Defeated 22-0
In Downpour Of Rain

On a wet, slippery field between
showers Of rain, Bookings high school
greatly frightened its hopes for the
state football championship last Fri
day afternoon by defeating the power
full Clark high school team by the de-
cisive score, % to 0. This was one Of
the biggest surprises among the high
school football contests of the week,
for the Clark team had made an en-
yiable record already in the season
and was looked upon as a strong con
tender for the championship. Clark
had tied the Aberdeen team and had
beaten Redtield. The overwhelming
score piled up on them by the Brook
ings team, shows clearly the powerful
calibre Of the Red and Black this year
and at once places them in a rank
with the leading teams of the
state. 1t Is likely that the battle for
state championship will take place in
Brookings on October q, when the
Sioux Falls team meets Brookings on
State field. This game coming just
the day before Hobo day will make
the two state classics almost stimuli
taneOus and should attract great
crowds here for the two days.
The game last Friday was a hard
fought contest with Clark holding the
advantage in weight and experience.
In the first half Bookings was held
without a touchdown, the only score
being a safety for two points in the
second quarter. In the last half, how
ever, Clark weakened noticeably and
the BroOkings backs tore through for
consistent gains. One touchdown was
scored in the third quarter and two
more in the final period. In the tries
for points, two drop kicks were sue
cessful.
agreeable weather but a small crowd
witnessed the game. The slippery
field was a hindrance to fast playing
but the Brookings players seemed bet
ter able to adapt themselves to the
condition Of the field than did Clark.
The evidences or good coaching were
conclusive and Coaches Nicholson and
Wood are to be congratulated on their
successful development Of the Brook
ings team.
This week the team journeys to
Watertown to meet their old rivals
to the north. WATERFOWL has had a
poor start, being without a coach the
early part of the season, and they are
not looked upon as being as dangerous
as in former years. The real climax
of the season will come on October
q, when Brookings battles Sioux Falls
and the coaches and the men on the
team are working hard toward this
event.

N. W. Iowa Conference
Honors Rev. Gardner

Before a crowd Of 1,500 people in
attendance at the Northwest Iowa con
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal
church at Fort Dodge, Iowa last Sun
day morning, the bishop placed his
arm around Rev. j. J. Gardner of this
city, and presented him with a large
bouquet Of roses in honor Of his eighty
second birthday and in tribute to his
long service in the ministry. 1t is
fifty years ago that the N. w. Iowa
conference was organized and the con-
ference last week was made a special
occasion celebrating the fiftieth an
niversary OF the conference. Rev.
Gardner joined the conference in 1884
and has attended every one since that
year, being one OF the oldest members
and holds the longest record Of SER
vice in the Methodist ministry. A
large collection of curios were ex-
hibited at the conference depicting
the great changes which have been
made in the last so years. Mr.. Gard
ner had some very rare books, some
owe 100 years old, in the collection.
1t so happened that Rev. Gardner's
birthday occurred during the confer
ence and the special mark Of honor
mentioned above was bestowed upon
him by the bishop. The bishop de-
scribed at some length and in words of
greatest praise the great service Mr..
Gardner had given to the conference
and since retirement. Following the
service, hundreds of old friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Gardner came forward and
congratulated them.

Leader Outlines
Legion Activity
Commander MacNider AS
serts Veterans are Busy
Combating Evils and
Helping in C Construction.

