poor crops, or a partial failure which
is unavoidable, thus cutting down the
income of the manager, the owner
makes some allowance and gives the
manager, in addition to the wages he
has received, what he thinks is due
him for the work he has done, and the
responsibility he has assumed.
In the period before the war infla-
tion the managers made from $41 to
$40 per month the year around, in
addition to having their rent, garden,
milk. butter. and eggs. The manag-
er of the smaller farm, comprising 96
acres, received $35 a month straight
wages for four years up to 1918 and
his bonus averaged $168 a year. The
manager of the other farm, compris-
ing $50 acres. formerly received $50
per month and was increased to $35
and his yearly bonus has averaged
$276.
When the fact is taken into con-
sideration that tho managers employ
ed under this system are provided
with houses in which to live and are
given the privilege OF raising their
home supplies of vegetables. milk.
poultry. and eggs. 1t will be seen that
their necessary expenses ale incon-
siderable and It must be conceded that
they arc well paid for their services.
in view of the fact that they have no
investment risk. The length Of time
which the men remain on the farms
shows that this method of employ
meNt must have been satisfactory
both to the employee and the land
lord in these cases. 1t should be
pointed out, however. that the tenant
should have absolute confidence in his
landlord before he would be justified
in working under this system.

SCORE "a TO 7
NORTH D. K0TA AGG|ES HERE THIS week
State College Has lmpregnable De-
Tense and Shows Brilliant
Offensive Attack.

In the fastest and best exhibition of
basketball on the college armory this
season, State college defeated the team
from 81. Mary's college of Winona,
Mimi, last Saturday evening by a
score of "A to Z. The contest was
hard fought every step of the way.
The battle was between the excellent
team work of the Saints offense II
the impenetrable fve-man defense Of
Coach Vests squad. The five-man de-
tense won out as the score shows. The
visitors were held to one field goal in
the first half. Although they man
aged to break through States defense
occasionally they missed their shots at
the basket. States offensive game came
in flashes and in a fast brilliant attack
they would usually tally a field goal.
States center, Lars Thune, was the
leading point getter in the first half,
making three baskets. Carey, States
captain, Speeded up in the last period
and rung up sixteen points for his
team. Thompson and Wllladsen as
guards worked good all through tbs
game and were the mainstays of the
defense. Johnson at left forward was
the star man on the local team for
floor work but vas unlucky in dropping
in counters.
The game r~oughened up %perceptibly
in the last half and numerous fouls
were called on the visiting team. A
few minutes before the game ended
Gayer, left guard on the Minnesota
team, was taken out with four per
sonal fouls against him. ID. Fugie,
the center on the visiting team, was
their most valuable man.

The 1921 season of high school de-

feated by the Brookings affirmative

NAB BOOZE

The Centerville Journal gives the
following account of the arrest of the
two men who jumped their bonds and
failed to appear at court to answer
a charge of violation of the liquor law:
That the arm of the law is long
and seldom forgets was again demon
strated in Centerville this week, when
Deputy Sheriffs l.. II. Billick and
James Isom, of Bookings, S. D., came
to our city after the two young men
wanted in BrOokings county for jump
ing their bonds over a year ago. The
men wanted were Pete LOvre, the
wrestler, and Jack Murphy, but only
one Of. them was taken back by the
officers, and thereby hangs a tale that
is rather comical. Lovre or Lovely,
as he has been called here, and Muir
ply were sleeping together at the Will
Matters home Monday morning when
the Brookings officers and Deputy
Mitchell of this county went up after
Lovre. The officers had mentioned
only Lovre to Mitchell, hence he did
not know of the bench warrant out
for Murphy. He went to the room
occupied by the men and served the
bench warrant on LOvre and took him
down to the men below, and they
proceeded down town. AT the Boyd
the BrOokings officers turned LOvre
over to Mitchell to care for until they
could go to Beresford to get another
party, they said they wanted. Lovre
asked if they had a warrant for Muir
ply too, which was the first intima-
ton Mitchell had of the fact. He
rushed back to the Waters home only
to learn that the latter had beat it.
Those who saw him say the fastest
grey hound in the state could not have
caught him as he left the Matters
home. The officers drove to the Muir
ply home but did not find their man
and went back to Mitchell without him.
According TO the officers the young
men were caught in some booze bust
ness in BrOOkings county over a year
ago, and gave bonds for their ap-
pearance and jumped their bonds.
Bench warrants were issued when
they learned of the whereabouts of
their men, and they will no doubt have
to stand trial. We are informed by
local parties that Murphy followed
the officers to Brookings Wednesday
morning and gave himself up.

