The Freshmen staged the first act
in their yearly defiance to the mighty
Sophomorcs some time in the dark
hours of Friday night when some
member of the new class climbed up
onto the roof of the gymnasium and
painted the class numerals on it in
white paint.
The appearance Of the hated nu-
merals "26" nearly caused a riot when
seen by the Sophs and they immed-
lately gathered up as many of the
ycarlings as could lie found and made
them climb up and erase their work
under penalty of many threats such
as clipped hair, the cold kenneLec
and the mighty paddle. The threats
seemed to work for by noon the gym
roof was again clear and peace
reisned throughout the second class.
Last year some daring Freshie
risked his life and limb when he or
they climbed to the observatory tow
or and painted '25" in FIVE foot nu-
merals. 1t was impossible for the
second class to have them taken off
until long after dark. when several
Inundated Sophomores gathered to-
cether and with blow torch and
brown paint. erased the work of the
Freshmen. There was considerable
said at the time of the stunt as it
did not seem exactly right to PAINT
any disfgurment on any of the co.
lcgc buildings.

FROM n stog Correspondent


ALBANY, March l5.-The proponents
OF home rule for cities made another
substantial gain to-day when the leg
ls'ative leaders dropped the plan to
put through d bill creating a commits
sion TO study the subject and report
pack to the next Legislature
At the conference Of Republican Sen

Tolbert-u ullman proposal. amending the
state constitution, will be put through.
The objections to the creation Of the
commission TO study tho homo rule
question we're based on tho belief that
tho body would be used q 3 means OF
killing the start which tho Legislature
would make this year in adopting the
Tolbcrt-Ullman amendment. This, tho
opponents Of the commission idea
maintained, could be accomplished bv
the commission reporting back that
the amendment adopted this year was
faulty and recommending that a now
one be adopted. IF this happened it
would mean that Tho cities could not
under the most favorable circum-
stances, have home rule for at least
four years, since an amendment to the
constitution must bc adopted by two

SAME NAME; DIFFERENT THING

Watertown Public Opinion-Special
dispatches from Washington speak
frequently Of activity by the farm
bloc in the matter of pushing rural"
credits" 1t is evident from this dis
lance that a movement of no incon-
siderable force is underway for better
ment OF the financial situation in
which the farmer finds himself. The
voting power of the agricultural states
has been to some extent unified and
co-ordinated until it is able to com
mand more attention from that sec
ton Of congress which halls from the
eastern half of the country and which,
in size, is far more than half Of leg
islative strength. One Of the larger
things this farm representation is
working for is so-called rural credits.
Out here in South Dakota where
rural credits" has become a common
name for a specific and definite oper-
alton in one phase of farm financing,
this talk of rural credits as now be-
ing agitated in Washington is likely
to lead one astray. The rural credits
talked of at the capital is different
from the rural credits so familiar to
South Dakotans in that, while the
state is engaged only in financing
based upon long time real estate mort
cages, the term as used at Washing
ton usually refers to plans for financ-
ing farm operation. The farm bloc is
engaged not SO much in providing a
way for the farmer to finance the
purchase of land as for the financing
of tilling the soil and raising live
stock. 1t is considering intermediate
credits, and naturally has fallen into
the way of calling these rural credits.
One should keep this difference in
mind when reading of rural credits
activity at Washington. The federal
government already has a bureau
which loans some money to farmers
on first farm mortgage. That also is
denominated rural credits. But for
the most part the legislation con
templated by the farm bloc is on cred
its OF the intermediate type. That is
usually what is meant when dis
patches from Washington treat Of rur-
al credits.