Editors Note-Hanford MacNider
is known to all Americans as the ac-
tive head of the American Legion. His
war record is a fine one and to that
he is steadily a%ddingSa record for
clean, leadership OF a powerful organ
%ization. The American Legion must
be counted in on every national ac-
tivity or movement. The men OF the
Legion believe in and trust Comman-
der MacNider. AS an American you
can do the same in reading the fol-
lowing:
The guiding motive of the American
Legion is to keep alive at least some
part of the wonderful spirit Of service
that animated everyone in 1917 and
1918. If even a flicker OF that spirit
can be preserved and turned to good
account Legion men feel that their
organization will not have existed in
vain.
The application Of such a spirit of
service to national problems may be
known as Americanism. The Legion
has already succeeded in passing or
is working to Ass in every state,
school laws covering the teaching of
the American constitution. 1t is work
ing to build up in The coming genera
ton vivid realization Of what Amer
lean institutions are and how and
why they should be respected. Many
states already are carrying out in the
schools complete programs written by
the Legion which will inspire a new
kind of citizenship in the years that
are not far away.
The Legion is working actively to
combat radicalism. 1t has taken an
active and very influential stand
against class and sect selishness and
intolerance in every form. The Legion
is working toward the passage OF
sound immigration laws and for adj
equate military and naval defense
for the country.
The Legion's work is very practical
and not visionary and it is local-in
thousands Of American communities
and not merely national. Almost
tNclytlt Oh ilt ll,UUU Legion posts
can show concrete examples of good
work done for the community. Out in
Kansas, a post adopts a Boy Scout
troop; in Wisconsin the Legion stands
sponsor for the education and citizen
ship of an alien who had worn the
American uniform; in Missouri, a post
plants trees on a highway. in New
York, the Legion raises $S5, 900 to
buy a sanitarium for the tubercular
cX-serviCe men. The examples are
myriad.
Then there is the Interallied
Veterans Federation, that was practi-
cally sponsored by the Legion. 1t is
a dream but it is near to coming true
and it's possibilities are ~far-reaching.
The Federation embraces representa-
tives Of ex-service mems organizations
in all the allied countries. 1t aims at
such an interchange Of ideas and such
a preservation OF the spirit Of COM
radeship Of the war, that conflict or
even i'll will between late allies must
be impossible.

HOLD CHAPEL AT DEPOT

The students of State college held
chapel this morning on the platform of
the railway station as a special cere-
mony to the football team who left on
the morning train for Madison, Wis,
to play the University of Wisconsin.
This is the first time in the history OF
the United States, so far as is known,
that a college ever held chapel at a
railway station and it was a most eff
fective and appropriate way of send
ing the football warriors on their way
to victory. The student body paraded
down from the college led by the mil
itary band and the girls band. Stu
dents were all dressed in colored caps

Farm Women Put
Over Big Project
Brookings County Will Have
Home Demonstration
Agent Jointly With Four
Other Counties.

AS a result of the labors Of the wo>
men members of the BrOokings Coun-
ty Farm Bureau, in raising the quota
allotted to this county, a home demon
stration agent Of the extension divis-
ion will spend her time in the farm
communities of this county and four
~neighboring counties who have con
tributed a similar sum. Miss Anna
Streed, a graduate Of the University
of Minnesota, born and raised amid
farm problems, has been chosen home
demonstration agent for this district.
A graphic story Of the struggles
made by the farm women in raising the
sum Of money necessary to ecu
this home demonstration service is
told by the county agent, Ray Barnett:
Several months ago the officers Of
the Home Committee in BroOkingS
county were forced to go out and
spend time, money and patience solic-
iting in order to raise our share of
the quota allotted to Jour counties
who are to maintain the service Of a
Souiilg bCIiloliotl olioj agent JolllllN q.
1t may sound easy to the readers after
the whole thing is in operation, but
to the farm women, the busiest bodies
on earth, it was no snap. They had
to leave chickens, garden, homework,
children and often times what little
social activities they were used to,
behind, in order to put it over, But
the beautiful part Of it vas their will
lingness to put il over. In a Very
short time they raised their share ol
the quota by a commission secured
from the sale of a popular farm mag
azine, The Country Gentleman"

