THE SUGGESTION OF STATEHOOD

Mr. Sherman's suggestion that State be established in Alaska to consist of all that ter ritory cast of the 152d longitudinal degree and south of the Arctic Circle is worthy of very serious consideration. His argument in favor of self f-government for Alaska-at least for those parts of Alaska that are most de- veloped-is unanswerable. That Alaska is better prepared to accept the responsibilities of Statehood than were several of the other States at the time of their admission to the Union is certain beyond dispute. As mat ter of principle there are not two sides to the proposition. MT. Sherman has very clearly and very forceably presented the only side there is to it from an American viewpoint and in the light of American history.
 The only questions worthy of consideration are those of eXpediency. Do the people of AL aska want to assume the expense of running a State? Do they like the suggested boundar- ies? Do they believe that campaign for State hood might interfere with the opportunity to get self government through a full Terri torial form of government?
 The populous sections of the First, Third and Fourth Divisions could bear the cost of State government. Of course the State would have to practice economy. It would have to cut the garment to match the cloth The care fuI and conservative business men of the coun- try would have to make serious matter out of their government. When we say "careful and conservative business men' we include all those matter what their vacations might be-men engaged in business, the in dustries and professions and those who labor for wages--who have come to Alaska to make it a permanent home for themselves and 2 permanent theatre for their activities
 There are those who believe the proposed boundary lines could very well be extended to take in the Alaskan Peninsula, the Kusko- kwim Valley and the Iditarod country, where those in the remainder of the suggested State However, the boundary matter is one that could be settled by further action of Congress if the people desired it.
 This brings us to the third question: Would Coneress quickly concede a request for State hood or would it hang fire for years and serve only to prevent the extension of home rule through a full Territorial form of govern ment? Would it be better to ask Congress to grant to the people who reside in the country that it is proposed to erect into State a full Territorial form of government so that we might enjoy self government pending the out come of campaign for Statehood, or to risk a continuation of present conditions while we engage in Statehood campaign9 - Juneau Empire

STATE OF A

The state of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week vas spotted. General trend is
toward betterment but bad weather
and strikes rob movement Of favorable
uniformity. Leadership in improve
ment now rests with iron, steel and
building trades. Rains, snow, cold
weather and flooded streams retard
but do not entirely check spring buy
ing of wearing apparel. Building ma
t~erials, lumber, cement, hardware,
paints, tools, implements and vehicles
note more activity. Southern crop
and trade reports better. Spring
grain crop planting now very late, but
this is not conclusive as to ultimate
small yields. Winter wheat good, ex-
cept in flooded lands and parts Of
southwest. Commodity prices stronger
led by iron, steel and other metals.
Coal strike cause of rise in iron. Food
index unchanged. Money easier. Sc,
Curity market strong after slight sag
Clearings expand. Failures fewer.

Baseball is not dead in Brookings.
suppressed. The hundreds of fans in
Brookings will welcome the news that
a city baseball league was organized
last Thursday. Each ward will have a
team Of young boys, who will be
coached under the direction of the
ward managers. The managers in the
first ward are /. j. Bibby and Henry
ArneSon; in the second ward, Geo. ID.
Cole and w. II. Walters; third ward,
r. A. Turner and John Sponsler;
fourth ward, Lyle Waltz and K. h.

residents Of the ward should be eleg-
ible to play in the league. The first
game will be played May 2 Games

II game a week. The games will
be played on the fair grounds and the
managers decided that all spectators
would be assessed one dime admission

support the boys are given. Lovers
of the game will appreciate a good
close game between two Of these ward
teams just as much as between
strange town teams. A good strong
ward spirit should be fostered and the
team should represent the best that
there is within the ward.

DEBATE MICHIGAN AGGIES

The first ~nO-decision debate ever
held in the city took place last We'd
nesday evening at the college audi
forum when the State college team
debated Michigan Agricultural college
on the question, Resolved: That the
closed shop should be established in
American industry. This was the
closing debate of the season. The
Michigan debaters were all expert
enced debaters and polished speakers.
In the opinion of the audience they
had slightly the best Of the State col
lege debaters, but this was largely be-
cause of their greater experience. The
State team was composed of Miss
Ruth Haywood, Milton Kuhlman and
Elger Thune, Miss Haywood being the
only one who had had previous exper-
fence on the platform.
At the close of the debate the aud
fence was given the opportunity to
ask questions Of the speakers and this
feature proved to be very interesting.

MEET HERE NEXT YEAR

The 1928 convention Of the CONNER
cial club secretaries Of South Dakota
will be held in Bookings, according to
a decision made at the convention of
that body held in M%obridge last week.
There was a large attendance at the
MObridge meeting and a splendid pro-
gram of entertainment and business
was provided. James f. Brooke, sec
rotary of the Pierre Commercial club,
was reelected secretary Of the asso-
citation, while Chas. McCaffree of Sioux
Falls was chosen president. Mr..
Brooke is a we'll known former resi-
dent Of Brookings and the meeting
here next year will doubtless give him
and Mrs. Brooke an opportunity to
visit their old home town.

