TWO RESERVE COMPANIES HERE

Besides the engineering unit of the
are two other military organizations
assigned to Brookings, these being
Company A, 356th Infantry. seth divi-
sion, and a motor transport company
Of the 356th infantry. Arthur S. Nit
chell, former lieutenant in command,
has been promoted to captain in the
Officers Reserve corps.
The chief of staff Of the S9th divi-
sion announced today that widespread
interest is being manifested through
out the division area in the enlisted
reserve corps. Inquiries in regard to
enlistments are being received in
large numbers from former service
men, all Of whom signify a desire to
identify themselves with this com.
ponent Of the armed forces of the
country.
The points about which the greatest
number OF inquiries are received are,
eligibility for enlistment, and attend
ance at camp during the training
period. Any man who served / in the
army or marine corps for at least four
months between April 6, 1917 and
November IL, 1918, is eligible to be
enlisted in the highest grade honor
able held by him during that time,
physical examination, only, being e
essary.
In referring to The attendance at
training camps, Col. Hopkins, chief
Of staff, was emphatic in his statement
that it was his policy to excuse from
such attendance any man upon whom
this absence from home and business
would work an undue hardship. Con.
tinuing. Colonel Hopkins said: 1T is
realized that we are located in the
heart of a great agricultural district
and that the period of summer train.
ing will conflict somewhat with the
harvest season. 1t Is not and will not
be our purpose to interfere with the
civil pursuits Of members Of the re-
serve corps. War department regula.
tons provide for just such contingent
cies by directing us to give due con
sideration to the occupation and other
civil duties and responsibilities of re.
serve officers and enlisted men.

PROBE OF GASOLINE PRICE

St. Paul Pioneer Press-The rise in
the price OF gasoline in the knowledge
of a large increased reserve supply
looks wrong on its face and makes an
official probe timely. The senate has
instituted an inquiry which will be
followed with interest by the tens OF
millions Of consumers in the coun-
try. When the tremendous consump-
ton is considered, an advance or but
a CEN a gallon running TO millions of
dollars, becomes a matter OF great inn
p~ortance.
What should be definitely determin-
ed, to make the inquiry of value to
the public, is whether the price is
reasonable, yielding only a fair and
not an excessive and eXtortionate
profit and whether the situation is so
dominated and controlled that a price
is made arbitrarily by any or a COM
bination OF the big refiners which
smaller concerns are compelled TO
adopt. What the public knows is that
there is no VARIATION OF price. With a
half dozen apparently separate and
independent companies supplying gas
oline, the price is absolutely uniform
among them. The Standard Oil COM
pany seems to be price spokesman or
leader, and any change Of quotation
it makes is followed by all the rest
with a promptness that is magical if
it is not concerted.
The public wants nothing that is not
fair. Developments of the senate in
quiry, il il is complete and on the
square, should give the necessary in
formation. Two points should be de-
termined-whether the price is fair
and whether there is anything like a
price fixing combination or control
which forces prices regardless Of con.
ditions and economic law. The impress.
sion which is common is that the price
is too high. New methods have cheap
ened the refining process and in
creased the percentage Of profit and
the has taken no benefit
1 i VI Nv mum "i6h' piOpSiiy NC
devoted to ascertaining how this pro
cess, protected by patent, operates
with the several refiners and whether
royalty costs are carried into higher
gasoline prices. The present price
is either justifiable and right or il
is exorbitant and wrong, and the pub
lie should be advised with authority
which it is.

turist at State college, against ruin
ing our spruce trees by improper
trimming.
DR.. Hansen says that one OF the
most beautiful trees in the world is
the spruce. The Black Hills spruce
and Colorado Silver or Blue spruce
are the two best for South Dakota
The perfect pyramidal habit is the
chief beauty OF the trees. They are
beautiful from the tine they are a
foot high or less until they become
large forest trees. | regret to note
that some Of the spruce trees in he
Brookings cemetery have been mutt
lated beyond repair by trimming up
the lower limbs. 1 trust no more Of
this Will be done and that a restrain
ing hand will be laid upon all tree
butchering Of this description. Spruce
trees should never have the lower
limbs cut off. They viii then be
beautiful from the ground up to the
topmost terminal point. The city OF
Brookings is noted for its many beau
tiful spruce trees and this note of
warning | trust will prevent anyone
else in town from trimming up their
spruce trees.

CHILDREN AND PATRIOTISM

II has not been customary in Brook
ings to take any large part in the
Memorial day exercises as is the case
in most American towns and cities
but this year an honest effort is being
made to give the children an import
ant part in the observance Of this
great patriotic day. In order to make
this successful the parents OF the
children will have to cooperate in
encouraging them to participate in
marching in the parade and decorat-
ing the graves at the cemetery. IL
the public schools were still in ses-
sion it might easily be placed in the
hands of the teachers but since they
will be closed it is left up to the par
ents.
AS a striking example Of how few
of our children know the meaning OF
Memorial day the sixth grade chill
dren we're asked how many Of them
had ever seen the decorating Of sol
diers' graves at the cemetery on Mem
orial day and only six out OF the en-
tire group raised their hands. Where
this state of affairs exists, it is plair
that the children need patriotic in
struction.

