MACHINERY REPAIR WEEK

The newest kind of a week in Brook
ings county is the Farm Machinery Re
pair week which is to take place the
first week in March, according to a
resolution passed by the executive
committee of the BroOkings County
Farm Bureau at a meeting held at
headquarters last Saturday night.
President Tom Maher, Roy Squirting
present, along with II. j. Boyts, county
agent.
The text OF the resolution follows:
Whereas, The price Of farm ma
chinery has reached such a high level
the past year that it is almost impos-
sible for the farmer to stand the pres
ent price condition on said farm ma
chinery and in view Of the late In
crease of SO 13 per zen in freight
rates and a 10 to 20 per cent increase
in price for the coming year on all
machinery, we, the executive commit
tee of the Brookings Farm Bureau, do
hereby resolve to refrain from pur-
chasing and ask the farmers of said
county to refrain from purchasing any
new machinery as far as possible.
Be it further resolved, That this be
accomplished by every farmer repair
ing his old machinery as far as posi-
Bile, and by %neighbor helping neigh
Dor when in an emergency.
Be it further resolved, That these
resolutions be published in all local
papers and that a copy be sent to
each township farm bureau president
of the county"
AS a result OF this resolution it was
decided to have a farm machinery
repair week in BroOkings county the
first week in March. The object Of
this repair week will be for every
farmer to clean up and repair all his
old machinery which he possibly can.
If any farmer has old machinery TO
sell or wishes to purchase some old
machinery, send his wants to the farm
bureau at once. A county list will be
made up and sem to all township farm
bureau presidents.

ment will take part in the state tourna-
ment which will be staged at Sioux
Falls two weeks later. Plans are un-
der way for the entertainment Of the
visiting high school teams who will
be in Brookings for the district tourna-
ment. This will be the biggest ath.
letic event of the winter in Bookings

this section OF the state.

MUSIC YIELDS PROFIT

Because State college has such an
exceptionally strong department of
music, renowned throughout the
northwest, uniformed persons have
sometimes criticised the college for
spending too much money for music
in an agricultural college" There are
two good replies to this unjust and I'M
fair criticism, according to college
authorities.
First, save for the salary of the d.
rector of the military band, the de-
partment Of music is not only self.
sustaining but yields a small revenue
to the college. The fall term makes
the poorest showing for the year but
here are the figures for the fall term,
just closed: Receipts from fees, 49,
444.25; paid to instructors, 1916. 80;
balance, $307.35.
Second, that students in a college
of agriculture and mechanic arts are
just as worthy of cultural opportuni,
ties as any other student. Perhaps
ever more attention should be given
such studies in an institution which
is so largely vocational in character

SOLONS vQ;ii TO
F|N|Sx1 BUILDING
APPROPRIATE $4,000 FOR THE
DORMiTORY FOR WOUNDED
SERVICE MEN
FLOOD Of NEW BILLS ARE INTRODUCED
Question of Movie Censorship Is
Becoming One Of Warm
Issues Of Session.

A bill appropriating $4,000 for the
wounded eX-service men who are vo-
cational training students at State
college, passed the legislature Tues
day afternoon. When the bill was first
oped, but when the legislature became
informed of the hardships which the
wounded veterans suffered for lack
of housing facilities the bill was
passed without a struggle.
The Sioux Falls and Vermillion
boosters have been on the ground the
past week fighting out the matter of
removal of the State university from
Nermillion to Sioux Falls. They APP
peared before the committee having
the bill in charge, as it is not yet out
in the open. What effect either had
is not visible on the surface as yet,
but it is rather a safe guess that when
the show down the university
Will be at the same place on the banks
of the Missouri where it has stood for
nearly forty years, and the Big Sioux
will be required to get along without
that M particular institution.
The house has put across the bill
which attempts to limit what was
called hotel holdups' in this state.
The bill requires all hotels to post
their rates in plainly printed figures
on the doors of their rooms. such rates
TO be subject to the approval of the
state hotel inspector. Without his per-
mission they cannot shove up rates
when a large gathering comes to town.
Whatever rate they ask, a tender of
the printed rate is sufficient to cancel
the account.
One of the floods of o~ratory of the
session came on the "Eugenics" bill
sent down by the Aberdeen Social Sci
ence club. This required physical *
animation of contracting parties be-
and called out a storm on the floor
both for and against the measure. This
has been up for a number of sessions
and secured a larger number of votes
than at any past session with twenty
five voting for the bill, but the vote
was not heavy enough to indicate any
thing other than that the movement
is apparently gaining ground and it's
hackers are more hopeful of final vic
tory than they have been in the past.
Seven states are considering legisla-
ton along this line this winter, and
some of them are likely to take &C.