SCHOOL FOR NEW CITIZENS

The American legion will open their
night school next Monday for the 20
foreigners, who are candidates for
United States citizenship at the June
term of circuit court, according to the
announcement made by DR.. e. II.
Whitehead, post commander. The
school will be under the direction of
Prof. c. F. Wells and Prof. G.. F.
Walters and classes will be held each
Monday evening at the administration
building at State college. instruction
will be given to cover all questions
asked by the government examining
officer when the class is examined be-
fore the court. There is no other way
available for the class in naturaliza,
ton to receive this important instruc-
ton and they feel grateful to the
American legion for providing it to
them without cost. According to a
new ruling Of the government, those
who fail in the examination next June
must wait a full year before taking
another examination.

the level of farm wages for the year
states Mr.. Benedict, but there seems
to be comparatively little tendency to
boost wages, although several coun
ties report more OF less scarcity of
farm help, at least temporarily.
Farm machinery costs are some
what lower, and board of help should
be a trifle lower. On the other hand,
horse labor will be a little more eX-
pensive, as the cost of feed is a con-
siderable element in this cost and
practically all feeds are highed than
last year. 1t would look as though
acre costs would be likely to run near
ly the same as last year, but possibly
a little higher. Bushel costs for the
small grains should run lower in this
as last years yields were so
much below average that chances
would be considerable against a repe-
tition of such extremely low yields.
Corn, on the other hand, yielded above
the average last year, and in fact, has
for three or four years, so it would not
be surprising to see some decline in
its yield"

FARM BUILDING ACTIVITY

That there will be some activity
this year along the line Of erecting
farm buildings is indicated by the
number of requests received by the
State college extension service for
farm building plans.
in that connection, there is one
thing above all others worth remem-
bering,' says R. l.. Patty, specialist
in agricultural engineering, land that
is that your building is no stronger
than the weakest joint in it. Archi-
tects know that every joint of the self
supporting roof of the plank barn
frame should be tied together with
braces and well nailed. Beware of
the frame designed by a man who has
not figured the wind and snow load
on It. And beware of the carpenter
who SCOTS at the standard architects
frame. This frame is figured with a
uniform strength so that one link is
as strong as another. 1t doesn't pay
to save $50 in bracing a roof that
fails in 20 to 25 years when it could
be made to stand 40 or so years or
more for the extra money.

GIRLS BAND PLEASES

Unfolding their successes Of the
last four years the Girls band of State
college, under the direction Of Prof
! Arthur M. Johnson, gave a very fine
concert at the college auditorium last
Friday evening. There was a good at
tendance and each member was APP
plauded generously.
The program was CAREFUL selected,
and the work of soloists was a big
feature of the evening. The solists
were Helen Peddicord, soprano; Marie
Hanson, trombone; Marjorie Cole,
marimbaphone, and Arthur M. John
son, saxophone. The accompanies
were Hazel Rink, Verna Koenig and
Dorothy Herman.
The most popular Of the band selec-
tions We're Gate City March," by
Weldon, a very characteristics medley
of southern songs, in which the from
bones played a solo part. THE Boy
and the Birds" by Hager, a character
istic number, was very favOrably re-
ceived by the audience.
Marie Hanson in her trombone solo,
The Message" a concertino for
trombone by Brooks, showed evcep-
tional ability as a soloist. She re-
sponded with an encore which was
heartily ~applauded. Helen PeddICord
was unable to appear in her solos as
announced. Instead, she, together
with Professor Kohler, baritone, rend-
cred the duet, Graceful Consort from
the Creation by Hayden, in a very
pleasing manner The neutrality-suspicious.
solo, William Tell Overture" by Ros-
sim, played by Marjorie Cole, was very
well received. Her encore was equal,
ly successful. Professor Johnson, in
his saxophone sole "Lenette,' a waltz
caprice by H. Benne Henton, displayed
his usual ability as a high class
musician and was heartily encored
and played Laughing Gas" He also
responded to the second Moore.
AS a mark Of appreciation for his
urItiring efforts to make the band a
success, the girls presented Professor
Johnson with a leather portfolio at
the conclusion of the program.

SEEDING NEARLY FINISHED

The farmers have been making
rapid progress with their spring work
in the fields the last two weeks and
the small grain seeding is practically
complete in all parts Of the county,
according to reports received from
various sources. The condition Of the
soil is good everywhere and there is a
favorable prospect for a better small
grain crop than has been raised for
several years. A little moisture is
needed in some sections which will
undoubtedly be supplied with the usual
spring rains.
Winter wheat and rye came through
the winter in good shape and the crop
will be the best in years. Preparations
for the planting Of the huge corn and
potato crop OF BrOOkings county is
now occupying the chief attention of
the farmers.

FARM WAGES NO HIGHER

Present prices and costs do not

farmers hiring much labor at higher
wages than last years prevailing
scale, is the opinion Of NJ. r. Benedict,
OF this city, who is in charge Of the
cost of production and price investiga,
tional work in South Dakota.
Farm wages averaged $3.50 pei
month last year in this state, as com
pared with SIS for 1920 and S27 for
1910. 1T is a little early to determine
