troll of a commission consisting OF
three members, to be known as the
South Dakota hydro-electric commits
sion. This commission is to be ap
pointed by the governor. The project
will be financed by the sale of bonds OF
the state. to be issued at such times
and in such amounts as the governor
may deem expedient, provided that
bonds shall not be sold in excess of
5000, 600 until contracts have been Sc
cured for the sale of not less than 3d.
600. 900 kilowatt hours of current. The
bonds are to bear interest not exceed
ing 5 per cent. Should the net earn
ings Of the plant, after 10 years ex-
piration, be insufficient to provide an
adequate sinking fund for the retire
ment of the bonds, a tax levy is au-
thorized for hat purpose.
The cost Of constructing such a plant
as is contemplated, it is estimated, will
be from SIG, 000, 900 to ~ $1,000, 900. Ac-
cording to estimates prepared two
years ago, when the project was under
discussion, the state of South Dakota
consumes annually about 35,000,0 900
kilowatt hours Of current. at an ex-
penditure Of Sc, 900, 900. The Mobridge
site will develop, the engineers esti-
mate, 10000 horse power and $1,000
900 kilowatt hours of current per an
num-.
Proposals to utilize the water power
of the Missouri river in the n
contemplated by the hydro-electric act
have been discussed in South Dakota
for a number of years. The sponsors
for the project assert that it is entire
ly feasible, that it will be possible not
only to develop an unlimited amount
of electrical energy, but to transmit
and sell it at a profit. Such objection
as has been made to the undertaking
has not questioned the feasibility of
the project SO much as it has question
ed the wisdom Of the state engaging in
a project of This sort. Should not
undertakings of this kind, the oppon-
ents of the plan suggest, be left to pri-
vate enterprise? That is the question

be called upon to decide.
If the people of South Dakota shall
approve the act, they will, to a certain
extent, be breaking new ground. The
Harvesting of a river like the Missouri
in the ronsher mountainous country
farther west presents no untried en-
cheering problems. In a country like
South Dakota, however, an entirely
different engineering problem is pre-
sented. 1t has been thoroughly con
sidered by competent Engineers, it
should be said, and they have pro-
nounced the project practicable and
workable. 1t Is needless to say that
the construction and successful opera
ton of a hydro-electric plant by the
state OF South Dakota would supply
tremendous impetus to further devel-
opment of the water power of the Mis-
souri, river at other points. With
more of this white coal available, we
would not car quite SO much whether
the coal miners strike or work.

the end that all who produces may
secure a fair share of the results Of
their labor and investment. All of
these things a college education in
agriculture will apply to the earnest
student.
There are more opportunities in
agriculture in South Dakota than In
any other line Of endeavor, for the
business of producing food for human
beings will never go out of style.
The state and community give sub
stantial recognition to real men who
know the facts of agriculture and who
Are willing to work. and 1t is the SER

such men that will prevent the

ANSWER TO COLLEGE QUESTION

In answering the question, What
shall l take in college?" the recent
high school graduate should con-
slider his W opportunities and what
education may enable him to do with
his life, suggests Prof. J.. G.. Hutton
Of the State college agronomy de-
partment.
There are many farm boys in
South Dakota who have learned
much Of the practical side of agri-
culture" says Prof. Hutton. Their
eighteen or more years IN the farm
have taught them much concerning
the worlds greatest industry. They
are we'll started in a business.
MANY of these young men in the
not far distant future inherit land
and the business of food production.
Many of these inheritances will be
valued at tens or hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars and will command
the ability and attention Of big men.
ut is safe to say that if a young
man knew that he was to inherit a
mSTCdHtiiO OuoilCoo Va hiui Al
business of the value of the average
South Dakota farm he would prepare
himself and manage it and, moreover,
his father would use every effort in
assisting him to secure the necessary
training.
at is not strange, therefore, that
so many farm boys, knowing the
great responsibilities in the manage
ment of land will one day be theirs,
prepare themselves for other posi-
tons? Is it not equally strange that
parents of farm boys so often fail to
encourage their sons to prepare them
selves to conserve the fortune which
they will n day bequeath to them?
"The soils and crops and livestock
industries of the nation need the best
trained minds. The successful far
mer must understand not only the
technical side of his own business,
but he must be familiar with the
scientific principles underlying 1t. He
must also be so familiar with history,
economies, and government that he
can understand the relation Of his
business to other lines OF business
and effectively participate In the AZ

Training for agriculture is not
training for a job. 1t is preparing
to manage an independent business,
to build a great and prosperous
commonwealth, to render real ser.
vice to humanity.
Let every farm boy who contem-
plates attending college think seri-
ously of these facts. Let him con
suit with his father and mother and
decide what he will do with his
life.

Inter-Class Meet
at Gardiner HIGH

The inter-c.ass meet held at Gardi-
ncr High was hot and exciting. AL
though the seniors had four letter
men and were doped to win by a good
margin, they could rot have won with
out the work Of George Gray. who
took four firsts and Individual honors
with 20 points. Dale OF the sophie
mores came second with II points,
and Anketell of the seniors third with
eight points. Although there were
over 40 entries from the four classes
and three heats in the 20-yard dash
and both hurdles, the II events were
run off in one hour and so minutes.
The feature of the meet was that
out of 80 points, beside Gray, Dale
ana Anketell no one man took mora
than five points. The time was not
fast because of the small track, but
several upsets in the dope added inter-
est to the meet.
The mile was one of the best events
in point or time. Ward. senior, AMI
Hildreth. sophomore. were fighting for
tho lead when both fell on the last
turn and Leighton, freshman. passed
them up. DAY idson of the sophomorcE,

Legion Film. Shows
Realities of War

When the boys came back from
France they didn't talk much 4Sabout
the dark and trying phases of their
experience. They knew it was use
less to try to give the civilian a pic
ture of the real thing. The average
doughboy didn't have the descriptive
gifts necessary to give his parents an
idea of how it felt when a shell burst
within ten yards of his foxhole. Only
the moving picture photographer
could do justice to the situation, and
he, fortunately for posterity, was
right on the job. When the COB was
running a submarine with a depth
charge. the soldier going over the
top. the marine digging in, the artil-
leryman laying down a barrage, the
aviator bringing down an adversary,
the movie man was there tNrecord it.
From the best of the governments
millions of feet of film taken by the
war photographer, a signal corps Of
ficer selected five reels which he en-
titled FLASHES of Action" This film

What About Baseball?

The question "what about baseball
this year" is not a new one, Simply
history repeating itself as will be
seen from the following clipping from
the Home Journal of 1866.
The Ken. Tn. Ag. and Hort. So
ciety propose to offer n prize of 500
for the best baseball playing at their
next fair. provided the citizens will
raise half the amount. We think this
can easily be done. Baseball is fast
becoming q National game. and we
know of no more attractive or ration
al amusement. We doubt not it
would draw veey many to our show
and awaken the interest OF our cit
liens in this manly game.
"In conversation with one of the
Cushnoc club of Augusta, we were
assured that the club would be pleas
ed to meet their old antagonists, the
Androscoggins on that occasion. We
hope the proper authorities will move
in the matter and that the money
may be raised, the preliminaries ar
ranged. and due notice given"
But history is not always q repeat
er. In the same paper is advertised
the fact that the Gardiner residents
were to have an opportunity to see
the circus, though it was advertised
as 1.-THE Great American Hippocol-
losiculum and Octoplexzara." Admis-
