After a disheartening slump, the
Brookings high school basket ball
team has stepped out in sensational
style and won three hard games in
succession, then held the speedy Dead

at the armory last night. IroQuois
high school, having n Of the strong

by the local boys on the armory floor
last Saturday 35 to Is in a fast game.
Bryant was beaten 26 to IL last Fri

with a 25 to II victory. Last night
the red and black warriors met the
Deadwood high school team in one
of the fastest high school games ever
seen On the armory floor and emerged
the loser by a score of "a to II. This
is the first game that BrOokings has
lost on her home floor this season.
In the last half both teams played to
a standstill and it was only the lead
gained in the first half by the Dead
wood team that enabled them to win.
The rapid development of the local
team is nothing short of phenomenal
and fans are now boosting the team
to capture state championship.
The district tournament will be held
in Brookings on March 3 and 4, in
which 16 high school teams from this
district will fight for district cham
pionship honors. The winner of this
tournament will meet the winners

START FARM BUREAU WORK

Eleven townships in Bookings
county have recently promoted some
work in cooperation with the Brook
ings county Farm Bureau, making an
unusually fine record OF progress and
activity for the first month of the
year. Farm Bureau members can
get the most out of the Farm Bureau
by cooperation in their local commun.
ties says Harry j. Boyts, county
agent. The best work the Farm
Bureau can do is to furnish leader
ship to help develop local projects

vaccination demonstrations to be held
the first week in June. DR.. Weaver.
Veterinary Specialist, State College
Extension Division, will conduct these
demonstrations for the Bookings
County Farm Bureau. Small herds OF
hogs will be vaccinated and full details
Of the work explained to the farmers
Of the communities. Hog cholera was
not satisfactorily controlled in the
county the past year, and these dem
onstrations have been arranged to get
started early this year in prevention
Of the disease in some thorough way.
WinsOr township fOstered a live.
stock shipping association, which a
just organized at Arlington. The local
buyer was hired as manager and most
of the farmers are planning to ship
stock through the association. Volga

LITTLE INTERNATIONAL SHOW

Agricultural students at State college
are beginning to fit up their prize live
stock and to collect specimens of their
prize grains to be entered in the sec
ond annual Little International Live
stock show in combination with the
Corn and Grain show which will be
staged at the college February 16. The
management of the show is in the
hands of m professor and two stu,
dents from each of the agricultural
departments.
The Little international this year will
be held in the college armory instead
of the stock pavilion because of the
necessity of accommodating such a
large number of interested students,
business and professional men, and
farmers who are attracted by the
show. A greater number of exhibits
are expected than the 500 which were
entered last year. Only students who
are residents Of South Dakota or in
districts in other states which direct,
ly border South Dakota are eligible for
competition.
Students must have grown all grain
which they enter in the show. The
livestock which will be displayed will
be that raised at the college. the agri-
cultural students being allowed to
select the animals which they wish to
fit and display. Prizes on livestock
this year will not only be given for
the best animal but for the animal
which has been put in the best con
dftion.
A new departure will be a poultry
exhibition for which there will be one
gold medal awarded. Six gold medals
will be given for animal husbandry,
five for agronomy, and in addition rib.
bons will be given on all exhibits.

Beaver Creek and Sioux Falls. He
had been in ar ugly mood all morning

General Gorgas gave the world a
great medical masterpiece of hygienic
control by converting the pestilential
canal zone to one Of the healthiest
places in the world.
The research Investigations made
some years ago by Ricketts, and Wilder
in Mexico revealed that typhus fever
is carried by the body louise. ricketts,
died of typhus during the investiga-
ton. We now know that the disease
is also carried by the Central Ameri-
can woodtick, and the common bed
bug, if such have access to individuals
with the disease. Spotted fever in
man is due to the bite of the Rocky
Mountain tick. The cattle fever in
Texas, carried by the tick, is over
come by dipping the animals and the
selection of certain breedings more
immune to the disease. An example
of disease of trees is found in the
chestnuts which have been killed
throughout large areas Of our country
by injury to the paper bark of the
trees. Slight variations in the chem
istry or taste Of the substance give
immunity; for example, the Japanese
chestnut is free from the disease.
Attention is called to a few Of the
varieties Of disease in the living cells
of plants, animals and man in order
to emphasize the fact that they are
all so much alike; that the diseases
Of man are as preventable as are
greenhouses and gardens and of ami
mails on well managed farms, and that
the economic gain is far greater.
The application of scientific knowl-
EIDE in the war prevented death from
tetanus caused by the contamination
Of wounds, by contact with the richly
MANFRED lands of France and Belgium;
especially prepared serums and anti
toxins were used which furnish the
body with a small amount of materi-
al in the blood, such as is left after
recovery from smallpox, typhoid
fever, measels, or scarlet fever. rend-
ering the patient immune to a second
attack. On the knowledge of how
this is accomplished in the body, and
the manner in which it can be trans
ferred, not necessarily by the indiv.
idual having the disease, is based all
on the preventive treatment of con-
tagious disease; thus measles and
scarlet fever undoubtedly soon will
be classed in this group of unneces-
sary diseases avoidable by vaccina-
ton. The spread of such knowledge
over our country by four million sold
iers will contribute much to the de-
velopment of a campaign for nation
al health. AS the wounds and diseases
of these soldiers were cured they we're
returned again and again to the lines
in order that a military decision
might result. The failure of such
decision has left the world in chaos
for three years. More than 40, 900 of
the physically and mentally best
medical men of our country were in
army medical service; the remaining
two-thirds, many of them old, retired
and poorly equipped for the profess
sion, cared for more than 100, 0OO, 900

Four Rules for
Happy Marriage

CLEVELAND, April 28,--Judge Flor
ence Il. Allen. perhaps Americas most
widely known woman jurist, has four
rules for happy marriage. They are:
l. The wife should have a regular al
Iowance. Money matters cause many
divorces.
.. The husband should make business
partner Of his wife. She should share
his confidence in all matters.
5. The wife should be sympathetic.
7. The wife should never nag her hus-
band She should work with him.
In the last two terms of court Judge
Allen has tried 39T divorce cases. more
than have been tried by any other two
judges here. in the same period.
Amplifying her four rules, Judge Allen
offers some pertinent opinions on the
divorce evil' in America.
"Hasty marriages are the most com
mon cause of divorce. Young people to-
day marry hastily not realizing the
personal responsibility. They are ready
to quit at the first quarrel.
81 recall one divorce petition where the
quarrel was over the naming Of baby.
It was their first quarrel, too. I recon
ciIed them.
women sometimes make the lives OF
their husbands miserable by nagging."
Most divorce laws, Judge Allen be-
lieves, are not too liberal, but are too
literally administered
1.-THE longer a case is pending the
greater chance there Is for a reconcilia-
ton" she declared. "Often when a case
is called l find that the parties are
made up, and don't want separation"
She has reconeiIed i01 couples, and
granted 246 divorces.
