BASKETBALL LOOKS GOOD

Prospects for a basketball team that
will make a record equal or better
than States great football team is
promising as p%racticing gets under
way at the State college gym. While
the season will not get under way
until after the holidays, Coach Yves:
has a pair of opening games with
Sioux Falls college next Friday and
Saturday, December 16 and II. 1t is
probable that the team will make a
trip during the Christmas vacation the
same as last year.
With the exception of Greek Willad'
sen, all Of last years star q%uintette
are busy polishing up for the coming
season. Captain Thune, ex-Captain
Carey, Johnson and Thompson are the
veterans around whom Coaches Yves
and Enke are building their squad
Three of these men have been on the
all state team for the past two years
There is also a wealth Of new material
to pick from. Owens, Schultz, Sea
man, WEIGH and Roberts are strone
bidders for berths on the first team
Besides this formidable array, there
are abut thirty other candidates eager
to develop into basketeers of varsity
caliber and are working out consist
emily, as well al taking part in the
interclass games.

PEACE EXPECTED
SAYS PRESIDENT
ARMS FARLEY WILL MAKE GREAT
WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENT
HARDING STATES
BIG FOUR ALLIANCE NOW PROPOSED
Four Big Powers Would Agree To
Consult Each other Before
Declaring War.

A most gratifying accomplishment
is not improbable as an outcome of
the conference on the limitation of
armanments, was the promise made
by President Harding in his opening
address to the new session of con
gress in Washington Tuesday. The
presidents address was vigorously APP
plauded and sounded an encouraging
note to the public who are a~nxiously
awaiting the settlement of difficulties
at the arms parley.
Recent developments in the confer
ence have affected largely the prob
lens in the Orient. Concessions Of a
generous nature have been given to
China to insure their territorial integ-
rnty, and Japan has been induced to
give up a number of points which they
formerly insisted IN.
The latest suggestion contemplating
an entente to include the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and
France has developed to the point
where tentative treaty draft is under
consideration in some quarters, al
though it has not been formally pre-
sented to the conference.
The proposed undertaking is de-
signed to do away with the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance and proposals have
gone to Japan for remuneration of that
alliance if the new agreement should
be contaminated.
AS now under negotiation the agree
ment is to be limited to the Pacific
islands. Under the tentative proposals
each of the powers would agree to con-
suit each other before going to war on
any differences that might arise relat-
ing to those islands.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with Notifications
in the Pacific nor with questions relat
ing to the island of zap. Neither would
it deal with any matters affecting
China but only those relating to islands
of the Pacific.

JOE DUNLOP ELECTED PRESIDENT

Tom Maher, who has faithfully
served as the president of the Brook
ings County Farm Bureau during the
past year, asked the general board at
the meeting December / to elect some
one else for 1922. Mr. .Maher felt ne
could not give the time it requires.
However, the general board insisted
that he remain on the executive com
mittee and elected him a v~ice-presi-
dent. There probably has not been
a farmer in South Dakota who has
done as much for the Farm Bureau
as Tom Maher. He has fought for the
principles of the Farm Bureau ever
since it started, and from the sup
port the Farm Bureau is receiving to-
day the work has been mighty worth
while.
q Joe Dunlop of Brookings township,
was elected to succeed Tom Maher as
president of the Brookings County
Farm Bureau. Mr.. Dunlop has always
been a leader for the county organiza'
ton. His unanimous election is proof
that he has the support of the farm,
ers. He is one of the most substan,
tial farmers in the county, and this
should help materially to continue the
high standard Of the work.
G.. H. Koerper of Trenton township
was elected treasurer to succeed A
L. Squirting Of Aurora township. Ray
Barnett was again elected as secre
tary and Roy Ullman Of Alton was
reelected as v~ice-president.
When farmers like those on this
executive board give their time with
out remuneration the Farm Bureau
has the best chance possible for de
velopment and success.

HONORS THICK ON
ALL STATE TEAM
SEVEN JACkRABBlTS GET PLACE
ON MYTHICAL ALL STAR
AGGREGATION
STATE COLLEGE OUTcLSsES THEM ALL
WEIGH, Roberts, Schultz, Thompson,
Salisbury, Smith and Bach
man Are Chosen.

