GREAT FOOTBALL
TEAM FOR STATE
PRE- SEASON PROSPECTS VERY
PROMISING FOR STATE
COLLEGE
TWELVE MONOGRAM MEN WILL Be BACK
Coach West Will Have Squad Of 20
Experienced Players Beside
Of New Material.

While South Dakota Is getting In
readiness for the greatest corn crop
in the history of the state, South Da-
kota State college promises to have
a great football team The approach
of the football season is hailed with
delight by the many lovers of the
sport in this section. Another month
will see training begun in earnest at
State field on the hill. With the assur-
ance hat twelve monogram men four
of whom were picked for the mythical
all-state team last fall, will return this
fall to don moleskins under the men
torship of Coach G.. A. West, pre-sea-
son prospects are most promising. To
add further strength to this formidable
nucleus, there will be eight Of last
years second string men back in suits
again, assuring a squad Of experienced
material that will strike fear into most
football camps in this section.
The only disappointment in the out
look SO far for the coming season is
the loss of Willadsen, the 160-pound
choice second as half back on last
years allstate eleven, who with two
years experience, will be forced to re-
main on the side lines because of a re.
cent surgical operation.
States noteworthy "stone WALL OF
last season remains almost intact with
Captain Powers, a veteran of two sea-
sons. playing the pivot position. Radi-
ating from him will be Simons, Bach
man or Smith as guards, Salisbury at
left tackle, Lee G.. Thompson, Carey
or Landers to fill the opposite tackle
and end positions. Back of Captain
Towers Johnson, a quarter back or
two years experience will direct the
machine. Roberts and Thune will make
up the wings of the backfeld.
The only missing cog in this ready
made machine is a full back who must
have the speed of Roberts and Thune
and the ability to plug the gaps which
the veteran line can be depended upon
to open up. Helgerson, fullback on the
scrub" eleven last year seems the
most likely candidate in the field thus
far and it is upon him that Coach West
will turn his heavy artillery.
With such a team in view State has
lined up one of the heaviest schedules
in her history. The eason starts with
a game OF the Brookings field against
Northern Normal on October 8. The
following week the team will meet
their most formidable opponent, the
University Of Wisconsin, at Madison.
Another game will be played on the
home field when Huron college comes

The light of Brookings was not hid
den under a bushel last week, but
cleaned forth brightly through the
columns of newspapers of the editors
who were in attendance at the sum
mer meeting of the South Dakota
Press association in this city August
IL, II and Is. The many good things
they say makes every Brookings citi.
zen blush with pride and feel happy
that the visiting editors were able
to enjoy themselves so well during
their stay. Listen to what the editors
says about Bookings, State college
and the convention which was held
here.
President d. c. Trippler in the Ca
nova Herald says: The people of
Brookings, the Commercial Club and
the Rotary Club, cooperating with the
officials of the State college, certainly
did themselves proud in entertaining
the members of the South Dakota
Press association who held their sum
mer meeting in the college city last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The
meeting was one of the best attended
ever held, the entire party numbering
considerable over a hundred and fifty
including editors, their wives, daugh-
ters and other relatives. 1t seemed
that everyone in Brookings was con.
ually looking for an opportunity to do
something for the visitors and our stay
was certainly one of real pleasure.
Welcome signs greeted us in the
shop windows everywhere and coming
us that the welcome was not super.

of us who made our first visit there

CUT RATES ON LIVE STOCK

From Washington, ID. c., We learn
that Senator Sterling has been ad-
vised by the Interstate Commerce
Commission Of a report just handed
down by the commission in which il
holds that while rates on livestock
are not from a transportation stand
point unreasonable, certain readjust-
ments should be made by the rail
roads. The following quotation is
made from the commissions report:
Having in mind the present value
of livestock, and other factors, it is
our view that under present condi.
tons the carriers should themselves
reduce all livestock rates in western
territory, except those on horses and
mules, which are higher thar so cents
per hundred pounds and that this re-
duction should be made to the basis
of 80 per cent of the present rates
but not less than so cents per 100
pounds.
No order will be entered at this
time, and the record will be held open.
Rates in conformity with the sugSes-
tions contained herein may be pub
lished to become effective on not less
than five days notice"
From a brief examination of the
freight tariffs it is found that using
Chicago as a base, the rates on hogs
f,Ar, oil nnintr IN Snnth Vlnlntn a yr
now higher than so cents, with the
exception Of a few points in a strip
about 25 miles wide lying on the
eastern border. If the railroads carry
out the declaration of the commission,
reductions will result ranging from
III cents to 20 cents per 100 pounds
in the rates on hogs from South Da-
kota to Chicago. On cattle, the re-
auctions will apply from the entire
state other than a strip in the eastern
part about IS miles wide and such
reductions will range from ~ cents
to Is cents per 100 pounds. Using
Belle Fourche as an illustration, the
present rates on cattle and hogs to
Chicago are 74R cents and 81 cents,
respectively, and the proposed rates
will be 59h and 77k respectively,
which rates in each case represent
a reduction of 20 per cen under the
present rates and result in rates which
are very nearly the same as the rates
which were in effect previous to the
general increase in August, 1920. In
other words, from the western part Of
South Dakota practically the entire
increase Of August, 1920, will be elimi-
mated of the proposed rates are made
effective in accordance with the com
missions declaration.