iROQUOIS HERE SATURDAY

Interest of high school basketball
fans is centered in the game between
Brookings high and %Iroquois to be
played at the college armory next
Saturday evening. IroQuois has one
of the strongest teams in the district
and a victory over them will be a big
feather in BroOkings' cap. The locals
played Iroquois on their home floor
Tuesday night of this week and were
defeated by a score of 81 to 16. The
small floor was such a handicap, how
ever, that the story will be consider
ably different when the two clash on
the big armory floor. The high school
won an important victory last Friday
night over Bryant. Bryant has de-
feated Volga and has one of the
strong teams of the district. The vic
tory was largely due to the phenome-
nal basket shooting of Sherman,
Brookings forward, who is rapidly de-
veloping into a star basketball player.
Sherman's basket shooting was also a
feature Of the game at IroQuois.
Hasle, Halverson, Lein and johnson
are the others who form the Brook
ing machine. Coach Armstrong was
much encouraged with the victory over
Bryant and is working hard with his
team to put them in shape to defeat
%Iroquois Saturday night.

DAKOTA CORN FOR STARVING

The South Dakota Farm Bureau
federation ~cOntemplates a gift of a
trainlOad of corn from South Dakota
farmers for the relief Of the starving
peoples Of Europe, China and the
Near East. Secretary p. j. Crandall
of Huron, has sent a query to the
county farm bureaus to ascertain the
probable mount hat may be con.
trIbuted. The replies now being re-
ceived are more than gratifying.
Union county writes that her farmers
will supply three car loads when the
call comes. Sully county wants to
contribute n car load. Other coun-
ties are now making local surveys.
The American Farm Bureau esti-
mates that 3 per cen of the corn
raised by half the farmers will be Of.
fered. The first call and collection
will be made on Washington's birth
day in some of the eastern corn states.
South Dakota's offering will be re-
ceived at a later date. Carl S. Vroo-
man, Bloomington, ILL.,. has been ap-
pointed by President J. X. Howard
as director of the farmers gift-corn
project for the relief Of the starving
peoples of Europe, China and the Near
East. Mr.. Vrooman established head
quarters at the office of the American
Farm Bureau federation, 5 S. Wabash
avenue, Chicago. President Howard
will appoint a man from each state to
assist Mr.. Vrooman in working out
definite plans for collecting the grain.
Definite acceptances OF 1000, 900
bushels Of corn r0- immediate ship
ment have come from Herbert Hoover.
The Near East relief has accepted
500 900 bushels. The China relief COM
mission Is at work On the transpOrta-
ton problem for 1000, 900 bushels.
The American Farm Bureau federation
is in receipt of assurance from all sec.
tons of the country that the farmers
are only waiting instructions as TO
when and where to ship their gift
corn. The railroad trainmen have
agreed to donate their labor in NOV
ing the corn. Thousands of naval re-
serve seamen are ready to spend a
month each in manning the ships OF
the q. S. shipping board, provided
these are obtained. The railroads
doubtless will offer their equipment.
The corn from each locality will lie
assembled and the cars will be dul!'
labeled with appropriate banners. In
each case it will be required that a
report be rendered back to the far,l-
ers as to who ate their %gift-corn, and
when.