Five men. all Of them members of
the powerful West-Enke football ma
chine from State college, were given
positions o. the all-state eleven by a
unanimous vote of the Ave coaches
and officials participating in the annual
selection conducted under State COL
lege auspices. Seven State men placed
on the mythical eleven, as did six Uni
versity of South Dakota men and one
member of the Columbus college team.
The selection was made by C. A.
West, State college,; J. w. Stewart,
University of South Dakota; Jacob
Speelman, Northern Normal and In
dustrial school; Howard Wood, Sioux
Falls; and Bill Brennan, Lake Preston.
West, Stewart and Speelman are ath-
letic directors in the institutions
named, Wood Is Sioux Falls high
school coach and college game official,
and Brennan Is called throughout the
football season to oficiate at college
games.
Little difficulty was experienced by
the coaches and officials in filing the
backfeld positions. WEIGH, Roberts
and Schultz were outstanding in their
respective positions. The only ques-
ton was the selection of the other
half back. Flynn OF Columbus college
made a decided impression on two OF
the judges and was given as their
choice for the position. Metzger OF
the University was named by two
others and Thune of State secured
n vote.
The left end of the line gave very
little trouble. Thompson and Sails
bury of State, at end and tackle re-
specially, were given the unanimous
votes of the five judges. The guard
positions caused the most trouble.
Bachman, Soper and Saunders were
each given two votes. which made
them high men for the two positions.
For the right tackle position, Smith
of State and Lund of University were
each given two votes and Horkey Of
University got one vote.
Hengle drew three votes for right
end, Patrick of University got n and
Allison of University one. Sundet Of
State was mentioned as a second
choice for this wing position by n
coach.
Some football followers may ques-
ton the judgment of the coaches and
referee in placing eve State men on
the team. They are reminded that the
WestEnke machine piled UP a total
Of 164 points in the four games with
other South Dakota institutions and
prevented any Of these teams from reg.
istering a SINCE tally against State.
These four South Dakota teams made
a total Of but 10 first downs against
State college.

NEW LIBRARIAN APPOINTED

Abigail Lyon of Davenport, Iowa, has
been appointed city librarian to sue
coed Mrs. J. R. Friday who notified
the board of her resignation Novem-
Der /, to take a position in the Min
neapolis public library. Mrs. John
Thomson will substitute for Mrs. Frid.
ley until the end of the year, when
Miss Lyon is expected to arrive and
take active charge.
The past year has been a very pros.
porous one for the library. Circulation
has increased fifty per cen and it has
increased in usefulness and popularity
along all lines. In one month circula
ton has shown an increase as high
as 100 per cent. In October this year
the circulation of books was 2,019 and
in November it was 2,131. When ono
estops to consider that there are only
about 1000 volumes in the library and
that the population of the city is under
five thousand, this Is an extremely un
usual circulation, that a be equalled
in very few towns in the United States
The circulation last year for the
months of October and November was
1,214 and 1850 respectively. A very
large amount Of reference work wai
done for both high school and. college
students. Besides several donations oi
desirable books from friends. the board
Of trustees has purchased over three
hundred new books during the year
both Of nction and general interest.

REVIVE INTEREST
IN OUR SCHOOLS
EDUCATIONAL WEEK MEETINGS
PROVE PROFITABLE AND
INTERESTING
PRESIDENT FOGHT GAVE FINE ADDRESS
Meetings Are Being Held in Metho-
dist Church Because New
Gym is Unfinished.

The principal events of the week In
Brookings have been the community
meetings held in the Methodist church
in observance of National Education
week, which movement is being fos'
tered and promoted by the National
Educational association and the Ameri'
can Legion, for the purpose Of bring
ing home to the parents, taxpayers
and citizens some Of the pressing
needs and problems of education. Due
to the inability Of the contractors to
complete the new high school gym.
was impossible to hold the meetings
in the gymnasium as planned. All
programs are being held in the Metho-
odist church and the high school OPP
eretta will be staged at the college
auditorium.
At the opening meeting Monday
night DR.. Harold Foght, president of
the Northern Normal and Industrial
school at Aberdeen, gave the princi-
pal address in which he discussed va
rious phases and problems Of educa-
ton. The address was preceded by
a musical program and a number of
readings.
Mrs. j. G. Raak was the first speaker
at the program Tuesday evening, and
gave an intensely interesting talk on
the responsibility of the home in edu-
cation. She traced a large number
Of the troubles in education back to
the parents and the home. To illus
trate her point she chose an apt quo
tation from Josh Billings, IF you want
children to go in the way they should
go, you should go that way a few
times yourself" She recommended
a return to the old fashioned home
discipline and respect for parental Az
thority.
DR.. o. H. Lawrence, post command
er of the American Legion during the
past year, had for his subject, "Edu'
cation for American Citizenship" in
in which he emphasized the need for
training both the alien population and
the growing generation in the princi-
pies of patriotism and good govern
ment. DR.. Lawrence uncovered some
new phases of problems of American
ization for the audience to think
about. Van Fshback, president of the
Rotary Club, gave an ~inspirational talk
on service. The meat of his talk
hinged around the value of education
in building character upon the Golden
Rule, as we'll as training the mind
and hand for business. C. H. Atkin-
son spoke on Business in Education"
taking the place of Attorney w. M.
Cheever, who could not fill his place
on the program on account of illness.
According to Mr.. Atkinson's figures
the cost of education for each pupil
in the Brookings city schools is 1872
per year, which is the average cost
for cities of similar size in South Da-
kota. Musical numbers on the pro-
gram were furnished by the high
school orchestra, the boys glee club,
and the junior high glee club. The
meeting opened with community sing
ing led by Prof. H. L. Kohler.
A community sing will also open the
meeting this evening at the Methodist
church. Mrs. Mabel X. Trooien, DR..
J.. A. Williams, Supt. w. S. Johnson
and DR.. w. E. johnson are the
speakers.