HUTTON DESTROYS 700 BUSHES

The common barberry population OF
South Dakota was reduced by 700
bushes according to a report just sent
to Washington by Lynn ID. Hutton,
state leader OF the United States de-
partment Of agriculture barberry Grad
ication forces.
This, means, plant experts declare,
that there are now 700 fewer centers
OF black stem rust in the state than
there were before. This dreaded
scourge is charged by government sta
tisticians with having destroyed $780,
000, 900 worth Of small grains in seven
Northwestern states in the three-yeal
period, 1921.
In an effort to reduce South Dakota's
share Of this damage government
agents have been instrumental in the
removal Of 43,326 common barberry
bushes which scientists say is the prin-
cipal ource Of rust. Mr.. Hutton is
directing a farm to farm survey which
ultimately will cover the entire state,
So far work has been done in AZ coun.
ties.
Brown county contributed zoe
bushes to the number eradicated in
September. Campbell was second
with 10. In Walworth county, which
previously had been visited, $50 bushes
were found and destroyed. In Faux
81 were removed and in Fall River %
bushes were dug up out Of a list Of So
reported. In addition some $50 sprouts
were grubbed out in places where
bushes previously had been eradicated
in Fall River. Barberries were found
in a total of sixteen counties in Sep.
TENDER, Mr.. Hutton's report shows.

SHARP BREAKS IN WHEAT ON NOTICE
 OF STORAGE ROOM
All Grains Went Off During a Lively Session, While Pro- visions Were Up and
 Down Mostly
By Assoc,ateu Press

Chicago, May 5.--Sharp breaks in the price of wheat took place in read mess to provide temporary emer- gency storage facilities in railroad cars on track here. May delivery was especially weak. The market closed, however, 1as to 3Ac net lower. with May s1.391a to 1.s9% and July s1.24B to $1.25. Corn lost X O Bc to 1A @1asc and oats 3s to %c. In provisions, the outcome varied from unchanged figures to 25c decline.
 In addition to the announcement of steps toward furnishing prac- tically unlimited storage room here, word was received that single elevatox company at Kansas City was loading out 100000 bushels of wheat for Chicago, and that other shipments from Omaha and St. Louis to Chicago were expected. Kansas City shipments of wheat to- day were reported as IFS carloads. ninety percent to Chicago and Oma- ha, 122 carloads mostly to Chicago. A majority of traders apparently adopted the view that too much wheat was coming to Chicago for prices to hold. although vessels here started loading 100000 bushels of wheat today for the east, and fur ther lake shipments from here were looked for.
 Favorable crop reports from the southwest tended also to stimulate bearish sentiment as to wheat. Slow ing down of export demand was ascrlbed to increase estimates of the Argentine exportable surplus De- lveries of wheat here today on May contracts wre 172,20 bushels. and there were receipts of 1S1 carloads.
 Corn and oats declined in value with wheat. Rural offerings of corn to arrive here were somewhat larg- CT
 Provision prices turned downward on account of realizing sales, which more than offset the influence of foreign buying of future deliveries of lard.

RENE WE'D SELLING ON BOTH ACCOUNTS
 CAUSE HES|TANCY
Both Domestic and Foreign Monetary Conditions Help full to Stock Markets
 Constructive Side
By Associated Press

New York, May 5.-Renewed sell ing for both accounts, in which profit taking seemed to be most effective, accounted chiefly for the intervals of hesitancy and comparative dullness manifested by today's stock market.
 Dealings during the early and in- termediate periods were smaller and issues than at any time since last March. The more active pace of the later operations, however, lifted the days total transactions to 1,125,00o shares.
 Oils as group again dominated the list in prominence and strength. mo- tably the secondary domestic shares. High priced oils gave way in the final hour, reacting 1 to points from previous maximums.
 What promised to be formidable setback towards the close was check ed by sudden demand for rails, in- cluding Southern Pacific, New Haven and a few coalers, of which Pitts burg and West Virginia was most conspicuous.
 Tobaccos, textiles, sugar special ties and the local fractions and util- ities were l to 2 up at their best but in many instances these gains were impaired or entirely cancelled. Shippings were under pressure on authoritative statements, which le- preciated rumors of an early resump tion of the divided on Mercantile Ma rine common. Selling of May depart ment stores followed the failure of the directors to declare an expected 'extra dividend"
 Both domestic and foreign mon etary conditions were helpful to the stock markets constructive side. Call loans opened and renewed into next week at Az per cent but drop ped Si2 per cent in the afternoon.
 Exchange on London rose stead fly to 4.44s4 for demand bills, the highest rate for this remittance in more than two years. All continental quotations were better, albeit gains in the allied group were relatively nominal. South American rates hard ened, a belated response to yester- days successful offering of the Bra gillian loan here.
