FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

With only a little more than three
weeks left before the opening of the
city schools, interest is nce more
turning toward the coming school
year. A long, hard football schedule
has been arranged with five big
games to be played on the home field.
From all indications at present the
coming year looks most promising in
al. fields as we'll as athletics.
Superintendent S. w. Johnson
states that teachers are writing for
information about living arrange
ments and about the courses of study.
Students are inquiring about the
opening date and the scnool board are
moving the repairing and cleaning to
a rapid conclusion. The outlook is
promising for readiness September
4th for the new school year. Many
candidates for the football squad are
interested in the full schedule which
is arranged for this fall. Contracts
are signed with the following teams:
Sept. 30-De Smet at De Smet.
Oct. CLARK at Brookings.
Oct. 14-Watertown at Watertown.
Oct. 21-Flandreau at Flandreau.
Oct. 27-Sioux Falls at Brookings.

GROW CONTROL NEEDED

THE problem of the crow in South
Dakota is one of control and not
destruction" is the opinion of e. c.,
O'Roke, assistant professor Of zoo
logy at State college. Scare-crows,
shot guns and the destruction of
nests about the premises are usually
the best Of controlling crows
when they become tests about the
farm site. In the fall organized crow
hunts will help eliminate the crow
from the corn fields.
THE status of the crow is difficult
to outline" says Professor O'Roke.
Like other birds they have their
good points as well as their bad ones.
Normally crows feed all summer up
on insects and a great variety of
food. In the fall when they are flock
ed together they eat hundreds of
bushels Of corn from the standing
fields. But perhaps the greatest dam
age that the crow does in this state
is to kill young poultry to feed itself,
while at the same time it is feeding
its nestlings with a choice assert
ment OF cut worms. 1t is also true
that the rob birds nests Of
eggs and young. Robins suffer in
particular when outside the protec-
ton Of towns and habitations. This
habit seems disdainful and yet we
may perhaps thank the crow for pre-.
venting the robins from becoming too
numerous. Robins feed on ground
beetles which in turn feed on cater
pillars which are injurious to us.
1.-THE fact is that biological balance
in nature is so intricate that one can
hardly say which species Of living
things should be destroyed and which
should not"

CHANGE KING OF TRAILS

A change in the route Of the King
Of Trails between Dell Rapids and
Brookings has been announced by
Ernest A. Pratt of Parsons, Kansas,
general manager Of the trail, who
has been in South Dakota for a con-
ference with good road boosters. The
change which is effective at once,
moves the trail over to the old Red,
White and Blue highway which is
favored by most travellers on account
of its better condition. especially
during wet weather. The trail, as it
is marked at present goes from Dell
Rapids through Colmah and then to
Brookings by way Of Lake Campbell.
The new route goes straight north of
Dell Rapids, without turning at the
lone tree, on to Brookings striking
no towns the entire distance. New
markings changing that portion of
the trail will be put on this month.

The Children's Bureau Of the De-
partment of Labor is at work on the
whole child welfare problem in a big
way. 1t is finding the facts upon
which intelligent and effective means
for solving the problem can be bas-
ed. Not alone the infant but the
growing child mast be safeguarded
and fostered, and the Children's Bu-
reau is delving into all matters per-
tanning to the welfare Of children and
child life among all classes Of our
people. The field is wide and the
task is vast. Cooperation by all the
people is vital to the success of the
undertaking.
Children in industry are n of our
greatest problems. Once more the
Supreme Court Of the United States
has found a federal law designed to
bar immature children from factory
employment unconstitutional. Criti-
cism of the courts will not solve the
problem. l am convinced that the
American people will find a way to
promptly make effective their will so
often expressed. Through state legis-
lation, or other means we will be able
to balk the constituencies employer
who would build his profit on the la
Dor of little children.
But fundamental in our movement
for building up a better next genera
ton is the problem Of education.
America has developed a great educa-
tional system, probably the greatest
in the world. But a short time ago
the man who could read and write
was looked upon as educated. Today
there are few homes in the country
where Shakespeare and some of the
other classic writer's of English are
not studied and appreciated. Our
high schools of today in many cases
offer curricula that compare favor
ably with those of the colleges of a
generation or two ago. We have made
tremendous strides in education, but
they have all been In the same direc-
ton. Our educators have been i'm
bued with the classical to the exclu-
sion Of the practical. We are today

yet the order has grown and increas-
ed in numbers, and it's quiet and earn
est influence for good, continues to
support fundamental principles Of
truth, justice and liberty, moulding
public opinion for good government,
progress and peace of the human race.
In this country our government is
n which is most responsive to the
public will, or public opinion, and
whatever influences and moulds pub
lie opinion, makes the laws into which
they become ~crystalized. Govern
ments are made for men-and not
men for governments, and our govern
ment is what we make it.

