full force
of the bolt of lightning, taking the
main shock away from him.