TO HEAR FAMOUS WAR LECTURE

The people of Brookings will have
an opportunity 10 hear the justly IA
nous war lecture of Chaplain Guy p.
Squire on Thursday evening, Febru-
airy 8, at the college auditorium. Chap
lain Squire has not given this lecture
before in Bookings but it has made
a hit in the other cities where he has
given it. Those who have heard the
chaplain speak, will be glad for an
other opportunity for he is an enter
tanning, interesting and forceful speak
er. The war lecture is his master
piece. The special reason for giving
the lecture is for the benefit of a
fund to convert the shooting gallery
in the college armory into a bowling
alley for the use of the wounded
ex-soldiers who are taking vocational
training at State college. These dis
abled men are unable physically to
take part in other sports, such as
football, basketball or ever milder
sports, but bowling is a sport that they
can indulge in which will give them
healthful and beneficial exercise and
much wholesome amusement.

ESTABLISH HEALTH CENTER

The first health center in Brookings
county was established last week ~
Sinai by Miss Sadie Anderson and Miss
Femicha Klinefelter, Red Cross nurse
and home service worker, respectively,
for Bookings county, at the request
of the citizens of that town. The
health center provides rest rooms for
the rural folk when they come to town
to do shopping and has a reading room
supplied with health literature. Miss
Anderson will visit the center once a
month and give lectures and practical
demonstrations on sanitation, health,
care Of the sick and other health top
les. Miss Anderson hopes that the
other towns in the county will pro
vide similar rooms for a health center
for the need for them is great. The
city OF Brookings is especially lacking
in any sort of a rest room for the con.
venience of the people who come in
from the country and spend the day
shopping.

The Lineup:
TO VOTE BONDS FOR SCHOOL

at is the intention of school au-
thorities to use every dollar of the
proposed $4,000 bond issue for the
new high school building as an asset"
was the statement Of Supt. S. w.
Johnson in an interview yesterday in
answer to the question of what the
money was to be used for. Nothing
will be put up in the new high school
that will have to be torn down later.
The building will be completed as far
as the money will go but no money
will be wasted on temporary arrange
ments. 1t is the intention to complete
the gymnasium and the class rooms
first. Light and heat will be installed
but the ventilation system will be post
pOned until more funds are available.
The auditorium must also wait. If the
bonds for $65 5000 are voted by the
people at the election on Tuesday,
February 2, 1t will be possible to put
the new building in shape to be used
next fall. That is especially desirable

The plans for the new high school
building called for an expenditure of
about $3.50 900. Up to the present time
the people have voted $165, 900, ami
that sum has been expended to bring
the building to the present stage Of
completion. The amount to be voted
on at the next election is not sufficient
to complete the building but in view
Of constantly diminishing costs of la
Dor and materials it will go q great
deal farther this coming summer than
an equal sum last summer.

POWER PLANT PROBLEM

The electric light and power prob
len Of Brookings is the subject of a
great deal of conversation and debate.
1t has been brought closely to the in
tereSt of the citizens recently by in
creased inrOads in their pOcketbooks
for electric light and power bills.
Everyone interested in knowing the
present condition Of the municipal
light and power plant and what is
necessary to make it adequate to sup
ply the electric current necessary TO
meet the demand at reasonable rates,
should attend the meeting Of the city
board Of commissioners at The City
hall next Monday evening, January
"a, and hear the report of l.. Il. Pol
lard, consulting engineer, who has
made a survey Of the plant. Mr.. Pol
lard is one of the most competent
authorities on electric power plants
in this section Of the country. His
advice will be given in the interest
of the people who use the current and
will be untouched by bias, nor is he
interested in selling the city any ma.
chinery. His advice is given from
a professional viewpoint entirely.