Of men-no nation or group of ma
tons has been found wise enough or
strong enough to control the situation.
Efforts have been made and are being
made to heal the worlds wounds.
Serious problems confront us, not
from foreign invasion but from in
ternal disturbances and dissension.
The fires of hatred and selfishness
kindled and augmented by the war
have not been entirely quenched-
class is arrayed against class with a
t%ierceness that disturbs transporta-
ton, interferes with industry and
threatens our coal supply.
Designing emissaries from foreign
lands have contributed much to this
.deplorable condition, advocating here
sizes and false, unsound doctrines that
have already destroyed Russia-so
rich in her natural resources-but
now bankrupt, famine stricken and
rotting at the core. The ~fallacies of
communism and Of absolute socialism
have been repeatedly exposed but If
men would be guided by reason and
precedent instead of class prejudice,

should be sufficient to lead to the re-
lection Of these unsOund and danger.

Bolshevism, communism and anarchy
thrive in the soil of Ignorance, Tyr

no place in our nationa life save as a
danger signal.
The Masonic Fraternity exerts and
a WELD a great stablizing influence
in these days when the world around
us is rocking. 1t might be said that
the world today is in a fluid state
most susceptible to being moulded
through the influence Of public op-
inion, and upon the Masonic Frater-
nifty and similar organizations rests a
great responsibility to take advantage
Of this opportunity for directing public
opinion into the channels which shall
bring peace, prosperity and happiness
to the human race.
In conclusion | will say that the
fondest hope for this occasion in which
we Of the BroOkings Commandery can
indulge, is hat your visit here will be
as pleasant to you, as it has to us.

A VISIT TO OAKLAND

On Wednesday, June IA, the Shrin-
Oakland, across the bay. The town
had been converted into a vertiable
city of the desert and our welcome
was a most cordial one. 1t was here
that 1 really enjoyed the climate Of
California, it was so different from
that in Frisco or Long Beach, and
while those in the parade imagined it
was hot was revealing in the delight
fully warm sun and clear atmosphere.
There was the usual parade of
course, with the bands, patrols and
chanters. Never had Oakland's
thousands seen the like before. Mo-
manned Temple Of Peoria, Ill. was
there with it's nationally known
camel, a real live one. Morocco
Temple from Jacksonville, Fla. ex-
hibited a huge alligator in a cage
drawn by a colored attendant and you
may be sure it was a whole circus for
the young people as we'll as some Of
the older ones.
l. udu d IlOSL ucllS l. IluC III dllu
about the city, got a fine view of the
bay and enjoyed a real fish dinner.
When l got back to Frisco that night
and was ready to retire, which l must
say was not very early, 1 didn't know
| was sc tired.
To make a long story short l will
say that during my stay l visited
many points of interest such as the
Preside, the aviation field, golf links,
Twin Peaks, the Cliff House, Sutro
Heights and bathing beach and in
Guiding Golden Gate Park. The lat
ter is by far the largest and finest
park | have ever been in. They told
me that many wealthy citizens Of
San Francisco had left large fortunes
for the identifying and upkeep of this
wonderful park.
In my trips across the bay l got
a good view Of AlcatraZ Island with
it's huge prison walls and large build
ings as we'll as Goat Island where is
located Uncle Sans Naval Station.
l visited the old quarter known as
the Barbary Coast, famous in song
and story, and the Bologna Restaur-
ant down in the Bohemian quarter
which, for a quarter of a century or
more, was the resort Of poets, artists
and newspaper men as well as people
of note from every part of the world.
Jack London, We were told, formerly
made this his favorite place of re-
sort.
We were taken for a drive through
Burlingame where the m~illionaires
and wealthy business men Of San
Francisco make their homes. On one
occasion we enjoyed a drive through
the university grounds at Berkeley
and stopped at the famous Greek
Theatre where pictures were taken
of our little party. This is an open
air theatre built entirely of concrete,
tiers of seats raising one above the
other give a very large seating cap
acity. 1t Is built in the form of an
ampitheatre one side being reserved
for the stage. The trees and dense
foliage make a beautiful setting and
together with the starry decked heav-
ems for a canopy it forms an ideal
place for the presentation of the old
time Greek and Shakesperean plays.
Next week I shall endeavor to give
you some notes made as l left Frisco
on my way home over the Western
Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande.