TRIUMPH FOR THE BUDGET

New York World-Director Charles
G. Dawes has been able to give to the
president, and the president to con
gress, a very good account Of the oper-
alton OF the bureau Of the budget for
the first few months of it's active eX-
istence. The governments savings
for the current fiscal year are placed
at 1907 SOC, 600, of which no less than
$250,000, 600 can be attributed to econ
omies and efficiencies effected by exc
cutive pressure upon the various re-
cutive pressure upon the various de-
The difference between the larger
and smaller figure represents SAY

But the smaller figure, small in itself,
is evidently a real and notable achieve.
ment Of the budget system. 1t is
money saved, not by comparing actual
costs OF departmental administration
with appropriations made for such
purposes but by comparing them with
tile actual costs for the preceding
year.
When the ordinary expenses Of the
federal government were running
under $1,000, 900, 900 a year the late
Senator Aldrich said that the figure
was capable of being reduced by $780,
OOO,00 without injury to the federal
service in any way. Those expenses
have been greatly expanded by the
world war and its aftermath. But for
all that, a reduction in the routine
costs Of administration approaching
the Aldrich calculation Of old possible
ties is a fact worth talking about. 1t
contrasts things done in many mil.
lions of dollars with things that might
have been done to the extent of a
dollar. The great credit due to Mr.
Dawes and the Harding administra'
ton is not to be belittled.
The budget system is already amply
indicated. But it will take more than
one year for it to work u it's full
worth. The executive branch Of the
government is doing it's part to tina,
end. 1t remains for congress to do its
part in cooperation with the execu
tive, and this is what, up-to-date, con
gress has lot been doing.

BUSINESS GIRLS CLUB

The Business Girls club had q regu-
lar meeting Monday evening. During
the first part Of the evening part Of
the club went out to the Market"
grounds and were initiated into the
mysteries of that game while the rest
of the club met at the library for the
basketry class. During the latter
part of the evening a business meet
ing was held in which the finance COM
mittee reported on the budget for the
year and the members discussed the
Geneva delegation. A number of
names were proposed but as those
suggested were not sure of their being
able to go a committee was appointed
to take up the matter personally with
them and secure the delegates. Be-
side the Geneva delegates it is hoped
that there will be a number who will
attend either the Community camp,
July 21-23 or the Vacation camp for
Business and Professional women
from July 81 to August 10. Informa-
ton concerning expense and arrange
ments can be secured at the Y. w. C.
A. office. All girls who wish to play

grounds at any time. All the equip

play. Miss Joerns will be glad to *
plain the game to anyone.

much to charm the eye and engross
which is true. The trouble with the
cutters, however. is that they lack
the vision TO behold and that they are

affairs; they are absorbed in their

OPERATE SAUFLEY
ON WINTER BASIS
Charles McDuffie Will Be in
Charge; Pavilion and Dance
Hall Open to Public.

After Sunday of this week Saufley
Beach will be operated on a winter basis
The beach will be kept open for patrons
and Charles McDuffie viii be in charge
The bathing pavilion and dance hall and
other buildings Will be for the use Of
the public. There will be weekly sched-
ule of boats, as the tourists will make a.
trip every Tuesday afternoon at p. m
Boats may be chartered at any time dur
ing the winter to make the trip. The
management will encourage the patron
age of fishing parties, as comfortable
quarters are available for night lodging
and Mr.. McDuffie can provide the meals.
There are many who like surf bathing
during the fall and early spring and the
winter tourists are fond of going over to
the outer beach to see its beauties.
On Friday Saturday and Sunday of
this week the launch Tourist will make
a O'Clock trip to the beach from Mag
nolia street wharf which will be the last
regular weekend trips this season. Ed
mundson and Hyer will run boats as
chartered during the rest Of this year.
The past season there were 1884 per-
sons to check through the entrance gate
as patrons. Considering the adverse
weather conditions and the inability to
obtain excursions as planned the season
has been rather remarkable in the patron
age given by the citizens of the city.
The plan for next year includes weekly
excursions from out of town, a better boat
schedule and several improvements in
the service generally.

PLANE CLIPS MASTS
OF FISHING CRAFT
Knocks One Mast Over and
Clips Four Feet Off Another;
Plane Flies On.

An Nc seaplane piloted by Lieut.
Sherman in taking off from the bay op-
posite the watch tower at the Naval Air
Station yesterday morning at II o'clock
collided with the masts of the fishing
vessel Dardanella, Of the White Star
Fish company's fleet, knocking one to
the deck OF the craft and clipping about
four feet off the other. With the ex-
ception OF a hole in the hulle of the plane
she was not damaged, and flew on with
her course uninterrupted.
Castillino, an italian member of the
crafts crew, sustained slight injuries
when the mast fell.
G. Giorgetti is master Of the "sching,"
as this particular type of fishing vessel
is known. The craft was on her way
to the banks when the accident oc-
Cured. Necessary repairs are being
made at the Naval Air Station, after
which the boat will proceed on her fish
ing expedition. f.
This Is the first time since Uncle Sam
located his flying school here that such
an accident has been recorded, it is said.
One not acquainted with aeronautics
would believe that If one of the planes
struck an object while in the air that
IL would be instantly thrown off its
course and probably wrecked. However,
this one clipped the masts and contin-
ued it's flight, making a safe landing
shortly afterward.

learned at the local office Howard
Humphreys. general superintendent. and
c. H. Jackson. supervisor, formed a
wrecking crew and left the city. They

Barr Found Guilty
Immoral Relations
With Young Girls

After q short deliberation a jury in
the court Of record yesterday found
George Barr guilty of a grave charge in
connection with alleged immoral rela-
lions with two young girls, one ID years
of age and another about 49,. The jury
reported the verdict and Judge Jones
announced that passage of sentence
would be deferred.
Barr was arrested about month ago
following considerable investigation of
reports that came from several sources
to the authorities, and more than 100
spectators assembled yesterday to listen
in on the testimony. This was colorful.