ONE OUT OF A THOUSAND

One bushel of corn out of every
thousand bushels raised in South Da-
kOta is what the Near East Relief is
asking farmers of the state to give
as a sacrifcial offering to the starving
populations in Asia Minor. One bushel
of wheat out Of every 400 bushels pro-
duced in the state will more than give
the $4,000 bushels which the state or
ganization has been asked to secure
before October 1. These figures are
based On last years production record.
County organizations are rapidly be-
ing set up under the dierction Of Mrs
Grace Reed Porter, state director OF
the relief organization, and a state
grain committee les being appointed to
supervise the campaign by which South
Dakota Is expected to collect a total
of 100, 900 bushels of corn and SO, 900
bushels of wheat to be manufactured
into foodstuffs for shipment to the
starving.
The food products manufactured
from this grain will be packed In
cloth sacks and will be labeled, "The
Gift Of South Dakota Farmers to the
Near East" The food value Of these
corr and wheat products will reach
the suffering at the least possible loss

A A MEAN TONGUE

1t cost Mrs. Linwood Hum, colored
matron who resides in the rooms over
Means & Sanders pool hall, forty dol
lars and costs to have her little say
so Tuesday evening to the party Of
men who were in the pool hall at that
time. The trouble started shortly
after the supper hour when Mrs. HUM
came tearing down from upstairs in a
rage and apparently under the influ.
nee of some drug. She entered the
pool hall and started to tell all the
men just about what she thought Of
them in no uncertain terms. Those
present say it vas the most violent,
vilest, and vitriolic exhibition of pro-
family and o~bscenity they ever heard.
The police were called and she was
taken into custody. She plead guilty
to a charge of disorderly conduct and
the use of vulgar and obscene lam
gauge and was fined by Justice B. D..
Moore. 1t is not known where the
woman obtained the drug which set
her off on this rampage but the fact
that the Office of DR.. C.. J. Engelson
vas robbed Monday noon of a supply
Of narcotic drugs is considered to be
a contributing factor in the case. The
city authorities will doubtless decide
that the Hunn's are undesirable citi
zens and will be asked to take their
leave from the city.

TEsTlFIEs BEFORE COMMISSION

NJ. r. Benedict, formerly connected
with the extension division at State
college, but now secretary of the South
Dakota Farm Bureau federation, passed
through Dookings last evening on the
train returning from Washington, d.
c., where he was an important witness
in testifying before the Interstate Com.
merce Commission which is hearing
testimony to show cause for reductions
in western freight rates on grain
products and hay.
Mr.. Benedict cited as illustrations,
Bon Homme county, Fall River coun-
ty, Butte county. Hughes county and
Codington county, as representing all
sections of the state, and showed heavy
carry overs in each of these counties.
He submitted statements from grow
ers and others that shipments from
these counties would be considerably
increased by reduction of freight
rates.
There was considerable questioning
from the commissioners as TO h eff.
feet on the state of conditions con.
tinue as at present and the probable
effect on the volume of business Of
the railroads. Mr.. Benedict stated
that the railroads of that country
country could not be operated profit
ably with a very much smaller volume
of business of farm products and farm
supplies.
"The farmers of South Dakota have
gone as far as possible in reducing
operating expenses and have debated
costs more than any other industry"
a question from Commissioner Lewis
as to whether he thought the railroads
of South Dakota could afford to oper.
ate on lower rates, Mr.. Benedict stated
that the farmers had debated their
operation costs very much more thar
the railroads or any other industry
sity approach the problem from the
same angle. He also showed that the

interest on Indebtedness, is higher than
the present prices received for these
products.

M'kNIGHT FAMILY REUNION

Quite a notable family gathering was
held at the home of c.. w. Mcknight
Of this city OF Sunday afternoon,
August 20, at which time about seventy
relatives assembled. Three sisters,
FIVE brothers with their husbands and
wives, together with sons and daugh-
tiers and grandchildren made a lively
crowd. The occasion was in honor of
three cousins. Will, Werner and Walter
Boyd from Eleva, Wis. who have been
spending a few days visiting here.
Some Of the cousins had not met since
1868 when the Mcknight family left
Wisconsin for the west so the occasion
was indeed interesting. A bountiful
picnic lunch was supplied by the ladies
to which all did ample justice. 1t was
to be regretted that a few members of
the family who could not be present,
being away from home at the time,
with the exception Of three or four all
those present were related either by
blood or marriage.

WIN OVER COlMAN

Playing a very good brand of ball
B%rookings won over the fast Colman
team last Sunday at Lake Campbell
by a score of 9 to 8. Lee brothers
formed the battery for Captain Waltz's
aggregation, while Entringer brothers
Of Colman were pitted against them.
The score stood 4 to 8 up to the eighth
inning when Brookings ran in five
scores. Pogue was a heavy hitter and
a feature player on the bill, pounding
out a three-bagger and two doubles.
Chas. Lee didn't do much worse with
two nice two-base bingles and a single.
Colman %garnered four hits and pulled
FIVE errors. Bookings got ten hits
and made seven errors.
"Cornell's hitless wonders" went up
against Elkton last Friday evening at
Elkton and from reports received here
Brookings emerged with the lean end
Of the core. The details Of the game
